I often plug my S3 into a USB jack on my computer to charge it. For the life of me, I can't find how to safely "eject" the S3 from Windows 7.
Can someone help me out here? I feel like a complete idiot!!
Just in the explorer window, down near the clock. The small symbol (can't remember exactly what it is - I've been using Ubuntu for 3 years. ) with a small green bubble at the top right of the symbol. Right click that and choose eject whatever the phones name is.
I normally just unplug it without doing any of that though.

Should be like this. Left click the USB icon in the system tray.
You might need to click the up arrow at the left end of the system tray and a pop-up box will appear with additional icons.

MTP does not need to be ejected since it cannot cause corruption, only transfer or not transfer the files that are pending.

s4fseeker is spot on, you don't need to 'safely remove' with MTP, if you'd rather though you can connect the S3 in 'mass storage' mode
(Settings-->Developer options-->USB Debuging), tick this and Windows should now show the safely remove option.
I suspect this is why other posters do have the option in windows

Thanks everyone! I feel much better about unplugging my phone from Win7. Much appreciated! :good::good::good:

Hey,
I tried sending some files from my SGSII to my laptop today, and the phone tries to send them, but eventually doesn't send them. Pulling down the notification bar and clicking the notification for "Failed Bluetooth transfer", gives me the image below. I have no problem understanding the error message, but what confuses me is that my laptop does not prompt saying there is an incoming file and thus allowing me to accept it >_<

Can someone please help?
Have you added your phone to your laptop authorised devices, if you dont then your file transfer will always fail.

How would I go about doing that?
When I had a HTC Desire it was pretty darn easy with the laptop I had at that time. But that laptop ran XP.
My present setup with the SGS2 vs a Windows 7 laptop is proving more of a struggle. But where can I find the list of Authorized devices?
Does your laptop have Bluetooth transfer wizard?
If so set it to receive a file then send from phone.

When I click recieve file I just get a screen that tells me "When you want to recieve a file on your pc from your phone you just to send the file and then accept the dialog" and then I can cancel it :/
The Transfer wizard doesn't allow me to make the pc "wait" for an incoming recieval, it just tells me that i can always send files and then have to click the dialog that NEVER comes.
Can we access internal storage? And if so how? Can we add/delete files?
Yea. Doesn't give option to storage when USB connects. Was just asking the same thing.

Select "Media Sync" - It uses MTP and the device will show up as a separate drive in Windows Explorer.

My home PC is WinXP and MTP no-workee. I installed Airdroid and it works great. It's a decent workaround.

I have the SDK on all my machines at home and work just so I can do stuff via ADB. I'm not a developer or anything, just comfortable with cl interface from the old DOS days. It didn't occur to me but that could be why MTP works on my Win7 box. I honestly don't know enough to answer that.
Hi
Friend of mine did this to his phone

Is there any way I could get data off it, it still powers up but drivers are not recognized on PC, tried kies, mobiledit but usb device is not recognized. Think Bluetooth and wifi are also switched off.
Anything else I can try or is it a lost cause?

I can now see the phone in Kies but it is locked due to a password needed on the device, no screen means I cant put in the password arrgggghhhh!!!
You can try to install custom recovery and then mount it to your pc if the display is not broken or you can look at the picture could be risky cause you maybwipe all data. Or you need to replace digitizer and the display

At least I now have a spare battery for mine.

I have a Xolo Q700 and I broke it. The screen is cracked and I can't type my password.
By default, USB Charging mode is on ... so no use connecting it to my pc. I also tried rebooting but the USB charge stays default.
How do I control my phone now coz the OS is working fine. I cannot login.
All my data is in phone memory. How do I atleast get that data ?

Hi guys. My LG G5 just stopped working few days ago. When i turn it on the half of the screen is black. I went to the nearest service and they said they cant fix it.
The problem is that I have some photos in internal storage and I would like to transfer them . Does anyone know any way to transfer photos?
P.S. Do you have any idea is it motherboard or display ?

Hi
Lgg4 and lgg5 have haf significant issues with display screen...half snowy other side fine or half black etc. Its a known issue.
With out display interface Im not certain if usb file transfer will work to your pc but try it. If you can access phone storage through pc perhaps you have a chance.
Im heding the screen may not display all but when you hook your power cord between phone and pc an automatic prompt will rise on your phone. Usually it defaults to charging only selection. Hit screen half way down even though it cant fully be seen to hopefully activate file transfer mode. Its possible touch works on svreen side displaying.
Or if ur lucky itll be default.
Worth a try.
I am guessing you dont have cloud storage and you didnt back up photos to scard so usb link is perhaps your only shot.
Good luck.
have you tried with adb pull command ?
