How to Fix the USB Connector Connected Problem on Your Samsung Device

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.

1. 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.
2. 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.

1. Go to Settings > About Phone.
2. Scroll down and tap on Software Information.
3. Tap on Build Number 7-8 times until you see the message that developer mode has been turned on.
4. Return to the main Settings menu and now you’ll see Developer Options.
5. In Developer Options, scroll down and enable USB Debugging.
6. Scroll further to Default USB Configuration.
7. 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.

1. Go to Settings > Notifications.
2. Tap on App Notifications.
3. Tap the three-dot icon in the top-right corner and select Show System Apps.
4. Scroll down and tap on Android System.
5. Tap on Notification Categories and look for two USB options: USB Importance Slow and USB Connection.
6. 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.

1. Go to Settings > Software Update.
2. 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.

1. Go to Settings > General Management > Reset.
2. 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.
