Yesterday I was able to connect my Tab to my Win XP PC using the USB cable. I was able to transfer files without difficulty. But, some how I must have changed a setting on the Tab and the Tab is no longer recognized by any of my PC's. I think it is a Sync setting that was changed.
Now, when I connect using the USB cable, the PC says " Found New Hardware MTP"
What settiing do I need to change to get the PC to recognize the Tab?
Check under application > development > usb debugging.
Thanks, I found a USB driver on the Acer site. That seems to have solved the problem. But, that driver was not needed yesteray, and I don't know what "MTP" means?

Even my Windows 7 boxes do not recognize the a500 without installing the USB driver from the Acer site. Guess you somehow got lucky
Mine always saw the internal 16gb on my Win7 machine. Before the latest updates, I was able to connect with my Win7 PC with no problem and even go to STORAGES and see my 32gb card. It no longer works now. All I see now is SD which is empty.
Which means I cannot copy anything directly to the Micro SD (external_sd). It worked before the last couple of updates. I'm currently running 4.010.10. Now I have to copy it to the 16 internal from the PC and then use the tablet to copy it to the external_sd.
Acer giveth and taketh away.... bummer.
Edit: And yes ... my debugging is on. Always has been. Stock kernel too.
Anyone figure this out yet?
I can't connect on my Win7-64 PC at all.
My 32 bit laptop will connect, but not to SD card, only internal SD.
Try turning development off when using usb go pc which no need for driver, if development is on then you need driver installed.

i can't get my tab to connect to my mac , ive tried both usb ports, ive tried ticking usb-debugging on and off with no luck. Anyone know whats wrong?
If you are having usb issues go to acers web site and go to the drivers and download section for the iconia a500. make sure you look under the honeycomb 3.0 downloads and not the 3.1. as the drivers are not listed under 3.1. download the drivers to your pc (not your tablet)and install. it is an 89 megabyte file so I am sure it has the drivers for everyone in it.
Alos if you are ojn honeycomb 3.0 make sure you get the wi-fi unpate as well while you are there it fixes lots of wi-fi problems.
Remember to thanks if I have helped you.
Thanks for the quick reply in the drivers package There is none for mac and on my fascinate it connects without problem and i never instaled any drivers
Chuban7, Hi well I am not a mac person but I did look around the net a bit and from what I see there are not usb drivers persay for android for mac. but what i have found is there are several companies who mac sync software that connects android to mac. One site to check out is http://www.salling.com/MediaSync/mac/ they have free versions of thier software to use. Give it a try. but there are many other venders of mac to android sync software. seems only way from what I read cant find usb drivers anywhere for ya for any android device.
You can also look through the android market for a free program called"auto mount your sd card" supose to work with mac but I dont know as I dont have a mac
MY personal choice is a program also free on market called "software data cable" again suppose to work with macs and pc's it is completely wireless so no usb cable needed to transfere files so in theory then no usb drivers needed either.
You can also use a program called dropbox allso free it works great just drop files into the dropbox folder and then once they upload go open dropbox on your android and bingo there ya go thier is your files. works in reverse too for android to computer.
Only thing I can figure is that apple hates android and between them and microsoft are tring to run android into the ground so it would stand to reason if you hated a compeating vendor why would you make it easy for them to run thier devices on your software. There is a reason apples Ipod/pad stuff works and others dont apple dont want you to buy android lol.
Just my little conspericy theory stuff good luck hope any of this helps you.
I have the same issue with Linux so it's not a Mac issue. I can plug my Android phone in and it mounts and show up as a USB device that I can then take a file manager and copy/paste/delete files. I use this all the time to transfer files to my phones sd card. Neither the A100 or the A500 will mount as a drive on my Linux machine. I like them but that is pretty much a deal breaker to me.

Somehow I feel very doubtful that your Linux OS cannot be set up to mount the a500 as a USB storage device. My Linux skills are rather rusty and outdated, however - so I could be wrong. Can you emulate a stripped down version of windows from your Linux system to get around this?
I can vouch for using software data cable (free app from AM).
Works perfectly with my iMac and should do with PC, since it essentially opens an FTP port on the Iconia (port 8888 by default) that can be accessed by any FTP client on the computer (I use Cyberduck on Mac, FireFTP plugin for Firefox works on all OS's).
If you are rooted, check root access in the app settings to get into the root, and find /mnt/external_SD for the add-on card. It is probably smartest not to leave the root access on all of the time unless you really need it as there is abundant opportunity to create havoc accidentally

I didn't say it couldn't be done, I just think that it's strange and wrong to make an Android device dependent on having Windows. Yes I suppose I could install Windows in a Vm but I won't.
Using Google (pun intended) I found a fairly simple solution. It's not plug-n-play but is very doable even by an non techie.
There are also some ways of access the Tab file system using a browser and Wifi

Nice app thanks, didn't show up when searching for FTP servers. ;(
The only minor issue I see is that at 1st glance it appears that you don't have access to the external_sd card unless Rooted.
Did work better than any of the other FTP servers I have tried.
Does anyone use the micro usb port? I have yet to find a use for it. I can't transfer files with it, charge with it nor are there any peripherals (that I know of) that can use it. I searched around but couldn't find much useful stuff on the port. All I found was this useless video:
**Ok I can't post the video because of more stupid forum rules but just go to youtube.com and append this after the url: /watch?v=1xBVu-IatDQ **
Anyway, if someone has ideas on how this port can be used I'm all ears... Thanks.

It is a file transfer port. you plug a cable into it and into your PCs usb port. works like the ones on your phone.
Does it work for you? Because it doesn't for me. Nothing happens when I plug it into a computer. No automounting on the computer side or indication on the tablet that I can put it into "usb storage mode" like the 2.X Android versions do.

Computer OS? i just plugged it into my Win7 system and it was there instantly. 3.0 shows up as a media device, which allows both the tablet and the computer to talk to the sdcard at the same time. So you won't see a mount prompt on the tablet. BTW my Incredible2 is running 2.3 and also lets me access the SD card on it and the computer at the same time.
I'm still using an old tiny xp and it worked fine for me just plugged it in and there it was
I tried Gentoo Linux and XP and neither worked. What drivers do I need to install?
I also have access to a Win7 system so I'll try that.

Drivers from acer website.
I have adb installed should this not be enough?
You need none installed. ADB if its running in some form might be interfering. its just a basic driver in windows it uses.
I only run adb-server when I need it and not all the time. I thought that any needed drivers would have been installed when I installed adb.
For my Gentoo machine what should I do? It's not detected at all if I plug it in. My x10 mini and Nexus One are detected no problem and I can mount them and everything so what's up? Is there a kernel module that I need to build?
Thanks.

I had to download these drivers for my xp netbook ,,

I agree with Nova 5. The Windows drivers for USB come with the SDK and while you might not think you will have use for the SDK you will. It makes the process of installing custom ROM,s and Recovery Kernels a breeze. You download your zip flashes or recovery images to Win 7 and then you adb push your downloads to the tablet. The alternatives, unless soneone was nice enough to compile you an apk, which most advanced system developers don,t bother with, unless their app is destined for the massees throug Andriod market, is to install a terminal emulator and enter native Unix/Linux shell commands manually. If you aren't a shell cmd expert I suggest you immediatly download the latest Android SDK for Windows and start learning what it can do for you with just 2 or 3 adb push commands which can help you advoid 10's of lines of manually entered Linux shell commands that can do some real damage to your system if you are copying someone elses terminal emulator sh install instructions, don't understand what they do and make 1 simple typing mistake. With adb push you don't even have to get involved in Linux's complicated bit based permission changes to install something at the system level.

Yes, well I only really use adb in the same capacity as what you describe-- to root a device. After that busybox can be installed and I can either ssh into the device (which I prefer) or use the terminal on the device itself.
But my problem is the detection of the device once it is plugged into my Linux box. I'm not sure if I need a special driver for that and I'd rather not aimlessly search through the kernel config in order to build one (I've done that before and it's painful!). It's good to know that one can mount it on an external device and still use it simultaneously though. That will save me time in trying to fiddle around with settings in the tablet itself...

If you are not able to transfer files Try enabling usb debugging before connecting to pc.
If the tab is not in the usb devices list and it doesn't show up as an unknown device, you might want to try another usb cable. Or another port if you have the Windows and Linux on the same machine and you are trying to connect on the same port.

Not nearly what I was saying. Not even close enough that a bomb would touch it.
Simple answer is my vista and win7 systems accessed the iconia as a media player device requiring no drivers as they are a common system driver. My only comment about ADB was that it might be interfering if it somehow was left running in the background.
I'm not sure what the problem is, but I had to play around with the settings and plug it in several times and finally it showed up. Now I plug it in and the dialog for auto play shows up instantly. When I choose to view files, I get a window with two drives. One is the internal storage and the other is the sd card.

Sometimes mine gets a bit wonky as well. Every now and then, I'll plug it in, get the windows dialogue box asking me what I want to do. I open it up and the box is blank, no drives, nothing. Unplug it, wait a few seconds, pop it back in, and everything is OK. No rhyme or reason, and it doesn't happen all the time.
Quick trick for win7 .
Plug in the device.go into device manager delete its entry and the USB controller it resides on.unplug device.install driver from acer web site.then try the device again.
This works on several USB type issues
Good luck if you don't understand don't try
With many devices not supporting mass storage anymore Android seemed to have moved from mass storage to PTP and MTP
With Windows supporting MTP by default and Mac OSX with an application there isn't any native support in Linux.
There are a few work arounds like gMTP but that didn't really work for me.
There also is another work around that requires you to edit some files.
To make it easier for others I wrote a little bash script, that does most for you.
Step 1 : sudo apt-get install mtp-tools mtpfs
Step 2 : Plugin your device
Step 3 : Open up a terminal
Step 4 : Type in : “mtp-detect”
Step 5 : Write the PID and VID down, you will need this later
Step 6 : disconnect your device
Step 7 : Download the script and execute it by sudo ./mtp (don't forget to make it an executable first)
Step 8: Follow the instructions on screen and after it's done reboot and plugin your device
Step 9: Use the command "android-connect" to mount your device and "android-disconnect" to dismount
It's not much, but I hope it helped someone.
Please let me know if it worked for your device/distro.

Tested and working on the P3110 and P5110.
EDIT 1:
(First) time mount can take up to 1-2 minutes, have had where it would mount in a few seconds, others half a minute. Be patient.

Thanks for this. I think I have tried all this before and it has not worked, but will try again. A few things come to mind though. First, I think you have to turn USB debugging off, right? There is another thread where several of us are able to see the tablet, but not really get any files. Also there is a way to get the tablet to share PTP or MTP and that changes things too (PTP lets me see the top level but no subdirectories).
Will report back if this works or not.
I think USB debugging has to be on, at least for my phone. Mine is always on on all my devices.
Yeah you can see it in the file manager (1 for each SD card) with MTP but you can't access the files.
I am not sure about the PTP.. However for the MTP I just made a new folder in on my other SD card named extSD since MTP shows all directories of both sdcards in one directory.

Nope doesn't work with or without USB debug. I think the issue may be due to some problem with mtp-tools on 64 bit Linux. Are you running 32?
The mtpfs mounts but any attempt to list the mounted directory just hangs.
I am using 64bit, did you do the reboot and android-connect? If you are using nautilus you wont see your device under "Devices". You will see it above your filesystem.
Can you tell me what isn't working?

Well I'm using Kubuntu so no Nautilus. And I'm just looking at the mount point. My udev rules already have an entry for the mtd device. I also grabbed the latest libmtd and built it from source.
The fuse mount seems to work but any ls on the mount point just hangs forever.
Very strange.
At times like this I miss ubuntu
On my Arch (+XFCE), I use gMTP (uses mtpfs ofcourse). Most of the times it works, and then there are times when it is a pain in the a##. Gets stuck, does not respond, fails to copy what not.
I find the only reliable way is using adb.
Gosh! I push and pull everytime! :silly:
yeah, after a couple of days I found it not very stable at all, so I too switched over to ADB, it's not the fastest method. But we gotta get around, don't we?
I am also waiting for a permanent fix... Just switched back to Ubuntu from Windows 8 Preview, and I love it!!!
The only issue I have at the moment is the fact that I cannot connect directly to the PC from the Tab, although transfer speeds are better by removing the memory card and inserting it into the computer directly. Would be nice to use Rhythmbox to manage my MP3s.
I've tried a few solutions and nothing seems to work fully. I'll give the ideas mentioned above a try.
I have found my peace finally with qtADB.
By far the fastest, and most efficient app for this job.

hi there,
in newer kernel - at this thime for example debain testing jessie - is kio-mtp implemented. this compinent load your nexus 4 mtp device autmotically like in windows. can access device via filemenager without doing steps in console before. in long time support distribution - example debian stable wheezy - this is not implemented yet. you can compile own your own to get this working
kio-mtp is for kde
gnome-vfs with mtp is for gnome
Works on Kali Linux with 3.14 kernel - HTC One with 4.4.3. Thanks a lot
So I have my Nexus 7. It ran fine when I was under Windows. Now that I'm back to running linux again (Arch Linux) the mass storage isn't working anymore. After a bit of reading around it's apparently because it using the MTP protocol which is a Microsoft based protocol. I understand that there are hacky libraries that I can install that may or may not make it work properly, but that's not what I want. I just want to be able to go back into mass storage mode like it used to be. I don't want to have to deal with some janky proprietary protocol when it isn't necessary. Is there any way to get back mass storage mode like the way it used to be, or are people over android 3.0 just S.O.L? Is there an option is CyanogenMod or is it something they may be working on at some point? The open standards, flexibility and freedom was the entire reason I chose to use android over ios in the first place.. this is really unfortunate.
Not trying to come off as an entitled twat, but this is really frusterating :/
I've never get it to work in Linux. I've tried updating MTP to the latest subversion/cvs and just couldn't get it to do anything.
I have to use adb to transfer anything!
On Ubuntu, I've managed to get it working with mtpfs and gMTP. Not sure how useful that is for Arch though...

There are ways to get it working but they (for me) were a pain and for some reason yielded super slow transfers.

I use mtpfs and it works, ish.
The bigger the file, the longer it sits there after I use cp, and then after a bit [maybe 10 secs for 350MB file, much longer for bigger files], it will say something about preserving timestamps not being implemented, and it looks like it finished copying. But it has only just started. So I use du to see how big the file is, and for me I get around 14MB/s once it has started transferring. Not too shabby, but the overhead is ridiculous. I want mass storage mode too!
Hi!
I've made a little solution for mounting Nexus 7 to Linux pc.
Using mtpfs was laggy, don't know why, so I used similar tool, called go-mtpfs for that (project link) with some changes (see here).
Just untar attached archive, and run install.sh.
It uses udev to automatically mount and unmount device on plugging/unplugging. (no non-root unmounting though)
Checked on Ubuntu 12.04, but must work with others versions and distros, i guess.
thanks to everyone for your comments and responses. the way everyone is talking it seems really grim... are we really just stuck with trying to make mtp work? there's no way to have it go back into mass storage mode?
i even tried to mount my sd card in cwm and that didn't even work. later on i'm going to try installing twrp to see if that'll allow me to mount my drive properly.
well, neither cwm nor twrp allow me to mount the sdcard. i did a lot of scouring around and i think I may have found why it won't work in recovery either.
It's true that Galaxy Nexus doesn't support UMC because the sdcard is a subfolder of the data partition instead of independent, like in the Galaxy S2. But I was talking about OTG, it is mounting an usb pendrive to save cwm backups there.

i know this is a different device, but i don't see why it would be any different. i'm gunna start mixing and matching kernels with recoveries to see if i can make that work. and if i truly and honestly can't get it working in mass storage mode i'll just stick with adb push.

I am finding it's just less hassle to use Airdroid.
gMTP is the only acceptable method I have found in linux but it seems to hang a lot for me.
I found gMTP to be very slow, appearing to hang at times. So I set up Samba and use ES File Explorer on the tablet to access my shared mount points. It's possibly not as fast as AirDroid but is an easy solution, though it means controlling everything from the Nexus 7.

I simply use adb. I was recently turned onto QtADB which is adb with a gui and some other cool features. I would highly recommended it.

I use gMTP on ubuntu. I really don't have any complaints about it. It does act like it's hanging at times but I've always found it to recover just fine without any additional issues. It's not wicked fast but it does what I need. I often utilize samba and airdroid for specific uses but sometimes I find gMTP to be an easy wired based solution.

Yes but how fast (slow) does it transfer? 1MB/s?

I transferred 500MB in 1-2 minutes. Sorry, didn't record anything more specific but even at 2 min, that works out to 4MB/s which ain't bad
As many have suggested, just read up on adb and use that. If you need to get something off the N7 and dont quite remember were it went to.. adb shell and cd to the sdcard and ls the dir. It'll print everything cd in to the next folder you think it may be in ls.. it'll show the contents. If you dont like having to put things into the android-sdk-linux/platform-tools and then having to cd into that dir everytime. Just add the platform-tools to your PATH and you can issue commands through any directory. It is very unfortunate that MTP leaves us Linux users in the dark.
Also, if you have a rooted kernel such as Siyah for the Galaxy S2, it lets you force mass storage mode. I haven't tested this but it looks like it should work for linux

Well, with some little configuration, it's not a big thing to configure MTP or even automount-MTP on Linux systems. A small introduction you can find in my blog http://anddisa.blogspot.de

In developer options, I enabled debugging over USB and set USB format to data transfer.
When I connect my linux box to the phone over USB, linux throws a dialog box telling me to select a function for automount. I choose "open with file manager". The two-pane file manager pops up and I can drill down into Store --> DCIM --> camera and see my pictures. When I try to copy photos to the linux box, it tells me it's copying but no transfer takes place. After 30 seconds or so, linux throws an error: Unkown error -- timeout reading from or writing to port. Permissions problem maybe?
Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong? I don't have access to windows .....
You shouldn't have to enable USB debugging. I just select File Transfer and it works (Linux Mint 18.3 MATE).

Removed the USB debugging on the T6 and rebooted (just to be sure) but no joy. Any other troubleshooting commands you familiar with?
Unfortunately, no--I've never had trouble transferring files from phone to computer or vice versa.
Are you sure the cable / port works? Do ADB / Fastboot commands work at all? I primarily use Linux, and all my machines just see my all of my devices. I also just use File Transfer. Anytime it's been an issue, it's been a cable or hub issue. Everything just works.

The cable is ok, can use adb commands without a problem. I booted up a Mint Linux live cd and was able to transfer files ok. So ..... looks like it was a glitch somehow to do with MX19 or my inability to configure it.
Thanks everyone.
@miller.92 I use Ubuntu 18.04 and don't have this issue. I also use AOSP custom roms always on my 6t and rarely use stock OOS but that shouldn't matter.. I've read this same thing somewhere else on xda. Weird.

I installed Mint 20 over MX19 and the same problems showed up.
I pulled up synaptic and did a search on "android". Downloaded "Android File Transfer" and that seems to work. It's a bit clunky and primitive but it does work.
