Hi,
today i wanted to connect my Galaxy S to Kies to check for updates etc. After connecting usb cable i chose on Samsung Kies on phone and "MTP Application" appeared. But phone couldn't connect to Kies. MTP Application was closing every few seconds and launching again. I reinstalled Kies but that not helped. Mass storage and Modem connection works fine. Do i have to reflash? I'm on JM5.
Do you have "Soundhound" installed?
No, i've never installed it.

Hello.I had that problem too with that firmware.The only solution i had was to format the internal sdcard and then mount it.So if u dont want to reflash just save your data and format it.And dont use launcher pro or adw launcher.They still mess up with mtp aplication as well.
Thx for suggestion. I'll try it in a minute.

Long file extensions
The problem is not only Soundhound, it's file extensions that are over 16 characters long.
You should browse your card manually and search and delete all files with long extensions.
You can find more info by searching "gizmondo galaxy s mysterieux bug trouve" on google.

Wow, i think it really worked. I deleted 2 folders which contained many files with long extensions (.aptoid for example) and it's working now. Thanks a lot.

Guys,
After a failure to get my phone to connect to odin-3 when it was in download mode, I took out the battery (since I did not know how to get it "out" of download mode) just to get it to boot up again.
No harm, as odin did not start to copy the firmware to the phone (since it could not communicate with it), the phone was working and all my apps were there, however, when I plugged my phone into my laptop the PC Kies application would start but my phone to attempt to load "MTP Appliation", however it would just flip back to the touchwiz screen and back to MTP Application then back to touchwiz again (non-stop).
Not sure why this is happening, or what I broke ?
I have since (using Odin) flashed my phone with the latest (European) firmware but the problem is still there, MTP mode just restarting all the time and kies never connecting (I also tried reinstalled the Desktop Kies app).
Anyone know how I can get this working again?
On a related note, i also installed doubletwist (before the steps above) and had to turn on usb debug mode.
I have since turned it off when not syncing with dkubletwist but noticed sometimes the music player saying mass storage device mode is on?
I wonder if some "state/lock" file is left behind somewhere on the phone?
Could the use of doubletwist be related to my problem?

As per my post in the other thread, this method seemed to sort the problem when I had a similar issue. Not sure if you're using a different launcher, but that is what caused the problem for me. Changing to TW didn't help even after killing the other launcher (ADW or Pro). However, once set to default (TW), I could reboot the phone and it would connect fine (without flicking on and off). There's no real need to Keis though if all your contacts are with Google as USB storage mode is more convenient.
I had this problem too. It was caused because only in idle mode of the Samsung home launcher can keis connect. You may have installed a different launcher. Try the following:
Put usb to keis mode in settings
download home switcher from the market
run home switcher an set touchwiz as default home
Reboot phone (task killing other launchers don't work for me.)
make you phone is in the home screen - press home to get there
now connect the cable with keis running on pc
sync everything you need to
In future I suggest you move all contact to Google so they sync over the air and you'll no longer need keis. crappy software!
Thanks so much.
I got launcher switcher and it listed my launcher as unknown. I just switched it to touchwiz and set that as default.
Once i get home i will restart the phone and test connecting with kies.
Thanks for the QUICK reply.

So your recommendation did not work for me.
What did work is actually unmounting the internal sd card and formatting it.
Unfortunately My camera is crashing when i open it.
Funny thing is that my phone sseems so fast now (no lag).

Same problem here and I never used Odin. Must be something different ... any ideas are welcome.
BTW: which latest firmware did you install?
Has anyone of you for whom formating the internal SD card solves the problem installed SoundHound? I spent the last hours with formating the SD card and then copying back my data piece by piece and by this I found out that the "soundhound" folder is the thing which leads to the problem. I have all my data back on the internal SD card except for the "soundhound" folder and the connection works! If I now copy this folder back the problem of the restarting "MTP Application" returns. If I now delete the folder again it is working again! So at least for me SoundHound or furthermore it's folder on the internal SD clearly is the problem! Also if I copy the folder to the external SD card instead of the internal one, the MTP connection does not work and if I delete it again it works!
Can anyone confirm/reproduce this?
//edit: After looking to the content of the folder I would assume that the problem is that the MTP Application has a problem with specific file extensions since the folder only includes files with no or extreme long file extensions.
Thanks! same here, soundhound is the problem.
I must say that Soundhound itself is not the problem. The long file extensions of the saved files are the problem. They're more apps which use such files like e.g. the skyfire browser. Just delete them and it will work again.

Thanks a TON. I mounted my card in the data storage mode, opened the internal card in my computer and did a search for *.*, switched to detail view, sorted by file type. There were several files with long extensions in the folder "TunnyBrowser" which is created by DolphinBrowser HD. I uninstalled it, deleted the folder and now it connects fine again!
SoundHound + Kies issue fixed
Hi guys,
I am a developer at SoundHound and am responsible for our Android app. Sorry to hear about the problem you've been having with our app and the Samsung Kies software.
Just wanted to let you know that we've updated our app to be compatible with the Samsung Kies MTP sync software. As has been mentioned in this post, the problem is caused by files on the SD card with long or missing file extensions.
So please upgrade to the latest version of SoundHound on the Android Market. If you uninstalled SoundHound because of this issue, I hope you'll give us another shot!
Naturally, we can't do anything about other apps that generate these offending filenames.
If you continue to have any problems, please feel free to respond to this post or PM me.
Thanks!
Rico
I have been using windows mobile for the past 20 years I just got a new HTC Desire Z with OS Android my question is once I have installed Micro SD card for the life of me I can't find away to access it any help would be appreciated.
I'm not sure that I understand what you want. If you want to directly access files on the card, you need a file manager app. Astro is one that I don't believe requires root. Otherwise, apps and your camera automatically save data to your sdcard by default.
Another option is to plug it into your computer and turn on USB client mode when prompted.

Go to Settings>Storage, does your SD card space show up there?
Another option: Plug in your phone on the usb cable to your computer and try to acces storage mode.
Where do I find file manager Astro

Download it from the Market.
Oh, and this page might be helpful: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=801206
Well that was easy thanks guys for you help.
Once connected, on your device, open the Notifications screen and touch on “Select to change USB connection type”. Select Disk Drive Mode and touch Done.
Next, on your PC, go to My Computer and you will see a listing for your device which is actually the SD Card. Open that drive and make the desired changes.
No problem, and ofcourse: Welcome to Android!
Ok I down loaded Astro is says it is installed but I can't find it.

If it's downloaded and installed from the market, it should just appear on top of your app list in the app drawer.
Hi,
First post so please be gentle. I've got a Lg GT540 running 1.6 and wanted to install a couple of apps onto the phone internal memory, so I got the apk files onto my desktop and connected the phone up via usb and could not and have not been able to copy these files onto the internal memory. In fact the phone does not come up as a drive or anything and copying the files onto the sd card leaves them stuck there and not being installed.( Mainly the astro file manger app.)
I then considered upgrading the phone to 2.1 via the LG site and downloaded LG suite etc and all was going well until the process stopped at 4% upgrade and requested I disconnect from pc, remove battery etc etc. I tried to follow that procedure 3 times and it still failed.
Not beaten I then found some stuff online to enable me to reflash to 2.2 (Modaco) and started that process. One of the first things it required me to do was start the phone in Fastboot mode by holding the camera button down whilst powering up. THe phone stubbornly refused to go into Fast boot.
Sooo, How do I get to copy Astro onto the internal memory so I can do what I want to and/or how can I upgrade to 2.2/
Firstly when you try to get into fastboot it wont work until you install a fastboot kdz.
This will allow you to flash roms onto ur phone.
I've made a video on a "how to" its in the general, look trought the pages or visit www.YouTube/user/tech2tuts
There's also a video on how to install android 2.3 swiftdroid. Its on the same channel in the favorites.
But beware u will lose all you apps unfortunately. Unless you get astro file manager or titanium back up which requires your phone to be rooted.

Unable to install apps
Hi Chris, Thank you for the link to the demo and I will need to look at that with a view to implementing. No doubt I'll be asking for some assistance during the process.
However I'm still at a loss with not being able to install apps directly onto the phone memory and would appreciate some pointers on that. I have acess to a desktop running XP and a laptop running Windows 7.
Thanks in advance.
You probly cant install apps due to lack of internal memory. Bye install the Kdz it will enable over 230mb of internal , along with apps to sd, so no need for use of internal.
unable to install apps
Thanks again, but phone showing 3.6 gb avaiable on sd card and 120mb available on internal memory?
I really want to know why my pc connection only reads my sd card and not the internal memory. Is there an approved way of connection ie whether I need to use any LG software etc.
Hmm that's odd. When you connect to comp it should only show SD card, have u tried a factory reset?

Hi again,
have made some progress and managed to update the os to 2.1 off the LG site.
When usb plugged into pc it does read the sd card and I am able to copy files inc apps to it but do not know how to run them!!! My belief is that I need to install apps to the phone memory???
Ohhh i think i see your problem now.
So uve downloaded apps from this website or other?
And you want to know how to install them?
Get astro file manager or any other ones the same,connect your phone, put the Downloaded file into a folder , like downloads in your SD card then disconnect your phone , open astro the go into SD card and downloads folder and press on the app, it will ask you to install and Bam your done.
Or if its saying that ur not able to install it, go settings>applications>development>usb debugging tick it and also allow installation or 3rd party apps tick that to.
I think that what you mean?
Hi Chris, I think you are close to understanding my problem, I have a apk file of astro pro on my pc but am not sure where to copy it to. I have tried copying it onto my sd card but am then not able to run it?
Do I need to have the phone rooted etc?

The first thing to do would be to downlaod Astro Free from the market and then navigate to the sd (home on astro) and select the apk, open app manager and install, install. Now it will be installed.
Tap here and then tap download directly from market to download from market.

Yeah i understand. Follow these instructions. Astro is free on the market anyway. The pro version is no different.
A very big thank you to Chris and Quinney I actually had the Astro apk on my laptop and sent it across via Bluetooth and I'm now up and running, Only had bluetooth working since the update to 2.1
Wouldn't mind getting it to run a little faster though, I see people reporting 800mhz being smooth.
unable to install apps
Hi, thanks Chris and Quinney, Finally managed to send the Astro apk from my laptop via bluetooth and all my problems are behind me.
Thanks once again.
No problem.
When I connect my Nexus 4 to my PC things get a little weird. I've attached an image to show my problem. Some folders (for instance TitaniumBackup) show up as 0kb files. Also, some files that I deleted like the LTEhybrid zip still show up in explorer. Trying to delete the file does nothing in explorer, likely because it doesn't exist. Sometimes I can't copy files to or from my phone. I'll get an error that my phone is no longer responding or the copy dialog box will simply disappear. I'm hoping this issue can be resolved without restoring to factory settings.
I should note that changing to PTP seems to function better, but I can only access DCIM and Pictures.
Debugging on or off makes no difference. I'm running stock rom 4.3 rooted, although I've had this problem for as long as I can remember. The file system works perfectly fine on any app on my nexus 4. Does anyone have any ideas as to what is wrong or how it can be fixed?
Thanks.
I've not found a way to fix as of yet. It's a bug in mtp.
A quick reboot will force it to update properly then you can get your files. But the bug will happen again

Rebooting does not help. I've tried using a program named MyPhoneExplorer which seems to work well. I can copy things to and from my phone's storage and everything is displayed accurately.
Would it be safe to assume it's a problem with windows and not with my nexus?
Hi,
I'm currently using Root Browser to view my files. Under the storages list, it says that I have 2 extra internal storages, as shown in my screenshot. If I go into one, I get 2 folders, image and verinfo. These files can't be opened and deleting them doesn't do anything.
I just personally want to get rid of these files and those 2 storage entries because they just clutter up the app. I suspect it might be partly due to a few days ago when I tried going from rooted Nougat to the Oreo beta 3, which caused a lot of issues and I had to eventually wipe my phone because the data was lost.
Those two "internal storages" are actually the firmware and modem images of the phone. They shouldn't be deleted. They shouldn't even be displayed in the file manager.
Do not delete them, or you will brick your phone.

Thanks for the info. So it's just a problem with the file manager app then? I guess I should contact them and see what I can do.

I don't know if it's a problem (it may be voluntary, some people do need to access the firmware). Although I never encountered any file manager that displayed the firmware by default.
