transfer mode in PC - Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I got my Mi4's display broken, so the touch doesn't work anymore. I want to save all the files in the PC, but when I connect the phone it's just in 'charger mode'. I cannot chose the option of 'transfer files to the pc' because the screen doesn't work.
Any ideas guys? That don't include changing the display
thanks

[SOLVED] Not able to connect diamond to system in 'Disk Drive' Mode

Hello Friends,
I got a new HTC Touch Diamond about two days ago. I'm very eager to transfer my songs to it and when I tried to do so by connecting the phone to the system in 'Disk Drive' mode, it didn't work.
Each time I would connect the phone to my system and select the Disk Drive mode, the below would happen:
1. I'll see a 'New Disk Drive found' notification in my system tray.
2. The add new hardware wizard would come up with a message stating that there was a problem installing the new drive.
These two steps would keep on repeating untill I unplug the phone.
Though, I can connect the phone in ActiveSync mode without any issues.
If anyone of you has faced this issue, please let me know what needs to be done? Am I missing something?
Note: I had an older version of ROM (ROM version: 1.93.720.2) when I got the phone and I updated to ROM version: 1.93.720.4. I faced this issue both the times.
I have never used the disk drive mode. This restricts you from doing many things. I would suggest transferring all your files through activesync in the normal "Explore" way. This way may take a bit longer to transfer your files, but you can also sync them (the music ones) with your pc if you have Vista.....

I agree that it applies a few restrictions, however, transferring files via this mode is much faster.
I appreciate your reply, yet I need to get the disk drive mode working.
Thanks,

try changin another usb port, i suspect the port is faulty.. or change another cable.. i encounter such issue before and it turn out dat my usb port is acting weird..
Is possible to have an issue with windows drivers.
If the phone is working in active sync mode with the same port and cable, is not that.
While is connected as Disk Drive in device manager in USB section are you seeing it as storage?
If is there try from computer management\disk management to see if the partition from the phone is ok.
Best regards,

This problem is solved for me now.
It appeared that the problem lay with my system and not the phone. I removed unneccesary programs and "cleaned" my system by using a trial version of System Mechanic v8.
I tried connecting after and now both disk drive mode and activesync mode work for me.
Thanks,

cannot connect to PC

Recently I have not been able to connect my diamond to my pc via USB in either active sync mode or disk drive mode. I can connect my touch HD normally but not my diamond.
What am I to do?
When I connect it via disk drive mode my computer says usb device it says something like cannot recognize device or something like that.
My main concern is backing up the my pictures folder then I can hard reset the device but not before copying the pictures.
Thanks
Maybe this will help

[Q] Why can't I use the USB storage on my phone ?

I can't access the USB storage on my phone. Nothing works. 2.2 Froyo.
I need to transfer some files off it (music) to my desktop but I can't access it --- anyone know why ?
With a post count like yours you'd probably know better but did you put it into USB Debugging mode by any chance? Did you pull down the status bar and press on the USB connection thing?
Try restarting your computer, it happens me to sometimes also.
How long ago did it last work?
Did you try plugging it into a different PC?
Do you see the USB connect button once you plug the USB?
Until you get to the bottom of it, as a workaround you can change the USB mode to Kies and transfer files.

Wireless Media Transfer: Cannot Pair With Windows 7 PC

I have a new Z3C and want to use the Wireless Media Transfer option but I cannot get the device to pair with a Windows 7 x64 PC (I've tried two PCs now). I have the device in MTP mode, but when I right-click on "Xperia Z3 Compact" and choose the "Network Configuration" option the wizard hangs while trying to transfer the settings. I even installed PC Companion, and made sure everything is up-to-date but I just cannot get it to work.
I want to use this feature so I can access my micro SD card without messing with the flaps: transferring music and tag editing using mp3tag are essential to me and I don't want to wear out those delicate little flaps!
Well I tried pairing wireless with Win. 7 and failed too, don't know exactly what's the problem. My suggestion would be to use ES explorer though. You can add your PC to the LAN tab by entering the internal IP and just copy to the internal memory (no SD card access thanks to Google). From there the preinstalled File Commander can move your music to SD.

Had the same issue on Win7, hang while transferring settings. On the 3rd attempt it did pair successfully. I noticed that windows was installing a device driver on the first pairing attempt, maybe that just needed to complete first.
The Transfer Settings stage does take a while, so it may just look like it's hanging. How long did you try it? Also you may need to allow portable devices access in your firewall (as the popup advises).
I left it a good 10 minutes. No drivers were being installed and no firewall popups appeared (I don't use the Windows software firewall).
Same here (64bit) win 8.1 I let it run until the 'can't complete' dialogue shows
Having the same issue here - anyone else fixed it until now ?
It happens to me at first... But if you will make screen time out more like 10 + min, while pairing configuration it does connect. Its because of screen goes off then it wont connect.

What helped me was making sure the screen didn't turn off, might be an idea too to temp disable Stamina while it goes through its process, it does take a while.

I had the same problem, solved it this way (hope I remember correctly)
on phone:
- set screen sleep to 30 minutes (Settings - Display - Sleep)
- turn off stamina mode (Settings - Power Management)
-plug into PC with USB
on PC:
- "Computer", right click "Xperia Z3 Compact" and select "Network Configuration"
- Click through with "Next/OK" until you get the screen that says something about "transfering settings" (or something like that) where it seemed to hang on previous attempts.
...and now the most important part - WALK AWAY!! Make a sandwich or something, come back in 30 mins and all should be OK - it's not actually hanging, just looks unresponsive while it does it's thing - be patient.
Good luck!
I did pair with PC using USB. The problem I have is that it hangs for 1 or 2 minutes while trying to connect to PC with WI-FI. Then it fails. I try for like 15 times, then for no reason it works. It only happens when I'm using my home wi-fi. I tried to connect with a friend's wifi, and it worked in a few seconds.

Can I turn on usb file transfer on a Galaxy Note 5 with a broken screen?

Hi,
I am in dire need of assistance. My note 5 fell from about 30 meters and the screen was BROKEN and actually was SEPARATED from the body of the phone. To my utter amazement, the phone is still working. The phone charges normally, can be powered on and shutdown, can be unlocked by connecting a keyboard through an OTG cable, the speaker still works, and the vibration still works. There is no custom recovery on the phone and it's not rooted
I desperately need the data that's on the phone. I have tried using smart switch but it shows a message telling me that "USB file transfer" is not allowed. I tried using ADB but the phone is not detected when I use the adb devices command
All I need is a way to enable usb file transfer so I can backup the data on the phone using smart switch or a way to copy all the files from the phone.
CAN ANYBODY HELP ME?
