Hi
I have a big issue whereby when I connect my desire to my laptop as a disk drive I am unable to copy any files across.
My computer recognises the phone and opens up windows explorer (albeit very slowly) but when I try to navigate around the folders it just hangs until i get a notification telling me that windows explorer is not responding.
I have tried 3 different cards, all with the same results. In addition I have had my phone replaced and both the old phone and the replacement are the same. Have also tried 2 different cables.
Cards have no problem connecting in a card reader.
I am using windows 7 64 bit. I am also unable to connect to HTC sync.
I am convinced that this is a windows 7 issue. I am aware that others on the same OS have no issues but I can't see what else the problem could be.
Anyone else had this issue and found a fix?
This is now driving me insane so any help would be most appreciated.

have you checked you have the latest drivers installed on your computer for your phone?
also make sure your usb cable is connected to the main usb ports on your computer not any hubs or anything
First of all you have to install the "windows mobile device center"
When you connect the HTC to your computer, there pops a window up, where you can choose, between sync and fast data travel. have you tried this out?
if the window is not there go to settings-->connections-->USB to Pc and change it there. (not in the touch flo settings. there you have to go to MORE and there are this settings)
maybe this helps
Cheers, stephan1
sorry cgrec92 ... I was writing this while you posted your answer
Thanks for the response guys.
Have tried connecting via all 4 of the usb ports so this doesn't seem to be the issue. Have also uninstalled the drivers and then plugged the device back in to reinstall drivers but with no luck. Have also downloaded the adb driver from the net but with no joy.
Is mobile device centre not exclusively for windows phones?!
Keep the ideas coming!

Erhhh.... are you aware that this is the Desire forum, which is an Android device and not Windows Mobile?
To the OP: seems to me that you've tried everything connected to the phone/cables, but haven't tried connecting to a different PC. I've no problems with Windows 7 x64, but I would suggest that you plugging your device into a different PC.

Dave
I've got exactly the same problem, it's rather annoying now.
It used to work fine up until now
Just want to point out a flaw, but also ask for help. I have just moved into a new house which has no internet. I have a good data plan on my desire and great reception, so I thought I would try using the internet share option when using usb connected to a Windows 7 pc. Windows says it can't find a adp driver.... how stupid. Does that mean the computer needs to be online to download the driver before you can share the internet?
I don't have heaps of downloads on my phone plan so can't download the android sdk as o have read elsewhere as it has the driver.
Any help?
Maybe you should change your alias to OfflinePredator ;-)
Sorry. Couldn't resist...

Well, HTC Sync is usually supplied on the SD card that comes with the phone!

why don't you try pdanet...i think it has the driver but the htc sync is your best bet.
Lol @ offlinepredator call. Good one ;-)
HTC sync from SD card worked. Thanks guys. Pdanet did not have the driver, I tried that before.
Hey all. Phone freakin rocks, and the OTA update to allow us to use WHAT SHOULD'VE BEEN THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE is great.
However, I'm having issues with getting the native USB tether to work.
I connected my phone to my Windows 7 Pro 32-bit netbook with USB debugging enabled. It said it needed drivers, so I had it install the necessary drivers. It was having problems with the ADB USB drivers so I found the solution on this forum and installed the fixed driver.
I go to the Settings menu in the phone, go to Tethering and enable USB tether. After a small delay, Windows 7 tells me there was some a problem installing the device driver, no driver found. Device Manager shows "Android Phone" under Other, and no matter what I point to the USB driver won't work.
I disconnect the phone, turn off USB debugging, and reconnect. Same problem.
I disconnect again, turn USB debugging back on, reconnect, and told it to turn on Mass Storage. Still no dice.
I'm puzzled here, as numerous reports state that It Just Works. Wonder why I'm having issues.
I haven't permrooted just yet - still using Visionary. Let me know if this is an issue.

USB Tethering
Here, I had this posted under USB Tethering. You just need an INF file.
You got the OTA update that enables wifi calling and usb/wireless tethering, right?
On your G2 Go to Settings, Wireless & networks, Tethering & portable hotspots, Help.
Under this help guide, go to the website link for USB listed there.
Go to this website and choose "USB Tethering with Windows XP"
Download the INF file "tetherxp.inf"
On your G2 check the "USB tethering" option, and connect your G2 via USB cable to your computer. Instead of using windows to automatically seach for drivers, direct the wizard to the "tetherxp.inf" file.
This will also work for Windows 7 if your having problems tethering there.

Yeah, I saw that help link. I didn't think I needed it since I was on a Windows 7 machine. I'll go take a crack at it since at worst I'll just be back at square one.
Thanks for letting me know!
I used the driver for the HTC Hero for windows vista just google it. I have the vista drivers installed on windows 7 pro and it works great, its even faster then PDAnet which I used since my 1.6 phone days.

Hey guys, I can't tether my G2 / Vision to my Windows 7 64-bit machine either. Same issue as you all are having. The tetherxp.inf seems like it might work, but possibly only on 32-bit machines.
Is there a driver that will work on Windows 7 64-bit?

I got this working once using drivers downloaded from this forum. They worked.... S l o w l y. Maybe my laptop's usb sucks, but in any event it was enough to drive.me crazy.
I got MUCH better performance using wifi tethering. I just use the usb cable to keep the wifi & 3g radios from sucking the battery dry.

Im on a Windows 7 64bit machine and Tether(wireless and USB), ADB and Fastboot all work perfectly, I had to install HTC sync to my home computer to get the right drivers. The HTC sync program doesnt work with the Tmobile G2only with the Desire Z because it is Sense based, but it will install the right drivers for the G2, just install it from the following link and then hook up your G2 or Desire Z to your computer and it will install the right drivers for you:
http://www.htc.com/www/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=1058&news_id=804
Just a side note make sure you are using the micro USB cable that shipped with the phone, some people were having problems using other micro USb cables.
WOW
You guys still haven't figured this out? I've been USB tethering on my XP/Vista/and 7 box since the day i got the new OTA. You need the proper drivers and also have to configure windows to use RNDIS.
It is truly that simple. I've walked many people through this already and have now started charging!
BTW
All of the methods described by the majority of the members on this site are just way too many steps. You don't have to do anything other than install 2 proper drivers. You don't need PDANet nor do you need HTC sync. You just need to be tech savvy enough, not fone savvy.
Stop trolling!

Seriously, I've seen u post the same thing in forum after forum without actually helping anyone... do that business or get the pot. Why on earth would you rather have people email u privately for your "wisdom" instead if just posing it?
Stop trolling.
here is the link to the driver for win7 and vista:
handheld.softpedia.com/progDownload/HTC-Hero-Drivers-Download-81097.html
here is where I found it at:
ozamora.com/2010/11/usb-tethering-htc-g2/ (the forum bot doesn't let me post a link with http:...etc. so you have to copy and paste the address yourself)
you can also search google for HTC_Driver_64.zip or HTC_Driver_32.zip
if the option to install doesn't come up automatically when you connect your G2 to your PC via USB do one of the following: hold down the windows key and hit the Pause/Break key OR click the start button (left lower corner of your screen), then find the word 'Computer' on the right of the start menu. Right click on it and click properties on the sub-menu that pups up. If you did it right you should be at "Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\System". In the left upper corner click on Device Manager. Find the device with the yellow triangle, it should say something like unknown Android device. Double click it and then click update driver. On the GIU that comes up do not select automatic, select browse my computer for driver software. Click browse and navigate to the folder where you saved and unzipped the HTC driver like "C:\Users\username.computername\Downloads\G2_HTC\HTC Driver". Be sure to check the option include subfolders. Click next, follow propts and you are done. You want to be smart about this for future use copy the uzipped driver folder to the SD card of your phone.

You may very well be retarded. You clowns sound like the guys from the HTC forum pertaining to this. Learn how to read. I've helped more people than I could even count with this particular problem, and what's a scamer? You really shouldn't be playing with your cell phone. Actually no, keep it up. HAHA.
"Wisdom", I'm not about to walk a million noob's (no offense, i am one too) through something so easy that they have made difficult for themselves. I'm not on the level of many of the guys on this site to be walking anyone through anything on a forum, though if I had to do it, I'd prefer an audience who would understand my direction. Both of you palsy stricken idiots definitely do not fall into that category, which is probably why you didn't receive my help previously. You can't post a definitive solution to a problem that could arise from a number of different scenarios, and even if you could, I never claimed to be up for it.
Hope you've both learned how to use Windows and your phones.
Guys.... The purpose of this thread is to help people, not alienate them.
Anyway, HTC sync may not be the *best* way to get the drivers on the phone, but it's certainly one of the easiest to explain. All that matters is getting the ndis drivers somewhere windoze will find them.
I said before in this thread that I got better performance using wifi tethering, but that's probably because the usb on my laptop has an attitude problem (adb issues even on a fresh windows install). Best part of that option is that the driver issue is avoided.

Dude, go to your device manager.
Find the Device with the little ? and then maybe a yellow !.
Right click that device and select Update Driver.
When the window pops up (on Windows 7 32bit), select, Browse My Computer for driver software, then on the next screen, click on the bottom that says, LET ME PICK.
Then it will ask you the device type.
Here you go down to Network Adapters.
Then when it asks you to select manufacturer, skip Microsoft and select Microsoft Corporation.
Then, select Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device.
Hit next, it will say it's not safe, etc etc, proceed to install it.
You should be set. I hope that helps.

Hi guys,
I wonder if anyone can help with this problem?
,
I'm having trouble hooking it up to my PC which is running XP.
When I chose to connect as either "Media Device MTP" or "Camera PTP" I get an error message on the taskbar of my PC:
"USB device Not Recognised. One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned , and Windos does not recognise it. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message."
I click the message and get taken to the list of USB devices with one in bold stating "Unknown device", I click on it and try to update the drivers etc but PC is unable to instal newer drivers.
I think I've narrowed this down to an MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) driver not being installed on the PC, so have installed Windows media player 11, Kies, Samsung PC Studio 7, tried searching the net for drivers, even tried installing Galaxy S2 drivers and none of them work.
Does anyone know what else I may be able to try, or can someone tell me where I could get the correct driver as this is starting to drive me nuts...
PS. I have hooked up the Nexus to my work PC (running Vista) and was recognised withing seconds, so is not a faulty phone
Thanks in advaance for you help!!

Just get WiFi file explorer PRO and sync through wifi...but I'm quite sure that you can get MTP to work on winXP.
Can't really help you with the Galaxy Nexus since mine hasn't arrived yet but for my Galaxy Tab 10.1 I didn't install any driver (honeycomb also only understands MTP). I let windows install all the drives automatically, had to restart a couple of times but in the end I had a working connection with no Samsung crap like Kies installed.

I've got this as the work around at the moment, but finding it a bit laborious having to transfer one file at a time.
Finding that Samsung website is quite useless - only has the User guide as downloadable PDF.

You can transfer as many files as you like....up.
And to be honest you can also try using an FTP server, it works very well and then you can browse your phone easily.

Is that with XP?
I thought I was getting there after installing WMP 11 as I got a message stating "Galaxy" when I connected the USB cable, but it still didn't work fully.
A couple of re-boots later it resorted back to "USB Device not Recognised"
Hope the Nexus conmects for you when it arrives

Do you mean that you can upload multiple files in one go with Wireless file transfer Pro?

Sorry no, it was something worse, Vista.
If you got xp to recognize it as "Galaxy" you should be on the right track. I remember that being the first device in Vista too. The auto update feature installed various Samsung updates, always after the device couldn't be started and almost all of them required a restart. But about five of these updates (and restarts...) later it connected correctly. No Samsung software necessary.
Don't know if that was dumb luck but I'm not complaining.
I have missing MTP driver on my WIndows XP laptop for work (I use Win 7 at home) is there any solution to this yet?
Try this.
It will install the Media Transfer Protocol Porting Kit (MTP drivers) on Windows xp and should allow the device to be recognised.
I uploaded the file (which I downloaded directly from Microsoft) so you dont have to validate first. Download it *HERE* and install.
Let me know if it works for Windows xp and I will add it to my fixes section im writing.
Mark.
Thanks, Mark,
I did find and download that file earlier but it didnt work. However, as my work laptop is subject to Group Policy, it may still work for others. I do have local admin rights on my machine so I wouldnt have thought it would be a problem but we always get quirks with our corporate builds.
I have found other references on the net to a file from Creative called "fixup.zip" which apparently includes the MTP drivers (tweaked to also allow recognition of creative devices) but I cant find anywhere to download it from.
after a little searching with Google i found the answer
so my laptop runs XP (because i shoot tethered to my Canon Camera and i know it works) and i use the laptop to sync my phones (also collects my e-mail etc) and i stumbled on this thread when i was searching for a solution as to why MTP failed to install with my new Nexus..
the solution is
to install Windows Media Player 10! once i did that, BAM! i can see my Nexus in the explorer window with the rest of my drives

New "known issue" - samsung!
I had issues trying to get the device working on 3 computers yesterday (Win 7, Vista, XP) , with only interment luck.
I got to Samsung Level 2 support, at 2pm EST, I was his first G-Nex call. We tried the Samsung driver, updating WMP to v11 on XP. Best I got was it to open sometimes (best after a GNex Reboot or after almost shutting it down: ie. holding power button in ant hitting back arrow). It opens best on my Vista PC (one I hardly use...); Sometimes I open it and get no further than the device level (GALAXY NEXUS); if Internal Storage eventually shows up, you may be able to get in; then you MAY be able to transfer files to the folders.
I got a call back from SAMSUNG Level 2 today: "THERE IS A KNOW ISSUE IN THE MTP LAYER OF THE PHONE; THERE ARE ISOLATED CASES OF PROBLEMS LIKE YOURS; SAMSUNG & GOOGLE ARE WORKING TO RESOLVE AND ISSUE A MAINTENANCE RELEASE". (As close as I can quote this.) No, there was no estimate of WHEN this would be released, but I'm hoping soon, as it is a pain and major issue for us "isolated" cases - why me?
I found that MTP does not work correctly on winxp without Windows Media Player 11. It appears to work kinda with WMP10, but not the way you would expect.
Fix
I was pulling my hair out trying to get my new verizon galaxy nexus connected to my pc running windows xp to transfer files. Finally I figured out what the problem was for me.
MTP is tied to windows media player somehow and you need to have the new version of windows media player installed for it to work. Until I did this I was getting an error when a plugged in my phone about the required files not found in the INF file or something.
1. download new version of windows media player.
2. You need to download the samsung USB drivers from samsungs website...I would post the link but I am not allowed.
make sure you click the tab for software...it defaults to manuals and doesn;t look much like a tab at all. After that mine worked beautifully although the MTP transfers seem extremely slow compared to the USB mass storage connection my droid 2 had.
Hope this helps someone else out there!

The only way i connect my S3 to my Mac is via FTP apps (wirelessly) like Transmit, or i just use ES File Explorer to FTP files back and forth over my WiFi network, or use Kies.
Gave up on USB since it defaults to MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) which just doesn't work on Macs. Couldn't get it to do UMS (Universal Mass Storage). As for music, i prefer drag and drop (via FTP).

Syncing with sd_card or usb mode shouldn't be a problem on any device that accepts USB storage devices.
the only difference between using windows and OS X will be the ability to use MTP because microsoft is the only one that supports that particular file transfer protocol.
doubletwist sync, last i checked, didn't use mtp mode regardless of the OS of the box its connected to.
There's also airdroid from the play store that connects with phone via wifi.

Virtual Machine approach to rooting
If you have a mac, and a copy of windows, create a little virtual machine using Parallels Desktop. (Note: VMWare Fusion will not work.)
Once you have your virtual machine running, Install the S3 Snapdragon Toolkit and USB drivers, connect your phone using the USB cable. Make sure to associate the phone with the VM and not OS X when prompted.
On your phone, set the mode to PTP, not MTP. You'll hear the USB device connect sound and the phone will show up as camera device, but don't focus on that. Now, run the toolkit and you'll find at the main menu your phone listed as an attached device.
Many thanks to mskip for his toolkit development.

Parallels Desktop is a little pricey at $80, but it sounds super awesome. Thanks for this.
