So the mtp app data started reaching over 26 megs, and with the terrible internal storage on this phone, I decided to clear it. Now, media transfer mode doesn't work on my computer (Win 7 x64). I've tried reinstalling the driver, but it fails (but it worked before the clear).
Has anyone else experienced this? Mass storage mode still works.
I should also add, media transfer mode usually would take a few minutes, before the clear, before it actually did show up, when it worked.
I guess this should serve as a lesson to others of what not to do

It seems like a craps shoot for me if windows will recognize it... hell sometimes my notification bar tells me usb is connected but doesn't give me options to turn it on or off... and this is all with USB set to mass storage... is there possibly something I am doing wrong?
Like sometimes it hooks up without any issues, other times windows sees it, but after a few minutes says its failed to install a MTP USB device, so I have tried pointing it at the location where the sammy USB drivers were installed but nothing... I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling the drivers and manually switching them to other random things...
sometimes a reboot of the comp works it out, but other times it doesn't... I have the feeling I am just missing something...
Same here, except i'm on WinXp SP3. Get USB connected icon in notification bar of Vibrant, but windows task tray says failed to install device.
Looks like iffy drivers to me. Since samsung apps isn't available in the US yet, is there somewhere else we can get Kies?
The file you want for Windows 7 x64 is called GalaxyS_64.zip - worked perfect for me. Can't remember where I downloaded it from, though... uploading it now.
Edit: Here's the file you want.

That's the same thing I have tried installing a few dozen times before... still won't work.
There are multiple notifications you have to deal with on the phone. Took me a while to figure it out, too.
First you have to pick the mode you connect to W64 in (Mass Storage), then you actually have to mount the internal memory and card as drives for W64 to see them. This is all in the Notification bar on your phone. Just because you see the USB icon does NOT mean you are supposed to be connected.
THEN you get the "What do you want to do with this?" from Windows.
I got so tired of all the confirmations I just installed Dropbox. Now if I want a file on the phone I just drop it into my Phone Stuff directory and pick it up on my phone. No USB cable, no WiFi, just grab it and go.
If you're looking to xfer over a big batch of media files there is DoubleTwist and several other apps like it that will do so over WiFi.

Well I am installing dropbox because this is getting ridiculous... after a fresh flash it mounted once, then after that it wouldn't ever again. I tell it to mount to my computer and everything, but the computer just shows an icon that it is trying to install the drivers and never does... Come on samsung, stop being so proprietary...
Wow guys I didn't have any problems at all. USB Mass Storage worked the first time and it keeps working. Where I encounter problems is when I set it to USB Debugging then it doesn't get recognized.
ETA: I'm on Windows 7 x64 with all the current updates.
My windows is 32bit XP, but try this trick i've discovered, may be it will help. Say into voice dialer "Open SD card" -> check "Enable USB mass storage". Let's know how it works
Hey Degeneration, you can also install the Android SDK.
Unfortunately I can't post external links until I'm validated by a mod, but if you google "screenshot vibrant" (w/o the quotes) it should be the top link.
The domain is know your cell dot com and it has links to the Android SDK and the Java SE SDK in the instructions to take screenshots of your Vibrant.
I personally think you should try this because your phone may be defective. I'm running W7-64 Pro and didn't have to do anything to get the phone and the PC to see each other.
Wow I had no idea people were having this issue. I'm running Win 7 Ult. x64 and for me it was just plug in and go. When I was rooted on my G1 I had a similar issue but using USB Debug and the Android SDK fixed that. hope you get it figured out.
Yeah I'm on win7 and I installed the drivers and plugged in the phone and was good to go

I installed the drivers before ever plugging the phone in. I also have had SDK, adb, and Odin3 ready before plugging it in. When I first got it I immediateness set it to mass storage and didn't have a problem. Then when I started messing with it more I started having trouble every once in a while with it mounting, to the point that now it works every once in a while, mostly right after a fresh flash. Personally I think it's a combo of both the phone and the computer doing crap, but it's pretty lame. I don't even remember installing drivers for my G1, and definitely nothing else and I never had an issue with it. I don't see why samsung can't kiss a little butt or pay a little money to have windows recognize the phone and be able to install the drivers from the net. Now if the problem was just for people messing with their phones it would be one thing, then it's on me. But last night I was running stock again and it only worked the first time it connected, but I forgot to switch to mass media so I disconnected, switched, reconnected, and nothing. Tried switching back and same thing...
Constantly just keep getting told at best that windows failed to install an MTP (or whatever, I just closed the thing in the notification area and when I tried reconnecting the USB cable I got the phone just telling me USB is connected but giving no options) device failed to install...
bah... oh well
I just bought a zoom off of a friend and I have been enjoying it so far, that is until I tried putting my music onto it. I plugged into my pc (running windows 7 64 bit) and all was well, the drivers installed and I could access its internal memory. I copied all of my music and pasted into the music folder on the xoom and it will copy everything for about 5 minutes when a popup comes up in windows that says "Cannot copy [filename]. The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected." I have tried transferring the files with usb debugging enabled and disabled, I have tried keeping the screen on through the whole process, nothing works. Does anyone have any input? It does get some files onto the device before it pops the error up, so it's kind of working at least, but I'd rather not have to transfer 25+ gigs of music in batches of 250mb.
Before anybody flames me, I did some searching and I couldn't find anyone else with the same problem. If you've had better luck than I at finding information, please link me to it. Thanks in advance.
Copy-pasting is probably the same as batch-selecting, which has a limit as to how many selections can be made at a given time. Try copy-pasting the whole folder instead.
I normally use commandline, so for this, it's just XCOPY /S source target.

Dude, I also been having this problem with my recently updated Xperia Arc.
Tried to enable usb debugging, but still not working.
And then I changed my USB connection mode from MTP to Mass Storage and it worked.
Hi!
Is there already any way to fix the problem with the Xperia Play when it plugs into a PC in MTP mode and Windows can't install the driver or just doesn't allow to get in the folders of your phone?
Odd, it should just work with plug&play. Maybe you need the android sdk installed?
The Android SDK shouldn't be necessary and obviously doesn't do anything with this.
I want to use the mobile as MTP device and not a mass storage one, and Windows 7 van¡t install the proper driver, or if it installs it than sometimes doesn't detect the Xplay or takes very very veeeery long to detect it.
Any help?
Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64 bits user.
This problem has been there a long time, and I still haven't figured it out.
Your best shot is to continue using it as a mass storage device.
This issue is absurd. USB code 10 or whatever.
The only way around it is to use XP.
I was updating my motorola xoom a while a go and half way through the update the usb driver would kack itself.
The only solution is to try out a different usb port and hope that it works.
Update windows media play to 11 it should be fixed, worked for me at least
I just live with it and waiiiiiiit until it connects (long time sometimes).
If I just want to transfer files, I switch to mass storage mode, as the transfers are much much faster that way.
Yeah, I think it is a problem with sd cards above 16gbs. The driver takes over thirty seconds to read that data and then quits. It used to work every time like a charm, when I used an 8gb sd card, but after buying a 32gb one and filling it half way, now it never reads. Kinda sucks if you want to connect the phone through your wireless router the way it was designed to too. It just won't work whatsoever. Gotta use non native apps for that, which sometimes I do not like, because I like the phone to be cohesive and every little bit of app storage space I can get makes the phone run more smoothly.

So I have a stock nexus 4 I am trying to back up all of my data to my PC from, and for some reason it keeps trying to only transfer some of the files to my PC when I drag everything from the phone storage to my pc. I have the phone hooked up via usb cable from the phone using MTP connection.
Anyone have any ideas why this might be happening, or maybe how to fix it?
Did you do a media scan?
MTP sucks. Try using Airdroid or something similar. once you get used to it it's a lot faster.
Hey everybody, surprise surprise...I found an issue with the new adoptable storage feature in Android M on our beloved nexus player. I used an OTG cable to connect a 16GB Sandisk flash drive and the player recognized it and I was able to format it as internal storage.
I then installed The Walking Dead game to test out performance. I was actually surprised to find the performance to be more than acceptable so I downloaded all the episodes of the game. While the last episode was downloading my nexus player said it lost connection to my wifi. I checked and my wifi was running fine on every other device in my house so I figured I'd restart the nexus player to see if that cleared up the issue. It rebooted and I was connected again, however this is where I found the problem...
The game had disappeared as if it had never been installed. It wasn't on the homescreen or in the settings under Apps. It had completely vanished. Even under the Storage settings, the flash drive showed 14GB instead of the 12.9GB it was showing after I had installed the game originally.
I reinstalled the game and then restarted the nexus player to test. It happened again.
Has anyone else encountered this? If so, is there a reason that things just disappear after a restart? Is it a user error?
Please help if you can as I was excited about the possibility of actually having an adequate amount of storage on this device. 8GB is a joke...
It seems your USB is it write protect mode. You may need to have it forget the storage, reformat it on a computer, and then reinsert it into the nexus player. Ive encountered that issue on other operating system, especially if I formatted a drive so it seems android isn't an exception
I'm having all sorta of issues with external and internal storage. I have a USB otg cable with multiple ports I have 32gb flash drive setup as internal storage and a 1tb harddrive as external storage. When I plugged the flash drive in it connected fine, and set it up, then connected the harddrive and it instantly said the flash drive is not connected. So for some reason it kicked the flash drive off. I got the both to work by disconnecting the flash drive then reconnecting it. If I restart my nexus player, the it will boot up and the hard drive won't remount to it. But if I disconnect the power cable then it reboots and the hard drive stays mounted. But settings always says its not responding and asks me to exit it or wait.. Soo buggy. Pretty ****in redicolous its been around this long and its been buggy from the start.

For me everything is working, except for one issue - that might be happening to everybody: Once I reboot the Nexus Player, the USB storage doesn't automatically get re-mounted. I need to physically remove the USB stick and/or OTG cable and connect it again (while the Nexus Player is turned on). Since I usually don't reboot or shut off my Nexus Player, this is acceptable, but it's still not great. If this is designed properly, it should automatically remount it on every boot, as long as its connected.

I'm using a 64 GB drive (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LLEODCK) with this OTG cable (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00J631SU8) and don't see any issues. The problem that I am facing is, Nexus player doesn't recognize the drive if I connect it via a USB hub.
