My tablet appears on the device manager, but no more... - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everybody,
I just bought a nexus 7 2012 yesterday and I encounter many difficulties to plug it to my computer.
I have rooted the tablet, it runs under Android 4.3 with the firmware JWR66Y.
When I plug it, my computer running with Windows 7 makes appear the tablet in the device manager and it is noticed that this device works correctly.
But I think that there is a problem because I have no idea of the way to transfer files ! The tablet doesn't appear somewhere else !
Thanks for the help you can give me,
Florent.

[Q] I/O Tab Mounting With Mac

Hey everyone,
I love my tab from I/O but as a Mac user I am stuck with no way to connect it to my mac to put videos on or anything. Every time I attach it to my Mac (or even PC) it wants to load Kies. It doesn't give me the option to mount as disk or anything.
On my Windows 7 PC it does allow me to browse it as a folder but I don't use my PC for any video downloading or anything. Is there a solution for Mac? I tried downloading the DMG for Honeycomb tablets from Android.com but it still didn't work for the Samsung tab. Not sure what to do here.
Second thing... someone needs to break a version of the new Netflix app to work on Honeycomb. I can get the app to load as is but it won't let me play video, says that this device is not supported.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Did you try this: http://www.android.com/filetransfer/ Should work. I used it with the Xoom and it worked like a charm.
Also if you have the SDK installed you can use ddms to open a file explorer. (In the same menu where you can launch the screen capture app)

I did try that and it did not work, because I think Kies is persistent and messes with it. Any other ideas would be great.
And to be clear: neither Kies on the mac nor Windows recognizes it either -- they say it's an unsupported device.
I managed to get a movie on it for the flight home by connecting in windows (VMware), installing Kies (for the drivers) and mounting it as an external drive.

Really that would be a disaster for the 10.1v because of a lack of a SD card...... It would mean that one only can transfer files over a network.
But I assume that uninstalling Kies would solve this?
Deleted.......
Anyone else know anything that might help? I don't have Kies installed and cannot get it to work on my Mac.

Only option is adb push if you want to get your files on there. Or wireless transfer but hat takes too long

I tried both the Windows and Mac versions of Kies, and ended up having some luck with XJNB. I have a post on my blog (at surfsoftconsulting.com) explaining this, have a look at the Galaxy Tab First Impressions entry. The problem seems to be that Samsung's implementation of MTP is rubbish. Worst case scenario is that the update to 3.1 will include Google's own (and hopefully less buggy) implementation. I guess a more worse case is that Samsung have donated their code to 3.1... sigh.
I should add that since doing a factory reset I've not been able to get XJNB to work with the tablet :-( so I shall probably move to using a Wifi based solution

filetransfer doesn't work - at least not for me - with the I/O Galaxy Tab 10.1 (MacBook Pro early '08, OS X 10.6.7). I've written more elsewhere on this thread, I won't repeat it here.

[Q] Nexus 4 on win8 - doesn't work!!

Hello.
I just connected my Google Nexus 4 to Win8, and I can't get it to work.
I can't access to the Nexus, I don't see the device, though it does appear on the devices, but I can't get into it on windows explorer.
I even installed a driver (though I know I shouldn't have had done that) and still - nothing.
Help?

try enabling development mode if it isn't already. I've seen sometimes it won't let you browse the directory without it on

It doesn't report as a drive. The nexus uses MTP for connection. Not UMS like older android phones.
It will show up as a device. Just click there to open in explorer.

From the start menu just type "computer"
Then, scroll down and double click Nexus 4.
does your device manager recognize it. should show under Android Device - Google Nexus 4 ADB Interface
work fine for me, ensure you driver installed successful.
you need to Disable Driver Signature Enforcement :
How to Disable Driver Signature Enforcement in Windows 8:
From the Metro Start Screen, open Settings (move your mouse to the bottom-right-corner of the screen and wait for the pop-out bar to appear, then click the Gear icon).
Click ‘More PC Settings’.
Click ‘General’.
Scroll down, and click ‘Restart now’ under ‘Advanced startup’.
Wait a bit.
Click ‘Troubleshoot’.
Click ‘Advanced Options’
Click ‘Windows Startup Settings’
Click Restart.
I think I had a similar problem, I had to disable USB debugging in the phones settings for it to work.

I think he was getting at the fact that it's not Win 8's fault.
I'm also on Win 8 and 3 PCs and it works on them all with no problems.

Is there any way I could use a mouse to control my Nexus 4?

I dropped my phone at work unfortunately and now the screen along with the digitizer is broken. Is there any way I could use a mouse to get past the lock screen on my phone to retrieve some of my important data like text messages?
I'm also open to other suggestions besides trying the mouse.

you only need your power and volup/down keys to go into/flash/boot a custom recovery.
Make a nandroid with CWM and save it to your pc, you should be able to use titanium backup to pull the contents out of the nandroid and restore with it.
Weither or not it restores depends on the new device though, but this is true regardless of the method you did to back it up.

I use the other Recovery tool instead of CWM and that only supports touch from what I've gathered :-/
Use adb to pull what you need from your phone

There's an app called "Share KM", Keyboard and Mouse, in Play Store that allows mouse and keyboard on a PC connect to an Android phone via USB cable.
I've tried this on my Tab. But dunno on Nexus 4.
Give it a try, just follow the instructions.

Uhhh... That's exactly what that app is for. It shows a mouse pointer in the Nexus 4 and you can type FROM THE PC TO Nexus 4. You haven't even seen the app yet. God...

You can flash CWM instead of the touch recovery in fastboot. Look at the return to stock guide and use the very bottom section where it talks about how to root your phone and install a custom recovery. Install CWM recovery and you should be good

I pulled the necessary sms files from my N4 and tried restoring them on my new phone but I get force closes when I open the Messages app and nothing shows up. Any way I can restore them properly?
only way I know how is to use Titanium Backup to same SMS data in XML format. transfer that data to your new device and restore it with Titanium Backup.
Oh, try a USB OTG adatper to plug a usb mouse into your phone. I used to use one to use a mouse with my old Moto Xoom.
Use a PC and go to the play store, find SMS backup +, tell it to download to n4, then use droid explorer or android commander to navigate from PC to phone and open up the app and have it backup all messages
Now download it to new phone and say restore. If that doesn't work try the USB otg cable and a mouse. Otherwise a new screen is about 100$ but simple to replace

Seems a little laggy when waking the screen to unlock. I'm going to do a clean wipe later and see how it goes.
ok did a clean install. runs alot smoother now. it has the smart screen that locks when you are not watching the display also.
When you said clean install, you factory reset, then re-flash via Odin? I received the update via OTA...

Same thing happened to me when I initially went there. Scroll to the top of the page and click login. It worked for me
Waited so long for this only to not install it on my 3113.
Installed it on my GF and daughters tablet already. It is a bit sluggish, but that is expected since neither were clean installs.
Honestly though, I find this update to no longer be needed by me. Since Cody found a way (and whoever else helped) to add the IR-Blaster driver into CM10.2 (JB 4.3), I find this to be a case of too little-too late. That is only my opinion though, of course.
But looking through this update on my GF's tablet I did notice some cool things. Only thing that she dislikes is that now the notification pull down goes over the entire screen, regardless of how many notifications it has. Is there a way to alter this?

Tried multiple times (that used to work for me): Login worked for the forums but not for downloads.
However, it doesn't matter, as the samsung-updates.com site worked fine, and only a one hour (1GB) download (not the 2.8 hours predicted).
Observations:
Chainfire's "CF-Auto-Root" works just fine.
There is no option to enable debugging. Yes, there is! On the "Build number" field in "About device" under "Settings", tap seven times to enable on "Developer options". That permanently adds it to the "Settings" menu!
You can make an ADB connection either via USB or "adbWireless", but "adb devices" on the PC shows the device "offline". Both work! A newer version of the Android SDK was needed on the PC ...
It only supports WiFi channels 1-11, even with the "wifi_country_code" database fix that enables channels 1-13 on v4.1.1.
Other than those and some cosmetic changes and minor additions to "Settings", I see no significant differences.

Observations.
I upgraded via Kies, got a message saying "Access to the software update service is provided to users in the order in which they request it. Try later" when I was trying the OTA.
This updates the android version to 4.2.2, if you didn't already know.
-The device is not vulnerable to the master key bug.
-The clipboard bug is fixed.. for now.
-Transparent status bar on homescreen and lockscreen
-New wallpapers
-Offline charging indicator slightly changed (color)
-Stock apps (SPlanner/Calendar, Browser, Alarms, Gallery, Memo..) have new UI + New apps: Group Play, Paper artist, Help.
-Device does not overheat now ,comparing to the latest build.
-Battery icon in status bar changes color depending on percentage:
1.Green: 100%-21%
2.Yellow/orange : 20%-11%
3.Red : 10%-6%
4.Warning sign "!" : 5%-1%
Pros: 1. More RAM. 2. Nice weather widget 3. Smartstay feature.
The device is not laggy/sluggish as some users have reported: I upgraded from the latest "UECLK7 4.1.1" build, no factory reset.
Cons: 1. Looks different from previous build, kind of weird - bigger icons and fonts, with more spacing between them. 2. White notification panel which takes over the whole screen. 3. Can't add lockscreen widgets with secure lock (Must use swipe to unlock) 4. Can't add swipe lock with pattern lock, like the previous build. (No shortcuts now, with pattern)

Just turn the app off. It will install after that.
That hasn't worked, let me give more info because I didn't give enough.
I'm running Android O DP3 and I have the Nexus 6P.
Everytime I try to download and app apk wise it wouldn't let me because of what I said before
Install a file manager like mixplorer and select it too download. I do this sometimes when chrome acts up and download doesn't move.
Didn't work
Its still saying, becuase another app is displaying on top of these options, packge installer cant respond to your options nexus 6p
