Im very new to samsung (coming from HTC DNA) so please excuse me if this is a dumb question, but, is there a special way to transfer files from my pc to phone through usb? Unbelievably, I cant get it to work. I've been resorting to using my sdcard adapter and the process is mildly frustrating. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Unfortunately I cannot get it to work either. Since my first flash I started getting "missing hardware id' but it would work..... Then it worked less abs less. And now I cannot connect via usb to transfer files T all.... So I gave up.
Some alternatives.
AIRDROID: let's you edit/ upload/ download and change files including system files over your personal wifi network... I use this.
Or an Otg cBle and a flash drive
Or the annoying micro sd adapter.
From what I've read I think the only way to fix my problem is for me to flash back to stock I'm not sure if you have the same problem as me or not

Thats funny, ive been using the usb from my 'ol rezound, so I tried using my samsung one and now I can drag and drop but after only about ten to fifteen seconds windows stops and a window pops up saying that the files cant be copied either because the device is busy or it has been unplugged. :/ I tried disabling usb debugging and my pc fails to install the driver software, maybe this is my problem? Also in usb settings its set to connect as a camera, but when I switch to mtp it switches back on its own (propably because of my driver issue?)
From my Note2
fixed itself??
i just had an update with the rom i was running (scott's cleanROM ACE 4.6.1-now updated to 4.7) im not sure if it was the factory reset that did it or if it was the rom itself, but it's working just fine now...
Do you have any experience in cmd line(windows) or terminal(mac). I know I have had issues getting my phone to mount as a disk drive for easy drag and drop file transfer. I decided to bypass that and get adb tools set up correctly. With that you can transfer files from cmd prompt or terminal using the adb push command.

When I connected my tab to the computer using usb cable, it popped up with MTP and the tab shows in the windows explorer.
But after I push the home button and quit the MTP mode, how can I bring MTP mode back without plug in/out the usb case? Is there any shortcut? Thanks.
How can I share files between tab and computer without using the usb cable?
My computer don't have bluetooth and I don't prefer wifi ad hoc p2p connect.
I feel a bit regret to buy the tab as not to have the sd card slot is really inconvenient. I cannot move the pic in the camera to the tab easily.

Get websharing app from market to copy files without using cables. Trial version lets you copy 1 file at a time. Paid version lets you copy multiple files at once.
Also, regretting about anything is just waste, search and you will find answers to all your questions in abundance, that has most and all the solutions.

Thanks. I will try it.
I searched for MTP and could not find an answer.
Just got another question: How can I reduce the volumn of the feedback "ding" when pressing the menu?

anyone got a shortcut to start mtp without taking cable out and in?
I can't get MTP back at all, I tried to do a factory reset and uninstall lord but nothing works.
Also tried using the "kies saver"from Samsung apps but it wouldn't work either.
Can someone please help me

You mean you are not able to see the tab in the computer after connecting it or the MTP screen is not displayed on the tab?
FYI :
After the latest update MTP screen is shown only when some file operations are going on. Not always when the it is connected to the computer as earlier.

Turn USB Debugging off. I have the Galaxy S 2 on Sprint and it has a terrible habit of turning it on by itself, which disables MTP mode. Not sure where in Honeycomb the setting is, but on my phone it is under settings - applications - development.
Uncheck that and problem solved I bet.

On the tab.
But when I want to update the tab I'll get a message that says "unable to convert to update mode".
and I can only transfer small images otherwise it shuts down (kies)

I bought a USB connecyion kit and use a small USB stick. I also use it for backing up data so that when I do a hard reset on my Tab I ca njust plug the USB stick in and restore all data using Titanium Backup.
So yeah, I give up trying in hope to get some decent help here.
I am not able to connect my SGS3 to any of my 2 PC's or my notebook.
I have tried everything as far as I know (on all 3 systems):
(Re)installed KIES
(Re)connected my SGS3
Rebooted the computers
Rebooted the phone
Did a factory reset
Used the SGS3 toolkit
Tried different USB slot
I even bought a new USB cable just to be sure :s
When I plug it in it starts charging and that's it.
Windows doesn't even give the confirmation sound when any random USB device is connected.
I don't see my SGS3 anywhere on my computer (not in device manager, nowhere).
I reinstalled KIES several times and installed the drivers through the SGS3 toolkit.
I own the international SGS3 with stock rom (haven't been able to update at all because of the connection issue).
I do not know what to do anymore.
Please help oh wise XDA gurus !
I would try a return to supplier and get them to prove its not hardware

Had the very same problem.. installed updated usb drivers from the samsung site and it pretty much worked for me..

Probably a broken registry on your computer try fixing it using advanced system care (it's free) afterwards try reconnecting it again. If that doesn't work try to go to samsung's support section and see what you can find to resolve your issue.
I tried it on my PC at work, same problem.
Registry issue on 4 different machines?
I think not.
Also:
I got connectivity for a moment on both my PC and notebook but it went away within seconds.
The phone gave the notification that it is connected as a mass storage device.
Then the message disappeared and it only charged and nothing else.
Playing with the cable it came back and off a few times.
Now it stays disconnected.
Seems like the connector in my phone is dead :s?
Open Terminal Emulator
type SU
then type this.....
setprop persist.sys.usb.config mass_storage adb

Check the connector on your S3. The PC's maybe fine, but something is shorting pin 2 & 3 thereby nullifying the data pins.Hence it is being detected as a charger.(Actually that is the difference between a charger connection and a PC connection).Thereis a thread on XDA about cleaning it with a toothpick. Takes a few minutes actually.
you may consider on cleaning your phone's usb port
in addition, there is an app in the market (for free) that enables/disables usb mass storage (that's how i used to fix my usb problems; i honestly dunno why)
also, if u have tried different roms (stock/kernel), it may be a hw problem.

I thought I had connector problems myself sometime ago, but as Dr Danish said, I un installed the samsung drivers which are different from un installing kies. Restart pc and connect phone, make sure you have Internet, and windows will auto install them again.

if this is happening on multiple machines then its more likely to be the phone, did it happen after a flash phone reboot?. It happened to me on my old galaxy S2 after flashing a corrupt MIUI ROM.
Flash back to FULL stock should resolve, if not then your phone is in a state you can return it in, if you haven't had it long they may do a straight swapout.
It is the only thing that worked for me. It tells the phone to inquire about mtp/mass storage everytime it is connected

Does that mean you solved this with a flash back to Stock as I advised?, although sgs3 doesn't use mass storage, if you are on stock you wouldn't get these messages unless you had rooted and installed EASUMS. When you plug it in it should just say on your phone "connected as media device" and it will connect to your PC using MTP. All you need for MTP to work is the correct drivers, Kies install will provide these if you havent found them elsewhere.
Where are you at now then?
Hello guys,
first let me say that while I may be a noob to the forum I am not a noob to the search features and I used it extensively before making this post. However, the problem I have still remains.
My tablet will charge when connected to the PC, but the USB MTP options do not start on the tablet when plugged in. I have tried all of the suggestions, such as, uninstalling the USB drivers on my PC and reinstalling. I have also checked the advanced storage settings on the tablet and made sure that connection as MTP is checked.
I believe this started happening after I rooted my tablet using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1474971 But, I'm not sure if that's the issue.
Any ideas???
Any help you guys can give me would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Note: Currently running Stock ICS 4.0.4, Kernel 3.1.10, Build IMM76.UELP
No one has had this issue?
Depending on what I've done last. In settings under developers options. I've left the usb debugging box checked or unchecked and when I switch it from one to the other the tab gets recognized.
Try unchecking usb debugging. You'll need to be disconnected from the PC to uncheck it.
Please don't flame me if I'm off base here. I'm just trying to help with my old man memory.

Thanks for your reply, I appreciate it...but I've already tried that a few times...
not having this fixed is getting frustrating!
Update
ok...So I've tried a couple of other ICS deodexed roms and I still have the same issue...The MTP connectivity will not start on the tablet...
Could this be hardware issue?
Not sure on stock ICS,I hated it and flashed cm10 with pershoot kernel,after that I had the same problem as yu,try Settings>storage>three dots on top right corner of screen>USB computer connection>enable media device....worked for me,I also had the debugger checked off....Or if that isnt it,Bad usb cable??? (EDIT) No go for me ethier,I can only mount the PTP part,not the USB storage
Thanks for your input foxcartman, but I already tried that and it still doesn't work.
more troubleshooting...
ok...so I've tried some more trobleshooting...
I have an HDMI adapter, which works just fine.
I've also tried an SD card adapter and the USB cable adapter, the tablet recognizes both but it does not read any data. ie: the pictures I had on the SD card.
I'm waiting to get another USB cable to see if that's the issue and I'll report back.
Thank you, my new lord & saviour

Oh Yes, those 3 damned dots strike again. Thanks
So I have had my phone for a week now and I still love it as much today as when I took it out of the box. I can't put it down. I have found a couple of things that frustrate me though. Right now the biggest of those issues is the lack of the connect to pc menu in the settings. I'm not able to play music through the stereo in my car via usb. Just come up saying n/a device. I pretty sure it has something to do with usb debugging as I can not get it to turn off after install bulletproof kernel. Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks in advance

Sup my XDA'erzz... Hey so real quick is anyone experiencing issues with Android File Transfer and a Mac? I'm specifically using a Macbook Pro i& quad-core with a SSD and running OS X 10.9 Mavericks... I never had these issues with my Verizon OG HTC One 32GB... But since picking up a Verizon HTC One Max 32GB Android File Transfer refuses to work and for the life of me I can't figure out why.. If I just plug it in nothing happens unless I manually launch AFT and then I receive a message that says please connect your android device with a usb cable. If I plug it in and restart the phone it picks it up but then says can not connect to device... It's extremely annoying because I'm working on some ROMs for it and I have to constantly ADB push everything....... Not that big of deal but I'd still like to be able to mount my storage where everything is visible and can add/remove as I please.... Any suggestions would be great, thanks guys!!

Reinstall drivers, not a mac user so idk if you need the fastboot or adb files from sdk. But if you do, reinstall those exe files

Did you look at what the usb phone setting is on. I know there are extra ones like modem or something or other that could prevent transfer.
I am having similar issues, the mtp file transfer mode seems to borked. I can get files from phone but not send em. I've been mounting my external sd as drive then moving the files using root explorer.
Of course.. It always shows that MTP mode is enabled but does nothing when you tap it, and also shows usb is connected on the phone but when taping that it brings up only options for internet passthrough and sharing etc...

Right. Internet passthrough and others. Dont some of those stop file transfer when active.

Could be the USB 3.0 intermittent issue. Try a powered hub that is USB 2.0 as if your notebook is new enough most likely the USB ports are all 3.0.
Just saying.
