Coping files over USB from PC - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This is the stupidest question ever I have to ask here, but how to copy files to the tablet from pc?
When I connect the usb to pc, the 'USB debugging connected' pops out on my galaxy and only this.
In my other bizzilion android devices it usualy also asks if I want to 'Turn on USB Storage', which is what I need.

Turn off usb debugging and everything is fine!

even though if usb debugging is "on" u can mount it by the pull down and select copy files , if you wanna use kies and even though in debugging mode you can use your kies , but go to settings\app\dev and un-check debugging mode ,
settings\wireless and networks\USB go check there and click on ask me

as many times i need to plug the mobile in different PCs and it is not possible to install kies on all of the the PC
so is there any application available which can help me out
thanks in advance
You can, go to setting under about phone, select mass storage. The only let down is you need samsung driver, which u can download it on softpedia

Enable usb debugging and plug usb into BACK PANEL of motherboard to recogonise.......or go to settings and use which way to connect when usb is plugged in, should give a mass storabe option

To use as mass storage - I use mine with Linux, for example:
Settings -> About phone -> USB Settings
CHOOSE "MASS STORAGE" HERE
Then, go to Settings -> Applications -> Development
ENABLE "USB DEBUGGING" HERE
Then to use the internal storage, plug into your computer. On the Galaxy, you should see a notification "USB Connected". Use the pull-down notification bar at the top to see this.
Click on "USB Connected" in the notifications list. You should be given the option, "Mount".
Click on the "Mount" button and your computer will find the Galaxy's internal flash memory. Now you can drag/drop files without using the ****ty Samsung drivers.
Confirmed working on Ubuntu 10.04 and Windows XP.

Removable Disk vs Galaxy Note when connecting to PC

When conecting my Note to a Winows PC via USB, on some computers I get 2 Removable Disks (i.e. E: & F, and in which to enable these drives to be viewed, I have to go to the alert screen on my Note and select enable USB.
Other times when connecting the Note to a PC, I get a Samsung Note listed un My Computer, and in that case I can just click on it and it will allow me to view contents of Note without having to enable it via the phone.
Any idea why this is?
Thanks
do you have usb debugging enabled?
The first Option called Mass Storage (Faster file transfer)
And the second one called MTP (Media Transfer Protocol).

Aha...
When I have USB Debgging on I get the the Mass Storage (phone shows up as removable disk) and when I have USB Debugging off I get the MTP (phone shows as GT-N7000)....
Thanks to you both!
Was searching for the same..glad you have posted...thanks guys!!!

Advantage of MTP is, while trying to copy some media files it ll ask you to "convert and copy". so that Note can play that media file.
To add to it!! MTP mode is slower than usb mode and while on MTP mode u can access the card on phone and computer simultaneously!!

This is not the case for me
I have USB Debgging enabled, since I use adb for some stuff, however, usb will always be in MTP mode!
i disabled USB Debgging and tried it then enabled it again but it is always in MTP.
does anyone know why?
i am using rooted stock rom.

Bub,
Before you connect the cable open settings> wireless and network > usb utility > connect usb storage then it will ask you to connect the cable. Connect the cable and it should mount the phone as usb storage...
Hit thanks if it helped
Peave out!!

"wireless and network" OMG, i remember seeing the usb setting somewhere then i looked all over but of course not inside "wireless and network" !! why here, should be under storage or something more related...
anyway, thanks for the help
I think i have similar problem here. The only thing is that i could not connect to Samsung Kies. When I try to troubleshot it, connection error occurs.
What would I possibly do about it?

I would suggest checking the settings (developer options) make sure USB debugging is unchecked, which seems to put the device into mass storage mode

i already tried that but.... nothing
I also had the same problem......
Try all USB ports u have on your PC
One of them will surely work as it worked for me....
If it works keep that USB port reserved for tab...do not use any dial up or something like that.....
Try it .....

But no matter what I choose,It does't work.
And when I run adb command(usb debug on) , It shows "device not found".

I had changed ports ,and USB cable
And windows xp and win 8.
But It's the same.
are you using the stock usb cable?
are you running a rom?
what recovery are you using?
if you have a custom recovery hook your phone up to your computer and boot your phone into recovery either cwm or safestrap
go to mounts and storage and try to mount sdcard and see if that works
p.s
make sure usb debugging is enabled and check mass storage in the drop down
Was there ever a solution found? My droid 3 for some reason the usb debugging isn't working, the computer sees it and I can access my files, but debugging won't enable. I turned it on and off in settings a bunch of times and tryed a few different drivers

It should work out of the box, unless you have JB ROM. In that case, follow this:

Check if you dont have Fast Charge ON. Fast Charge have to be turned OFF.
I have Mivv's Unofficial CM10.1 Build beta 7 and Kowalski Kernel. I have PSP Fast CHarge turned off

I've got the app but when I'm mounting my device I get an error in terminal that permision denied and unable to initialize device
MTP or Mass Storage
1. First you need to be sure that the USB Fast Charge is switched off ( if you're using Kowalski Kernel ).
2. If you connecting using MTP, you will need some tools. Use gMTP. Either you can mount your MTP device as directory using mtpfs. Follow this instruction: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2055563
3. If you want to connect using UMS (USB Mass Storage), you need to switch it in Settings->Storage->USB computer connection (context menu)->Mass Storage. Or just select this method in stock firmware dialog. Then you need to reconnect your device and select usb storage in status bar.
4. If you have problem with all these methods, you can use ADB (Android Debug Bridge) to manage your files. Just enable USB Debugging mode in Settings->Developers options(switch it on)->Android debugging. Then install android sdk tools in your system.
Follow this instruction. http://www.xda-developers.com/android/installing-adb-on-ubuntu-the-easy-way/. Then use adb pop and adb push commands to manage with your content.
5. If you have problem with all of this method, you can use AirDroid application and manage your files wirelessly using Wi-Fi.

Have a good luck, mate!
I just needed to enable USB debuging. I enabled it and it solved all the problem
Hi,
I'm using CM 7.2 and I can't access any mass storage - phone > PC USB connection at all. Any ideas?
