[Q] File transfer issue - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am having issues transferring files off of my Tab. It works when it is a single item yet when I do multiple items it fails to even show the MTP modes screen on the device. I am running totally stock and any help would be greatly appreciated. Also I have tried multiple usb ports.

USB Plugin problems

I am having a problem plugging my Note2 into multiple PCs - USB2 and USB3 ports both tried, multiple pcs and laptops tried.
All running Windows 7 (Pro or Enterprise). The N2 is bone stock, no root yet.
It makes the sound like it sees the USB, but fails installing all of the drivers, and never brings up the window to explore the SD contents.
I have tried multiple drivers - the S3 driver that some said would be no issue does not work. Different carrier versions do not work.
Last I checked, there was no verizon version driver available.
Here is my process.
I plug it in.
It says Connected as Installer
I pull the window down, choose MTP.
It tries to install different drivers
Never completes in Windows, says failed.
I have tried with debugging checked and without.
I have tried aftermarket cables (namebrand and off-brand) as well as OEM cables from the S2, S3 and Note2.
I've removed hidden USB devices and plugged it into multiple different USB ports to try and get it to work.
Any ideas guys? Are you guys plugging your Note 2's in and are able to browse the internal storage no prob through windows ? If so, how?
nothing?
Simmilar USB connecting issues
My Note 2 does connect as a MTP media device with "directories" Card & Phone, via win7
But I want to connect the sd card as a standard usb mappable drive just like every other phone I ever had.
It seem Android used to allow this but now may not. Or I haven't found the magic setting.
I had a similar issue after I flashed the rooted image, I had to disable USB debugging in developer options, restart the phone and laptop to get it to connect as MTP

[Q]cant connect

hi. the problem im having is that i cant connect my phone to transfer files such as music and photos. i can use apps like airdroid and kies but want to discover the problem and have an easier way off organizing my files from computer to phone.
i recently flashed cm-9-20121209-NIGHTLY-galaxys2.zip then installed gapps-ics-201204929-signed.zip from internal storage.
thats the only two things i have done.
a window used to pop up when i plugged in the usb and it would also appear on 'MyComputer' folder. but neither happen now. I still get the connected sound when i connect the phone. I have tried different usb slots on my computer and have tried turning my phone off and on and rebooting it.
do i need a special driver for the cyanogenmod rom? thats the only thing i can think of!
anyone have any suggestions?
thanks

[Q] USB and Mac

For some weird reason I am unable to access files via Android File Transfer with usb cable. I never had any such problems with any other android device before. I just flashed S6 rom and still have same problem. Did anyone else face this? Any solution? Thanks.

I'm having the same problem on my MacBook, but not my iMac. Both are on Yosemite 10.10.3. I have USB debugging enabled and all that, and still can't get Android File Transfer to work. I've toggled it to get it to reauthorize this mac, but still no luck. I'm going to have to play with the MacBook. On the iMac, I did have to complete remove Android File Transfer and all of it's preference files, reboot, reinstall AFT, and reauthorize the mac to get it working. I'm thinking since I have more users on my MacBook, that may have something to do with it, so I need to dig in both user files. I'll report back
Also, I can't use ADB. I'm getting that the device is offline on both macs.
i am having same issue with.
installed smart transfer and still same issue

Copying files from W10 to the Le Max

Hi all,
I'm having trouble with copying files to the phone. When I connect it to my PC via USB The device pops up in explorer, but every time I try to copy something it fails. When I try to copy entire folders (I'm trying to copy Flac and MP3 music) W10 gives an error that it can't copy the files. When I try to copy files, it shows the copying dialog, but nothing ever happens, however long I wait. I've tried debugging mode, uninstalling Kies, Uninstalling the Samsung drivers, installing ADB drivers,... nothing seems to work. If anyone has any advice, it would be greatly appreciated.
I've also tried a new USB-C 3.1 cable, to no avail. I'm using the USB 3.0 port. When I try an USB 2.0 port with the USB 3 cable, the phone doesn't show up. Which is weird I guess but maybe due to the nature of USB-C.

I forgot to mention that I tried copying a picture from the phone to my pc, which worked perfectly.
Hello, I know your message was time ago, but I have now exactly the same problem with a Leeco LE 2, also with C-type USB, and searching for some solution I have found your question. ¿Did yoy manage to find the way to fix this problem?

You probably connected your phone to the PC as Camera(PTP).
When you connect your phone to your PC, the USB symbol should appear at the top of the screen. Swipe your finger from top of the screen down you will see the USB symbol saying USB for charging. Click on it you will see the 3 connection options, pick Media device(MTP) and you should be able to copies files between your PC.
Thank you for your response, but I'm afraid that this was right, I tried it with the MTP mode enabled.
me too i have problem of copy , I can transfer files to the phone, but I can not copy from the smartphone to the pc
MTP and usb debug is actived
i cant recover my TWRP backup
With version of software do you have?
Running 21s build with Server2016 and when I tried to cut the /DCIM/Camera directory frome the LeEco it just deleted it. Ughhhh.
Did you manage to solve this?
I'm in the same situation. I can't copy mp3 files to the internal memory of the device.

Note 4 Not Recognized by Windows & Linux

Note 4 Not Recognized by Two PCs
Hello Folks,
I have a Note 4 that I plan to install TWRP then a custom ROM on. Both Windows 10 & Linux Mint 20 do not recognize the phone. I enabled developers options, then enabled USB debugging. I first noticed this when I tried to copy the TWRP.tar file via Odin. The device doesn't show up.
This is allegedly a brand new phone.
There is no popup dialog box on the device when I plug it into either computer. The battery icon up in the tray of the device does have a charging sign, yet no option for file transfer.
However, When I connect a different Note 4 to either computer, it registers fine. In Thunar File Manager on the Linux PC there is a connection icon for the other Note 4 that says, Samsung Galaxy. Also, on that device itself there's a dialog box that pops up & asks for a file transfer. So this other device fine.
So, it seems both computers are OK. The problem is with the new phone. I've tried different USB cables & get the same issue. I've enabled & disabled the developer options & USB debugging & rebooted the device, & same thing. I've also tried a factory reset, that doesn't fix it.
When I search the internet for this issue the only things I've found are reports on swapping USB cables & making sure that USB Debugging is enabled.
I read this post about the same issue. So this might be the problem. Yet, I thought I'd post this anyway in case others have some ideas.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
