So i was copying some flac music [overall it's more than 10GB] but the end result some files are not copied.
Even when i was trying to just copy one folder at a time, there will be files not being copied, and the copy process window just ended.
There was no error message on the PC [Windows 10], Just some sound but nothing was displayed.
Have been using two different cables [connected to USB 3.0 HUB] same results.
Help me, anyone experiencing this?
have you tried using adb push to copy your files to your phone? i connect my phone to a laptop running windows 10 and i use adb push and pull to copy files to and from my phone. i don't use the windows gui for this anymore. i've seen flaky behavior with using windows to manipulate files on android phones so i don't trust it anymore. it's not just with my pixel xl and windows 10 but also with other phones and earlier versions of windows.

I have tried with file manager and found the files i was looking for in android/data/something but when i connect my GN to my PC (win7 32bit) i only get a few folders and files,
I have tested with both USB modes and I only get the basic folders such as
Alarms, Android, DCIM, Downloads, Movies, Music, Notifications, Pictures, Podcasts, Ringtones.
and the file manager reports more folders present :/
also the files i'm trying to access are within the android folder (which is visible on PC) but in filemanager there are 10-20 folders found in android/data that are missing on PC. PC only shows 3 folders in android/data
It also appears to be possible for other users to access the exact same file at the exact same filepath, why can't I?
is there a feature on GN or ICS that makes it impossible to access some files from the PC or is this a bug/flaw?
in case you guys need to know what files i'm trying to access, it's the game files to GTAIII
I kind of have a similar problem.
When i connect my phone to a windows 7 computer it mounts okey and shows me the files. If I create a folder on the phone from windows explorer, unmounts the device, I can not see this folder on the phone via a file manager unless i reboot my phone. This also applies the other way around. If I create a folder on the phone from a file manager, then mount the phone to the computer, I can not see the folder until I reboot my phone.
Is there a fix for this? Is it a bug? How can i resolve this? It's very frustrating.
MTP/PTP doesn't offer all the features the full USB transfer mode has. Search will help you find the pros and cons of this.
Workaround: Use an app like WiFi File Explorer or Airdroid.
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.
I have the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, Verizon (if that matters). I have installed a couple of custom ROMs over the time I've had it, and I've now noticed that all of my older files are not accessible. I found these files, but they are located in other directories off of the root. When I connect to the phone, using Windows Explorer, I am taken to the directory /storage/emulated/0, and from here I can copy off files to my PC.
There are other files from prior installation that I would like to backup, that I cannot seem to access from Windows Explorer, and these files are in the following directories, /storage/sdcard0 and /storage/emulated/legacy.
I have tried using adb.exe and it cannot find my device. I have installed the USB drivers from Samsung, and that didn't work either. I have also done reboots of my computer and phone, and a combination of things, and none have worked. I have tried Android Commander, which doesn't see my device, but I assume it will not see it if adb.exe cannot see it either.
Can anyone offer any suggestions as to how I can get my files off of my phone, and copied over to my PC?
Thanks for any help in advance!
I am unlocked and rooted on my new OP3. I installed the oneplus drivers and have Vista on my laptop. I have USB debugging on and switched to File Transfer MTP mode after plugging in the phone cable.
I can view files on the phone in internal memory, delete files on the phone, and copy files from the phone to the PC using a windows explorer dual pane alternative, like xplorer2. But I cannot copy a file from the PC to the phone. The phone appears as a portable media player with the internal storage labeled as 'generic hierarchical'. I wonder if this has something to do with it. Maybe these dual pane explorers need to see the phone as NTFS format for this to work. Does anyone know: Is the phone supposed to appear as a portable media player in Windows? Or do I have a problem with having the wrong drivers?
The reason why it seems like the drivers are okay is that using the standard windows explorer, I can copy a file from the PC to the phone--just not with an explorer alternative.
I'm in such a habit of using a dual pane explorer, I'd like to try to fix this if possible. Has anyone else been able to copy files to the Oneplus 3 using a dual pane explorer? Does your phone appear as something other than a portable media player? Or do I need to resign myself to use the standard windows explorer?
I finally fixed it. Seems to be my network adapters were using google dns servers. So this fixed my issue: http://ecross.mvps.org/howto/enable-netbios-over-tcp-ip-with-windows.htm.
Trying to copy files from my old phone to this new Mi 11 via PC, and it's like the PC doesn't have write access to the phone despite it being in USB File Transfer mode. If I try to copy files or create new ones like a test.txt file, it won't actually write anything. It's happened from both a Windows 10 and an Arch Linux computer so it seems to be isolated to the phone. I've tried toggling the USB File Transfer mode off and on but it didn't have any effect.
Can anyone advise how to fix this?
Is "USB File Transfer" MTP?
Have you tried just using adb push file somewhere
Are you trying to copy to /sdcard or are you trying to write to /data/data to restore app data?
It ended up working for no apparent reason, I'm not sure what happened or what fixed it, but it seems to be working now /shrug
