[q] Not compatible with windows 7?

I am currently running windows 7 ultimate 64 bit. Whenever I try to mount the phone via SD on my PC, either 1 of 3 things happens: It detects the SD temporarily, then says the entire card has 0 bytes available, and 0 b total. 2. It recognizes the device normally, 14.7 gb available or whatnot, but whenever I try to drop an item on the SD, it stays in the "discovering...moving..." state permanently. 3. It doesn't detect the SD card at all.
I know I'm not the only one with this issue seeing as how I called sprint and they said it's going rampant with calls about the same issue. I've also seen it on other boards such as:
http://forum.androidcentral.com/sprint-epic-4g/31918-not-recognizing-epic-4g-usb-drive.html
Has anyone here had these issues and been able to fix it?If so..howso? I'm at wits end and about to downgrade back to Windows Vista..::Shudder::

Sounds similar to the issues that were happening with the captivate. Unless there are some 64 bit drivers you may be out of luck for now. I would try installing kies as that's what worked for me. Aldo just make sure you have the correct settings for USB and the SD.card.

I'm running Win 7 64-bit (Ultimaite on one, Premium on another) and have had no issues at all with mounting the Epic in USB mode.
You did format the microSD in the Epic, right?
A friend of mind formatted the card in his PC and had trouble with the Epic reocgnizing it properly. He then reformatted it in the Epic and has had zero issues since.
The only device I've had where the miniSD card doesn't show up when the phone is in USB mode is the Xbox 360 (which was disappointing).

Any link to kies by chance? ;/ I'll try that..will also try disabling driver signatures when I get home.

Same here. I have pluged in to 7 64bit Ult. 7 32bit Ult. And biz. Also Vista and XP. No problems. I've pluged it in on more to because I use it today to take movies around. I seem to be The Red Box in my family. Worked nice. Loving it! ;-)

Windows 7 Ult 64-Bit here as well. I can occasionally get it mounted and transfer files, but half way through the transfer it just craps out on me and usually kills explorer.exe.
Messed with drivers and still nothing. Everything is set up right.

I think the problem is the phone doesn't like some USB ports. It's fine on my laptop, but on my desktop PC, the front USB ports give me glitchy behavior (including 'driver problems') when doing mass storage. Plugged into the back and it was fine. Running 7 64-bit here too.
It's been rock solid since I did that.

For some reason I couldn't mount my phone as a drive until I turned off USB debugging. Settings -> applications -> development (i believe)
I have windows 7 64bit and it works every single time now. I've transferred tons of stuff. I never even formatted my card.

Works fine for me! windows 7 64 bit, i did have to unplug and plug in to another usb to get it working.

Same for me...its like a musical chairs thing..

Mine has worked fine on Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit without any problems at all. No switching ports out or anything of that nature. Maybe I'm just one of the lucky ones?

it wouldn't work on my macbook pro or my win7 64 bit (professional) desktop's front USB ports. However when i tried the back ports it worked fine. Go figure.

New Windows drivers from Samsung
I suggest that Windows 7 users install the latest driver from Samsung. There is a new version dated Sept. 1.

It has been working fine for me since day one on my laptop and home pc. Both are running Win 7 Ult x64.
I would suggest updating your Samsung USB drivers if you're having an issue though.

There is new set of USB drivers dated Sept. 1, 2010 that works fine. I just downloaded the drivers and ran the installation program before I plugged in the Epic. When the Epic was plugged in, Win 7 64-bit installed the hardware and I had full access to the SD card. In addition, the USB plug was not on the back of the PC but was on the front of the computer case using a cable to a USB motherboard header.
As usual the problem comes down to having the right driver.

Anyone know another link? My Win7 ultimate 64-bit won't connect with my phone. But my win xp works fine.

[Q] Connecting Xoom to PC

Is anybody else have trouble connecting their Xoom to their PC? When I initially tried I get the following:
Motorola USB Composite Device Ready to Use
MTP Installing driver software (taking forever)
MZ600 Installing driver software (taking forever)
Last time it actually installed the Composite Device and MZ600, but not the MTP.
Then I turned on debugging, and it actually installed and showed a Motorola USB device under windows 7 devices, but as soon as I double clicked on it windows 7 froze up.
I'm running a fresh install of windows 7 with all updates. I've even recently completed the SP1 update. I've also never had any trouble with my Droid X. This is completely frustrating.

I run windows 7 64bit ultimate with sp1 and I plugged in and all is good with the world. Asked be to open up the 32gig folder and I put my books and music in the card. Works like a charm.

You might try toggling the USB debugging on the xoom on and off. I seem to recall doing that at some point last night.

Windows 7 64 Bit Enterprise USB Problems

I have tried just about everything to get my Xoom to work with my 64bit Windows 7 system, but the various steps do not work. What is even more odd is that I have a laptop with windows 7 64bit enterprise that works perfectly with the Xoom.
So here are the symptoms:
1) When I connect the Xoom without debugging on, it tries to install a driver, but fails with a message about MTP drive failure.
2) When I turn debugging on, it installs a driver and tells me that the Xoom installed, but then my computer goes wonky. I can't open "My Computer", it like Windows Explorer freezes up. As soon as I disconnect the Xoom, my desktop works correctly again and I can go into "My Computer".
A few times i've gotten into "My Computer" after the Xoom installed, but when I double click on the Xoom icon it just times out.
The only difference I can think of between this PC and my laptop is that in the past I've connected my Droid X to this PC, and used those drivers. I'm not sure if it is some sort of issue because of the X or what. I've installed, uninstalled, cleaned, restarted, etc... with the Motorola drivers.
Its driving me nuts. Has nobody else had this problem?

Did you try different USB ports on your computer? I was kind of experiencing the same thing. I'm also running Windows 7 Enterprise x64. My explorer window would freeze up when I tried to transfer data from my PC to the Xoom. While frozen, switching from/to normal/debugging mode would unfreeze things, until I tried copying again.
My problem was resolved when I connected my Xoom to another USB port on my PC, one that was integrated with the motherboard. Previously, I was plugging it into one of the front USB ports.
So my suggestion is to try a different USB port, preferably one that's on the back of your PC.

i ran into the same issue as well.
this was fixed by changing to a different usb cable, and inserting it into a different port.
if you're connecting it to the front of your computer USB connector, try connecting via back of your desktop computer.
this worked for me.

Like another poster has suggested, the usb ports on the front of the base unit or ports on a usb hub might not be powerful enough to run the Xoom. I've had the same thing with external hard drives.

I've successfully connected my xoom to 3 Win x64 Enterprise boxes.
If I had to guess, I'd say that your front USB ports are either failing or under powered. I assume that you've tried a USB port on the back?

[Q] Focus not recognized by windows 7 64bit

Has anyone been able to/or know how to the focus recognized by windows 7 64 bit, its not even showing up in my device manager.

I have no problems syncing wirelessly or w/ USB cable on my home laptop (Ultimate 64-bit) and my work laptop (Enterprise 64-bit).
Michael.

I didn't have any issues using it with Windows 7 64-bit either (Ultimate and Home Premium).

Sorry, I know it's no help, but I have a laptop and PC both running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit with no troubles, including wifi sync with the PC.

no problems here. Are you connecting directly to PC or to a USB hub. I had problems before with USB hub.

I think it might be my cable after looking more into it. Thanks

FWIW, I am using the USB cable that came with my Nokia N900 (also using the Nokia N900 charger).
Michael.

I am having the same problem.

Windows Phone 7 doesn't use Windows Mobile Device Manager. It uses Zune. You won't get a WP7 phone to show up in WMDM on any computer.

Zune will still have to communicate to the phone via device driver.
I just connected mine via USB cable and looked in Device Manager under Portable Devices and the SAMSUNG SGH-i917 is there.
Michael.

Did you try installing Zune manually? I believe that's what I did first.

I'm running 64 bit Windows 7

Do you have your phone set to be a tethered modem? I run win7 64-bit, and the samsung driver fails to install every time.. If you're just looking to see your phone, open up diag and hit *#7284# (if I remember correctly, turn it back to zune-sync and plug your phone in.. Zune will autostart and it'll recognize the phone.
Probably no dice on tethering with it though, unless samsung releases a new driver, or possibly a different installation method.

Focus and Win7 64
I had the same problem with my focus. The only thing that ultimately worked for me was to plug it into a different USB Port. It was recognized as a new device and I haven't had the problem since.

If you're talking about tethering, try this to install the drivers:

I've never had any problems just connecting to Zune in the normal sync mode.

Galaxy 10.1 not recognized by Windows XP

I just plugged my Galaxy 10.1 into my Window XP computer, and I initially got a message that new hardware is found, but the hardware wizard launches and says it can't find the appropriate drivers. When I go into My Computer, there is no drive icon for my tab (yes, I have the USB cable plugged in).
Can anybody tell me what to do so I can transfer some videos to my tab?
Thanks.

Install Samsung kies and try again,

Thanks. I installed Kies, and my tablet was recognized, although there is still no drive letter or icon in My Computer. I transferred a video into Kies, and I was able to play it in Kies, but for some reason I can't transfer the video to my Galaxy tab. This is very frustrating.

I'm now getting a message to "Reconnect the device in Samsung Kies (PC Studio) mode. Current connection mode not supported by Kies."
I must be dumb.

So, the Samsung galaxy 10.1 currently doesn't function correcty as mass storage device when connected to win xp, and Samsung acknowledges this when I supoke with their tech support. It does work properly when connected to Win 7 (and Vista according to Samsung tech support).
see original thread regarding this @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178458

It does not function as a USB Mass Storage class device EVER under ANY operating system. (If it supported USB Mass Storage, it wouldn't need drivers and it would work without any effort on XP. That is the definition of the USB Mass Storage class.)
It is an MTP device - unfortunately only Vista/7 support MTP.
There is a workaround - Droid Explorer at http://de.codeplex.com/ provides a nice user interface layered over ADB (USB Debugging mode). ADB is much more widely supported than MTP.

Wow, I thought I was going crazy. Thanks for the info! Luckily, I have Win 7 on my laptop.

I loaded the second file (USB) drivers from samsung support downloads for the 10.1,
then made sure the power is on on the tablet when connecting, it shows up as a drive on my WinXP machine.

Interesting. Could you please provide a link to driver download? I searched the Samsung site and could not find them. Thanks.

Getting frustrated
OK, so I plugged my Samsung into my Windows 7 laptop, and it tells me it won't work because I don't have the drivers. But I don't know where to find them. Can somebody help me out here? Thanks.

Update:
I am totally disgusted. I did a Windows update on my laptop while my Samsung 10.1 was plugged in, and was able to install some Samsung Composite USB drivers. But Windows will still not recognize my tablet. I know there's a solution to this, I just need somebody to point me in the right direction.

After spending much of the day researching this problem on many forums, the solution turned out to be a simple one. In fact, I can't believe nobody chimed in with the answer.
I'm going to post the fix here now for the benefit of others who might have this file-transfer problem. If your (Windows 7, Vista) computer won't recognize your Galaxy Tab, on the tab go into your Settings, Applications, Development, and uncheck USB debugging. It is as simple as that. Now when you plug in your tablet, your computer will immediately recognize it. Open up My Computer on your computer, and double-click on the tablet icon (mine is actually a phone icon). Drag and drop files into the window and wait for them to transfer (note: video files take a long time).
Have fun.
