For some weird reason I am unable to access files via Android File Transfer with usb cable. I never had any such problems with any other android device before. I just flashed S6 rom and still have same problem. Did anyone else face this? Any solution? Thanks.
/S
I'm having the same problem on my MacBook, but not my iMac. Both are on Yosemite 10.10.3. I have USB debugging enabled and all that, and still can't get Android File Transfer to work. I've toggled it to get it to reauthorize this mac, but still no luck. I'm going to have to play with the MacBook. On the iMac, I did have to complete remove Android File Transfer and all of it's preference files, reboot, reinstall AFT, and reauthorize the mac to get it working. I'm thinking since I have more users on my MacBook, that may have something to do with it, so I need to dig in both user files. I'll report back
Also, I can't use ADB. I'm getting that the device is offline on both macs.
i am having same issue with.
installed smart transfer and still same issue

Hi guys,
Please help me out. I'm about to pull my hair out!!
I installed Kies and the USB drivers, but everytime I try to USB tether, Windows 7 fails to install the driver. I tried uninstalling the Samsung drivers on the computer where it won't work, but it still won't install.
The weird thing is that I plugged in the phone into another computer also running win 7 and that computer easily found the right driver and installed it. Didn't need to install Samsung drivers.
What happens is the driver is downloaded, tries to install, then gives me an error. I attached an image of the error I get. Any advice would be appreciated!
There's a program called driver magician that allows you to take and save a driver off one computer and restore it in another.
If you don't go that route you can always leave the phone plugged in and open hardware manager. Then delete your phone. When it asked choose to delete the driver with it.
Then try it again.

Thanks. That didn't work, but I figured it out!
For anyone who has a similar problem with installing a driver, open up setupapi.dev.log in notepad which is located in c:\windows\inf -- it's kind of a labyrinth to navigate, but I found that I was missing a file which it was looking for. I then found that file on another computer, put it into c:\windows\inf and it worked. There were two missing files actually, usb8023x.sys and rndismpx.sys. Took me all day but finally got USB tethering working.
Unfortunately wifi tethering doesn't work (no internet connection) -- anyone get that?
Nice work.
Never had issues with wifi tethering. Have you made any changes to your phone? Root, rom, ect?

I'm on stock ROM but I did root it to delete the tetheringmanager apk
When I was on stock I did that too with no issues. Try downloading a tethering app from the market like barnacle and see if that makes a difference.

I have a stock Evo View running Honeycomb 3.2.1. Interestingly, neither of my computers, both mac and pc, will detect my tablet when I connect it by USB. This worked just a few weeks ago when I moved some files onto the device. The tablet charges through USB, but I do not get the notification option to use as USB storage. Within "settings > connect to pc" I've tried a number of configurations (default configuration type = disk drive, charge only) and I have also tried checking and unchecking "ask me about USB connection type whenever I connect my tablet to a PC." Nothing new happened.
Additionally, on the mac, I have the Android File Transfer app installed. When I open that i get a notification that says "No Android Device Found"
Coincidentally, I recently installed the Dropbox desktop beta for Mac which automatically detects pictures on a camera and uploads them to Dropbox. When I connected my device, Dropbox checked my device for pictures because it recognizes it as a camera. I instantly got a system error message saying that my device was not ejected properly. However, the mac never detected my device as a drive. Following that, I tried to connect to my PC and all it does is charge. My PC also does not detect my tablet as a drive. I'm thinking the new dropbox desktop client may have been the culprit for breaking my usb connection between my tablet and mac.
Has anyone else experience this problem? If not, is there a way to rebuild my usb connection between my tablet, mac, and pc?
well i would try uninstalling dropbox
Also in Settings/Applications/Development/Usb debugging should be checked.
Thanks. Appreciate the advice.
I did uninstall dropbox, on the View and on the Mac. That didn't help.
USB Debugging was checked. I can see my device in fastboot and adb. However, neither Mac nor PC will detect my tablet and allow me to mount as a hard drive.
I did a factory data reset and that worked. Both computers will recognize the View and I am receiving the notification "charge only, hard disk, htc sync, etc." again.
I wanted to break the usb connection again to confirm that it was in fact either dropbox's android beta, desktop beta, or a combination of the two. I am fairly certain that something broke the first time around because the desktop beta was able to scan my device for photos without my permission to mount the View as a hard disk. But now I'm having trouble proving this since I haven't been able to break the connection again.
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
Yes, I did search. I didn't find what I was looking for.
I have a Samsung Galaxy 5 player running gingerbread. I'm trying to access files on it from my WinXP box via wifi. This seems like it should be a very common thing to do, but I simply can't find it. If I plug it into a usb port, I can access the drives. Can this be done via wifi?
Again, I want to access the android from the PC. Not the other way around.
Thanks for any help.
Three possible solutions pop into my mind (I guess there are many more):
1) Use a ftp server on the phone and access the files using that.
2) Use AirDroid or a similar app. It will give you wireless access to your phone's file.
3) This includes something that you said you didn't necessarily want to do but should also work: Use an app such as ES File Explorer and connect to your Windows XP PC via network. You can share a folder over the network (with write access) and then you can copy files from your android to your pc. But I guess that is the least ideal solution of the above.
I hope that the apps mentioned above are available for your device and that a method works.
Thanks, Fabur. I'm sure one of them will work.
The reason that "android -> pc" isn't an option is that much of the time, I'm using it as a wifi camera to monitor what my dogs are doing elsewhere in the house. But it would be nice to be able to access the files on the player from my pc.
I've seen this issue mentioned here before but I've never been able to find a definitive solution.
My Kindle HDX 7'' connects without issue to my laptop running Windows 7 and allows me to browse the files located on the internal storage.
On my Windows 8.1 laptop I get basically nothing. My computer recognizes it as a device but doesn't allow me to browse the internal storage. The kindle gives me a message saying I may need third party software to view the files. Both pc's have the kindle adb drivers installed and turning USB debugging on/off doesn't help either. I also try un-installing/re-installing drivers in device manager which also doesn't seem to help.
Does anyone have any insight or experience this same issue?
Thanks!
Although you've probably done this already a reboot cured my HDX connectivity issues on Win 8.1 when a similar thing happened to me a few weeks ago.
