Installing HiSuite as superbass311 suggested will install the USB driver for phone so phone can communicate with PC correctly to read internal storage and external storage/micro SD card.

If you don't need to transfer files often and the files are small you might also want to check out Pushbullet (https://www.pushbullet.com/) although you will need to install it on your phone and your pc it will also allow you to transfer files as long as the file size is smaller than 25mb.

There's also something simple like Dropbox for PC and the app which will sync your photos.

Goggle Photos on you phone and your PC. Set it to sync. Is that so hard?

[Q] How too's

New to android here and was wondering if someone could direct me to a good location where I could find information about installing ring tone, pics and general stuff from PC to phone. Sorry for being a newbie but I'm from the blackberry world. I have not found a very helpful place yet for how too's.
Thanks
Well you dont have to install blackbery desktop manager on these phones lol. Just plug your phone into your computer using your usb chord. Select mount as disk drive and send what ever you want from your comouter to the ohone. Shoukd show up on your computer as removable disk

Q- Transferring Movies?

Hey, I've been trying to transfer some movies to my tab and it doesn't seem to be working. The windows explorer crashes when I drag over file. Any help?
Thanks in advance

The only way I could do it easily was to buy the USB adaptor and transfer via USB. This works fine for me and transfer is pretty quick. Just drop the required files you want in the relevant file directory on the tab.
I couldn't get any data transferred via WIFI or Kies so gave up and the USB transfer works fine for me. You may want to pay for the Diceplayer app though as I found the stock player had audio/video synching problems in some files.
I use an app called/ WIFI FILE EXPLORER/,to transffer everything from my pc or HD2 WM 6.5!! to my SGT.never fails and very easy.

+1 for this. Never had any problem. Are your files too big for the OS? I'm not sure what the limit is, but can you split the files up?

Transfering movies - transfer rate
Hi everyone,
First time ever in a forum so hope i am doing this right.
Bought a Samsung galaxy tab 10.1, all is good but when i transfer videos from my laptop it says i should convert for proper play back on my tab.
The issue I have is that transferring files takes like 1 hour for a HD movie and for example breaking bad 800 mb takes about 20-30 minutes.
I am just dragging and dropping from my laptop to the movie folder of my tab.
I have searched the net and many say the Kies and allshare of Samsung are a no go..
So my question is this normal transfer rate?
Do I need to install another application on my laptop or tab to be more sufficient?
Thanks
Nash
What about using SwiFTP on the tab to start an FTP server? Then use Filezilla FTP client on the computer and sign on to the FTP server. Then just transfer everything over?
Get File Expert from Android Market (free). You can then tranfer files from PC/Mac to the Tablet via your web browser.
File manager HD is pretty good for copying files over wifi.

I have usb cable as part of charger, so I can unplug this cable and use it just as usb cable.
Otherwise I am transferring data with my own app Local Sync which synchronizes Outlook, but has powerfull file synchronization with transfer resumes, md5 verification, etc.
Without any app it should be possible if you install Samsung USB drivers and disable usb debugging mode in tablet, which is activated by default - just drag and drop files between pc and tablet.
I have used Kies wifi and wired and both have worked, but of course via wifi the movie took a looooong time.
I should finally have my usb/sd adapter kit delivered next week so that will be my new way of transfering files.
nice love it

I am confused, (a common state for me when playing with my Tab, unfortunately). My Tab has the 3.2 update and I have no problem dragging and dropping files between my PC and the Tab. I have not installed any USB drivers or disabled USB debugging, at least not that I know of. I am using the stock USB charge cable.
Did the issue with USB transfers go away with the latest release?

So you're using the USB connection? Everything worked fine from the box for me.
This might help you (it's a little bit slower though) - try using File Manager HD, it's really easy to browse and copy stuff from your PC/Mac/laptop/whatever, you can even set bookmarks for easier access

No USB file transfer with Mac

I can't believe you can't sync or transfer files via usb. Someone please tell me I'm wrong because I've been googling for an hour and looks like the transfer program from asus is for pc only. I can use dropbox for smaller files but video transfers are going to be a pain. Any ideas?

There's no reason to have to use a transfer program. Just mount as SD device
ASUS probably expects Mac users to be using a iPad.

Care to explain how? It doesn't mount as an SD device, or give the option to do that. It shows up as using MTP, like the Galaxy Tab.

AirDroid is the bomb! Try it. Mac or pc & interface & functions are phenomenal.. it is what I use daily. Plus it is free.
Android file transfer has a file size limit! What the heck? Any ideas on transferring large files?

Reset My phone Lost everything !

So i searched the site for a while and could not find anything on how to get back information (really only pictures) after I Reset my phone back to factory. For some reason or another my phone would not allow me to sign in through Gmail even after talking with Google on the phone and confirming my email my locked phone would not unlock. I have to send back this phone by moday but was sent here by a guy from Tmobile since he said this is the Best place to go. I did try using Recovery programs both apps and on PC but was unable to find anything and apparently my phone never backed up anything to gmail ect. Any help would be greatly appreciated !!!
If this is a repost and you can shoot me in the right direction that would also be great but as i said i was unable to find anything in the Amaze section for this !

I was told it was possible to find them in hidden files and would have to root my phone ?
I know the guy from tmobile did the same thing and thru this site was able to locate his videos and pictures ? (not all of them but most)

How did you attempt to recover the files with the recovery programs? Also, the more you use the phone, the more likely the deleted files will get overwritten with other junk files.

I used a program Stelar Phoenix photo recovery and i have not really used the phone since. I also set it up to put my photos on my sd card which for some reason it was not doing!? Im using a replacement Amaze at this point so if i was able to retrieve photos i would not over write .
Thanks

Most likely, it meant it stored the photos on the phone's internal SDCard. You should try installing Recuva, its an another recovery program. After that, connect the said phone to the computer with an USB cable and it should ask you to choose a connection type, and then choose "Disk Drive" to have the phone mount both of its internal and external storage to the computer. If you press start and then select computer, it should display 2 additional drives, both of which is from the phone. They should show up with their drive letter (Such as F:, G:, I:, K or something like that.
With the said program, choose it to search all pictures, and as for the location, select "In a specific location" and then choose the drive letter the *INTERNAL* storage is at. The drive letter is usually also represented with a label of HTC_STORAGE or INTERNAL, or something similar. After selecting the location, you can optionally enable deep scan, but it will take a long time.
If it does find something, the most important thing is to have the files transferred to a *DIFFERENT* location, such as your computer's hard drive. It is NOT wise to transfer the files onto the internal storage until you have transferred all of the found objects to a different location.
After you have transferred the files to a different location, you can optionally put the pictures back on the internal storage, or leave it on your computer. The choice is yours.

There was a program I used to retrieve my lost data. I gotta find out what it was called.
Recovah ftw. Works with android and windows.
Checkout filehippo.com I recovered files that were written over More than a few times. you wont recover everything but it's your best bet. I have heard this may work on your SIM as well but you need to get your pc to see the SIM as just another drive or something. I was able to read my sim info on another phone of mine dont remember what the program was called. Recovah is the best and...it's free, no malware, bots etc.

Recovering Deleted Photos/Videos ???

Hey guys, I accidentally deleted some family photos/videos on the LGOG. They were stored on the external SD card.
Is there any app that would help recover/restore those files?
Thanks
There isnt an app, but you could either hookup your phone with a usb cable or get a micro sd card adapter to hookup it up to your computer. Then use the program called Recuva. You can download it for free and it works really well. I've used it multiple times.

Great. Thaks
I'll give it a try
Installed Recuva.
Plugged my LGOG to the desktop. The desktop detects and I can browse the files.
However, Recuva doesn't seem to detect my LGOG as an external drive so it couldn't scan it.
Any suggestions?

Take the card out of the phone, put it in an adapter, and plug the adapted card into either your PCs built in card reader or a USB reader. Gets around potential driver issues
