SGS II running Darky Rom. I have 3 gigs of Music that I want to transfer from my phone to my computer (for back up reasons) -- how can I do this without using USB ?
My USB doesn't work anymore. I select it from settings - it says "insert USB cable" - but when I insert USB cable -- absolutely NOTHING happens. It just sits there.
USB FAIL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Help I need to back up my stuff.

Wifi file sharing?
Bluetooth file sharing?
I can transfer files from my phone to computer using wifi and blue tooth ?
I tried using some wifi share program but it too failed -- reason? The folder I'm trying to transfer is 3 GB (it stopped after 1.5)
Non-stop failures. Anyone know why my USB is being gay or any tricks to fix it ?
Also tried connecting at different computers (work and home) so I think it's the phone that's faulty.
Damnit. If I do a reset will i lose music/videos/pictures etc ?

Replace the part. Looks like someone already suggested you to do this in your other thread here.

No. Reset should only wipe the /data partition. Shouldn't touch your /sdcard partition, unless you also specifically format your internal SD while you're at it.

How about buying a microSD card transfer everything to it?
I'd already on microSD buy a card reader.
My phone (Xperia Mini Pro) ALWAYS connect to pc automatically when it is connected to pc using usb cable...is there any way to disable it?

This is something I'd also need to know.

Try Multi Mount SD-Card from Google Play Market
I'm not running sony ICS, so I'm not sure how different it is from GB.
In GB I go to settings> sony ericsson.
There you can change mtp or msc connection, auto connect etc

No, it hasn't. You can still decide how to connect to the PC. But you can't (even on Gingerbread) decide not to connect to it.

On stock ICS ROM, there is no option to disable auto connect in msc. On GB we had that option.
You're right, I forgot that. My mistake!
I think you can Disable it from windows control panel, on Autoplay option i guess.

Found out where the option is hiding for Linux users:
Settings -> Xperia(TM) -> Connectivity -> USB connection mode -> change to MSC for use in Linux
No solution for the other problem though

I do not understand what people here are talking about.
Our phones can be connected to the PC in two ways. Say mode A and mode B.
In GB, there was an option saying "Auto Connect in Mode A [Y/N]". If it was set to yes, it would connect to mode A everytime plugged in to PC.
Else it would connect to Mode B.
In ICS, System Settings... Xperia... Conectivity, you can choose between the Connectivity mode (either A or B).
If it is in A mode, the SD card is UNMOUNTED from the phone and is mounted for the use of PC solely.
In mode B, to the contrary, the SD card is NOT UNMOUNTED from the phone, and still can be used on the PC. That is, the SD card can be simultaneously accessed by the PC and the hand held device.
Correct me if I am wrong.
Good Day,
Rick

I thought it worked this way, too. But then I tested it, and it's not like that.
In GB, you can choos to connect in MTP or MSC. If you choose MSC, you can then choose if you want to activate the "autoconnect in MSC" feature. If this feature is allowed, when you plug your phone in the PC your memory card will be connected in MSC mode. If this feature is not allowed, when you plug your phone your memory card will not be mounted in the PC. Not in MSC, nor in MTP. You'll just use your PC to charge the phone, let's say that.
Since this feature doesn't exist on ICS, when you plug your phone you're forced to mount your memory card.

In my case: I need to select MSC mode, because MTP mode is not supported in Linux.
Not really sure about the others though

So no fix for this yet. It is really pissing me off. So much so that I might have to downgrade until there is a fix.

Could work but will disable auto connect feature of your USB or external storage.
I have installed Samsung USB Drivers manually and also tried Kies to install the newest drivers, but my Samsung Galaxy S3 still isn't recognized by my computer. What can I do?
EDIT: It only works sometimes, so when I plug it out and in like 10 times, maybe I'm lucky and it will connect once.

I have the same problem. My VSGS3 works with my W8 laptop but not my W7 desktop (at all). The only thing I can assume that it would be is MTP issues with Truecrypt (my desktop is encrypted). I cannot get it to work at all.
take a look at this thread...

You can use MTP mode to copy the files to the computer.
The device will appear with a phone-logo in 'My Computer'
Just plug Samsung USB cable into USB port on a PC with the Samsung USB drivers installed and cut and paste as many GB as you want .SD Phone or EXT SD card via Windows Explorer as normal .

This problem is quite depressing Has a restore fixed it for anyone?
I use mac OSX and after searching for a month or so, I couldnt find a solution to connect via USB. So now I use 'Air Droid' app from Play Store. Its pretty good and simple!! Plus, you can do alot more stuff like send or read SMS from PC.. Dont need to connect via USB anymore
I found that installing that rootkit installed the drivers to connect via USB - didnt root it just installed it for the drivers. THANKS!
I am having the same problem.
My Galaxy S3 charges when connected to computer via USB.
But is not detected in USB Debugging or regular mode.
Which windows version are u using. Try installing pdanet.exe on ur pc

You must know what windows you use, 32 bit or 64 bit? Download Kies through Samsung website, make sure got right software.

If you are using x64 Windows 7 this will EXE file can be found here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Samsung\Kies\USB Driver\SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.exe
back this up and then you can remove KIES. This is all you need to have your phone connected without ever really needing KIES.
Or you can use the driver provided by the TOOLKIT that MSKIP has designed (thanks - love it).

nothing has worked for me. I have not tried the toolkit but I installed drivers from the TeamEpic's easy root as described by QBKing77 and those have not worked since I installed twrp
One more to this incredible situation :angel:
experienced the same on my win7 64 bit. I removed it on the faulty usb port to another one and then luckily the driver installation went fine. Weird but worked.

This is probably a common problem, I saw lots of threads but I can't find any solutions to it, and I really want to make my phone faster i.e. root
Phone: LG P990 (Optimus 2x)
Problem:
Phone not detected by the computer when connected through USB.
What I tried:
1. Factory reset (only data)
2. Cleaning the port with a toothbrush
3. Uninstalling and re-installing drivers
4. Replacing the cable I was using with the OEM one (I lost my original together with my charger)
5. Plugging into different computers and USB ports
6. Checking and unchecking the option of connecting through mass storage only
7. Enabling and disabling USB debugging
What's so incredible about my problem is that the phone actually knows that it is connected to the computer - the USB tethering option is available and it says that USB's connected - but the USB connection icon on the status bar for mass storage doesn't show up. I'm not sure if it's a software or hardware problem. So any ideas how to fix this?
Bump.
Android version: 2.3.4
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9
Firmware version: LGP990-V20d
Please help!
Just some updates.

Hi guys,
I'm n00b here. I'm owning ZTE Grand X (Macedonia, T-Mobile) but I'm unable to connect my phone to my laptop and access the phone storage?
I installed adb and the rest of the driver package, enabled USB debugging in the Developers options. When I go to the Storage, Unmount preference is disabled and description says "MTP function is active". When I go to the device manager under Imaging Devices I see the phone as F:/ drive. But I'm not able to access it or see it in My Computer.
I'm running on stock rom, no root access.
Any pointers?
Thank you
Try a different USB cord. Also, check zte general section as opposed to atrix as it could be a known issue...

here's a link with some tips (which may or may not help!) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2077174
Are you able to access recovery? If you don't get anywhere I'd think about trying a factory reset
how about using the 'unmount' function and see what happens?
