New development. I can open the DCIM Camera folder in Windows 10 file manager and see the pictures but as soon as I try and start copying them I lose the connection. I can still see them on the PC but when I click on one to view I get image not found. Same whether in file transfer or picture mode. If I start all over I can again see and view each one but the connection gets lost when I try to copy them. Never had this issue before. Thoughts?
Update: It was the cable. While it worked well for most functions file transfer was not one of them. Plugged in the OEM cable and worked just fine. Time for new cables.
Further update: I appears file transfers fail over long cables. The shorter stock one worked fine. Transfers fail on 6' or more cables. Bought brand new one and tried to transfer to transfer 5 photos. Failed after 2.

SO, just picked up the Dell Venue Pro 8 - thing is really awesome and fast. My only gripe with it is why you cannot just plug the thing into a PC via the micro usb, and file transfer. This is the stupidest thing. I know I can use home network, and how to share files that way. But in my office that is not an option. Rather than ejecting the Micro sd card, plugging it into a USB, copy-paste onto sd, reinsert sd back into tablet, I would like to try to do a Bluetooth file transfer.
I have configured the devices, and they are connected. I have configured the Bluetooth share setting, and Bluetooth Exchange Folder location on my PC. I have added a file to transfer, now I go to my tablet, and literally have no idea where to go. I go to network, no files, Bluetooth settings, I see nothing, file explorer, shared files, etc. I don't see it. I google searched this, and couldn't seem to find the answer either. Can someone please help.
Thanks,

Bluetooth file sharing works much the same as an android phone, ie you actually have to select a file on one device and then select to send it over to the other device. You do not get a shared folder.
As for it being stupid that you cant plug your tablet into another PC. I think its entirely logical. Your tablet isnt really a tablet at all, its a full windows machine in a tablet body. Can you plug your laptop into your PC and transfer files? Perhaps think about what you are saying before calling something stupid. However, it is actually possible, just not via normal means.
Your tablet does support USB host with an adaptor such as this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Micro-USB-Host-Cable-OTG/dp/B006P9G9YG
You could just leave it at that and use a normal USB memory stick to transfer files. Or go further: http://www.maplin.co.uk/usb-data-transfer-cable-221132
I havent tried one of these cables before, but they do allow direct machine>machine file transfer in one way or another.
Here is how to send a file over bluetooth in windows (top reply): http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...-windows/57da28a1-f0e5-410d-b774-40f76df5aacb
Also, you *can* use BT to create a network connection (like WiFi but very short range), but I really don't suggest doing that. If for some reason you absolutely can't get your tablet and your workstation onto the same network and yet need to transfer files between them, a flashdrive or similar is the best option.
hey guys.
i just tried copying an avi file from my pc to the phone. i had already selected Media device (USB 3.0) in the pull down menu.
first it disconnected as it had initially first connected via Media device (MTP) and then reconnected and brought the auto play dialogue up. after a few seconds it disconnected itslef again and then reconnected. it seems to randomly want to disconnect and reconnect when it wants to.
even while it was apparently still reconnected, i tried to copy a file over to it and it first said i might not be able to play the file did i want to copy it anyway, i clicked yes, then it says the device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected even though it still appears to be connected.
if i switch back to MTP it still warns about maybe not playing the file but then after clicking to still copy across, it copies fine.
i am running windows 7. i have used this usb 3.0 port fine with a usb thumb stick i have. also, windows says it has installed the device successfully when i click over to usb 3.0.
so.... any ideas why it randomly wants to dis/re connect? and why will it not copy across even when it appears connected?
thanks guys.

Make sure you have the latest Samsung USB drivers on your PC. If you think you do, I would go to the device manager and uninstall your phone from the device list and then let it reinstall the drivers. Downloading Kies 3 also installs the drivers on your PC.

thanks mate but i have already tried them.
it does charge fine so i'm not sure whether it is a power issue but the issue of it disconnecting must have something to do with not transferring anything over even though it still appears connected when i am trying.
i read somewhere that due to it's quicker data transfer, the pc and device need to send much quicker signals to each other to let them know that they're still attached. by using an extension lead inbetween the device and usb 3.0 socket i was delaying that signal sufficiently to make the pc keep thinking the phone wasn't attached anymore. i removed the extension lead and sure enough it copied across fine.
the odd thing is that both a usb thumb drive and my 2tb backup external HDD work fine over the extension. maybe the note 3 is slower at sending that signal to start with? dont know but it now works.
File transfers between my LG V20 and laptop have had no issues so far. Usually, when I plug in my USB cable the USB notification automatically pops ups, but now I have to make it manually appear by going into developer options and selecting photo transfer or file transfer under "Select USB Configuration." However, only the photo transfer option gives me access to my phone's photos. Selecting file transfer doesn't lead to the device being recognized by my PC.
The only major thing I've done to this phone was install a glass screen protector. I don't know if applying force to the screen with my credit card to remove the bubbles may have damaged the port.
Anyone have any idea what might be the issue or potential solutions?
Hi Guys
I have two identical phones S5's one is a spare so does not have a sim card. The one I use I can plug it into a usb on my computer the computer beeps and it shows up in windows explorer. The second I plug into my computer it peeps the same sound but does not show up in explorer. If I have Device manager open and expand the USB folder it refreshes but no new devices not like the first phone where is refreshes and I see a new entry. Both phones have usb debugging on.
Any ideas
P.S. If I pull down the menu from the top and click on the options for USB then pick Transferring Images (transfer images and other files via a PTPconnectionif MTP is not avaliable) then I can see the phone in Explorer but Odin does not see the phone. If I pick Transferring media files (Transfer media files to a computer via an MTP connection) then the phone dissapears from Explorer.
Whats going on The phone that works of in USB options i pick Transfering media files and all is well whats going on with this second phone
Thanks
Rick
The phone Im having trouble with has updated to 6.0.1 Where the phone that is working is still at 5.1.1
Okay guys, I'm having this weird thing from some time, doesn't remember if it was from day 1.
When I connect my device to the pc, it doesn't show the last file created in device or like the newest file in device storage like picture, video or any other file of different extension.
I tried different ports usb 3.0/2.0, tried different pc or laptops, even changed the wire to third party or one plus usb wire.
If any of you guys experienced it and if solved it kindly share me, it is so frustrating when you are in hurry and the last picture I captured or apk downloaded doesn't show in storage.
