The issue is quite an unique one i may recall. Because, i googled all my way over time fetching if i could get any similar issue to solve my self up seemingly.
The story:
1) What's working:
I can make calls, save contacts, modify settings, add alarms, use internet for browsing, etc.
2) What's not working:
I cannot take pictures, install apps, auto sync of google account doesnt show up, cannot download anything, etc.
What is my phone loaded with: Its a note 2 indian version and has 16gb internal and 16gb sandisk external class 10 card.
The verge : The point here is, there is about 8gb of data in sandisk memory card and also 5gb already occupied by personal files in phone memory. But i come up being showed nothing, infact not even the apps i installed. The stock apps all are there but no other app shows up and stock apps have their memory values as 0.00B in there app info page when i open it. So weird problem. The 16gb memory card when taken out and installed in othersamsung phone works like a charm by also showing what the files are inside it. When i connected my note 2 to pc, i tried to get it recognised by kies but it says "unsupported device alert" so waste of using kies over it. Now another thing, this is very weird to myself as i never saw anything like this happen to anyphone of mine. As i connect this note 2 to my pc through samsung data cable, i see the phone's storage information way to constraint. I have attached a snapshot of the storage blocks window taken from my laptop screen. If anybody understand what this memory picture suggests. please let me know. Anythings else if required, feel free to mention, i will prepare update it here. I find this error first of it's kind for note 2.
If anybody got any idea on what this problem is, please guide me for which i would be truly thankful to you.
Not even one reply?
Please guys, somebody help (-_-)
Whenever I connect my Phone to my pc via supplied original Cable to transfer photos to my pc.... it takes loads of time to load. The thumbnails takes ages to load. (Both, Pics in Internal Memory OR on my Superfast Microsd)
BUT, if I use say Card reader everything is extremely fast and normal.
Same thing with my other Samsung phone. So want to ask why this happens and how it can dealt with?
Also, Your phones exhibit same problems ?
NOTE: Want to buy Samsung A80 tht doesn't have MicroSd and scared that while transferring to PC it will take hours to even load on screen.

Isn't the greatest solution, but if you take the photos on your phone and split them into smaller folders (like less than 200 photos) before you transfer them, they should go quicker. I have this issue when im transferring stuff in and out of folders that have a ton of files in then. It seems like it had to reload the folder information after every single picture transfers so it makes it super slow when transferring in bulk

I seem to remember one time when using my phone as a sd card reader, and copied it to the PC, it mbps of transfer speed went way down and even failed a few times, but I just attributed it to something wrong with the PC. When I have moved large files like roms, it seems to go pretty normal. Phones should support USB 3.0.
Well it seems all people are facing similar problems from ages !
I would not buy upcoming Samsung A80 then, coz I really don't want to deal with 5-15 minutes Load time whenever I wana move stuff from my Phone-to-PC.
Will switch to A70 as it has Microsd card slot and there it loads in few seconds for me always.
PS: As above poster, yes it fails to load and hangs too many times in my case. (Win 10 Pro)

Why would Samsung not put an sd card slot on the a80? Seriously, I thought they had learnt their lesson with the note 5.
Samsung have gone crazy hence they aint providing sd card slots on phones! on top of it, I am no longer buying A70 too coz its camera performance is worse than my current phone !
Maybe give the airdroid app a try.
You just need to install airdroid on your phone.
Start it up.
On the PC point your web browser to the address that airdroid shows you.
Press the allow button on your phone - this allows your PC access to your phone.
You can them upload/download content to/from your phone PC.
Of course your phone and PC need to be using the same network.

Nice will try it later on… BUT, this basic functionality of transfer at ease should be provided by manufacturer by default. its 2019 and still Lags/hangs/Slow just to transfer stuff ?
Dunno about other manufacturers coz never used anything but Samsung yet. So, how's the situation with other phones ?

Ah okay....
Same issue here. Transfer speed is okay, but loading thumbnails from the device takes forever.

Hello everyone,
So I have (had) a Galaxy S9. A lady friends dog bit it (no b.s), and broke the screen touch input. Gradually the entire screen turned black. So now I have an S9 with no possibility of seeing or touching the screen.
The worst part is the screen broke WHILE IN maximum power save mode. Which means the USB can't be used for anything other than charging.
Making matters even worse, I had a 64gb SD card in it which had very important pictures and other valuable items.
I can't use the sd card on another phone because it says it has to be used on the original device (unmounted).
Does anyone have any ideas of what to do with getting my phone reset, get the info off, get the SD card data off etc.? I was quoted $300 for the repair.
I also have numerous, and I mean numerous, website/app logins using Google Authenticator. I can't access the Authenticator codes without the S9, and I also have A LOT of cryptocurrency wallet addresses on the Authenticator, and of course the key to access the Authenticator is on the SD card ?*
Sorry but I never knew the SD card would be specific to a phone.. because if the phone breaks or is lost forever what do you do?
Buy a new screen
OK so I have a problem that I am not sure that can be fixed.
I gave my daughter a Samsung Tab 3 Lite. Keep in mind my daughter was like 4 years old when she got it. All she would use it was to watch her cartoons and to take pictures and videos. She for some reason changed her password with help of her older sister and then stopped using it for a couple months. She does not remember the password that she put on it so we cant unlock it and typing the incorrect pin gives us the try in 30 seconds message but it does not give me the option of logging in using my google account.
I have searched the internet to try to unlock it and the easiest and most popular option is a hard reset and that is where the problem is. She has tons of pictures and videos of our dog that we had for 12 years who recently had to be put down due to cancer. If I do a hard reset all those pictures and videos will be gone.
The question I have now for this community is if there is any way to either bypass the lock screen or transfer the pictures and videos to an Micro SD card or my computer?
The tablet has a stock ROM.
Thanks in advance for helping/trying to help.
Maybe flash TWRP or CWM with Odin and use file manager to copy media folder to SD card?
I have been having some trouble with transferring settings and data from myGalaxy S7 to this V+5g. The tmobile store said they'd do it for me, probably to get me to take the phone?
Then, they couldn't do it. They installed Samsung Switch and then discovered that they couldn't use it! So they tried transferring something via BT. Then they discovered that nothing would transfer, beyond one simple Google identity, which I could have set up by simply entering my ID and password. So they switched to plan B: Ignore me when I came in to the store to complain that I cant actually use this phone!
So they left me to complain by phone, where they could ignore me ad infinitum! For this reason, when I found out that I was locked into a 2 year contract with this phone I cant use, I put a complaint in to the FCC.
MEANWHILE I tried to install some programs individually. Firstly Doubletwist. Then I discovered some idiosyncrasies of this phone. I need to get 60GB of music onto this phone. But the music wont go onto the phone. Firstly, if I can get the phone seen by my MacBookPro (by enabling debugging, enabling File Transfer by USB and by starting doubletwist on the phone and computer), the music will transfer, excruciatingly slowly! And it does seem to go onto my 128GB SD card. But it does stop every two GB or so. Then, it simply wont restart. Nothing I can do will get the Revvl seen again by DT on the MBP.
Does anyone think that t his inability to get this phone to transfer data or files might be something actually wrong with the phone? I discovered that tmobile were thrilled to get rid of this phone (10 minutes before the Revvl VI 5G came out?) but I am not sure yet that a Revvl VI 5g would be any more compatible with my Samsung Galaxy S7 than this model V 5g? So I am wondering if this problem which I have had and which the Tmobile store also had is the same problem with the phone itself? Especially where the store were so insistent that they didnt want to help me. After which TMobile were careful to tell me that they couldn't take the phone back because I had got it from a store!
Since closed down!
Or has anyone else had these problems?
