I think it started after I updated to the new Samsung UI.
So I plug in the tablet to the usb (it sees it as the mpt device in 'mobile devices' section of my computer), navigate to the folder. When I am dragging files over to copy it gives the warning, that I won't be able to play back it (which is wrong). Than it thinks for a moment and states, that cannot copy file due to device was not recognized ot something.
I've installed the latest version of Kies for Win7, so all latest USB drivers are installed.
And anyway, how to turn off this crapy MPT connection? I want to use the tablet as a USB flash.
I'm not sure what causing that, but it might be worth reinstalling the drivers. If you start Kies, there's an option to do that.
No, it does not help. I reinstalled the driver via Kies and also manually.
I can copy back and forth small files, but as soon as I wanto to copy a 400Mb movie - it just looses connection with device.
the movie has to be no more than 3gig, either resize the movie with handrake or split the movie in half with HJsplit 3.0 and then transfer it, i would suggest using wifi explorer pro to transfer, works %100
When I connect my Nexus 7 to my Windows XP (SP3) PC via USB, it's obvious the computer recognizes it and it tries to install ADB drivers. Whether I choose to install those drivers or not, I still can't locate my device in the Windows Explorer Tree. I checked Disk Management for the hell of it and nothing but my PC's harddrives were there. There's an attempt to install drivers for "MTP" but that fails and I'm pretty sure that's the cause; however, I'm unable to replicate it, even as I uninstall/reinstall applicable drivers from the device manager the MTP failure never happens anymore. I did some googling and found a thread with someone who had a similiar experience. In turn, I downloaded https://www.box.com/s/2c25e8bc42ecce400afd to try a different set of drivers. Same problem. Driver install is fine for ADB, but still unable to see my device in Windows Explorer. I'm able to successfully connect the device to the PC with PTP for the camera. I can access DCIM and cache which can serve as a work around, but I'm hoping you can provide any ideas you might have. Thank you!
edit - ***resolution***: Ok, I figured it out...I had to disable USB debugging. I don't know if this helped either, but I installed these drivers as an alternative to the drivers that were originally installed: https://www.box.com/s/2c25e8bc42ecce400afd
While connected to PC, I switched to PTP mode because I was about to give up and just use that
I then disabled usb debugging and switched back to MTP at which point the drivers successfully installed and I could now view my device in Windows Explorer. I also believe downloading the drivers in the link above helped since the first crack I took at this was unsuccessful with existing drivers.
install pdanet on pc and it will install drivers for u so it will be recognized

Been battling with this on my XP machine since yesterday. I couldn't even get debugging to work until I installed NakedDriver. And even still, there seems to be no way to get MTP to work without turning debugging off. On my Win7 machine everything worked perfectly, both ADB and MTP, right out of the box. I have the Galaxy Nexus drivers installed on both machines (which I've read are compatible with the N7). I also have the latest version of Windows Media Player (I've read that some older versions have issues with MTP). Is anyone else able to run ADB and MTP on XP?
*edit*
A: Does PDAnet let you use MTP and ADB simultaneously? Because I really don't want to install it if I don't have to. I got rid of it ages ago (too many things starting up at boot time).
B: I have a Galaxy Nexus also, and I have no issues on the XP box.
I wouldn't bother with MTP, it's not always showing the contents of the internal storage properly when viewed in Windows Explorer.
Earlier today when I was trying to set up a backup profile for it, it didn't copy all the files off. On closer inspection I found folders like TitaniumBackup to be completely empty, which is not true according to ES File Explorer on the tablet.
I tried connecting MTP again, with USB Debugging on and off but this made no difference. Also I'm only seeing the Notifications folder instead of 36 folders on the internal storage now, really random how it's working.

Same here. No change with the Asus drivers. Still can't use MTP when ADB is turned on.
poo. how do I transfer my audiobooks to this stupid device without working drivers?
1. Please disconnect Nexus7
2. Remove drivers on PC.
3. Toggle ON : Settings->Wireless&Networkings->More->NFC.
4. Re-connect device
Good luck !

1. Uncheck MTP, check the one next to it (Camera)
2. Unplug USB
3. Turn off USB Debugging (Uncheck it)
4. Plug in USB
5. Should say connected as camera, then a new window will pop-up allowing you to see your files.
Tell me if it works!
im having trouble too, is there any way to make the device to be recognised as a flash drive?

Same observation here (a few months later) on stock Android 4.1.1 rooted.
It seems that new files in the internal memory remain invisible for a long time, but so far they have become visible eventually, sometimes a day or two later. I have no clue what could possibly cause this, and I have not found any trick or workaround that makes them visible, not even rebooting. Any hint is welcome.

Didn't work. Just shows up as a camera with the limited folder access one would expect.
Workaround
I now use the following workaround.
Install SDrescan from Google Play.
Run it.
If you already had your phone connected to a computer as a media device (MTP) and are watching the contents of your SD card or internal memory in Windows Explorer, press F5 to refresh your view. If not, connect it now.
I'd be curious whether this works for you as well. If it does, press the THANKS button below.
Same issue with an old ibm x40 udated to windows xp pro SP3.
I've installed mtp driver, without success
I've "tried" to install asus driver, without success
I've tried to do as above with the help of the nexus toolkit, without success.
Everytime, the laptop recognize the device as android ADB interface.
Someone could help me?
Thank you in advance

Hi
How do I recover deleted PDF files from my Nexus 7 ?
When I connect to Win 8 it comes up as a media device, not a disk so I can't use Recuvva.
When I connect it to a MAC it doesn't seem to do any thing..
Any ideas ? I really need to get these files back !
Thanks
If you were able to switch it to mass storage, it would work, but idk if you can do that without root.

You do not need root to connect via mtp. You do need to have the right drivers installed, the original cable, developer options turned on, usb debugging enabled, and mtp selected. Don't know about Macs though.

I know, but we don't want MTP. MTP doesn't allow it to show up as a disk.

MTP does in fact connect as a disk drive. When I connect I see my sdcard (Internal storage) and all the files and folders in it. I can copy, move, create and delete files, folders, etc. I use it to copy any sort of file to or from the N7. You are confused with PTP, which is a camera interface for pictures, etc.
You can recover deleted files from none rooted android phone, see this solution: Recover data from unrooted android phone
hope this helps.
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.

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.
When using the stock OOS, I can connect my phone to my computer and the file transfer works just fine. My phone shows up on my computer as normal. However, whenever I'm using a custom ROM (so far all of them have had this problem), file transfer does not work because I can't get my computer to recognize the phone. Debugging is on, and the configuration is also set for file transfer. Oddly enough I can get my computer to recognize the phone if it's in PTP mode, but it immediately dissapears when I select file transfer. I haven't had any luck finding a fix for this.
just installing google usb driver worked for me https://developer.android.com/studio/run/win-usb
