Im using windows 8.1 , when i try to create or rename a folder on my Note 4's internal storage, the computer hangs and the screen refreshes with all my icons gone. i have to right click the desktop and sort by name/type/etc to bring it back on screen. any idea whats happening here? a fix? is it software or is it hardware or what?? do i need to return this phone?
file transfer is fine. only when i create a folder or rename it.. it hangs
edit: ok, i just tried to create a new folder now and it works fine, but it will hang when i rename it. I'm guessing it must be something with Windows 8.1 or some driver issue because I tried everything on a Macbook Pro and it works fine.......
thanks
I'm having this problem as well, win 8.1, Verizon gn4. Can create folders (sometimes) but never rename them. Very irritating... One more thing to hate about windows 8.1 :/

I have my Dash connected to Vista and I am trying to find out how I can delete\edit\copy a file in the Windows folder on my Dash. I must tell you that I am not able to see the Windows folder on my Dash through VISTA and I even have hidden files/folders option enabled.
I can see the Windows folder through the folder explorer that came with my Dash but I can not do anything to this file...
_BackgroundImage_Land
I have 2 goals for this issue.
First goal is to change the background for my calls.
Second is to move My Documents to my SD card but there is a file in their that is called Bubble located in the Templates folder that I can not do anything with either.
Can anyone please help me with this issue?
you can IM me @ [email protected]
Thanks

Yes I did try it on a XP machine and I am able to see Windows but I am still not able to do anything to the files I want to modify.
Hey Guys,
I also have the same problem but have got around it using Total Commander. Its a free program that you can install on your phone. The program allows you to edit delete and move any file in the windows folder. It has got me around this annoying issue in Vista.
cheers
Ran into the same thing in Vista, but when I turned off the 'hide system & hide hidden' options for folders in Vista, everything became visible on my Dash.
everything is now visible but i am not able to overwrite the _backgroundimage file....
If you've had this annoying problem, do the following:
Unplug your phone.
Reboot your machine.
Plug your phone back in.
Browse to the folder on your phone you would like to put you files in.
Switch Windows Explorer to "Details View" in the folder you just opened.
Then copy your files into the folder.
The lockup issue appears to be with Windows Explorer trying to build thumbnails as files are being copied to the phone. I spent hours messing around today with this and noticed the process stops as soon as explorer starts building thumbnails.
I've verified this fix to be working on 2 problematic phones with 2 separate Windows 7 x64 installs.
Hi everyone, I'm having a real problem when connecting my LTE GNexus to the computer. I wanted to copy the TitaniumBackup folder to my desktop then replace it with the one I copied over from my old Droid Incredible, but when I look at the TitaniumBackup folder on the internal storage of my Nexus, it shows as empty, containing zero files. This is impossible, as I've done a backup already and even checked with ES File Explorer that all of the backup files ARE in fact present within the folder. However, the folder appears as empty on my PC and when I copy it, only copies an empty folder.
Furthermore, I then deleted the ENTIRE TitaniumBackup folder via ES, and the computer then showed the folder was gone (so it it's not like it's not reacting to changes made). I then redid the backup, which recreated and populated a new TitaniumBackup folder, but when I plugged it back in to my PC, the new folder didn't even SHOW UP. So now I have an entire folder that for some reason is completely invisible to the PC.
I don't know if this an issue caused by the Nexus or ICS specifically, the MTP protocol it uses to connect (instead of USB mass storage), or maybe even Titanium Backup. All other folders appear to be visible and the files inside are present (to my knowledge). What in the world is going on?!
PS: Please don't just give me a workaround for the current situation like "just upload it to Dropbox". I need to know how to fix this bigger issue for future use. Though if someone could recommend to me a way to upload whole folders to the cloud somewhere (Dropbox, Gmail, anything that allows me to pull it down via a PC) that would obviously be appreciated, as every app seems to only want to upload individual files, even the new DB. THANK YOU!
Hi,
I just had the same issue with the TitaniumBackup folder not showing up in windows explorer after the first backup.
Restart of the phone helped!
Cheers
Simon
its MTP, this has been bugging me too, but for now i got a workaround (i know...)
get SDrescan, its free. it will force your phones media storage to rescan your files. once you do, you'll see your files appear in the explorer. rebooting your phone also triggers this
Thanks everyone! Man, MTP sucks...

SDRescan did not work for me. Sits there forever saying "preparing" (I did let it sit for 30 min).
So, is there any solution for that?
Missing many files/folders on MTP.
This is really ****ting me up the [email protected] wall. I've trie everything, even sdrescan does **** all. Why does this issue exist and why the **** has't it been fixed
Using wifi, I've worked around it by using some of the features in AirDroid (sets up a web server on your GNex and you can login via a web interface on your PC). File Expert can also talk to windows shares on the same wifi network, I've used this to move around some large files as well.
I'm also having this issue, I've already tried fix permissions in recovery, did a symlink (not sure if I did it correct though) and now I'm trying sdrescan.
I'm thinking of going back to cyanogenmod backing up my entire sdcard to pc flash jelly bean and put back every file...
Cause pictures I've taken with Jelly bean are showing up in the gallery and via usb, so i'm guessing copying everything back to it will do the trick.
Most annoying thing is I can flash a new rom whenever and where ever I want and be able to fix my issues, but this sdcard thing is way out of my league...
I find a solution here :

Hope it fixed the problem, I had exactly the same one
Easy workaround : in the app X-plore file manager, long-press on your TitaniumBackup folder, choose "Create Zip", then Ok (doesnt matter where you put the zip, you will cancel/delete it soon)
Voilà! My files appeared instantly in Windows as soon as X-Plore started creating the zip file. So, cancel that dialog, and enjoy your titanium backup files.

Restart phone as previously stated. Worked for me too. :good:
Reboot didn't worked for me.
I tried through ES File Explorer to copy the Titanium folder in my computer via LAN.When it started copying files, then the folder magically showed its content.Then transferred via MTP as it's a lot faster than 802.11g.
Hope someone finds it helpful.
I'm having an issue with the file transfer. I can see both internal memory and SD, but when i tried to drag and drop from Finder it is giving me an error, saying my screen is locked (even when it isn't) and asking me to reconnect. anyone else have this problem?
This was extremely annoying because I would try to transfer say an album and then it would get like 2 songs on there but not the rest saying my screen is locked please disconnect etc....i tried that but did not work.
please help as the only machines i have our macs.
thanks,
I don't understand. i am dragging the files from finder to the android app into a specific folder...
jedivulcan said:
I get the same error. Try double-clicking the folder you want to drag your files into (in Android File Manager) and drag your files from Finder into that rather than trying to drag files into a folder with the root directory showing.

How do you guys even get it to see your phone?
On my computer, it just sits there and freezes if I have the phone plugged in when I start the app. if it isnt plugged in, it tells me to plug the phone in and freezes. When i switched the phone to PTP, it doesnt detect it, though it does pop up in iphoto. Any suggestions? I have been shuttling files with a micro-sd card lol!

How do I do this when there already numerous files in that sub folder and if you do that it will drag I to one of the other album folders.... Do you know what I mean?

Android File Transfer has not been operational between Android and MAC os --at all-- since the Jelly Bean release.
Google knows it...Please add your two cents:
-- It's Issue #36970 @ Google's Android Open Handset Alliance Project
Squeaky wheel and all...
I'd post the link, but I'm a newbie here, and it won't let me.
Hello everyone. I plug my phone to my Windows 8 running computer, and whenever I try to rename a folder or a file, explorer seems to be stop working, then I plug off my phone eventually and explorer.exe restarts. I'm sick of this problem, isn't there anything we can do about this?

Might be a driver issue(?) Try installing kies :/
Oh, sorry to mention that. I already installed kies, and I'm sure that this is not a driver issue. In addition, I'm using Android Revolution HD 19 with Perseus. Switching kernels doesn't affect.
I have this problem too. If you want to rename from pc just enter the memory card on its own otherwise rename folder/file from phone.
