When I connected my tab to the computer using usb cable, it popped up with MTP and the tab shows in the windows explorer.
But after I push the home button and quit the MTP mode, how can I bring MTP mode back without plug in/out the usb case? Is there any shortcut? Thanks.
How can I share files between tab and computer without using the usb cable?
My computer don't have bluetooth and I don't prefer wifi ad hoc p2p connect.
I feel a bit regret to buy the tab as not to have the sd card slot is really inconvenient. I cannot move the pic in the camera to the tab easily.

Get websharing app from market to copy files without using cables. Trial version lets you copy 1 file at a time. Paid version lets you copy multiple files at once.
Also, regretting about anything is just waste, search and you will find answers to all your questions in abundance, that has most and all the solutions.

Thanks. I will try it.
I searched for MTP and could not find an answer.
Just got another question: How can I reduce the volumn of the feedback "ding" when pressing the menu?

anyone got a shortcut to start mtp without taking cable out and in?
I can't get MTP back at all, I tried to do a factory reset and uninstall lord but nothing works.
Also tried using the "kies saver"from Samsung apps but it wouldn't work either.
Can someone please help me

You mean you are not able to see the tab in the computer after connecting it or the MTP screen is not displayed on the tab?
FYI :
After the latest update MTP screen is shown only when some file operations are going on. Not always when the it is connected to the computer as earlier.

Turn USB Debugging off. I have the Galaxy S 2 on Sprint and it has a terrible habit of turning it on by itself, which disables MTP mode. Not sure where in Honeycomb the setting is, but on my phone it is under settings - applications - development.
Uncheck that and problem solved I bet.

On the tab.
But when I want to update the tab I'll get a message that says "unable to convert to update mode".
and I can only transfer small images otherwise it shuts down (kies)

I bought a USB connecyion kit and use a small USB stick. I also use it for backing up data so that when I do a hard reset on my Tab I ca njust plug the USB stick in and restore all data using Titanium Backup.

Hello to all!
This is my first post at xda so good day to you all I'm an Android dev and a lurker for some time, and now it's time to speak up since I've bought myself my own SGS2 which I already rooted and heavily modified.
My question is: I have a Kia Ceed and I can't make the Galaxy S2 to work with it as a source of music. The car's stereo isn't recognized as a PC so I can't turn on the USB transfer mode. Is there any way to force the phone to turn on the USB transfer mode regardless of what's it's connected to?
Thanks
Marcel

Have you tried...
settings > wireless and networks > usb utilities > connect storage to pc?
Nope, that does nothing. The car's lcd says 'reading' but nothing happens on the phone.

In that case, I think you might be stuck with having your music on your SD card and using a card reader!
Nope, if you are using Stock ROM, it does not use a standard USB ATAPI driver.
CM7 has a USB Storage mode which when turned on, should work. Since it uses a standard USB ATAPI driver.
try settings\ applications \ development \ click usb debugging.

A card reader on your car keyring is hardly increasing the number of devices! Just offering a suggestion.
Before going to cm7, i'm pretty sure i had to turn debugging off to get the usb to work.

You do, but it tells you that when you turn USB storage on.
I have also same car model (ceed) and also same phone (s2). So Cm7 really does the job? Can anybody confirm? Or is there any other solution that car stereo could recognize sd cards on the phone?
Hey all,
My roommate recently bought a Galaxy Tablet 10.1 and it just now wont connect to the computer.
When the device is plugged into the computer (we tried both a mac and a pc with updated kies mini installed on both) and the tablet says USB is connected, but it doesn't show up on the pc.
Any ideas?
We had it connected earlier in the day, and know it won't work. I'm puzzled.
I've got an infuse, but i've never had anything like this happen before.
Try going into settings> applications> development and tick or un-tick usb debugging. Might have to try both settings plugging and unplugging from the computer to finally get it to come up. Give it a couple minutes between each to be sure its going to see it or not.
This has worked for me in the past when something changes and I don't know what. Also re-installing the drivers on the computer has helped before for some reason. I'm using Windows7 so YMMV.
Let us know what helps.

Are you stating it's not showing up as a storage drive in Windows when using USB, or are you stating KIES cannot see the tablet (or both)? If Kies, welcome to the club - you are far from alone. I know of no known solution (that topic has been beaten to death on all forums). Togling the USB dedub option may help with respect to Windows seeing it as a storage drive (try another USB port, too), but with respect to Kies, if you find a solution (that you can duplicate) please share. The only way I've ever been able to get Kies to work twice on the same computer was to reset the tablet back to factory defaults - at which point, I can connect VIA Kies one more time, then back to square one.
Good luck!

Kies see's the device, but wont connect. Windows doesn't see if as a USB device.
We tried toggling the USB Debugging switch to no avail.
On my infuse when i plug it into my laptop i have to go to the notification window, click on the usb connected notification, and then select mass storage mode.
We get the notification on the tab, but when i click on it nothing happens...

nothing is supposed to happen. it uses MTP not mass storage. On your laptop, go to "Computer"...it should be there under a portable media device.
if that doesn't work....make sure USB debugging is UNCHECKED...it will NOT work with it checked.
If all that doesn't work..try another USB port
I believe the issue is on a windows machine it usually pops up a box where you can select what you want to do. Such as open folder to view files, etc... and this isn't happening. Probably wrong in my thinking but who knows.

Ezcats Re: Nothing should happen.
This is not entirely accurate. My experience parallels Benzoman's statement. Each and everytime I connect my 10.1 4G (GT-7500D), Windows does indeed open a box asking what I'd like to do with it. It does show up under Computer as a device, and I can readily access it to copy files (however, Kies won't connect... Kies recognized that fact that I plugged it in, and attempts to connect, but never does - again, unless I reset it to factory in which case Kies not only finds it, but will connect to it - once).

So yeah, I give up trying in hope to get some decent help here.
I am not able to connect my SGS3 to any of my 2 PC's or my notebook.
I have tried everything as far as I know (on all 3 systems):
(Re)installed KIES
(Re)connected my SGS3
Rebooted the computers
Rebooted the phone
Did a factory reset
Used the SGS3 toolkit
Tried different USB slot
I even bought a new USB cable just to be sure :s
When I plug it in it starts charging and that's it.
Windows doesn't even give the confirmation sound when any random USB device is connected.
I don't see my SGS3 anywhere on my computer (not in device manager, nowhere).
I reinstalled KIES several times and installed the drivers through the SGS3 toolkit.
I own the international SGS3 with stock rom (haven't been able to update at all because of the connection issue).
I do not know what to do anymore.
Please help oh wise XDA gurus !
I would try a return to supplier and get them to prove its not hardware

Probably a broken registry on your computer try fixing it using advanced system care (it's free) afterwards try reconnecting it again. If that doesn't work try to go to samsung's support section and see what you can find to resolve your issue.
I tried it on my PC at work, same problem.
Registry issue on 4 different machines?
I think not.
Also:
I got connectivity for a moment on both my PC and notebook but it went away within seconds.
The phone gave the notification that it is connected as a mass storage device.
Then the message disappeared and it only charged and nothing else.
Playing with the cable it came back and off a few times.
Now it stays disconnected.
Seems like the connector in my phone is dead :s?
Open Terminal Emulator
type SU
then type this.....
setprop persist.sys.usb.config mass_storage adb

Check the connector on your S3. The PC's maybe fine, but something is shorting pin 2 & 3 thereby nullifying the data pins.Hence it is being detected as a charger.(Actually that is the difference between a charger connection and a PC connection).Thereis a thread on XDA about cleaning it with a toothpick. Takes a few minutes actually.
you may consider on cleaning your phone's usb port
in addition, there is an app in the market (for free) that enables/disables usb mass storage (that's how i used to fix my usb problems; i honestly dunno why)
also, if u have tried different roms (stock/kernel), it may be a hw problem.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
I thought I had connector problems myself sometime ago, but as Dr Danish said, I un installed the samsung drivers which are different from un installing kies. Restart pc and connect phone, make sure you have Internet, and windows will auto install them again.

if this is happening on multiple machines then its more likely to be the phone, did it happen after a flash phone reboot?. It happened to me on my old galaxy S2 after flashing a corrupt MIUI ROM.
Flash back to FULL stock should resolve, if not then your phone is in a state you can return it in, if you haven't had it long they may do a straight swapout.
It is the only thing that worked for me. It tells the phone to inquire about mtp/mass storage everytime it is connected

Does that mean you solved this with a flash back to Stock as I advised?, although sgs3 doesn't use mass storage, if you are on stock you wouldn't get these messages unless you had rooted and installed EASUMS. When you plug it in it should just say on your phone "connected as media device" and it will connect to your PC using MTP. All you need for MTP to work is the correct drivers, Kies install will provide these if you havent found them elsewhere.
Where are you at now then?
Sup my XDA'erzz... Hey so real quick is anyone experiencing issues with Android File Transfer and a Mac? I'm specifically using a Macbook Pro i& quad-core with a SSD and running OS X 10.9 Mavericks... I never had these issues with my Verizon OG HTC One 32GB... But since picking up a Verizon HTC One Max 32GB Android File Transfer refuses to work and for the life of me I can't figure out why.. If I just plug it in nothing happens unless I manually launch AFT and then I receive a message that says please connect your android device with a usb cable. If I plug it in and restart the phone it picks it up but then says can not connect to device... It's extremely annoying because I'm working on some ROMs for it and I have to constantly ADB push everything....... Not that big of deal but I'd still like to be able to mount my storage where everything is visible and can add/remove as I please.... Any suggestions would be great, thanks guys!!

Reinstall drivers, not a mac user so idk if you need the fastboot or adb files from sdk. But if you do, reinstall those exe files

Did you look at what the usb phone setting is on. I know there are extra ones like modem or something or other that could prevent transfer.
I am having similar issues, the mtp file transfer mode seems to borked. I can get files from phone but not send em. I've been mounting my external sd as drive then moving the files using root explorer.
Of course.. It always shows that MTP mode is enabled but does nothing when you tap it, and also shows usb is connected on the phone but when taping that it brings up only options for internet passthrough and sharing etc...

Could be the USB 3.0 intermittent issue. Try a powered hub that is USB 2.0 as if your notebook is new enough most likely the USB ports are all 3.0.
Just saying.
Our computer was restored and no matter what I do I can't get it to get any response when my Ultra's connected via USB anymore. So frustrated.
Any step by step correction would be greatly appreciated...(I'm not too bright, so feel free to break it down!).
I know it's stupid, but have you tried with another cable or in another USB port? Also, do you have a PC or a Mac?

I think when you connect the ultra you get notification to install software...just install it..and try to turn on and off usb debugging to make sure it responded...
If still no response, why don't you check device manager on you pc to see is the usb connection is detected cause maybe you need to install it manually...
