so for my computer running on windows xp, it can't really access the files/storage in it. In mtp mode, it connects as mtp music player.. it runs auto play but gives me blank options, and it doesnt show up on My Computer. the camera one is just displaying camera stuff...
most computers i can access can connect and transfer files to the nexus 4 or have different issues. i primary use the one running on xp, is there a way to fix this?
the mtp music player pops up regardless of stock/custom rom and usb debugging.

MTP and Windows XP do not properly work together.
I had the same problems. Hopefully this helps you or someone else with the same.
What I found that worked for me was
-make sure usb debugging is off
-use the generic windows drivers as the regular drivers (the google/lg ones are fine for fastboot/adb drivers)
-update to windows media player 11 <--- wmp10 was able to see all of the folders to "sync" but the Nexus 4 was not showing up in MyComputer
If you use a password for your phone, make sure you unlock the phone when the device is connected for your contents to show up

Has anyone been able to/or know how to the focus recognized by windows 7 64 bit, its not even showing up in my device manager.
I have no problems syncing wirelessly or w/ USB cable on my home laptop (Ultimate 64-bit) and my work laptop (Enterprise 64-bit).
Michael.
I didn't have any issues using it with Windows 7 64-bit either (Ultimate and Home Premium).
Sorry, I know it's no help, but I have a laptop and PC both running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit with no troubles, including wifi sync with the PC.
no problems here. Are you connecting directly to PC or to a USB hub. I had problems before with USB hub.
I think it might be my cable after looking more into it. Thanks
FWIW, I am using the USB cable that came with my Nokia N900 (also using the Nokia N900 charger).
Michael.
I am having the same problem.
Windows Phone 7 doesn't use Windows Mobile Device Manager. It uses Zune. You won't get a WP7 phone to show up in WMDM on any computer.
Zune will still have to communicate to the phone via device driver.
I just connected mine via USB cable and looked in Device Manager under Portable Devices and the SAMSUNG SGH-i917 is there.
Michael.
Did you try installing Zune manually? I believe that's what I did first.

I'm running 64 bit Windows 7
Do you have your phone set to be a tethered modem? I run win7 64-bit, and the samsung driver fails to install every time.. If you're just looking to see your phone, open up diag and hit *#7284# (if I remember correctly, turn it back to zune-sync and plug your phone in.. Zune will autostart and it'll recognize the phone.
Probably no dice on tethering with it though, unless samsung releases a new driver, or possibly a different installation method.
Focus and Win7 64
I had the same problem with my focus. The only thing that ultimately worked for me was to plug it into a different USB Port. It was recognized as a new device and I haven't had the problem since.
If you're talking about tethering, try this to install the drivers:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9575346#post9575346
I've never had any problems just connecting to Zune in the normal sync mode.
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.
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...

...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.
I have the correct drivers on my PC and its not a big deal because I'm only plugging it in to charge it..but when the little 'windows explorer' pops up..about once out of every 5 or 10 times do I actually see the phone and can browse directories and copy stuff.
the rest of the time the explorer window is 'blank' when it pops up.
like i said..it doesnt really bother me because i haven't had a reason to need it showing up reliably on my desktop..just curious if this has happened to anyone else.
FYI, the phone screen always says "connected as a media device" regardless of whether its showing up on my Win 7 PC desktop or not.
Disable USB Debugging in the Developer Options when you want to browse the phone. With it enabled I sometimes cannot browse either on my PC.

Yep, disabling it makes MTP work every time, with it enabled it gets iffy.

I think my "issue" is on my XP laptop. On Win7 desktop (using the same drivers from that link) I have no problems with mtp and usb debugging on. Good catch!
cool tip!!! i'll install those drivers.
PS do they work with ALL android devices? my kids have 2 tmobile 'mytouch' android phones i just bought off ebay and the drivers i've used are pretty picky as well.
I also had an issue with USB Debugging on with no functioning MTP on Windows XP. I solved it and documented it with a post over in the N7 forums (reading the posts clued me in):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35667806&postcount=23
Windows 7 has native support for MTP so it most likely will never see these issues -- although there are a few exceptions.
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.
