Once every few days, I can't connect to my shared folders/drives on my desktop from my S III using ES Explorer.
The irritating part is this only happens sometimes and it works just fine after I reboot my desktop pc (Windows 7 64-bit).
Also, when this happens, I can't connect from any Android device (I have a Nexus7 as well) but I can connect to the desktop fine from another windows PC/Laptop.
Anyone else encountered this issue before?

I have been running Windows 8 Enterprise at work and Windows 8 Professional on all my computers at home. I haven't had any problems connecting my phone to any computer and being able to see my phone. When i first connected my phone, the drivers automatically installed but my phone did not show up as a device under drives nor did Odin see my phone, I simply disconnected the USB cable from my phone, waited a few seconds, plugged it back in and then the computer showed my phone and Odin recognized it. Make sure you have internet access as I think the drivers are automatically downloaded from the internet.
I haven't used Odin or adb but I have cm10 installed and I was able to copy files over using windows 8.
The MTP connection appears to work on my laptop, but on my desktop (with the exact same drivers manually installed), the device doesn't work. It shows up in Windows and I can open it to see the folders in the phone and the SD card, but the files become unresponsive quickly. Example:
Plug in the phone
Navigate in explorer to my music directory and open it.
Half of the folders load and then it hangs up. The directory bar at the top does the loading animation very slowly. The rest of the contents never load and no file operations can be done. Trying to view My Computer or looking at the portable device properties also hangs up.
When I unplug the phone, the contents I was trying to load seem to appear for a split second before the windows close.
I'm pretty sure I have the drivers set up correctly since it's working on my laptop, which has the same version of Windows. But my desktop can't work with the MTP connection. If I try to sync the phone with media software, it hangs up and is "scanning" forever.
I've tried different USB cables and ports, front and back.
I've scoured the web with no luck. A few similar problems are mentioned, but no solutions. I'm guessing the issue is somehow with my desktop. What should I be looking for?
Galaxy S3 T999
Android 4.1.1

Sounds like buggy Samsung drivers to me.
On your PC, try installing the drivers in my signature.

The 1.4.6.0 Samsung driver is what I used. Like I said, it works on my laptop (also on my work PC). But my home desktop shows this weird functionality.
Okay, so I'm trying to copy files from my PC to my Nexus 7 FHD. First tried on a Windows 8.1 PC and when I plug in the N7, it installs the MTP drivers (driver date is 2006 from Microsoft). Shows up in my file explorer and I try to copy some photos but after about 5-10 seconds, it will just freeze and basically file explorer crashes.
Read another thread about MTP driver issue (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2380978) but none of that helped. Uninstalled the driver, restart, install new driver. No matter what the MTP driver is the same.
Read somewhere else that it could be a Windows 8 issue so tried on a Windows 7 laptop and same result.
No matter what, file transfers over USB wont work.
So, is this a Nexus 7 issue as a whole (as I had no issue with my N4) or just my particular device as if so, I'll return it for another one.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers.
EDIT: Noticed that I'm getting an error on the N7 that I hadn't noticed: Unfortunately, the process android.process.media has stopped. Looks like I might need to reinstall the OS from an image to fix it.
I'm having a big issue trying to connect to my new out of the box firestick over my wifi.
I've tried using the amazonfirestick utility and adbfire v1.14 and v1.22.
nothing works. always says cant connect.
I've turned off the firewall on my laptop, turned off UAC, turned off microsoft security essentials, and tried opening the programs as an administrator.
I'm running win7 home premium 64bit. I've got the debugging and 3rd party software buttons turned on the firestick. everything says it "should" connect but it wont. is this a common issue? I have no clue how to get it to connect.
any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Forget all that brother.
Install agk fire on your android phone, then install es file explorer. Open agk and install es file explorer onto your fire stick. Open file explorer on both the stick and phone, which will opens a connection to sharing files and apks between the devices. Install whatever you want!
