Hey. Just want to get some music files on my phone. This HiSuite business sucks.
Can some one help or redirect me. Please.
Best solution: scrap Windows 10
Second-best solution: use WiFi File Explorer (I personally use the paid Pro version)
Third-best solution: use AirDroid
Once you've done a few file transfers using WiFi, you'll wonder why you ever bothered with a cable in the first place.
I've been using My Phone Explorer on androids for years http://www.fjsoft.at/en/

If you have no use for HiSuite, ditch it, it's more of a pain than it's worth.
Once you've ditched HiSuite, you will be able to drag and drop files to your phone without issue.

How do I just ditch it? When I connect my device to my computer it doesn't actually come up, instead I get this Hi-Suite cd-rom installer.
I've developer mode and USB debugging on.

Try turning off usb debug, and when your phon asks charging or file management, choose file management (or something like that).
Airdroid is a piece of crap now compared to Airmore. I've been using airdroid for few years, but when you have to transfer large files, it always stop before the end. Airmore is way more reliable than airdroid.
To ditch Hisuite, juste uninstall it from your computer, and when you plug your phone you have a notification : click on it and change from "charging only" to "MTP"

I don't have the luxury of wifi. Sounds nice.
MTP is set up but HiSuite autoloader pops up on my PC.
I'm going to just use ADB for file transfers.

Look if you just used My Phone Explorer you don't have to mess around with USB, just do it over WiFi

I just use adb, it's way faster than using Windows Explorer.
The OP probably has solved his/her issue already, but what i did with my Huawei GR5 is uninstall Hi-Suite ( with CC cleaner ) , plug the phone in via usb cable , then ignore what pops up on the laptop or cancel it , goto the phone and scroll down from the top to get the notifications , find the USB option which should be on charge only ( nothing highlighted ) and click on the 'Files' option under the USB icon . Then a represntation of my phones storage pops up and let me modify any files on my phone ie add music or videos . hope this may help some peoples having issues in the future .

so i'm trying to upload videos to my computer and came across dropbox. I tried it out but was unsuccessful. videos will not upload from my phone onto the app.
what are other ways of uploading videos from the vibrant to a computer ?
USB cable?
Sent from THE Vibrant......
I use dropbox and awesomedrop from http://labs.dashwire.com/drop/android and they work without a hitch.
Dropbox really is a great way to transfer files between multiple devices including you phone, but since it does have to sync with the cloud it is not as fast as a direct connection. Sometimes you just have to be patient, movies are large.
As always, if you need to sign up for a Dropbox account you should always use this this link --> https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTEyNTA5OTQzOQ?src=global0 <--

So I just tried out AwesomeDrop and it only lets you drop files from the computer onto your phone.
I need to do the opposite. Video from phone to computer.
I tried the usb route but I cannot seem to find video files on the folder that pops up on the computer screen. Maybe it's cause I cannot seem to find a way to choose mass store from my vibrant.
When I pop in the usb cable to the phone from laptop I get no pop up menu asking to choose mass storage on the phone ......

Yeah, forgot to put that awesome drop is great for PC to Phone transfer.
As far as the USB and what not, what are the USB settings set to on the phone?

My USB setting was on MassStorage. SO I now have no clue what to do . I'm trying upload a video to youtube from my phone and cannot figure out how.
Man ! I thought this was going to be easy ...
I tried uploading a video str8 from my phone using the share>youtube>upload but I guess my video is too long for that to work.
Video is about 7mins long.
You may have a USB interconnectivity issue. I have noticed intermittent issues myself with various ROMs. Try rebooting the phone.

Are you on WiFi? I don't have any vids longer than a few minutes, but the ones I had I was able to upload via share from gallery. HD quality vids required me to be on WiFi though.

I'm not sure what you mean by interconnectivity issue, but rebooting the phone definitely worked out ..

As far as ROMS goes I will soon be rooting my phone for the first time and will be trying out new ROMS ... Can't wait.

Try another cable? That's always step 1. If that doesn't work, try a different USB port on the PC; try restarting the PC.
I have even tried using my laptop! Same thing, no notification. There is no option in settings to connect to pc either. I know on older roms i remember seeing that option on my phone:confused. Would deleting the android secure folder have anything to do with that?

If you have the SDK installed on your computer you can try using adb. The stock camera app generally puts your photos in /sdcard/DCIM/Camera.
Code:
adb pull /sdcard/DCIM/Camera
This should copy all of those photos to whatever directory you are currently in, in your terminal.
Edit: Also, you might want to try another USB cable. My last usb cable gave me similar problems and eventually stopped working even for charging.
Hey all,
My roommate recently bought a Galaxy Tablet 10.1 and it just now wont connect to the computer.
When the device is plugged into the computer (we tried both a mac and a pc with updated kies mini installed on both) and the tablet says USB is connected, but it doesn't show up on the pc.
Any ideas?
We had it connected earlier in the day, and know it won't work. I'm puzzled.
I've got an infuse, but i've never had anything like this happen before.
Try going into settings> applications> development and tick or un-tick usb debugging. Might have to try both settings plugging and unplugging from the computer to finally get it to come up. Give it a couple minutes between each to be sure its going to see it or not.
This has worked for me in the past when something changes and I don't know what. Also re-installing the drivers on the computer has helped before for some reason. I'm using Windows7 so YMMV.
Let us know what helps.

Are you stating it's not showing up as a storage drive in Windows when using USB, or are you stating KIES cannot see the tablet (or both)? If Kies, welcome to the club - you are far from alone. I know of no known solution (that topic has been beaten to death on all forums). Togling the USB dedub option may help with respect to Windows seeing it as a storage drive (try another USB port, too), but with respect to Kies, if you find a solution (that you can duplicate) please share. The only way I've ever been able to get Kies to work twice on the same computer was to reset the tablet back to factory defaults - at which point, I can connect VIA Kies one more time, then back to square one.
Good luck!

Kies see's the device, but wont connect. Windows doesn't see if as a USB device.
We tried toggling the USB Debugging switch to no avail.
On my infuse when i plug it into my laptop i have to go to the notification window, click on the usb connected notification, and then select mass storage mode.
We get the notification on the tab, but when i click on it nothing happens...

nothing is supposed to happen. it uses MTP not mass storage. On your laptop, go to "Computer"...it should be there under a portable media device.
if that doesn't work....make sure USB debugging is UNCHECKED...it will NOT work with it checked.
If all that doesn't work..try another USB port
I believe the issue is on a windows machine it usually pops up a box where you can select what you want to do. Such as open folder to view files, etc... and this isn't happening. Probably wrong in my thinking but who knows.

Ezcats Re: Nothing should happen.
This is not entirely accurate. My experience parallels Benzoman's statement. Each and everytime I connect my 10.1 4G (GT-7500D), Windows does indeed open a box asking what I'd like to do with it. It does show up under Computer as a device, and I can readily access it to copy files (however, Kies won't connect... Kies recognized that fact that I plugged it in, and attempts to connect, but never does - again, unless I reset it to factory in which case Kies not only finds it, but will connect to it - once).

Sup my XDA'erzz... Hey so real quick is anyone experiencing issues with Android File Transfer and a Mac? I'm specifically using a Macbook Pro i& quad-core with a SSD and running OS X 10.9 Mavericks... I never had these issues with my Verizon OG HTC One 32GB... But since picking up a Verizon HTC One Max 32GB Android File Transfer refuses to work and for the life of me I can't figure out why.. If I just plug it in nothing happens unless I manually launch AFT and then I receive a message that says please connect your android device with a usb cable. If I plug it in and restart the phone it picks it up but then says can not connect to device... It's extremely annoying because I'm working on some ROMs for it and I have to constantly ADB push everything....... Not that big of deal but I'd still like to be able to mount my storage where everything is visible and can add/remove as I please.... Any suggestions would be great, thanks guys!!
Try using a different cable. Sometimes its a simple solution thats overlooked.

Reinstall drivers, not a mac user so idk if you need the fastboot or adb files from sdk. But if you do, reinstall those exe files

Did you look at what the usb phone setting is on. I know there are extra ones like modem or something or other that could prevent transfer.
I am having similar issues, the mtp file transfer mode seems to borked. I can get files from phone but not send em. I've been mounting my external sd as drive then moving the files using root explorer.
Of course.. It always shows that MTP mode is enabled but does nothing when you tap it, and also shows usb is connected on the phone but when taping that it brings up only options for internet passthrough and sharing etc...

Right. Internet passthrough and others. Dont some of those stop file transfer when active.

Could be the USB 3.0 intermittent issue. Try a powered hub that is USB 2.0 as if your notebook is new enough most likely the USB ports are all 3.0.
Just saying.
Got this new computer on Sunday. Came with windows8. I immediately upgraded to 10. So I cah't say anything about 8. It's not in my best interests to try to even use it.
My note 2 does NOTHING when plugged in to the computer. I have no drivers. Even the notification bar on the phone does NOTHING.
In short. I plug the phone in to PC and get NOTHING. So i can't access my phone as a external media device to retreive my pics and what not from phone to PC.
Right now, I'm using the ONE DRIVE cloud method. PRETTY SLOW.
Is there ANY way to get the PC and phone to connect using windows 10? If so, could someone please post a link to where the drivers or whatever i need might be.
THANK YOU.
Download samsung kies try installing it on your pc ,then i think you may find your phone compatible with with your pc.

Try a different usb port and or usb cable. I have multiple Win8 and 10 boxes and have had no issues with multiple different phones being recognized.
