So I just bought my SGS2 yesterday. Its my first android phone ever. I wanted to upload music to it. So I read online, Samsung Kies will sync this baby up with all my music. But whenever I tried to sync music there, the process froze and I had to end it abruptly. Only 50% of my songs got uploaded at best.
Then I realized its just throwing files in the media folder, so I manually tried to copy-paste them there.. And even that process freezes, the phone drive on my PC becomes unresponsive and I have to unplug the device and plug it back it to get any response. This happens every time!
I have a bad feeling something's wrong with my phone! Help!
what version of windows are you using ?
.
older versions of windows require you to go to usb debuging and then manually activate the usb storage feature so you can copy and paste to the phone and/or external sd card.

I searched on the web and found some similar problems but not an answer to what is happening to my phone.
My GS3 is running CheckROM v5.5 android 4.1.1 and I cannot connect it succesfully to any computer via USB.
Inicially, after I got CheckROM, it was working, but I don't know what I did that made it stop working.
I've tried to connect it to a PC and a Mac, tried with Kies and without it. On the mac also tried with and without the Android File Transfer.
I tried with USB Debugger on and off, too.
I am almost certain the problem is in the phone, because when I plug it there is no message about choosing MTP or Camera mode, or anything like that, it's just like I am charging it on the wall.
Also, I am able to sync it to Kies with Wi-fi connection on my PC.
What I really want is to be able to transfer music and larger files to the phone via USB.
My phone does not have an external SD card, just internal memory. Is there something I'm missing that can fix this?
Sorry about any english mistakes ;}

The phone won't be detected by the computer. It does not appear on windows explorer.
Then you have no drivers install drivers see sticky on page one of General .

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
ROM: CM 10.1 041213 Nightly
Kernel: CM 10.1 packaged
PC: Windows 8
Samsung USB Driver: 1.5.22.0
For the last few weeks I have had trouble with transferring large quantities of music from my PC to my i777. This comes up when I'm trying to sync 1000+ songs to my External SD. It has been reproduced across different nightlies of CM 10.1, with and without AJK Kernel, after a clean wipe and reflash of CM 10.1. It has also been constant across both Mediamonkey and WinAmp, as well as both one of the older version of the Samsung USB driver as well as the new one.
Basically what happens is I plug the phone in, it mounts correctly in USB mode, then a message pops up telling me that something is wrong with the drive and asking me if I want to scan for and fix errors. I ignore this, because it does it every time I plug it in, even if I scan it every time. (As I write this, I'm thinking that maybe a CHKDISK /F is something to try?)
So I open Mediamonkey or Winamp, it sees both the internal and external SDs, and either it starts syncing or I direct it to. Begins syncing fine, copies a few songs, then around song 15 (~2 minutes?) I look back at the PC and there's an error message to the effect of "Program X was unable to create directory [new artist]. (Cancel, Ignore, Retry)." I check the file explorer and the phone is no longer mounted. I check the phone and it still reads "USB Connected" but the "USB storage" mode is no longer on.
I'm basically at a loss folks. I've troubleshot everything I can think of and I don't even know if it's the phone or the PC. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
Try Airdroid. Plus, this could be a CM thing if you've been having it for a while. Maybe backup, install a Sammy and see if your problem still persists.
But I'd try Airdroid first, hasn't let me down yet.

First off, I Used Vroot to Root my phone about 2 days ago, Installed SuperUser and all was well. I never tried transferring music before I Rooted it either. Now when I Connect it to my PC, I Installed all 3 Connection Methods Software, and my computer even says LG-P769 under Drives, but when I try to use Windows Media Player to Sync music It just gets stuck on 0% and nothing ever happens, I then tried manually transfering the Files into the MUSIC folder on the internal storage of the device, and at first a popup window states" You can transfer these files but your device may not be able to view or open them." I then click ok anyways, and it also just gets stuck on 0%. Is it the Root stopping me from this, am I missing something here?
Hello,
I installed yesterday a custom rom with 2.3.4 for an Xperia Play device and I've noticed that the phone is properly recognized, all drivers are fine, I can go into fastboot mode, bootloader unlocked, etc... and I can see the microSD card from the phone when this is plugged to the computer via USB.
The problem is that I copy files from the computer to the phone, windows takes its time and at the end says that it's all good, you can see the files in the phone, however when you then unplug the phone and go to that location, none of the new files are there?! :S
More weird is that then you plug the phone back to windows and the files appear there again?
Any idea what could be going on? and how I could copy files from windows to this android in this case?
Cheers!!
Maybe just links
Maybe you just linked to the files on your Computer. Move/Rename them on your Computer and see if you can still open them on your phone. If no you just created a link to the data stored on your computers hard drive. If yes I also can't tell you what's going on
Thanks, no the files were the complete files, no links.
I've been looking into this further, and reflash the mobile with a total different rom and still happening there (although with this new rom doesn't happen 100% of the times like with the other). What I've just now noticed is that the mobile doesn't recognize those files, but... if I REBOOT it, then they appear once it starts up?! so weird.... :S
