[Q] How to Transfer files to the 10.1 via Windows 7

Hi All,
I've tried everything, including the usb drivers from the root guide and installing the Samsung Kies Mini program, but I can't get Windows to recognize the memory on the device. I want to transfer some movies on the Galaxy and have not been able to figure it out.
When I run the Kies software it says "plug in your usb" and when I plug in the Galaxy nothing happens...
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
It should work by just plugging in the usb/connector cable. You don't need Kies (doesnt support the 10.1 anyway right now)
When your pc does not recognize your tab, something is fishy about your pc/ usb.
USB connection should work:
(Autoplay should pop up
Select open device to connect (GT-P7510)
Click on phone
Select directory to copy file to)
Sounds like a PC problem. (Look in device manager and see if your USB controllers are ok)
Looked at Device Manager, no issues under USB.
Comes up as an Android phone...
forget the cable...
try 'Samba Fileshare' app free from the Market.
Connect to your 10.1 over WiFi and send files to it via the shared folder it creates.

Worked fine for me without installing anything.
On another note, the Kies software does seem to somewhat support the 10.1 as it installed the required adb drivers when I chose it from the menu.
im having problems too.... for now I am using dropbox.
I have a shared folder on my PC and use ES File Explorer over Wifi, it's simple and works a treat. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop&feature=search_result

I had to disable USB Debugging to get mine to pop up. Took me a while.
Oh thank God I am not the only one having this problem,,, i have tried every driver combo out there plus leaving USB debugging off and still i get nothing on my windows 7 machine. I have tried three different machines and all the same so it is not a computer issue i think it is a driver issue or a interface with the tab????
Interesting thing though is that I can push via ADB all day it that connects easy!!! WTF?????

[Q] Mass Storage not working

My mass storage is not working, I'm running the Hyperion rom, and this is really getting on my nerves now, I've enabled and disabled USB Debugging, I've installed and re-installed Samsung Kies (their stupid little piece of bad software that shouldn't be needed)
WHY ISN'T THIS A SIMPLE BLOODY PLUG AND PLAY?!

Try turning off usb debugging. The problem only persist if I use hyperion rc5 blablabla. No problem for hyperion 7
Plug in usb
Open status bar
I press the usb thingy
Press the cute android
Wait 20 seconds
It should work now
Though I still have to state that
ALL YOUR CHEESE BELONGS TO ME!
Try to update your usb driver..
Try to install latest samsung kies and samsung driver...
Other way : in your pc, open device and printer > right click pc icon and choose troubleshoot and use troubleshoot to your thunderbird device.
I hope it can help you

The PC doesn`t recognize your phone becouse of your new ROM, it s probably not signed thats why drivers cant be installed. Do you have installed manual drivers from lg.com? If it don`t help try to send files via Smart Share, via Wi-Fi. My phone is seen by PC but not by PC sync from lg becouse i have custom ROM

[Q] USB Connection

Hey guys,
I don't know if this has been asked already, and if it has I apologize for that, but judging by the title you can already assume what issue I have. When I connect my Galaxy S4 i337 to my laptop running Windows 8.1 (I'm not sure if it's RT or not), it keeps saying that my USB device is not recognized. I've tried:
- uninstalling the Samsung drivers then reinstalling them
- uninstalling Kies and drivers, then reinstalling Kies to see if it would recognize and automatically download the drivers
- completely turning off my laptop, removing the battery for 3 minutes
- different USB ports (all 3)
- connect it to the computer with USB debugging on and off
Can anyone help?
Try this, you also have to allow unsigned drivers

Now everything is connected well, as in my laptop recognizes it, but it doesn't show up on the Devices and Drivers section so I can explore the phone via my pc. Also autoplay doesn't pop up.
