[Q] Problem with the USB data transfer - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
Im using Windows 8, and my problem is, that I conect the N4 in USB port and when im trying to transfer files to the internal memory, the device stop responding and there is no way to fking pass the files!!! The same sh%%^t happends with my old galaxy nexus.
I changed my pc, so, shoul be the phone....
Anyone knows what I can do??!
Sorry for my bad english xD

Use Airdroid instead. Copy files from PC to phone over Wi-Fi.
EDIT: Is USB Debugging enabled? I used to have the odd issue with file copy over USB while I had it enabled. Disabling it worked for me (Galaxy Nexus).

[Q] How to Transfer files to the 10.1 via Windows 7

Hi All,
I've tried everything, including the usb drivers from the root guide and installing the Samsung Kies Mini program, but I can't get Windows to recognize the memory on the device. I want to transfer some movies on the Galaxy and have not been able to figure it out.
When I run the Kies software it says "plug in your usb" and when I plug in the Galaxy nothing happens...
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
It should work by just plugging in the usb/connector cable. You don't need Kies (doesnt support the 10.1 anyway right now)
When your pc does not recognize your tab, something is fishy about your pc/ usb.
USB connection should work:
(Autoplay should pop up
Select open device to connect (GT-P7510)
Click on phone
Select directory to copy file to)
Sounds like a PC problem. (Look in device manager and see if your USB controllers are ok)
Looked at Device Manager, no issues under USB.
Comes up as an Android phone...
forget the cable...
try 'Samba Fileshare' app free from the Market.
Connect to your 10.1 over WiFi and send files to it via the shared folder it creates.

Worked fine for me without installing anything.
On another note, the Kies software does seem to somewhat support the 10.1 as it installed the required adb drivers when I chose it from the menu.
im having problems too.... for now I am using dropbox.
I have a shared folder on my PC and use ES File Explorer over Wifi, it's simple and works a treat. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop&feature=search_result

I had to disable USB Debugging to get mine to pop up. Took me a while.
Oh thank God I am not the only one having this problem,,, i have tried every driver combo out there plus leaving USB debugging off and still i get nothing on my windows 7 machine. I have tried three different machines and all the same so it is not a computer issue i think it is a driver issue or a interface with the tab????
Interesting thing though is that I can push via ADB all day it that connects easy!!! WTF?????

MTP File Transfer Problems

Hey guys anyone encounter when transferring files to the N10 via mtp that it transfer, but after a couple of minutes it will hang and pop up an error saying it lost communication with the device? The computer recognizes the N10 in mtp but after trying to transfer a file it would hang and that error will show. I mean this is not a huge problem for me since I just transfer my stuff wirelessly now which is a lot better, but I just wanted to see if anyone else has this problem and if there is a fix or is it on my end.
MTP switch off

I only got my N10 today and while transferring music over from my laptop via mTP, I got the same problem you spoke of. I reconnected the cable, and copied the files over again without a hitch. Hope this isn't a persistent problem.

Yeah I got my Nexus about a week ago and noticed this problem. I wonder if it has to do with the adb drivers. My Nexus 4 though transfer files like a champ through MTP so idk whats wrong with the N10. But like I stated using the wifi transfer is actually better for me anyways.
3 things can cause the errors. 1. Not using the supplies USB cable 2. Not using Nexus 10 driver on the PC. (Or having multiple USB drivers for different devices) 3. Using a USB 3.0 port.
Fixes:
Use the provided USB cable.
Grab the Universal USB/ADB drivers which can be found in this forum.
Don't use USB 3.0 ports.
These issues are not Nexus 10 specific. As far as USB 3 ports go backwards compatibility is hit and miss.
The cable might not be functioning properly or the file downloaded is corrupted. Try to redl the file. Sometimes rebooting the device helps too

Hello.
When I connect my S4 to my pc with the USB cable. The folder is automatically opened with all my files, docuements, photo...
As a usb key...

On my old phone, I had an option to set by default only charge the phone when connected to the pc. And if i wanted to open the files of my sd card, I had to unlock the screen of my phone and choose "use as a device", and then my files was showed on my pc.
Now with the S4 anybody can take my phone and connect it on a computer and have access to all my files. I want to change that.
Help please.
Thank you.

First reboot your PC. If this not works, try another USB port. Seems that your PC is the problem.

Problem with Transferring files on my PC

Hi. I bought a Redmi Note 7 Global 32GB/3GB yesterday and I have problem with transferring files
When I connect my phone to my PC (win 10) via it's USB cable, a menu appears with 3 options on the phone:
*No data transfer
*File transfer
*Transfer photos (PTP)
No matter which one I choose, In all 3 situations a partition appears in "This PC" which is empty and there is no file or folder in it. When I commit to copy a file to it, this error shows up:
Cannot copy item
This device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected
I've no problem with my honor 3c (android 4.4) and other phones on my PC, Also they have MTP option which connects so fast and let me transfer all file and folders.
What should I do?
It's kind of weird because now the phone is recognized and working well via USB 3 but USB 2 still has the above-mentioned problem.
I also have an old pc which I have linux lite, Chalet OS, and lubuntu on it. surprisingly file transfer works on linux lite and chalet OS via USB 1.1 - 2.0.
Can anyone use file transfer on windows via USB 2 port?
Hey man, I just bought the same phone today, 32/3gb and global, when I tried to connect it the first time that happened and I got scared.
I researched a bit and did a few things, deleted the drivers and the device in windows 10 device manager, reinstalled them and factory resetted my phone, and now is working well. I think the factory reset did the trick.
I hope this helps you. Cheers.

Hey. Thanks for sharing your solution. So you've experienced the same problem. Did you test USB 3 before uninstalling drivers and resetting your phone?
Are you able to see your phone's content and transfer via USB 2?

Hello, sorry for the late response, I hope you found a solution early, but if not, I used both USB 2.0 and 3.0 (I think that's what you're referring to) and it did not work, after the reset and unistallation of drivers, both of them worked. I also have to say that I was using the cable issued in the box where the phone came, I'm still using it without trouble.
