File Transfer Problem with USB Connection

Hi All
Hope someone can help me out here.
I am having problem with connecting the USB cable for file transfers. It was working before until tonight. I keep getting this "initialising..." on the mobile screen when the USB cable is plugged in and it keeps flashing on the screen without establishing a proper connection with the computer. Kies has already been installed on the pc. Does anyone know why it's doing this? I'm unable to transfer files now and it's a problem for me.
On another note, is it possible at all to transfer files using the USB cable without installing Kies?
Regards

Yes. Go to USB settings and select mass storage. Your GS will connect as an external drive.

Sorry, I'm new to this Android thing.
How do you go to USB setting?

USB Nightmare..

My Galaxy Vibrant is driving me insane with USB problems. I bought mine about 2 weeks ago, and it connected fine to my PC. Then, out of the blue while turning it on it got stuck at the black screen with white touch lights on....after a few attempts to fix this, I returned it for a new Galaxy Vibrant. This new one will not be recognized by my desktop PC at all. It connects fine however to my laptop (same OS). I am trying to connect it as "USB Mass Storage" mode, without Kies installed at all (I've given up on this awful software). I've tried numerous USB Drivers that others have had success with but unfortunately they have not worked for me.
Drivers I've tried...
USB Drivers 1.3.170
USB Drivers 1.3.450
USB Drivers 1.3.800
Any words of wisdom are greatly appreciated.

Best would be to install and update kies so that drivers are the latest, then uninistall kies (or disable it, so you'd be able to update it without having to reinstall again)
Before that though, you might wana clean everything on the PC (ccleaner and glary Utilities might help you on that)

It seems that it was you or your PC problem rather than the phone.

mounting internal sd
Did you make sure to mount your sd when connected in mass storage mode?
slide down notifications bar -> select "usb connected" -> press "mount".
If you have done that and still no luck then I haven't the foggiest.

Try restarting the phone and then connect the USB. This technique worked for me.

What are classified as media files? This happened as soon as I got my phone...I haven't uploaded any music/videos and currently have no pictures.

Thank god for Froyo!
After updating my Firmware from my laptop (which would recognize my phone), I connected to my Desktop AND Kies with no issues

[Q] USB Mode not showing storage on PC to transfer Files

I am having trouble connecting the tab to my PC in USB Storage mode, I click on mount but the storage is still not showing on my PC. I have already enabled USb debugging mode.
I also happen to use an HTC desire which I happen to connect in USb everyday so I think i fairly know what am doing.
Any suggestion please

Try installing the software for the Gtab from samsungs internet site...
I had the same problem, but solved it with the samsung kies software package...

For mass storage mode, turn off USB debugging.

Shouldn't be required - I have USB debugging on almost permanently and have no trouble connecting via mass storage.

I too, have had issues when attempting to use the sd card as mass storage hooked up to my PC. I fixed it by turning off USB debugging, when I wanted to copy files to the Tab, then turning it back on after I was done copying files.

[Q] Internal storage Problem

Hi
I can't write anything from computer.
Phone itself working well. Internal storage itself working.
Using Liquid rom V1 ICS 4.0.4
thnks.

whats the actual problem?

internal storage
As a removal disk in computer i can't delete or write anything from the device.

Sounds like you're having trouble connecting USB storage mode to PC?
Usual culprit for this is reinstall Samsung drivers. They are notoriously inconsistent. Another thing to try is use a back USB port, ie one nearer mobo. If you're trying to connect via kies, there's a separate thread on that somewhere.

USB Mass storage was removed from Android somewhere between 4.0 and 4.1.
Only options are MTP, Photo, Kies and USB3.0 (only on a 3.0 port, and this is MTP.)
