If you’re experiencing constant USB connector connected or disconnected notifications on your Samsung device, it can be incredibly frustrating. This guide will help you troubleshoot and fix the issue with a few simple steps.
Step 1: Check Your USB Cable and Port
The first thing to do is check if the problem is with your USB cable or port.
- Inspect the USB Cable
Ensure that your USB cable is not damaged. Try using a different cable or charger to see if the problem persists. - Clean the USB Port
Dust, dirt, or lint can accumulate in your phone’s USB port, causing connectivity issues. Use a small, soft brush or toothpick to carefully clean out the port.
If the cable and port are fine, move on to the next steps.
Step 2: Enable Developer Mode and Adjust USB Settings
Sometimes, enabling certain developer options can help solve this issue.
- Go to Settings > About Phone.
- Scroll down and tap on Software Information.
- Tap on Build Number 7-8 times until you see the message that developer mode has been turned on.
- Return to the main Settings menu and now you’ll see Developer Options.
- In Developer Options, scroll down and enable USB Debugging.
- Scroll further to Default USB Configuration.
- Tap on it and select Charging Phone Only.
This step helps control how your phone behaves when a USB cable is connected.
Step 3: Adjust USB Notification Settings
Disabling USB-related notifications can also solve the issue.
- Go to Settings > Notifications.
- Tap on App Notifications.
- Tap the three-dot icon in the top-right corner and select Show System Apps.
- Scroll down and tap on Android System.
- Tap on Notification Categories and look for two USB options: USB Importance Slow and USB Connection.
- For both options, tap Lock Screen and select Don’t Show Notifications.
By disabling these notifications, you may prevent the constant popups.
Step 4: Check for Software Updates
If the issue persists, it could be due to a software glitch.
- Go to Settings > Software Update.
- If there’s an update available, install it as it might contain bug fixes for USB issues.
Step 5: Reset Your Phone
If none of the above steps work, resetting your phone might solve the problem.
- Go to Settings > General Management > Reset.
- Select Reset All Settings. This won’t erase your data but will reset system settings to default.
Step 6: Hardware-Related Issues
If none of the software solutions fix the problem, the issue may be hardware-related.
- USB Port Damage: Your phone’s USB port might be damaged, causing the connection problem.
- Motherboard Issues: In rare cases, the motherboard may be causing the issue.
In this case, you should visit a professional repair shop or contact Samsung Support, especially if your phone is still under warranty.
