I plugged in the usb cable to put some mp3 files in my lg g2 and i get an error saying you can't move this folder and then i try to remove the usb and put it back again and then when i open my internal storage its empty...i check it on my phone all my files are gone even the ones that came with the device i guess factory settings will help but i lost all my files very weird...my apps are still installed though.
try using a different usb port, or try another pc/laptop ?

I was previously able to copy files from my pc through USB to the transformer to both the removable and internal memory; however, this week I get a "Cannot copy file; device has stopped responding or is disconnected". I can still browse the files that are there and even delete them, but I cannot copy to either memory area.
I see in XDA and google searched that this error is usually fixed by formatting the drive, but with internal storage?? I dont want to wipe the memory, but I would like to transfer files this way.
I can connect external hard drive through the keyboard dock and transfer files. just not through the provided cable and the PC. I have uninstalled the drivers and rebooted the pc and reinstalled with no luck.
Any ideas are appreciated.
Bump. No ideas?
Btw. I have updated to 3.1 but I had this problem on 3.0
No one else had things problem?
Could it be the cheap ass cable??
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
if i had to guess, i'd just say the cable is bad, or you need to remove and reinstall MTP drivers.
I also have this problem, tried restarting the pad, doesn't work....
If anyone knows how to fix this it'll be greatly appreciated!
Most likely a windows driver issue, try connecting it to a different PC (to narrow down the problem: if it works on a different PC, then we know its a driver issue, if it doesn't then we know the problem is with the Tablet or the cable).
Hey guys,
when I connect my nexus 4 with usb to my pc there are no problem
I can browse my internal storage but when I change a folder name it won't work, my pc goes crazy .
I have to unplug my device and plug it back in in order to connect it again.
Copy and moving of data works flawless , only changing the folder names does not work.
Does anyone have an idea?

i used to have MTP bugs similar to this on my one X
usually a restart of the phone solved them
I tried your advice but still it does not work.
What I noticed is that when I create a folder on my phone and then plug it via usb to my pc the folder is vanished. My pc does not recognize my created folder. I have to restart my phone in order to see the folder on my pc.
Same problem here.
i'm using win8, pac man rom.

This might be related to the refreshing mechanism. The folder you created does not vanish, just have not been updated. Maybe an SD card refresh app, like Rescan SD card, would work.
This is typical with MTP, however I haven't had these issues using a Nexus device with Windows 8. If all else fails, you're better off using an Android file manager to rename the folders.

Do you see the issue when copying to external sd or internal sd? Do you see the issue when copying large or small files?
I have seen this when using non-stock cable, when copying large files.
It doesn't matter large or small files and tried different or cables

i removed usb drivers and reinstalled them and its working now
I've tried googling this, I'm finding a thousand articles that aren't related to what I want to do.
I want to plug in my phone via USB and be able to see what is taking up so much room and then transfer those files using my computer.
I don't want to connect it as a media device or camera.
I can't remember how I did that before or if I'm thinking of my old skyrocket.
PS. I booted to recovery mode and plugged it in, it's not recognizing on my computer in recovery mode.
USB Mass Storage was removed by Google in Android 4.1.2.

With the MTP mode (Media Transfer Protocol) you can transfer all types of files
Check the current USB settings with *#0808#
I use the program

But I guess that you can't use that for internal storage. Just USB mounted SD card.
After unmounting, all the device storage folders vanished. I tried restarting but it got stuck so I plugged out the power cable. I plugged it back in and I was able to see them again BUT my USB Drive was being detected as a memory card in FX File Manager. Even Xplore and Solid show it with the SD card symbol. FX shows a USB option, but when I click on I get this error (

).
When I plug the drive in, I get a message saying "SanDisk Cruzer Blade safely ejected" and then in a few seconds later, the drive shows up like it would normally do. I did a complete FAT32 format of my USB Drive but still no change. I even used a different USB port. Nothing worked.
I have a Mi Box S/4K which doesn't have any problem with the same operations so I am sure there is some problem with my TV Box.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Try installing ES File explorer. Then plug the drive in and see if it shows as a USB.
Then try use it through it.Uninstall then restart the box.
If that dosent work.
Restart to recovery through adb or the button combination for your box.
Clear cache and reboot. See if it works without issues after that.

I tried both, but it didn't work.
It would suck but you could reset the box to factory and reformat the drive. But you would lose everything.

I am sorry, I should have updated this post. I managed to fix the problem by a method I found on the Shield forums (https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforc...no-only-shows-as-safely-ejected-cann/2217355/). But I have ran into a similar problem again.
I installed Aiden's ROM. After opening my USB Drive through the file manager pre installed on the ROM, the USB drive started to be recognized as a media card. I cleared defaults and data and it seemed to fix the problem but when I installed the original firmware of the box, the box can't write to the USB drive anymore. Same with my external hard drive.
