i have 2 problems with media go:
1) once i connect the phone, it gets stuck 'generating thumbnails'. i have 55 pics and it always gets stuck after a few files. anywhere at 12/55 to 40/55. I can never get it to finish generating.
2) i have some iphone videos that I want to transfer to the phone. i was able to add them easily to the library and when i ask it to transfer to phone, the step goes to 94% but never completes. the cpu usage of my PC indicates that it finished transcoding but never finishes copying.
I even tried copying in USB transfer mode, but that also never completes. Tried swaping out the USB cable as well but that did nothing.

Connect it in the Mass Storage Mode, pull the status bar and mount the SD Card. Go to My Computer (or whatever it's called ); copy the video using right click or shortcut from original source and navigate to the whichever directory you want in your SD Card to copy the video and paste it. Done .
There is one more way if you want to use the media-go.
Before connecting it to the computer, go to settings and storage and unmount the sd card.
Click on the notification of safe to remove the card.
Now mount your card and after a few seconds connect it to your computer and open media-go
Wait for sometime till it finishes the generating of thumbnails else your transfers get stuck arround 90%.
I did it and it worked for me. Check if it does for you too

Ok, seems pretty straight forward. plug in USB, slide down notification select turn on USB mass storage. open folder on PC, click drag files to designated locations. Reboot to get the files to show up in astro.
Now here's my problem. Half the files i transfer over are fine the other half, transfer over with no data behind them. 0kb. i transferred over about 10 ringtones, 5 wallpapers and 2 .apks
About 4 ringtones work, the others show up in astro, but have no data, i finally got all the wallpapers to work, after file transferring several times. and 1 .apk worked and the other doesn't.
It seems to be sporadic, as in, i transferred over the set of wallpapers i'd say 10 times. Out of the 10 time, the first 9 it was a different wallpaper(or couple) that would have no data, the last time they finally all went over as they should have.
This is getting rather irritating, I've searched the forums and the only help I've found is about the reboot phone to get them to show up in Astro. Any advice/assistance?
TL;DR- Half the files i transfer from PC to SD card, have no data attached to them, it's just a filename. Seems sporadic.
Maybe DroidExplorer can help you, if your PC is under Windows.
Actually, there was one file in particular that kept showing up as 0bytes. and this time, i actually read what it said on the "Turn off USB storage" screen. It says: Before turning off USB storage, make sure you have unmounted ("ejected") your Android's SD card from your computer.
So i actually did that, and the file transferred. I'll test a few more things to see if that's the case.
Never in my life of owning a PC have i ever used the "Safe to remove hardware" taskbar thing. I've always just yanked the USB cord. Never had a problem :X
Edit: That seems to have helped immensely, but hasn't solved the problem fully. Just transferred over 20 wallpapers, and only 2 show up as 0 bytes. So, maybe i'm on the right tack, i'll try the DroidExplorer see if that helps.
Anyone with advice or a solution, I welcome your $0.02

Try dropbox till all the kinks get worked out. Its free and saves you atleast 2gig storage on your sdcard.
When I try to copy large movie files onto the Fire, it crashes after a while. It becomes a black screen and when I manually reboot, it stays at a black screen. This happened on two different roms. Does anyone else have this? I found that transferring through TWRP is much faster and it does not cause crashes.
Are you using USB mass storage? It gets stuck with large files, it's better to use AirDroid or something similar to transfer everything via WiFi
I have a really weird problem:
Everytime I try to transfer files to my G2, in the middle of the process it stops, then it gets stuck, and if I cancel it - I can't view My Computer, it keeps loading and loading and nothing shows up, until I unplug the device, then My Computer returns to usual. It happens EVERYTIME! I can't transfer music or photos.. please help.
Nevermind, it was a problem in the Paranoid rom.
Can't copy files via USB, just gets stuck on "Calculating the time required to copy"
I'm trying to back up my entire 20GB of data on my Note 4 before I wipe it and root it. I'd like to do that via USB because of how massive it is. But it's not letting me. I plug my phone into my PC, use the MTP connection method, and I can browse my phone just fine. I can even copy individual files just fine. But as soon as I try to copy a folder, or multiple folders, it gets stuck on "Calculating the time required to copy the files". Even if I only select two folders that only have a single text file each. A file copy that should happen near instantly, doesn't happen after hours.
I've googled the issue and it seems pretty rare - has anyone found a workaround for this? I've tried different USB cables, different USB ports, resetting the phone, resetting the PC, but nothing seems to work!
I ve got a similar problem while backing up my whole data. Often the transfer starts after letting em calculate for a while (>15 min).
Sometimes a phone restart fixes the issue for one try and in very rare cases i retry it the next day.
I dont know what is causing th problem. I also know that this is not a apprpriate workaround.
There's a pretty big size man. I think you should try to wait a little more longer.
If the problem perssist then you should try reinstalling your device driver or use a party software like MobileGO.
Give a try and reply back
No, it wasn't size. If I went into the Camera folder, selected 4GB worth of pictures, and hit ctrl-C, then hit ctrl-V on my harddrive, it copied just fine. Took a while to copy, but there was no "calculating the time required to copy these files" dialog at all.
But if I select two or more FOLDERS, even if the total file size of all folders is less than 1MB, it gets stuck on "calculating the time" dialog, and I waited about an hour and then gave up. I ended up just copying to a USB OTG thumb drive on my phone, and then copying off that thumb drive to my PC.
2 issues i'm currently having.
1) samsung pay asks for fingerprint or pin verification. neither option works. PIN does a quick "loading" icon and loads the same screen it was just on. fingerprint will do a loading icon for longer and go back to the screen asking if i want to use fingerprint or PIN.
2) phone keeps disconnecting from PC during microSD card transfer. trying to transfer my music, every single time it fails about 10% of the way through (though on a different song each time). About to just take the idiot card out and simply transfer using an external reader. I ran into this exact same issue with my galaxy s3 as well, the phone kept disconnecting every time i tried to do a larger transfer.

On the Samsung Pay issue, have you disabled anything using Package Disabler Pro? I had this happen on the Note 5 and it was because one of the Samsung processes I disabled made this happened. I enabled everything and tried it and then it worked. Once I had my card set-up I was able to disable everything again with no issues.
As for issue 2 I have no idea on that.

That happens if the app gets disabled and re-enabled or messed with in basically any form. Just go to apps, clear cache and data of Samsung Pay and Samsung Pay Framework, then uninstall any updates to both of the apps, reboot and open the Samsung Pay stub app in the app drawer (the one that installed the real Samsung Pay; it has the same icon). Should work again after doing the above. c:.
As far as your SD card, that could be a bad SD card or MTP/Driver issue. Personally, I've been able to transfer over 100GB of stuff to my SD card, so it's probably one of the formerly mentioned.
On the SDcard transfer I had similar issues. I was using my own generic USB cable so on a whim I used the original Samsung cable and voila no more errors. So try that to see if it works for you.
Tried a different USB port and the transfer worked. Still closed the window and windows said that it cant display the contents of the drive till the transfer is done (weird).
For the samsung pay thing i havent disabled anything and i tried the clear cache thing but not for the pay framework part. I'll try whats listed and update.
got it working
