There is a strange problem since I bought my gs3.. It never recognized MTP. whenever i connect phone to pc via the usb provided with the box, it only displays charging but not any usb detection, even my pc won't connect any device, as if nothing is connected. My pc recognize it in download mode. But as soon as the rom boots up the usb connection no longer exist and hence no selection menu in notification bar comes. Currently running paranoid android 3.10
I want to transfer big files to my sd card but can't and every time i have to eject sd card connect to another phone and then transfer files.
Please help.
Use airdroid, No need for a usb connection

airdroid works well, but i prefer using FTP using es file manager app and filezilla on the pc.

Is there anyway to get the X10mini pro to show up in windows as a standard USB mass storage device, like my camera or MP3 player? I want to be able to simply copy files over to the phone without using Sony’s software etc. Is there an app I can download for this?
when i connne it shows up as long as there is a memory card not sure if need to select mount usb on the phone menu , if you want the phone memory im not sure its possible to view but as its not that big i guess ur just looking for the memory card
how do you select mount usb on the phone menu? I am still unable to connect this phone as a usb mass storage device and upload files to the card without the Sony Software

When you plug in the USB cable from the PC to the phone, are you greeted with this menu (see attached image)
Thanks I am familiar with that screen, however I can't get the phone to be treated as a USB mass storage device. I just want to be able to browse the memory card like on an MP3 player, camera etc without having to use the Sony software. Is there anyway I can do this natively in windows or linux?

When that screen pops up, just select "Connect my phone", and it'll mount it in mass storage mode. Works perfectly fine for me on PCs without the software installed. Haven't tried it on linux, but it works on my car's stereo that plays mp3s off a connected usb device, so I can't see why it wouldn't
My phone works like that but only with the phone drivers installed. I treid this before I installed the phone drivers but windows just said the drive was unreadable. Also you can't browse the entire directory structure.
Very odd. My Windows XP SP2 has no drivers in it for the phone but manages to read the memory card
Works fine here as regular usb mass storage in Mac OS X.

Ive just suddenly had a brainwave: asking for drivers? That to me sounds like its in USB debugging mode. Switch that off and it should be ok
I am running CM10 unoffficially 08072012. Win 7, 32 bit
Recently I can't copy files to my Vibrant (both internal and external SD). When I copied, the PC alert :
Copying
Discovering items.....
Time remain : Calculating
Data Transfer : Calculating
And It's not responding. I have tried to format internal SD but it didn't help. I also tried used odin to flash to stock, but Odin didn't recognize USB port.
What I Should do now? :crying:
Have you tried using a different USB cable/different USB port?
If so, do you have a friend with a computer that would let you try it on theirs? Just to rule out some factors that would be helpful.

first connect USB to computer then open Odin and after opening Odin connect to ur mobile .......if this doesn't work then first connect to mobile and then to computer .......if both are not working then change different USB ports and see ........btw I hope u have original Samsung USB cable
It worked. Thx you so much
I'm trying to drag the files to the phone, but it won't transfer for some reason. I never had this problem before. I also own an s3 and it does the same thing. I downloaded the usb drivers too, still won't work.
What rom are you on? Try using airdroid.
You are using windows 7 file explorer?
Once you connect your phone did you select USB transfer? Or MTP?
Make sure its mounted as a mass storage device

You don't need to mount these phones as mass storage. You should be able to drag and drop using windows explorer in the default MTP mode.
@ptrle..... Were you ever able to drag and drop on the Note or your S3? Can you see your phone and internal sd card with windows explorer? Have you tried rebooting your phones and pc right before trying to transfer? Maybe a bad cable or try a different USB port. Don't go through a USB hub. Try installing the newest Samsung Kies to get the most updated drivers.
I have 4 computers and only one did I install samsung kies and the other 3 work in MTP mode without manually installing any drivers.
I ran into an odd issue..
In MTP the phone moved a season of Walking Dead in 2.5 minutes, as mass storage it said it would take 45 minutes..
So MTP transfers faster from my laptop to phone, but my ps3 says its "An unknown device" in MTP mode, so I have to switch to Mass Storage and all is well..
Probably won't help, but perhaps a route to investigate

I have a Galaxy Tab SPH-P100 that I'm looking to root and update to Jelly Bean. The problem is, USB Debugging doesn't seem to work properly. I've tried connecting the Tab to my desktop and my laptop (both running Vista) and neither computer will recognize it. I've tried with USB Debugging enabled and disabled, with Micro SD mounted and unmounted. The only thing the computer recognizes is the Micro SD. The computer will actually assign a letter and it shows up as removable disk and the battery will charge, but that's it. I've run SuperOneClick and it just stops after step 5. I tried Odin and when you click on PDA, PHONE, or CSA, the only option I get is a Samsung folder leading to Kies. What am I doing wrong? The directions sound so simple.
when I plug in my I717 via USB in my desktop, windows sees it as Samsung Android device, but when I go into windows explorer, there's nothing to see (the usb or sd storage isnt listed at all) and I do have mtp usb storage activated on the phone and usb debug. I am running gingerbread touchwiz rom. I can see the phone and transfer files wirelessly with ES file explorer, but I cant access the sd card or the phones internal storage through usb windows explorer connection even though device management shows Samsung android device. Windows Device manager shows the phone with no yellow flags. anyone had this happen and found solution to share? thanks
You can try rebooting the computer, using different usb ports, using a different cable. I don't know if this works on gingerbread but I have used it on jellybean roms before when I've had trouble connecting... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.zatta.USB_switch
Just thought of one other thing. You didn't say anything about Windows loading the device drivers so I gotta ask if you have installed the Samsung drivers?

yep..have samsung drivers. also, about the app you linked above, I'd like to try it out but google play says its not compatible with my device (probably because I'm still on gingerbread). anywhere else I can download the apk and try manual install?
I think your problem is that you are connecting via MTP (media transfer protocol). You need to connect via USB mass storage. With your Note not connected to your PC, go into Settings, under Wireless and network look for USB utilities. Follow the phone's instructions for connecting to USB storage to your PC. Wait for the Windows autostart to read the phone storage. (My PC is XP and takes a minute or so.) Then you should see two new drives show on Windows Explorer. One is phone internal storage and the other is the phone's external SD card. Hope this works for you. Good luck!
I believe sonebwood is on the right track on this. I remember when the Note first came out I had to change something to get windows to see the drives. Is there any particular reason you keep the phone on gingerbread? ICS was a lot better and you can update to JB through Kies.
