I have a Samsung Galaxy S3, running Android 4.1.1.

I am having problems connecting the phone to my PC. I can connect other S3 phones to my PC. So, I presume that it is not the PC (Windows 7) that has problems.

I am using the original Samsung cable. The URT is set to modem and USB is set to PDA.

Please help!

Well assuming that you can charge it okay, it is not the cable. Also, other phones get recognized by your computer so it's not that either. However, it's always good to have more than one verification on something. Try plugging your phone into another computer. If that works, you have a problem with your computer. If it doesn't work, the only option left is that it is your phone. I would just back up your data and do a factory reset. If that doesn't fix it, call Samsung.

Don't rule out the cable that easily: charging uses only 2 of the 4 contacts, data is another one. So also try another cable, just in case -- as you have several devices, you probably also have several cables, so this comes with no extra costs. – Izzy Mar 6 at 16:31
