Install the ExtPack on the Host and turn on USB2 support for the VM. Then make a generic filter for your android, as it can identify itself in more than one way. You have to fiddle with the fields that get filled when you create a device specific filter. Try it with an empty 'catch all' filter first to see how it goes.

It is also advisable to install the SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones in your guest.
