please help.maybe i miss some details since i am new
I've noticed that aswell... You Connect via USB as MASS STORAGE, but anything copied over to the SD Card wont show up unless you restart Android.... The Files are there is just that you would have to restart Android to See them... I simply just restart the Phone go into Windows Copy the Files over to the SD Card then Start Android.

Hey,
I was wondering if someone could help me out. I just got an HD2 today and am trying to transfer some cab files from my computer to the phone.
I hook up them up and when I open browse the memory card from my computer all the files don't show up.
Then when I put the cab files under my documents on the SD card and unplug the phone from computer..the files don't show up under the file manager..
What do I do?
Edit:
I also formatted the SD card...to no avail
When you connect your phone it should ask you active sync or disk drive. Click it to disk drive and that should let you get files on to your storage. Why did you have to format your sd card to begin with?!
using different file manager...still can not find it
When i connect the HD2 to the PC via USB debugging mode and tranfer the file to SD card. I can see the file in the sd card.
After deactivating the harddisk mode, i go back to HD2. Using different file manager I can not find the file which i transferred and saw in the sd card on my PC.
Only after restart back to WM and again into Android, the file can be found.
Can someone help to solve this problem?
I'm guessing some file corruption issue, as has been stated a couple of times. Remember that the USB host functionality is far from working perfectly, since you're running the OS from the same storage you're trying to save the file to. I'd say try a different build or wait for a Rom that can be flashed to nand...
Hey,
trying to copy files from my pc via usb to android. I am running MDJ Froyo Revolution 1.4.
Set the phone to mass storage, can copy files to the sdcard from WinXP or Win7, but after transfer, Android won't see the files I copied. Files are on the card, because when I look at the card directly via cardreader, files are there.
Any suggestions?

It's a known issue with file transfers to and from the SD Card via Android. Try and unmount your SD Card (via Settings -> SD and Storage -or something like that- -> Unmount SD card), pop it out, wait for about 5 seconds then pop it back in. If that doesn't work, rebooting will surely do the trick.
If what anrabi4 wrote doesn't work,try transfering the files in WinMo and then switch to android.
in this way worked for me and in unmount way didn't weird.
download an app call SDRescan from market.
Is there a way to prevent this? If I try to open any office documents from the external SD card on the S3, it will open it as a separate file in a temporary folder in windows. I am not able to save as back to the SD folder. It will say Read Only. I can not even write to the SD card if I have the file that is in the SD card open. I believe this is the way MTB works, but on my DroidX, I did not have this problem. Is there a solution to this?
I am unable to transfer files from my phone memory to my sd card.
I am also unable to transfer files from my pc to sd card in the phone. I have no issue transferring files from pc to phone memory.
I can view and open files on the sd card and the phone is able to play music and movies stored on the sd card.
Can anyone help me fix this issue?
Thanks!
I don't have such problem at all.
Try different file browsers like ES File Explorer and Astro.
If those do not work, try and factory reset your phone and ask for a replacement if the problem still persists after that.

Does the phone read the sd card? Do you have anything on it to access? If not I would suggest formatting the sd card.

The phone reads all the files on the sd card. I get an error that says Access denied when i copy a file from the phone memory to any folder on the SD card...however I get no error when I copy the files to the root SD card. It's weird...not sure whats going on.
You need to use the stock file manager to copy to the sd card or from the sd to internal as this is a "security feature" since Android lollipop. If you wish to use any other file explorer you MUST be rooted...

I use ES File Explorer and it works - and I won't root until ZTE posts full factory roms for the US version.
I still think there is some issue with the sd card that can be solved by formatting it - if the phone won't move files to it and the pc recognizes the phone but not the sd card how did you get files on it in the first place?

Not true. I just used Solid Explorer to copy files from internal memory to the SD card. There was an extra procedure of selecting the sd card in what looks like the stock storage selection menu thing (that also has Drive, Downloads etc) which was apparently necessary for Solid Explorer to get the necessary permission. Maybe it doesn't work with old file explorer apps that haven't implemented this solution, but it definitely works with Solid Explorer without root.
