Hi, This is an easy fix, I got this from a Samsung Tech...

1. Goto Menu

2. Goto Settings

3. Goto Usb Settings

4. Goto Mass Storge

5. Plug in USB Cable to phone and Computer

6. A box will open, choose to open and view files

7. Click on folder that says USB Drivers, and follow install instructions.

8. Now go back to USB Settings and choose Ask on connection!!!!

This was the perfect fix!!!!! Thanks

Sorry, but that still didn't help me.

I have installed the Samsung Charge driver set from the Samsung web site.  I am able to use USB mass storage and media modes just fine.  When I try to tether, my computer asks for a driver.  There is no other driver besides for the one that Samsung gave me.  My phone does not have a USB driver in its file directory as you descibe above.  (I can do all of those steps and the file simply isn't there).

It appears the Samsung driver supports charging, media, and storage, but not tethering.

Is there a separate Verizon produced driver that does?

Here is the link to the driver ....

my sch1510 won't even let me turn on the tethering feature! I have the same problem as the previous user, in that my phone won't teather. I can't upload pictures or download music or connect at all to my PC.

Hi David, I can help with your tethering. Do you have the feature active on your account? If you do not have the feature active, you will not be able to turn on the mobile hotspot. Also, when you connect your phone to your computer, make sure to enable USB mass storage mode for transferring media files.

• Slide down the Notification panel
• Select USB Connected
• Select Connect storage to PC
• Select OK 

Please let me know how this goes.

Ryebread,

I clicked on the URL and it appears that Samsung has removed the driver from its web site.  That's weird!

if you have windows 7 turn off UAC... That fixes 90% of people having issues.

Masss Storage, Media Mode and the Charge mode all have diffrent drivers but they are included with the device but the Teathering drivers are not...  When you check the hardware manager could you explain which driver the system is identifing as not installing, it usually have a question mark or astrisk located next t the icon...  

If you could give me this information I may be able to help...

Halfcent,

This is a long shot but try it anyway because it is such an easy thing to try.

From the main menu touch Settings>Applications>Development and change USB debugging so the red check mark is ON.  Now try to tether.  If this does not fix your problem just go back and UN check USB debugging.
