"The problem may be the phone..."

The problem may be the phone. Look under settings and just go through each one and maybe choose something like "Enable USB Debugging" (Works with my phone but yours may not)

Probably you should go to that store from where you got your battery for your phone and this time go along with your phone so that you could check there it self that the battery is supporting your phone or not....and ask the person there to change the battery and give you compatible battery for your phone

*** you should always buy genuine battery for your phone and from samsung store only or any authorized dealer.

That usually implies that one of the plug coils is bent. like where you plug the cord to the camera....the little prongs that stick up can get damaged and bent....thus it isn`t really connected and thats why it isn`t charging. Had it happen to mine....I had to used heavy tweezers to grasp it and straighten....be careful it can break off easily.

"Depending on the type of your phone..."

Depending on the type of your phone, you could install the PC suite intended for it so you can search and manage the files inside your phone. You can type the phone model and the word `PC Suite download` after that in the address bar of your browser and click `Go` or the `arrow` and search for the program accordingly.
