The ability to connect your Samsung Galaxy S6 to a PC is definitely very useful. After all, it\u2019s one of the fastest ways of transferring files, no matter if we\u2019re talking about videos, photos or anything else you can think of. <\/span><\/p>\n

However, there are some special situations in which this doesn\u2019t work at all, for unknown reasons. If your Samsung Galaxy S6 can\u2019t connect to PC, there\u2019s no need to panic, since, like always, we have solutions for issues like this. <\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve put together a guide on how to fix this issue, so, without much further ado, let\u2019s begin!<\/span><\/p>\n

Why is my Samsung Galaxy S6 not connecting? <\/span><\/h3>\n

Technically speaking, this issue is caused by either your phone or PC, which can\u2019t detect the connection between the two. This leaves you in the impossibility to transfer files, sync contacts or even take things one step further and root your Samsung. <\/span><\/p>\n

There could be multiple reasons behind this – again – related to the phone itself or the PC, as well as to the cable you\u2019re using. Therefore, if you are facing this issue, follow the instructions below and you should be able to connect the two devices in no time. <\/span><\/p>\n

Check the cable<\/span><\/h3>\n

The first thing you should start with is the USB cable you\u2019re using for the connection. Make sure it\u2019s properly inserted in both devices. <\/span><\/p>\n

Also, you should be aware of the fact that some cables can only charge your phone and won\u2019t transfer any files. In this situation, it\u2019s highly recommended to use only the phone\u2019s original cable when doing such operations. <\/span><\/p>\n

Enable USB debugging<\/span><\/h3>\n

Out of the box, Samsung handsets don\u2019t have this feature enabled, so you need to do it manually, in order to be able to connect yours to a PC. <\/span><\/p>\n
