Android - Driver issues when using Samsung Galaxy SIII via USB for development

The easiest way to get this driver is from the samsung website. There is a link to a download that installs only the driver (none of the bloat). See https://stackoverflow.com/a/11851697/1427165 for more details.


There's no need to install Kies. Download the driver SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_v1.5.14.0.exe (or a higher version) which is available from the Samsung website. Click on the Manuals & Downloads tab (below the image of the phone) and then the Software tab.

After installing, I connected the S3 via USB and Windows Update automatically searched for and downloaded a package that was 6.8MB, followed by this notification.

I restarted my computer (just in case) and I can now use the S3 for development, even though it says the device is connected as a "media device".
