My galaxy nexus came today and as soon as I got it I copied several items to the sd card including my ringtones and a custom rom.
I haven't flashed anything yet, but now I can no longer copy anything to the internal storage. When trying to copy anything with windows explorer, I get an error message:
"the device has either stopped responding or been disconnected"
I have tried multiple PCs and USB cables with no luck. I was, however, able to copy music to the device using Winamp.
any ideas? I'm pretty stumped and this is very frustrating.
There should be a thread on this issue.
Did you get an answer for this problem? I seem to have the same issue.
I'm having the exact same issue. I've copied before, can't now, though the folders are viewable. Thing is, I can copy to it just fine from my work PC.
Bump, getting the same message.

For some reason, MPT suck for me becasue it wont always transfer files between phone and PC.
For example, i select all images i want on my PC and copy them just to see that they aren't all copied. Same goes for APK.
Windows Explorer also can't see some of the thumbnails on camera folder and reports them corrupt but they look and open just fine on phone.
Anyone else has these issues and possible solution?
I don't accept managing media files via adb comments or anything similar.
THanks
does MTP transfer any files at all? or will it only transfer some?
MTP can be finicky sometimes....issues i've had before preventing me from transferring properly include a slightly dirty microUSB port on the phone, where wiggling the connection loses the MTP connection while transferring; drivers not installed correctly; sometimes just rebooting both phone and PC does the trick.
If it fails while transferring a large batch of files, try moving them in small groups, like 20 at a time and see if they all make it then.
PC or MAC? (or linux?)
yeah, it transfers the files but not all of them from one directory for some reason. Sometimes ot didn't trasnfered batches of 2-3 files at the same time which is insane.
Then about an hour ago i reead on some forum that guy recommends backing up files with ADB and deleting problematic directory and than copying files back to it.
I just did that and it works as it supposed to.
Transfers all filess to/from device.
What a strange issue.

I can confirm this issue. I have it from time to time as well and it seems rebooting my phone does the trick. Sometimes, I just cannot send my titaniumbackup folder from my pc to the phone, where I would get an error saying it cannot be sent or it hasn't been sent.
I'd like to know what's causing this. Is mtp not reliable?

MTP on the Galaxy Nexus/ICS is controlled by the MediaStore, and this can cause trouble.
General fix for this should be similar to what I outlined here.
Thanks for the tip man, i formatted my internal storage and recreated all folders again and it works as intended now.
I did this before you posted this solution.
I'll try it if i ever get this issue again (hopefully not)
I recently got my phone swapped out VIA warrenty.
I was running AOKP on my old phone and copied via ADB all of my files from the internal storage to a folder on my PC.
When I got my new phone I ADB Pushed all the files back on the phone (after unlocking the bootloader) and installed the rom back up.
Unfortunately, my gallery is not picking up any pictures except for the ones I take with the phone, even though I see on my PC and Astro on the phone that the old pictures are there.
In addition, none of my custom notifications or ringtones or alarms are showing up in Android even though they are in the same place they were before, with the same rom.
I've tried many of the 'sdrescan' apps and nothing has worked.
I tried erasing the internal memory, and instead of transferiing the files VIA ADB I tried doing it VIA Windows Explorer (which took forever)
Nothing has worked
Please Help

Solved....
After DAYS of trying, and many hard resets, I found a .nomedia file hidden on the root of the sdcard.......don't know how the hell I didn't notice it before. Still wondering how it got there...

Click to collapse
Same thing is happening to me. The phone still will not recognize my internal storage ringtones and notifications though, even after removing the .nomedia file.
i have, on sprint, the galaxy s3, NOT the i900 or whatever that means. mine says model number SPH-L710
i have it rooted with the phantom rom installed, with superuser permissions. however, not sure what happened
but for some reason, i can no longer transfer files, any files, from my pc to the phone. this includes pictures,
music, documents--anything. the files are my personal files and music i ripped, and never had a problem
copying before, and all this just started. unless im hooking it up wrong, which i doubt--using the usb cable from
pc port to the phone directly. it does show the charge icon, and in the usb settings, usb debugging is checked
and also checked on media device (mtp). another option which isn't checked is camera (ptp), unchecked.
what happens when i try is, on the pc i get a box that pops up and says--do you
want to copy (file name), your device might not be able to play or view the file. i do have 2 options, to skip or copy
anyway. well when i click copy, it goes through the motions, but its not on the phone. no matter what file i try, a
pic, small wav file, etc....just will not copy and no
where one the phone is the file. another issue that seems to be going on is, the best way i can
explain it is--when the phone is hooked up to the pc, is it possible for whatever it is thats running to make the
phone able to receive copied files, go to sleep? because another error message i get when trying to copy is
it sits there for awhile, then eventually says "device not responding, disconnected" and on the phone itself its
on the main home screen like i wasn't doing nothing.
ive rebooted the phone several times, same results--nothing wil copy to the phone....
sooo, what am i missing?
update--- since that post, something else now happened. the phone flashed on, saying "sd card not mounted"
when it is. it is in the right way and all that, but when i go into settings/storage...at the very bottom it says
sd card, insert sd card
lol...so what the heck is that all about? the card is definatelly in there, and astro file manager shows some
files on the card but........
Well, it could be a couple of things.
First of all, make sure you have the Samsung USB drivers installed. It could be a corrupt driver, but probably not. It won't hurt to reinstall it, anyway, just to be sure. Here's link:
http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/c...nt_L710_GSIII_Samsung_USB_Driver_v1_4_6_0.exe
Make sure your phone is not locked when you're trying to transfer files. If you have a PIN or a PATTERN lock enabled and it locks, it will disable the MTP application from trasferring files.
Try reflashing the ROM as well. Maybe the MPT application got corrupted somehow?
As a last resort, you can restore your phone to stock unrooted status and see if that resolves the issue.
I had the same thing happen to me. I fixed the problem by going into device manager and clicking on to mtp and updating it..

I had the same thing happen to my SdCard and now it is kinda dead... before yours gets damaged, remove it and insert in a PC with a sdcard reader. Run command prompt (Start>Run>cmd and enter) and do a scan disk or check disk by entering "chkdsk /x /f driverletter:" use the drive letter assigned to the sdcard then enter, let it do it's thing.
This will fix the file system and you shouldn't more problems with the sdcard not being read. As for the MTP, do as the other member said and try updating the MTP device in in device manager or uninstall the drivers and install directly from Samsung.
After a couple of hours trying to find someone with the same problems as me I came up with nothing, so I decided to make a thread.
Firstly, I am no where near versed in device hacking so I am hoping these problems are just due to my ignorance.
My coworker rooted and loaded cm10 and teamwinrecovery onto my sprint GS3 and since then I have had a few issues. The most frustrating problem I am currently experiencing is the phone will not write anything to the external sd. There is no indication as to why this is the case. Under the storage option in settings it shows that it can read the external SD card yet programs seem to not be able to see that it is there. For example my camera will not give me the option to save photos to the external SD and programs like app 2 sd wont give me the option to transfer any of the apps to the SD card even ones that i know are supposed to work like Winamp. Also ive tried using DirectoryBind to change the directory of apps and music but I'm just prompted to create a new file because the data directory doesn't exist and asks if i want to create one. I tap yes and i am just prompted with the same error again and again.
My second main issue is when I dock my phone to my windows 7 PC I get an enigmatic problem. Either i get an error that says the USB malfunctioned and cannot be recognized and the SGS3 won't show up in mycomputer. Or, the default drivers install fine and the device will show up in windows. However, if i try syncing winamp or even dragging files over to my phone it will copy for anywhere from 1 second to 5 minutes and then windows will freeze and if i close the process it will crash windows and/or winamp. I tried installing the samsung usb drivers but then i just get a device ID error and it wont show up.
I was able to find some people with similar issues but not the constantly changing one i have. All the fixes that have been suggested have not worked.
I realize this is more likely an issue with my computer than my phone but when i was running stock it would work fine.
If anyone can provide some insight into these problems or can direct me to someone with a similar issue it would be much appreciated.
I really like CM10 but these issues are deal breakers for me and I dont really want to go through risking bricking my phone in order to try and get back to stock but i will if it will fix these problems.
I noticed yesterday that using the inbuilt file explorer as well as amaze file explorer that i couldnt cut and paste anything between folders. SO i thought id plug it into the laptop and move files that way but although i can move files from phone to pc and back again i cant move them within the phones system.
When attempting to do so the laptop comes up with "pixel xl is busy"
Ive tried different cables, turning usb debugging on and off, different usb connection options and have even reset the phone to factory but nothing works.
Anyone else had this issue? Ive never had a phone before do this, normally its a simple process to move files around.
Make sure you are using a USB C to USB A cable, have the cable plugged into the back of the computer, restart the PC before trying as well. Also make sure to select the option to transfer files after you connect the phone, otherwise it's only charging it. Have you tried a different computer? Good luck. On a side note, do you have root, if so I highly recommend "Root Explorer" it's been my go to file manager for many years.

This happens to me when I try to move files from within the same parent folder. Not sure if it's the same exact thing you are seeing, but I get the same message.
When you get the 'busy' warning, try saving the files to a diff parent folder and see if that stops the 'busy ' warning.
I was using the right cables, I said in the op that I had even tried different ones. It was something to do with the phone, the issue with the computer not working was a side effect of that. Even using the phones file manager it wouldn't give the option to be able to move files around, nothing to do with a computer. I did say that in the op.
However it just started working again earlier and now I have the option to move files between folders on the phone again. No idea what stopped it before. Was almost like it really was busy doing something and then stopped.
