Hi,
I recently upgraded my galaxy tab 10.1 to the cm9 ics rom. However, i cant seem to be able to mount the micro sd card on my PC. The tablet charges when its connected to the computer but thats all that happens. What an I do to fix this problem and are there any alternatives so that i can transfer files to my tablet.
Thanks
Go to settings>storage> 3 dots on the upper right>choose MTP.

Thank you. I know it seems simple, and once I did it I felt dumb for not checking MTP. So your little suggestion helped.
Prior to this, I had been doing things the long way... downloading files, moving them to my file server, then copying from server to tablet. Dumb, but it worked.
answer to galaxy problem connecting to computer
The best way to connect your Galaxy Tablet to your pc is Go to Google Play, download the Kies Air App to your tablet, follow simple instructions and you'll be 100% pleased! NO bs, no nothing but a solid Connection! You're not even required to connect your Tablet to your computer! I just tried it and it works beautifully!

so i'm trying to upload videos to my computer and came across dropbox. I tried it out but was unsuccessful. videos will not upload from my phone onto the app.
what are other ways of uploading videos from the vibrant to a computer ?
USB cable?
Sent from THE Vibrant......
I use dropbox and awesomedrop from http://labs.dashwire.com/drop/android and they work without a hitch.
Dropbox really is a great way to transfer files between multiple devices including you phone, but since it does have to sync with the cloud it is not as fast as a direct connection. Sometimes you just have to be patient, movies are large.
As always, if you need to sign up for a Dropbox account you should always use this this link --> https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTEyNTA5OTQzOQ?src=global0 <--

NO MINE
So I just tried out AwesomeDrop and it only lets you drop files from the computer onto your phone.
I need to do the opposite. Video from phone to computer.
I tried the usb route but I cannot seem to find video files on the folder that pops up on the computer screen. Maybe it's cause I cannot seem to find a way to choose mass store from my vibrant.
When I pop in the usb cable to the phone from laptop I get no pop up menu asking to choose mass storage on the phone ......

Yeah, forgot to put that awesome drop is great for PC to Phone transfer.
As far as the USB and what not, what are the USB settings set to on the phone?
Settings->Applications->USB settings

Menu button --> Settings --> Applications --> USB Settings
The options are:
Kies - Samsung Propriatary connection / software
Media Player - This is a MTP connection
Mass Storage
Ask on Connection
My USB setting was on MassStorage. SO I now have no clue what to do . I'm trying upload a video to youtube from my phone and cannot figure out how.
Man ! I thought this was going to be easy ...
I tried uploading a video str8 from my phone using the share>youtube>upload but I guess my video is too long for that to work.
Video is about 7mins long.
You may have a USB interconnectivity issue. I have noticed intermittent issues myself with various ROMs. Try rebooting the phone.

Are you on WiFi? I don't have any vids longer than a few minutes, but the ones I had I was able to upload via share from gallery. HD quality vids required me to be on WiFi though.

I'm not sure what you mean by interconnectivity issue, but rebooting the phone definitely worked out ..

As far as ROMS goes I will soon be rooting my phone for the first time and will be trying out new ROMS ... Can't wait.
Hello,
I think I've found a problem with the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, and Kies breaking on it. I bought one last Saturday, and got it replaced yesterday thinking it was broken (Phoned Samsung support and was told to get it replaced), but I can replicate the issue consistently on this one too (worked out apparent steps an hour ago).
Steps (starting with a factory reset/new tablet):
1. Click 'Kies via Wifi' to open the popup to select computer.
2. Open task manager, click 'Clear Memory'.
3. Click 'Kies via Wifi' again.
On step 3 the screen greys out but does not show the popup. Turning the tablet back off and on again does not solve it. I have so far only managed to correct it with a 'Factory Reset'.
When Kies is broken like this my PC (Windows 7 64bit) cannot connect over USB either - it times out 'Connecting...'.
Is this a known issue? (Can it be caused with any other steps people know of?)
Is Samsung aware of it if others can do it?
In regard to avoiding this problem, will the Android OS manage my memory so that I should never really need to use 'Clear Memory'? I'm a tidy person, and so have been using it quite often. Should I not be using it?
Thanks in advance for any answers
same
I have the same issue and it is annoying. I also tend to clear memory the whole time cause I had a windows mobile device ages ago and it is a habit now. I even do it on my ipad and iphone by double clicking home
Kies service breaks everytime for me and the only way to bet it back currently is to do a factory reset. I decided to stop using kies. just copy the files to the sd folder.
As a side note : How can I get plex to work on my p7500 32 gb 3 g vodacom tablet? It seems that vodacom will only get an update in 6 month's time.
Regards,
Kies issue
Yes, just got my samsung galaxy 10.1
Kies wifi does not connect after I activated it and cleared memory. I get a greyed out screen
USB connection now also fails with direct connect.
Managed to connect to Kies once before I activated the Kies Wifi
I suppose I will need to factory reset!
I've been using my tablet for two weeks or so now, without clearing memory and kies hasn't broken since. I guess it's a work around.
I think I've seen mention that the recent bug fix is supposed to solve some issue with kies, but I haven't yet been able to get my tablet to see the upgrade.

I too had the grey screen when pressing "Kies via Wifi". 2 factory resets later and I found the solution. Go into Samsung App Store (the one with the little coloured circles and the white light coming from above, not the Samsung Hub) and search for the Kies Saver Wifi.
It says to click on Recover which I did. Since then, no grey screen, Kies Wifi connects first time every time and Kies via the USB cable works too.
Hope it helps
not working yet
unfortunately searching in the samsung appstore for kies saver wifi or any combo gives no data as a result

Same problem here
I get 1 result when I search for 'kies' in Samsung Apps.
It says it's compatible with HoneyComb 3.0. I can't see any other reason why it wouldn't show up for you though unfortunately.
I haven't actually tried it myself yet, so I can't vouch for its effectiveness. Not clearing memory has been good enough for me so far.
Can anyone send or upload me please kies saver apk? In german samsung apps isn't this app.
And i can't find everywhere else. I've got the same problem.
Im getting sick of this sh*t
it does not connect kies with usb or wifi..
I cannot find an app to fix it or whatever.
what im supposed to do next?
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.

i just said that nothing should happen....its not mass storage..its MTP...you actually have to go into Computer, then select it.

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).

Windows 8 is exactly why. I've used it and you're right.

When I connect the phone to my PC via USB, I only get two options. One is a media mode and the other is a camera mode. Either mount the phone as a normal hard drive (like my Galaxy S1 does). While the media mode does allow me to copy files to the phone, it is really slow.
Is there a way to put the T999 in USB mass storage mode?
+1... this is stupid

try this. idk if it will work or not but its worth trying. i dont own a GS3 so i cant test it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1711009
its the new way that samsung is doing things using mtp. It won't even show on a mac. I guess well have to wait for a work around

On a Mac...
You have to install the Android File Transfer: http://www.android.com/filetransfer/
You also, when connected, have to change it from MTP to Camera... It'll load automatically on my Macs now.
On a PC, changing it to Camera makes it just connect and open up an explorer window.
After working with the phone for a few days I find I am using dropbox more and more as a replacement for connecting to my PC via USB. We'll see how it goes.
Got this new computer on Sunday. Came with windows8. I immediately upgraded to 10. So I cah't say anything about 8. It's not in my best interests to try to even use it.
My note 2 does NOTHING when plugged in to the computer. I have no drivers. Even the notification bar on the phone does NOTHING.
In short. I plug the phone in to PC and get NOTHING. So i can't access my phone as a external media device to retreive my pics and what not from phone to PC.
Right now, I'm using the ONE DRIVE cloud method. PRETTY SLOW.
Is there ANY way to get the PC and phone to connect using windows 10? If so, could someone please post a link to where the drivers or whatever i need might be.
THANK YOU.
Download samsung kies try installing it on your pc ,then i think you may find your phone compatible with with your pc.

Mine works out of the box with Windows 10.
Win 10......
Try a different usb port and or usb cable. I have multiple Win8 and 10 boxes and have had no issues with multiple different phones being recognized.
Hope this helps.
