My galaxy nexus came today and as soon as I got it I copied several items to the sd card including my ringtones and a custom rom.
I haven't flashed anything yet, but now I can no longer copy anything to the internal storage. When trying to copy anything with windows explorer, I get an error message:
"the device has either stopped responding or been disconnected"
I have tried multiple PCs and USB cables with no luck. I was, however, able to copy music to the device using Winamp.
any ideas? I'm pretty stumped and this is very frustrating.
There should be a thread on this issue.
Did you get an answer for this problem? I seem to have the same issue.
I'm having the exact same issue. I've copied before, can't now, though the folders are viewable. Thing is, I can copy to it just fine from my work PC.
Bump, getting the same message.
So i am trying to mount my Nexus mass storage drive to my mac and windows computers and my phone will not connect to the phone. It will sometimes open up the file manager app and show me files on the computer, but the files it shows are wrongly named, previous deleted and wont let me copy anything to the drive or delete .
But when i use a file explorer on the phone, i see the right files and no mess ups.
anyone have any ideas on how to fix it so my computer reads my phone properly?
ive tried restarting all devices, used different cables and Wiped formatted and installed new roms
only thing i have not tired is format "sdcard" on the phone.
anyone know how to do this?
it was working for a little bit, but i do not know what i did to fix it. anyone got any ideas?
i am also using a LTE U.S. version of the nexus if that helps.
Im rooted running the newest AOKP Build 28
and running imoseyon_leanKernel_v2.7.2gnexus
The Nexus does not have a mass storage mode. It uses MTP. The easiest way to transfer files using a Mac is to use wifi file explorer. I had a hell of a time getting it working on my Mac using USB, so I ended up just doing it over wifi with wifi file explorer.

Oh my gosh, thank you!!
I have been having this problem forever.
Went into my kernal app and turned it off. Works instantly.
Make sure you have MTP selected under storage.
It seems I can't transfer files via Android File Transfer. On another note (haha pun), I can't believe anytime I want to access my storage I need to load this oddball program, which doesn't even work. I miss USB mass storage.
When I try to copy a file, it tells me "Could not replace file, could not copy file (filenamehere)." This is so frustrating.
Anyone have any ideas? I'm running OS X 10.6.8.
Thanks.
I too am having problems tranfering file to and from the computer. Whats frustrating is that I did not have this problem when I got the note2.
Same problem on the Mac. Had to boot into my windows side. Quite annoying if you ask me
Samsung Galaxy Note II
I have no problem transferring files running latest version of OSX on a mbp... The only time I see any error is if my screen is locked when I connect it, I have to make sure it's unlocked when i connect it for the file transfer program to work. It sees the phone and sd card perfectly fine. I see many people on int version complaining of this too but worked first time for me.
Regurgitated From My Giant Note II
When I connect to my PC, my Note shows up as "SPH-L900". Phone icon, but I can click it to open and use just like any other folder. Absolutely no issues whatsoever moving files to/from sd card.
Do you have the Samsung drivers installed? :shrug:
I can't copy or move files from the device either. I am able to copy/move files to the device.
Running Windows 7 64-bit with Samsung drivers installed.
I was really hoping to get some expert insight on this... I am bummed... I can't even get this to work on Mac or windows... what's the deal with this MTP stuff?
Samsung Galaxy Note II
I can't even notice a difference when using the mtp. Phone shows up under my computer and when i double click i can see the external and internal sd cards. I just go on with business as usual...
What kernel are you guys using?
The new Perseus kernel seems to have fixed this issue for me.

FIX?
hi guys.. I had this same problem trying to use android file transfer from my 2013 nexus 7 to macbook air.
I remembered I had a password set to access ES FILE EXPLORER on my Nexus 7 and opened the app, typed in my password and that made the trick... No more problems transferring from my Nexus 7 to the Macbook air. Tested with a 800 mb mp4.
Use ADB to transfer on OSX
I know this thread is old, but I just happened upon it. I am using OSX mountain lion, and could not transfer to my mac using the OSX Finder GUI. However, there is a workaround…. ADB PULL! (Note: this is nothing fancy/special, its just using command-line utilities instead of GUI and Android File Transfer)
**You must have ADB installed (Google, its not very hard to install it)**
1. Connect via USB
2. Disable MTP on your phone
3. open terminal and enter:
Code:
adb pull YOURFILENAME LOCATIONONCOMPUTER[optional]

You can use Android file transfer and that way you get the same mtp functions as Windows... Get it from here:

My point was for people for whom android file transfer wasn't working.
Why so defensive? Anyways good point!

I received the message "Could not copy file [filename]" and "your phone is locked" (dont remember exact wording) from the Android File Transfer app when trying to transfer a file.
The file size was small. The filename didn't seem to matter BUT i have to say: I got 3-4 successive failures with the original filename - which contained a few brackets and parentheses, but then was successful on the first attempt with a renamed file containing no special characters. But later, I was able to copy using the original filename.
Sometimes after unplugging/replugging the phone back in to restart Android File Transfer, I'd see the file appear in the location I copied it to even though it gave me an error earlier.
This did not happen consistently - sometimes it'd work normally, sometimes it'd work but appear to fail with an error, and sometimes it would just fail with an error. The phone was unlocked and on the home screen at all times.
Pretty strange. This is with Nexus 5 stock rom on 4.4.3, Android File Transfer 1.0.50.2266.
my phone connects to my computer fine, but whenever I try to copy a file to the phone or SD card I'm getting an error saying, "Cannot copy item. The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected." anyone know what I'm overlooking?
Do you have the proper drivers installed on your pc?

I've found that the cable that came with my Note 2 doesn't connect very well. It has the same problem you are describing and it wouldn't continuously charge either.
I used one of my other micro USB to USB cables and it solved the problem. Whats weird tho is the cable that came with my phone works fine to charge my girlfriends tablet. I think there is a connection problem where it doesn't securely fit into the note 2.
Don't know if this helps but changing the cable solved my issue:good:
Yeah maybe is a problem with USB cable or drivers, but when it happens to me, I just copy the files on folders not loose files..e.g if I'm copying a ROM.zip it wont let me do it but if I put that zip inside a folder then it will work

turns out the files I was trying to copy were corrupt or something- other files transfer fine. I also redownloaded those files and they transferred fine.
Hey guys,
I'm trying to transfer a ROM over to my phone's internal storage and I keep getting an error that says my device is not responding or not connected when I try to transfer the file. I've tried flashing to different ROMs (Hyperactive, CM10.1) and I still get the same issue in all of those ROMs... any help? For some reason I can copy files from my phone to my computer (a text back up file). I can also copy a small pdf to my phone.. anyone know how to fix this? I do have the sdcard/0/0/0/0/0 issue frm CM 10.1 but until now, that hasn't done anything.
Could be your usb cable. But you could try downloading straight to the phone. I never download roms to my pc.
