USB detection on windows 8 - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hi I want to root my galaxy nexus Verizon but my phone only charges on windows 8. It makes the connetion noise on and off on my PC and it does the same on other pcs and ports. What can I do to get my windows 8 pick up phone. I installed all current Samsung drivers too.

Open device manager and check what does it show when your Nexus is connected.
Also try installing these drivers:

USB Speed

Every time I plug in my Galaxy Nexus to PC via USB, I get a message that pops up saying that my speed could be faster if I used USB 2.0 ports and it shows me which ports on my computer (3A3A, 3A3C, etc.).
Anybody know what this is and how I can repair? I've tried moving my cable to other ports on my comp (front, back, etc.) and continue to get this message. As far as I know, all of my USB ports are 2.0...

I am guessing you need to reinstall usb drivers for your pc, phone or both.

arbiter is probably right. if you have USB 2.0 ports, and unless your computer is like 10 years old, you do, then something really trashed your usb drivers.
your best bet is to search for windows 7 usb drivers, or go to a windows 7 forum and ask there if you can't find what your looking for on your own.
Any chance it's the USB drivers on my Galaxy Nexus? How would I fix/update those?

Not on your nexus. I meant drivers for your phone on windows. There are android and samsung drivers. But honestly i think you should goto device manager and see if there are any exclamation marks relating to usb interfaces. Also check the manufacturer of your pc, gigabyte and windows update and see if there are any updates to your motherboard, specifically your chipset and usb drivers.

How will I know that my speeds could be better? I can't see the transfer rate in the dialogue window when transferring via MTP.
I added a 4.5GB Movie file and it took 15 minutes. Does that sound about right? (I think that's around 5MB/sec)
I'm experiencing the same issue except it only occurs intermittently.

I would be happy with that.

Had this problem as well. Fixed it by installing the usb drivers from Samsung website. The default windows 7 composite device drivers apparently incorrectly report that error. I have only usb 2.0 ports on my computer and got the error - error went away when I installed the Samsung drivers.

In my case it's on Win 7 and I've got current drivers installed as I recently rooted the phone. I only get this message with the GNex. All my other USB devices work fine with all the 2.0 ports.

Reinstalling the Samsung drivers appears to have helped...

[Q] Heresy Alert: SGSIII connected to a MacBook

Hey Folks,
I'm likely to be switching from AT&T to Sprint and will be getting the Galaxy SIII. Has anyone had any problems connecting it to a Macbook? I'd like to be able to sync with DoubleTwist.
Thanks!

I've had trouble connecting mine. I end up using my work Windows PC for rooting etc.

Seems that there are no drivers for Mac SPH-L710 Samsung Support Page
Wonder why... *rollseyes* You can do as bluv4eva and use a windows pc, if you have one in your disposition.
try this link, might have some info on how to connect with mac.

The only way i connect my S3 to my Mac is via FTP apps (wirelessly) like Transmit, or i just use ES File Explorer to FTP files back and forth over my WiFi network, or use Kies.
Gave up on USB since it defaults to MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) which just doesn't work on Macs. Couldn't get it to do UMS (Universal Mass Storage). As for music, i prefer drag and drop (via FTP).
.....and what's the heresy?? Been using Palm OS and Windows Mobile devices with my Mac since time immemorial.
Well actually i have a macbook pro running mountain lion and i been able to connect it with no problem with android file transfer( an app that is free supplied by android i think) it shows instructions for it when you connect it to your computer on your phone

Tried Android File Transfer and nothing. To be fair I was on Lion then, not MLion, and just didn't bother after that.
I like my wireless methods so far.

Syncing with sd_card or usb mode shouldn't be a problem on any device that accepts USB storage devices.
the only difference between using windows and OS X will be the ability to use MTP because microsoft is the only one that supports that particular file transfer protocol.
doubletwist sync, last i checked, didn't use mtp mode regardless of the OS of the box its connected to.
There's also airdroid from the play store that connects with phone via wifi.

back on lion i was able to do it too. What i did was i changed the storage to camera mode on phone and the file transfer app works
Virtual Machine approach to rooting
If you have a mac, and a copy of windows, create a little virtual machine using Parallels Desktop. (Note: VMWare Fusion will not work.)
Once you have your virtual machine running, Install the S3 Snapdragon Toolkit and USB drivers, connect your phone using the USB cable. Make sure to associate the phone with the VM and not OS X when prompted.
On your phone, set the mode to PTP, not MTP. You'll hear the USB device connect sound and the phone will show up as camera device, but don't focus on that. Now, run the toolkit and you'll find at the main menu your phone listed as an attached device.
Many thanks to mskip for his toolkit development.

Parallels Desktop is a little pricey at $80, but it sounds super awesome. Thanks for this.

One of my nexus 7s doesnt show up on pc?

So, i have a nexus 7 FHD, its rooted with slim rom and it works great. My sister just got a nexus 7, and i rooted it for her with a toolkit, and updated to the latest OTA. The problem is, her tablet is now showing up as a MTP device on my pc, while my nexus 7 is. I know its not the wire because ive tried both my wire and hers with my nexus, and they both have my tablet show up. Furthermore, i see it as a device under the device manager, and my pc makes a sound when it plugs in, but i still cant do anything.
Does anybody know what to do?
Fix the driver that pops up when her tablet is plugged in, don't let windows search for the drive install it manually. A quick search will point you to the correct one. Also best not to use toolkits, if you did this manually my guess is you would have installed all the proper drivers but that's besides the point

have you activated "Media device (MTP)"?
you can find it under (Settings → Storage → USB computer connection)

will not show as a media device on windows 7

hi I wonder if anyone could help have connected my nexus 7 2013 to my windows 732 bit but when I check the media device box the nexus does not show on the computer, but if I tick the camera box it does show up on the computer any help please to get the tab to show on the comp as a media device as I would like to transfer things onto it, thanks for your help.
have the ryt drivers installed?!?
If you installed adb drivers you can't use MTP. With you device connected, go to device manager and uninstall the adb drivers.
Instead of constantly installing and uninstalling the driver, just use a ftp WiFi transfer app. See your files remotely.

Go to Settings>Storage
Touch the "Three dots icon" at the top right corner
Enable MTP transfer.
Finally go into development settings and disable USB debugging.
If you want to enable adb usage again just do the opposite(Enable debugging and disable mtp transfer)
