I have no option for usb data transfer. Just MTP and PTP. When trying to drag and drop I get "Calculating the time required to copy the files". It copies nothing.
Airdroid, wifi explorer, kies doesnt transfer a damn thing.
ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED!
Make sure that your drivers have been installed properly, first off (I think this is a big problem for a lot of ppl). And on the phone, in Settings > Storage > Menu > Computer Connection > "Media device (MTP)" is checked. (I also believe unchecking "USB Debugging" in Developer options can help, too).
If your drivers are set up, you should get a prompt (assuming you're on Windows 7) to "open folder and view files" and you'll get an Explorer window. Just drag/drop files on the device.
You can also use a WiFi FTP transfer app (I wanna say AirDroid is a popular one?). Some prefer it this way.
How can you tell if the drivers have been installed properly?
I can drag and drop one file at a time but nothing more

If you plug your phone in and don't get an error. And in device manager it should show up as "Galaxy Nexus" or "Samsung Galaxy Nexus".

Sounds like a possible issue with your setup. I just recently re-installed a fresh 32bit Windows 7 install on my MacBookPro, and without any driver tweaking or anything I was able to connect and drag/drop files back and forth.
I do have issues with my desktop and plan on wiping it.

MTP can be finnicky but there's no technical reason why it can't work just fine (as I said it works perfectly for me and others here).
Have you tried something like AirDroid (linked above)? Or if you're just sitting on WiFi you can always just upload to DropBox (Google Drive) and download on the phone/PC.
airdroid hasnt worked for me. I'm not positive but I think there are certain files that won't transfer via cloud.

Should be able to transfer anything. Don't see any restrictions to it.
Is your Kies properly Installed?
Hi,
If your Samsung Kies was properly installed (means took quite time for installing Driver for Samsung devices). Your phone should be detected once connected via USB cable. Some devices may have different situations. Exp. file transfer in SamsungGalaxyTab10.1 will not display exact time for file transfer Window. Once device connected via USB cable, and Your device's Name Pops Up in your window, means it's successful. Transfer shd not be problem.
Sometimes, Phone may not the cause, perhaps ur Pc/laptop might limited capability for Kies Support.
If your case is different, perhaps you can uninstalled and reinstalled it in control panel. Uninstalling Kies will not remove ur Phone's Driver data. Hope this Helps.
Sincerely,
whitefang
**** takes forever to transfer via usb. is this a known issue on the nexus or just me? I have never had a phone with issues in transfering data. I'll give a clous service a try again. I appreciate your help

It's a known "issue" that people have really funky PC setups and have issues installing drivers. It's not inherently a technological problem with MTP or the Galaxy Nexus. As I said before, it's just a bit more finnicky than USB Mass Storage (UMS), which is used on most other phones.
I'll keep referring to the fact that on a bare Windows 7 install, with no previously installed drivers, I was able to plug in my Galaxy Nexus, auto-install drivers, and xfer files back/forth without a hiccup... that'll give you an idea for where the problem lies

Like martonikaj said, you should be able to transfer everything wirelessly. It's probably your fastest bet.
I either do that, or use ADB. While it's not as fast, I find it to be more stable than MTP (but that could be just me).
I assume download files as a zip and then open them on the pc? I assume all I would have to transfer would be titanium backup since it contains all app and system data. I know some of my questions might seem silly but i want to make sure i dont loose any data.
I've tried downloading the samsung drivers on 3 different pc with 3 different operating systems and cant get the drivers to properly load. I'm a little upset with Samsung at the moment. I never had a problem wit HTC or Moto phones.
you can use Alt Mounter app on mac & windows
go to goole & search it
then download AltMounter.apk & install it to your phone
then download altmounter for windows & install it to your pc
after that run altmounter in your pc & also run altmounter in your phone
after that plug the usb cable . the phone storage shows up in a window
this is verys simple & i like it
you can use it if you have problems with MTP
I'll give it a shot, thanks!
Couldn't get my macbook pro to see the phone when usb connected with Android File Transfer. Had it set to Media Device(MTP). I then switched it to Camera (PTP) and then it opened the Android File Transfer window. Hope this helps someone.
I had same problem... I'm still learning here so I'll share what I learned.
If you install Kies it install then you can use Kies to sync w/ your phone.
If you want to root then easier if you had Windows.
I used my other Windows laptop to install CWM to root.
Depending on your provider go to their respective Development sites to do it.
They also have Samsung drivers and bunch of stuff... lots of reading.
Hope this helps.

I can confirm android file transfer for mac requires you to select PTP rather than MTP to your phone to show up in OSX. Also make sure you use the micro usb cord (or another high speed one) or you'll have problems when you try to move files back and forth. I had a cheap ebay wire that wouldn't work, but OEM samsung works great
Where was this post when I was trying to figure it out? Better late than Never <_>
Hi Guys,
A weird one here for you, I'm already contemplating throwing my phone at a wall that's how long I've been trying to fix it.
I have a LG G3 D855 Gold 32gb model purchased via Kogan in Australia.
The unit is now on Android 5.0 (no updates available for 5.1+) - Software Version V20i-SEA-XX with Build number LRX21R.A1440645925.
This phone is non-rooted with stock ROM etc.
So the issue at hand, I upgraded my Win7 PC via the upgrade option to Win10 to retain my games/files etc.
Now when connecting the phone to the PC it only goes to charging mode and I am unable to click on it within the drop-down to change it to anything else.
I have tried LG G3 drivers, Googles generic drivers, ADB suite drivers. I am unable to adb find the phone, I do not have an Acer Composite device in Device Manager.
Win 10 keeps saying the device is not recognised/malfunctioned.
Tried different cords, double checked the connector on the phone for any dust specs etc.
My PC refuses to work with any driver I have thrown at it, however in each scenario with various drivers, warnings still persist in Device Manager.
Some of the drivers force the phone to connect/reconnect and cause the "ping" sound each time it disconnects and reconnects (with malfunction warning prompts).
This is on Win10 with 64bit Home edition.
I am at my wits end and can't think of anything I haven't tried beyond a factory reset of my phone (hoping not to at this stage as I'm thinking it's driver-related).
It won't let me tether or anything via USB also, same goes with USB debugging, no change.
Lastly which may also help narrow it down, with the phone plugged in BEFORE it gets to the OS, I can change between PTP/MTP and USB charge, however once the Win10 OS loads up, it disconnects/malfunctions and lists Charge Only.
And yes, this phone can connect on my Win7 small PC which I use for testing crap out on.
Any ideas guys?
Let me know if any log files or anything is required.
At this stage I am unable to do a root to the phone (due to adb issues etc) nor can I connect to the internal phone system unless I use in the in-built file explorer.
Edit: *SOLVED*
Ok so turns out the issue is, and this is just my case, my motherboard has various utilities, one of which is a USB 3.0 boost option.
When I did an upgrade to Windows 10, it somehow screwed up various programs on my PC including registry etc.
I reinstalled the particular utility (I was actually trying to fix my graphics clock etc so happy coincidence) which also re-installs the USB 3.0 Boost software which in turn has fixed my USB Ports.
So if you have a custom built PC (my Motherboard being a Rampage 4 Formula). Check the Mobo Utilities/Drivers for any conflicts.
I have the exact same problem, and I can't seem to find a solution for months now. It's really annoying and depressing

Using the drivers on that page you have advised gives the following.
Device Manager shows a Warning on it in USB controllers as "LGE Mobile USB Composite Device". It automatically "malfunctions" according to Windows 10 and I can't change the connection interface on the phone.
Going into the properties on that device in Device Manager lists the following;
This device cannot start. (Code 10)
A device which does not exist was specified.

This didn't work. Already tried
Fixed my problem
I've had the same issue with my LG G3 in being unable to connect the device to my laptop. I'm not sure if the cause was a phone software update or the upgrade from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10. Either way, I searched and fixed it tonight by installing updated drivers. Hope this helps others as well.
Hmmm, I cannot post the link! technobuzz dot net lg g3 drivers

Anyone else experiencing this? I just got the latest Windows 10 update, the fairly large one, and all of a sudden now the phone won't connect to LG Bridge. It connects to the PC just fine and charges but it will have nothing to do with the app. I even revoked USB permissions, switched to PTP, reinstalled LG Bridge, etc... no help.
Anyone else seeing this or know how to fix it?
EDIT: Well, to make matters worse I tried the "install pc drivers" thing and now the G4 won't even enter MTP mode. It doesn't recognize the USB connection at all.
Second EDIT: Got it fixed. Purged all drivers from my computer and reinstalled them. All good. ignore this thread.
what you mean by purge all drivers? what drivers, where? I'm having the same issue with bridge and windoze 10
Windows 10 here also and cannot get LG Bridge to see my VS986 either - it tries to connect when I switch to MTP mode, but then gives up.
ADB and Verizon Software User Assistant both work fine ......... not sure how to debug this issue.
When I connect my Note10+ to my Windows 7 pc, I don't get ANY acknowledgement a device is connected. No beep, popup.. nothing. I did install the Samsung USB drivers, but that's not the issue because there is absolutely no unrecognized devices in the device manager. NO reaction from the PC. Are there any windows services that need to be enabled? Because I do have minimal services enabled.
I can connect a thumb drive thru the same 6ft cable which is kind of old. But not the phone. Could the cable still be bad or not new enough, or short enough? Tried the rear ports also. I don't have any other cables at the moment.
USB debugging is enabled and the phone is set to Transfer Files. Restarted the phone and PC.
Just no beep or popup or anything when I connect the phone. However the phone does charge. The phone is only a month old. Maybe a bad phone port? Is the Note10 USB-C port generally kind of stiff when you first connect the supplied power cable? I never tried to connect it to the PC before.
Thanks.
Try another cable/port.
See if it shows in disk management, hit rescan drives.
Try reloading the drivers manually or automatically depending which you tried first.
If you have SmartSwitch loaded on the PC you should already have the drivers.
Closely review what you disabled and their dependencies!!!
Check Event Viewer for errors.
I have a PC running on W7, my 10+ pops up effortlessly. It could be the C port PCB but don't jump to that conclusion yet. Try a flash stick in it.
Thanks. I have to borrow one. The thumb drive works with the cable, but not the phone. Strange. Connect a thumb drive to the phone??
Going thru my services now. I should get a beep or something.... then I worry about drivers if need be. I scanned for new hardware in device mgr and expanded all trees anyway... nothing. Scanned drives in Disk Mgt... nothing.
If I go to the Samsung desk at BestBuy, will they help free of charge?
Connected thumb drive to phone THRU THE SAME CABLE... Notification says USB Storage Connected, and I can browse through those files.
How do you unmount the thumb drive.. just disconnect the device? EDIT: I got it... "Unmount" in Notif shade.
So the phone port should be good then? Thx.
All I want to do is some ADB commands to disable Doze and remove bloat.

I just pull it, the SD card I unmount first.
I don't think it's a port issue.
Try disabling ie turn off Developer options.
The issue seems to be on the PC side.
Services can have a lot of dependencies with far reaching consequences if disabled.
If in doubt renable, reboot, try again.
Something should be logged in Event Viewer when you try to connect.
Could be a driver issue.
On the 10+ you should get a popup asking if you wish to connect if not the 10+ isn't seeing the PC.
Try another PC if possible.

Try enabling it again.
Hard a reboot (not factory reset!) on the 10+

Borrowed a cable from my neighbor.. It worked. But it's one thing after another.
Does ADB tools require Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 redist.
Keep getting error: "api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll is missing error" when I type adb devices
And to install Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 redist, I need to install Windows6.1-KB2999226-x64.msu and that will not install.
First time ever feeling the pain of still using Windows 7.

It's grayed out because of the Developer options think.
I'm using the "transfer files" option. I don't get those options, it just asks if I want to connect.
My 10+ is a stock AT&T variant running on Pie.
I haven't used ADB so not sure. If Event Viewer is showing it as missing... you probably need the library. Side by side errors used to be common on x64 machines, missing MS library.
Canon did that. The Developers already had it on their PCs and forgot to include it in the install bundle

W10 is a dud. W7 should work fine; it shouldn't need any of that to transfer files.
Android 11 may be the perp... I don't know, sorry.
SUCCESS! I used the 15 Seconds ADB Installer as describe here: https://www.droidthunder.com/adb-installer/ Worked like a charm.
The manual ADB platform tools did not work (api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll is missing error) probably because I didn't keepup with my win 7 pro system updates. Always hated MS updates because when you reboot, there's other issues you didn't have before or there was more unessessary BS running in the background..
I know windows 10 is a dud. That's why I'm STILL on 7. It's poorly designed and not a true desktop OS. Thanks for all of your help. Wasted a whole day on this.
