Strange bug - Galaxy Tab 2 General

When transfering movies on a tablet I have one message asking me if I want to move this file to your tablet because you may not be able to run, I click yes for all, and avi. files are transferred sucesfully.But mp4 files remain on the message that I can not see, so you can not click "yes for all" and continue transfer.I hav notice that transfer of mp4. Files get stuck onthat spot when I shot down the computer, then the message appears and I see that there is stuck, but I can not do anything, I do not know how to solve this problem, I've tried reinstalling drivers.Help please.Basicly problem is in the mp4.files.sometimes i can transfer mp4 files,but rarely,when i transfer them on tablet movies work great.no problem with playing mp4 files only transfering,I thing That bug is in the windows7,whay i can not see the same massage on the mp4 file like on the avi files.and everything alse transfers smood,only mp4.

no reply,ok.I am not mad,all tipe of files transfer succesfuly,only mp4 have some bug.IT is not error message it is bug,I am not able to su the first massage that windows asks me,so i can not continute transfer.

Could it be a DRM(digital rights management) issue? Maybe something is getting picked up in your .mp4's that isn't there in .avi's and the like. Just a thought... Can you use a memory card reader to put them on a card to transfer to your tab?

what program are you using in windows to transfer videos? A file manager would not care what type the file is and mp4 plays fine on the tablet. So you must provide us more details.

I've had issues with mp4's as well, generally I have found that my issues come from where I obtain the files. I use ROM Toolbox as a file browser now and now have less issues, before I used Androzip and it was a nightmare. I have found that I do have better luck by copying the files rather than just moving.

I used other devices to transfer files,card reader,mobile phones,transfer is normal,only on tablet i have that bug with mp4.files,I used explorer for transfer,very simple,just use the mouse and move them on.All other files avi.txt,jpg,mp3 etc. transfer succesfuly.Mp4 file is stuck at the begining of the transfer,i can not see the first message before i start transfer(messege is normal worning about converting file becouse you may not be able to play it on device,i ignore this and click "yes for all"),on other files i see that message and just follow the step.Problem is this i think,tablet the not have mass storage.on other devices i have mass storage,and just transfer,IT is some strange bug,Is there a way to make this tablet as mass storage,i downladed from google play program for this,but it did not work(working on some other devices),if i would be able to make mass storage from may tablet i am shure that i will be able to transfer files normaly.With Kies i succesfuly download mp4. files,but i have problem with kies,sometime it's working sometime not.

It seems to be a error with kies. Try the troubleshooting in kies. it re installs the drivers. try to do that and then copy your files.
or
If you want to use the USB Mass Storage than you can use this kernel that replaces your camera mode with Mass Storage[It says camera mode but works like the UMS]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886481

you might have a corrupt or damaged SD card,. Are you trying to store ont he ex SD on the tablet? I have never seen any issue sending mp4 to the tablet. It may be happening because mp4 or any video file is so much larger than mp3 or jpg.
What ROM are you running? I use rooted stock and never have an issue.

I had this same issue, I come to find out it was the SD card, so I re-formatted it and now no issues, I am on stock, but de bloated.

MTP Application Crashing

Where would I start to troubleshoot an issue with the MTP Application?
If I select the Media Player or Kies options, the MTP Application continually crashes and restarts every second.
I have connected the device in USB Debugging mode, then reconnected again and it still does it.
I've done the driver installation in the kies application and I've reset both the PC and the phone, behaviour is consistent. Kind of frustrating as I can't upload media (DRM....).
IF anyone has advice on where I could start troubleshooting this issue I would greatly appreciate it

Here is a fix my friend but say goodbye to your saved games and files..
[try transferring or backup your files using wifi or bluetooth in case you have important files on your phone]
[and also, try to backup your phone contacts to your sim because formatting will wipe your entire phone's data]
Once that is done, try to do the following.. go to Settings -> SD card and Phone Storage -> Unmount SD -> Format SD
Once you have formatted the SD card, go to Settings -> Privacy and then choose "Factory Data Reset".
Your phone should now be detected once you connect it to your computer this time around.
Hope this helps.
I've done this once before. I spent a significant amount of time getting the right data under my contacts and linking them properly, I need to know how to find out why kies is borked. Otherwise I'll wipe the phone and possibly be stuck in the same situation again.
Have you had this issue occur and this fixed it though?
I had similar problem. Tried everything you mentioned and nothing helped.
In the end I formated externas SD card. Flashed SG1 firmware and rooted the device (all done in a matter of 30 min).
It fixed the MTP aplication crashes (dont know what of three really did it).
I'd been having the same problem on my Galaxy S.
It had been working fine, and I've done nothing to the phone to change anything with it.
Just opened the MTP App on the phone, then just crash, restart, crash etc and kept looping like that.
(Mines the Optus AU version too - might be a problem with something on there?)
Anyways I used the WebSharing app to download all my files to a zip on my computer, then unmounted and formatted the internal SD card - and then rebooted the phone.
Once it rebooted, moved the zip files (unzipped) back onto the internal SD as they were originally and plugged into the USB and it all worked again.
Hello everyone, I'm new here and own a Galaxy S now for two weeks. Yesterday I to noticed/encountered the rebooting mtp application when plugging in the cable while the USB settings are set to 'connect to Kies'.
To be short I tried all offered solutions found on this topic on the web and in the end only the unmounting and formatting of the INTERNAL sd has helpt.
I made a backup via Websharing since selecting the 'mass storage' option didn't work for me yesterday. Obviously this is a slow way to make a backup. Try to only back-up what you deem to be imported files.
So the unmounting - formatting and rebooting (mounting) of the INTERNAL cards is the quickest solution and will safe you hours of work!
HOWEVER
Today I had the same rebooting MTP issue again. But since re-installing kies version 1.5.1.10083 I'm able to connect to the pc via 'Mass Storage'
You will see drive F: and drive G: if you at least succeed in connecting via the mass storage option.
I than did 2 things:
1.
I recently made some pictures and also copied some pictures from my pc to the G: drive ( INTERNAL SD) I renamed the pictures to short names so they didn't exceed 16 characters (one of the solutions I read online ).
2.
In the map data I found folders with the names of in my case Touiteur and Beautiful Widgets. Both folders contain a CACHE folder. I deleted the complete touiteur folder and thus also its CACHE folder.
Now I connected my Galaxy S to the usb cable again and behold, the rebooting of the MTP has stopped!
Now I'm not technical at all and have struggled with this issue the whole of yesterday ending up formatting my internal SD. And to be honest I don't know for sure what the working solution is in the end but can narrow it down to 2 things you may try if you can connect via the 'mass storage' option:
1. try giving pictures in G:\DCIM\folder name a short name if they are long or try to remove the pictures completely (make backup) just to see if either of this works.
2. Delete the CACHE folders in the APP folder under G:\data and see if this works
Again, I'm unsure what or why I solved it on my Galaxy S but give it a try if you have tried everthing else and do not want to format your INTERNAL SD
I've got a fix
Alright guys, I posted a video on how to repair the MTP application problem, especially for you spencee, check it out. Go to youtube and copy paste: MTP Application Crash Fix. And click the first one. It's by abrar447. Hope this helps!
Ok, I'm having this issue again! I watched the video by Abrar447 and deleted every single file in cash I could find ( actually did a search on the word 'cache' on the internal drive. Although I know this should now work my TMP application keeps rebooting. Am I missing something here ?

Thanks again for posting this video. It actually worked for me, been trying to find the solution to that MTP crashing problem when trying to connect in Kies mode.
narrowed it down
I have this problem too. I saw the youtube vid and decided i'd delete one cache folder a time to see what was causing the problem. Found out that is was 'Sound Hound'. So i deleted the cache folder, MTP worked, then i used the app so it would create another cache folder, MTP clashed. Did it many times.
Hope this helps.

Really weird problem , after clearing the cache it works again.
I reccomend using CacheMate for Root Users (free or pro) which you can find in the market , you dont need to delete all the cache manually then
Hi..
Anyone know the exact name for the MTP Application..is there a way to replace the problematic version with a working version..On my ship with ROM. i9000dxjf4..MTP application showed steadily without keep crashing..

MtpApplication.odex.
If anyone has the working version (no crashing on Kies connection). can post here..I would like to experiment to overwrite it with a working version..

Hello,
I also had a lot of issue's with Kies. I also tried a lot. But the one thing that helped was removing SOUND HOUND (application and directory)
Hope this helpes for some people!

I emptied the cache under the Android folder and it started working again. The thing is, as soon as I open the gallery, the cache is written again. I'll try to see if the new update fixed the issue.
The problem is the not cache in itself. The bug is the '16 character extension' problem. Google it if you like. The solution is to delete all the files having its last extension greater then 16 char, in your internal or external SD card.
I asked about the fix on twitter, the reply was this.
I found a small program which tell you which files are the problem.

Hello everybody,
i'm a bit new to Galaxy I9000 but i had the same issue with Kies and MTP apps. Actually i found out that the issue seems to be linked to file extension longer than 16 chars. Usually those files are inside cache directories so, you should just cancel them to fix it. I've got kies running correctly since then (last update of Kies running n Windows 7 64 bit). I know there is also a little app to scan files to search the 16 digits extension called "FileSearcherforKiesFix.rar" you can find it and download just putting it in google.
Hope this can help!
Regards
Mic
APK version?

Have tried everything and nothing seemed to work...
The "FileSearcherforKiesFix" finds some problematic files, but not all off them. Manually deleting long file names and cache folders seems to be insufficient either.. I think that there must be some cache files in other partitions that we cannot access via "Mass Storage" that are causing problems too. So we have to clear those files...
But thanks to a comment in this topic I have found a working solution:
1º Delete any problematic file with the "FileSearcherforKiesFix" method.
2º Use this app: http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.aac.cachemate.demo , with the option "PowerClear" turned on, and clear all cache from the phone.
After this the MTP thing installed instantly and now everything works.
NOTE: The "PowerClear" option may cause some undesired effects in some apps.. Backup first, or, use at your own risk.
For me the problem started when I copied lots of MP3 to my phone.
I solve this like this:
I connected my phone using the media mode.
Searched for all *.mp3 files
renamed them all to *.! (whatever extension)
(I use a program called FAR Manager, which is something similar to the old Norton commander, but for windows)
Connected with Kies and it got recognised
Hope it helps others

[Q] USB unplugging

One more question to you guys - when I connect a USB flash stick to my Iconia, it flashes its LED a lot. I copy what I need using Astro or whatever and want to remove it. However, I noticed that if I remove the stick while its LED is still flashing (= it's still in use), the tablet will not wake up on the first power-button press after it goes to sleep for the first time after this unplugging and that it won't recognize the USB stick anymore before I restart the tablet. The only way around this, I found, is to wait for the ~2sec window of LED not flashing to remove the stick. Anyone else had this issue? And if so, how do you get around it? Is there a way to unmount the flash drive easily? Perhaps a widget or so?
Thanks y'all
I noticed the same thing when using an USB. I just wait until it stops rapid flashing before removing.

I just noticed this major issue yesterday. If i leave my USB flash drive in the device and go on hibernation mode, the next time I wake it up the USB flash drive will keep flashing as if it is reading the drive. As it turns out, it is actually deleting files. I've run several tests to confirm this. Has anyone else had this issue? It's impossible to get a hold of Acer tech support.

I have been having a similar problem with my A500 seemingly deleting files. I have been using File Manager HD to transfer files between my external SD, internal SD, and my USB flash drive. I began noticing files disappearing during transfers to or from the USB drive, or ending up empty sometimes when they would paste into a new location.
I had an occurrence recently moving an MKV file from internal storage over to the USB. In the middle of the transfer the File Manager HD screen went blank, then showed my USB drive as empty. I exited out of that and came back, it showed all the files back in the USB, except the new video file was showing 0kb in size. It had lost the entire file during the transfer, and it was no longer in the original location internally. This leads me to believe it may not be an issue with the USB, but with File Manager HD. (So far I have lost 3 complete seasons of Big Bang Theory as well as many movies and personal work documents.)
I began running transfer tests using Root Explorer and so far I have had 0 issues similar to those encountered with File Manager HD. I have moved several MKV and other files back and forth at will with Root Explorer and so far, 100% success.
I would recommend if you are using File Manager HD, tread lightly for the time being to see if that may be your issue as well. Or just move important files with Root Explorer.
For the flashing issue - some flash drives don't have a light (we'll ignore them).
Other have a light that's ON all the time, as if to show it's got power (bloody useless!)
Others flash their light when the drive is being accessed (read/write).
If your drive flashes, it's safe to assume you should NOT take it out - something is accessing the files, either reading, cataloguing, or writing.
I don't know is the A500, or HC, caches writes like windows does, but it MIGHT, and pulling the drive when it's flushing the cache will KILL the file (Probably both - the file being moved from and the destination file as well).
You guys/gals need to catchup on (?) in the DEV section more often

the previous update didn't kill the tablet because it was rooted. And always have the option to unroot before taking an update, if you want to be extra precautious.
or just wait till Acer fixes the issue..

Can't write to the nexus 7 internal

For some reason I cannot move files via Windows 7 file explorer to the Nexus. I can and have done this on every other mobile device that I've had before. What's the difference? Why can't I place pics and videos on it?
A few more details would be super helpful to give you a good answer. Start with if you are running a custom ROM and what if anything you have tried to solve the problem.
When you plug in your usb look under settings - storage and see if there is the option to mount storage.

In my limited experience using MTP (rooted stock N7 4.2.2 + Win 7 x64), what seems to work well is:
- copying files FROM the N7 which were already in the /sdcard mount point when the N7 last booted,
- copying files TO the N7 into a folder which already existed inside the /sdcard mount point when the N7 last booted.
(I should also point out that moving files this way seems to be 5-7 times faster than using "adb push" or "adb pull")
What seems to only work sporadically is trying to copy or write to things which were "recently created" in the /sdcard mount point. For instance, if you generate a large set of files using Android, you won't be able to find them from the PC until a seemingly random ? amount of time later. Similarly, if you create a folder on the N7 (let's say by using a file manager) with the intent of pushing some files there from the PC, you won't see that folder show up in a reasonable amount of time.
This behavior actually does make sense - in principle, it is impossible to allow instantaneous write access to a file system from two independent hosts without running risks of filesystem corruption. In previous versions of Android, external SD cards could be accessed using USB Mass Storage drivers, but only exclusively by either the Android device or the PC - never at the same time. The SD card had to be unmounted from Android in order to be seen by the PC.
But, what is curious is the delays involved. I wanted to do something similar to this the other day (copying a nandroid backup from the PC to a "new" folder on the N7), and thought that by correctly disconnecting from the PC followed by reconnecting to the PC would allow the newly-created folder to "show up" via MTP on the PC. No such luck however; I needed to reboot the N7 for that to happen.
Bottom line is that MTP will work (and quickly, too! - better than 10 MB/sec) - but only with the above limitations in mind. When in doubt, reboot the N7.

The File System Problem

Hey guys...i'm raj jhawar...i have been using my canvas knight A350 since almost 2 years.Now,i have a .iso file(size is about 4.37 GB)that i want in my device.The file system by default is Fat32 and hence became an obstacle for me. It popped-up a dialogue box stating "File is too large for destination File System". I then tried formatting my device to NTFS via pc,then in my device it's showing "Blank internal sd card or unsupported file system". My device does not supports external sd card...only internal(25 GB)...what should i do???pls help...i need the file and ought to solve this problem anyhow...need help!!!Quick Response would be highly Appreciated
Use OTG :v
That's the only way as mt65** chip doesn't support NTFS!
I had the idea of OTG...But to be honest, the iso file described above is a game file actually...and if i use OTG cable...i gotta use it everytime i want to play that game...u know, that will effect the grip somehow in the mobile...would be a little uncomfortable...but still i had that thing in mind for the worst case situation(last option). Anyway,thanks for ya help so far

QUESTION= Root so I can write Access to Removable drive?

Hi all. Only reason I am thinking of rooting my Shield TV is so I can write to my removable drives. From my understanding is that SDFix does not work with marshmallow. Is this correct? I Would love to access my non adoptable drive from my network. Or if rooted, can i also use FTP to read and write? Thank you.

Hope this helps... looks like newest update on 1/18/17 (v5.0.1)
"Other Enhancements
*Added ability to write to attached USB or SD card storage."
forums.geforce.com/default/topic/988354/shield-tv/shield-experience-upgrade-5-01-feedback-thread-for-shield-2017-/
I assume you mean network access to the attached storage
SHIELD TV Gen. 2015
write access was, for me, only possible through root and a SMB/samba server.
Root via http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu from chainfire
SMB server via https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.icecoldapps.serversultimate + https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.icecoldapps.serversultimate.packb for a native SMB server, normally i use a FTP-server like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=lutey.FTPServer but was not able to get it running on the shield
SHIELD TV Gen. 2017
As of 5.0 i was not able to write to the storage
Actual there is no way to root the 2017 and therefore no SMB server.
The bootloader was updated and ca be unlocked but does not allow to flash the recovery, even if it tells you so (fastboot).
Android 7 recognize a manipulation and reflashes the stock recovery
But i am not sure if 5.0.1 added the network write access storage feature.

Assuming we're talking a 2017 Shield, I actually managed to access my non-adapted storage over FTP. Without root.
I have a 5TB external HDD hooked up to my Shield, and sideloaded an FTP app. I set my external HDD as root-folder for said app, and could both read/write to it (most recent software update, 5.0.1). I wanted easy management/streaming from my PC though, so I installed WebDrive so I could mount the FTP server as a local drive.

Updated: We still need FTP to write to an external, non-adopted storage. Viewing can be done over SMB though!
Alrighty then, here goes nothing, please do keep in mind the "fix" you'll find down below is a quick and dirty one. It will allow you to both read and write to your external storage over FTP, without actually needing to have root.
Requirements
1. Sideload Launcher by Chainfire
2. A file manager, preferably with cloud access. I prefer X-plore myself.
3. FTP Server by The Olive Tree (others may work, your mileage may vary).
4. Any FTP client to access your shiny new server.
Step 1
- Install the Sideload Launcher if you haven't done so yet, it will allow us to open APKs that weren't designed for AndroidTV. You can just grab it from the PlayStore.
Step 2
- We're going to need an APK from FTP Server. The easiest way so far seems to be to install it on another device (in my case, my trusty Note3), and "backup" the APK to your Google drive using X-plore as you can see *here*.
- After we've gotten the APK there, hop back to the Shield and open X-plore. Go to your Google drive and install the FTP Server we just put there.
Step 3
- Use the Sideload Launcher to open our FTP server and set it up. Tapping your D-pad "up" once gets us to the settings of the app. Open it, and scroll down till you're looking at something like *this*.
- Most of these settings are up to your own discretion, but I strongly advice to untick "anonymous login" and set a username/pw. The most important bit is to set the home-directory to your non-adapted HDD.
- Close the settings, and tap your D-pad "down" once. Click [ A ], and we should get a nice green icon saying we're up and running! Should be something like *this*.
- The app will "survive" Sleep-mode, but after a restart you'll have to toggle it on again.
Step 4
- Profit!
- You should be able to access your FTP server on your specified local port, and using WebDrive you can even access it easily on a PC. It'll look something like *this*.
- You can use your regular SMB share to view your files over your local network, the catch is that you'll need to use FTP to write to it.
Final note!
It looks like setting X-plore as "default handler" for the non-adapted storage makes it disconnect from your shield. Don't tick it!
I read that writing to the external usb HDD is now fixed in the latest update v5.0.2?
In which case enable the following Settings > Device > Storage & reset > SHIELD storage access > Over local network > On and map the drive to the laptop.
Is this correct? I need to test it out still.

Don't think so yet. I *can* view and play it, but can't write to it. Screeny over here: imgur,com/ieuhlB0
Any one have luck with this yet? Really hoping to be able to write easy to the external storage.

As I explained above, you actually can write to it using FTP (non-adopted storage, no root required whatsoever). Currently I would just advice using the regular SMB share to view it on other devices (since you don't want to download anything before viewing).
I've edited the instructions to clarify.
Here is something I discovered. When you hook up a USB flash drive or HD, it creates some folders on that drive. Android nvidia shield(something like that)
The nvidia folder it creates is writable. I am using a flash drive as non adoptable to play ROMs on with emulators. On the root of the drive I had issues. But once I moved my ROMs folder inside the nvidia folder all was well. No my emulators can load the ROMs from the nvidia folder created on the drive and write the save files to the same folder the ROMs are located in.
Hope this helps. Only issue is that when u restart, you get the annoying pop up asking to adopt the drive. I just hit browse each time.. Because I don't want to adopt it.. I just want it to store files..
Android went plum retarded post kitkat with drives and SD cards and write permissions.. Its very annoying and makes me long for the good OK days where u could just insert something and do with it slas you please... In my opinion they have over complicated what should be a rather simple procedure.. But it looks like this is the direction they have choose..

Checked this and the [\\SHIELD\ExternalStorage\NVIDIA_SHIELD] folder is writable over SMB indeed.
Now it's just a matter of whether or not you're willing to put up with the popup.
Hope that helps ya. The android folder is most likely writable as well.
I remember this work around when lollipop came out and apps were not built with the proper permissions. You could use the apps folder in android on the SD card to circumvent this.
But yea I'm good for now just using the shield folder on my flash drive... I do wish there was a way to remove the popup on boot asking to adopt storage though....
I'm beginning to loathe nougat....
The later android versions are hardly usable for me without the use of xposed.
Anyways, hope that trick helps you and anyone else
If you have root couldn't you just mount the drive as writeable using a file explorer? I'm interested in writing to a removable drive in general (don't care about network access specifically).
Any news here?
I am on Nvidia Shield 2017 with 8.0.1 rooted.
I can only READ my attached NAS (network storage).
But I want to get WRITE access too
The workaround with the NVIDIA_SHIELD folder did not work... And Apps like SDfix ends up in error ??!
I own two Shields and need them to write to my NAS.
Does anyone can help me how to get this working?
Both Shields are rooted
Anyone know, if THIS is still actual? (4 years old)
Thank u very much

Same setup as you. I have been searching everywhere on a way to do this and no luck.
