My usb cable quit working, and I'm wondering if there is an app I can install on windows where I can access my android device over wifi and see the contents of it like I would through usb? Then I could just drag and drop stuff on it like I normally would. I'm using HTC One S and windows 7 64bit.

So everytime that I go to connect my TB to the computer via usb, it freezes my computer up. I have HTC Sync installed. When I connect to my computer, what option should I choose? If I choose a different one, it does not matter, the computer is still frozen. It freezes up the computer to where I have to do a hard restart and its really starting to piss me off.... I also chose the HTC sync option and it searches my computer for it even though I have I installed and running when I connect the USB!!
I am running Windows 7 64-bit.
Help, please!!
Uninstall htc sync and try using the vzw media sync software that's included on the sdcard instead

The VZW Media app thing?
So just got the Evo the other day and love it! Coming from the Evo 4g its a big difference. Quick question though..
I'm at work and wanting to run the USB tether on my desktop (in a trailer and we don't have internet running in for another couple of weeks). I have all the drivers installed and the computer recognizes when I'm in mass storage mode or just charging, when when I switch to USB tether mode, my phone says "turning on" but nothing happens on the desktop in fact it disappears like its not connected.
Not sure what else to do here is there another driver that I need to install or what's going on?

I've never seemed to be able to use tethering that way on any device what I did was used WiFi tether (must be ics generic) or use a tethering app from the market all u need to do is install there client to ur computer and connect. U can download the client onto ur phone and then transfer to ur pc that's how i do it when I restore my pc so I can update my WiFi drivers

First off, thanks guys for figuring out how to root the GP4.2. It is my first android anything after finally passing on my itouch to someone else.
I am using PCLinuxOS with gnome and my only hangup so far is trying to get the GP42 recognized as a USB MS device. Currently I am getting around this by WiFi and SFTP to the device but I would really prefer faster USB cable connections.
Plugging in the USB cable starts charging but I never get the USB MASS STORAGE app popup like I do in WinXP.
I looked on the forums here and can not find much info on the GP4.2.
Is there a toggle app for the USB MS mode that will run on this player or something built in?

Go to Settings -> Wireless and network -> USB settings
Choose Mass storange
Now connect to your computer using your cable. After few seconds there will be a button on the screen, press it, now your computer should see the device's internal (and external, if exists) sd card as a normal usb flash drive.
Not quite that easy
The problem is that I am using Linux and the above only works in Windows with the Samsung Driver installed.
Linux is not triggering the popuup! I was asking if there is a way to manually trigger that very popup, because I have those settings already and it works in XP.
Perhaps there is a Call or command I can do from a shortcut or the commandline in terminal (I have busybox and a Terminal emulator on my Player).
WiFi is just SOOOOO slow!

I need a way to transfer large files, 700mb+, from my hox+ to my Iconia. Problem is I'm on cellular data, so something like Wi-Fi file transfer would be out of the question. I tried using Bluetooth file transfer, but it takes ages, and always fails anyway. My hox+ is rooted but the Iconia isn't, and it's running android 3.2 if that's at all relevant. thanks in advance ladies/gents.
Do you have a computer.
I have a two, but this phone is completely incapable of connecting to either via usb. neither computer even acknowledges my phone is connected to it.

I have had issues with this coming from a HTC Desire and found the only way to get my PC to see the phone correctly is to turn on USB Debugging on and the moment I connect the phone to the PC I have to unlock the screen otherwise all I get is a blank window. (Once the drivers have installed)
Do you have drivers installed?
I've installed every driver I can find pertaining to mtp, htc, android, etc. I honestly think maybe there's something wrong with the phone, but then again when I "install hardware" on Vista and install all the drivers that way,I still get a code 10 (cannot connect).
What about ADB? If so you can transfer to computer with it.
my phone will not connect via usb, to transfer files I use web sharing. but that isn't feasible to transfer from phone to tablet, unless I'm on Wi-Fi. I need a way to do it when I'm away from home and on cellular data.
Are you using windows XP? If so, you must install windows media player 11 / 12 so that your pc will recognize your phone as a usb mass storage device and download and install the latest HTC Sync Manager, just google it.
Hope it helps.
Best regards.

Well i finally figured out why my phone wouldn't connect via usb, because the phone itself was BROKEN! Got a new one under warranty and everything is working perfect! Thanks for all the help guys! Its time to get rooting, again!
Hoy can use Airdroid from the play store

thanks for the advice, but airdroid uses data. it's handy if you're on Wi-Fi though.
I have tried to connect with the device through USB with fastboot, adb, and just through Windows. It does not show up in the Device Manager at all.
Is this a hardware issue with the device? Seems odd as it was working fine and now it isn't and it has only been sitting on my desk as this isn't my main phone.
By the way I have tried this on 2 different Windows 8.1 computers and one Windows 7 PC.
Try removing all drivers for the phone and reinstalling them and see if it works. Also are there any other phone drivers installed for a different device you may have recently installed? They may be conflicting.

It should still show up in Device Manager regardless of drivers though. Just tested on a computer that has never had a single phone plugged into it and Device Manager still does not detect and devices.
Windows 8.1 has driver issues for the DNA. Though it should have worked fine in Windows 7. But I believe for a device to show up the drivers need to be installed.

try a different cable
The device should still show up without drivers as an unknown device. You can't really mess with the drivers for the device until it shows up. Also on a Windows 7 computer that has never been used before the computer should automatically pickup the device so you can transfer files to/from through Windows Explorer.
I have tried a different cable.
I am starting to think it's a hardware issue with the device itself.
what happens when you connect an OTG cable and a flash drive? Does the activity light on the drive activate?
I have not tried that and I do not believe I have an micro OTG cable. I will have to check when I am back at my place later.
Try installing HTC sync and update it and see if that installs ur correct drivers

Appreciate the replies. It should still detect a device plugged in without drivers/HTC Sync, but I have tried installing HTC Sync and all that anyhow. The PC's can detect other Android devices just fine(HTC One M8 & EVO 4G).

If you KNOW the cable is "good", the port may not be "GOOD". Does the cable work with another device?
The cable is definitely good(tried multiple and they work with other devices). I have been thinking it's the port in the device from the beginning, but was hoping maybe there was something else going on.
