[Q] USB connection to Win7 laptop?

I can't seem to make the USB connection between my 7.7lte tab and my Win7 laptop. I want to xfer my music (16GB) and don't want to waste time over wifi to do it -- anyone else having this problem?

Try installing Samsung Kies. That should provide Windows with the drivers it needs to see the 7.7 as an MTP device.

I don't believe that Windows 7 needs additional drivers. Since the first time I connected my device I am able to transfer files between two Tab and my PC. If your PC is set to install drivers automatically (default option) you should not have problems seeing it as a connected "Portable Device".

It may be an issue with my Win7 laptop. I replaced the HD a week or so ago and cloned the original HD using Acronis but Windows update no longer works so it may be something broken with my laptop. I'll swap back the original HD and see if that helps...

Your Tab also should be unlocked...if mine is on the lockscreen when I plug it in to my Win7 laptop I have to unlock it before Windows sees it.

I definitely don't have this issue; I just turn the screen off immediately after it pops on from being plugged in. It shows up in windows explorer after maybe 10-15 seconds.

Using Xperia Z2 Tablet as a Secondary display for Windows

How to use your Tablet Z2 or any other android tablet or phone as a secondary display with Windows 7, 8 or 10 (Duplicate or Extend Screen)​Recently my tablet screen got cracked which left me heart broken :crying: . So I decided to use it as a secondary display for my laptop.
It can be done by two ways 1) Using WiFi 2) Using USB Cable
1) Download Kinoni Remote Desktop app for both laptop and your device and connect them both to the same Wifi Network (Internet not required). Simply connect and you will be able to mirror your desktop screen on your device.
2) Download TwomonUSB for both of your devices. Install ADB drivers and on your laptop and remember to turn on USB Debugging Mod on your Android device. Now just open the app after connecting the USB cable and enjoy both mirroring and Extended display on your Android Device.​
This method will work on Windows 7, 8 and 10. I have made a video running windows 10 on my Tablet Z2 with Extended display ​

Very interesting, thanks for the tips..

No..... It was kept inside my laptop bag and i dont know what happened. Something heavy came in contact with it which cracked its screen in a very unusual manner.

How do I connect my laptop to my smart TV wirelessly?

Hi friends,
I need a little help. I bought a new Android TV, but I am not able to connect it with my laptop.
It could be a problem with the television or laptop.
So I was wondering if a standard laptop is required for that or if I need to install any third-party apps for this because someone suggested I get a smart processor laptop, such as an Intel evo, for this.
Is this mandatory to have an Intel Evo laptop to connect to a smart TV?.

Im sure any laptop running windows can connect to Smart Tv's?
Both must be on same wifi or tv Via WIre and laptop via wifi?
In windows settings look under Devices if tv not there click on add device and it should search and when you
see you're tv click on it to add? they you should be able to mirror you're pc etc?
