Hi,
EDIT * I have found a solution in that I can connect via WI fi so that's pretty good but if anyone can help me with the USB issue, it would still be appreciated. It seems that the Wi Fi connection is more limited as I am unable to view things in explorer *
hoping to get some help using my USB to connect to my PC. I've installed Kies but when I try to connect to my PC it just keeps on trying to connect but never actually does it.
I have looked for guidance on this but keep coming across the instructions to go into 'about phone > USB settings' etc etc. However, I do not have a USB settings in about phone. In fact, there is nothing at all about USB in About Phone. I do have a 'USB Utilities' in Wireless and Networks but all that gives me the option to do is 'Connect Storage to PC'. I have a memory card in my phone.
When I do connect to the USB cable, with Kies open, when windows 'finds new hardware' it keeps saying a problem occurred during installation.
Please can anyone help me out? All I want to do is basically drag and drop some files from my PC to my phone. Thanks very much for your help.
Settings --> Applications -- Development --> USB debugging.
Thanks for that!
It got me a little further. I also unmounted then remounted the SD card. However, when I try to connect via kies I now get the message:
Reconnect the device in Samsung Kies (PC Studio) mode. Current connection mode not supported by Kies.
What am I doing wrong? Do I have to re click the USB settings on the phone before connecting to Kies now that it's installed the hardware on my PC?

Turn off USB-Debugging
Don't connect phone yet
Open Kies
Open the Tools menu -> Troubleshoot connection error
Go through the guide and let it reinstall the drivers.
Connect you phone, and let it connect
The default setting has the USB debugging tick greyed out. When I select it, it asks me if I want to allow debugging.
Do you mean that I shouldn't allow debugging and then connect (after reinstalling Kies) or should I allow it and connect? Sorry for my noobishness, Android is all completely new to me.
You should untick the USB-debugging - Then reinstall drivers NOT entire Kies
OK, it's unticked and I'm reinstalling the drivers via troubleshooting.
Do I need to unmount then remount the SD card before connecting my phone? Thanks for your help btw.
Shouldn't make a difference
Bah, I still have the same problem. It just says that there was a problem installing the hardware when I plugged in the phone.
After reinstalling the drivers, i shut down Kies then reopened it. I then plugged in the USB and then plugged the USB into my phone.
When I first installed Kies yesterday, Microsoft Active Sync kept on trying to activate and ask for a CD. It kept on holding up Kies. In the end I uninstalled Active Sync. Also, I still have Samsung PC Studio on my PC from when I had a Samsung a few years ago. It was one of those old slider phones, not a smart phone. Could that be part of the problem? I was hoping to keep it because it's proved to have the best media player I've ever had.
I just don't know what I'm doing wrong here.
Try without restarting Kies.
What part of the drivers aren't installed? (Check device manager)
In Device Manager, under Portable Devices there's something called Android MTP that has an exclamation mark next to it. It says it's not configured correctly and that 'No driver files are required or have been loaded for this device'. I'll reinstall the Kies drivers now.
Thanks for this help mljjlm
P.S. Now that I've unplugged the phone, the MTP thing isn't showing in the device manager list anymore.

Of course, it's a part of the phone, and it should not be plugged in because they would have to force a reboot when reinstalling drivers (which might sort your problem btw)
Reinstalled the Kies Drivers and then plugged in my phone but got the same problem. It says a problem occurred. Same device now has a problem in device manager. Maybe I should just uninstall everything and restart? Should I uninstall the old PC studio too?
Just try the reboot without uninstalling anything and then plug the phone in when your pc has booted
Argh! Still didn't work! I think there must be a problem with my PC, well, I'll try doing full uninstalls and reinstall it all. I have to go now as well so I'll have to try again tomorrow.
Thanks very much for your patience mljjlm. It has been greatly appreciated
Are you trying to just transfer files back and forth? If so... forget using Kies.
(I don't have a micro-USB cable with me currently, so this is all from memory)
Just remove the drivers from your device manager so it's like your machine has never seen your phone before. Then on your phone enable usb-debugging.
When you then plug in your phone, you should get a usb icon up top on your phone's display... pull the window-shade down and click on the USB connection button. You should get a fullscreen window on your phone that says something like USB Connection with the friendly android waiving.
Now your PC should see your phone as a standard USB mass storage device.
try plugging the usb cable in another usb port on your computer and than try again.

You're using Kies, that's what you're doing wrong. You said in your very first post you wanted to be able to drag and drop some files from your PC to your phone, so use USB debugging (say yes when it asks you) and Windows Explorer.
If you are using a custom rom like Checkrom Revolution you will need to install the kies support from kitchen pro.
Also are you using the cable that came with your phone?
I have found a few microUSB cables that will allow charge and wont allow data transfer like the new ones for nokia devices and some blackberrys.
It worked! The USB debugging thing!
Thanks to everyone who helped me out. The forum said I was limited to 5 thanks per day so if you didn't get one of the thanks I apologise. Thanks very much!
I'm running OTA 4.0.3 (Acer_AV041_A500_1.033.00_PA_CUS1) rooted with I don't know what tool, but rooted after upgrading to 4.0.3, and using one of the tools found here which was the latest (at the time of rooting). The tablet has an "A500 Root Tools" app which has options to enter APX mode amongst other things.
I'm unable to get my Acer to connect to my PC via USB. I tried using both a mini(?)-usb cable and an A-A cable. My acer makes no notification, and there's no visible, or audible, evidence that anything was connected. USB Debugging enabled and disabled makes no difference. The tablet shows absolutely no sign that anything was plugged in. Nothing in notifications, nothing in any file managers.
Likewise on both a Windows 7 PC, and a Windows Vista machine. No little sound saying I plugged something in. Nothing listed in device manager. Nothing anywhere. The Win7 machine has the Acer drivers installed, as it is the machine I used to root it a few months ago.
Is there some weird ICS toggle that I need to perform to get this working? I know my USB ports are working as I've plugged in USB sticks and it mounts them without issue.
At the end of the day, I'm just wanting to flash my bootloader so that I can install CWM and a custom ROM. If there's a way to do that without needing my PC connected, that would make me equally happy.

Reinstall the Acer Drivers and also the Google drivers from the android sdk if u have that installed, if not use the adb_fast.zip attached. For you to successfully flash the BL do not underestimate the importance of having the drivers correctly installed - its the cause of 90% of the problems folks have had - my advice is to keep Device Manager open the whole time so you can see what is or isn't installing - dont proceed with the flash until you are sure they are - else you'll be looking at a downgrade to HC to fix things
you can also use Acer Recovery Installer from the market to install a custom recovery
While I appreciate your help, my issue is not drivers - Windows isn't loading the wrong drivers, or no drivers at all. Windows is showing no sign at all, at all, in device manger, any where, that a tablet has been plugged in. Like wise, the tablet gives ZERO notifications on being plugged in to a PC. Nothing. No sounds. No notification. Nothing.
I was originally using the micro(?) usb slot, and it was not working. I assumed that USB slot was dead. So I went and bought a USB A-A cable - after testing the normal USB slot and established it works - and it, too, does absolutely nothing when plugging the device into a PC.
I've since tested with an Ubuntu 12.04 machine as well. dmesg lists nothing.

and the adb interface driver thats not showing in device manager?? and you have the acer drivers installed??
All the signs are pointing to no drivers, failing that its sounding like a hardware issue either yr tab or cable - can u try on another pc/laptop?
Tested it on a Win 7 Dell, on a Vista Dell, and on an Ubuntu 12.04 Compaq. None show any sign of the device being connected.
I know my *two* micro USB cords work as my Nooks (color and tablet) have no problem with them. I know the large USB slot works as I've plugged in a keyboard and a USB memory stick and both are immediately detected by android.
I've also done a factory reset on the tab. Problem persists, obviously.
I'm actually setting up stock Win7 on another laptop right now. When it's complete I'll install acer drivers and plug in the tablet. It will be the only USB device, let alone android, to ever be plugged in to it.

The tool you used to root it (icsRoot) also has an unroot tool, which you could have used...I have tried to unroot manually which wasnt easy as I had a pre-rooted rom and I had real trouble getting rid of superuser, but in your case it may be a bit different....Sorry can't give you much help in the unrooting ics dept. Maybe try flashing acer stock rom??? or starting a new thread??

windowz explorer doesnt show your int/ext storage??
more info needed, what rom and bootloader, what OS on yr pc can u try on a different one, try a different cable and usb port..
have you run the acer drivers setup.exe
did u install the android usb ones
have u opened a command prompt from the folder where adb.exe is and run "adb devices"...does a number show??
when u have device manager open and connect yr cable do you see the drivers install. If they are there then uninstall them, disconnect yr cable and clean boot and reconnect.
If they do not install then manually install by pointing them to the folder you extracted the zip to...for the acer ones, just point it to your c: drive
If windows trys to install them, stop the hardware wizard from searching windows update and manually install them yourself.
If you've tried to flash the bootloader and it hasnt completed for what ever reason - you can strike issues such as yours - again, uninstall, clean boot, reconnect, manual install

That's correct, a straight USB "A to A" won't work. Further, I discovered something else; not all micro-usb cables are created equally! I was using a cable that worked fine on my Thunderbolt phone, would not work at all on my A500. Turned out there's some enhancements to the pinouts on the newer micro-usb devices. So the lesson here is go with the cable that came with the device if at all possible.
Seriously though, give a different micro-usb cable a shot; they're pretty cheap around the interwebz.
When I connect my Nexus 7 to my Windows XP (SP3) PC via USB, it's obvious the computer recognizes it and it tries to install ADB drivers. Whether I choose to install those drivers or not, I still can't locate my device in the Windows Explorer Tree. I checked Disk Management for the hell of it and nothing but my PC's harddrives were there. There's an attempt to install drivers for "MTP" but that fails and I'm pretty sure that's the cause; however, I'm unable to replicate it, even as I uninstall/reinstall applicable drivers from the device manager the MTP failure never happens anymore. I did some googling and found a thread with someone who had a similiar experience. In turn, I downloaded https://www.box.com/s/2c25e8bc42ecce400afd to try a different set of drivers. Same problem. Driver install is fine for ADB, but still unable to see my device in Windows Explorer. I'm able to successfully connect the device to the PC with PTP for the camera. I can access DCIM and cache which can serve as a work around, but I'm hoping you can provide any ideas you might have. Thank you!
edit - ***resolution***: Ok, I figured it out...I had to disable USB debugging. I don't know if this helped either, but I installed these drivers as an alternative to the drivers that were originally installed: https://www.box.com/s/2c25e8bc42ecce400afd
While connected to PC, I switched to PTP mode because I was about to give up and just use that
I then disabled usb debugging and switched back to MTP at which point the drivers successfully installed and I could now view my device in Windows Explorer. I also believe downloading the drivers in the link above helped since the first crack I took at this was unsuccessful with existing drivers.
install pdanet on pc and it will install drivers for u so it will be recognized

Been battling with this on my XP machine since yesterday. I couldn't even get debugging to work until I installed NakedDriver. And even still, there seems to be no way to get MTP to work without turning debugging off. On my Win7 machine everything worked perfectly, both ADB and MTP, right out of the box. I have the Galaxy Nexus drivers installed on both machines (which I've read are compatible with the N7). I also have the latest version of Windows Media Player (I've read that some older versions have issues with MTP). Is anyone else able to run ADB and MTP on XP?
*edit*
A: Does PDAnet let you use MTP and ADB simultaneously? Because I really don't want to install it if I don't have to. I got rid of it ages ago (too many things starting up at boot time).
B: I have a Galaxy Nexus also, and I have no issues on the XP box.
I wouldn't bother with MTP, it's not always showing the contents of the internal storage properly when viewed in Windows Explorer.
Earlier today when I was trying to set up a backup profile for it, it didn't copy all the files off. On closer inspection I found folders like TitaniumBackup to be completely empty, which is not true according to ES File Explorer on the tablet.
I tried connecting MTP again, with USB Debugging on and off but this made no difference. Also I'm only seeing the Notifications folder instead of 36 folders on the internal storage now, really random how it's working.

Same observation here (a few months later) on stock Android 4.1.1 rooted.
It seems that new files in the internal memory remain invisible for a long time, but so far they have become visible eventually, sometimes a day or two later. I have no clue what could possibly cause this, and I have not found any trick or workaround that makes them visible, not even rebooting. Any hint is welcome.

Hi,
I tried to install kies 3.0 but I couldn't because kies 3.0 needs XP SP3 and above. My PC runs XP SP2.
I installed the latest usb drivers (I tried with 1.5.27.0 and after that 1.5.29.0) and still have the issue.
I do not want to root my device.
no root=no file tranfer:good:

Wrong. - You can plug it into your PC and open the device choose Movies/Download/Music/random folder etc and copy across.
As for the issue, it could be because the file is an old XVID codec, sometimes phones hate XVID, and obviously SP2 isn't exactly the best update you can use, Can you try and get SP3? - If not, try using KIES as stated previously Or a WiFi transfer app.
If you can't get Kies 3.0 installed because of OS issues, try installing the latest of Kies 2. At the least, it should install proper USB drivers so you can at least see the device. You don't have USB 3 hardware, so you don't need any of the latest additions the driver supports, and I know the previous Kies drivers worked to see the Note 3 when I first got it. Kies wouldn't support it, but at least I could transfer files.
The first message (about an incompatible file type) is an Android bug. Ignore it, it happens on every device for nearly ecery filetype (even jpeg) and with every connected OS.
Because the file type is not recognized as an Android file type by Windows, it tells you that the device can't natively play that file. You'd need an app. Which we have, called Stock Player or Gallery or any media app, but Windows can't see installed apps on Android.
It has nothing to do with vodecs or containers or root. It's just Windows being ridiculous.
Just say Yes To All.
As for the can not copy.. My TF700 does this, because it disconnects whenever the screen turns off. Are you using a battery saver that disabled connections when the screen is off?
You don't need root or KIES or USB debugging or any other bull**** to use filetransfer to a PC. Just a cable and a USB port.
Anyone who seems to think otherwise is an idiot who aparently isn't even capable of connecting a cable and opening Windows Explorer.

Hi,
I tried with the latest Kies version before kies 3.0. Actually my PC recognizes Note 3 but I have still the issue. I tried with several file types - avi file, as I mentioned below, doc file, mp3 file. First message appears, I click on yes to all and after that the second one appears and I click on skip all. Actually I tried with all opportunities - still have the issue, the files cannot be copy on the phone.
I use the stock battery saver and DU battery saver app from google play. I checked the options but I didn't find any option which disconnects the device when the screen is off.
I think its an issue with transferring large files. Every time I try to tranfer a file around the size of say 2 or 3 gb i get that error.
When connected, drag down the notification center, click usb options(or however its called) and swap from mtp to ptp mode
hit 'thanks' if i helped you

4. Copy file-message appears that file not supported, still continue and voilà.
Hi,
I tied with both mods mtp and ptp - no success. These days I'll try with kies 3.0 but first I will have to update my XP to SP3.
Hello, I am having a rather strange problem. My PC did the dreaded auto upgrade to windows 10 the other day and I also got a new Nexus 6P. It seems my computer won't recognize my phone, at all, when I plug it in via USB. It's not even showing up in the device manager as a problem, it's like nothing happens at all.
I have
- downloaded and installed the latest google usb driver (right click install)
- downloaded the latest mtp drivers
- downloaded official nexus package from Huawei
- installed ADB and android SDK and also reinstalled the drivers from the SDK manager.
- downloaded some update for windows media player as someone mentioned that could be the problem
- tried different cables
- tried different ports (usb 3 too)
I am really at a loss. My work computer works just fine with it so I know the phone and the cable are okay and other things work on those ports on my home computer. By the way the computer is Windows 10 pro - 64bit

Have you installed Google USB Driver for nexus 6p? If not, download Google USB Driver, extract it and save it in your any name folder that you can locate it later, plug n6p in your pc or laptop and it should pop up with USB option to select either file transfer or picture transfer, click one of them, Windows should be able to find n6p driver, if not, go to setting on your pc, device manager, then look at highlighted USB of your nexus 6p whether it is properly installed, if not, then install it by finding the driver that you extracted in that specific folder... Hoping this works for you.

Thanks for the response, but yea I already got the new usb drivers and installed them via right click install. The thing is though that in device manager the phone doesnt show up, at all, not even as a problem device. Its like its not there. The phone shows that its charging, but it doesn't recognize that its plugged into a usb port. Im really unsure what to do about this.

Did you install x64 driver from Google USB Driver? Check to see to make sure your USB android debugging is checked. It is kind of odd, try to reboot your pc and nexus 6p, then plug your phone in different USB port if your pc has extra USB port..

Should be on top of the folder that your extracted...
Ah I see what you are referring to. Well, here is the thing, how do I install those drivers? Remember I cant find it device manager to update the drivers. The only way I could find to install them was to right click the android_winusb.inf file and choose install. It said it installed okay, but of course its not working. Any idea?
By the way, I also have usb debugging on and usb configuration WAS set to MTP, but I just changed it to try the different variations, but now its stuck on charging and wont change to MTP, but I think its because the phone isnt being recognized by the computer because this morning at the office I was able to change the usb type to mtp and the others, but that computer recognized the phone... AGHHHH WTF

By the way, if your Android debugging on or check? Just turn "developer options" on your phone and then check Android Debugging. To install x64 USB Driver, on your pc, control panel, device Manager, look for phone USB Driver to see it has some kind of yellow triangle, if so update x64 driver from your extracted folder...

Hey Lucky, I really appreciate you helping me out here, but just so you know I am no newb with this kinda stuff. I have went through this process on a couple other computers with no problem, so when I say its not showing up in device manager I mean its literally not there. Its not there and just under some other name or with a problem icon, its literally not in the device list. Also, I do have usb debugging on

Please go to YouTube and type "install usb driver on nexus 6p" search and then follow instructions from the video... Good luck.
WAIT! I got it... Wow I would of never thought this, but apprently my Wacom was the problem. As soon as I unplogged my wacom tablet the phone picked right up... Strange... Anyways, case closed... freaking conflicts!
Okay hold on, still having problems. Well, now the computer dings when I plug it in, but it still doesnt show up. However when I change the phone usb to PTP the phone becomes visible on the pc in windows explorer (but still not in device manager) and when I put it to MTP it disconnects and I cant see it in windows explorer anymore, and still cant find it in device manager... Ugh...
Okay sorry for all the messages, but i did get the MTP working. I had to uninstall the reinstall the drivers a couple times... very strange, but whatever its working... yay!

Did you figure out the problem? I'm having the exact same problem with mine and with USB mode not switching from Charging and the PC not even recognizing a USB device was plugged in.
I found using a different cable solved my problem. Don't really know why cause the first one I used seemed fine and worked to charge it, but by using a different one, Win 10 recognized it and got me in the game.
