[Q] Galaxy Nexus drivers windows 7

My Gnex refuses to install drivers. (windows 7) i tried on my brothers computer and it works fine but it will not work on mine. Anyone know where to find some drivers that will work. Im currently failing hard on samsungs site.

Can you explain what's happening when you try to install the drivers? Do they install correctly without any errors?

No they dont. I plug it in and it fails to install everytime ive tried with different cables and this is my second gnex having the exact same problem.

Because the problem is your computer/OS/you, not Galaxy Nexus.
Try GNex Toolkit to install drivers. If even that fails i would suggest to get your computer repaired or use brothers
PS don't forget to disconnect your phone before installing drivers.

Hmmm i thought it would be an easy driver download fix.

See the link i gave you, there's another two options that doesn't involve installing GNex Toolbox:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1379875

+1 to GNex Toolbox; worked like a charm for me!

i had a problem with the usb drivers too using toolkit but following the manual install instructions worked for me. i had to go into system->device manager on my pc and install from there using the manual install instructions provided with the toolkit(option 1 and then option 3 using the toolkit). good luck.

i had problems with using the toolkit as well, so i downloaded the pdanet drivers and installed and that worked

This worked for me too. PDAnet installed drivers properly. Tried everything else didn't work.

I know this is a dumb question but I gotta ask. Did you right click the installer and choose "Run as Administrator?" Sometimes that's all it needs (even when your login has administrative privileges, you're still not Administrator.)

try this plug your phone in and make sure usb debugging is checked on the phone(settings->developer options) then on your pc go to control panel->system->device manager. when your phone is plugged in you should see android 1.0 or galaxy and right click and select update driver. if you see nothing here then try plugging the usb in a different port on the back of your pc. Then select browse device for driver, after that choose option "let me pick from a list of drivers" there you should see google or samsung as a option and select it. if that worked you should be good to go.

Ok tried every USB port, still nothing and this is the error message i get when i try to install through the device manager.

you got this error after doing the manual install and choose from a list of drivers and found google in that list?
if so then uninstall all samsung drivers, pdanet and drivers. then reinstall the samsung usb driver first then try the manual install again. make sure you have the phone plugged in and usb debugging enabled when doing the manual install in device manager.

I have exactly the same problem. Root, pushing files, everything works, except MTP. Any suggestions?

Screenshot issues

Hello. Every time I try to capture a screenshot, I get a notification that says: "Unable to capture screenshot. USB storage may be in use."
I'm pretty sure that USB storage isn't in usethe (I only use MTP, even that isn't being used now). My ROM is ARHD v18.0.
Has anyone experienced this before? Did they find a solution?
I did install Screenshot Ultimate from the Play Store and grant it root, but it's uninstalled now. Could that have something to do with it? If so, would a dirty flash fix it?

Chromecast Screencast - Anyone had success?

Has anyone had success using the screencast feature on their chromecast with this phone? I tried installing the latest CyanogenMod nightly (cm-11-20150104-NIGHTLY-epicmtd) along with the gapps-small for CM 11 from http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Gapps#Downloads and the phone was able to find the chromecast and even begin connecting to it in order to start the screencast (the TV screen even changes to black to show that it is trying to connect), however Google Play Services immediately crashes on the phone afterwards and causes a disconnect. An error then appears on the TV saying something went wrong while connecting and to try again.
I just wanted to know whether anyone was successful in using this or if they know how to make it work. Any info is appreciated.

Same issue here
I'm having the same issue. I downloaded the Mirror Enabler v7, but the button to disable "Force Close" (which I think is referring to that crash on the Google Play Services) is dithered. It does say that the app has not been successfully tested with the Samsung Epic 4G, but I gave it a try. The app does throw an error message that mentions an audio_submix file is missing from my CM 11 mod so I am still holding out hope that if I can get a nightly with that in it that it will work. If you mod has it, then it could be worth a try.

Thanks for the link. Didn't know about this. Did you try the fix at the very bottom of the first post? It sounds like a fix to the problem you have.

I would suggest installing office LineageOS 15.1 (https://download.lineageos.org/dragon)
Along with the the opengapps package (https://github-production-release-a...esponse-content-type=application/octet-stream)
I noticed quite a big improvement in responsiveness my self and it felt smoother and better than stock 8.1.0 from google.

When in recovery mode where you see "no comand found" just press volume down and power in the same time and from there on you will see standard recovery, delete cache from there and reboot. Good luck

Hi,
had the problem with USB tethering lately as well, was unable to fix it but I installed app PDANet+ that someone on reddit recommended and it works, hope it helps (you need to have this app installed on both pc and phone)
