My wife and I both have an HD2 Leo. Running the Android Nexus ROM. I am having a problem transferring files from my pc to my phone. I can transfer the files, but after there on the phone I can't see them in ES File Eplorer. I have tried refreshing the folder and even restarting the phone but the never show up. I can see the files in Windows explorer. I just started having this issue today and I've been using this ROM for about a week. Does anyone know what cause this? Did I change a setting ?
This happens on both phones and we're running windows 7 on the pc Android on the HD2 Leo. Thanks for your help !
I can even play the video through windows explorer by clicking on it in the folder that is actually located on the phone. So I know its there. Why can't I see it. . . hmmm
By any chance are you transferring the files while using android? Try letting windows mobile run, then using windows mobile transfer the files onto the phone. Lastly, boot into android and see if that works.
Let me know if it works or not.
Actually its funny you mentioned that. I did try that last night and it does work if I transfer in the Windows Rom. I can then see them in Droid. Whats strange is that I did not have to do that at first. Its like something changed then that happened and now I have to do that.

Tried searching this came up with nil, so sorry if this is repost.
When I first got my X1 transferring files from comp to phone was easy, either hit the explore button in activesync or just go through my computer. Shortly afterward (before I started modding tho I believe) I seem to have lost that ability. I can still open the explorer but once I dig down one or 2 files into the phone or storage card it just closes the window. No error or anything, the window I'm working in simply disappears. I've tried updating AS and I've installed a couple ROM's since then as well, so I am unsure whether the problem lies with my comp or my phone. Can anyone help here please?
Try another computer if you have access to one and see if you can browse through more folders.
If it works, the problem will be with your computer.
Hi Guys
I can connect my Leo via active sync and sync it with outlook, or add files to sync via the same method. But when I want to explore my device via my computer I can only view files. That goes to Leo itself and SD card. When I connect Leo as Diskdrive I can edit files on SD card.
Sorry, under Windows 7 Sync Centre I can create folders and copy files under Computer/"mydevice" on both the device itself and the memory card when connected using the phone's ActiveSync connection. I'm guessing you're using Vista or XP? Some helpful person here may ask you to confirm.
I use 7 as well.
However I had no problems with XDA Orbit/Orbit2, HTC Touch Diamond 2 under XP/Vista and 7. It is only HD2 that has a problem there.
Seems like drivers to me.

Well I want to re-arrange my start menu using my laptop. I active sync it and navigate to my device\windows\start menu\programs. In there if I try to move/copy/delete/create new files/folders/shortcuts I get access denied. I want to copy more wallpapers to my documents\wallpapers and get the same error.
I want to copy files to my SD card and get access denied. I can open the files, like music or pictures, to view but that is it.
I also can not copy any files out of the device to desktop.

Getting "access denied" seems to indicate you do not have the proper authority to access the files. This is just a wild guess, but you may try it anyway. Right click on the Windows Mobile Device program, and check properties. There is an option to run the program as administrator under the Compatibility tab. Maybe this will give you the authority you need to access these files. For me, no problems, running Windows 7 Ultimate, 64 bit.

I am really curious about the logical steps you used to reach the conclusion that his laptop is infected, and why you suggest the only solution is to reinstall Windows. Even if his computer were infected, is not reinstalling Windows a rather extreme solution? Surely a good antivirus program or running HouseCall is a much more reasonable solution.
So basically you can browse the folders of the SD and the storage, but you cannot process any files.
Other than the protected shortcuts (most of the supplied shortcuts are system and readonly) I do not have any access problems via activesync.
Is your USBtoPC set to ActiveSync?
Sorry if this is the wrong section...
I am using Energy Rom, radio 2.15.50.14 and HyperDroidV1.7★CM6★michyprima's R11+AXI★FINAL VERSION
I'm having trouble conecting my phone to my pc while on android. There is no problem when wm 6.5 is on. And i have no idea where the problem is. I've tried droidexplorer , it found my phone, but showed it as empty.
So if anyone can give me a solution.
anyone ?
what are you trying to accomplish, I use the bluetopia build with a windows 7 machine, and usb usb mass storage to move files, and htc sync for contacts or anything else. both work fine.
Its like my PC doesn't recongnize the phone (when android is on)... Like i haven't plugged anything.
I ended up having to use these drivers in order to get adb to work for me as the phone wasn't recognized on my pc either. Should also work for root explorer as well. I cannot remember who originally posted these drivers so I don't take credit for the discovery. Hope this helps.
i've installed it, but how can i transfer files to my phone ? Cus i cant see it anywhere. I tried droid explorer (think this is the correct name) but it doesnt recognize it...

Why don't you just set up ADB?
Gudie for setup
What version of windows are you using? Have you installed the android sdk? Is usb debugging checked?
I'm wondering what others file transfer workaround is.
For larger movie files (1-2GB), I have been uploading one by one to Dropbox, then downloading onto my tab. But this is awfully time consuming.
Anyone have a better workaround until File Transfer recognizes the 10.1?
I'm really confused by all these threads about file transfer not working
I have had no problems whatsoever
is it because you are using a mac?
i have file transfer problems, too. trying to transfer a huge file / large number of files via usb and windows file explorer just aborts the transfer after a few minutes without any error message.
currently im using "wifi explorer" fpr transmitting files to my tablet. it's a cool app i've already been using on my android phone, too. with this tool you can access your tablet/phone with a browser (web-interface), once you've started wifi explorer and you're connected to your wifi.
It's not so much so a specifically Mac issue or Windows machine issue, apparently quite a few of the IO tabs just simply cannot or won't be recognized by either OS. I know of this first hand cuz neither my Mac nor Windows 7 ultimate machines see my tab.
Uplinked through my mind
I found out that the computer won't pick up your device if USB Debugging mode is on. After I disabled that and had the KIES drivers installed, Windows picked up the device without any problems.

Hello,
I've recently purchased my Nexus 7 and it's a great device, except for an infuriating problem.
Yesterday, I was able to copy files straight to the tablet from Windows. Today, every file hangs at 'calculating' and then proceeds to crash windows explorer and require me to pull out the usb cable.
I have tried usb debugging on/off, renaming the files to give different extensions and still nothing copies over. Only tiny files manage to, at around 600kb each.
TL;DR: I was able to copy multiple file types to my Nexus 7, now I can't copy anything bigger than a tiny photo.
Thanks!
Isn't MTP "great"? Wish Google will get it and bring back to USB Mass Storage.
We all remember how bad file-copying by ActiveSync was and that's why UMS took off as a much more robust solution.
Do you know how to fix the problem though? I can RAR my files and then copy them, but that is impractical.

I've tried using bulk file copy programs, but it says the destination is invalid.
I wonder if that is because the PC reads the Nexus as a media player, and not mass storage.
Has anyone fixed it yet?
Same problem here. WiFi Explorer works to copy the files. Not as fast but worked for me. I use the Pro Version, here's a link:

Have you tried simply renaming the file extension to something different until you get the file transfered over?
I'm stuck at work or I would take a look at it myself.

Have to agree with you, MTP is hopeless. I've tried to copy a Titanium Backup folder numerous times and it never does a complete copy. How pathetic is this!
I've had to resort to using SMB with Ghost Commander and that is very slow! There must be a better way! Help!
mtp is horrific...

Same here. It copies about 70% of the files from the Titanium Backup folder in Nexus7... and then stops (as if completed). But when I check the destination folder on my PC, 30% aren`t transferred. How can we have such pathetic file transfer, in `this` day and age?

Currently copying the files to a separate folder on my computer then cutting those files onto my nexus
7 works for me but is bothersome most of the time.
I just copied a 350Mb folder of files to the N7. It took 30 seconds. Then I copied it back to my desktop and it took 21 seconds. I'm stock, rooted, 4.21, usb debugging on with MTP, using the original usb3 cable plugged into a rear usb port. There must be something else going on with your devices.
I also noticed that problem. But discovered that it only show up when you start "Play music". If you have started the app and would copy something just reboot . works for me!
Nexus 7 32G, European stock rom
I have the same problems as stated before. But i also noted this: when i add a new folder anywhere on the devices memory with Astro, for example a folder with pictures and shortly after i want to copy that folder to my PC. The created folder is missing and nowhere to be found while browsing the device via usb in windows explorer. Even after rebooting the pc and nexus7. Its like the index of files doesn't get refreshed often. When i tried again a few days later, the folder appeared in explorer just fine.

Only time I have seen this problem was when I tried to copy files directly to the root of the storage directory. Try copying to an existing folder on your nexus and see if it still fails.

I shut off my Bluetooth and the problem went away.
Had greater luck with this renaming or, zipping the files. It seems if the file extension isn't recognized as being handled that it will be denied after it finishes copying.

I had the same problem two days ago ... ijust ignored it and the next day everything was working fine ... i guess try restart PC and Tab both
Try this
If you have wifi, try Airdroid! Worked for me! & when the cheapo charging port gets loose, get a "Qi" charging station. Lay your device on it and it charges right through the case, wirelessly.
