I'm on windows 7, 32bit, installed AT&T Samsung drivers.. Tried multiple USB cables that recognize my other devices.. But I can't for the life of me get this I747 to register as a portable device. Please help! Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Edit: device is stock and unrooted..

Try the assistance chat on Samsung site since you are stock they can help you better with that. It is starting to look like a hardware issue.

Try this. (use the usb cable that came with S3)
Worked for me on my Win7 32bit.
Had similar issues on XP. Different fix for XP.

I never get mine to show up on the first try. I usually have to plug it out and back in a few times for it to work. But when i got it working, it only works on the same usb port.

Another thing i did at first to get it to recognize the phone was to use the desk to app.

I kept toying around with this problem. My laptop has winxp. It would beep when I put the cable in, but I was always disappointed by no connection. Then my phone would tell me to try and download Kies. Did not want to do that. But I did. Connection could still not be made.

I stumbled onto a fix. Dunno if it will work for anyone else. I was juggling about 2 dozen things at the time and might have missed a critical step.

I plugged in a USB OTG cable with an 8gb flash drive. The phone recognized it! Even displayed a cute little message in the status bar that USB was connected (instead of MTP). This all lasted a whole 2.7 seconds after hours of searching for solutions.

I tried connecting it to my computer for another try, and I am proud to report that is is working flawlessly for now!!

I have had the same issue off and on. Found somewhere this past week a suggestion to pull the battery in order to cause a hard reboot. It worked. Plan on trying it whenever it happens again.
