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?

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
So I have a stock nexus 4 I am trying to back up all of my data to my PC from, and for some reason it keeps trying to only transfer some of the files to my PC when I drag everything from the phone storage to my pc. I have the phone hooked up via usb cable from the phone using MTP connection.
Anyone have any ideas why this might be happening, or maybe how to fix it?
Did you do a media scan?
MTP sucks. Try using Airdroid or something similar. once you get used to it it's a lot faster.
I've ran a backup in recovery mode and am trying to get the backup onto my laptop, in order to restore it to another phone.
The problem I'm having is that the phone is set to connect as a camera when connected via the USB cable, so iPhoto opens when I connect the phone. I actually need a file system browser to open, however the screen on the phone is cracked and it's no longer possible to navigate menu items using the screen, and so I can't change how the phone connects when plugged in via USB.
suggestions?
Cheers

This isn't going to help much (sorry )
but when I was trying to open the file explorer on my PC it wouldn't do it unless Debugging was turned off. And when it was turned on only the camera photo sharing option would work. So for me to get on my phones storage via PC, I had to turn debugging off. Idk if you have it on, but if that is the problem... hate to say it, but you're kinda ****ed. Hope someone will give u a useful answer :/
at least this comment will be a bump
I could be completely wrong though...
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
