Every time I connect the LG-E980 to my Windows 7 PC, it starts to install, then lets me open up the internal storage but when I click on the DCIM folder, it starts all over again. I need to download some of my pix and can't get to them. I recently upgraded to a 64GB internal card. I have it on Media Sync (MTP) but it won't let me get into the memory.
I uploaded a couple of them to dropbox and then downloaded them to the PC. Must be an easier way though.
Suggestions?

If nothing else you can email them to yourself. I used to have to do that back before I had a smartphone.
Have you tried downloading and installing the LG drivers for your OGP?
If your computer has bluetooth that would be faster.
Drivers were installed, no Bluetooth.

I dropped my phone the other day and my gallery and all the other apps that require my sd card say no SD card detected. I've tried two different cards and am convinced it is broken or not functional. Has anyone had this problem? If so, any fix for it?
Update: I booted up in to clockwork and it read it there.

Do you have a PC access to a SD Card Reader?
You could copy all the files off; format it (fat32) and then put the files back on and put it back in the phone.
I've already tried a different card and it didn't work either

If it reads it in clockwork I would try Odin to full stock and see if it works there. Best method for finding out if it hardware or software.

I guess I'll have to. What build do you suggest?

SD Card loses detection
My Samsung Epic 4G's SD card loses connection at random times. In the middle of recording a video, or when idle, and it will not restore full function until I restart the phone.
When it fails, I cannot take pictures or video, or view my gallery. It says no SD card detected. When viewing the "My Files" folder or storage space meter, it still shows the card's folder directories, the files in them, how much free space is available, and I can open and view individual files and photos from there, but I cannot delete or modify them until I restart the phone.
It could not be connected by USB to the computer through the phone. It made connect and disconnect sounds rapidly and repeatedly.
The card works fine and transfers files to the computer with the MicroSD card adapter.
Disconnect problem persists after I removed all videos and photos to free 95% of the 16gb card's space.
Should I reformat?

It's an easy 5 GB. Just upload pictures and videos from your camera/phone. You must automatically upload the pictures/videos. Manually uploading does not work.

Thanks for the heads up. However, I got 50GB in Box.net accounts, so don't need this.

Have you placed all the pictures inside the DCIM folder? Also are you sure you are on the beta application? Also when you plug in the phone, do you click automatic upload with the dropbox logo next to it?

maybe you have autoplay disabled on your pc? the dropbox auto upload option will be in the autoplay list

What method does everyone use to transfer files to and from their PC?
dropbox
Airdroid
I have a question that fits here;
Is there any way to make the s3'S onboard and external SD Read and appear in windows as a flash drive (ftp i think?) Instead of a "media device"?
USB transfer. My computer shows both main and external card.
But now that I have dropbox, it has been my primary means for transfer.
Lol I used to carry a thumb drive everywhere.

I've got a Sprint Galaxy SIII, SPH-L710 16GB, no SD Card. When I connect the device to my computer (WinXP, latest Samsung Drivers Installed) I'm able to see files I have downloaded to the storage via the device itself, as well as an .apk that I moved over from my computer, but I'm not able to see the various folders (DCIM, Foursquare, Music, Goomanager, Etc...) Is there something I'm missing here? Phone is running CM10.1 JellyBro.
**In the attached screenshot you can see the various files and folders, when I try to access the storage on my desktop, all I can see are the GAPPS.zip file, and the WhatsApp.apk
I know when I connect mine (vistax64) it pulls it up as a media device should be able to see it under my computer. If not I would look under your media player settings. Or you may wanna check to see if USB debugging is checked on your phone

Thanks. I actually tried that. USB debugging changed nothing. When I threw an SD Card in though, it suddenly was able to see SOME of my folders... I'm gonna do a clean wipe and start fresh, using the CM10.1 Official Nightly. I really need to get this remedied. I'll circle back once I have some results.
Should be studying for my MA Life Insurance license, and not buggering with my phone... oh well.
Try a different USB port on the computer

Thanks. Unfortunately, that didn't work for me. I'm trying to make sense of the file system on this device, Emulated, Vs SDcard and ExtSDcard...
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

Gonna have to look into a solution cause this is bullsh!t that I'm going to have to take my microsd card out every time I need to access all my files.

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.

This seems to be a common issue with Samsung devices. I had the exact same issue and it drove me crazy.
