[Q] Anyone having problems copying files to the Tab? - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm not sure if this is a problem with all samsung devices, just my tab, or perhaps even my computer:
Whenever I try copy a large file, say a movie, the transfer stops half way through and I get a message saying "The device has stopped responding" So I break it into smaller pieces and transfer separately, which works. Then, after I disconnect the USB, I get a repeated toast "Media Scanner Running" every few seconds. Whenever I try open the Video Player, Music, Gallery or even Camera, they close right away. So I read somewhere online that this is Samsung's crappy media scanner. I cleared the data from the media app and then I see a message "media scanning completed" and now I'm able to access these apps, though they show no files.
I have finally resorted to streaming over wifi from my desktop to the tab. Is anyone else facing these issues?
I'm currently on the latest overcome ROM, but I've seen the same issues on AOKP, Task and even the stock 3.2 rom.

I just found this post and would like to say that I too am having this problem, it happened with the stock ROM and after ROOT with Task650 ROM... I was worried it was the hardware in the Tablet. I was wondering if you ever resolved this or found a way around, as I too can't transfer large files (my movies) to it, it just times out.

I will also have this problem, only with Android 3.2
with CM9 I had not more ', which are now in stock, it has returned to make, so it's the rom

I used to have this problem when I had my sleep timer set to 1 minute. I now set it on 5 minutes, and have yet to see the problem reoccur. I just loaded a 2.5 gigabyte folder to it this morning without a hitch. I am not sure that is the solution to your problem, I have done many things since then...any of which could have resolved the issue. I am a flashaholic, so it may have been resolved on one of my more recent wipes (I always restore to stock and completely factory reset my tablet prior to loading another rom).
Regardless, try changing your sleep setting to 5 or 10 minutes and see if this resolves your issue. Post back your results!

I doubt it's the Rom, as I have used them all. It's more likely a setting or a driver issue....I am leaning towards settings.

Are you transferring using Explorer or Kies? Try using Kies and see if it has the same problems if you were using explorer.

I will try changing the sleep setting, that's a good idea I had not thought of this. I am transferring through explorer - I will try it tonight and post back my results.

Looks like this didn't help me, the transfer failed. Also, I keep hearing the USB connect/disconnect sound all throughout while the tablet is plugged in, and yes I tried different USB ports. I even uninstalled Kies and tried. Same issue.

Sometimes toggling usb debugging on the tablet works for me. Seems like the tab drivers don't play nice with some usb controllers.

Hrrmmmm, interesting. It sounds like one of 2 things is happening:
1. Your connection between your tablet and your computer is intermittent, whether it be the cable or the pins on your tablet connection.
Or
2. For some software related reason your computer cannot keep your tablet mounted. You may try going into your devices tab on the task manager and remove all references to your tablet, then try plugging ur tablet back in.

you can install a kernel that allows to disable mtp and mount ass mass storage, it solved the problem for me and is also way faster.

[USER][CM7] Bluetooth tips and tricks...and questions

Hope I'm not duplicating anything, but there seems to be a lot of BT related questions and none answered in one unified place. Also I think the BT Dev thread should be left to the devs (to keep it easier for them to work on things, rather than help us mere mortals ).
This applies to CM7 (latest nightlies, Tablet Tweak RCs) ONLY (as far as I know).
So, if bluetooth does not turn on, there a few things that you can try.
Do a HARD reset (that is, hold down the power button until the NookColor turns off, then start it back up.
Fix Permissions in ClockworkRecovery:
Boot into CWR (w/SD, load it in. With CWR installed on eMMC, go to ROM Manager > Reboot into Recovery. Alternatively, hold down the power plus "N" button for ~8 seconds (from a shutdown NookColor).​
Try both!
An interesting thing to note is some users (myself included) can only start up bluetooth within a pretty short window of time after the NC has booted up. Not sure why timing is important, but could be a factor for those who cannot start up BT after some given time of operation.
I found this tip that may work after a fresh (read: wipe system/data) install, but may also work after flashing a nightly over a nightly.
If you're ready to turn on Bluetooth, there's a trick. If you don't do this, Bluetooth will just refuse to turn on / be enabled.
Turn off wifi (Settings > Wireless & Networks > Wi-Fi)
Reboot
Turn on Bluetooth (Settings > Wireless & Networks > Bluetooth)
Turn on wifi
It seems a bit odd, but that's what you have to do. From then on out it'll work fine.

For a list and description of devices that work with the NC, check this out:
Known functional Bluetooth devices
For tethering data via BT, try android-wifi-tether. While it can be used to create an access point on your phone via wifi, you can also opt to use BT to create the tether. This works well in conjunction with TetherGPS which I use to provide GPS info to the NC from my G1 while using CoPilot Live to show navigation (I don't have data on the G1).

Tried that previously and it did not work for me.
In other words, it works as with all the kernels I've tried (your OC'd and stock kernel): it will start up if I start is quickly, but otherwise not.

me too. I went back to 4/4 since them. If I leave BT on all the time, it is on when I boot, but if I turn off BT and reboot, it won't come on without a hardboot (holding down power.)
Fix permissions is NOT needed, just a hard boot.

For the last few days Ive been trying to get BT working w/ my car stereo, using phiremod 5.3
I have no problems enabling Bluetooth (first time I had to reboot a few times and fix permissions)
With it flat against the stereo, I'm 'paired but not connected' and getting it to actually connect usually takes 4 - 5 tries.
After its connected- when I try to play any kind of music, it gets stuck every few seconds- and stays stuck for more than a few seconds (like 10) and plays again.
I just downloaded this kernel, (wiped caches, fixed permissions again) and it connected on the second time, and only got 'stuck' once for maybe 2 seconds, and played the rest of the song with no problems.
Seems like it changed something on my end...
Just figured I'd mentioned it.
(I can go back to the other kernel, or a different version of cm7, and see if I get the same connecting/ stuttering problem, if you thing it would help)
Btw- thanks so much for sharing all of your hard work!

Never had an issue with the IMEI number, but here's how I got it setup.
Start with the TetherGPS app running server on the phone and client on the NC, as well as tether-wifi from google running on the phone, then connect to the AP on the NC
Next, open/install the app. It should read the GPS data from the phone
Now, switch back to a wireless connection with internet access, download the voice, then enter the serial/etc...
Finally, load the app back up after all the registration stuff 'n things, and use the "internet" connection from the phone to grab the GPS info.
Copied and edited from cm7 user thread.
I have xoom bluetooth keyboard with disconnect issues. Would the special kernel help with this?
From the accessories thread. "I found a work-around. Download the app Bluetooth Keyboard JP, change the settings in settings > Language and Keyboard to that app, then connect the keyboard." Anybody else try this or others? Blue Input is another one. I know of one more but can remember its name.
I'm running Phiremod v5.3 cm7 from emmc and cm7 nightlies from sd card. I usually have a data sd card but can switch it out. I have updated the cm7 sd card before. Not sure which nightly and OC I used last. Could use ClockWorksMod to flash this kernel to Phiremod v5.3. Could replace the kernel, uImage, on the SD card. Usually there are different kernels for emmc and sd card.
Another issue: When I have the keyboard active and playing flash files from the internet, it seems to buffer more. If I move the keyboard out of range or use settings to disconnect the keyboard, the buffering is less and the flash files play better. I have cyfi bluetooth external speakers. When I use them I get the same buffering issue, so I just use an external player through the headphone jack instead.

Apparently the latest version of Copilot has introduced this error. I have spoken with tech support regarding the issue and they told me that they are aware of the problem and will release an update early next week that will fix the problem. Apparently if you have version 8.2.504 it works, but the new version breaks it. The dev won't send me a copy of the old version, so I guess I'll just have to wait and hope.

I don't know if that is a solution, but the problem appears to be a conflict between wifi and bluetooth. Turn off wifi and most of your keyboard problems will go away.
Also there is an app on the market called "Null Keyboard" Which simply turns on a keyboard device that disables everything keyboard related. It doesn't disable bluetooth input, but it gets rid of the long-press pop ups and is suppose to solve other issues as well (including the software keyboard popping up every time you want to type.)
I haven't had time to install it, but it's purchased.
Does anyone know where (on the Nook) the BT chip/antenna is located?
It might help to know, since the range is so limited...

I was just using google voice to text from several feet back. In fact it was hard to read the small print from that distance. I did not realized that keyboards have a larger range then headsets.
Testing Bluetooth Keyboard JP now. Force closes, so just switched to swift keyboard I downloaded from amazon app store for free. To get out swift keyboard and get a null keyboard, I hit the back key on the xoom keyboard, then the virtual swift keyboard no longer shows up.
@chisleu do you have a link or instruction to modify bluetooth keyboards so that keys can have their mappings corrected. Xoom has some correct and some wrong or disabled under CM7.
Couldn't get BT to work at all however powering down while the wifi is off, and turning the bluetooth on before the wifi made it works on the first try. Was streaming Slacker to my stereo in a matter of minutes. Wifi doesn't seem to interfere with the BT audio stream at all, audio sounded crisp and perfect. Range however was still limited to a foot or so.
Hoping there is a possible hardware mod that can hook up an antenna to the BT chip. I'd be in heaven if I had full BT functionality on this beast.
FYI, Although I don't have any RF experience I'm still an electrical engineer so if anyone can toss me a bone on the PCB layout or pinouts of the nook I might be able to try stuff to boost the range.
What is the feasibility of adding dial-up networking client support to CM7? Some folks are able to tether their NC to their phone using an ad hoc wifi network, and others have had success via a Bluetooth personal area network (PAN) using the "pand" utility. Unfortunately, I have a Blackberry phone, and it does not support the PAN profile. It does, however, support dial-up networking (DUN) over Bluetooth (confirmed with a Windows laptop).
According to https://sites.google.com/a/android.com/opensource/projects/bluetooth-faq, "dund" is the client utility that is needed to establish a dial-up connection from Android to another device. When I run this command on the NC, it says "dund: not found". I'm not a developer and don't know how much effort would be involved in adding this functionality to the build. Is it just a matter of including the binaries, or is there additional development work involved?
Thanks in advance..

[Q] "Connected to Multimedia Station" Notification

Hello!
First, let me please say that I am entirely new to the Android world (former iPhone owner). I absolutely love having a phone that runs on the Android system, but it is quite the adjustment! I'm slowly learning... or trying to.
A notification stating "Connected to Multimedia Station - multimedia station is currently connected" appeared on my phone. When this appeared, my phone was not connected to any other source. I am unable to exit out of this notification. Since it appeared, many aspects of my phone have changed and/or are not working. When the notification appeared, it altered my lock screen, home screen, and icons. Many apps will not open, and I receive an error message when I attempt to open them. In addition, my app store will no longer work. I cannot download any apps or make any updates. I receive error messages with those as well, and then the program force closes.
So, I guess my question is this: What in the world happened?? How do I exit out of this notification/program that randomly connected, and restore my phone to how it was previously?
Ok, so that's more than one question. I appreciate any and all assistance!
Ok, that even confuses me. Whenever it happened, do you by chance remember what you were doing? Plug it in to your comp? The wall? Anything? Have you tried rebooting or pulling the battery?

I actually was not using my phone when it appeared. My phone was simply on my work desk. When I had a moment, I picked up my phone to use it, and noticed what had happened. It was not plugged in to any source. I have not tried rebooting or pulling the battery... which seems like common sense to try, I'm sure, but I was afraid of messing it up even more! Just being cautious!
I would try to reboot and if you are unable to, then I would pull the battery.
Also, welcome to XDA and thanks for the thanks Make sure you hit the thanks button for those like the poster above me whenever someone helps you out. You're limited to only 8 thanks per day, so use them wisely

I, too, wish I knew from where this notification came. Rebooting does fix it, but only temporarily. The notification would appear again in only a matter of days. I have since installed a new rom, and I have not seen the notification since. Wonder if backing up the phone then wiping the cache would do the trick for good... but still, I also want to know why it happened in the first place!

[cm7] internal build issues to date

I've been playing around with cm7 since release, internal build so I haven't run into the brick problem, but I have noticed a couple issues that I never had with a plain 1.4.0 rooted nook tablet.
First, I am losing wifi connectivity when I let the tablet sleep for more than a few minutes. Wifi will remain on, but just scans indefinitely while finding no networks. Sometimes I have to toggle wifi off and on several times before it starts working again. I have never had it lose connectivity while it was active and doing something, only when I set it down for several minutes and then wake it up.
Secondly the youtube app has locked up my tablet requiring a reboot several times. Sometimes this happens on the first video played, sometimes I can get up to 4 or 5 before the screen just goes black and all input is ignored. I would have left this info on the alpha release thread, but I can't post there yet and wanted to pass this info along. I'm having a great time fooling around with it, and so far these are the only issues I've noticed.
I haven't had the wi-fi isses that I've noticed. Only things I've ran into are those already being discussed in the dev forum - the near-brick experience and larger apps not installing.
In spite of almost bricking, I've still been using the alpha over the last couple days and am definitely loving the freedom and speed over stock. Can't wait to see how awesome it becomes with further development.
The wifi issue can be fixed by adjusting the settings. You just need to turn off wifi sleep. I think this is a long time cm7 bug and not unique to this build. I have reverted to stock for now so I can't guide you through it, but I am pretty sure it's an easy adjustment. (I couldn't go without hulu while in the middle of watching a series.)

Yep, you just go to Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> WiFi Settings then press the menu button. This brings up a small menu bar with two options. Tap "Advanced" and you can change your wifi sleep policy there.

Yeah, I'm not sure where the misconception that it's the SD-Card version causing the problem, unless it's just confusion because the problem was cause by an SDCard Format....I think the issue occurs in either, and I know for sure the internal is succeptible to it, because mine is internal and I was an early-bricker.
Ok, my fault for not being clear I guess. I have no conceivable reason to format an sd-card from within the cm7 alpha release so I have continued using it. Turning wifi to always on seems to have fixed my wifi issues, with a negative impact on battery life.
Youtube is still crashing my NT with regularity but that probably has something to do with the generally bad video performance.

Yeah, Celtic and Gonce are working on fixing the video drivers. Right now they're a bit iffy.

-Color is weird in some games (like blue instead of green)
-B&N Nook app not syncing or not working at all.
I have not used Netflix on it yet so I'm not sure of the quality for that or youtube. I have no need to wipe SD card so will continue to explore any bugs.

CM7 beta bug report
Hello, I can't post to the development forum yet, but I thought the devs working on the next CM7 release for the NT should know about a potential bug. Also, I've only began using an android device about a month ago, so please forgive any noobish remarks. If after reading this, someone thinks it's important for the upcoming CM7 build release, please let someone on the development team know. Thanks.
I've been using an internal install of the beta build since it was released yesterday morning.
Everything has been working, very well, and I haven't been attempting to format sd cards from the device.
I've had one crash of ADW launcher when trying to add a playlist through the music player widget. I had a minor wifi hiccup that required toggling the wifi on and off to resolve. And a crash of the notification bar, when I attempted to click on an email notification message, which resolved by itself, seconds later.
The bug I'm most concerned about happened just about an hour ago. I noticed the battery getting low, so i plugged it in, powered on. It started charging, so i left it alone, a little while later, I looked at it, and the "n" on the charger had changed from orange to green, indicating a full charge. I awoke the nook from sleep to find that it was no longer charging, but that the battery was only about half charged. I unplugged it, and plugged it back in, but the status light was orange for only a second, before changing back to green, and no more charging.
I powered it off, and plugged it it (which of course made it turn back on /facepalm), but then powered it down through the power console as soon as CM7 booted. I has been powered off, and as far as i can tell charging normally, as indicated by the orange status of the charger's indicator. I intend to leave it powered off, and charging, until such time as the charging indicator turns green.
There may be some information here that is valuable to the Developers and you have attempted to articulate everything well.
However, is there some reason you chose to create a new thread instead of posting your issue In This One?
Perhaps the moderators can combine these threads but I'm sure the developers are more apt to look in one thread then trying to chase down multiple ones.
Good luck with your issues.
Aw crud. Totally didn't see that thread. If a mod could please combine, it would be appreciated.
Maybe the bug thread should be stickied?

I've been having crashing/force closes trying to stream video from sites like youtube.....but with a more mature content....if you know what I mean.

On the plus side, it seems like it charges pretty well through a USB connection now, where, if I'm not mistaken, it would not do so on stock. Although I only had stock for like 3 hours before zerging it, so I can't compare it very well....
I was also sitting up waiting on the release of this and have been running it every since then. the only real bugs I have seen is the unable to install alot of apps from the market as it gives the cant write to sdcard which is documented in the dev forums. my wireless does not seem to drain my battery much at all but the device itself never wanted to go into sleep mode unless I forced it into sleep. I changed the screen timeout and changed it right back and the issue resolved itself. Wireless does commonly go from full signal to 2 bars though but even when at 2 bars the connection seems fine and no loss of speed. as far as apps over 20 meg. the only ones I tried I had the apk file stored on my sd card and installed from there and they all installed just fine.
the device seems way more responsive now and I am absolutely loving it although i do miss the nook reader app itself and the one I downloaded from the market gives ab internal error : exception executing the command when I try and sign in Cant wait for the next release alpha or beta I would love to test it.

Go to the "Nook" folder on your sd card, then delete it. then try to sign in on the nook reader. This has worked for others who now have the nook app up and running on cm7

-Unable to install some .apks and some apps from the market.
-Color is weird in some games (like blue instead of green)
-B&N Nook app not syncing or not working at all.
I have not used Netflix on it yet so I'm not sure of the quality for that or youtube. I have no need to wipe SD card so will continue to explore any bugs.

Mostly I'm seeing the occasional app not installing. Every time it has been because "sdcard is not mounted". Even though it obviously it mounted. Aldiko reader is my current villain in this regard. No Wireless problems, but I changed the advanced settings right away. Interface is nice and fast.
Does anyone have any problems with installing games like need for speed

[Q] Phone crashing when plugged in to computer

UPDATE 3 I've run into my ultimate issues, when plugged in to install drivers, I get the error "device unplugged" but it's plugged in, charging. I have tried different ports on my PC, different cables, I don't know what to do at this point..
---------------------------------------
UPDATE 2 I've gotten the device to finally recognize as an MTP device, but it only stays connected for a short time, it disconnects after a few seconds, I've tried swapping cables already, as well. Any advice?
---------------------------------------
UPDATE Okay, I've solved the problem with the crashing, but now my phone shows as it isn't even connected at all. I've re-installed drivers, I am completely stumped atm.
----------------------------------------
Basically, I've been having this problem ever since I've flashed to 4.2.1/4.2.2 where my phone will crash when it's plugged into a computer for file management.
When plugged in via USB I get the typical prompt that says "USB Connected" & "Turn on USB storage"
With common sense, I choose to turn on USB Storage and I basically get the loading ring, and after some time my phone just freezes up, and I have to reset it using the volume rocker down + power.
I've flashed a different rom, wiped cache/dalvik, factory restore, wipe system, fix permissions, & just constantly trying to get it to connect.
Is there anyway I can make the phone automatically mount when plugged in? Like on 4.1.2, all you had to do was plug it in and you can easily drag and drop files? I'm not very fond of this turning on USB storage option.
bump? Really need to get this problem solved..
This send to be an issue with 4.2.1 I have the same issue. Freezing completely when transferring files.
Easy solution for me is the airdroid app from the market. Easily transfers over wifi to and from the phone.

I've tried that, but no luck on my end. Glad you're not having issues though.

You could give flappjaxxx's cm10.1 kang a go then. Its what I have been using and has some nice added little touches by him. And I was able to use my phone with my computer

[Q] tethering problem

hi, i used to do it just fine but its few days
my pc doesn't have wi-fi so i connect to wi-fi with my phone and tether it to pc using usb
i ran speed test and it gives me 1.28mbps in pc and 2.7mbps in phone ! (sometimes 0.28mbps in pc !)
i play team fortress 2 on my pc fine, no lags, but sometimes ( so often) i get connection problem auto dc in 30 seconds which ends always EXACTLY at 20.0 ! sounds weird!
What service / carrier? Are you using the built-in USB tethering or another app? Are you rooted? Stock or custom rom?

im using wifi, not 3G
im using built in ! if there's any better app i will download it
im rooted and stock 4.4.2
and i got nexus 4 as you can see on my pic + signature
also, the weird thing is it happens EXACTLY every 20 seconds for EXactly 10 seconds !
anyone ?
EDIT: sorry it have been only a day, it felt like 3 days ! i thought i posted the last thing 3 days ago !
You might have to use another app that hides your activities such as PDANet or Clockwork Tether. Unfortunately though they do have free versions, they have limitations that might get annoying if you don't pay for the premium service. Another option would be a custom rom that has the tethering provisions removed already. Oh yea, if you are still on the stock rom, check for some kind of tetheringprovision.apk in /system/app. If there is anything like that in there, if you freeze it or rename it, that might help as well. Just hard to be more concrete with suggestions as carriers can have their own ways to trip up tethering usage vs others and it might just be a glitch, or they have something set up to make this a pain.
Try PdaNet+. There's a free version you can try to see if everything works. It times out after about 10 minutes and you have to reconnect. To connect via USB it requires a companion program to be installed on your PC. Try it a bunch of times and see if you can replicate the problem. If not, go ahead and pay $8 for the key to unlock the full version, which doesn't time out. If the problem persists, I'd have to guess that it's an issue with your carrier. Or it could be an issue with another app or mod that you're using that is causing an issue.
Thanks , it stoped! Didn't make any change!
Will check these of it came back!
Also it's around my exams and I don't have time check it thanks anyway
