Hello,
When I try to drag & drop movies to my Note II I am getting an error. I did a search on Google and I the answer I got is that the phone isn't in UMS mode. Then I searched how to put my Note II in UMS mode but the answer was: it can't. Although the answer isn't positive I am just putting up a new thread, maybe someone actually does know how to do this.
Thank you!

Might help if you posted up the error you are getting.
Whilst the Note 2 doesn't support UMS, it does support MTP, so I am assuming, since you've mentioned dragging and dropping, that this is working and you are seeing your Note 2 as a device.
How big are the movies you are trying to copy onto your Note 2?

Dave

Hello Dave,
Thank you for your reply.
When I am trying to drag & drop the movie I am not getting a error specifically, but a window that comes up with the message: windows explorer isn't reacting.
That is correct, I am seeing my Note 2 as a device, in particular a portable media player. Actually it isn't a movie but a Sopranos episode. It's about 2/3 gigabytes big.
I really can't figure out why it doesn't work.
Thank you.

I would like a faster solution for bigger files. But thank you anyways, I'll do it via this app till I got an solid solution.
Try transferring a smaller video file to see if that makes a difference. Do you have any problems transferring other file types (pics, text)?

I know if your memory is in FAT32 format you cannot place files on it larger than 4GB. Also if you are rooted there is an app(s) in the market for Samsung devices that switches your phone from MTP to the Android 2.3.3 USB Mass Storage Mode that might yield better results for you. I believe it is "USB Mode Switch" on Google Play. There is also a way to do it though ADB.

3rd time today I think im recommending goodsync If your devices are on the same network the transfer speed is around 2-4Mb/sec but beats connecting wires and such. Give it a shot.
Windows Explorer isn't reacting? Isn't it a problem with Windows but your phone?

No, it's a common problem.
Perhaps you should mention what format video file it is. Natively it will only allow you to transfer mp4 files. Any other files and mtp will ask if you want to convert the file. Perhaps the mtp is trying to convert the video file before the transfer. That may be the problem you are experiencing.

i did have the same problem and it was down to kies, i uninstalled the driver for my note 2 and uninstalled kies, redownloaded a fresh version of kies and installed.
the problem hasnt returned.
coming from htc, kies is the only thing i really dislike about samsung products, and will make me root if i can go back to simple plug in and pc recogise it as a hard drive like it did in the end on my gtab.

Similar to dropbox but much faster. Drop box syncs the same folders. With goodsync you can choose which folder to sync with what. Secondly dropbox stores data in the air, goodsync doesnt.

What version of windows? Windows can not see the Note2 as an external hard drive-device to drag & drop to?
What about transferring the files to a micro-sdhc card on your pc then putting it in your Note2 (which you could transfer to internal memory if you want)?
Alternatively, what about uploading to Google Drive or Dropbox & downloading it to the Note 2?

I would suggest that if you are getting a message about Windows Explorer not reacting, the problem is more likely related to the PC, not the Note.

Is not the PC. I've seen this same problem many times since Google implemented MTP, it's complete garbage.
Windows is erroring because the transfer is damned slow that it just times out on large files. I've pretty much given up trying and just take the SD card out and plug it in to my card reader now; it's faster and actually WORKS.

Sorry, but I've transferred films larger than this without error, so I cannot agree with your findings.
YMMV, but thus far I have not had to remove the sdcard from my Note 2 in order to transfer a movie to my device. The largest individual file I've transferred came in at a shade under 2GB, but I've also transferred over 4GB total in multiple files without issue.

Dave.

I had a similar issue, the fix isn't exactly something you'd think of.
Do you have the DivX codec installed on your PC?
If yes, uninstall it. Doing so fixed the issue for me.
Any mkv file I tried transferring would crash Windows Explorer until I uninstalled the DivX codec.

Guys.. I have a problem >.<
I was copying my music files across in MTP mode and suddenly it stop functioning. I cant copy anything on to my GN anymore. I try switching to PTP mode but same problem.
I can view the file on GN fine but I cant copy anything now. Any help please >.<
Note: I just finished copied 2 albums and that is it so my storage is not full.
had the same problem!
try not to copy & paste multiple files at once, rather copy whole folders!
at least it worked for me. I read about this problem somewhere else.
It just plain does not work. You would think that due to the lack of USB mass storage, Google, Samsung - whoever would have refined the MTP, but it's totally hit or miss. Do yourself a favor and get Airdroid from the market. It's free, and it works. Pretty damned dissapointing for a $700 phone.

I don't think so, lot's of people with issues. I think you will find Airdroid much faster than USB anyway.
That is really freakin annoying. This afternoon I transfered Gigs of Music, now it won't even let me copy pictures. I un- and reinstalled drivers, rebooted both PC and phone, still nothing. Can't even use Airdroid as I don't have a WiFi network here.
Yeah, I agree, MTP has been nothing but buggy for me as well. Sometimes it shows some folders, sometimes it shows them all. Same with files.
I just did a little learning about MTP http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_Transfer_Protocol interesting read. I wonder who is to blame for the bugginess, the host (initiator) or the device (responder)?
For me Unfortunately, MTP application has stopped problem is solved !!!
Read my post #6, problem is solved !!! very minor point but we tend to overlook it...

sooo, how are we supposed to transfer files? I finally have my phone working "the way it's supposed to" so the PC sees it and it shows up as an MTP device. I can open and delete files on it, but whenever I try to transfer files, it just says copying... and stays there indefinitely...
i've been having to email myself things, or remove the sd card, put things on it, then copy/paste to the internal card...what the heck does Samsung really want us to do?

I feel ya. I HATE mtp with a passion. That being said, the indefinite copying could be the result of a bad cable and/or a crappy computer.(seen both) my recommendation, fu*k mtp and just push everything with adb. that's what I do. If ur unfamiliar with adb get something like android commander or QTADB. Way less of a headache for me

i just tried with the stock samsung cable, this time got a message saying the device wasn't responding or was disconnected, and the copying stayed there as well.
to the poster who said it's about a crappy computer, that's not very good logic. I can transfer file between my tablets, other phones, portable hard drives, etc. I can play the latest games, use very intensive programs just fine. i just can't seem to transfer via MTP. ****ty computer, or ****ty transfer protocol? i think the latter.
Make sure you have the right driver installed. Here is a link to install it manually if need be.
I had that problem then I enabled usb debugging now my pc recognizes it as a mass storage device and transfers files flawlessly. I would try that.
My PC wont install the drivers. Im pretty much completely SOL. Ive tried multiple cables.
Air droid is a alternative method.

You have to uninstall old drivers first and reboot then plug phone in. Also if you have wifi then you can transfer files back and forth without a cable ot mtp.

Sup peeps..
was wondering what people were using to pass files from computer to phone or vice versa... i know in windows its simple, but on mac, the phone doesn't seem to show..
I have problems with my Samsung phones with OS X, that is if they are rooted and Kies is installed. I have a 17" MBP and use an express slot 3/4 card reader to pop my microsd into a sd card and go from there.
I have found that an app called Airdroid (free) allows you to open a web browser and connect to your phone and have full access of it.
yeah, thing is, i wanted to use KIES but to be blunt, it is S**T, i've used kies wi-fi and its still slow as hell so im looking for an alternative
i was having issues with the SD card, which ever i used (tried about 4)
I searched online and nothing seemed to work, until i saw one which told me to insert the SD as quick as i could, becuase if stick in the SD slowly it won't read it, ODD as hell.... funnily enough it worked !!

Install Kies. After installing Kies, open, go to tools on the menu and select install drivers. Install drivers. You can then use Android File Transfer available form the market (download and install on your Mac.) When you connect your phone it will automatically open.

Thumbs up for Airdroid here. I use it almost every time. 98% of the time at least. It's a fantastic, fast tool. If you're going to be copying gigs and gigs, then maybe over USB, but to copy over a movie or music or pictures, I use Airdroid.

Why are you using Kies? Just plug the phone in to a USB port (without Kies running) and you can access the phone as a media device (on windows 7 anyway). Just open up and choose the phone or card depending on where your information is stored. Drag and drop and it copies automatically.
why do you need kies again?
it's a lot slower than just copy and paste all your musics on the drive itself

Hello, I am having a problem with my note 3 where if I access it from my computer (through usb 3.0), trying to create folders or rename anything causes the explorer window to freeze without accomplishing anything. I've seen posts about this before on here but without any solution. Does anyone have any idea of what I can do to fix this? Clearly most people do not have this problem. I will update if more information is needed.
I'll add that I am not sure if the problem actually lies with the phone or my computer, however I have never experienced this with anything other than my phone, including of course external hard drives.
WiFi File Transfer can help

I have been having the exact same problem with my Note 3, as recently as last night. I connect the device, the computer recognizes it, and I can browse the files/folders, move things around. But if I try to rename a folder, it just freezes. Actually, sometimes it freezes when I try to copy files too. I have no idea why.
I found a way to get around it, but it involves using the WiFi File Transfer app from the Play Store. The app is excellent. You install it, and then just type in the URL it gives you in your web browser. You can do everything you would normally do with your device (transfer files, rename folders, delete files, etc). There's both a free and a pro version. I bought the pro because it was such a useful app. Link below:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smarterdroid.wififiletransferpro
(Hit the thanks if it was helpful. )
I have always had this problem.
It's something to do with how the phone is mounted to the pc. They changed it a few yrs back.
So I now just use wifi tranfer app. It's fast and I don't have to plug up the phone every time I need a file.
And I think it's freezing because it's re reading the phone and taking to long and timing out or something.

Hmm, interesting. Have either of you tried AirDroid? I haven't tried the software you guys linked yet but judging purely by the play store page, AirDroid looks like it functions and looks better. Anyway, I was aware of that option and AirDroid is what I'm using right now but I still find it annoying to have to switch from one to the other. I was hoping there would be an easy fix.
Am I allowed to make two questions in one thread or should I make another thread?
just user airdroid drag and drop or just dont rename folders

Yes, I have tried Airdroid a couple of times, as recently as last week. WiFi File Transfer is much simpler to use IMO, which is exactly what I was looking for. But i'm sure that either would work for what the OP is looking for.
mine also does that on PC, have to retry several times till it stops hanging explorer
