[Q] Nexus 4 on win8 - doesn't work!! - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello.
I just connected my Google Nexus 4 to Win8, and I can't get it to work.
I can't access to the Nexus, I don't see the device, though it does appear on the devices, but I can't get into it on windows explorer.
I even installed a driver (though I know I shouldn't have had done that) and still - nothing.
Help?

Try again, because I am on wins 8....no issues at all.

amazing

You really think that now that you've told me to try again cause you have no issues so everything works suddenly?
WDF?

try enabling development mode if it isn't already. I've seen sometimes it won't let you browse the directory without it on

What do you mean? where?

Nothing, the device isn't there as a drive on windows.

It doesn't report as a drive. The nexus uses MTP for connection. Not UMS like older android phones.
It will show up as a device. Just click there to open in explorer.

From the start menu just type "computer"
Then, scroll down and double click Nexus 4.

does your device manager recognize it. should show under Android Device - Google Nexus 4 ADB Interface

work fine for me, ensure you driver installed successful.
you need to Disable Driver Signature Enforcement :
How to Disable Driver Signature Enforcement in Windows 8:
From the Metro Start Screen, open Settings (move your mouse to the bottom-right-corner of the screen and wait for the pop-out bar to appear, then click the Gear icon).
Click ‘More PC Settings’.
Click ‘General’.
Scroll down, and click ‘Restart now’ under ‘Advanced startup’.
Wait a bit.
Click ‘Troubleshoot’.
Click ‘Advanced Options’
Click ‘Windows Startup Settings’
Click Restart.

I think I had a similar problem, I had to disable USB debugging in the phones settings for it to work.

I think he was getting at the fact that it's not Win 8's fault.
I'm also on Win 8 and 3 PCs and it works on them all with no problems.
You should be a bit nicer to people if you expect any help. Surprised these other people even bothered responding to you.

When I use pocket cm 0.12 keyboard for my sprint touch, the Windows 4 suggested words doesn't show up anymore. All the boxes is checked off in the settings. Does anybody know a fix for this?

[APP] Sending files from PC to GalaxyS via wireless internet

Hi.
I'm introducing an awsome application made by Samsung.
Its name is SnapNGo.
There are two files which are sng_setup.exe and SnapNGo.apk.
SnapNGo.apk is installed on your device and sng_setup.exe is on your PC.
In order to use them, those two machines must be online.
After installation both of them, turn on the Snap N' Go file in your PC.
And then turn on the SnapNGo application in your device as well.
You must see the camera screen.
Default setting is "from PC to Device".
If you want to pull a file out from PC, just take its photo.
Put the file icon in the middle of Camera's focusing box and press shoot button.
That's all. Your file will be located in /sdcard/SnapNGo/
Here's the attachment's link. It's 9.07MB zipped.

A sad thing is that it doesn't work on Froyo, at least with mine.
edit : Oh my god.. there is the place where I should've written down this kind of thread.
I'm sorry, how can I move this to there?
HAHAH !!! it works
This a really nice app thanks buddy

from PC to your device : I think any files are available. I haven't tested all files but there were nothing I couldn't send. e.g. apk,zip,txt etc..
from I9000 to PC : there are only a few files supported. jpgs or something.
PC client crash on Windows 7 x64.
At least on mine :/

Don't suppose an x64 version was available? (I did try to find the page but couldn't)
You may want to try SwiFTP, it does ftp over wifi. It's a 1 click setup and you can then access it with any machine on the network. Super fast and easy.
many thanks for this helpfull program, which works perfictily ob the latest orange froyo 2.2.
however, there is newer addition of it, if some one can bring it to us, that would be great.

Thanks for pointing out. very nice utility. Another one is Wifi Explorer pro.
Astro file manager I can transfer any files from my pc to phone and vice versa if you connected to the network via wifi
Will stick with awesome drop, this is a bit clunky, but very clever.

Hi, Are you using Expanded Desktop feature? Maybe (just maybe) this is you problem, or you can try this feature for tablet experience and app will work.

My tablet appears on the device manager, but no more...

Hi everybody,
I just bought a nexus 7 2012 yesterday and I encounter many difficulties to plug it to my computer.
I have rooted the tablet, it runs under Android 4.3 with the firmware JWR66Y.
When I plug it, my computer running with Windows 7 makes appear the tablet in the device manager and it is noticed that this device works correctly.
But I think that there is a problem because I have no idea of the way to transfer files ! The tablet doesn't appear somewhere else !
Thanks for the help you can give me,
Florent.
Go to Settings / Storage press on the 3dot on your navbar and choose MTP.

Just turn the app off. It will install after that.
That hasn't worked, let me give more info because I didn't give enough.
I'm running Android O DP3 and I have the Nexus 6P.
Everytime I try to download and app apk wise it wouldn't let me because of what I said before
Install a file manager like mixplorer and select it too download. I do this sometimes when chrome acts up and download doesn't move.
Didn't work
Its still saying, becuase another app is displaying on top of these options, packge installer cant respond to your options nexus 6p
