I finally got my Note 2 (YAYYYY) and I love it but one question...does anyone have any success using android file transfer on Mac and it recognizing the Note 2? It keeps saying that it doesn't recognize my phone...I was having the same issues with my S3 when it received the Jellybean update. TIA

When ever Adroid itself swtiched from Universal Mass Storage to whatever it is now it hasnt been recognized by my Macs since then. Possibly on the Epic 4G Touch w/ICS, but not sure if it was that far back. I have a Win 7 VM on my Macbook, and a Win 8 VM on my MacMini that i just fire up when I need to mess with a droid, Or since the Samsung folks were so thoughtful not to cover the sd slot with the battery I just throw the MicroSD into a usb reader I keep on a keychain.
You can also use Kies to transfer files via your web browser. It should already be installed on your phone. Just fire it up and follow the directions. I found it worked pretty well to transer files in both directions.
I also found that with a micro usb adapter you can plugin any usb flash or external drive and it will auto mount on your phone. The only problem I've seen with this however is that the unmounter process doesn't seem to quit on it's own after pulling the drive. This then causes the cpu to be stuck at 1.6ghz and drains the battery pretty fast. So, I just reboot my phone afterwards.

Thanks everyone. I got it working. I had to install Kies then use the uninstall icon that came in the .dmg Kies file. Once I uninstalled Kies using this method AFT recognized my phone. All is well again lol

I wish Kies wireless didn't rely on the steaming pile on insecure code that is Javascript

Only way I was successful with Android file transfer was after un installing Kies. . Also make sure you are using the usb cable that came with your phone. I tried with my old usb cable and it wouldn't recognize.

You can also use Airdroid or Wifi File Transfer to transfer files wirelessly.
Mine works fine just make sure phone is unlocked when connecting it is all I have to do. AFT pops right up and sees phone and card.

I have another question. How do I disable mobile data when I'm using wifi in my house? I know on my S3 the toggle icon was in the notifications slide down menu but how do I do it in the Note2? Thanks in advance

Hey,
I need to backup my internal storage via wi-fi because my USB connector is defective and the computer wont recognize anymore..
Any suggestions on apps or a process to do this? Someone suggested AirDroid to me..
Thanks
I know you can do it through KIES plugged into USB. KIES AIR should be able to do the same thing over wifi. I have never tried it though. I am sure somewhere here are the files for it if you are running a custom ROM that it was cut out of. Do a search and try it out.

Anyone else have other ideas? I tried Kies, it sucks (its slow and failed in the middle of my 2000 pictures, and theres no resume or synchronize, so its a fail)
I tried FSync with an ftp server which seems to work good but at first look im missing alot of files.
File expert has a good smb plugin for windows networking, do a multi select on your directories and paste them onto a network shared drive

AirDroid. Look it up on the Play Store.

My AT&T Samsung Galaxy SIII is suddenly no longer being recognized by my Windows 7 x64-bit PC. I don't recall doing anything to the phone or PC that would've caused this. It's been about a week or so since I last connected the phone to the PC, and I recall that for about a week or two before that, I was having trouble in that I'd connect the phone and nothing would happen, so I'd have to disconnect the USB cable and reconnect it, then the PC would recognize it and the Explorer window would open up on the PC showing the internal and external storage on the phone. I'm trying to transfer more of my music to the phone, and it's extremely frustrating to not be able to do that!
Any ideas what's wrong?

Have you tried another cable? The one that comes with the phone is crap.

Definitely try a new cable. I had to get a replacement chord after 2 weeks of having my phone.
I have the same problem with my Mac after updating to UCLH1 ROM....
Have the correct drivers installed?

power off the phone, remove and re-install the battery. worked for me
If you backed up the Imei recently you may have used the qpst app to set the phone to connect to a port instead of MTP. Did you recently do this ? If so you need to set usb settings back to MTP.

I had the exact same issue not too long ago. I tried re-installing drivers...pulled out battery..different usb cable..factory wipe...and also tried three different PC, and still S3 wasn't recognize. I solved this issue by using CyanogenMod 10 ROM....not to mention this rom is so much better than the stock rom . I'm currently on the NEW CM10 Night 8/19 build, and so far no issues connecting phone to PC. By the way i'm on Rogers and you can get the rom here..http://get.cm/?device=d2att

Yeppers... with other problems I've had/read, I think the latest H1 leak has major problems... which may explain why it hasn't been officially released.
Once i moved over to the H1 build, that was when my pc (w7) stopped recognizing my phone, as well. i can get into it if i mount it as camera, it will let me explore the phone/sd card but i just use Kies to transfer....
I am having a problem accessing folders/files while my Note 2 is connected to PC as Media Device.
Let me do state/clarify that I have no problem accessing any folder/file from phone when using any file manager app.
It's when I connect my Note 2 to my PC/and or Linux box, that I do not see all the available folders that I know should be there.
Some are completely missing and some are even showing up, BUT are being read as empty - particularly those that are hidden folders (that I purposely named them starting with a period to hide its contents) (yes, I have enabled "show hidden files" on my linux box as well)
This is happening on both Windows 7 and Ubuntu.
Now I'm not talking about system folders and files. I'm talking about missing folders from sdcard0 and extSdCard!
Here's the kicker though... If I remove my MicroSD card from my phone and insert it to my PC's card reader, all the missing folders/files are there!
WTF???
Is it because when using the cable to my PC the phone is being mounted as Media Device instead of an attached storage as when I insert the microsd card to my PC?
Anyone else having this problem?
Wow no one else is having this issue? It Cant just be me. It did it with the stock ROM and a custom ROM

Ive always had an issue but its Ubuntu related. Windows its a driver issue.
-first try an removing device from device manager. Unplug and reboot. Install them fresh.
-make sure you have switched on to connect as MTP. When your connected, pull it down an see what options are available.

Hi, the S4 has been running great but all of a sudden my PC will not recognize any internal Memory or SD Cards.
It's really weird. All the cables are fine. The PC recognizes the phone but no internal memory nor External cards anymore.
Any help is greatly appreciated
I get this to happen randomly at times. I'd suggest you try a different usb port. Or change the MTP usb connection to PTP. Although this will only let you transfer pictures. Try toggling the usb debugging option.

Hey Thanks but I have tried all of that. Really weird why this is happening. It was fine all of this time. The fact is the PC won't even do that on my Note 2 also. So, it can't be the s4.
Even Kies kee's saying "Connecting.." It won't even recognize any device.
This just started happening to mine too 10min ago... wont recognize drives but will phone..
Then I can get drives to show but cant transfer anything....
Then it stops and says device in use even after a battery pull...
I cf auto rooted

I can confirm this as well. I had a lot more issues with my galaxy s2. It would never show up on 1 of my laptops and I would have to use it with my desktop only.
Back to the S4, it has only happened once so far. But switching usb ports normally works for me. I'd recommend just reinstalling the drivers/kies and start over. Also before you go return your phone. Try connecting it to a different computer and see if it is recognized.
I am having trouble transferring files from the computer to my Nexus 7. Root and flashing ROM went fine everything else works flawless just can't load pictures or music onto the tablet. I am currently running android 4.3 and cleanROM 1.3 on new nexus 7. It must be something simple that I am overlooking sorry if this is a stupid question I did try to research it and came up with nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you want to do it remotely (way more annoying than with a cable, but once you get use to it, it can get handy)
Transfer rates can be relatively speaking, slow, but doesn't become a huge issue unless you're moving a lot of large sized files (i.e., high quality movies, a library of music etc.)
I use SSHDroid with WinSCP (For windows).
If you run Linux you don't really need WinSCP.
Using this method requires a little know-how with SSH / SCP to get optimal use out of this method.
Also, as a side note, your files are transmitted relatively safely (i.e., it's encrypted).
