Hi all,
I have a Tab 7.7 and an MBP running Lion. When I attach the device using a USB cable I can see it via adb but Android File Transfer says that no android device is connected.
Can anybody help fix this please

i'm having the same problem...
i've also tried to use Windows, but still cannot copy any files to the microsd or internal memory
When you connect via USB to a Windows PC, do you see "MTP-Connected" in the notification tray on the tab? If so, you should be able to see it as "GT-P6800" in "Devices and Printers" (in Windows 7). I'm guessing that Vista should be the same. Can't say for XP though.
Almost forgot. Don't bother double clicking on the "GT-P6800" icon. Right-click on it, choose "browse files". Alternatively, the same icon should be showing up in "Computer" under "Portable Devices". You can double click that.
Note that I already have Samsung Kies installed on the PC.
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 here. No change with the Asus drivers. Still can't use MTP when ADB is turned on.
poo. how do I transfer my audiobooks to this stupid device without working drivers?
1. Please disconnect Nexus7
2. Remove drivers on PC.
3. Toggle ON : Settings->Wireless&Networkings->More->NFC.
4. Re-connect device
Good luck !

1. Uncheck MTP, check the one next to it (Camera)
2. Unplug USB
3. Turn off USB Debugging (Uncheck it)
4. Plug in USB
5. Should say connected as camera, then a new window will pop-up allowing you to see your files.
Tell me if it works!
im having trouble too, is there any way to make the device to be recognised as a flash drive?

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.

Didn't work. Just shows up as a camera with the limited folder access one would expect.
Workaround
I now use the following workaround.
Install SDrescan from Google Play.
Run it.
If you already had your phone connected to a computer as a media device (MTP) and are watching the contents of your SD card or internal memory in Windows Explorer, press F5 to refresh your view. If not, connect it now.
I'd be curious whether this works for you as well. If it does, press the THANKS button below.

Good day, normally when I plug-in my other Android Devices on PC, I'll see them on "My Computer" and can see the files like a normal drive, but with the Nexus 7 I get nothing, I also tried to install the Nexus 7 Toolkit for the drivers, but still can't access the files. I'm on 4.2.1 right now, anybody can help? Thanks in advance!
I installed the drivers from the 'Wugfresh nexus root toolkit', installed the android sdk, installed the pda.net app on the N7 and the win version of pda.net on the pc and then the connection worked. Some have had to go into 'device manager' on the pc and uninstall any reference to the nexus or unknown devices and connect again. Also, usb debugging should be on and you should set the n7 to mtp mode. It is almost always a driver issue.
If you want you can use even airdroid via Wi-Fi connection.

The Nexus uses the MTP mode to connect to your computer. This mode works best on a recent Windows operating systems with Windows Media Player 13 or better. The Nexus will appear as a Device - usually Nexus7.
Just search this forum for MTP for help with Windows XP, Linux and Apple systems.
Will this work on Windows 7? I tried to check updates on Windows Media Player 12 and it says I already have the latest version, no device on My Computer for my Nexus 7..

It should just work on a Windows 7 computer - it did on mine. Try turning the Nexus fully off, connecting it to the computer and then turning on the Nexus. I noticed mine updated some drivers when I did this.
Also try another USB cable as those do fail.
If you're looking to transfer stuff like music, video and ect. You can do that over wifi by using an app on the Google play store called airdroid. I use the very same app to transfer files.

I'm on Windows 7 Home 64 Bit, I tried turning it on while plugged on my laptop but still no luck. All my other android devices works fine, it's just the Nexus 7 that is problematic.. I also tried AirDroid, not so good with large files especially movies when I travel
Are you connected to the internet with your windows7 pc?
Maybe it can't download the necessary files/drivers?

Is "USB Debugging" off in settings - developer options? Maybe also leave developer options off for now.
I got USB Debugging off, I'm on 4.2.1. Still no luck.. I just use AirDroid now even though its very slow for me..
Well I just connected my Nexus 7 to my PC and straight away my PC asked me if I wanted to view Nexus 7 files.
My PC is running Windows 7 64 bit.
I am able to look what is in the Nexus and I am also able to add or delete files as I want - great. :good:
I solved my problem with transferring large files, I didn't realize it's very simple, instead of MTP I just chose PTP and Windows detected it as a portable device, tranferred files from my PC to the Nexus 7's DCIM folder. Unplug the USB then just move them anywhere on the device's storage using a file manager.. It's that simple..

SOLVED:
in device messenger, right click on 'unknown device' and update driver/browse my computer../let me pick from list.../portable device/Manufacturer(standard MTP device)/MTP USB device
say YES to install anyway (even though it will blow up the world). after install, unknown device changes to Nexus 7 (or 10 I would hope, but I have 7), this also fixes problem with my Kindle Fire HD 7.
YaY!

I found the same results after rooting my Nexus. Uninstalling WUGs toolkit and restarting restored the MTP mode and ADB also continues to work. This won't erase any backups you've made. If not WUGs maybe something else you've added is blocking the MTP mode.
Sorry I still can't figure it out. I am on stock rom, with root access. I have debug usb enabled. I can connect it as PTP or MTP....with PTP, the nexus 7 is displayed as 'nexus 7' and I can access the DCIM and picture cache folder (pretty useless....). With MTP, the device won't even be detected by windows. It will not search for drivers.
My target is to be able to write bigger files...I am speaking about 1 gigabyte or more. Through WiFi it would be a pain...if it is a picture or even a collection of a few hundreds megabytes....ok, I could do it, but sometimes I need to move GBs of things, and with wifi is obviously too slow....so how do I get to move this stuff via usb? I thought even copying from PC to usb stick, and then copying from stick to nexus (with usb host....stickmount or usb host or another app) would be even faster than doing everything via wifi, but it is just lame.
HELP!
edit: sorry I feel like I have an ipad (grrrr)...never had problems with other android devices

drumtrucker, I think you're on to something here, but you meant "Device Manager" which may be found either in your start menu or by pressing windowsKey+r and typing "control" then hitting enter.

When I move some files to mnt/sdcard on my phone and connect the USB cable, the files don't show on Windows XP computer.
On another thread it was explained that the MTP service doesn't automatically index files but an app called SDrescan can
do it manually. I found out that restarting the phone makes the files available on the computer.
Is there better way to do this?
Is this only a WindowsXP issue?
[edit]
It's now clear that this is an issue with Android.
How did it work on older versions? I'm running 4.2.1

I have the same problem on Fedora Linux using MTPFS. I gave up on MTP and use adb to push & pull files or directories. I have seen people recommend airdroid. But never used it myself. You can also try Droid Explorer.
Yeah, that's an issue on MTP's side, not XP or 7
Hi guys,
I have an issue with my Note 3. I connected my device to my PC via the original usb cable. I tried to transfer files from my PC to Note 3 but no success. Every time same messages appear (check the attached files). My PC runs Win XP SP 2 and I think all usb ports are 2.0.
I tried to transfer files with USB debbuging enabled on the smartphone but no success, same messages appear.
I have success only via Bluetooth.
P.S. My device is not rooted and I don't want to root it.
Please help me.
Thanks in advance.

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

Don't use XP as it doesn't know what vfat is. If you're gona use XP then format your SD card as fat but you will have a 2GB file limit.
Large files use Win7 or a 3rd party app.

Follow these steps:

2. Install kies 3 with all usb drivers.
3. Connect phone, open kies, open phone folder top right corner in kies.
4. Copy file-message appears that file not supported, still continue and voilà.
