I've somehow been stuck with this issue for a short while.
I'm running Omega v34 JB 4.1.2 on my Galaxy S3 32GB. Tried both stock and Siyah 1.3 - 1.8 kernals.
Basically, hook my phone up to my computer in Media mode, transfer a file to the phone and the transfer will randomly time out. When it times out, the progress bar will just sit there and not progress at all, i'm constantly having to physically connect/re-connect my phone. This issue has existed since v33 of JB when the test firmware was leaked. I tried flashing back to v31/32 and doing full wipes but the issue still exists. The issue can occur within 10 seconds of transferring the file(s).
This happens when transferring to internal or external storage on the phone
Happens on any computer. Also tried different cables/USB ports/etc
Tried googling and searching this form but it almost appears I may be the only one with this issue...
To get around it i've tried using UMS to mount the ext storage as a USB Mass Storage device.. this works fine. Transferred files in one 30 minute continuous session, everything copied, nothing stopped or timed out.
But either in MTS or Camera mode, transferring data will eventually grind to a halt and I have to keep disconnecting/reconnecting in order to get it to work. It's a pain if I have to transfer multiple files.
Any ideas?
Also, has anyone else had the charging issue? Where the phone seems to charge as per normal via AC but ever since JB came in for the SGS3, the phone either takes an eternity to charge via a USB data port or it very slowly drains.
I can't even transfer data via USB on my device. Maybe try Wi-Fi file transfer or Wi-Fi droid.
I have Charing problem as well, but different. Phone randomly says it's charging when it isn't, and phone won't chare at all of powered off...

I have the same issue with media transfer, It's like someone pulls out the usb cable from either end!
I've given up trying to find a solution to this. I now just use FTP with ES File Manager and filezilla on the laptop. works like a charm

Hey,
I've had my Unlocked HTC Hero for nearly five months now with out any problems (official ROM only). Suddenly I'm having problems with the USB connection. When I plug in the USB cable I don't get any notification on the phone - at all. I don't get the option to select HTC Sync or to mount the SD card for transferring files.
Any ideas? I'd be happy to reflash, but don't have the USB connectivity!
thanks
Ugh - Just did a hard reset which wiped all the data, but did not bring back my usb connectivity. I've also tried multiple USB cables and several computers.
Hmm....
Now, I've got it to connect a couple of times. Using either a hard reset or flash the rom, then download some apps, and then the USB is recognized (but only once).
Might be worth trying a different cable if you can?
Adam
I really don't get this. Every now and then (like 1 in 50 tries) I get the notification to pop up, but most of the time it doesn't. Any one with any ideas?
Same problem here
Hello,
I have the same problem, it started happening after the Android 2.1.-update. Suddenly nothing works, i suspect is an OS problem. If you have any solution please get back on this thread. Cheers!
Did you look at the dates on this? He clearly wasn't using the 2.1 update as it was all the way back in February. I suspect you've broken the connection somehow, either the connection in your phone or in the cable.
Trust me I've searched the problem, many people have reported this in 2.1-update 1. I've tried with several computers both Windows and OS X, different cables ... etc.
i got this problem to! i cant do anything because i cant connect to my computer
I have the same problem, did you find a solution?
OK, I've searched and searched for this issue and can't find the answer to this. My tab was running fine until a few days ago. I was transferring the Ubuntuv5 image to my tablet and I got an error which caused it to fail to transfer the file. Since then, I get "MTP initialisation" and my MTP won't connect unless I leave it overnight. It will connect if left overnight and I can move files around and all that like normal. Odin and adb recognize the tablet right away.
I'm running Task 14, pershoot's kernel.
Odin'd back to stock
uninstalled kies/samsung drivers and reinstalled them
usb debugging is off
tried on two different computers, 3 different usb cords.
I'm at a loss as to what to try next. Any suggestions are appreciated! Thanks!
Edit* Ok, media scanner is the issue. I've been trying to solve this for 3 days straight. Force stopping media storage will connect it immediately. Sorry for the useless post. (I'm kinda good at that).

Even when force stopping media storage, my PC will not detect. When I plug it in now, it acts as if it's only charging
as soon as I read task14, I knew already this was common.
something acts up on that, you may need to remove all drivers and reinstall them again, literally :\
That's the first step I can assume.
Then again, evo you should try out the same too.
So I've been trying all night to transfer a handful of CBR files to my ATP through its USB connection. I'm doing this from my desktop which is running windows 7. (in case any or all of those details might help anyone)
At first, I was trying to transfer with the prime plugged into my keyboard dock with USB debugging enabled. Then I disabled USB debugging. Then I tried, with debugging disabled, when connecting to the tablet directly. Finally I tried connected directly to the tablet, but with USB debugging enabled.
At every step in the process I will get through one folder or so, and then get an error on my desktop that says the device has stopped responding or has disconnected, and the transfer will fail.
With a bit more trial and error it seems to be that any time I interact with the prime in any way while it is transferring (even something as simple as scrolling back and forth a little on the home screen to keep it from going to sleep) it fails.
I'm not rooted, I'm on the standard firmware (.21 - latest as of now), and I've tried restarting the prime.
I can not make these files transfer and it's driving me insane. Anyone have any suggestions or theories on how to fix this?
I was hoping that there would be a response, esplanation, or solution to your post.
I am experiencing the same thing when I try to transfer a Titanium Backup Folder back on to the Tablet, be it to the internal SD Card or the External SD Card.
I've also tried all the options you mention (Debugging ON/OFF, etc.)
Are we the only two people experiencing this?

File transfers
Hi,
I was having the same problems, then gave up and fully charged it,
the next day I adb'd the same blob file and it did it in 5 min, the
night before when it was about a quarter charged it was taking a half
hour and would fail. I had it in CWM recovery. So try fully charging it, I have
also had better luck on a xp machine, then my win7 machine.
I had the same problem on .21 not unlocked nor rooted.
I did full wipe data after upgrading to .21 then connected as MTP and copied files successfully. Hope this help.

not to put you off trying to use usb, i had the same issue transferring 5GB from the prime to PC.
i found using Total Commander 1.0 rc5 for Android with the network addon i could transfer it faster via wireless (only due to the poor performance i had with usb)
so just share the content and drag it across the wifi.
Total commander *www*.*ghisler*.*com/android.htm
Plugins *ghisler*.*com*/androidplugins/
(remove the *, i cant post links yet )
one thing you could try if you haven't is plug it into one of the ports on the back of your computer instead of the front/top/side, sometimes these ports are under powered.
I have this error when i'm trying copy file more than 4Gb to sd card formatted FAT32
might be silly to ask but when you connect did you make sure your on media transfer not the camera one?
This might be the reason. I hate it when this happens when I'm transferring files and I cant change or play with the tablet till its done. Its becoming more of a singletask device. I'm starting to lose faith in Asus tbh.

Hi, everyone. I've seen the other threads and no one had a problem quite like mine.
Yesterday I've upgraded my Alcatel OT-997, ICS 4.0.4. with Kuano's TWRP and now it's:
Alcatel OT-997D, JB 4.1.1. - (details in this thread, 5th post) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1981692&page=89
D means I can now use two SIM cards, which is cool.
The problem is the damn thing doesn't charge when it's turned on. It shows the lightning bolt over the battery icon, but in settings shows that charger is not connected. However, when it's turned off it charges, normally. I tried different settings in USB menu: Mass storage, MTP, Camera mode and Charge. Tried with and without Debugging mode. All of those work when connected to a computer in the sense that I can use internal storage, access both SD cards, and so on. But it doesn't charge.
I have tried 3 different cables, 3 wall outlets, and 2 PCs so it's not that. I suppose it's not a hardware problem otherwise it wouldn't charge properly when it's turned off.
So now I use schedule to turn it off before I go to sleep, and to turn on before I wake up, so it would charge while I'm sleeping. Anyone's got any ideas how to fix it?
Bump
Well I solved it with reinstall
Finally I've lost my patience so I tried the only thing that was left.
First I did a backup with TWRP.
Then, factory reset from TWRP.
Then, restore system from One Touch Upgrade 2.8.0 - lost the DUAL capability, software restored to 4.0.4.
Now comes the interesting part. It had the same problem as before, did not charge while on. So I tried a solution I found online a while ago but I never tried when on 4.1.1: Turn it off, connect charger, remove battery, wait a bit, press power button for approx 10 sec (nothing hapens), wait a bit, instert battery, turn it on and there it is. I'm not sure if it was this procedure that did the trick or it simply needed a reboot after update but it worked. It showed "charging" in battery stats.
Finally, restore with TWRP as Kuano explained in his post. Mind you, when I did the restore it was connected to my PC all the time.
Now two things I you should know:
First, before I did all this I connected it to my PC while turned off i.e. (PC - ON, phone - OFF). I noticed this: it was constantly connecting and disconnecting (the "piano chord" notification was coming from the computer speakers every 5 sec) like I was pulling the cable in and out. That is all I know about this, I didn't have the nerves to work on it.
Second, now that it is restored and charging, when I connected it to PC it couldn't change USB setting from Charge to MTP. It reported an error something like "service stopped". This happened only once and I did not try to do it again, I just don't have the energy for any more problem fixing right now. It charges, and I use airdroid for file transfer, that is all I need for now. If and when I get around to take a look at it I'll post here if there's something interesting.
Hi,
I'm having an issue getting my files off my Galaxy S9+... it has some weird storage problems.
I cannot move or modify any pictures (or anything) on the SD card. It works fine in Windows.
I plugged in a USB flash drive, it doesn't recognize it. It recognized the same USB drive just fine a few months ago.
I plugged in my phone to my desktop via USB, it only says charging, no option for storage. I enabled developer options and selected USB debugging, but it still isn't working.
I reinstalled the samsung galaxy s9+ driver twice.
I installed Smart Switch from Samsung. This all worked a few months ago, same cables, same Windows computer, same drivers (before I updated today).
I plugged it into my Macbook, which I have done a few months ago, with the same cables, and it isn't making a connection.
My phone is on the home screen, past the lock screen.
I reset the Media Storage and External Storage system applications. Cleared data, force stopped, restarted phone.
I booted my phone into safe mode.
Any ideas on how to get my pictures off this phone? I'd hate to put everything onto cloud storage, it would take weeks with the wifi at my apartment.

If your usb c is not working how are you charging the phone? If your using wireless charging, you might consider taking it to a shop, let them check it out and replace if necessary.. Other than that, the cloud is you only answer.
Try a new usb cable.
Put phone on charge and Bluetooth (or WiFi) the photos over to a pc, however long it takes.
Try a new sd card to transfer the photos to (what do you mean it works fine in Windows ?, the phones sd card socket or system is faulty ?)
Email the important photos to yourself before they're gone forever.
In the future do regular backups !
It's possible the data connections in the USB port are damaged and the power connections are still good. I use wireless charging to reduce wear on the USB port.
I use an app called CX File Explorer to transfer files to and from PC SMB shares. Files can be moved or copied using cut/copy and paste. A share must be available on the target PC. There may be some public shares already visible or they can be created. It uses wifi but is not limited by internet upload speeds so it should be faster than cloud storage provided the wifi signal from the router is good.
Thank you everybody for responding.
I ended up inserting the micro SD card into windows and "repairing" it with the standard windows tool which asks to scan and repair the drive for errors. I was then able to transfer files from the phone's internal storage to the micro SD card. I'm not sure why this suddenly worked, because the same exact strategy did not work when I tried it earlier.
Photos are safe. Thank you again to everybody who offered ideas.
