You don't have any mods installed that forces your device to deep sleep?
Normally this screen only pops up when you're trying to make more then one file operations at the same time(device independent).
I can transfer files from Windows to phone and vice versa. I can't transfer files inside phone folder.
Someone can help? Very annoying problem..

The best solution is to transfer to PC then back to phone...

Which folder, in /system or on the sd card? If it's the one in /system, you can push it from my Rom after extracting it from the zip file.
I'm not sure, I believe its the sd card when I plug in the usb cable and I go in to my computer to see it thats where the folder is missing from what do you think and thanks for replying

You should literally be able to just create a new folder there with the same name. I believe it's empty, until you put something there.

I use LMDE and i really have no trouble using adb to transfer files, but the files that i push from my PC to the device aren't detected immediately, so, if i put some music in the device i have to wait like 10 minutes at least for the files to being accessibles.
So, my question is if there's some way to 'scan & list' all the files after i make the file transfer?
Thanks!
PS: This is happening with my Galaxy Nexus also, so i believe this is an adb problem.

as for scanning maybe u can try to use filemanagers to make the device search for the music files faster

Thanks for the reply, but i already tried this, and i can see the files with a file manager, but i don't know why the Music Players (Play Music and JetAudio) aren't showing the files immediately.
I keep on having problems with transferring files to my nexus 4. Windows explorer keeps crashing for some reason. Has anyone else encountered this?

Im having the same issue, i can see the device in windows 7 explorer, and right click import videos/pictues.. i can browse to folders as well but if i copy/paste to/from the nexus windows explorer crashes.. any ideas?
same here.
i found this:
This is because the Nexus 7 uses MTP and not USB Mass Storage device. How I loathe MTP.
The solution is a simple one.
Remove the extension, such as AVI or MKV
Copy the file (it will work no problem).
Once copied put the extension back on.

zipping the files, and then using a file browser from android to unzip it seems to work too.
this article gives a small insight to the MTP.

What I usually do is make a backup of my phone and then I copy it over to my windows 7 PC for safe keeping. This has been working perfectly fine the last month and then suddenly a few days ago it has been unable to copy the entire backup. I've tried different cables, different computers, different files, so I think the problem is with my phone and the file formats that are used in backups. When I try copying the file the "boot.emmc.win" and "recovery.log" copy just fine but the problem is with the other files. The "data.ext4.win000" and "data.ext4.win001" and "system.ext4.win" files are all unable to copy. I right-click and copy them, then when I try and paste them on my desktop nothing happens. There's no loading symbol or anything. If anybody has any ideas what might be wrong, I have no idea and this problem just recently started happening. Thanks.

out of curiousity, have you tried copying the whole folder over instead of the individual files?
Your using twrp if its .win files right? Maybe try another version of twrp or a different recovery. Otherwise I believe there is an option to turn your backups into .tar or maybe even yaffs2

Have you tried copy-pasting other files such as MP3 files, from your phone to the PC? It might be a little hard but you can try using adb pull command.
Edit: or you can use Airdroid if you're connected to the same WiFi as your PC.

Yes other files copy just fine. Nothing unusual just the normal loading-like screen shows up, fills the bar with green and then goes away and the file appears on my desktop.

yes I have and what happens is the little loading screen pops up that shows you how far along the copying process is just stops after copying the first file in the folder. It gets a little green and then just disappears without no error messages or anything.
hey XDA,
I am not able to copy Flac audio files from my PC to the Internal Storage of my galaxy s4. When I paste the Flac files into the phone, it prompts for file format not supported, then I click 'No, just Copy' and for all files. But then it only copies the first file (If I selected multiple files) and then freezes. When I cancel the process, the first file is copied successfully.
How can i fix this?

sorry,nerver have this problem before..guess you need to wait for file to completely copy to your phone if it hang just wait until it complete
I have found out the solution today. I had the same problem on two phones, two systems, two laptops. People usually use same set of applications etc
I always used K-lite codecs to play videos on the PC. This causes the problem with copying the Flac files to the phone somehow. Uninstalling it makes it back ok.
