Noob yes...So take pity and help :( - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys...so maybe I'm not doing it right.I've purchased the 32 GB device and everytime I connect it to PC no matter if USB debbuging is selecyed ot anything else I cannot for the life of me create new files or transfer files into device. I usually get an error message saying..the device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected.?? What gives? I've decided to download wifi file transfer but what should i do? Ive just rooted the device and problem existed even before then.

AirDroid tends to work better than that MTP c**p, especially for larger files.
Also I noticed MTP tends to be a bit buggish if the device goes to sleep (ie: screen turns off) especially if you use a lock (pattern lock etc).

Yeah buddy but the problem is i can't copy anything wether on MTP or the other. It won't let me. So it seems my only option is these over wifi transfers? System always gives me an error message everytime I try to make a new file or copy and paste one. Only way I see the drive is if the system in under camera mode (can't remember which one that is right now) but yeah...the other mode won't show the drive and in "camera mode " there is nothing I can do.

Touch HD goes instandby even in USB disk mode

Hi,
ich have strange problem:
My Touch HD goes in Standby when used as a USB Disk. After one minute or two, the display deaktivates and the device goes instandby. The connection the my pc is lost even during a filetransfer - it drives my crazy.
The only solution for the moment is to touch the display to prevent the device from sleeping.
Has anyone an idea how to stop this silly behaviour?
Thank you
Thorsten
P.S.: When connected the the pc in active sync mode, everything is ok an the device never sleeps...
Are you using any device lock software such as S2u2. If so check the external power settings. They should be set to off.
No devicelock software...

Have you tried changing the power settings? "Set to go off after X mins inactivity" might have something to do with it!

Yeah that will probably help, had this same problem, drove me insane as well. Just set it to charge on usb connection and set the 'On External Power'-setting 'Turn off device if not used for' to something like 30 mins. If that doesn't help than you could try AEBPlus, you can assign a button to set the device to not turn the screen off at all.
Yes,
i have tried these settings - no change.
Also, there is activity - the usb data transfer, this normally should kepp the HA alive.
A few weeks ago everything was ok, it doesn´t sleep when connected to a pc...

Do You Have Scapps Advanced Config?
Under Power management - USB Charging - Yes keeps device alive, No puts it to sleep.
Thank you,
but Schaps config is installed and already USB charging is set to "yes".
It drives me crazy :-(

Might be a real pain, but maybe you could do a hard reset, as all the other solutions don't seem to work.
The same problem here. I tried everything to prevent my HD from turning off. It looks to me like it doesn't recognize the connection per USB as it should. Because if I change the settings for Battery-Mode e.g. standby after 30 minutes, it works for ... ca.... 30 minutes
Anyone an idea why the hd doesn't recognize the usb connection? A Hard-Reset doesn't seem to change anything regarding this problem.
HEy,
I have exactly the same problem. Have u found out anything yet or does anyone else know what this is about? It happens even if I turn off all the options for auto darken or turn off display in energy options.
Its gonna drive me crazy too, argh
Edit:
Take a look at the last answer of this thread, sorry but it its german. But it fixed the problem in my case!

Hi BanTu,
thanks for this link - it really solved my problem.
Settings - System - power management - disable shut down when connected (even if there are 30 min, in my case).
Thank you very much

My Galaxy S experience and Problems

Hi,
I want to first start by saying I really like my phone. I came from a Iphone 3G and just love the fact the SGS is so easily customisable and I can have widgets etc on my home screen.
Now to the things I don't like and if anyone can help I'd most appreciate it.
1) Samsung Kies. No matter what I try I can't get my phone to connect to Kies. When I first installed Kies it connected fine etc, but now I either get the mtp screen crashing or it just says connecting device and won't go any further.
I have tried solutions such as formatting my internal sd card, removing cache but nothing seems to work
2) GPS. I'm not sure I even have GPS. I can go into maps and it can pinpoint my location. However if I go to Google Nav it plans the route but then just says searching for GPS and doesn't get any further. I used to get a satellite symbol at the top of the phone sometimes but I don't even get that anymore.
3) Lag. Opening aps etc is fine, but if anyone calls me or I get a text, the phone wakes up and then takes about 5 seconds sometimes longer to either show a text message or show that someone is calling me so I can answer.
If anyone can help with these problems I'll be extremely happy. I'd like to try to upgrade to the latest version of the SGS software via Kies as it may solve some of the above problems but I can't connect to Kies.
Thanks for reading and any advice would be great.
Someone mentioned before about turning off haptic feedback, as it seems the phone takes a short time to kick the motor into action before it does whatever on screen (menu/keyboard/etc). I tried this and it does seem more responsive, so might be worth turning phone vibrate off. Not an ideal situation, but might be less annoying than waiting for the screen to respond when a call/text arrives.
As for GPS, have you accidentally turned it off? there's an option to disable it entirely, in which case any navigation apps would use phone mast triangulation.
KIES... *ugh* don't get me started on that, I had to re-install as the update didn't work, then had to reboot my machine a few times, turn off Launcher Pro, launch KIES manually and then it would work. I now only rely on it for firmware updates, it's useless for everything else.
I don't have vibrate on, is there another way I can turn off haptic feedback?
Also re turning off GPS? do you mean the use gps satellites in my location sources as that is turned on.
Yeah kies drives me up the wall. I just don't understand why I can't get it to sync. It recognises it in other modes just not samsung Kies mode.

1) top left hand corner of the kies application, there is a drop down which allows you to reover drivers, (or words to that effect). Try that. If it does'nt work. Locate and donwload the package of USB drivers, install and try again. if it doesnt work, recove drivers via kies again and it should work, it did for me.

Haptic feedback is under Sound and Display near the bottom of the list.
If you already have vibrate turned off for calls, not sure what the problem is then, sorry.
So you have use satellites ticked but the icon still doesn't show? go onto the marketplace and download the GPS test application, it's free and will show you your satellite signal strength, how many you can connect to, etc. If it doesn't lock onto any (while outside, not in a built up area with skyscrapers, or whatever) there might be a problem with your phone and you need to get it replaced.
yeah it seems I don't get any satellites. I used to but it seems my gps has just stopped working.
I'll try and call O2 business to see what they say.

Which firmware you using.. On mine, it happened on European JG1 -> JG5 firmware.. But all other firmware was fine
Is that my baseband version?
If so its I90000ADJF1
Re the satellites, yeah even after I reboot the phone.
I had GPS test on the phone before and used to get up to 8 I think, last night I got two when I left it on GPS test for a while, but even going outside today I get none. It says accuracny is 318.2 feet.
But it says 0 in view and 0 in use.

JF1 is ancient (it's from June). Check on Kies if there is an update available.
get the newest firmware possible
if that doesn't fix it, exchange your phone for a working one

PC connection issues after root/sdk instal

The title says basically all. After full unlocking my Ativ-S, and in that process naturally installing the sdk, I have random problems on connecting to my laptop. I have to boot the phone to get connected. Before the root I never had any problems.
Oh and when I get connected, the green disconnect device safely icon appears and dissapears after connection, so I cant disconnect that way anymore... Could this actually be the cause, as the device has been dicsonnected wrong?
Help is appreciated as this is annoying!
It's been a little quirky for me too; the trick is that the phone has to be locked (pin-locked, not just lock screen) when you connect it to the PC, and then you need to unlock it; that *should* work. Did you apply the full-FS-access hack yet? That one seems to make it even harder.
By the way, you don't need to do the "safely disconnect" thing as long as there's no data being transferred. It's not USB Mass Storage, where you can actually corrupt the filesystem by unplugging the device in the middle of an operation, either; if you disconnect mid-transfer, all that will happen is the transfer will fail.
I didnt know that about disconnecting the phone safely. Though this disapearing on the disconnect icon also started happening at the same time, so it could be raleted somehow? Also I have applied full unlock to the phone, if thats what you meant?
Connecting with pin-code on does not seem to help. It is even possible that I need to reboot every other time to get connection, I havent investigated enough. I will look in to this over the weekend to get full picture whats going on here. I have a possibility test with other laptop, that does not have anything extra in it, just running W8.1 with regular drivers, so I will also test with that to get the SDK out of the picture.
I will report back.
Im glad this isnt such a big deal anymore, back in the WM days this would hve been a major pita.
It is not every other time. After I booted now I have connected/disconnected many times in a row. Same behaviour on the other system. Also on that laptop the disconnect device icon disapears. Whatever is causing this, its all on the phone side.

It happened to me,too. I have a computer using Intel Core i3 and another powered by an old intel CPU.
on the i3 one, the phone appears as soon as i plug it in but on the old one, it takes a long time for the phone to appear..
AND on my Surface RT, it didn't appear even after 5 hours...
I didnt know what I was talking about, I didnt have FS access.. I did all interop unlocks only, I didnt have FS turned on. After turning it on, the phone is recognized by the computer and the disconnect icon appears, but its not seen by file explorer.
Im still experiencing these problems.
Seems that every morning I have to boot the device to get connected. After that I can connect the device as many times as I want.

[Q] Note 3 N9005 - LTE - No Display

few days ago during phone calls the screen started to black out - after 1 hoursof first blackout, screen started to show weird behavior, screen was being touched on random areas - i turned on show touches from dev mode and it showed random multi touches on top right corner of scree. after few minutes the screen turned black and since then i havent seen any sort of display on my note 3. i tried.
1. removed battery - let it rest for 15 minutes - connected back - phone turned on fine i could hear all sounds and notifications even receive calls if i swiped at correct screen area, However no display
2. tried to access the phone in adb but it wont show in devices even though usb debugging is enabled and all samsung drivers are correctly configured.
3. made backup of all the files on phone using kies.
4. Rooted the phone and tried to access recovery mode but vol up + home + power just turns on the phone.
5. currently the phone connects to pc as a media device with usb debugging enabled.
i think if i am able to flash firmware again it might resolve the issue, but so far i haven't been able to find latest stock builds that i can flash using odin since i cannot do anything in recovery mode (no display)
Can someone guide me on how i can get the display back ? is there any way to access the screen using a standalone pc app without the need to install any app on the phone ? can it be hardware related issue ? the phone never dropped, im a very careful user. screen is scratchless and phone is in perfect condition physically. Any help or guidance will be appreciated.
PS. Its my first time posting a thread on a forum, i hope i didnt break any rules. I searched alot on forums for someone having similar situation.

2. To access via adb you have to grant the permission, once you connect phone in adb with developer mode (usb debugging) enabled, a pop-up will come asking for granting permission., once you grant then only you can acces it in adb mode.
*Sorry buddy, i don'y know about any app that can "access the screen using a standalone pc". (Google for it, You may found)
I guess it must be hardware issues,
But you can try out this:
Download the latest firmware from SamMobile or from SamsungUpdates website, and flash using ODIN.
Before downloading firmware make sure you download the correct firmware for your region (CSC)
If didn't worked, it must be a hardware issue.
Sorry.
Phone was in usb debugging mode before screen disappeared, now i cannot see the device in adb mode maybe because i need to change the connection mode to mtp, i cant do that , theres no display :S
