Computer freaks out when I plug my phone in

[cadabri]

Okay, so this was happening to me before with a different cord but I didn't need it as much, but now I do, my computer FREAKS out whenever I plug my phone in, spazing between connected and disconnected, any tips? (I'm using a samsung note 4 and a alienware laptop)

*Update- The phone is also keeps switching between charging times of 3 hours and 47 minutes, makes me think that it keeps switching between 'charging mode' and 'sync mode'. I have also tried switching usb cables and ports*

Have you tried it in another computer? What happens then?

I have not, and unfortunately do not have the ability

That sounds like it's the cord, have you tried using another cord and seeing if the same issue occurs? Also have you tried a different port?

Hmmm interesting.

 

Have you tried different cables? Different USB connection settings (in the phone)?

Already used a different cord, and a different slot

Its alright

Okay, so you could try this:

• Install the Samsung software or re-install it if it's installed
• Re-install USB drivers (you can do it simply in device manager)
• Connect using Bluetooth
• Research any app incompatibilities
• In device manager, uninstall the driver software for your phone (you can do this by other means too)

Are you using a custom ROM? Because I experience this while on AOSP-based ROMs.
