when the screen of my GNexus is locked, all working apps "freeze".
for example, when i copy something with my file sharing app called WebSharing from PC to GNexus, there always appears some errors or other connection issues..
and it's not only about WebSharing, many apps act like that
why this happen and how to fix it? i know i can choose in settings to not let device go in lockscreen mode when plugged with usb cable but i don't wanna use cables all the time when i want to transfer files. if i wanted use cables i wouldn't use such apps to transfer files via wifi.
i hadn't such a problem on my sgs2, don't get why it happens on nexus...
p.s. well, thank god i can still listen music in lockscreen
I noticed the same thing using Foldersync. It won't upload files to the web unless the device is "on". Perhaps it's a limitation of ICS or just a bug.

The Android File Transfer program on my mac keeps crashing. When i connect my galaxy nexus to my comp, the AFT program prompts, however the spinning wheel never stops spinning. i rebooted my computer and i re-installed Android File Transfer, but i cant figure out what seems to be the problem. I am running on 4.0.4, it worked fine when i was on 4.0.2. Does it relate to the new update? any suggestions? im trying to transfer files, and i prefer to do it this instead of via bluetooth, or via wifi using severs.
Mine is really picky as well. If I try to transfer large folders I often get the raindow wheel and have to force quit too. I've also found that instead of transferring large folders, its easier to create the folder on the phone and simply transfer the contents of the folder from your comp to your phone. I also always just unplug/replug the USB end.
Set your Gnex screen to stay on while it's charging. That seemed to help me.
Yeah this happens to us all I think. AFT is downright terrible.. I use AirDroid now to transfer files. It's slower than USB transferring, but its keeps me from raging over how bad AFT is /heh
But AirDroid is simple and effective, I definitely recommend trying that out.
Mine works fine. Works best if you unlock the phone then connect it. Let it open AFT and do your thing.
What version are you guys running? The current version is Version 1.0 (1.0.16.6656) and it seems to work perfectly on my MBP.
The older builds were completely useless.
It happened to me, I removed the program and reinstalled and now it is working well.
Just installed this on MBP with Lion and it's working fine. Just have to set the transfer to MTP (it was in camera mode).
Ya it does seem that it works now.
Latest version works pretty good. Not a big fan of the gui interface. Wish it looked a little better. Agree making folder on phone makes things a little easier.
I haven't used anything other than adb push or pull since android 1.6
Hey Im a bit late to the party but maybe this will work for those of you having trouble..
Im on the Samsung Galaxy S2 (running the CM9 nighties) and haven't been able to get it to mount on my Mac Pro ever since going to CM9.
None of the options (MTP, USB Mass Storage, etc) worked for me at all.
I was going to download the Mac File Transfer app again (since I initially downloaded it on my phone and now have no way to get it onto my Mac) but the website was down this morning so I ran off to Google instead.
I ran across a post regarding the Galaxy Note over at androidforums.com where someone said to turn off USB debugging, and then it works. The instant I turned off debugging, the good old Android USB Mass Storage screen came up when I plugged in the USB cable, I clicked the 'Turn On' button at the bottom and it mounted both my internal and external SD cards just like it used to when I was running the stock ATT 2.3.4 rom.
Try that and see if it works for ya!
Sounds simple enough, I will definitely try it when I get home from work!
It works! Awesome tip Slavestate!
Ok, I know I'm not crazy, but is there ANY way, besides Bluetooth, to transfer large files between the LGOG and another Phone?
I've tried the LGOG's FileShare app but it refuses to recognize my GS3 even after they both connect via Wi-Fi Direct. And just using plain ol' Wi-Fi Direct doesn't even come up as a sharing option on this phone. I can't use NFC obviously because it's only intended for small files and links. I've already tried bluetooth, but I have another thread floating around this forum detailing my experience with my LGOG being unable to connect to ANY other phone after it powercycled when connected to a friend's GS3. (On a side note, it did it AGAIN when I was connected to my bluetooth speaker today)
This is the only thing that freaking bugs the hell out of me about this device. The lack of options to wirelessly share files between devices. Obviously my bluetooth is most likely defective. Waiting on a custom OS to see if that will resolve my BT issues. But come on, this is ridiculous.
EDIT:
Oh, and the SmartShare app limits you to only Pictures, Video, and Music!
You could always connect both phones to a PC and put them in MTP mode (not charge mode) and the PC will recognize them both as a media player, allowing you to browse the entire file system. Then just copy the file from one phone to the other using PC.
Can't WiFi direct be used? I know you tried it but maybe your doing something wrong. Sadly I've never messed with it

Yeah, I know the old school way. I'm just looking for a way to do it wireless.

Well, I have a GS3 also. On that phone, whenever you long press on a file/app and click "Share", Wi-Fi Direct comes up as one of the options to use as a file transfer medium. All you have to do is clock wifi direct and click the device and BOOM! The file starts sending. However, on the LGOG, it's not that simple for some odd reason. I can turn on wifi direct on both phones AND link them. But if i wanna send a file from my LGOG to another wifi direct device, it doesn't come up as a share option. You can open up Smartshare and use the LGOG like a DLNA server and play/upload music, movies, and pictures from the LGOG to the other wifi direct device. But Smartshare (unless i'm using it wrong) only limits you to those three options. What if I want to transfer an 850MB .zip or .iso file???
You could try "samba file sharing" on the market. Phone should show as a samba share on your windows network. Then you can use es file explorer, LAN, access the share. Have not tried, but this should enable wireless file sharing.

Haha, so funny that you mentioned that app. I did an intense search and ended up stumbling on Samba Fileshare a few hours after my last post. Has a tendency to force close every now and then but it works pretty good.
I have this very strange issue which I discovered on my month old Note 2. I never had this issue with my previous device which was a Nexus S.
I hook up the phone via USB to my PC. Select "camera PTP" mode. Then when I browse the folders via Computer\GT-N7100\Phone\DCIM\Camera I don't see any videos that I shot. However, when I browse the files through the default "my files" app in the phone I see them. Why is this?
Windows 8 detected the device and installed all drivers too. Because of this I am not able to move the videos shot with the phone to my PC. Any help?
----------
Secondly, when I type on the default Samsung keyboard and make typos, the keyboard suggests the right spelling which is nice. However, when I tap on space, the suggested right spelling is not used. However, the wrongly typed spelling which I typed is used. This was not the case with the default keyboard which came on the Nexus S, it automatically used the suggestion. Any way to configure the keyboard the right way?
Any help on these 2 , especially the first one will be greatly appreciated.
to transfer, try airdroid

Mount as mtp not ptp for video and file transfers. Default keyboard doesn't autocorrect you'd have to use one of the modded stock keyboards from the themes and apps section
I like to break stuff!

I mounted as mtp only. But still no luck. Is it something like large files are being ignored? Anybody else facing problem?
I finally used airdroid only to download the videos. But it’s not a straight forward fast process.

You can always use a file explorer and move them to your ext sd then pull it from the device and pop it in your PC to transfer them

As of late, every time that I connect my phone via USB, I loose my play lists, and have to restore from a backup in order to get it back. Has anyone has this happen?
Also, since Sons Of Android doesn't seem to be getting an update anytime soon, can someone recommend a ROM?
Thanks
you might have USB debugging enabled and your playlist is probably saved on your external there for your playlist wipes for the moment but should always come back after disconnect of the USB am i wrong here just let me know bro ? and also i been running beanstalk coming from slimbean and i got to say both of these ROMs have got me set 1day battery life on either of them everything works for me might differ for others
I guess I should be more specific........I can connect to USB, and everything is fine IE charging, if I transfer files, that is when this happens.
Yes USB debugging is one, but the playlist never comes back, even after a reboot.
can you refresh the player you are using like if you was to be re-scanning media but this is just refreshing the playlist ....when you disconnect it from the PC hit refresh on music player if that does not work try and do your transferring without debugging see if you have the same results im out of ideas bro sorry
Hi guys,
All of a sudden I can't get access to my GNex which I'm running official, un-rooted Google Jellybean 4.2.whatever
When I plug the phone in USB I get the Galaxy Nexus in my explorer, when I open it I get the "Internal Storage." I open that up but then all the folders just keep loading in apparently, and the progress bar at the top just keeps going forever and ever. If I try to access any of the folders then Windows Explorer hangs completely until I unplug the phone.
I've tried turning on/off the USB debugging, I've tried turning switching between MTP and PTP and unplugging/replugging in the phone but nothing seems to work.
This all worked perfectly fine until recently and I have no freakin idea why.
I've got the drivers installed (the ones necessary to use the GNex Toolkit because I used that to wipe my phone completely and use an official ROM.
I can access everything just fine on the phone itself with a file explorer app so I don't believe it to be a memory corruption thing or something like that.
Here's a pic of what I mean.
http://i.imgur.com/6C63Yk0.png
You can see the bar at the top, you can see some named folders and some unnamed folders. If I try to access any of them it just hangs.
If I leave it to run and progress through the bar just keeps going forever, it doesn't stop and I still can't access any of the folders.
Any ideas?
Do you connect your phone via USB hub or anything similar?
If you do try to put your phone directly to USB.
If you have Logitech unifiying reciever try to unplug it and without it. That was a problem couple of times for me.
I am having problem with phone constantly disconnecting from USB in Explorer, don`t know why. MTP is such a bad solution, using AirDroid most of the times

It's not plugged in a USB hub at all. It goes right into my PC with a USB cable that I've always used so it's really weird that this is happening now.
What's airdroid? I'll have to look into that, thanks.
