[Q] Copy huge files [PC > USB]

Hello everyone!
I'm using Windows 7 [64 bits] and I wanted to know if someone has found a solution in order to copy huges files (2 gb video files for example) via USB to the Iconia Tab A500?
In fact Explorer.exe is always crashing during the copy (or in the beginning of it)
I don't have any Wifi at home at the moment, so I can't copy via Wifi thanks to File Expert for example.
If you have an idea, please share it, seams strange that it looks impossible to do it.
Thanks!

Copy the files to a flash drive and plug flash dive into tablet?

Thanks for your response.
Yes that's a solution, but there's no faster solution? Where's the problem with Explorer.exe crashing?

I have Win7 x64 and I have never had that problem. Sorry...
ummm, have you tried a different cable? Or come to that, a different USB port on your computer?

Use android commander. It works great

Does your tablet show up under device manager in the control panel? Or under admin panel -> storage? Might be a conflicting letter the drive is trying to grab with one thats already used. If u see tablet in storage in the admin panel -> control panel. Try changing the letter assigned to it.

Sounds like a driver issue. Try uninstalling all the USB drivers for the Acer, then download and reinstall the latest drivers.

N7 will not connect as MTP

So recently my N7 had problems connecting as MTP, it will connect at camera but it wont copy any files to it.
It had no problems connecting before and all of a sudden it stopped. My Gnex will still connect as MTP so i know its not my computer.
I have done a full wipe and put 4.2.2 on the device.
Does anyone have any idea what could be going wrong?
Thank you

[Q] Nexus 4 not recognized by pc at all

So I plug my stock unrooted but unlocked, stock recovery 4.3 nexus into my windows 7x64 PC or windows7x86 laptop and it doesn't get recognized at all. The computer doesn't know it's there... I tried debugging mode but didn't work either, I just removed the abd drivers to make sure it wasn't their fault but no effect.
Sometimes the computer sees something unknown but doesn't want to install drivers to it. I think it's a hardware defect, the cable is confirmed working fine, charging also works fine but the phone does nothing in the pc. Yesterday it sort of worked, bad, but it did get recognized after trying ten times, now nothing at all.
Please can anyone tell me what is going on??? I need to install custom recovery to reset the phone but I can't get any files on it.

at the moment my laptop sees something, but nothing more than unknown, as shown in the image attatched

Enable USB debbuging in your phone. Go to Settings -> about phone -> tap about 10 times on build number item until USB debbuging is unlocked.
Also, on your computer go to the device manager, look for your phone, if you find it, right click on it, then update Driver Software, browse computer, Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer, USB composite device
That should do it.

it doesn't show up in device manager, not even a unrecognized device, nothing.

If you see a unrecognized device in the "Devices and printers" list, as shown in your screenshot, then it should show up in the device manager as well...
If you can't find it, just use the one displayed right there in your screenshot (if it really is your phone).
- right click on it
- Properties
- Hardware tab
- Properties again
- Driver
- Update driver
- proceed as explained above

The windows plug in plug out sound is now sounding about every 10 seconds, in out in out, could it be the phone has a broken connection? the micro usb? still nothing just unrecognized, mass storage is ticked, but doesn't make difference whatsoever, disabling developer options doesn't help either. computer keeps saying it already has the latest drivers.
I recently flashed all the new stuff I downloaded at the official google site where you downlaod the latest 4.3, I flashed using nexus 4 toolkit the files as shown in the second image. I think this might have broke it, but that would be very unfortunate because there would be no way to ever flash different recovery or install another rom/kernel, or is there?

Also, phone doesn't get recognized in fastboot or adb, but it did before

and now the phone gets recognized as normally would, nothing changed, what the ...?

sorry for wasting your time, I figured out my nexus has a broken connection, it's still usable though when I do it right.

I guess I have the same problem. I also replaced the USB flex, but the problem persists. How can you connect it properly to the computer?
Thanks

Well my Nexus 4 is hardware broken but I can still charge it fine, its just the computer connection that barely works, today I was lucky enough to be able to flash custom recovery to it while holding the phone sideways, it worked just for the moment, not anymore rightnow. I guess I'm kinda screwed and you might be too....
This isn't covered by warranty is it? I think I have water damage which isn't covered I know for sure, I just can't tell if it was the water that did the damage.

Are you guys sure it's a problem with your cable/phone plug and not your USB socket or internal hub? Have you tried different sockets?

My problem is gone it was probably because it was on usb fast charge. Check if that was the problem

OK, try installing a different ROM like cyanogenmod 10 and then see if the computer connection works again

Well, unspecified is really not helpful when trying to find the problem...
Have you tried another USB port? What driver do your use to connect to your phone? At which file does the transfer break off? Have you tried skipping that if it's not important?
Also consider using some backup tool instead of manually copy/pasting the phones content.

Try to install drivers manually. My phone always copies files with USB debugging. Just tap Build Number about 10 times in About phone in Settings and go to Developer Options and enable USB debugging. When you plug in your phone to the computer and try transferring a file, it should work.
This is why I don't like the Nexus 4, it doesn't have an sdcard slot.
