Win7 64 not recognizing 10.1

Is anyone else having an issue with Windows 7 not recognizing the Tab?
When I connect via USB, all I get is "USB device is not recognized". I tried loading the drivers from Samsung's website, but the install failed.
Thank you to the community here. I have been reading all of the threads in this forum and gaining a lot of really useful information. I appreciate any help you can offer.

I get USB device not recognized too. However if you wait a few moments, it may still show up as a mass storage device in Windows Explorer.
If it doesn't, make sure USB debugging is disabled in Settings\Applications\Development.

mine said that but...
I installed the driver under win home 7 and when plugging the device it:
said device attached
then loading driver for usb device
then it did say driver not loaded for device but...
when I moved out of the locked home screen it comes up with black screen with usb icon in the middle with connected and press the home key to quick Samsung Kies underneath. It says MTP Application in top left corner of screen. When I goto explorer it's listed as a portable device called GT-P7510 mobile phone
when I double click is says
tablet 26.9 of 27.9 free
double click on that and I see filesystem with:
Alarms
Android
DCIM
Dowload
Movies
Music
Notifications
Pictures
Podcasts
Ringtones
samsungapps
TunnyBrowser
and a file called beforeTime.ini

same issue
If I try to copy anything over-my screen completely freezes and I have to power cycle my laptop. I installed Kies and it looks like the drivers are working- but something just isnt right.

Samsung really screwed everyone on this. Win7, Mac, and Linux users all have problems. They should have just enabled USB mass storage support.

win7
I had no issues and I have a win7 64bit asus ep121 tab. I loaded Anchorman onto my GT and it even asked if I wantwd to convert it from mpeg4.x

I also connected it to my 64-bit W7 without any problems, after a few seconds I could see it's internal storage and start copying files.

Everything working flawlessly here .... Win 7 Pro 64. Sounds like some errant USB devices causing conflict. Run the attached program and remove all old, deleted or unused USB devices than reinstall Samsung drivers.

win7 pc can't find acer a500

acer a500 is FLEXREAPER R10 4.0.22
pc is win7 64-bit professional. acer usb driver has installed on pc.
yet, when i connect pc and a500 with usb wire, i can't see anything shown on pc. no mobile equipment, no u-key, nothing.
could someone do me a favor to tell me how to solve.

w7
Try another USB port.
or
Try to install again the drivers
or
Try another computer...
cheers

...and USB debugging enabled

finding your tablet in win7
@ yypp:
Not sure what flavor of win 7 you're running or what your host machine is. BUT...
If you have windows 7 professional, and have a Intel Sandybridge style processor (like I3-2310, I5-whatever, I7-whatever...), you have available to you bluetooth and WiFi enable with the Intel My WiFi Tech.
Turn on your bluetooth and Wifi on your tablet...
Goto start; devices; ADD device. It will look for it. It will find it either as a bluetooth or a WiFi compatible device. Then add your tablet. Give it a snappy name, so on.
I had similar problem, yypp. However, once my laptop recognized my tablet via bluetooth, the USB debugger then acknowledged it already stored as that bluetooth device.
There are work-arounds available to you. The bonus of adding it as a WiFi device is you can then tether the two to your smartphone as well for a PAN.
Ciao.

Hello,
quite the same config (with a DELL T7500)
same problem.
I tried to add the Acer drivers.
but for a strange reason, to install the driver, I have to install windows media player 11.
which is not possible under seven 64 Bits !
result : the instllation cancel the install, without telling a clear error message on the screen.
Acer could have limit the software installed without WMP 11
but canceling the install of the drivers itself when there is not WMP11, is not really good.
anyway, the tablet should be visible from scratch under windows Seven.
it is a pity.
my iphone (my previous HTC desire HD) are recognised imediatly on this computer.
so bad.
on my side, I didn't found any solution.
Best regards,
Olivier

wauw.... what's all this bluetooth crap? solutions:
Your'e problem could have several causes. time to eliminate them:
Open up your windows start menu
enter "device manager" in your searchfield
(on other languages you could try: rightclick my computer, properties, and in the left pane there should be device manager).
now connect your iconia to your pc using the cable
1: if you see iconia tab with a white icon and an exclamtion mark in the list:
right-click it
in the first pane you should see the problem
in the second pane you can update drivers
if this is not working go to http://www.acer.nl/ac/nl/NL/content/drivers and download them again.
2: if you see your device popping up normaly (under media devices)
no problem... the problem consists with some part of your computer that needs the attention of a proffesional. go see your computer distributor
3: there's nothing in the list...
try connecting your tab using an other cable and try using the cable you have on another android device
Is your iconia showing info when you connect it? mine says debugging enabled and iconia sync.
you could ultimately try to plug your tab in to an other pc or boot up linux and try to connect your device from there... on www.ubuntu.com you can download a cd that can be used to try the system without install.
Good luck!

I have a 64 bit windows 7 with windows media player 12,
please note that the device is recognised by windows as a Stand-alone Media Device...........
like the old active sync cellphones did. iconia connects to your computer using windows media player.
if you are terrified about this do it like me:
go buy a usb-disk
put everything you want on your tab on it
plug it in to the tab
install "ES File explorer"
browse the contents of your usb drive and copy them over
PRO's:
get data everywhere, no need to install drivers on your friends computers
you can't copy virusses from windows pc's to your tab's hidden sectors when having such a bridge, unless they are in the mp3's you move.
faster speed since the connection speed with windows media device sync is very slow.
CONS
takes some time to put it on the disk and to grab it from it...
other thingy
when you are in the same network as your computer you could try to copy them over using the network feature in ES File Explorer. just like network places in windows.

[Q] Cannot access Kindle in Windows

I have had my Kindle Fire for a week or two and decided to try to play with it.
My main problem is that when I plug the Kindle into the USB port on my PC (running Windows 7), it will only recognize the device in My Computer as a regular disk drive. An entry for "Removable Disk F:\" drive comes up, but when I click to open it, it says, "Please insert a disk into Removable Disk (F:\)". Now, this didn't always happen. When I first got the KF, I copied a few ebooks from my PC onto the KF through the USB port.
For the life of me, I cannot figure out why this is happening. For some reason I think it has something to do with the drivers that Windows is trying to use with the KF. I've tried all kinds of combinations of rebooting the KF, unplugging/plugging it in, rebooting the PC, etc. Once or twice I have gotten to where I'm able to access it, but not consistently at all. I should also say that I did root it with KFU, and now I've installed Android SDK and ADB. It will usually recognize the device via ADB, but not always. I've also installed TWRP 2.0 and the most recent FireFireFire.
When I look at the properties of the device's hardware, it lists several things: Amazon Kindle USB Device, Android Composite ADB Interface, F:\, USB Composite Device, and USB Mass Storage Device (all under the properties of the Kindle).
Does anyone have any idea whatsoever of why this is happening? Possibly the drivers on the PC? I also read somewhere that some micro USB cables are cheaply made and don't work as well. The one I'm using is the one that came with my BlackBerry.
Any thoughts or help would be much appreciated.

Try this
u remember when u downloaded kindle fire utility? and u use the run program in there? well there is another program in there called "install drivers" launch that and it should install the drivers for ur KF. tell me what happens
Edit: i just checked it is actually called "install_drivers"

I did that at the very beginning of all this.

here's what I did and I have never had any problems with the kindle fire. I plugged my kindle in and then I went into device manager and uninstalled all the drivers for the Kindle Fire. The I unplugged my kindle fire and plugged it back in and let the drivers install again. Since then I haven't had any problems.

mabey the cords a dud cord try a difernet one mabey and also try wiggleing the cord some times theres a break and if you wiggle it it may make the corect wires touch each outher again IDK? Just try it.

Before I buy a new cord, I'd like to explore other alternatives. Also I don't know if I really understand how the computer could only "partially" recognize the KF. When I plug it in, the computer instantly recognizes that something is connected -- in My Computer, a new removable drive pops up as soon as I connect it. It just doesn't recognize it as a device that I can transfer files to. That's why I thought it was a driver issues, but I've installed the drivers that came with KFU.

I used to have a Samsung micro-usb cable and it worked beautifully. Then I bought a Sony Ericsson cable and it weirds out on me sometimes.
I suppose BlackBerry has good standards but still, if its old, try a new one.

My PC doesn't recognize my Nexus 7 2013

I have an Asus Nexus 7 tablet that over a year ago I rooted and flashed and maybe a few other things, I don't fully remember, but I did get it to run the Nitrogen OS successfully, and since then I've used it with no problems. But the other day I plugged it into my PC via USB cable as I always do when I want to load a movie or whatever, and this time my PC refused to have anything to do with it. Immediately upon plugging it into my desktop's USB 3.0 (2.0 port does the same thing) I get this Windows 10 notification: "USB Device Not Recognized. The last USB device you connected to this computer has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize it." When I check under Device Manager I see a yellow triangle warning under Universal Serial Bus controllers that says, "Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)." And that's as far as I can go. There is no mention of ASUS, Nexus, or Android anywhere else in Device Manager. I've checked under all the headings.
It seems Windows 10 knows something has been connected when I plug in via USB but it doesn't know what to do with the device. I've searched the Internet high and low for a solution but nothing works. Here's what I've tried:
1) Uninstalled the yellow triangle error driver from Device Manager, checked for new hardware, got the yellow triangle back.
2) Tried updating driver but "You have the latest driver installed."
3) Tried installing USB driver from Google and "the operation completed successfully" but the problem remains even after reboot.
4) Went to Developer Options and ensured USB debugging is turned on and MTP is selected in USB Configuration. When I turn USB Debugging on and off with the Nexus connected via USB, Windows 10 reacts, but only to tell me with each change that I have an "unknown USB device attached," basically all the original error messages. I get the same errors whether I'm set for MTP or Camera or charge only or any of the other options.
5) Learned others have found a bad cable can cause my problem so I located three spare cables around the house and none worked. So I ordered a fresh new data cable from Amazon which arrived today -- but the problem remains.
6) I have a triple-boot PC. All three OS installations are Win10 but installed separately on different drives -- one of them is from the Microsoft Insider program, so should be the latest and greatest -- but I have the exact same problem on all three.
7) Wondered if maybe Linux would work so tried Knoppix live boot disk and even did a full installation of Zorin on a separate HDD. Neither version of Linux recognized that any Android device was attached. I even ran a "find-mtp" Linux program but it saw nothing.
8) Installed Wondershare Mobile Go and Syncios Data Transfer -- both are programs for dealing with Android devices via USB on a PC -- and neither sees my Nexus. And I guess there's no way they could as the Nexus doesn't appear in Device Manager.
8) Reset the Nexus to factory settings. All my apps and so forth are gone but the problem remains exactly the same.
I've been at this for about a week now so there are probably other things I've tried and forgotten about but nothing has worked. If I had another Android device I'd see if the computer recognizes it via USB but I don't have one. Maybe I can get a friend to help me out. I'm grasping at straws.
One more thing -- I don't remember whether I've ever before communicated with this Nexus on my current computer. In May of this year my old Asus MBO failed and I've built a new computer around an Asus Prime X299-A. It's working great, its USB ports are giving me no problems with anything else I throw at them, but I'm wondering of maybe I've got something set wrong in BIOS (UEFI). I've gone through every USB setting I can find in BIOS and no changes offered seem appropriate. But I've tried them this way and that with no apparent effect. And as I said, USB 3.0 and 2.0 are working great for everything else.
And when I wrote that last paragraph it hit me that I should try the spare PC I keep in a closet. Duh. So,
9) Tried a different PC, a spare Win10 system I built from spare parts from my old system plus an el cheapo MBO. This is a TOTALLY DIFFERENT COMPUTER -- but the problem is exactly the same.
It can't be the Nitrogen OS -- I just can't go there. It's been working perfectly for over a year, no glitches whatsoever. How could it suddenly decide to stop connecting via USB? I've pulled all my hair -- totally bald now, but that didn't work either. Any other ideas? Anybody? Toss the Nexus in the trash? That would be no fun. And it does work, though with the factory reset I've erased all the kids movies I was keeping on it for the young ones who occasionally visit and I have no way to put them back. I dunno what to try next ....

Other things to try
Windows 7 or better yet XP
Disable your anti-virus on your pc
Make sure usb debugging turned on for the tablet.
Use an app like drivedroid to see what usb setting work with your phone. (Not what the app is meant for, but the settings wizard is pretty helpful.)
Worst case:
Use the Nexus Root Kit to unroot and return the device to factory image, then reroot and install latest twrp and image of your choice.

My Nexus 7 2013 connects straight up With Windows 7 Professional on a Lenova M92p "desktop". The Nexus is set via Developer Options for USB Configuration of "MTP (Media Transfer Protocol)". Upon plugging in the Nexus to the Win 7 machine, on the Nexus you swipe down to see a menu for USB options, which defaults to Charging. Then you set it to File Transfers, and Windows autoplay then asks what you want to do, one option of which is "Open Device to View Files". That is Windows 7, which works! In Windows 7 the Nexus 7 appears in Device Manager under Portable Devices.
Windows 10 Professional, which I have on my XPS 13 9370, does not even acknowledge that there is a device connected under Portable Devices. Under Unknown Devices, when right-clicking to Update Driver and choosing among those for Portable Devices, there are many MTP devices from 4 manufacturers including Microsoft (including Kodak 4800 Digital Camera) but none of them load. I get "The device cannot start. (Code 10)". I've read that the correct one is "MTP USB Device" but neither that one nor any MTP device driver loads. Stuck!!

I replied earlier but being lazy I didn't log in so here we go again so you'll see I'm the OP. My Win10 Pro desktop recognizes my Nexus 7 nicely since I halfway pried the back off the Nexus and then snapped it back in place. Yep, that's all it took. Apparently something was loose or misaligned inside the Nexus and just fiddling with it fixed it. Yay.

Your issue is not similar to the OP who had no connectivity at all in different PCs.
The issue is the driver in your case, may be a clash of drivers. Install USBDview in the PC and using it, uninstall every driver related to USB. Don't worry, since Windows will reinstall any driver needed as and when the peripherals are connected. Restart the PC and disable 'driver signing' and any antivirus program including Windows Defender. Now connect the tab and check if the correct drivers are installed and the tab is recognised. If not, try to update the driver in Device Manager. If even that doesn't work, you may have to reinstall Windows.

USB not available HD 8 (2018)

Hi,
I am a bit of a Newb to the fire, but have the developer tools going and USB debugging engaged, but when the tablet is connected to either of two Win 10 computers, it does not show up as any kind of device, and in the settings of the tab the USB conneciton is greyed out (presumable because no connection is detected). The tablet charges fine, though. I tried installing fire USB drivers from a link on Amazon, but windows reported they did not install correctly (I had admin privileges too). Has anyone encountered this? My other Android devices are discovered by windows very easily. Sorry if this is obvious somehow...

Turn debugging OFF. That gets in the way of doing what you want.
Debugging is only if you need to send ADB commands to the tablet. Not for straight file transfers.
After turning it off, then your tablet will show up as a device in Windows.
But, the storage won't show up until you pull down from the top on the tablet > tap "USB charging this device" > tap "Transfer files". Then, you can click on the device in Windows and see "Internal storage", and an SD card if you have one in the tablet.
You didn't need to do this in the previous 7th get HD8. Before, it was in file transfer mode by default when you connected the USB to a PC. But the 8th gens changed that. I guess it's the difference between the older tablet OS being based on Android 5, and the new ones now based on Android 7.

Thanks, I did that, and nothing changed. When I pull down from the top, there is no USB notification (though the charging icon works and is visible at the top of the screen).

Have you tried using a different USB cable?

Yes, thanks I have, on two different win 10 computers. So I figured it was something to do with the tablet.
