Amazfit Stratos not connecting with Macbook pro via android file transfer. the watch is charging but not showing on Macbook, Is there a way to rectify it, and how do i access the storage and delete the music from the stratos.
Are you using the original charger? Third party ones may not work for data transfers. If you are sure that your charger is fine, either check System Information -> USB to make sure the device is connected correctly. AFT sometimes hangs here, but disconnecting and reconnecting the watch fixes the problem without the need to restart my watch.

Same issue here, Stratos is charging but not accessible from Macbook, I'm using original charger, and both have the latest O.S. systems.

How do you know it's not accessible? Did you try adb and/or Android File Transfer? Does it work with another computer?
I have the same problem. Did you find the solution?
Just make sure that cradle (original charger) correctly snap in. No problem here with android file transfer, commander one, apkinstaller, adb or fastboot.
Same issue and I am using the only original charger there is. I am using the Android file transfer program directly downloaded from Amazfit website. Followed instructions 100% as written. Nothing.
If pressing the watch firmly after checking if both metallic pins on watch and cradle are clean, and also checked with another cradle and/or USB port, most probably it's due to an internal problem. You can still transfer files manually to and from watch using WiFi, probably there is a tutorial elsewhere about it.
I think this is a problem with the MacOS rather than the Amazfit. My Amazfit watch is recognised instantly in Android File Transfer, but AFT won't recognise my smartphone anymore. It used to work great, but suddently stopped working. I've tried all kinds of solutions and nothing works.
My watch has a terrible data connection with my mac as well. I think the contacts on the charging cradle don't work too well, because it maintains the connection if I hold it in the cradle tightly.
An easier solution is to go completely wireless. Turn on developer settings by tapping the build number. Then you should be able to get an adb connection over WiFi. Install File Manager +. It's got an ftp server that lets you transfer files directly.

Ever since upgrading to Autosync 3.7.1 I've found that I cannot Autosync after my PC (Thinkpad 600X / Windows 2000 Prof) comes out of hibernation. My T-Mobile PPCPE cradle is connected to the USB on my Thinkpad docking station at the office. Normally when I leave my office I just undock the notebook and then hibernate it. After I work at home I just hibernate it again and then plug it into the docking station when I get to the office and go.
Since Autosync 3.7.1, whenever I do this when I plug the PPCPE into the cradle Autosync does not find the device. Even the "Get Connected" function does not find it even though it scans the COM ports and USB and shows the USB is available (I know the USB is working as I have a desktop scanner connected to USB and it recovers find when I plug in).
If I restart the notbook from power-off everything is fine, just if it starts from hibernate. Anyone seen this behavior and have a solution?

I had the EXACT same problems under 3.7 when using the cradle and my HP laptop on W2K Pro. Was never able to resolve. I've been pretty mobile lately, haven't had the laptop in the dock for a few months, so I do all my synching via IrDA now.
Unfortunately, I was never able to resolve the issue, I'm sure if I was back on my dock, it would still be happening. I am making the switch to XP Pro this week, I'll let you know if that eliminates the problem.
Thanks, appreciate the reply. While it remains a problem, at least it sin't just MY problem
I was wanting to try and send a file from my phone to the tablet using blue tooth file transfer. I was able to pair my tablet to my phone through blue tooth but it will not connect once the process is done. On both devices it gave the same message to allow paring and the same identification number. I hit allow pair and it does. After that nothing happens. I hit the settings icon next to the paring and it only gives an option to unpair or rename the cell phone/pair connection.
I'm thinking it is not properly setting up the profile for the connection. When I go into the setting for my headphones it lists the profile and the options for it; voice chat, media, etc. Is this part of the problems people are having with the BT connections? Is there a setting I need to turn on or off somewhere is the OS of the tablet?
I'm using a Mytouch4g slide phone and looked on the phone to see what options are given. Hitting the paired icon for the table only gives the option to delete it. On there my connection to my laptop for blue tooth gives the profile options for transfers etc. When I get home I will try connecting the tablet to my laptop and see if the profile gets created. If it works then it has to be something between my phone and the tablet.
Connecting two complex devices like a phone and a tablet isn't (generally) the same as plugging in a USB device, or plugging a phone into a PC. The two devices will never show up as removable storage or an extra hard drive. They won't even actually be connected most of the time. However if they are paired they will "look" for each other and share files back and forth if you initiate a transfer.
Try sending a file from one device to the other.
In any file explorer, select the file you want to share, select share, select blue tooth and then select the paired device. If the two devices are properly paired you will get a message on the receiving device asking you if you want to accept the file and if you hit OK the file will be sent over the blue tooth connection.
Try the app "bluetooth file transfer" to do it. It's what I had to use to push the file from my phone to tablet through bluetooth.
I have my EVO3D paired and it always says its not connected but paired. When i ask to transfer a file (song, pic, comic, movie, etc...) it pops up to ask if i want to accept it. I press yes and it works.

I uninstalled that bluetooth file transfer app. Its buggy and doesn't seem to work. I just use the normal built in Bluetooth capabilities to transfer files, photos, movies, etc...works great. That one app is crap, IMO.

Must be user error. Took me all of 10 seconds to connect my thunderbolt and prime and start transferring a file.
It is not user error. I was again annoyed today that I couldn't get it work the first time and decided to tinker around again. Still same situation where it will pair and show the same security code on my phone and the tablet, sync/pair up, and that is it. After that it will not connect. It didn't matter if I tried to initiate the the connection from my phone or the tablet. But I did get a message on one attempt saying something to the effect of software preventing a connection.
I decided to try it with a coworkers phone and it was the same situation. It would discover the phone, pair, but not connect. That was another Android device. I then went to another who has an Iphone 3gs and got the same result. Except his phone gave the message saying the tablet is not supported. I'm going to try and include the picture in this post.
I tried a factory reset of the tablet thinking maybe there was something that went bonkers with the patches but that didn't work either. I'm not sure where the problem is. I've connected my phone to multiple bluetooth devices and no problems. I've only gotten the tablet to connect to my bluetooth headphones and that is it.
It would be nice to get the tablet to connect with my phone as I could then use bluetooth gps on it and do file transfers. I've tried the apps for doing such tasks and it won't sync up.

You don't need this app, bluetooth file sharing is built right into the Prime (and most Android devices).
Has anyone tried to use the usb to transfer huge file because to transer 400mb of info through bt would take a million years, I tired today to use the usb with my prime and evo and the tablet did not show me the file when I turned on the storage from the evo .
So right now had to take out the sd card which is anoying just wanted to know if anyone has been able to get this work.
What is strange is that I know the usb works fine since I have used my external harddrive and it works perfect. So I think there is something that has to do with the phone connection that it not tlakng to the tablet.

I had this problem while trying to BT connect my Transformer with my Wileyfox Swift, in order to test the "File-Go" beta App from Google. After many attempts I made some progress by simultaneously pressing pair on both machines. I was then able to share files via Bluetooth, although the "File-Go" App didn't allow BT transfer.
Hi
In the past week or so my HP TouchPad running CM9 has suddenly stopped being browsable in Windows Explorer. The cm_tenderloin device appears in the list of drives, but clicking reveals a white screen. MTP is selected on the Storage > USB computer connection screen.
Curiously, in the same time, my HTC HD7 has stopped syncing with Zune, so I suspect this is a USB related issue - can anyone point me in the right direction?
Try connecting while in webos with your USB if that doesn't work it would sound like there is a problem with the USB socket on your PC have you tried another socket on your PC or a different PC sometimes my laptop has a hissy fit and I have to use a different socket with hard drives etc . I would suggest doing that before worrying that your tablet has faulty socket.

I'm beginning to think that the issue is with Windows 7, tbh. Multiple cables and different ports have been tried, all to no avail. Something has corrupted the OS, I think. No viruses or malware are being detected, so I'm going to fall back on a reinstall (I keep my data off the system drive, so no biggy)
you can always connect over the network and browse everything on your device that way. i like es file explorer. just put the thouchpad in ftp mode then connect to it from the computer. also if you know how to use ./adb connections you can move files to and from the touchpad and browse the entire device that way.
When I plug USB cable to PC and Mido there is only charging avilable.
I had MTP(Media transfer protocol) selected while plugging in USB. Right now there is not reaction with computer.
I try to reconnect USB tapes but still the same.
Any ideas how to get connection with PC?
Hi, maybe you can try other USB cable first. If the same issue still happens, my suggestion is WiFi Transfer. Do remember to make sure your Mi phone and your computer are in the same network. Then you can ask help from a free backup tool like Coolmuster Android Backup Manager, which can help you transfer data like photos, videos, music, ebooks, contacts, text messages, app, etc from your Mi phone to your computer directly via WiFi connecting. About the details, please searching online. Good luck to you, and hope this will be your help.
What did you disassemble and why?
Start at the beginning...
Does anyone have issues with transferring files to a windows PC? I plug my phone in and under USB preferences its grayed out. I've tried the xperia companion and it seems like my device isn't recognized because the option to browse my files is grayed out too.
It happened to me because I was using the usb-c cable that comes with the same phone.
What I did was look for another usb-c cable that I had at home (from my Xperia 5) and when plugging it into Windows 10/11 it recognizes it perfectly and on the phone you put "Allow" and you can transfer files.
Apparently the cable that comes by default in the box with the Xperia 1 Mark III does not support data. Greetings

The cable that came with my Phone (Phone bought from sony partner from official site) wrk for file transfer without problem (under win 10 e win 11).
Maybe different market, different cable bundled in?
Yeah, I also bought it from the official Sony store via Amazon. When I plugged it in and saw that it didn't work for data (or for recovery via Xperia Companion) I started googling and investigating and the same thing happened to several users. Mine is the UK Bundle version.
It seems a normal problem on different phones. Usually, it will be solved when we change an offical USB cable. Or if your computer and your phone are in the same network, you can also try WiFi connecting. A third-party tool like Coolmuster Android Assistant allows us to do that. With its help, we can do that data transfer via WiFi connecting directly.
use adb push/pull commands much better.
I have the same problem in Linux, enabling USB debugging in developer options sometimes solves it. Very flakey however, its 10 years since I had as much trouble connecting a phone to a PC
