So I'm having a problem of windows not recognizing my GNEX. Its not showing up under My Computer with the test of my devices. I have the required drivers installed and I'm able to flash ROMs via ADB and whatnot, just not able to transfer stuff to it or from it. I don't have this problem with Windows 7. I'm able to plug my phone up and have the SD card folder automatically open. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Have already reinstalled htcsync. Computer recognizes HTC sync. When mounted as a disc drive the computer recognizes it as a drive, but when clicked it does not recognize the device or the SD card with information on it. was previously working with no problems. I have no clue on how to fix the problem. Is there any setting I could have changed by accident? My phone is rooted.

Had this problem a while back. Had to uninstall HTC sync, uninstalled all HTC and Android drivers, using a program called usbdeview. Unplugged phone from usb and Rebooted my pc. Reinstalled sync and everything worked fine. As a note I've also had problems with HTC supplied usb cables and my firewall from keeping my phone from transferring files.

Thanks for the reply! Did what you said, and it did not work. The computer recognizes the device, and says that it is ready. Before when i would plug it in, a window would pop up asking what action I wanted to take. I would open windows explorer to open the SD card and view my files. Now it does not pop up. When I go to my computer and click the drive for removable disk, it says please insert a disk into removable disk. This makes no sense. Anyone else have any advice?
Is your device rooted? I ask because a lot of us that are rooted used unrEVOked and had to load drivers before doing so and you might try just loading the drivers from their site. I can link you too it if need be, let me know.
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.

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.

I haven't used XP in years but you may need to install this.

Did you try setting phone to the PTP mode which is like a camera just to transfer files? You could rename a tar to jpg

Are you using the factory cable? I was using a cheap Micousb and it wouldnt work. Pulled out the original plugged it in and connected to Kies instantly.

It should automatically prompt you to view internal and external sd cards on your pc. Are you rooted?

i have this problem on XP sometimes too, even with the drivers installed.
Try changing it from MTP to PTP. Let the computer find it again, then switch it back to MTP. Works for me every time

hi chrisram... it doesnt prompt me for anything. i installed the snapdragon toolkit. i got xp and when i go into windows explorer, i see files on the phone, but not on the sd card. i tried also to install samsung driver 1.4.6.0 and i get a "MTP was not installed" error. and on the phone i get a pop up saying that i need windows media player 10 or higher, which i have installed.
and to answer your question, i am not rooted. DO I HAVE TO BE ROOTED TO VIEW FILES ON THE SD CARD ON MY PC VIA USB? please help because i'm on the verge on stomping on this galaxy s3. thanks,
You don't need root to view files in your phone. Did you put an SD card in there?

hi cristianram.. i get an error that says: "there was a problem installing this hardware.. MTP. An error occurred during installation of the device. A service installation section in this INF is invalid."
i'm really tired of this phone.. i really feel like breaking it or throwing it away now.
Or like I already said.. Just use airdroid.

i seriously dont want to use airdroid.. i need to move heavy files and i dont want to spend years by my PC waiting for my phone to finish transferring files over the air.. i want to be able to see my sd card via usb.
thanks for the encouragement.. i know i'll get a solution with your help..
Fair enough. What if you do install windows media player 11 and see what that does?
Sent from my SGH-T999
Um the sdcard can only write at about say max 80Mbps sustained. WLAN will be fast enough at 40.. what is USB2.0?
Anyways if you are putting lots of files, leave them on external, and don't have to worry about copying again. No good reason to have then on sdcard vs external.
You can just copy to ext then use any file mgr program to copy it using the phone.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I use N so it's 100mbps and fast enough to not notice any difference. I'm guessing your problem is that XP is old as F. A simple solution is to just plug the sd card into your computer. But as it was pointed out the sd card is slower than wifi so it really doesn't matter.
Oh and I'd just like to point out you could have moved the files 10000 times by now. With airdroid you can move around the house while files are transferring. So you can relax and still use the phone instead of being tethered to the computer. And if you have splashtop you'd never even have to touch your PC.
Put Linux on a flash drive and use that?
Hi guys, i need help.
I can't find a way to make my windows xp professional recognize my galaxy nexus.
I tried with toolkit, but it fail.
Tried manually with 2-3 packages i found on the web, but didn't work.
In control panel, hardware manager i just see an uknnown device called "android adb interface"..
I tried downloading some google drivers, some samsung drivers, but nothing worked for me..
Can someone link me to the right place where to find drivers?
Also, do i need to have usb debugging enabled? And mtp enabled? Or not?
Thanks in advance

You can do that by default. The phone uses MTP (Media Transfer Protocol), which is used exclusively(I think) by Windows. It should mount as an external drive automatically, unless you have PTP checked instead which will mount it as a digital camera.

Ye, indeed the problem is that it doesn't mount automatically, so i'm here asking for help.
You will never get the GNex to mount via USB Mass Storage mode. It will only transfer files via MTP or PTP, or via ADB.
Hey guys, I just switched over to an SIII from an atrix yesterday. I just didn't realize how much of a pain in the ass it would be to transfer anything. Right now I'm on OSX Mountain Lion, on my rMBP, and so far nothing has worked to get connected. I've tried android file transfer, connecting it as a PTP device, and numerous methods of trying to get Kies up and running, but nothing has worked. The file transfer doesn't detect anything and connecting as PTP doesn't seem to do anything at all. Kies and Easy Phone Sync both detect the phone as being connected, but don't connect to it. Easy Phone Sync shows a blank screen, and Kies says that it can't connect to the device, or that the device isn't responding. I have a bootcamp partition, but it's so small that I'd like to completely avoid using it if possible.
Also, here's some info on the SIII: It's a 16gb AT&T SIII. It's been rooted, and right now the Ariel Rom is installed, so I'm on ICS.
Thanks,
Krad
AFAIK Kies and android file transfer (both terrible pieces of software) don't work properly on Mountain Lion. Just go get you an 8GB or so sd card or install the Android SDK and use adb push/pull.

That's what I was thinking, but I just wanted to be sure. Thanks anyways.
I use the wifi file transfer app. It's easy to use.
