I have no option for usb data transfer. Just MTP and PTP. When trying to drag and drop I get "Calculating the time required to copy the files". It copies nothing.
Airdroid, wifi explorer, kies doesnt transfer a damn thing.
ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED!
Make sure that your drivers have been installed properly, first off (I think this is a big problem for a lot of ppl). And on the phone, in Settings > Storage > Menu > Computer Connection > "Media device (MTP)" is checked. (I also believe unchecking "USB Debugging" in Developer options can help, too).
If your drivers are set up, you should get a prompt (assuming you're on Windows 7) to "open folder and view files" and you'll get an Explorer window. Just drag/drop files on the device.
You can also use a WiFi FTP transfer app (I wanna say AirDroid is a popular one?). Some prefer it this way.
How can you tell if the drivers have been installed properly?
I can drag and drop one file at a time but nothing more

If you plug your phone in and don't get an error. And in device manager it should show up as "Galaxy Nexus" or "Samsung Galaxy Nexus".

Sounds like a possible issue with your setup. I just recently re-installed a fresh 32bit Windows 7 install on my MacBookPro, and without any driver tweaking or anything I was able to connect and drag/drop files back and forth.
I do have issues with my desktop and plan on wiping it.

MTP can be finnicky but there's no technical reason why it can't work just fine (as I said it works perfectly for me and others here).
Have you tried something like AirDroid (linked above)? Or if you're just sitting on WiFi you can always just upload to DropBox (Google Drive) and download on the phone/PC.
airdroid hasnt worked for me. I'm not positive but I think there are certain files that won't transfer via cloud.

Should be able to transfer anything. Don't see any restrictions to it.
Is your Kies properly Installed?
Hi,
If your Samsung Kies was properly installed (means took quite time for installing Driver for Samsung devices). Your phone should be detected once connected via USB cable. Some devices may have different situations. Exp. file transfer in SamsungGalaxyTab10.1 will not display exact time for file transfer Window. Once device connected via USB cable, and Your device's Name Pops Up in your window, means it's successful. Transfer shd not be problem.
Sometimes, Phone may not the cause, perhaps ur Pc/laptop might limited capability for Kies Support.
If your case is different, perhaps you can uninstalled and reinstalled it in control panel. Uninstalling Kies will not remove ur Phone's Driver data. Hope this Helps.
Sincerely,
whitefang
**** takes forever to transfer via usb. is this a known issue on the nexus or just me? I have never had a phone with issues in transfering data. I'll give a clous service a try again. I appreciate your help

It's a known "issue" that people have really funky PC setups and have issues installing drivers. It's not inherently a technological problem with MTP or the Galaxy Nexus. As I said before, it's just a bit more finnicky than USB Mass Storage (UMS), which is used on most other phones.
I'll keep referring to the fact that on a bare Windows 7 install, with no previously installed drivers, I was able to plug in my Galaxy Nexus, auto-install drivers, and xfer files back/forth without a hiccup... that'll give you an idea for where the problem lies

Like martonikaj said, you should be able to transfer everything wirelessly. It's probably your fastest bet.
I either do that, or use ADB. While it's not as fast, I find it to be more stable than MTP (but that could be just me).
I assume download files as a zip and then open them on the pc? I assume all I would have to transfer would be titanium backup since it contains all app and system data. I know some of my questions might seem silly but i want to make sure i dont loose any data.
I've tried downloading the samsung drivers on 3 different pc with 3 different operating systems and cant get the drivers to properly load. I'm a little upset with Samsung at the moment. I never had a problem wit HTC or Moto phones.
you can use Alt Mounter app on mac & windows
go to goole & search it
then download AltMounter.apk & install it to your phone
then download altmounter for windows & install it to your pc
after that run altmounter in your pc & also run altmounter in your phone
after that plug the usb cable . the phone storage shows up in a window
this is verys simple & i like it
you can use it if you have problems with MTP
I'll give it a shot, thanks!
Good Evening folks,
I'm posting here after spending the better part of 2 days trying to figure out why this doesn't work.
So, i have the following:
model: GT-N7100
Version: 4.1.1
Build: JRo03C - ALJ1
I run a PC with windows 7 and also have a laptop with windows 8.
Now, initially i only wanted to root my device to install an addblocker on it and get rid of some bloatware. so i went and got samsung note2 toolkit here on XDA. (also tried others)
but no matter how i tried the pc (nor laptop) would see the note 2. it would plug in, it would charge... but windows ignored it otherwise.
i have tried al 8 of my USB ports on the desktop, and all 3 on the laptop. none of them work
3 different USB cables.
re-booted more then times then i can count.
i have manually installed the samsung drivers.
i have tried installing the windows MTP Porting kit
all to no avail.
So before i can even START to root... i need it to to play nice with my machines... anyone have ANY suggestions on what the hell is going on here.
If your main priority is to root then use exynos abuse

Did you install Kies on your PC? That program needs to be open when you connect your phone and then it will install the needed drivers.

Or install the drivers using the Note Toolkit http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1923956
Does it show as an unknown device in windows under device manager?
I'm having the same issue but I have a suspicion that its the USB port on the phone itself as my gnex can use the same cable/USB port and show up as mtp.

My Note 2 N7100 is 'seen' by my windows 8 machine, but it doesnt seem to copy/ paste anything. Pops up with an error. The same happens on a Mac Lion machine. Installed the Android File Transfer app, but the moment I connect my phone, it pops up a message saying please restart your device so that it can be detected. I am tired of transferring individual files over AirDroid Any help?

What's the error message?
Happened to me before, un install kies on your pc reboot, download from Samsung website and install again, should work
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
first of all I forgot to mention that this should've been posted in Q&A section
for the problem try the following steps. after each one of them try connecting again. keep net disconnected while you follow the steps.
if it starts working then stop other wise continue.
1)use a diff comp, but you already did that , use a different cable, you didn't mention it
2)try uninstalling drivers via programs and features.
3)try installing drivers - preferably via mskip's toolkit
if you have windows 7, then directly install it
if you have windows 8, then first disable driver signature enforcement via this guide's last question.
4)try re installing windows. if you don't wanna do that then
open device manager
in view -> show hidden devices
delete each one that says samsung, note ii or note 2, android, google, adb, gt-n7100, n7100
this will ensure that you truly remove drivers
follow step 3) after this.
Hope I helped
All the usual and helpful ideas have been listed and you should definitely work thru those to make sure you are not missing something obvious but critical. I also use Win8 (64) and all was well with my Note2 showing up as an MTP device and wll working then one day, seemingly spontaneously, it suddenly didnt! When I would plug my Note2 in, Windows would give me a USB error telling me it could nto recognise the device! To cut a long story short, I tried my wife's S2 and IT appered fine as an MTP device happily enough, so that ruled out the cable, the port and the computer/OS.
I then tried my Note2 on my laptop, and once again it came up as USB error, so the problem was following the DEVICE around....
After a lot of googling, I tried on thing that fixed it instantly:
On the phone, go into Settings, Security and delete all the "Device Administrators" which in my case was just my Email app. That did delete my email account from my phone (contacts, email etc) but didnt matter as phone is just a dumb client to the mail server so no loss of any real data.
Once removed, I then plugged phone in and BOOM! MTP device happily appeared! I then went back in and just re-added my email account and re-activated Device Administrator when asked. Working ever since.
Not saying this is your problem, but it was an eye opener to me that the Device Administrator could 'lock out' the USB connection of the device....
Hope this helps.

I would also recommend checking your Windows Update log - especially if you have it set to automatic updates. After I installed the drivers off of the Samsung website, Windows Update tried to "Update" my drivers to an older version (I do manual Windows Updates). The first time it asked, I let it, and my phone couldn't connect anymore. Once I stopped that silliness I stopped having problems.

I was having the same problem, but I was using a USB cord that I had from my old phone. Switched to the white one that came with my Note 2 and it started working.
I posted another thread with problems with odin and my ace 2. I uninstalled all the samsung driver's, I then reinstalled the samsung driver's and i get all these missing bluetooth driver's and 2 android driver's on my device manager. I can assume this is why odin is not working can anyone help please ? I have attached an image of my device manager. Also the samsung ADB interface driver only pops up when my device is plugged into my computer.
Thanks

I don't know about the bluetooth drivers but indeed Android adb driver should work. So here is what I suggest.
Go to the Samsung Android Phone tab, and uninstall these 2 drivers in there, restart laptop, then go and download the ace 2 drivers from here and see if it works, ah btw let the phone connected during the whole process.
Thanks for the advice i followed your advice, uninstalled both the samsung and ADB then restarted my computer. I then reinstalled the drivers you provided with my device plugged in, while they were installing. I got the bluetooth drivers popup again, Also theres a new thing under my portable devices tab i will post more screenshots this is really boggling me :/
Also this popped up when installing the drivers to do with the bluetooth.....
looks like MTP won't work either eh? Well let's see if it's the phone or the pc
Firstly follow those instuctions to do some troubleshooting.
1) Go to http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/downl....aspx?id=19153
3) Download the file
6) Run it
7) Follow the instuctions (NextNextNextNext)
That's it, now the MTP devices should work correctly.*
(ALSO Try de-selecting usb debugging)
If this won't work then I guess it's a problem with the phone.I read somewhere in a thread that some dude with the same problem on a samsung phone did factory wipe, wiped dalvik, and installed another ROM, then the usb drivers problem got fixed.
Good luck.
EDIT: Also check this site here it seems to have solution regarding the bluetooth peripheral thing.
none of those links work It has also stopped coming up as mtp it now just says GT-I8160. Also i noticed when i start up my computer it fails to start until i unplug it and plug it in again (attached pictures)
Also there is no android adb anymore its just the samsung one.... is this right? i appreciate your help
I am also using a 64bit version of windows 7 if that makes any difference.
Have you tried connecting the phone to some other pc just to know which one is the problem?
I've ran outta ideas...well the problem seems to be with the device itself and if not then it's probably the usb port,maybe insert to another port or try your luck on google, search for something like "windows failed to recognize android phone"or smth similar. I'll do some more research and try to help y'out tomorrow

I tried disabling usb debugging also i tried the drivers on my netbook. I am having really strange problems on there with odin i plug it in and odin wont pick it up and as soon as i unplug it it says added then removed very weird :/ thats only when the phone is in download mode....
Im thinking its either the cable or the phone. Im not sure though..
Remove all Samsung related drivers.
Restart pc
Use cccleaner to clean the registry
Reboot pc
Use the drivers that i have provided in the s advance forum in my all in one guide. Install the drivers without connecting the phone.
After the drivers are installed, turn off internet connection and then connect the phone.

Thanks for the new idea shaaan I have succesfully followed steps 1 and 2. But I am struggling to find your all in one guide would one be kind to link me ? I did a forum search with no luck. Also I am using a galaxy GT-I8160 would using the s drivers matter? and thanks for the help mojito0 I would like to think it isn't the cable or phone, as I have literaly owned them for 8 days (just over a week). I can always see if i can borrow another cable of my friend today though
edit: I found your all in one guide I am now going to attempt what you said
After removing all the samsung related drivers and restarting I get all these devices come up? The device is not plugged in either.
I dont know if this helps atall, but I finished doing what you said ignoring the drivers.... Then went to flash using odin, Put the phone into download mode and noticed that after a couple of seconds of being stuck on setup connection. It then says the GT-I8160 cannot start, Also the mtp and adb android driver is still displaying that yellow explanation mark :/ I am a newbie to android here and dont know the difference betwene the samsung adb and the android one as listed do they both need to be working?
Remove all the displayed devices from other devices, also remove that Samsung adb thingy and also there will be one Samsung related device in the usb section! Remove them all and then follow my steps.
As for your driver query, the drivers are universal for a specific range of devices. The driver version 2.0+ should work for all devices which were released in 2012

Its a good chance that its a cable problem. Also got in Settings>Storage>[Menu]>Make sure 'MTP' is selected. You can try PTP as well I guess.
If you need to transfer file for emergency purposes use 'Airdroid' for the moment. I think you can use 'ES file explorer' but that would be a little more complicated.
cable work fine... i think some setting im missing or driver in my computer...

Download the WugFresh Nexus Toolkit. It has a setup for drivers, maybe that would help. You can also try adb push/pull commands to transfer files via usb.
Go to : settings >> Storage >> USB computer connection , then check the option you want ( MTP or PTP )
in some roms i was not able to connect my device till i uncheck USB debugging form Developer options menu

I had connected n7 to winxp at my work computer without installing latest wmp-****. I do remember unpacking wmp-installer then manually installing some libs from it's dirs, but I do not remember if I had to add n7 vid&pid to some inf file. I will try and write some guide
MTP wintout installing WMP11
Hi,
This is just another guide how to install driver and access nexus 7 2013 in windows XP...
Get a WMP install for winXP
Extract it by using command:
Code:
wmp11-windowsxp-x86-xx-xx.exe /C /T:[full-path-to-dest-dir]
eg.
Code:
E:\_TEMP\8\>wmp11-windowsxp-x86-xx-xx.exe /C /T:e:\_temp\8\wmp11\
Go into extracted directory, we are interested in files: wmfdist11.exe and umdf.exe
Install them, one is User Mode Driver Framework and other one is "media framework"
Go to
Code:
%windir%\inf
( eg.:
Code:
C:\WINDOWS\inf
)
Make a copy of file wpdmtphw.inf and open original one in notepad.
Find section [VendorModels.NTx86] (or [VendorModels.NTamd64] if you have winxp 64bit)
At end of section add line:
Code:
; Nexus 7 2013 LTE
%GenericMTP.DeviceDesc%=MTP, USB\VID_18D1&PID_4EE2&REV_0228&MI_00
Reboot your computer. Unplug also your Nexus, also switch off USB Debugging because of that you will see two MTP devices and you might try install MTP drivers for debug (which fail, or windows will yell with code 10...)
Hook up Nexus and when windows popup about installing drivers, choose that you have driver and the location point to search set to
Code:
c:\windows\inf
, click next, windows might complain that this driver is not intended to use with this device, so give win a slap and wait patiently until windows install driver
Windows might install drivers twice, just remember to point to windows/inf directory or directory with google usb driver http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
---------------
After almost a year I noticed I made a hell of mistake , There should be MI_00 (MI stands for Media Interface 0) not MI_01 (MI 01 is for ADB ). And There is no need for 1st line ( USB\VID_18D1&PID_4EE2&MI_00 ).
I am terribly sorry for committing such basic error.
I already fixed those error in this my "guide"...

I had this issue with 3 different phones of my own. I ultimately had to remove the Samsung drivers and reinstall them. Do a google search for captivate drivers, you should find an xda post on this somewhere.
