GT-I9505 and Win 8.1 RTM - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guy, I wrote from Italy
I've bought an used S4 (Official Rom LP 5.0.1), and and I had problems with pc connection.
Since I connect phone usb cable to my pc with Windows 8.1 RTM, immediatly I've had problems because the OS identyfied with its folder the phone and after some second the phone hiddens without I did nothing. Infact while I tried to copy my data in internal storage the copy was interrupted.
Driver Samsung (1.5.51) are installed. Infact in download mode it's recognized correctly and Odin detect usb port.
Another info after rooted and in recovery (cwm or twrp) I try to mount internal storage but it is impossible to select and nothing happens.
Now with SlimLp 5.1.1 when the phone is connect to pc Led is green but OS doesn't recognize it.
Thanks

This isn't a problem with the S4, but with Windows 8.1. I don't remember how or if I solved it on my XPS 18 tablet.
Questo non è un problema con la S4, ma con Windows 8.1. Non ricordo come o se ho risolto il mio XPS 18 tablet.

I find cabled connection always unreliable for the s4. Use something like Airdroid. It never let's me down.

No me neither, but on my Macbook the file transfer sucks. That's why I use Airdroid. It's even faster for transfering then a wired connection.

[Q] How to Transfer files to the 10.1 via Windows 7

Hi All,
I've tried everything, including the usb drivers from the root guide and installing the Samsung Kies Mini program, but I can't get Windows to recognize the memory on the device. I want to transfer some movies on the Galaxy and have not been able to figure it out.
When I run the Kies software it says "plug in your usb" and when I plug in the Galaxy nothing happens...
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
It should work by just plugging in the usb/connector cable. You don't need Kies (doesnt support the 10.1 anyway right now)
When your pc does not recognize your tab, something is fishy about your pc/ usb.
USB connection should work:
(Autoplay should pop up
Select open device to connect (GT-P7510)
Click on phone
Select directory to copy file to)
Sounds like a PC problem. (Look in device manager and see if your USB controllers are ok)
Looked at Device Manager, no issues under USB.
Comes up as an Android phone...
forget the cable...
try 'Samba Fileshare' app free from the Market.
Connect to your 10.1 over WiFi and send files to it via the shared folder it creates.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.funkyfresh.samba&feature=search_result
Worked fine for me without installing anything.
On another note, the Kies software does seem to somewhat support the 10.1 as it installed the required adb drivers when I chose it from the menu.
im having problems too.... for now I am using dropbox.
I have a shared folder on my PC and use ES File Explorer over Wifi, it's simple and works a treat. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop&feature=search_result

I had to disable USB Debugging to get mine to pop up. Took me a while.
Oh thank God I am not the only one having this problem,,, i have tried every driver combo out there plus leaving USB debugging off and still i get nothing on my windows 7 machine. I have tried three different machines and all the same so it is not a computer issue i think it is a driver issue or a interface with the tab????
Interesting thing though is that I can push via ADB all day it that connects easy!!! WTF?????

First reboot your PC. If this not works, try another USB port. Seems that your PC is the problem.

How To Get Windows 8.1 To Recognise USB Mass Storage On Your Phone​
I have had the problem for ages that when I connected my Samsung Galaxy GT-S5360 into my Windows 8.1 PC nothing happened - Windows 8.1 simply refused to recognise the device - not even anything in device manager - nothing - nada
However it would recognise the phone if I set the phone to download mode - but I want to use my phone as mass storage
Well after months of trying I finally found a really stupid solution
Solution
Install the usb drivers for your phone as normal
connect the phone to pc via usb cable (nothing happens other then a few beeps as normal)
now plug in any usb dongle that you have already installed on your pc - like a usb wireless mouse dongle
suddenly windows detects the phone and you can now set your phone to mass storage from the phone status bar
Every time you want to connect your phone in mass storage just plug it in then plug in the other usb dongle after

no - read the thread fully - at no point do I mention odin
you just need to plug your phone in then plug in any other usb dongle and the option to connect to mass storage will appear in the phones status bar
You mean connect my Galaxy Y with Windows 8.1 first, and then what's the USB dongle(is this like flash drive, wired mouse or something?) will detect it in phone status bar?

JIAYU S3 - Windows 7 64b drivers?!? WTF HOW?????

This is about the hardest phone i got to install some windows drivers! This piece of **** drives me nuts!!
I'm about 5 secs away from smashing it onto my desk and trow it out of the window!!
Damm...
For about 2 weeks or so it worked just fine, i could connect usb to my pc and access all my files. Internal as external sd.
Now i just can't anymore... made a bunch of pictures today and wanted to transferr them to my desktop. NOPE!
When i open explorer and browse to my phone it shows 2 or three maps and then the green progress bar coms up and
the **** hangs! It takes about an hour (if i let is go on) to find some more maps.. but very slooooooooooow!
If i click on a map nothing happens... internal as external can't acces... everytime i try i see 2 or 3 maps and then the **** hangs.
Tried to restart pc serveral times, makes no difference
Tried delete S3 in device manager and reinstall, makes no difference
Tried to install a bunch of other usb drivers, makes no difference except that my pc did not like that at a certain point
Tried to uninstall all the usb drivers and restart desktop, hopefully do it with a clean install, makes no difference
I just don't know what to do, or what driver to install!?! I came from a samsung and that was sooooooo easy to install..
Plug it in, install drivers, root, flash and ****.
Jiayu... NOOO!! Preloader, ADB driver, MTK driver MTP driver... arrrgh... WTF!?!
HELP!!!!

do you have USB debugging ON (Developer options) ? If so, perhaps try with USB debugging OFF.
I really don't see whats the problem with drivers
Using, Win7 i've been using the same mtk drivers for the past 2+ years
Disable UAC, check firewall, etc

Your problem is that you never installed the driver package properly.
Anyway. When i remember right you have Win7.
Download the All MTK USB Driver_.9.2+PDanet+Adb Installer.
Go to folder Universal Android USB Driver and install
UniversalAdbDriverSetup6.msi.
This will give full access to phone memory and SD.

you should be able to access MTP or USB storage without the drivers if you previously used MTP on your Samsung phone. i have found installing MTK drivers fairly easy, be it on windows 7,8 or 10. BTW what ROM are you using?
@Dior DNA
Yes, tried it on and off, same result. Even tried mass storage or media-device..
@superdragonpt
I'm on admin account. Why firewall check? If i access usb it doesn't go trough firewall..
It did work before, and nothing realy changed.
@1testi
I downloaden loads of packages and tried them all. The one you named i just installed again and the first attempt to
browse external sd worked! So i tried internal sd and the same as before.. shows about 4 maps and then the green
progress bar slowly loading.... takes about forever! When i try entering a map my explorer hangs and does not react
anymore. Tried external sd again and shows all maps, but when i click on any of them the green loading bar appears..

I use TF Extreme ROM with lolipop 5.1
And now it even conflicts with my mouse... after a while on usb suddenly i hear the disconnect sound and my mouse is not moving anymore. When i unplug my phone, the mouse is working after a few seconds. And i see an Unknown Device in devicemanager with exclamation mark.

Most probably ROM issue.
lol.....throw away that phone :v kidding xD Try backing up data then factory reset or reinstall a rom or use a different one. If that does not work. Reinstall win 7.
Do you have USB3 ports on that pc?
Yes i have..
Most probably a cable problem. Dont use the Jiayu cable !!
Win 7 needs USB-3.0-Host-Controller-Driver. Did you installed them?
I use the white cable probably from Jiayu, but when i first had the phone i used another cable and that gave me troubles installing the drivers. So i used the white one and then the device was reconized and i could install drivers. I just ordered a proffesional platina cable, so i hope thats the problem! But i don't think so, because my Samsung Tab 4 works like a charme on that cable, so why not my Jiayu?
USB 3.0 installed correctly, see attachemend.

Something is blocking the driver during installation, that´s why you have the unknown device. Go to the "software" section and delete everything from former installations, eg ADB.
This is from a Win7 Ultimate, only with Universaladbdriver for access to phone and sd memory. The S3 is there as full_h560!
When the phone WAS working a few days ago, there was a "S3" under portable device. I guess thats the same as full_h560?
And under "YunOS" there was an ADB device, but the YunOS is gone now and i can't get it back??

Jap its the same. S3 or full_h560 or... depends on the driver you are using.
Back to your screenshot. Was the S3 switched off or on when you took it? I dont understand it. The preloader/Media Tek
driver should be only visible with switched off S3. The unknown device in the USB section is the S3 without driver. That
should be visible only with switched on S3. In your screenshot there are both at the same time...very strange.
I´m running out of ideas. As said, try to delete everything related to S3 and Drivers, ADB and PDA drivers and install them
again.
The YunOS was in the device manager of a Win 8.1 machine with optional Windows Update package Ayun.
The S3 was on. Those mediatek drivers i installed when my phone was bricked 3 weeks ago.
But that did not matter last week wen the phone was still working..
BUT... today the new cable came in and i just tried it. Works like a charme!! It was never this quick before!? :laugh:
So a good quality cable does a lot!!
Thanx again for the ideas!

Problem with Transferring files on my PC

Hi. I bought a Redmi Note 7 Global 32GB/3GB yesterday and I have problem with transferring files
When I connect my phone to my PC (win 10) via it's USB cable, a menu appears with 3 options on the phone:
*No data transfer
*File transfer
*Transfer photos (PTP)
No matter which one I choose, In all 3 situations a partition appears in "This PC" which is empty and there is no file or folder in it. When I commit to copy a file to it, this error shows up:
Cannot copy item
This device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected
I've no problem with my honor 3c (android 4.4) and other phones on my PC, Also they have MTP option which connects so fast and let me transfer all file and folders.
What should I do?
It's kind of weird because now the phone is recognized and working well via USB 3 but USB 2 still has the above-mentioned problem.
I also have an old pc which I have linux lite, Chalet OS, and lubuntu on it. surprisingly file transfer works on linux lite and chalet OS via USB 1.1 - 2.0.
Can anyone use file transfer on windows via USB 2 port?
Hey man, I just bought the same phone today, 32/3gb and global, when I tried to connect it the first time that happened and I got scared.
I researched a bit and did a few things, deleted the drivers and the device in windows 10 device manager, reinstalled them and factory resetted my phone, and now is working well. I think the factory reset did the trick.
I hope this helps you. Cheers.

Hey. Thanks for sharing your solution. So you've experienced the same problem. Did you test USB 3 before uninstalling drivers and resetting your phone?
Are you able to see your phone's content and transfer via USB 2?

Hello, sorry for the late response, I hope you found a solution early, but if not, I used both USB 2.0 and 3.0 (I think that's what you're referring to) and it did not work, after the reset and unistallation of drivers, both of them worked. I also have to say that I was using the cable issued in the box where the phone came, I'm still using it without trouble.
