I don't know what i'm doing wrong, but I can't seem to transfer files to my device for any extended period. I don't know what does it, but at some point, the connection always fails. Windows says the device isn't responding and closes the explorer window or stops copying files, but the device itself says everything is fine.
What am I doing wrong?
You may just need to download some Windows drivers:

All you really need is the small USB driver (8 MB). I think that the Global button would be the easiest download. There is also the PC Suite, that includes the USB driver, but not sure you want all of the extra stuff included in that.

It's installed, but the problem is still presenting.
Well, what are some of the details? What type of files are you transferring? What folder are you copying them into?
Try creating a new folder on your Prime and copying into that folder to see if it makes any difference. Some users have been experiencing issues with the Music and Movie folders. If that is the case for you, try copying into the different folder. If that works, you'll probably just want to delete the old (bad) folder and rename the new one to the old name. Make sure you copy any items out of the old folder before deleting it.

No, that doesn't help either. Any kind of file. ebooks, movies, sideloaded apps, it seems to be completely random, just sometime, out of nowhere, "File cannot be copied, device is not responding, skip or quit?" and sometimes if it's multiple files and I skip the one that DIDN'T work, it keeps going like nothing's wrong.
I did neglect to ask you what version of Windows you are using. But, I'm really not sure there is anything that can be done anyway. I assume you have MTP checked on your Prime settings or you would not even be able to see the Prime on your Windows machine. Anyway, I'm at a loss at this point.
Do you want a workaround that will work with a wi-fi connection?
1) Download Airdroid from the Market to your Prime -- it's free.
2) Run Airdroid on your Prime.
3) You will be given an http address like http://192.168.1.1:8888 and a password.
4) Enter the http address into your internet browser on your PC and enter the password when asked.
5) Click on the Files icon on the web page that shows up on your PC.
6) You will see your Prime's file structure on the left side of the page -- click on the folder that you want to move the files to.
7) Then click on the Import button ... upper right.
8) An new window will appear for importing. Click the Select Files button and any file you select in the browse window will appear in the list and automatically be sent to your Prime.
This is just one of the many things that Airdroid can do.
I have done this many times and find it quite easy and reasonably fast -- not as fast as your wired connection would have been, but at least you can do this.
Yes Your only options at this point is a slow wifi transfer or buy an sdcard to copy files to then transfer in the device it self. This seems very acceptable to some people.
MTP is garbage and has never worked well for me either.
I think this is an android hc/ics problem though.
Maybe once/if we start getting costum roms we will see a usb mass storage option. We will just have to wait for the unlock tool.
Might these filenames contain special characters?
Also, the MTP driver seems to have a hiccup sometimes, check your device manager (Win+R "dvcmgmt.msc"). If there's a little warning at the MTP device, mark it and hit delete or open it and hit Driver Details/Update driver.
Sometimes the queueing of files is also out of sync with the actual transfer to the device. I've had it happen that I wanted to copy a bunch of files, and the device must have reported "tranfer complete" on the first file while it was actually still busy, resulting in a "device busy" error on the next file. When I copied the next file by itself, it worked fine.
MTP is slower than regular USB mass storage because it is designed for hot (un-)plugging, so no delayed writes.
Conect your TFP to your PC once with USB debugging checked and once without being checked. See if drivers DL or update.... Check devise manager to see if drivers are installed if yes reboot computer... Some PCs will not recognize devices without rebooting. Next try a different USB hub and repeat something will work

I've noticed that when you change the file name sometimes it works. On my galaxy nexus I have the same problem. But I would transfer files it wouldn't work and then I change the file name and it would work
Lots of good suggestions here that you can try...
However, one more possible work-around that worked for my Ubuntu machine (where MTP is not working, either), in case nothing else works:
I switched to PTP (camera) on my TFP. I could copy just fine. However, this means two steps (a copy then move), because with PTP, I can only copy to the DCIM or Pictures folder.
Well PTP is faster. But it still tells me my camera wont play the file...

Thanks for that idea. I was going to try that when I got some time but wasn't sure how it would handle it. I can handle just having to movie it to a diff folder once I get it on the prime.
Like the other poster said, can't wait to get a custom rom on this thing.
I ran into this annoying problem yesterday too. At first I thought it was an issue with the drivers on my Windows 7 box, so I went over to my Debian box and installed MTPFS, but no dice. The exact same thing happens - the computer is able to initialize the connection at first, and if you're quick enough you might even be able to copy/delete/move something, but after maybe 30 seconds or so the connection fails - transfers stop, renaming hangs etc. This was the exact same thing that happened on Windows 7 and so I must conclude it must be the TFP itself having issues with MTP. Running ICS IML74K.
MTP works but the date of all files and folders is wrong

MTP works for me (Ubuntu 11.10). But I have found out, that once the internal storage is mounted in Ubuntu, the date of all files and folders are set to 1970-01-01.
Actually before, short after I had activated the Prime, I realised that the date was also wrong. I'm not sure now, but probably the same 1970-01-01. Then I adjusted the date and the upgrade to ICS went flawlessly.
Now I start thinking that this wrong date could be one of the reasons for many problems in TF Prime.
Does anybody have the same problem and know a solution?
I read in another forum when i was trying to get mtp to work on my nexus s that if you install media player 10 it can solve the issue of mtp not working in windows xp. Not sure if this applies to windows 7 though as i thought windows 7 was supposed to be able to use mtp out of the box.

On my Galaxy S2 MTP works like a charm, so it's not MTP in general. Maybe it's a bad USB cable, connector probs or Windows acts up.
It's May, and MTP is still garbage.
Anyone else having a problem with tablet not showing up on computer after ICS. Updated the tablet with Allinone version 4 without any problem but now i need to shift some pictures onto the computer. When i plug in the tablet nothing happens on either the pc or the tablet. Ive used 2 different cables and used 2 different computers but nothing shows up. Debug is on. As far as im aware this has only happened after the ICS rooted update.
I thought that by transferring the pictures over to the sd card would at least sort that out but now i read and tried that external card is being read as "read only". So cant transfer the pictures to sd card and computer not recognising the tablet, now what?
Any advise?

Your computer not recognizing your tablet sounds like an ADB driver problem, so you may have to reinstall the drivers. Condi's AIO Tweaks and Mods submenu items 12 and 11 will solve your problems with sdcard and sdcard2 write permissions and USB Mass Storage support so your computer can access your tablet's memory. Searching the forum about these problems will provide you with additional information on how to deal with them as they have been discussed several times.
Thanks for the reply. Its been so long since i initially setup the tablet. Correct me if I am wrong but when the tablet is connected to the computer the tablet should show up as sony s tablet, is that when the drivers need to be installed. Ive a shocking memory. Im starting to panic as ive documents that I have done in collage. Without the sd card transfering data to extenal in knackered.
So, if I plug the tablet in and NOTHING shows up either on tablet or pc, does that mean that the drivers need to be reinstalled?

Reinstalling the drivers is what other people have had to do to solve the problem you seem to have. For example, read this thread: ADB Issues after ICS update?
Thanks for your time and effort. I have seen this post when i was searchings for answers. Problem is that NOTHING happens when i plug the sony into the computer. Tablet does not acknowledge that debugging is available through the usb even though it is ticked on the tablet. The computer shows nothing either as the tablet has not got into communicating through usb. So to uninstall the drivers will be impossible until the pc recognises the tablet.

The computer is probably not recognizing or listing the tablet because the device drivers are borked. In Microsoft Windows, you can uninstall unlisted (unrecognized) devices by going into Device Manager, selecting "View" from the standard menu, selecting "Show hidden devices" (which should cause unlisted/unrecognized device names to be listed), then right-clicking on the device's name and selecting "Uninstall". After uninstalling the device, select "Action" from the standard menu, then select "Scan for hardware changes" to cause the computer to detect the tablet and prompt you to install the device drivers.
Hey there,
Here is a list of what I have before I get started.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Wifi (P7510)
Android Version - 3.2
Kernel Version - [email protected]#1
Build Number - INFAMOUS TAB 0.1 P7510UEKMM
Basically I have no access to my tablets internal SD card via my PC (Windows 7 and KIES)
I bought this tablet from a friend who rooted and flashed with the INFAMOUS mod.
I have searched all over the web for an answer and cant find something for this case specifically.
Each time I plug in my tab, my PC tells me that the Hardware ID is missing.
I can see the tablet in my Devices and Printers (displayed as SAMSUNG_android) as well as in my Device Manager. In device manager it says the drivers are up to date and functioning.
What have I tried?
USB Debugging (On and Off)
Clearing cache via recovery mode
Updating drivers via W7 and KIES via Samsung
I have tried following a few threads on installing the KIES software without internet connectivity. However I would rather not use the KIES Software anyway as it is kind of garbage.
I am looking to have access to the internal SD card so I can flash a new Rom on the Tab, however I would first like to even just have access to the file transferring.
Can anyone point me in the direction of help and me being able to enjoy this tablet?
I hope I have provided enough information. I am a pretty techy person and I understand how to do all of this but it seems like I am missing something really big.
Something to take note of, whenever the tab is plugged in (PC or Wall) there is a red x over the battery symbol and the tab charges very slowly.
Cheers
B

The Galaxy Tab doesn't expose the internal "sdcard" as a device that you can mount on your PC. If you enable it, it shows up as a MTD device.
The sdcard partition is formatted using a Linux native filesystem, not FAT, so Windows can't recognize it.
I use adb to push files onto the sdcard. ADB comes with the android SDK.

As stated, make sure you have your tablet in MTP, and if so, make sure to update your drivers.
Settings > Storage > Additional Settings (top right) > MTP
To build on the above, if you have uninstalled Kies but also the Samsung USB drivers, you will be unable to connect the tab. Reinstall (or maybe uninstall and reinstall if you still have them) the drivers. A lot of the times that is the issue.
Go to Settings>Storage>Options/Info (The one on the upper right)>MTP(Check this one)
hope this help
FIXED

Ahhh ha! As soon as I uninstalled the driver that windows found and used the Google Driver that came along with the Android SDK, the tablet was recognized. Alas, I can finally use this tablet.
In the end it was as simple as a driver error, I spent a very long time searching last night and now I just feel silly.
The tablet still shows the red X over the battery symbol, whether I have MTP with USB Debugging on or off. I guess this can be avoided with certain ROMS. Anybody know of a ROM that avoids this?
Thank you all for your immediate responses!

By the way you two, there is no option in 3.2 for this.
In 3.2 its Applications/Development/USB Debugging
In storage there is no option to choose MTP, it seems that it always has been enabled and I cant find it anywhere in the settings to change it.
Thanks for the input though

For honeycomb and many others, debugging is always there. Under the storage option, you have an Additional Settings button usually and it should be present in there. I was always running3.2 until like a couple days ago so surprised its not there. Oh well problem solved lol
I'm having a similar problem with my tab not being recognised by my pc (win7 64) or in kies. It was originally an M380W (Korean) model, which I updated to a P7510. That all went fine, and the tablet works perfectly, except for the fact that my pc no longer sees it when it's plugged in. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers, but no dice. I'm going to see if adb works.
Anyone using CM10.1 managed to use DriveDroid? I'm trying to boot Ubuntu but Windows just say that I need to format the driver, I don't know if it's a CM related, MTP or my issue :cyclops:

Don't look at what Windows thinks of the disk. Windows doesn't recognize the structure of the disk, so it suggests to format it.
What does matter is whether your bios recognizes the disk as bootable. The structure of the disk is usually not the problem if you downloaded the image from DriveDroid: it is the same as anyone else downloading the image. If booting from your phone does not work it usually has something to do with timing/the software on your phone (ROM/kernel). If you indeed can't boot from your phone, I'd suggest to do the following:
Go to preferences of DriveDroid.
Turn off UMS and turn it back on again.
Reboot your phone.
See whether that helps. It worked for some people, but it doesn't have a 100% successrate.

Same here. Really disappointing it doesn't work. I can't tell you how often I thought about boot an image from my phone. In fact, I think I posted the question on XDA a few years ago.
Hey guys, developer here. A few things that might help:
The ISOs that are in DriveDroids downloadlist are all hybrid. This means they are specially crafted to be compatible with USB as well as CD. This is great, because at the moment Android devices only correctly emulate USB drives.
When selecting such an image, Windows will show it as an USB disk. However, Windows does not recognize the format that is used on the disk, because it's hybrid. Therefore Windows suggests to format the disk with a filesystem that Windows recognizes (FAT or NTFS). Do not do this, it'll just blank out the image, which isn't what you want.
Bioses however should be able to recognize the USB disk as a bootable one.
The USB-disk emulation is what in Android is called UMS (USB Mass Storage). On oldish devices this was used to share the SDcard with the PC. DriveDroid uses the same mechanism, but not on the SDcard, but on files (ISO/IMG). Downside is that this mode isn't by default enabled on modern devices, so you usually have to switch from MTP (the system in use to share SDcard in modern devices) to UMS. Such an option is available in DriveDroids menu. However on some devices this switch does not work correctly atm. I have no idea why, but from others I have heard that you can make the option work on these devices. You'll have to rapidly switch the UMS option on and off and end with UMS being on. It *should* popup on your PC when you have a USB cable plugged in. For others it helped to reboot the phone too, but I'm not too sure why this works.
Hopefully that helps solve the problems.

Funny you suggested this. Last night while trying to make it work (thinking the image didn't download correctly the first time), I did the same thing.

Oh were you also one of the people who send me a support email about this by any chance? I learned about this from those.
In any case, good to hear another confirmation on the method. It's weird, since I'm not too sure why this works yet (it just enables and disables UMS on my device), but I'll put something in the next version to emulate the same behavior.

Hi,
MTP and PTP are full of problems... so I want to have the old reliable USB Massive Storage (UMS) enabled in this phone, Is there any ROM with this feature?
I'm with stock and I would prefer not to unlock the boot loader unless I can get that feature with a ROM.
I tried this app with no success
I want any PC to detect my phone as a USB flashdrive containing only the sdcard files, not any partitions like system or data or such.
thanks

Nope. UMS is dead as far as Google is concerned.
what do you mean by that? I know some ICS ROMs with UMS (but for other phones) so it's no dead dead dead and doing a quick search there are some people using ums un Jelly bean
What I mean is, UMS support isn't the way google wants people to do things.
It's a kludge when google wants phone memory not be segmented for apps vs media and such.
I've found MTP works very well on this phone compared to others i've owned.
It's a partitioning issue on any phone that comes with ICS natively.
mmm may be I wasn't clear about that, sorry,
I only want any PC to detect my phone as a USB flashdrive containing only the sdcard files, not any partitions like system or data or such.
And we are saying it isn't going to happen. What trouble are you having with mtp? Maybe we can help.
Ok, thanks, my problem is the following
I have 3 windows machines and in all of them the following happened
> I connected the LGOG to the pc and selected the pc software option in the phone
> Installed the LG software
> The LG software Drive disappeared from "Computer" (as expected I suppose)
> The phone-drive never showed in Computer
> I unplugged the phone and plugged again and selected MTP
> The phone-drive never showed in Computer either
In one of the PCs I got an error while installing the MTP driver, don't know how to solve that, if I try to reinstall the LG software the LG software driver disappears
Also I can't copy files to my phone if I don´t have Administrative access to the PC... that's main the reason I want UMS
Uh oh.
So, if I understand correctly, I'm going to need to install CM in order to use my phone as a thumbdrive.
While I have no problems using MTP, the INSANELY SLOW TRANSFERS are basically going to force me to find another solution.
Great phone, but 2MB/sec on a standard USB 2.0 port just isn't working.
More research, it appears that I'll need to install an FTP server on my phone, or use a wireless data sharing app (sadly not possible in my case as my wireless network is firewall-external to my wired one).
