title: Galaxy S4 not recognized on windows 8.1 device manager
body: <p>I recently upgraded to windows 8.1 and tried to connect my Galaxy S4. I have installed:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>the Samsung usb drivers</li>
  <li>Kies</li>
  <li>ADT updated with usb drivers installed</li>
  <li>Fully updated windows 8</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>When I plug the device into the pc nothing whatsoever happens on the pc device manager and the phone says low power charging please use a recommended cable. The cable I'm using is the one that came with the phone and when I used it on a windows xp install everything worked as it should. Furthermore with the device plugged in this is the output from the adb when looking for devices:</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\Users\Ken\Desktop\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20131030\sdk\platform-tools&gt;adb k

  </code></pre>
  
  <p>At this point I'm fairly sure this is a compatibility issue with windows 8.1 and the galaxy usb drivers. However, I have been researching for days with no luck. The android version and model of the phone is 4.3 and SCH-I545 respectively.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for the help :)</p>
