[Q] Windows 8 deactivates when using Samsung drivers - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

OK. I searched and searched....maybe my searching skill sucks. If you can point me to threads that show some possible solutions, thank you.
Do we just wait for Samsung/Microsoft to fix this or has the XDA community found a solution?
Problem:
Install latest Samsung drivers for Galaxy S3 from samsung.com. Works first time, you can copy files to and from. Second time you plug your phone in, Windows 8 deactivates. Unplug your phone, Windows 8 is activated.
I found this thread on MS website:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...g-galaxy/fa47bd42-9866-4cc7-9611-f01c7de7702d

If I remember right I believed I have read that this is a common bug they are working on fixing. I have not seen any fix info though

This worked. Those drivers that are listed in the thread are a different version (1.5.18) compared to Samsung's (1.5.14).
Working as intended now.
Thank you so much!!!

Oh.. Thank you Stylez. I'm aware that I sure as hell should have used the search function to make things easier for the moderators, and I'm sorry that I was unable to overcome my haste. Please understand that I felt this was very urgent because none of my phones (Omnia; Wing; Dash) were picking up the computer's connection, and I didn't think the problem was my computer. I did a complete system restore, so that might have been the culprit. Anyway, things are working perfectly now, and I've finally been able to try the new Windows Live! Thank you guys. I'm glad i can always get good help here.

[HTC] Touchxplorer release

http://forum.touchxperience.com/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=582&p=2310#p2308
julian schapman has just released touchxplorer there are some limits
it seems to only work on htc devices. Non htc devices will have to wait a bit...
The device is only meant for chevron unlocked/developer unlocked devices that are HTC
Have fun with it
As a matter of fact, tried it on Samsung Omnia 7 and it didn't work. Very promising
Hi there, I couldn't find it on Martket PLace ... so, how did u install it ? thanks.

maybe you should read the post before commenting...theres a link and a set of instructions.
Anyhow, already had it loaded on my phone since earlier. Been monitoring his site. It works as advertised. Can't wait till we get some more functionality =D
I like it. Work very well. Top!
One wish I have:
In the folder "Windows", if I mark one file, open this and go back,
its a litle bit sad, that open after from the begining "Windows", and begin not at the last opening.
You have after to scroll a long way down, till you are at the last file you see.
But its only a detail. ;-)
Very good work!
Here we go again.
Some apps in the legit market place and others in the grey market. Yay?
Is it possible to copy WP7 to PC?
works outstandingly! very fast, very smooth on my device. got a custom ringtone!!!!! thanks so much
I actually had this installed for the past week on my HD7 which is what I am typing this post on but just 10 minutes ago a message came up and stated that Touchxplorer has be revoked by Microsoft and it would not let me do anything TILL I uninstalled it. Anyone else getting this problem? Looks like I will have to reinstall it somehow.

Zune likes to relock the device which causes that error... you just need to unlock it again to get it working.... very fun game of unlocking all the time...
There's one bug: sometimes after backing to the previous folder the list displays each item twice. Except that, the app works perfectly.
Just got an error. This app has been revoked by m$hit please uninstall. Should i reinstall it and will it work?

m$hit? Really? You purchased and use a product by a company you refer to as m$hit? You don't seem like the brightest person in the world and definitely not the most mature. I have to hope you're 12 years old, I would prefer to not believe an adult would be so lame.

Hi I also really tried but I can not find how to install this on my HD7
Can you or somebody please explain how ?
Did any one had success in copying files from WP7 to PC or the other way around?
I used the zune storage hack and copied some word documents on to the device, in the same folder I have put 2 ringtones I know work using ringtone installer from chevron, some photos and other files.
Sadly I can not find them anywhere on the device via Touchxplorer?
Any ideas?
The same the other way around. Found all the folders holding my music/videos (albait not with original file names) and tried copying other files in there including wp7 ringtones. I can see all items that were there when zune added them but none of the one's I copied.
Any solution?
how can i install it on my phone?

According to the mobile Odin app page the galaxy nexus is supported. I installed it,root access was granted,than tell me my device is supported. Check root access (my nexus is rooted).Than I'm prompted to to a dump. I did its logged than I get a blank mobile Odin screen.Can someone lend me some advice.Thanks in advance.
Somebody has to have a idea.
I think obtaining a logcat and sending it to chainfire will give you a better chance of fixing your problem.

I have a Sprint GNEX, and I am researching Mobile ODIN prior to installing it. The Sprint GNEX is the toroplus, and does not currently appear on the compatible device list.
The toro (Verizon GNEX) is there, and the Google GNEX models are there too, but for some reason the Sprint model is not.

Edit:
Habitformer, please accept my most abject apologies if my post struck you as offensive or derogatory in any way and to any degree. Such was not my intent, I assure you, but after rereading it for the Nth time, I can see how it could be.
So, at the risk of making it even worse:
I understand that you have flashed just about every ROM ever mentioned on XDA, and that compared to me you are a towering expert. It is more than possible that, in the context of Mobile ODIN compatibility, the differences between variants of GNEX are irrelevant, which would make my post an embarrassingly explicit demonstration of smooth-brain syndrome.
Even the most knowledgeable person can proceed from a false assumption, and when I read this post:

I thought that you may have done so, since I had obsessively scrutinized the compatible device list both on Play and here on XDA for "toroplus". The fact that the program told you the device was supported and then crashed solidified my belief that some subtle difference between GNEX variants may have caused the problem. When I read your next post, I made the unwise decision to open my big fat mouf. Sorry.
I see that my thundering n00bness has shocked another member speechless after first introducing them to the divine - Don't worry, I'm going back to lurking now. I'll make every effort to avoid throwing rocks into the pond in the future.

For you linux users out there.

Nothing we didn't know but. I was so dissapointed I wrote samsung to tell them UNACCEPTABLE. As I'm sure you know . Samsungs mtp mass storage doesn't interface with linux. I was reading some fixes and I atleast got the drives to mount from the phone installing MTP libs but any transfer too or from results in error. So I just wanted to share samsungs response. Basically.... " Sorry pal . we doubt were ever going to fix this . Pound sand "
"Dear Joseph,
Thank you for your inquiry. We understand that you can't connect your Samsung phone in a computer running with Linux Operating System. We apologize for the inconvenience that this may have caused you.
Samsung doesn't have a configurable option to connect a Samsung Device to a Linux computer. The process for the mass storage settings is tested to work only with Microsoft Windows and Macintosh computer. We apologize for the inconvenience that this may present.
We are unable to speculate when/if a software revision with this feature might be available due to the fact that this might lead to inaccurate information and confusion.

Is there another way ? I been using Airdroid but that only does individual files no folders. Any ideas?
I use swiFTP on the device with Filezilla on the laptop. You can transfer whatever you want.

Found and installed filezilla but the swiFTP Isnt compatible with my note play says
Sorry, I can't even find it on the play store. I just restored it from a TB I had on my GNEX.
Try searching XDA for an official apk of swiFTP or try another ftp app on the play store. I saw a couple highly rated ones that are free.
there is a solution for mass storage its on http://www.webupd8.org/2012/12/how-to-mount-android-40-ubuntu-go-mtpfs.html have not tested it yet though.I am using airdroid and chromium since I need stable ac power while sharing the data connection.the issiue is because of Android, but samsung could have been done something I agree

TELL US MORE ABOUT YOUR PROBLEM! Provide sys info, logcats, ROM ver, kernel ver, etc!!!!!! (Sorry, this required excessive use of exclamation marks)
Tell us what you think may be the problem.
Use the correct forum! We no do Sprint shiz here!
Try using WiFi, if using 3G/4G. If using 3G/4G, try using WiFi. Tell us if it helped so we can bash our heads against other random things!
