I have this weird problem, I can't move files from my PC to S3 but it can do everything else.
What works:
1. I can see my phone in windows explorer including all the files.
2. I can copy files inside the phone. (using the phone)
3. I can copy folders from S3 to PC.
What doesn't:
1. When connected to USB i can see the files in windows explorer in the phone, i can right click and copy them or drag but it does not paste on the destination folder.
2. When I try to copy files on the computer from the SD card to the same folder using windows explorer a pop up window comes out saying "Cannot copy (title of file being copied): The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected". But it is not disconnected nor did it stop because i can still browse the SD Card and the phone in windows explorer. When I copy the same file and folder inside the phone it works.
3.If i use Odin to try and flash another image it sees the phone but just sits without transfering even when phone is in download mode
What I already tried
1. Checking and un-checking USB debugging.
2. Turning the phone off an on again.
3. Using another laptop. So I guess the problem is in the phone.
4. Using another USB cable.
5. Factory reset
6. fix permissions in rom manager
Phone Info:
Phone: Samsumg Galaxy S3 GTI9300
Android Version: 4.1.2

Any help appreciated!
Hey
Is the s3 drivers properly installed on your laptop??

I had a similar experience... here's what I did:
Uninstall kies.
Reboot pc
Reinstall kies
Enable usb debugging on your galaxy
Insert usb
Browse and copy.
Recommendation: use the same usb port every time you connect your device to the pc. At least on my system, it tries installing new Samsung modem drivers with every usc port I plug my phone into. And that's just silly.

Hi,
I am connecting my Vibrant (rooted and unlocked) to my computer, I click "open folder to view files". Browser does open, but closes automatically after about 30 seconds. Furthermore I cannot see the camera folder.
Any ideas how I could view all files in side my cell from my PC? I am using Windows 7.

In setting do you have usb debugging on? When you plug in your cable do you mount your phone? Does it read either of your sd cards?
try reinstalling the drivers for your phone or try to use a different usb slot or try to use a different wire.
make sure to check usb debugging is off and then mount the phone on to pc
Hi all
Thanks to those who replied though it would be nice if the post was fully read first... for example, I cannot just connect the phone and copy its content via USB!
Here's the problem:
- phone screen is smashed and shows nothing
- phone still powers up though
- it is not rooted
- it has data on its internal memory that I want to copy
- it has pattern lock activated
- computer (MS Vista OS) recognises a USB devise is logged in, but it doesn't read it as a drive, and KIES just idles... no doubt because I would need to change the phone settings, which I can't do with a smashed screen.
QUESTIONS:
- How can I access phone contents to copy them? (repair shop wants $220)
- I was told using ADN....
I installed SDK Tools but how do I start ADN?
Many thanks
the easiest way might be connect to your computer and copy the contents of the internal sdcard if your computer sees the phone.
If you wan to use odin, use file dump to dump the contents of your phone i believe.
I'm quite the noob when it comes to adb scripting, but I believe that
- start a command line within the directory where ADB executable is located
- type in "adb usb" and it should connect to your phone
- then type "adb pull /mnt/sdcard/* X:\path-to-directory\"
commands without parentheses... I hope it will work
Thanks for the replies
I just amended my original post to say the computer does not recognise the phone when USB connected... KIES tries to connect but fails (no doubt because there is no response from the phone).
Did you try and connect it through mass storage?
Settings - Wireless and networks - USB utilities.
Also try uninstalling kies and reinstall

adb is it!
open a adb shell if you need to navigate around to where things are..
then do a adb pull to get the stuff you want.
Oh yeah, forgot about that, haha. Sorry.

Connect phone to PC via a USB mode (not as a portal) then make sure the debug mode is selected on the phone.
Start copying again and it should work.

Today, i've connected my S2 to my PC via the original Samsung USB cable. Phone's memories (int and ext) are seen, accessible. I can take files from the phone, but when i try to add a file (.apk file) to the phone, the transfer window just hungs and does nothing...I've tried Mass storage, MTP, Kies, but nothing. (Kies is crashing my whole system). Tried debugging on/off...still nothing. Cannot try through wifi, since my pc is connected via cable to the internet, and my phone is connected to a hacked neighbours network
I've searched the forum and didn't find any similar case
EDIT: I can only transfer photo files.

Exit kies, open task manager and kill all kies processes. Your apk file transfer should be fine now

then rename the extension if you're apk files and then transfer. In your phone, rename the extension back to apk.
It works fine here but i don't know why it's not working for you.
Ps: use mass storage mode

Same here.
After I updated from GingerBread to Jelly Bean, I can't transfer apk files from PC to phone using bluetooth.
Trying a file transfer in debugging mode, some apk files go through and some don't.
I get a 'Skip this file?' popup (maybe gloup81 gets a popup that hides behind other windows, so the system doesn't really hang there).
If I remove the special characters (like "-"," _", or ".") from the name, or sometimes shorten it, the apk goes through.
It looks like a filename parsing problem on Jelly Bean (since these file names had no problem on GingerBread).
Goto Wireless And Networks - and USB Connection.
Try this
Peace
Hit Thanks & It will Disappear

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?
