[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.

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?????

[Q] File transfer workaround

I'm wondering what others file transfer workaround is.
For larger movie files (1-2GB), I have been uploading one by one to Dropbox, then downloading onto my tab. But this is awfully time consuming.
Anyone have a better workaround until File Transfer recognizes the 10.1?

I'm really confused by all these threads about file transfer not working
I have had no problems whatsoever
is it because you are using a mac?

i have file transfer problems, too. trying to transfer a huge file / large number of files via usb and windows file explorer just aborts the transfer after a few minutes without any error message.
currently im using "wifi explorer" fpr transmitting files to my tablet. it's a cool app i've already been using on my android phone, too. with this tool you can access your tablet/phone with a browser (web-interface), once you've started wifi explorer and you're connected to your wifi.

It's not so much so a specifically Mac issue or Windows machine issue, apparently quite a few of the IO tabs just simply cannot or won't be recognized by either OS. I know of this first hand cuz neither my Mac nor Windows 7 ultimate machines see my tab.
Uplinked through my mind

I found out that the computer won't pick up your device if USB Debugging mode is on. After I disabled that and had the KIES drivers installed, Windows picked up the device without any problems.

Connecting S3 to PC / Mac

Got my s3 today, but the phone wont show up on my PC or my mac when connected via usb, anyone else having this issue?

i know for mac, if you go to www.android.com/filetransfer you can download a file transfer program. The moment you connect your S3 to your mac the program kicks in and shows both your internal memory as well as your external memory. Then its just a matter of click and drag of course.
As for PC, it probably doesnt pop up, but if you go to computer as if your navigating to you drive, it should show up as a media device. Not sure if both internal and external will show (havent used on pc yet)
Hope this helps, hit thanks if you got somewhere

It's not in the my computer window ;(

the file transfer app doesn't work with my s3. I have to use kies.

Did u install Samsung Kies?
If yes and still no recognition then check this out ...

If your on XP you need to have Windows Media Player 10 or higher.

the S3 doesnt mount to the pc by default.. but there is app in the themes and app section that will let you mount your phone to pc

Make sure you have your phone USB mode to 'PTP' when connected to AFT. The S3 defaults to MTP and AFT won't see your phone in this setting.

The same with Linux, (or Ubuntu with 3.4.2 kernel anyway) I can view the drives, but the computer crashes when halfway through copying any file to/from.

Problems with stock Nexus 10 4.3 USB

Hey all.
I have a 4.3 stock Nexus 10 that I'm having some problems with USB. I can create and modify folders using ES File Manager on my tablet, but when I try to view the USB of my Nexus 10 on my PC they don't show up. This is a problem as it means I can't modify/edit/delete etc the folders on my PC. Does anyone else have this problem, or a fix for it?
Thanks!

Hi,
Did you try another PC? This issue never happened to me before, but it looks like your PC isn't recognizing your tablet folders correctly. Does the folder still exists after you exit ES File Manager?

There are some limitations on the stock Nexus 10 when using a media server (i.e. MTP). Most Nexus devices that have a microSD card support MTP and provide full access via USB connection. Since the N10 does not have a microSD option, you don't have MTP support and have to use PTP instead as your USB connection which will only provide limited access. For rooted N10s there are other alternatives that can be found using a google search and/or these forums.
Because of this, I personally use an OTG connection to transfer large files or use AirDroid. In emergency situations, I have pushed and pulled files from the N10 using Nexus 10 Toolkit or Wugfresh's Nexus Toolkit.

Maybe you have "USB debugging" activated in Settings\Developer Options\Debugging. Turn USB Debugging OFF and your PC will see your N10.
Another possibility is the Drivers are not updated or not correctly installed in PC. Good Luck!

Hey all. I think it may just be an app-specific problem. I was using Manga+ to download manga, and whilst it'd show up in ES File Explorer, it wouldn't over USB. However, if I compressed the folder with ES File Explorer, it'd show up. Well, it's a pain but at least I can access the files. Thanks!

Transfer issue

Hi guys,
I have an issue with my Note 3. I connected my device to my PC via the original usb cable. I tried to transfer files from my PC to Note 3 but no success. Every time same messages appear (check the attached files). My PC runs Win XP SP 2 and I think all usb ports are 2.0.
I tried to transfer files with USB debbuging enabled on the smartphone but no success, same messages appear.
I have success only via Bluetooth.
P.S. My device is not rooted and I don't want to root it.
Please help me.
Thanks in advance.

Have you tried Airdroid? I had the same problem with big files through USB,stopped every time @ 95%, saying my cable is not connected. Installed Airdroid and now the file(s) transfer ok.

Kies
> and if u have these try to update them or reinstall
:good:

Hi,
I tried to install kies 3.0 but I couldn't because kies 3.0 needs XP SP3 and above. My PC runs XP SP2.
I installed the latest usb drivers (I tried with 1.5.27.0 and after that 1.5.29.0) and still have the issue.
I do not want to root my device.

no root=no file tranfer:good:

Wrong. - You can plug it into your PC and open the device choose Movies/Download/Music/random folder etc and copy across.
As for the issue, it could be because the file is an old XVID codec, sometimes phones hate XVID, and obviously SP2 isn't exactly the best update you can use, Can you try and get SP3? - If not, try using KIES as stated previously Or a WiFi transfer app.

If you can't get Kies 3.0 installed because of OS issues, try installing the latest of Kies 2. At the least, it should install proper USB drivers so you can at least see the device. You don't have USB 3 hardware, so you don't need any of the latest additions the driver supports, and I know the previous Kies drivers worked to see the Note 3 when I first got it. Kies wouldn't support it, but at least I could transfer files.

The first message (about an incompatible file type) is an Android bug. Ignore it, it happens on every device for nearly ecery filetype (even jpeg) and with every connected OS.
Because the file type is not recognized as an Android file type by Windows, it tells you that the device can't natively play that file. You'd need an app. Which we have, called Stock Player or Gallery or any media app, but Windows can't see installed apps on Android.
It has nothing to do with vodecs or containers or root. It's just Windows being ridiculous.
Just say Yes To All.
As for the can not copy.. My TF700 does this, because it disconnects whenever the screen turns off. Are you using a battery saver that disabled connections when the screen is off?
You don't need root or KIES or USB debugging or any other bull**** to use filetransfer to a PC. Just a cable and a USB port.
Anyone who seems to think otherwise is an idiot who aparently isn't even capable of connecting a cable and opening Windows Explorer.

Hi,
I tried with the latest Kies version before kies 3.0. Actually my PC recognizes Note 3 but I have still the issue. I tried with several file types - avi file, as I mentioned below, doc file, mp3 file. First message appears, I click on yes to all and after that the second one appears and I click on skip all. Actually I tried with all opportunities - still have the issue, the files cannot be copy on the phone.
I use the stock battery saver and DU battery saver app from google play. I checked the options but I didn't find any option which disconnects the device when the screen is off.

I think its an issue with transferring large files. Every time I try to tranfer a file around the size of say 2 or 3 gb i get that error.

When connected, drag down the notification center, click usb options(or however its called) and swap from mtp to ptp mode
hit 'thanks' if i helped you

That's the gayiest solution ever, converting videos!
Don't use XP as it doesn't know what vfat is. If you're gona use XP then format your SD card as fat but you will have a 2GB file limit.
Large files use Win7 or a 3rd party app.
I have no problems with large files, 8GB mkv is no problem using Win7.

Follow these steps:
1. Install all video codecs
2. Install kies 3 with all usb drivers.
3. Connect phone, open kies, open phone folder top right corner in kies.
4. Copy file-message appears that file not supported, still continue and voilà.

Hi,
I tied with both mods mtp and ptp - no success. These days I'll try with kies 3.0 but first I will have to update my XP to SP3.
