Ok guys, bear with me and my lack of knowledge. Im having some trouble transferring some pictures from my pc to my phone. When I hook my phone up tp my pc nothing happens. On my phone it says to mount if I want to transfer files between my phone and pc, after I hit mount, nothing happens. I just got a brand new computer. Windows 7. Also Im having trouble installing the drivers. I downloaded the file, but it says it didnt install correctly. The trouble shooting option doesnt help either. Thanks for any help!!

That happened to me once, I restarted my computer and it worked. I would also just tried another USB port after that
I've been having this problem for awhile. I've switched phones, computers
erased my sd. I don't know what the problem is.. Ive even bought a new usb cord. I'm going to buy a new sd card and try that. My computer says it doesn't recognize my phone. All I want is too put music on my card.. It worked so nice before the ota 2.1...i really appreciate your input.
It could be the drivers. See if it gives you the option to uninstall the drivers from Device Manager. Maybe you can add an ADB device. I forget how.
Hello! I just rooted my Eris yesterday and when I plug my phone into my computer it doesn’t come up on my phone and ask me how I want to dock it (it is checked to ask on the phone itself) . When I first plugged it in and it tried to install the drivers it failed. Over at developer.android.com where I got and installed SDK it said to use pda.net to install drivers, which I did. So now my computer recognizes the phone and I can push apps over however the phone still will not give me the option to mount as a drive. Is there anyway I can make it mount so I can browse files in file explorer. Thank you in advance.
i'm assuming you are on a Windows PC...
firstly, are you able to mount as storage in Recovery?
also, not sure about the pdanet method (never used it)... but i know that if you install HTC Sync it should work fine (link below).

Sorry, yes. Windows Vista 32bit
To be honest, I'm not sure what I did but it works now. I plugged it into my laptop to charge and it wanted to mount with no problems. I Just tried it on my PC and it also worked. Even worked with the same usb cord I used last night so that rules out a cord problem
Thanks though. I didn't even think about trying it in recovery mode. If it happens again I will see where that gets me
hi. the problem im having is that i cant connect my phone to transfer files such as music and photos. i can use apps like airdroid and kies but want to discover the problem and have an easier way off organizing my files from computer to phone.
i recently flashed cm-9-20121209-NIGHTLY-galaxys2.zip then installed gapps-ics-201204929-signed.zip from internal storage.
thats the only two things i have done.
a window used to pop up when i plugged in the usb and it would also appear on 'MyComputer' folder. but neither happen now. I still get the connected sound when i connect the phone. I have tried different usb slots on my computer and have tried turning my phone off and on and rebooting it.
do i need a special driver for the cyanogenmod rom? thats the only thing i can think of!
anyone have any suggestions?
thanks
Hello,
I installed yesterday a custom rom with 2.3.4 for an Xperia Play device and I've noticed that the phone is properly recognized, all drivers are fine, I can go into fastboot mode, bootloader unlocked, etc... and I can see the microSD card from the phone when this is plugged to the computer via USB.
The problem is that I copy files from the computer to the phone, windows takes its time and at the end says that it's all good, you can see the files in the phone, however when you then unplug the phone and go to that location, none of the new files are there?! :S
More weird is that then you plug the phone back to windows and the files appear there again?
Any idea what could be going on? and how I could copy files from windows to this android in this case?
Cheers!!
Maybe just links
Maybe you just linked to the files on your Computer. Move/Rename them on your Computer and see if you can still open them on your phone. If no you just created a link to the data stored on your computers hard drive. If yes I also can't tell you what's going on
Thanks, no the files were the complete files, no links.
I've been looking into this further, and reflash the mobile with a total different rom and still happening there (although with this new rom doesn't happen 100% of the times like with the other). What I've just now noticed is that the mobile doesn't recognize those files, but... if I REBOOT it, then they appear once it starts up?! so weird.... :S
Hey all. Just a second ago I had a whole nice post typed up about this, but something happened on my computer and I lost it. So here's the deal. I can't get my computer to recognize my phone and allow me to access it as a drive. I tried to manually install the drivers but that wouldn't work, it said that the Windows MTP driver wasn't installed then it asked me to install Windows Media Format 11 runtime, which I did, and that didn't help, so I installed Windows MTP, and that didn't fix it either. Before you ask, I have my phone in MTP mode. Please help. I love this phone and just want to be able to use it to it's potential. Thank you.
Edit: Also I should mention it's a Verizon LG V10 VS990. Let me know if you need any more info, I would greatly appreciate some help.
I never use MTP. For way more control, Explorer from Speed Software can connect to any Windows (SMB) share on your home network.
Here this might help

Thanks man, but this didn't work either I'm still getting nothing popping up besides a few messages that say nothing important, but do give away the fact that my computer is old and becoming senile.

Thank you, I can give this a try when I go home for a temporary fix but where I'm staying at the wi-fi is trash so I don't think it will work well. It also wouldn't suit all my needs, including eventually rooting my device, so I'm going to keep trying to find a more permanent solution. I appreciate the reply.
