Android File Transfer and Mac - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I finally got my "2007" macbook pro to recognize my samsung S3 as a disk drive. Anyways, now i'm facing a slight issue, when AFT loads it kills my other USB ports. for example if i have my mouse plugged in, my mouse will stop working. I'll have to unplug and plug it back in, sometimes i have to do that 2 -3 times. The other day my keyboard and touchpad stopped working, which forced a reboot. Anyone else faced issues like this? and is there a fix?
running OSX 10.6.8

Help USB problem

Just got a Galaxy S3 a few days ago, everything was going fine. Transferring music to my phone from my MacBook Pro using Android File Transfer. Half way through the app stops transferring and I have to force quit on my laptop. Now when I reattach my usb cable I get the following message: "No Android device found Please connect your Android device with a USB cable to get started" My cable is connected, my phone is charging, but the phone is not showing that it is connected (no usb in notifications, can't choose between MTP/PTP...) So I can't continue to transfer my music I restarted both my MacBook Pro and phone. I tried to see if its my phone by connecting to my dock in my car and everything works fine, my Car Home Ultra app opens and works fine. HELP please. How can I get my phone to recognize my cpu via USB? It was working fine, but now nothing other than charging. I read on another thread too toggle USB debugging in developer options, tried both to no avail. Help please, I am an Android noob.

[Q] Transformer Prime TF201 JB crashes with USB Mouse

My Jelly Bean upgrade fixed most of the weird quirky issues I was having on ICS (tearing/jumping screens, strange lagginess) --but introduced one new bug that I found -- I am curious if anyone else is having this problem:
When I attach a USB mouse to the keyboard, after about 10 minutes or so, the tablet will lockup, and then reboot itself. Now, I've only tried two different kinds of wireless mice that have a USB dongle -- haven't had a chance to test with a straight USB mouse -- has anyone else had any issues with USB, in particular crashing after devices are attached? I've tested this consistently now -- I've had no reboots and been rock solid up until I plug in a USB mouse and then anytime from 5 minutes to 15 minutes or so later, it'll crash and reboot.

Hi, I have the same issue : when a mouse is plugged, just after the tablet goes on hold (en veille), it reboot itself.
I've tried with 3 differents mice, still the same issue.
When no mouse is plugged, everything is all right.
Hope an update will fix this soon.
No prob here!

[Q] USB digital camera not being found on ASUS HD7 ME173X tablet.

I don't know if anybody can help me with this problem but I'd appreciate if anybody could, as I have 2 Asus HD7 Memopad (ME173x) tablets running identical to each other, same settings, same software, etc. I have a powered hub in an OTG cable connected to one of my tablets. When I hookup my Canon point and shoot digital camera to the hub, one of the tablets sees it acknowledges it pops up a window saying what program should I use for this USB device either Asus Gallery or the Asus studio or the Google camera importer, and everything works fine.
I unplugged the OTG cable from that tablet and plug it into my other tablet and I get nothing what so ever, nothing pops up. but I know its not a problem with the USB port on that second tablet because when I plug in a flash drive into it and load up the OTG helper I can see the flash drive with no problem using ES file manager. I just can't seem to get the camera to read on that tablet.
so I plug the OTG cable back into the other tablet and boom it pops up the pop up again and it works. I compared settings on both tablets and they're all the same settings identical. I don't remember what I did if I did anything to the first tablet to make it work.I think I just plugged it in and it worked.
I appreciate any help somebody can give me to figure out why the second tablet is doing this? If I have a setting that I need to do I like to know what it is or maybe I forgot a step that I did on the first one I can't remember thank you for your help I appreciate it.

Problem solved, problem solved! I solved the problem, problem solved! haha
I ran the app called USB host diagnostics on the the second tablet that was giving me the problem. It fixed the problem I then looked at the first tablet as I seen the program looked familiar. It was already installed on the first tablet and I remember running it before and well as you know both tablets are working.

Keyboard and mouse stop working after connecting phone

I have a PC running Windows 8.1 and every time I connect an android device in MTP mode the keyboard and mouse on the computer stop working.
Their lights turn off as if they aren't even connected however the work fine in the BIOS. The only way to fix this is to do a system restore.
It seems that the USB drivers get bugged, how can I prevent this?

Problems with OTG connected USB devices

Ok, so has anyone else had problems with this..
when you plug in an OTG connected usb device (i have the same problem with usb drives and midi controllers so far) and in the notification bar pull down it will say charging usb device, and when you choose to switch it to something else, like transfer files or connect a midi device, it just goes right back to charging the device after changing it for a few seconds or until you tap the screen or check it again.
This has completely stopped me from being able to connect a midi device, and causes the usb drives to get hot, although I can still transfer files in an 3rd party file manager, but the notification bar will never stay in tranfer mode, and it has never gone into midi mode at all.
This is not an issue with my OTG adapter, as I also have the same problems with borrowed adapters, as well as using DEX. In fact in dex, if I plug in a usb drive and switch to transfer files mode it will crash. Has anyone else experienced these problems? Are any of these apps for OTG management in the play store useful for this? They seem to be useless based on the reviews except for testing a UTG adapter. Thanks!
btw I don't have root, my note 8 is fully updated to BQLA version.
Hi, check the battery! If internal resistance goes up so does noise.
Check the cable and connector on the phone as well.
