When I transfer my Pics and Videos in camera mode, Windows wants to transfer my whole SD card, and wont transfer the videos I've taken. Any ideas why?
I'm using auto-play transfer on Windows,
Thanks-

I am pretty sure within windows - while the transfer is happening, there is a way to click on the transfer icon and change the parameters of what is transfered - but the way i remember it, if the transfer is quick, you can't get to these options.
For me, i don't ever use camera mode. I use Media mode, then click on the phone under my computer and browse to the DCIM folder (on card, or phone) and move files manually. But i usually don't even do that. I let dropbox sync it all automatically. It is free and i don't lose anything because i forget to transfer.
I have the auto play settings all set up. It seems to only do this with android. My wife's iPhone and our camera transfer right.
I like the way windows renames the files and puts them in dated folders.

Hi all, i want to copy some pictures over from my old phone, but where do i put them, if i put them in the same folder as the rest, the phone does not display them, and they all then get corrupted, i created a folder called pictures, but the phone still does not see them???
Weird?
Within photos and Videos you have to press "Album" twice and then you will see an overview of all the photos on the device or SD-card. If, for example, you have a directory "pictures" on your sd-card it will display and once pressed, it will open with the photos in it. Then choose MENU - Choose album as favorite and you will see that once you enter the Photos and Videos tab, this album is displayed...
In my thumbnail view the pictures look crappy as well, but once opened they look ok.
edit: keep in mind that the photo's tab will only display the first 99 pictures in a map

Put them in the "My Documents" folder (on the phone, not the storage card) and they'll show up in the lists for selecting ringtones and sounds.
Oh now thats a bit daft?, how do you access the my folders on the phone?
Any way to also stop them showing in music player also?
Anybody? I cant access the My Documents on the phone memory?
What do you mean you can't access it? How are you trying ot do it?
They shouldn't show in your music player if you put them in My Documents.
Well when i connect the phone in disk drive mode all i can see is the mem card, if i connect in active sync, i cant see anything?
Ok connected in sync mode after a reset and i can see the folder you said, put my files in there, but still cant see them in the phone menu?
Fount it Do This
Enable Active Sync
My Mobile Device\Application Data\Sounds
But how do i stop the sounds appearing in the audio player its annoying?
Hi Guys,
Loving my transfer from iphone to the Gnote, i find android impressive but i have a question, how can i transfer music to my Gnote? I have tried Kies but i can only move 1 song at a time.......totally leborious!!
Help!!!!
Just drag the files to the sd card in mass storage mode
Or maybe create a playlist in windows media player and then import it using keis?
In the android world, its very simple... Forget about Kies.
1. Connect your phone to your PC using the USB Cable.
2. Mount your SD card so that your SD card appears as a D: or E: or any other drive in the My Computer section of your PC.
3. Copy all your songs to the SD card. Create a "Songs" folder if you like.
4. "Safely remove" your device / Unmount the SD Card.
5. Enjoy your music on your Android Phone.
By the way, you can do this on any PCs. So, if you have some songs on your laptop & not on your desktop, you can connect to the laptop & still be able to transfer your songs from there. You don't need Kies... or other softwares. It works very much like a pen drive really...

slow mtp
Hello everyone,
just wondering if anyone else is experience pretty slow file transfer speeds? I'm getting it both with Kies, and with drag and drop (on my macbook). I'm just putting about 29GB of music straight onto the SD card. It's a class 4, so nothing special, but the whole thing seems to take quite a long time. Maybe I'm just too used to filling up a usb stick in seconds, but I'm sure the SGS was faster in this front.
If you are simply transferring files, you are better off putting the Note into mass storage mode: Menu > Settings > Wireless And Network > USB utilities it should be faster that way.

There is a less annoying way to do this.
Plug the GNote into a USB port.
Open the notification bar and touch the USB notification line.
Sends you to the same place but you don't have to tunnel through options.
I have always just used Windows built in Picture and Video Transfer, I like how it renames and adds everything to the locations I choose ie: Home videos folder for videos and Picture library for pics.
What I want to do is import just my DCIM folder not Everything that is on my SDcard.
My S2 this worked fine.
I know I can drag and drop my dcim folder to a separate SDcard and then invoke the transfer, but it is a hassle. I also know Dropbox and cloud storage is probably the way to go but I have all my photos and video stored in my library on a NAS this way and would like to continue.
any ideas? How are you doing it?
Thanks-

Same. I just drag and drop things where I need them if I'm plugged in. But most of the time I just use AirDroid, so I can do it wirelessly. And in the past I also had an app (I don't recall the name) that when launched, would share the SD Card over the network, which Windows can then see. I created a shortcut in My Computer to that network drive, so it showed up like any other hard drive on my computer and I could drag and drop files to it. Was handy, but I haven't had much use for that lately, since everything is in the cloud now, and AirDroid works on nearly any network without any prior setup.
Videos Not Showing
Hi all,
Having a bit a trouble finding any of the videos on my phone. I've recorded a couple 4k and slow mo vids, as well as have videos from my previous phone that I've transferred over. I am able to see/play them on the phone, but when connecting to my PC (Win 10) with MTP mode chosen, they and their save folders aren't visible on the phone. For example, the internal videos on the phone are located in the DCIM/Camera folder. When going into the DCIM folder on the phone via Windows, there is no Camera folder. Perhaps something else of note is that my Camera FV-5 app's folder is not visible in there either. Am I doing something wrong, or is Windows at fault?
Hi folks;
Stupid question maybe but man, I'm getting really pissed off with how hard it is to use Android and starting to understand why there's a cult of people flocking to the iPhone.
Anyway, I've got a Nexus 4 with Android 5.1.1 on it and I shot some video on my vacation. You'd think I could get it off the phone and into Picasa or Youtube or my desktop but man, I'm about to lose it!
How the hell do you get video off this piece of **** ? This is NOT intuitive at all.
Videos should be stored in the DCIM directory on internal storage. Simply connect your phone to a computer and browse to the DCIM directory and copy the video to your computer.

Thanks for the help! I just went there (to that directory) and there's nothing
Did you check all the subdirectories? They are stored in DCIM/Camera on my phone.
I did. There's DCIM and underneath that there's a folder called Camera and that one is empty. I'm wondering if they are stored somewhere else because they still seem to be on the phone. On a more positive note, they are automagically uploading to YouTube. I have no idea if I instigated that or it just happened on it's own. There seems to be little documentation on how any of this works or where the videos are actually stored.
Your help is appreciated nevertheless !
