Currently stock with the exception of unlocked/rooted. Win 7, 64 bit.
For whatever reason my phone just does not like to transfer pictures or videos from my desktop to the internal memory. I highlighted 30+ pics from a desktop folder and pasted into the pictures and dcim folder on separate occasions and it does about 9-10 of them then freezes. I cancel the window and the GNEX is frozen "loading." Most of the time i cant open it in Computer either. It does the same thing with a video to the root of the memory.
I've tried in smaller batches, 1 at a time, nothing makes a difference.
I was able to transfer 30+ songs to the music folder without a hitch though.
Ideas?
Try reinstalling the drivers?
Try different drivers. I'm using the ones that come with pdanet. I've uninstalled pdanet but the drivers stay loaded. Works great for me. Win 7 64 bit is fast.
My Linux distro running in a VM is slow. Actually I should say it's fast but has a lot of prep time. Will spend 90 seconds "preparing" and very few transferring. That is something I have to work on.

Trying now..
So it definitely was NOT a driver issue. Uninstalled and reinstalled every way possible and it did not make a difference. I ended up using adb and pushing all the stock files to the phone again and its working great now.

There really isn't enough info on this. It was driving me nuts so I spent a long time googling and eventually learned that this is a known issue with ICS's implementation of the MTP protocol.
It has been fixed in 4.0.3. So make that upgrade and this problem will go away forever.
or switch to airdroid.

adb pull no longer works on my pc, I used to pull things allll the time and now I can only push.
When I attempt to do a pull it only pulls the name with no contents; it says it can't open file as archive.
Anyone else having these problems, and know a solution?
What are ur pc specs? I have the same problem. Push all day long but as soon as i pull same thing happens as you and device goes offline. What about USB storage mode? Curious cause also when i try that my explorer frrezes. But it will work on a friends computer just not mine. I tried reinstalling samsung drivers but still same thing. All i can say is Dropbox is my best friend. About the only way i can get anything to my phone besides Email. Funny thing is bothadb pull and usb mode use to work fine.

Hey, guess what. ****ing samsung cable's is just a POS and my USB ports finally decided they didn't like it either. I grabbed another cable and my PC is fine. Adb pull works like a champ. USB mode doesn't freeze XP either. ****in' aye.
Just transferring say one music album takes like ten minutes. I have a good router, I put my phone one foot from it and it's still going at a snail's pace.
Tried using ES Files Explorer and X-plorer and the same result. Is it a problem with the phone do both those apps just have sh*tty wifi transfer speeds?

I kinda ruled that out because I can copy to from a Windows laptop WAY faster, like 4MB/s compared to less than 1MB/s or god knows what on this phone.

I have this issue too. I use SSHDroid on my phone, and connect via SSHFS from Linux. I get around 1mb/s average this way, when my computer is on Ethernet (slower if it is on wifi). I'm running CM 10.1 nightly on AT&T S3. I'll give it a try on Windows at some point, but so far I haven't found anything that helps. I tried reformatting the card with different cluster sizes too, with no noticeable change.
Airdroid is fast enough for me

I have my GS3 running the RC2 build of Cyanogenmod, ktoonz kernel, running Windows 7, yadda yadda. MTP has NEVER been reliable for me, it comes and goes, popping up errors and other stuff til I screw with drivers to get it working again. But now, Windows doesn't even recognize that the phone is plugged in. Like Device Manager doesn't show it. Any ideas?

Flash a normal custom rom and be done with all the issues, bugs and stuff which don't work..
Flash a Samsung Galaxy S3 T999 Jellybean 4.1.1 custom rom.
The AOKP/AOSP/CM Cyanogen and ported roms are only good if you are either a developer or just like to experiment.
Good Luck!
Different use port and/or reboot your computer and try again

Its not the ROM that is the issue. Sounds to me like either the cable went bad or the driver management of windows is corrupt. Are there any other PC's to test on?

I only got my laptop, but Windows actually deactivates when i plug my phone in for some stupid reason. Noodling
Wait, it recognises it then disconnects it? That is a windows issue my friend. Sounds like you have a corrupt driver registry. That being said Do Not go digging in the reg to fix.
Plug in your phone to the PC.
Let windows do its thing.
Find the mtp or sgs3 driver in dev mgmt.
(Right click on the "my computer" - select manage. Then device manager.)
In here you should see your device either with an exclamation, question, or nothing. Right click and uninstall. You will want to delete the driver too.
After it is finished d/l the drivers for mtp (I prefer googles drivers) once finished leave the sgs3 plugged in and reboot.
Once back into win the os will ask for drivers. Select let me find the driver - all - and have disk. Point to the d/l drivers and install. If this does not help you might need reg repair which is not an easy task. It is easier to reinstall windows the attempt a registry repair. Let me know how this works for you. I'll keep helping you... Two heads are better than one

I mean on my laptop, Windows 8 deactivates, like I have to re-type in a new product key to fix it. My tower doesn't recognize it at all, nothing in Device Manager, but it charges the phone. I've tried 2 cables so far, gonna borrow another one and try that.
Try that and let me know if it helps. My bet is still one the windows side. Might want to look into reloading your windows if all else fails. You having any issues with other USB devices on this PC? (Printer, thumb drive, external, etc.)

It's fussy, that's for sure. The particular driver you are using could make a difference. I don't use MTP much because it's more trouble than it's worth, but the drivers in my signature were working alright, the first link.
I just use FTP now (FTPDroidPro+FileZilla). Never any problems. The only time I would want MTP is for copying several GB of data. But since I back up often (and upload pictures to Dropbox), this situation rarely happens.

That's just it though, I'm attempting to pull about 10gb worth of data. I'll try your drivers, the 1.5 one. I will report back. those apps though, are they both for android or are they windows applications?

FTPDroidPro is the FTP server that sits on the phone. Do not remember if there is a free version, but probably, since, well.... Pro. FileZilla is the client and I think it's open source. Either way, it's free.
My router is terrible, and I can still transfer 4MB/s. With a nice router, I'm sure it's faster than USB 2.0. FTPDroidPro also has support for root access. That is incredibly useful.

The only thing I can think of is that this is either a 4.2.2 issue or related to Vanilla Rootbox exclusively. Just tried your driver and still the same issue. Guess I have no other choice is to try your app combo and see what happens. This is most frustrating, as my music and pictures are stuck on my old sgs3 and would rather not live without them
In case there isn't a free version of Aerowinders, this is what I use, and it does have a free counterpart if you just want to try it our way.

If you need any help setting up, let me know.
There's probably nothing wrong with your phone or the computer. I've had tons of issues, too. One more thing you could try would be to make sure those drivers are fully uninstalled (through device manager also), and install the old 1.4.6.0 ones. These old ones probably won't work with your LTE version, though. Just another thought. I personally think FTPing is the better solution. It's faster than digging out the cable, for me.

Never had an issue with MTP until today. Honestly I kinda grew to like it more than the old UMS method, as the phone was still usable. Just installed ftpdroid and filezilla now, trying to see if I can get this working, let alone access the internal storage.
Alright, so far, I will give this a 4 out of 5 stars. only 4 because I'm not quite familliar with the interface and it is pretty intimidating. I do however LOVE that I can simply resume the transfer process should my phone reboots, which it did, so I don't have to start all over. Pretty sexy.
If you have some kind of guide or easy way of explaining this, I'd love to see/hear it. appears it's about 2.5mb/s, which is the average speed of my data plan for my ISP, so Idk if it goes off the router or my upload/download speed limit.
@DocHoliday77, I will look into your method, but if you could explain it a bit to me that would be great. I know little to nothing about FTP.
Super simple. Make sure you're on wifi.
Open the app and start the server.
Open Explorer on your computer and in the address/path bar enter exactly what it says in the app.
Ftp://192.168.x.x:2121
Enter pw.
That's it.

You could also transfer the files to a MicroSD Card or USB Thumbdrive (via OTG) and then do the same on the new phone.

I believe its a usb cable you can use to connect storage devices to your phone.

OTG is USB On-The-Go, aka USB Host mode. You can plug in USB devices into your phone and use them directly. I was suggesting to plug a a thumbdrive into your OTG cable into your phone and copy the files to it using ES File Explorer or similar.
Ah ok I think I understand. Well I tried the ftp method yesterday and pretty sure I pulled everything I needed off of it. Slowly migrating to the new device. Don't need orphan data and such.
Using mtp on the new device seems to work well, though haven't tried to pull anything off it, just push. Will test later tonight. Perhaps getting this refurb'd device was smart in the long run besides just LTE? Funny how things work...

Ok guys. I'm about to loose my Damn mind. I probably have 5 hours invested into this simple task and haven't succeeded. All I want to do is back up all my files and can't get it to work. When I try to transfer everything I either get stuck with a window saying it is calculating time to transfer, get a few folders to transfer but none of their contents and have it just stop, or I get some folders and not contents with any number of different errors saying the files aren't in the right format (don't remember the other 4 messages I got. I tried 3 cables and every USB port on my desktop all with the same results. I then tried copying everything over wifi via airdroid. I got it going and left it for a hour or 2 and it said it finished. However the zip file it downloaded was only 4.9gb instead of 7.3gb (how much stuff I have on my phone) so I figured it just compressed it. I tried to unzip it, and just my luck, I get an error saying it can't unzip it and I can't even open it just to view the contents. I'm about to loose my mind. Anyone got any suggestions to help me out?

I've observed that when I've got my phone connected to my PC via USB that my PC won't load the file structure unless I unlock the phone. Usually, once it's been unlocked while connected, everything works fine; However, sometimes I find that the phone's gone back to sleep and the data transfer stalls out after the phone's lockscreen kicks back in. You might try disabling your lockscreen and see if that has any effect for you, but I really have no idea if it will help. Good luck.
Yeah I tried that stuff too :/ I disabled my pattern lock, tried disabling and re-enabling USB debugging, made it so my wifi never sleeps, made it so my phone doesn't sleep when charging, disabled my live wallpaper. Nada, still got zilch

It sounds like you're just trying to transfer too much at one time. Have you tried transferring just one folder? If it works when you transfer just one folder over, you can transfer a couple at a time instead of all of it at once. Good luck
