I've had my ATIV S Neo for a little over a year and overall it is probably the best phone I've ever had. And I like saying that because I think we all know that having a Samsung Windows Phone is a little odd and frustrating at times (compared to having a Nokia device). Sprint doesn't support it at all and having the Developer Preview option has been fantastic.

Anyway, I've still never been able to see my ATIV S Neo through a Windows 8.1 PC/Laptop. It makes the little sound recognizing that I've plugged it in but the device manager always says:

The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28) There are no compatible drivers for this device. To find a driver for this device, click Update Driver.

There are some tricks/ideas out there to get past this but none of them work (powering off the phone while connected, rebooting the PC, different USB port, etc.).

Anyone ever get this to work? You would think Windows Phone 8.1 would talk to Windows 8.1, but, well, its still software. :)
