So im trying to copy and paste my music folder from my computer to my sd card. But when I have MTP selected it shuts it self off and connects as an installer. Then starts going crazy like someone is constantly pulling the usb cable in and out of the computer. My drivers are update to date. Sometimes I can pick the sdcard and it start moving files then it disconnects the device and vzw installer shows up, and MTP is unchecked. USB debugging is unchecked also. Not sure what is going on. My Samsung USB cable will make a connection noise when connected to the computer but thats it. It never shows up so im using a motorola cable that i have had success with in the past and flashing this phone to complete bone stock. Other than that I have no idea why its freaking out.
Any suggestions or something that Im missing?

That happened to me once, I restarted my computer and it worked. I would also just tried another USB port after that
I've been having this problem for awhile. I've switched phones, computers
erased my sd. I don't know what the problem is.. Ive even bought a new usb cord. I'm going to buy a new sd card and try that. My computer says it doesn't recognize my phone. All I want is too put music on my card.. It worked so nice before the ota 2.1...i really appreciate your input.
It could be the drivers. See if it gives you the option to uninstall the drivers from Device Manager. Maybe you can add an ADB device. I forget how.
Hey guys,
I have been having trouble copying my music to my SGS2. I have been trying to copy about 2000 songs, but about 10-15% of the way through the files, something just seems to freeze up and nothing more will copy after that point. I thought that copying a smaller amount at a time might fix the problem, but it keeps doing it, and it's not a specific song that seems to be causing the problem.
So I guess my questions are what is the problem and what can I do about it? I'm not sure whether my SD card is borked, or whether my phone is borked (I hope not!) or whether my PC or Kies are at fault.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Just try to copy/paste the same file to your Internal SD and post back. Besides why are you using Kies for it, it can be done normally!
Tried to copy the "normal" way. Got an error message along the lines of "the device has been disconnected or stopped responding." I guess we know something is wrong now.
At what mode are you connnecting, Phone or Mass Storage? And is your PC too old and doesn't have USB 3.0?
Sometime when the screen gets locked by the "screen time out" this might happen
Generllay what I do is to set screen time out to 10 mins and then work with kies
Screen Lock time has nothing to do with Kies or PC connection IMO, mine is always set at 30 secs, and NO problem with connection with Kies, let alone with PC.
Regards.
Hmm, I think the problem is definitely with my phone. Have tried everything - USB mass storage option and what have you. Still always fails on meafter a few files are copied. I/O device errors and the like.
I think the problem is in your OS, not phone. Make sure it's running okay, try to connect other USB devices and see if you have the same prob or not.
Regards.

I have been using the USB ports on the front of my PC case. Should I try the ones at the back of my PC?
I am running Windows 7 (32 bit) if that helps.
I'm having an odd problem whenever I plug my galaxy tab in, it seems to fail to recognize it has the ability to transfer files between itself and my computer.
Both the computer and the tablet recognize that it is plugged in, however, their fails to be anything popping up on my computer showing the tablet as ready to transfer files.
I have installed the drivers on the tablet and nothing has changed, I can also use adb on the tablet through USB debugging, but still no file transfer!
Anyone have any ideas? (I'm running a P.C. with windows 7)
nothing is supposed to pop up, you just have to look for it in Computer
did you do that ?
uncheck USB debug too ?!

Make sure USB Debugging is disabled, and then plug the tablet into the computer.
With the new ICS firmware (and I don't know if its all ICS) you need to turn off debug in order to use Mass Storage.
Is there any application or other way around this? It gets a little annoying to always have to do this.
Titanium backup needs debugging on for some of my apps and if not using mass storage mode the phone connects via MTP mode which is very slow
I would willingly pay for an app/widget that does the following
Once pressed turns off debug and asks you to plug in USB for mass storage.
Prior to disconnecting the USB cable you select to disconnect which then un-mounts the storage and then turns back on debug
figure should be easy to make for some dev out there
Anyone have an idea on this?
Guess no one out there has an idea
Hmm, for me the only difference running ICS and checking or unchecking dev option/USB debugging is whether or not I can manually unmount the phone in Windows, it always connects as a media device and I have no otion to turn that off.
Mediamonkey takes forever when my phone is connected as MTP (say 15 minutes to build the sync list?), and the only real option to use it to send fresh music to my phone WAS connecting it as mass storage (15 SECONDS for the sync list).
So I would really really appreciate any hints on how to get my S2 to connect as mass storage. It's the official ROM rooted using Chainfires respective kernel.

Or at least an app that selects and deselects the option automatically as I mention above.
Sure a dev somewhere can make lots of money for an app like this

Thanks for the info but I already knew this.Also you didnt need all these steps in gingerbread and previous software versions.
Also for people using USB debug this must be turned off before being able o do all of the above.
Im just saying an app can be made that does all of this with one click
Well, get onboard here, test and say if it works.
I have USB Debugging always on and I am currently running LP7 version of ICS.
When I plug in the the phone I get the Media Device (MTP) coming up on the phone - which is ticked.
In Windows Explorer (Windows XP) just below Control Panel (in the folders window) is a +GT-I9100. Clicking on the + I see a subfolder +Phone The items in this folder are the Internal SD of the phone.
From this I just drag and drop. I haven't noticed any difference in speed between this new way and the old method in Gingerbread.

Try transferring a large file you will see the difference between transfer speeds in MTP mode and mass storage.
Also with MTP you can only do one thing at a time. For example let's say you are transferring files. While doing that you want to erase something else. It will wait for the original transfer to finish prior to starting

But will this work even with debug on?
Yes. As mentioned in the linked post:
- connect cable
- classic "usb connected" notification appears in notification bar with option to do usb mount
- adb available.
Doesn't like my Mac either
When connecting my galaxy s2, I get the attached error.

MTP wont even work properly on my Windows 7 machine. It refuses to update the explorer process as long as the phone is plugged in. So navigating the phone means a lot of plugging and unplugging to get anything out of it.
Changing to UMS means my 2 devices (Internal SD and External SD) are visisble right away, but sadly are not displayed with any storage bars underneath . As a result I can't access them anyway and the second my phone goes to standby it stops the "process".
So any help or hints how to get my damned phone to actually work and show the storage bars underneath is most welcomed.
hi. the problem im having is that i cant connect my phone to transfer files such as music and photos. i can use apps like airdroid and kies but want to discover the problem and have an easier way off organizing my files from computer to phone.
i recently flashed cm-9-20121209-NIGHTLY-galaxys2.zip then installed gapps-ics-201204929-signed.zip from internal storage.
thats the only two things i have done.
a window used to pop up when i plugged in the usb and it would also appear on 'MyComputer' folder. but neither happen now. I still get the connected sound when i connect the phone. I have tried different usb slots on my computer and have tried turning my phone off and on and rebooting it.
do i need a special driver for the cyanogenmod rom? thats the only thing i can think of!
anyone have any suggestions?
thanks
