Hi there,
has any one had an issue where windows explorer (I use directory opus) freezes when trying to open certain folders when browsing the device connected to their computer?
Sorry if this has been brought up before.
Cheers

whether it's with the usb cable or the desktop cradle the sync between the phone and the desktop doesn't last for very long, it can vaey from 1min to 5min and is a real pain when it drops out whilst downloading a program.
Sometimes the display on the phone says it's syncing but if I look on the pc there is no sign of it in either windows explorer or the snyc centre (using vista), is this a vista problem or hardware/software problem with the phone.
thanks in advance

i used to have this problem... assuming you have already tried disabling the firewall and AV to see if it cures the problem (disconnect from the net first!)...
Firstly are you using WM6 or WM5?
if you are using WM6 then go to settings->Connections->USB to PC and untick enable advanced network functionality
if you are using WM5 then download the file (supplied by dopod) that makes the usb work using the serial protocol. the instructions are in the ZIP file, extract the cab file, copy it to your PDA (you may have to use a SD card reader if you cannot connect for long enough to send it or if not that use a SD slot on a Digital camera?) then find the file on your Prophet and install the rest is in the readme file.
ah shoot just read your running vista so probably not that! nevermind its something to try!
thanks for that, managed to put some videos on without the device crashing at long last
i have some problems that i don't know how to solve:
1. my computer is a vista one, and for some reason stoped recognizing my usb cradle. i don't know what to d. it says that the usb is not receognizable.
2. the settings option dissapeard from my pocket pc unit. i can't find it even with search and file explorer.
3. i have a memoty problem, and i heard that there s a software managing the distribution of the memory differantly.
many thanks to you all.
The Galaxy S4 is my frist Android device, but I am wondering if this is normal...
I moved some files via camera mode to an SD-Folder... dokuments, music... something like this.
When reconnecting the device via usb, the files are no longer shown in explorer (pc), but they are still shown in my files exlorer (s4).
Is this normal?

hey guys.
i just tried copying an avi file from my pc to the phone. i had already selected Media device (USB 3.0) in the pull down menu.
first it disconnected as it had initially first connected via Media device (MTP) and then reconnected and brought the auto play dialogue up. after a few seconds it disconnected itslef again and then reconnected. it seems to randomly want to disconnect and reconnect when it wants to.
even while it was apparently still reconnected, i tried to copy a file over to it and it first said i might not be able to play the file did i want to copy it anyway, i clicked yes, then it says the device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected even though it still appears to be connected.
if i switch back to MTP it still warns about maybe not playing the file but then after clicking to still copy across, it copies fine.
i am running windows 7. i have used this usb 3.0 port fine with a usb thumb stick i have. also, windows says it has installed the device successfully when i click over to usb 3.0.
so.... any ideas why it randomly wants to dis/re connect? and why will it not copy across even when it appears connected?
thanks guys.

Make sure you have the latest Samsung USB drivers on your PC. If you think you do, I would go to the device manager and uninstall your phone from the device list and then let it reinstall the drivers. Downloading Kies 3 also installs the drivers on your PC.

thanks mate but i have already tried them.
it does charge fine so i'm not sure whether it is a power issue but the issue of it disconnecting must have something to do with not transferring anything over even though it still appears connected when i am trying.
i read somewhere that due to it's quicker data transfer, the pc and device need to send much quicker signals to each other to let them know that they're still attached. by using an extension lead inbetween the device and usb 3.0 socket i was delaying that signal sufficiently to make the pc keep thinking the phone wasn't attached anymore. i removed the extension lead and sure enough it copied across fine.
the odd thing is that both a usb thumb drive and my 2tb backup external HDD work fine over the extension. maybe the note 3 is slower at sending that signal to start with? dont know but it now works.
Hi Guys
I have two identical phones S5's one is a spare so does not have a sim card. The one I use I can plug it into a usb on my computer the computer beeps and it shows up in windows explorer. The second I plug into my computer it peeps the same sound but does not show up in explorer. If I have Device manager open and expand the USB folder it refreshes but no new devices not like the first phone where is refreshes and I see a new entry. Both phones have usb debugging on.
Any ideas
P.S. If I pull down the menu from the top and click on the options for USB then pick Transferring Images (transfer images and other files via a PTPconnectionif MTP is not avaliable) then I can see the phone in Explorer but Odin does not see the phone. If I pick Transferring media files (Transfer media files to a computer via an MTP connection) then the phone dissapears from Explorer.
Whats going on The phone that works of in USB options i pick Transfering media files and all is well whats going on with this second phone
Thanks
Rick
The phone Im having trouble with has updated to 6.0.1 Where the phone that is working is still at 5.1.1
