[Q] HOX+ Connect to TV via USB or WiFi - HTC One X+

Hi, Before when I had my Desire HD, connected the phone via USB to TV, and could see the contents, also appeared a message asking me if I wanted to charge only, and now with the HOX+ the TV does not recognize any device, only charge
How I can play the contents of the phone on the TV via USB?
Thanks..

Charging only, because sdcard is not mounted as usb drive anymore, we have mtp device. If you are rooted you can try viper virtual sd card app

Viper VirtualSD
Hi!
I flash Viper 1.6 on my HOX+ and try to use VirtualSD feature.
MTP is a terrible system, I try to use, but this failed a lot of times, copy large archives is impossible with MTP. And I lost the possibility of use my device like a USB drive to connect on TV, Radio, Decoder etc.
VirtualSD really works to create a virtual SD, my windows recognized this, and I able to copy files direct with windows explorer.
But, continues with errors. I try to copy a ISO file 2.3 Gb, and copy stops every time I tried.
I copied a file 600 Mb AVI with sucess, but when I try to view this archive on my digital decoder of Tv, the device is not recognized.
Someone have sucess on copy large files or play media files with VirtualSD in other devices than nothing a PC?
Sorry my poor english!

Go to an online shopping site (ebay preferably) and search for the mhl micro usb. Get the one that suites your liking. I got the red one meant for Samsung. Replicates screen on to tv.

[Q] Problems transferring music and photos

I'm having the following two problems transferring music and photos, and was wondering if they are known issues with or without workarounds.
1. When I plug the phone into the PC and try to get at photos, I can't see any thumbnails--just generic JPEG icons.
2. Transferring mp3s and photos often just plain fails. I've tried rebooting phone and PC, unplugging and replugging...but it happens seemingly for no reason. As in, I'll successfully transfer one photo or mp3 to the phone fine, and try another one immediately after without changing anything and it'll hang for minutes before declaring itself a failure.
Any help?
MTP
What OS are you running on your PC? If it is Windows XP, then try to install Windows Media Player 11 and run windows update as well.
Galaxy S III does not support USB Mass Storage like older Android phones but rather uses MTP/PTP as the file transfer modes which are only supported out of the box in Windows Vista or later. For Mac OS X, you'd also need to download MTP client.

I'm running Windows 7.
The problem is not that the PC can't handle MTP mode at all. The problem is that it is inconsistent. One album of mp3s will transfer just fine and 30 seconds later a single mp3 won't move at all. And the fact that I can't see image thumbnails (only generic image-file icons) is a real headache.
Obviously one day I'll be rooting and installing CM or something else, but I'd like to be as fully functional as possible until then.
Is anyone else having similar problems?
Copy and paste never a problem for me .

[Q] Trouble with MTP

I searched on the web and found some similar problems but not an answer to what is happening to my phone.
My GS3 is running CheckROM v5.5 android 4.1.1 and I cannot connect it succesfully to any computer via USB.
Inicially, after I got CheckROM, it was working, but I don't know what I did that made it stop working.
I've tried to connect it to a PC and a Mac, tried with Kies and without it. On the mac also tried with and without the Android File Transfer.
I tried with USB Debugger on and off, too.
I am almost certain the problem is in the phone, because when I plug it there is no message about choosing MTP or Camera mode, or anything like that, it's just like I am charging it on the wall.
Also, I am able to sync it to Kies with Wi-fi connection on my PC.
What I really want is to be able to transfer music and larger files to the phone via USB.
My phone does not have an external SD card, just internal memory. Is there something I'm missing that can fix this?
Sorry about any english mistakes ;}

[Q] Explore phone SD card through laptop using Bluetooth ?

Is it possible to explore the SD card's contents on Android phone using Bluetooth connection ?
Years back when I had Sony K800, i switched on BT on phone and laptop, and I could see the K800 on the "My Computer" page.
then i could enter and explore and transfer files directly through the windows explorer.
Currently I have HTC Desire S, running Android 2.3.5 and Laptop CQ-45 (Compaq) running Vista.
But I am not able to explore the phone easily.
To transfer file I have to select each file, then start the BT file transfer wizard on laptop, which could either send or receive ONE file at a time.
if I try to send more than one file (pictures, few MBs), then only one gets sent and I have to restart the BT file wizard again to receive another file on the laptop.
I use this just if I need to transfer a few snaps i might have taken with the phone, for larger files (videos) i use the USB cable.
I installed the BT File Transfer app from the Market, but that also does not help.
Any other ways ?
My wifi is not always on, so i cannot use Airdroid or some such way.
Options are BT or USB.
thanks.
anyone ?

[Q] PC with Windows 7 suddenly stops seeing a Samsung S3 from Windows Explorer

I checked the Samsung S3 on several occasions and could see the content of the sdcard0 (internal memory) and the removable SD card from the Windows Explorer on a desktop PC with Windows 7 using USB via the MTP protocol.
I did not download or delete anyting via USB.
I noticed both memories were a bit low on space and a few folders on the external card had files I could not understand, so I searched the Play Store for apps that would let me view details (like file and folder sizes) on the external sdcard. I used these apps to read the sdcard, but did not get any wiser.
I then obtained AirDroid from the Play Store and transferred files from S3 to the PC, but did not delete from or upload anything to the S3. AirDroid worked fine. I decided to use USB to delete S3 files a few days later. Before that I used the the PC for a couple days for reading online newspapers from Firefox, but did not do anything that should have changed the workings of the USB. There were a few Windows 7 updates (initiated at PC logoff) that progressed normally with no warnings about incompatible files etc. A few days later I noticed the USB connect to S3 had stopped working. For example I did not see the Auto-play dialog on the PC and nothing from the S3 showed in the Windows Explorer. I used the the USB data cable that came with the Samsung S3.
However, the the Windows Explorer USB connect still worked for a ZTE Blade III using the USB cable that came with the ZTE on the same PC.
Q1. how do I make Windows Explorer see the S3 again?
Q2. what may have been the cause? (can I download android apps or do something on the Windows 7 PC to help to pin-point the problem).

Q1. how do I make Windows Explorer see the S3 again?
Install Samsung USB drivers
jje
Thanks JJEgan,
What and from where should I download? The S3 USB connect was working for weeks. Could a faulty update from Microsoft have caused this? The S3 is not rooted.
I have downloaded from the Play Store that I assume contains well-behaved programs only, or are there play-store programs that are known to interfere with the USB by design/accident when they run. The PC Windows Explorer USB connect worked with the ZTE Blade 3 mobile after the S3 had gone wrong. If I install Samsung USB drivers is there a risk the ZTE USB connect would go wrong too/instead? I don't know what is required, so I might make the problem worse by downloading the wrong libraries or not doing it the right way.
Is there some program/app I can install on either the PC or Android that would pull in USB libraries and dependencies automatically, a bit like Synaptic package managers in Ubuntu?

[Q] S4 to windows vista file transfer crashes windows explorer

This question has been asked numerous times, but I found no resolution.
I have windows vista 64 bit, Galaxy s4 (SCH1545) running android 4.4.2. I have developer options enabled, and USB debugging is allowed. Phone is currently connected to the USB port as a media device, and in the windows explorer, it shows up as portable media player. I also have SD card installed in the phone where I keep my media files.
I just got my data cable yesterday, so I plugged my S4 into one of the ports in my USB splitter (4 ports). And all hell broke loose. My device wasn't recognized, the drivers weren't installing (cdc serial, samsung_android, the usual suspects).
Then I installed the samsung kies, it shows my device, but the drivers weren't installed still.
Then my windows started updates which failed to install the drivers over 10 times, I think. Then it dawned on me, the errors the updates were showing dealt with the device not being plugged in, and that I was going into the computer through a USB splitter.
So I shuffled my external drives around and freed one of the 2 USB ports on my computer. And I directly connected S4 into the USB, and repeated the windows driver updates, and it recognized the device. I even moved an mp4 file to the phone as a test and it worked fine.
But moving the same MP4 file back from the phone to a folder in windows, crashes the windows explorer. Every time.
Also if I try to launch the MP4 or AVI file that I moved into the SD card, from the folder in the phone, and it also crashes the windows explorer. Every time.
So I tried to launch any kind of media file (MP3 this time) on the phone using the windows, and it crashes the windows explorer every time.
So far the only way to get the file off my phone is to take the SD card out and put it into the windows. This works fine, but it's a hassle which is why I bought a data cable.
tl;dr
If I launch any media files in the phone using windows explorer, windows explorer crashes and restarts. If I try to copy the file from the phone to windows, explorer crashes and restarts, however, I can copy a file from the windows to the phone without explorer crashing.
What is a solution to this?
Maybe all you smart developers can come up with some hack or app or something.
