Is anyone else getting this problem whereby the MTP connection to PC does not show a large percentage of the files stored?
On the phone, all media shows as expected in associated apps, root explorer sees all files.
The problem for me appears to be on my external sd card (its a Samsung 64Gb, formatted to exFat)
I was wondering if there is a way to force a refresh on the PC side?
Barring that, I think the only option I have is to back up the card and re-format it.(which will take me a couple of hours!)
Thanks

Hi all ,
My work computer do not permit install Activesync, so I use a bluetooth adapter to transfer data to PDA .
My question it is possible to change the destination directory to storage SD card?
Every time the data goes to "my documents" in the the main memory.
Anyone can help me?
Thanks
have a nice day

Yow! we have related problem here. Why developers ignore this? I think this is somehow a major problem. It's a good thing that you can transfer your data to your PDA via bluetooth without a problem. Nweiz, I have a problem right here, for example, you have to download a data using bluetooth which is above 10mb but your storage (which is the buffer zone of the data) is below 10mb, the data now is unable to complete the download. I suggest that the buffer zone can be the RAM disk which is unremovable (unlike the SD Card) so you can download higher quantity data and then you can transfer it in your SD Card later. but i don't know how to do it or what 3rd party software i must install?
Please help! Tnx!
Today, while tethered to my laptop, I unplugged the micro USB cable from my Imagio before actually pressing the "Disconnect" button in Internet Sharing.
Normally I press the "Disconnect" button and then "safely remove"/eject the drive that subsequently pops up in Windows, but that take a few seconds, and, like, I have stuff to do! I suppose I just wanted to see what would happen.
Well, it apparently corrupted the file structure on my storage card, a 16GB Sandisk. Now, the phone won't even recognize it, and when I tether the phone, the laptop asks to reformat, which I haven't done in case the data can be recovered.
Besides some pictures, the data isn't irreplacable, but I'm wondering if this has happened to anyone else. Any recommendations for a free data recovery utility for flash media?
Thanks.
I plug in my phone to my computer and ut charges but it wont connect to computer through DISK DRIVE WTF... I RESET IT TWICE AND NOTHING... ITS NOT CORD OR PHONE CUZ IT CHARGES...
when you plug it in to your PC in a mass storage mode the memory card is locked
the phone acts as a thumbdrive so you can drag and drop files onto your sd card.
theres a prompt that AKSs?(asks) you what mode would you like to connect.
either sync or mass storage.
every phone does it same btw.
Two possibilities-
1. Your card may have gotten corrupted. It's a fairly common occurrence and it will cause your phone to not be able to read it. Plug it into the PC via a card reader & see if you can see any files on it. If it takes an unusually long time for your comp to see it, or if all you see are wierd files with numbers as names, then its corrupted. Even if it loads fine, it wouldn't hurt to reformat it anyway just for the sake of maintenance. I suggest formatting it as fat32 with 64k allocation unit size for the best read speed.
2. Your settings on the phone are incorrect. Go to settings>system>connections>USB to PC and make sure the disk drive option is enabled, and that the "ask me first about USB connection type" option is checked.
If neither of those fixes it, back up your data & try a hard reset. If that STILL doesn't fix it, then your card is dead.
Just wanted to know if anyone else had had issues during transferring data using usb from pc to the device. Generally when I transfer multiple files after about 10MB I'll get a failed transfer on the PC then the device will turn off after 30 seconds. I have tried 2 memory cards and 2 cables as well. I havent tried another PC but I have tested the same files to an older phone and memory card. Last resort I can reset the device as I have yet to tamper with root and bootloader unlock.
Anything???
No, i have moved files larger than 1G without any problems
try using another pc/laptop to be sure its the phone that's the problem and check the back cover is on 100%.
i had problems for hrs until i realized the case was not on proper lol
I have not had any luck locating other people with this issue.
First off let it be noted my note 3 will be replaced tomorrow by a new note 3 (severe signal issues hampering the ability to make or receive any phone calls)
That being said, I was trying to back up some app data and long story short - I'm trying to connect my phone to the pc but the PC refuses to acknowledge it.
When the phone is plugged into the pc (usb 2 - any port) it simply charges the phone and calls it a day. No popups - no notifications - no verizon bloat spam.
I've tried installing samsung drivers via download, I've tried their Kies software. I'm getting nowhere.
Also - an odd thing - I was trying to get Helium (carbon) to work and it had me enable USB Debugging (pretty standard procedure) - When it asked to do that it auto popped up the setting page which was labeled something like "developer settings" (helium actually opened up the setting page for me) and I did - Prior to that and since that point I cannot find that settings page anywhere on the phone, as thats the page I was looking for the "disk mount" option that I'm used to seeing on my tbolt. Helium wont bring it up again either as usb debugging is enabled now.
what in the heck is going on with my gn3???
You can get the Developer Options screen in the settings by going to About Phone and tapping on the Build Number line repeatedly until it says "You are now a developer."
As far as mounting as a disk, that functionality is long gone since the Thunderbolt. There may be a yet unfound way to mount just the external sd card as a drive, but the internal memory is formatted with ext3 or ext4 and windows wouldnt touch it if it could.
Im not sure of your computer setup, but if you are using an OS before Windows 7 you may need to install the MTP porting kit from Microsoft (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=19153). All newer Android phones now use the highly inefficient, annoying MTP protocol to do file transfers through USB.

Just learning about this myself because just changed from note 2 to note 3 and had no problem on note 2. Seems like wifi transfer is a fairly easy way to go. Download something like WiFi File Transfer then you can search hidden folders and such and transfer files. Not as easy as mounting the drive though. Would like to know about other options.
