Strange issue when connected to PC - Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently have this issue when I connect the N5X to a pc using MTP: not all the files/folders are shown...
Anyone, please?

Updated: it seems that I can access all the files if the phone is in recovery... This thing is driving me nuts, plese help me!

My phone did this too.
I uninstalled every single Google, nexus, lg and android driver and then plugged it back in so it downloaded them automatically, worked ok after that.

Actually thinking back... It didn't work for me so I had to finally had to resort to doing a factory reset on my phone and it worked.

I did it! I copied the folder with the issue to PC when in recovery, I deleted the folder, then copied back and now it works!

It happened to me both with the 5X and other Android devices too. I would transfer files via Wi-Fi as a workaround if it happens. After all these years, they can't really make MTP stable.

The current version is not compatible, we're waiting on Samsung to update it.

Works on mine too, but i have 64bit windows 7. Not a huge fan of Kies tho.

I'm on Win7 64-bit and latest kies, says can't identify device or something like that.
Dont have an SGS2 yet, but i know my tab wont connect to kies unless I'm using stock launcher. If I'm using adw/launcherpro, it wont connect to kies at all. Thought I would mention this, just in case.
Kies not working surprise surprise.
Glad everything else is working brilliantly.

Ok, I uninstalled KIES and reinstalled the latest version found on here: http://www.softpedia.com/get/Internet/Telephony-SMS-GSM/Kies.shtml
Now I connect just fine.
I cant even connect my device to my Vista pc in debugging mode.... My pc shows the two drives but I cant open them just says insert disk when I click on either????

Have you tried Kies Air?
Supposedly it works better with the phone and much easier.
It uses any web browsers to upload or down info into and out of your phone. Pretty awesome stuff.
I deleted twlauncher.apk as I don't intend to use it. Kies worked fine before and won't connect now. But Kies air works great.
Could someone post the twlauncher.apk for me so I can put it back for now.
Thanks

Yep, Kies Air works great as does Double Twist - but sometimes its better to connect via USB

i think ill only use if there ever a update for phone as seems to be a dodgy program lol
I cant get it to work either. even with the version posted in the thread here i cant get past "connecting"
Is it possible to update firmware with Kies air? I tried it but it just seemed to be for transferring music/photos.
Honestly, Kies has never worked for me. Not on my Cappy nor my SGS and truthfully it doesn't really matter. There are so many other ways to do backups and transfers that work much better. Also if you are worried about updates, someone will have it posted within the hour.
Also the "keep connection" problem here.
It just gets no connection. Yesterday and before yesterday it was working (even with root) but now it's not working anymore...
Don't know why..

Horn issues with root?

Purchased Horn and every time I boot it up, it says unable to obtain license. Anyone else rooted having this issue?

Nope, no problems for me. Sucks that you're having problems as it's a pretty awesome game. You tried reinstalling and/or restarting the N7?

Just wanted to let you know its not just your nexus 7

the Horn thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1863322
In there I posted; if u have problem with license, just launch the game from within the Play store once or twice, then you can try again with the shortcut. If you install and then goes straight to shortcut, it doesn't work most of the times.
Not sure if that's how the game registered, but that fixed it for me.
Do you have multiple gmail accounts on your device? If yes, make sure you're logged into the account that you bought it with. Should clear things up for you.

[Q] Not able to connect to computer at all?

Hey everyone, I'm having a problem where I cannot connect to my computer at all. I have tried installing all the drivers and I even reset my phone back to stock. Nothing is working. I cannot even connect to Odin. Can anybody help? Currently running stock touchwiz on Telus i747. Cannot connect to windows 7 or Mac.
Things I have tried:
Resetting phone to full stock
Reinstalling drivers
Reinstalling Kies
Trying different roms
Trying different cables
Trying different computers
I will connect the phone to the computer and nothing will show up at all. The computer just isn't recognizing it, yet it charges.

Not right now. I reset the whole thing to see if that would work and I still can't connect. Should I root it again?
Sent from my SGH-I747M using Tapatalk 2
It has nothing to do with rooting.
If your on stock, have you tried installing Kies?
Edit your original post to what steps you have done as your problem is too vague.

Try to uninstall the drivers you already have.(im pretty sure the prograam is like samsung mobile something). then dowlload samsung kies and it should install the drivers for you! then if you still are running in to problems you should click troubleshoot with Kies and it should work fine because its gonna reinstall the drivers again...
just wondering when u insert ur phone does it make a sound to ur computer does it say anything is connected ?

Have you tried accessing your phone through the AirDroid app? It allows you to upload and manage your files from your Web browser. It's not a fix to your problem but it could help in the immediate future.

Happens every time I root. It's a driver issue. Here's how I resolved it

I played w/ drivers. The method that worked for me was trying out a different ROM.... sadly.

Handset not showing in Android Device Manager.

So today I've discovered my phone isn't showing up in the ADM - and I am betting that this is also linked to it now showing up in the Android Beta interface also.
Is there any way to remedy this?
My searching hasn't turned up anything that has worked (clearing the play store data etc).

This issue has been around for over a year and Google hasn't done sh!t to fix it. I honestly don't think they will ever do anything about it.

The workaround is to create a new, second account on the phone.

You create the second account on the phone and use ADM with the second account. You may need to remove your main account first. Then re-add it once you have added the second one.
