Anyone get it to sync with their mac

I downloaded the android mac tool and it still doesn't read my tab 10.1. It reads and connects my xoom but not the galaxy tab.

Not compatible with Mac (yet? ever?). I've actually had to go dig an old XP HDD out of storage so that I can adb and transfer files back and forth.

that sux balzzz

No luck for me either...
Doesn't work for me either. After doing the 3.1 update for my LE Tab tonight I tried the Android File Transfer program with "usb debugging" both enabled and disabled but with no luck either way. I even tried re-downloading the Android File Transfer app from Google but it's the same version that's been up there since April.
Any Mac folks have a workaround besides using the painfully slow ddms debugger interface or doing network-based transfers (like smb or ftp)?

I think you need to use this. I haven't tried it yet though.

we did doesnt work thanks

Hasn't worked for me either. I'm assuming that Android should the update to the app ready by next week for the Tab's wide release but that's wishful thinking. What about the Xoom and Transformer owners who also got the 3.1 update.:-\

Wait is this for real... A friend of mine and I just got ousr at the NY event, but a friend has to ship them to us. Will it not work with Macs? My friend has a Mac book... This would be terrible news...

At the moment, no it does not sync with Macs. Th Android File Transfer app hasn't been updated yet with the proper "drivers" to sync with Mac, but it should get updated soon. This isn't a "forever" type deal

I picked mine up yesterday, no syncing. Kies doesn't even recognize the device yet. Works with windows 7 though.
Interestingly, Adobe Lightroom is able to find the tab on my macbook.

I would just keep checking here:
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/GT-P7510MAVXAB
They had a Mac version that I downloaded before they took it down and it works. Not sure exactly why they took it down. Sorry I didn't save the dmg file.

i'm on the same boat, my xoom was working fine with SL, but my SGT doesn't work

I have been using FTP (SwiFTP on the marketplace) to transfer files until samsung or google get this fixed. I find this to be a ridiculous problem to be having.

Also, I tried Samsung Kies BETA for Mac and no dice.

@NoLeftTurns You're welcome! Glad your enjoying it! Kies for Mac will be here soon, we'll keep you posted! =) ^Sabrina

I'd prefer Kies-less entry honestly. (sorry for the pun...i had too ) I've been using ES File Explorer to connect to my NAS device and grabbing files from there. Far from ideal, but it could be worst

I just downloaded the latest version of kies and it seems to be working fine on my 2011 macbook pro... anyone know why the GT won't charge when it is plugged in, tho? i just have a red X over the battery...

I think i read somewhere what the SGT cant charge it with the usb cable connected to a computer port, my SGT indicate the same X with my MBP.
The kies app with the least samsung drivers works fine, but is bad i cant mount the sdcard like a hd storage.

Because the Tab requires more power than your USB port can provide.

Am I Missing Something? WTF? How Do I Connect to a Computer?

Love the device. Great build, feels nice - just like everyone else says.
Why would anyone release a device that can't connect to a computer to transfer files? Am I missing something? I've tried connecting on Mac and Windows and searched high and low for drivers, tips, tricks, etc. Don't tell me Dropbox or some other back door solution. The whole reason I bought Android (I already have 2 ipads) is to eliminate itunes. Why would I want to have to use a software solution to transfer files - I would just stay with itunes if that were the case. I have an EVO 4G that mounts as a hard drive and when I load files the app recognizes (photo, music, video) and plays it. WTF!!!!!!
Can someone help? NO I AM NOT INTERESTED IN SOME STUPID WORKAROUND spending 30 hours at the risk of bricking and voiding warranty ending up with some laggy piece of crap custom ROM just to do ONE SIMPLE TASK - DRAG AND DROP! No offense, I respect what you hard cores do. I don't have time. I need $500 devices to work as expected.
Oh yeah, stupid POS wouldn't play an AVI file either. No idea why. Don't really care. It took 2 hours to transfer a file via Dropbox. Not doing that again.
Suggestions welcome. My Samsung Tab 10.1 is currently for sale on ebay. Maybe I'll take it down if some kind soul out there can help me figure this out.

Had the same issue. You just need the correct drivers for your PC. Hope that helps.

Try installing this on your mac - Android File Transfer
For some reason, Honeycomb devices don't mount as regular mass storage device, but rather under the Microsoft MTP protocol (verified when my friend with a mac told me I needed to install the Anrdoid File Transfer when I connected his Xoom to my Win7 laptop. I told him he's crazy, but he didn't know since he never connected his Xoom to a PC running Windows).
Hopefully it's fixed for the retail 10.1 tabs.

If you disable "USB debugging," your PC should recognize it as external storage.

I seem to have having the same problem (10.1).
I installed the samsung mobile drivers, and disable usb debugging.
Now when i plug in my tablet it says connected to samsung kies. On windows i get the pop-up for a usb storage connection, but I cant actually view the files and this doesn't show up in my computer.
Do i have to install samsung kies? I only installed the mobile drivers 'Samsung_USB_Driver_P4_Including_Escape'
Any help?

I installed both. My windows 7 identifies it with a mobile phone icon, but under it the sdcard is identified as a tablet(default name). When i connect it to my pc my GT displays "connected / press home key to quit Samsung kie" so I guess kids is requisite.

Thanks for the help. Installed Android File Transfer but still no luck with debugging on or off. It just says "No Android Device Found"
Maybe I have a bad unit or something?
Are there any Mac users out there that have been able to connect? I also have a Vista PC that I will start toying around with.

Use file manager app and do it wirelessly via wifi
It is easy and you dont need a pc ...

I've been having the same problem. It seems that the Android File Transfer program hasn't been updated since the change to 3.1. I'm pretty confident that it'll be fixed shortly. However this is an Android issue not a Samsung issue- . The Xooms and Transformers are having the same problem.

I'm leaning towards that it's a Samsung issue as my friend has both a Xoom and Transformer on 3.1 and Android File Transfer is working fine for them.

I've the 10.1v and I just plugged the usb cable and I saw the device as an external storage. Probably the problem is limited to the I/O devices.
For Divx try downloading "MoboPlayer". I thnink that the default avi player can play only h.264 files

Uhh from when i got my tab i had this problem as well all i did was go into control panel uninstall the drivers installed from the first time of plugging it in .. Then i went onto the tab disabled debugging and connected again let it install its drivers and i was set to go just make sure u have samsung kies installed onto your computer so it can find drivers and once the drivers were installed i went into my computer and it was there named something like pt-901 something lol hopefully this helps..

Thanks for this. Works great. Getting better...
I still don't know how any OEMs are going to gain traction against Apple among the masses who don't have the patience to figure this stuff out. Luckily I have some time on my hands this weekend!
Dropbox is taking about 30 minutes to transfer a 700MB file from my laptop to my box and then DL to the Tab's memory. Not a great solution. Need to figure out this USB file transfer thing.

What codec was used for your AVI file? Xvid? If so, then that's whack of Samsung to list Xvid and AVI as native support under their specifications.

Do you need to install the Samsung Kies onto every computer you want to transfer files via USB with?
Other Android devices I haven't had to install any third party software for this.

Same here. Every other Android device I've had is drag and drop on both Mac and PC which is the main draw for me. EVO, Archos, etc, etc...
I also thought that Samsung claimed native playback for Xvid AVI files...??? Apparently not.

Finally works!!! While I was messing around with drivers for PC I discovered that Samsung posted and updated (June 9th) version of Kies which allows easy files transfer on Mac. Problem solved.
Now I just need to figure out how to charge over USB so I don't have to lug this brick of an AC adapter around and I'm converted!

The above is where I was able to DL both PC drivers and Kies for Mac that WORKS! One thing to note - make sure that you are on the Samsung US site. Originally I was on Samsung.com/ca domain and none of the files would work. When I switched to the US site at Samsung.com (scroll to the bottom to change location) the files worked.

Driver Installation Issues

I am trying to install the Samsung Intercept (Virgin Mobile) on my Windows 7 netbook. I could never connect the device before to either WinXP or Win7. I recently factory reset my phone and after installing the drivers on WinXP, the phone showed that it was connected. I mounted the SD card to the computer and it never showed the drive. I unmounted and disconnected and since then it never connected. I keep getting that it's not recognized.
On my Win7 computer, I installed the drivers (had to force Windows to find the driver). Now the computer senses that it's connected, but it says "the device cannot be started". So I'm thinking that my P.O.S. phone can't figure out wtf USB mode is. It showed it once and that's it.
I've tried probably 3 or 4 different drivers and now I can't figure out how to just start clean. I don't even think I need to because the computer driver installed fine (It says Samsung USB Android whatever when it's connected). I tried with USB debugging on and off.

I even tried to make a virtual Windows XP to try it on a fresh install, but VM won't take unknown USB devices.
I uninstalled all my drivers, even the USB hub drivers, rebooted after the uninstall. No luck.
Before I reinstalled the hub I tried to force XP to the drivers (different ones not the same driver over and over) and now its saying "the file does not contain any information about this device". WTF?!
I'm so confused with this stupid driver that I can't take it anymore. I'm now considering reformatting my computer, but it's not worth it just to root a phone. I'd rather put up with my phone needing a battery pull at least once a day than to lose all my files.

I had the same issue too.
Have you tried using another USB cable? If you're using the cable that came with the phone it wont work (well sometimes). What you can do is find or buy another Micro USB cable for your intercept. You can buy one off amazon for less than $10. I brought mine from Best buy for $20. It works fantastically.

I was seriously considering another cable because I read in some other threads pretty much what you just told me, but I guess I was one of those "on the twelth time it finally connects" type of situations. I connected it last night and it worked. Just need to update my SDK stuff, make sure I have all my info for SuperOneClick, and cross my fingers lol!
Thank you for your advice. If it stops working I'm gettilng a new cable.
[EDIT] and it stopped working... I knew I should've just rooted when I had it connected, but I wanted to back my stuff up. Looks like I'm getting a new cable lol.

[EDIT] You were totally right! It's the cable. I got a Belkin for $15 at Target. I plugged it in and immediately Windows 7 Pro 32-bit detected the drivers, the handset, and installed it. Now time for rooting

I know it's been a couple of months, but I'm curious if you've had any other problems with connecting?
I was having the same problem and I had a few cables that I tried with no luck. I also tried my wife's Blackberry cable, which is a thicker cable that claims to be a "DATA" cable...no go.
I probably will just go buy the Belkin one you referred to if you've had no other problems.
Thanks!

I actually have had no problems (on my Win7 PC) since the install. As for my XP computer, I just gave up on trying to get it to work. Try completely uninstalling every instance of the Samsung programs (I went through my registry *dangerous*) and all things Android and reboot to a fresh power cycle (like with the phone) so Windows can update all its important files reguarding the driver removal. Then install and THEN plugin.
It literally randomly worked for me. I had the drivers installed properly, but the charging cord gave me "bad driver install". I didn't change a thing and plugged in wth the Belkin and was good to go.
Hope you can get it working! I know the anticipation of phone modding, and I love it! Lol!
Sent from my SPH-M910 using Tapatalk

Ditto, ditto and ditto! I have the same thing with my intercept, except I started on win7/64, could not get anything going. Then created an XP VM - over my dead body - no go.
Using the same cable, if I plug in my Captivate, everything comes up.
For you guys, when you bought a different cable, what did you buy? micro-to-micro USB? Or something else?
J

I usually use the cables that came with my HTC phones. Also I have better luck if I reboot the phone prior to connecting it to the PC.

[Q] USB device not recognized

I can't connect my phone to laptop it always shows it as unknown device .I have uninstalled it couple of in device manager and plugged it still same even its in USB debugging enabled .keep rebooting my laptop and keep trying still the same

Try reinstalling the drivers and/or use a different usb cable or different jack.

Believe me I have done all that different cable and PC reset my phone reset my PC .just because I have rooted my phone I can't send it for replacement and I can't unroot it without connect to PC and that is the problem .I'm here because this is my last hope .

If you have an unlocked bootloader use this tool to lock it: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.segv11.bootunlocker
To unroot use the permanent unroot feature in SuperSU.
Order is important since the Bootloader tool requires root.

thanks. i installed the android sdk and java jdk but still have the problem. i believe the problem is with the phone 100%
my nexus always shows that it's charging on AC whenever plugged in. doesn't matter if it even is to AC or USB. the phone shows up as unrecognized device with a bang in the USB section of the device manager. on some computers it doesn't even show up.
i tried on my macbook pro and it doesn't even show up there but in every case, the phone charges.
wondering if there's a switch or toggle somewhere that will turn it on and get it working
i'm going to install a windows xp VM as a last ditch resort and see if it at least shows up there.

Make sure your device is on MTP and try an other data cable which has no missing/broken data wires inside.

yep it tried on mtp and ptp with 4 different cables. two original nexus 4 cables, one nexus 7 cable and a blackberry cable. they all work with my other nexus 4... just not this one.

That is strange, it should work with the Windows Virtual Machine.
Maybe it is to do with the standalone machine using it in the same time.

Hi guys,
Seems that I've got the same trouble. Got my N4 (stock ROM, 4.2.2) a couple of weeks ago and everything was ok - connection as MTP, connection for debug and so on. But yesterday I connected it to my PC and found that the device indicates charging but not USB connexion. So I've tried to reboot PC and N4, tried other cables and 2 other PCs (my with Win8, and those with Win7 and Linux Mint if matters). Other devices are ok (Huawei Honor, N7, Milestone2).
The phone just doesn't detect USB connection - in both MTP and PTP. Then I tried to plug in wall charger and connect back again to USB. AND IT WORKED! The phone detected the connection so I was able to mount it and detect with adb. I thought that the problem was solved but when I connected it next time - same ****. This time nothing helps (most likely that there wasn't any casual relationship between wall charger connection and temporary fix...)
What options I've got now? Try to root the device and look into syslog to detect if it's a software issue or disassemble the device and try to find any defects on USB port?
Thank you,
Alex

I got mine to work by using a 2 into 1 usb plug. The kind that comes with portable CD writers. Once I got it working I reflashed stock 422 and the problem is gone. Turns out it was a bad flash from the previous owner.

Thanks for advice. During this day it worked properly twice - the phone just started detecting connection. No obvious reasons for that... I got a new device with stock 422 from amazon and haven't flashed or event rooted it. How do you think, should I try to flash it with official 4.2.2? Now I can say that it's most likely a software issue.

Tried it out - the result is the same. Now I can not even unlock the bootloader to reflash 422... Btw I didn't managed to find a 2into1 cable but checked if the same trick would work with USB hub with external power - it works really better. The device can detect the connection almost all the times and I can see it listed in adb devices and as a mounted storage. Though in fastboot mode this doesn't help. Device remains unrecognized.

well if you're getting a connection to the computer but not in fastboot, your drivers might just need removal/reinstallation.
once you get it going, reflash the stock 4.2.2 from google and see how it goes.
if that doesn't work and you can get it going, get it replaced by Google.
if you can, try it on a mac.. they don't need the drivers installed. just run it all from terminal.

Okay, I've managed to track down the issue...
Once I got it available for fastboot I've unlocked bootloader and then flashed with Cyanogen. The problem remained but I could get dmesg output for plug-in event. I've managed to get logs for problematic case (doesn't detect USB data connexion) and for correct behavior case (when Android detects USB data connection).
No sense to put the whole log pieces here just a brief quotes.
For correct case:
Code:
Avail curr from USB = 500
For incorrect case:
Code:
Avail curr from USB = 1500
USB module firmware tells the system that it has detected data-connection and enabled low-power mode (500mA). In this case Android initiates mtp and adb:
Code:
<6>[62539.001178] adb_open
<6>[62539.001269] mtp_bind_config
<6>[62539.001422] adb_bind_config
And in problematic case USB module firmware incorrectly indicates for the OS that there are only power-connection (5V/ground). I cant say exactly where the issue is but there are only two options - bug in USB module firmware or physical fault of connection (pins, bus or whatever else). Anyway I've to replace USB module or just go with it and use adb over network (the matter is that sending the device back to Amazon seller from my country would cost me 1/3 of the purchase total so I consider that just unreasonable).
Thanks to LG - for my money I got not only a box with device but also whole lotta fun =)

Weird USB data cable issue

I've tried with both a USB 3.0 cable, the original data cable and a OEM cable.
This happened with both 4.3 and 4.4 so it's most likely to do with the driver:
when I access my phone, and try to create a folder, rename or delete a folder, it just freezes (the window, not the phone or PC operating system). this is solved only by disconnecting the data cable from the phone.
If I tried to create a folder, a new folder (with the name "new folder") will appear but nothing else.
It happens both on the phone memory and on the SD card.
Can anyone help? Is there another driver version I need to install? the version I currently use is: 1.5.27.0
thanks!

Hi, I have experienced this as well and it is caused by a slow machine(PC/Laptop). When I connect my phone to my "slower" machine the freezing happens. However if I connect it it to my high-end machine, no freezes whatsoever. Not limited to just the note but also both my tab and lumia.

Rubbish.
Unless you're telling me a 3.4Ghz i7 with 16GB RAM & USB3.0 isn't powerful enough to handle this?
I have a very similar issue since 4.4.2, too. Renaming anything will crash the MTP. Since creating a new folder starts in 'change name' mode, it can't confirm without crashing. (Deleting works fine, though.)
All my Non-4.4.2 devices don't have the issue, and my NotePro with a different USB3 protocol doesn't, either. I've tried 12 Note 3's on 15 PC's ranging from a crappy one to something that would make every gamer jealous, same result.
And yes, I've reflashed, reset, redone it all.

My pc isn't the issue. Quad core with 8gb ram, and it works fine with my tablet. Thanks for trying to help. Any other ideas?

Have you tried usb 2 cable? I have absolutely never had any issues making/renaming/deleting/moving folders and files using my home or work computer with Note 3 (4.3 and 4.4), but I use usb 2 cable, since my OEM cable is broken.
My computer shows Samsung driver 2.9.319.511 dated 5/11/12 and Samsung USB driver for phones 1.46 dated 1/4/13 on Win 7 64 bit. I use this functions often, since I lost some pictures due to sd card failure, now camera saves all video/pics to phone memory and then I back them up to computer and then transfer them to SD manually. BTW are you switching your phone to USB 3? Because I think there is a timeout for USB 3, after 10 min or so USB 3 connection reverts to USB 2 or something like that, so maybe you timing out and switch over hangs? Just a very wild guess.

I 've 1.5.33 dricers, you should uninstall and install again yours or install new ones

I'd buy that if it was one computer. Not on 15 different ones, though.

i have the same problem with usb 3.0 since the day i bought this phone 8 months ago. it rarely gts detected by pc . at last a month ago i lost all hope and jst tried to forget that my phone has usb 3.0 and now i use usb 2.0 cables

I installed the latest driver (1.5.45) and most issues are gone. Creating a folder is very very slow though. It can take several minutes. And there's no difference if I use a USB 3.0 data cable or a USB 2.0 data cable. I don't even have usb 3.0 support in my PC anyways.

Oh well I guess I was wrong but in my case, that is the solution. I was on NF4 and NH1 and having the same results. My tab stock is even on 4.1.2.
