hey.
i used tiBackup to backup my apps and settings, and it created a "TitaniumBackup" folder in my sdcard folder.
i tried to transfer that folder to my pc through MTP but that folder is just not there (however in astro i can see it).
i understand this is some kind of issue with MTP.
question is, what other ways do i ever to get that folder?thanks
i had the same problem. i just disconnected and reconnected 30 mins later and i saw the folder there. i'm not really sure what the problem was, but it shows up eventually...
okay now i see it... but it wont let me copy files from there.. strange.. no error or some indicator..
Are you on a PC or Mac? The folders for Titanium Backup AND Clockworkmod sometimes show up and sometimes do not show up on my Mac. It's weird. What works for me usually is to plug the phone to the USB cable first, then plug the cable to the computer. Try each USB port on your computer as well.
Use the app SDrescan

I am using Windows 7 and I need to backup my data so I can move to JB. However, when I connect my phone with a USB cable and drag all the files from my phone over to my laptop, it TAKES FOREVER!!!
Also, I think it "times out" or something because in the middle of the process, I'll always get "invalid copy handle" errors and have to start over.
Does anyone know a good, fast way to backup the data on our phones?

Well you can always do "adb pull /sdcard/ C:\directory you want"
Also to backup apps+data, do "adb backup -f C:\directory you want -all -apk -noshared -system" For more info about backing up apps and data, check this thread
Hope I you have drivers installed and know how to use adb
Thanks for the ideas!
I actually tried copying one folder at a time and it's much more reliable. Still slow but at least no time outs.
I'm just glad I could help!
Transferring speed can't be adjusted, since there's a limit from the USB cable...
If there is a corrupt file that directory will fail transfer that directory manually, and avoid the corrupt file.

Use adb or access a shared folder on your computer via wifi using a file manager that supports lan shares. For instance: es file explorer.

Hello,
Today I was trying to copy some files to my Xperia S via USB from my WinXP PC. When trying to copy the files, I got the message "the device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected" with the option to skip or cancel. This happened several times, and I plugged and unplugged the cable between tries.
After giving it up, I went to the phone and found out that all my files were gone. The folders disappeared and I can't find any pictures or media files (as well as any of the files that existed before - and I have show hidden files enabled in Android File Manager app). In Settings > Storage > Internal it says that I have 25 GB free (when I should have only 2 or 3 GBs left). The current folder structure viewable in the app is probably the folders for apps that after restart, recreated the folders.
However, if I connect to PC again, I can see the old folder structure in Internal Storage and the listing of the files inside it (the photos, etc). If I try to copy inside the SDCARD or to the PC I get the same message "the device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected" and I can't open any kind of file.
I think the data is still in the SD Card, but not accessible anymore. Has anyone experienced this before and can help me?
Thanks,
andré
is your phone rooted?

I too have this problem with my Game ROMs folder with my SNES and Genesis games. I'll run the emulator and then when I go to find a game the folder has disappeared. I have them saved on my PC so I just copy it over but an actual solution would be nice. My phone is rooted and ROMed.
Oh and I tried Titanium Backups but they sometimes disappear as well. I've never had that app work for me anyways always freezes and the backup is never restored.
It seems to me large folders and files not involved in the phones dedicated folder structure seem to disappear.
The best thing for you to do would be to root your phone and try the SD card mounting app which mounts the SD card in mass storage mode. MTP mode always gives such problem so and is unreliable..

Exactly. MTP has lots of problem.
I don't understand why Android use it.
I've got a rooted stock (Jassy v5 kernel) N7 2013 and have done a titanium backup.
I'm trying to copy it to my PC and when I connect in MTP mode (developer options unchecked) the Titanium folder doesn't appear, it comes up as a 0b size file.
Titanium itself works and I can see the folder on the nexus itself (via es explorer etc.)
Is this some kind of new permissions issue? Never had this before have always been able to see my titanium folder via USB....
I tried for awhile to get it to show up on my PC but I couldn't get Windows 7 to see that directory. I ended up enabling Google Drive backup in Titanium. Then I created a backup from Google Drive on my PC.
cheers might try your workaround
would much rather have local USB though (speed, data caps etc.)
Sometimes mtp on windows gets confused and doesn't display everything
Try reboot PC and tablet and try again
I had the same exact issue. I was able to see most directories, but TitaniumBackup was missing. I ended up using AirDroid to perform a wireless transfer of the backup files to my PC. Also using Win7/MTP. Hope this helps.
iirc you have to look for a folder named /sdcard/sdcard or /sdcard/0/
There's a titanium backup folder in there, the one in /sdcard/TiB doesnt seem to hold anything. Either way its a 4.3/TiB issue.

You can still transfer the backup files to your PC over USB cable with
Code:
adb pull /sdcard/titaniumbackup c:/TitaniumBackup
The file system is whack!
Why?
Try this very simple test.
Create a new folder and create some files to put in there.
Use a USB cable and plug it into your laptop.
Open your phone.
Where is your new folder and files?
But wait, if you open up ES File Explorer on the phone, everything is there?
Okay, reboot your phone.
Then, plug it into your laptop again.
Okay, now everything is there.
It's like you have to reboot your Nexus device in order to allow your laptop to see a refresh of the storage memory.
This is why removable memory is the way to go.
I just use Filezilla and ftpserver from the play store. Easy and fast. I'll never plug my phone into the computer again to transfer files.
use a good file explorer that does refresh the storage index...try solid explorer..problem solved
every change made by solid explorer to the file system is notified to the android media store index, try to repeat your steps with solid explorer
(that happens to every new phone out there that use MTP over mass storage file transfer, about 90% of new smartphone, even phone with removable storage use MTP today )
Wires are much too cumbersome. I use ES file manager to move files to/from my tablets/PC/dropbox/Box.com. Copy and paste between any and all of those easier than using a full desktop PC. No need to search for a wire. Or even be in the same room as your PC. Problem solved.

But, the nice thing about removable storage is that it's easy to pop out the memory card and put it into your laptop. I only wish that laptop makers would put a micro SD card slot into laptops so I don't have to keep my adapter in there.
Plus, it copies way faster that way, in my experience. Also, Windows Explorer treats it like storage device, instead of some weird "thing" with the MTP method, ie, Teracopy never works with MTP.
i use root explorer and never had that issue. i created folder thru root explorer and i plugged into my laptop and i was able to view folder. but i got to say when i first got my gnex i was scared because of not having a removable sd card. but when i did have my droid X my sd card did fail, but luckily i backed everything up to my laptop before it actually failed.

excuse me, but you have created a post to state that you are not buying another Nexus device just for that silly reason you mention?
ohhh, please.... :laugh::silly:

Which is your Galaxy Nexus version? International one? I have one GSM and I've never had this kind of problem..

What? That has nothing to do with internal storage versus Sd... Might wanna learn how computers work and how to use a file explorer...

Uhh, might want to know what you're talking about before trash typing....with SD you can remove the card and use the MUCH BETTER & 10x FASTER Windows file manager, can't do that with the Nexus internal storage.

This is not a Galaxy 'Nexus' problem, it's an Android thing, its MTP.
Any app that can trigger a media scan should cure that without having to reboot.
I've been using filezilla on my pc to push files to my phone for awhile though and it is much more convenient. USB transfer is slow and those cords always break on me >.<
That's no reason to ditch the galaxy nexus though. Maybe the terrible screen, poor placement of headphone jack, and battery life though... Lol

So, I think it's just a problem linked to your Gnex. When I plug mine, I always see it on my pc like a removal memory.. And this should happen if you are rooted or not, it doesn't depend on it.

18 months of updates doesn't warrant buying a nexus anymore, I just buy a better hardware non nexus phone an install the latest google stock on it using a custom rom.
Uninstall mtp drivers from drivers management and install it again
Remove all drivers related to gnex and install again
Just download latest USB drivers zip
http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
And follow istructions

Don't know how but I never faced this issue. I use file manager.
