windows 7 doesnt recognize my phone

---

i bought a data cable from ebay for samsung galaxy s2 but windows 7 doesnt recognize my phone. my friend has a galaxy s data cable i tried with it, it worked. his phone worked with my cable as well.dont these phones have same data cable? or galaxy s2's is different?

you must have bought a nokia data cable which is not compatible with s2

Have you tried another phone? Or device with micro usb? And does device manager recognize it at all? Even as an unknown device?

Have you tried connecting other devices? Is it micro USB A or B?

I tried my cable with a galaxy s and it worked.tried original galaxy s's cable with my phone, it worked.

do you think phone's modem causes this problem?

Just for starters why don't you turn off your phone and plug it in and then turn it back on. See if your computer recognizes a device while booting up. That's a start.

Have you taken the cable to another computer? Do you have access to another computer?
