[Q] USB file copy errors after rooting - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

New to the N7 - only had it for a few days and in the early days it was fine copying stuff to/from PC.
Now, after rooting, the xfer speed is much reduced (on multiple PCs) and quite often the copy process with timeout part way through.
Before rooting I quite happily copied 8GB onto the N7 but now I'm having trouble copying 20MB - sometimes it will copy, sometimes it won't. Just hangs. Need to remove USB cable and re-insert and copy in small chunks waiting for it to happen again.
Never seen this on my (rooted) One-X or Desire in the past.
I would ask if this was an artefact of MTP storage but it was fine before rooting. Rooting method was Wug's without installing a custom recovery.
Anything I can change or do to get this working reliably again?

Pre-rooting I could xfer 8GB with no problem. Filename currently being copied shows in the Windows Explorer diaglog box as it rattles through them.
Copying the same set of files and you can see it hang on a single filename for what seems like ages and then get a Windows 'device has timed-out error, skip or retry'. Both options fail.
It's not a case of leaving it 10-15 mins because it *fails*

I'm rooted with the stock rom at 4.2.1 and my Usb transfers are every bit as speedy as before rooting. Big files, little files, lots of files, doesn't matter. I get very fast transfers. I did do an fdr after the latest update.

[Q] Freezes, Metro Crashing

so a month after upgrading to windows 8 50% of the time when I try to open an app from the start screen it will open, not load, crash and kick me back to the regular desktop and the taskbar will be a solid color and then all of the items will come back. I think all of explorer is crashing and its getting on my nerves.
Also, my computer has started to lock up forcing a forced shutdown, but what's extra weird about this is when I boot back up it boots up faster than normal and everything is still loaded on my computer.
So I've decided the only thing I can do now is to clean refresh so I guess my question is which option of refreshing should I choose? I know the full one creates a windows.old file to recover the stuff I need but I was wondering if it'd be safe to use the keep my files option or if I shouldn't even risk it? Or if anyone knows of a fix (probably not going to happen)?
It sounds like your so-called "forced shutdowns" are actually putting the computer in sleep mode.
Make sure your system is fully up to date. There have been some performance, stability, and reliability updates for Win8 already. You don't need Metro to run Windows Update.
It's fine to try Refresh first, and if that doesn't fix things, go for a Reset. Generally, Refresh would work fine.

I had something like this, and a refresh didn't do it. I had to reset the laptop. I haven't put much on the laptop, so I deleted all files.
I attempted refresh, but after afterwards I couldn't access the internet from within the metro apps. It seemed to start with the most recent auto update, but after the reset I did the updates and everything is fine. What happened was that I was unable to run any metro apps at all. I could get to the desktop, but the metro side would be unavailable until I saw the taskbar flash a solid color. Then I could briefly go to the metro side, for about 10 seconds.

I'm getting this on one of my computers, interestingly it also has hdcp issues, im writing this up as a potential graphics issue, there are reports to back this up but nothing confirmed, if it is todo with graphics its not related to a single driver version, its almost completely random, this might suggest there is some conflict with driver, gpu, and whatever windows has built in for copy protection

thanks for the replies guys. it's definitely a weird problem as its only gotten progressively worse (stopped these last two days, no problems...don't know what happened haha) but I've got all my updated drivers from the sony website minus the BIOS cuz that slowed the hell out of my computer running windows 7 so I'm just avoiding sony drivers as much as possible
so turns out problem not gone. jinxed it, updated some things that weren't updated but something wont update correctly and idk why but I've got a final tomorrow so I'll figure it out another time

[Q] My Nexus 4 doesn't like being plugged into my PC

Hi all
Finally got my lovely Nexus 4
Rooted it to jellybean 4.2.1 and then started installing a few bits.
I've run into some problems with the usb connection though. It will frequently appear as if there's no internal memory, or it'll let me in the memory and won't let me do anything. For example, I was putting some files over onto it and the box in Windows popped up as usual with 'copying xyz to internal memory' but just hung, didn't make any progress. Similarly deleting files is troublesome and rarely works, I have to resort to rebooting my machine, reinstalling the Nexus 4 drivers and constantly unplugging and replugging the device.
I had the last straw this morning when I tried to move some photos from the device to my PC which aren't opening, giving me the error 'Windows Photo Viewer can't open this picture because the file appears to be damaged, corrupted or too large'. They are normal photos at ~2.5mb in size and work perfectly on the phone.
Any help would be appreciated as it's very annoying now!
Cheers
Anyone?
Are you transferring a large amount of files? The new mtp protocol seems to have trouble with that, at least on windows. I haven't seen the "no internal memory" error you mention but I have had constant corrupted files and crashes while trying to transfer +1000 photos for instance (I'm using stock, unrooted), to the point of making it impossible to finish. See also this bug report here. What you describe may or may not be this issue, but if it is I have no idea what the fix is; I've personally given up.

[Q] A500 strange behavior, please help

Good morning XDA, I've come to you this morning because of some ongoing issues with my A500. It all started a few months back when I decided to try out utorrent on my tablet, everything was running smoothly and the speeds were around 1MB/s down so no complaints there. Then suddenly my speeds drop off to almost nothing and nothing I tried short of a reboot fixed it...temporarily. Then I started noticing other things that just didn't make sense such as file downloads from the browser finishing incredibly fast only to find out the file was only partially downloaded. I've also noticed when I transfer files to the external SD or to a USB drive that sometimes the file copy/cut/paste/delete says unsuccessful using ES File Manager. Sometimes the file will transfer incredibly fast but when I look it's only partially transferred, sometimes when a file transfer fails on a copy the source file vanishes from my internal SD. Every so often when I put files on the micro SD and even a USB drive when I put it into my PC to tranfer files that way windows wants me to scan for errors. I notice when my tablet is showing these symptoms it's also quite laggy and it appears to happen after long periods of being on even if it's been asleep most of that time.
I did a factory reset and it seemed to help but only temporarily and I have no idea what's going on. I'm running stock ICS and I am not rooted. It's just strange that I can fix all the symptoms temporarily with a reboot but a few hours later it all comes back and I have to reboot again. Thinking maybe my micro SD was faulty I put all my music on my internal SD via USB but some of my music files have been corrupted with noise and random skipping through the tracks. When I transfer large files or even large amounts of files over USB to my PC it also makes my PC BSOD but that's a whole other can of worms.
Any help would be much appreciated, anything you need from me to help diagnose the problem will be provided, thanks in advance.

[Q] Phone Burn :)

Morning ladies and gents, apologies if this is a duplicate post but this one has me stumped.
Since yesterday when copying some video files to my galaxy note 3, the phone has started over heating and draining the battery.
This happens whether the phone is in use or in my pocket hence the title of the thread.
I deleted the video files i copied, ran a full scan removed any heavy use apps and 3 times it has had a full charge in the last 24 hours and it overheats within seconds. I did a soft reset, left the battery out for a while and again overheating.
Is there something obvious I am missing, the phone doesnt appear to lag at all, just get really hot.
It has been suggested I do a backup then full factory reset, but this seems a tad drastic. Can anyone suggest anything to help?
Thanks Everyone
Could it be something to do with that indexing thing that Android does?
Google it

Thanks fella, found a whole thread, looks like combined issues of SD card, pdf files and indexing.
Found a 1gb of PDF's on the sd card deleting now to see what happens
Update 2
Also i noticed yesterday when copying the video files it converted first before copying, so i have deleted all files and I am testing at the moment
Update 3
ok so i have resorted to formatting the SD card, removing it from the phone and seeing what happens
not sure if it is a faulty SD card
if all else fails I will full factory reset and then pray
Make sure to drop a .nomedia file in every folder that you don't need to see in the gallery/music player. That excludes all files in that folder (and folders inside that folder) from the mediascanner and indexing service.

I am interested in this my Note 3 Sm-n9005 started over heating the other day. It got really hot I had my usb stick attached otg never had problems before...originally thought it was the rom (Dirty Unicorns latest 4.4.4 Kit kat) when the phone got hot really slow to respond. I disconnected the usb.....factory wiped, then dalvick and cache. rebooted and still heating up really rapidly. Noticed OTG not working, then flashed samung based rom Omega 24 all is well no heating up, however OTG still not working.
Then restored Xnote 21 rom all good no heating up issues.....still no OTG...... phone working fine. But wonder if heating up has caused hardware issue....any help appreciated

Is it Possible to Recover a 5min Video From Your DCIM You Deleted?

Hi. I recently tried to transfer a video from my Galaxy S5 to my PC but for some reason, the piece of scrap decided to lag and fail the transfer. From there it gets glitchy. I unplug and replug the phone to see if that fixes it, and I still have trouble accessing it to transfer the video. Eventually after 3 or so replugs I am able to get in the DCIM file and try to transfer and it asks me if I want to replace the file (200MB with 490MB) so I assume it failed to transfer 100% so I hit yes. Thinking it was successful without testing if it worked or not, like an idiot, I deleted it from my folder using the PC. Most people delete their files by mistake on their phones, but I deleted it through the USB. The next day I tried to open the video, only to find that it is only 4KB... somehow the transfer mucked up even more that it isn't even a partial file. I'm pretty furious as I recorded some once in a lifetime events so I've wasted a lot of time and money on some programs to try to recover that single video but so far have proven fruitless. I just recover garbage files that I have never seen before, either from ads or facebook... none of them from my phone's camera.
So long story short, a transfer failed, I deleted the file on my phone using the PC, Dr Fone, EaseUS, Recuva, Diskdigger have all failed to recover even older videos from my phone, is it even possible to recover it at this point or am I wasting my time? :crying:
