can't transfer files from phone to pc, - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Hi, i have a problem about transfer my fotographs from phone to pc. When i plugged usb cable, the phone starts just charging. I've checked several time to usb settings, MTP is open. I tried different cable and pc's. I'm definitely sure problem caused by the phone. Do you have any idea how to fix this ? I can not use smart switch at the same time.

Try wiping the Cache Partition in Recovery Mode. Or use a different cable.

Different cable is not working, i' m going to try wipe cache partition. Someone told me that, when you plugged phone to pc, if you can not choose connecting USB section in connections >
internet sharing, your usb port might be corrupted. I' m afraid of the port is corrupted.

Any solution??

Go into settings and make sure developer options is enabled and then actually go into developer options and scroll down until you see default USB connection and choose one while the phone is plugged into the computer if it already says transfer files then change it to charge mode and then change it back to transferring files and see if that works. If that doesn't work then open the dialing pad and put *#0808# and choose MTP + ADB or switch it back and forth.

[RESOLVED] USB not working

I've having a problem with my PC not picking up my phone when plugged up. It will charge, but that's it. I don't get the drop down box to select my connection mode. Here's my setup:
Android version 2.3.4
Gingervolt 2.0
SW version: VS910ZV7
Debug enabled
Default connection mode is internet connection
Connected straight to USB port (no hub involved)
I've tried taking the battery out for a few minutes and that didn't work. I've tried toggling the default connection mode, but that does nothing.
I'd like to upgrade my CWM, but can't because of this.
Any ideas?
***EDIT***
Well for some odd/unknown reason my USB connection is working again! I have done nothing to my phone since flashing Break Out ROM 1.1 a while back and the USB was still broken after that. So, while this makes absolutely no sense at all, I'm thrilled to have it back!

If you want drop down box to select connection mode then go to settings/connectivity and check always ask (if its not already checked) i dont think the computer will show its connected unless mass storage is selected and your sd cards show up on computer. When in internet mode its probably fine just run the program to install cwm recovery. Thats what i did to make sure computer was reading the phone. Someone else may have better input on the subject

I've had problems before when not using the original LG cord. Are you using something other than that?
"always ask" is checked, but it never asks when I plug it up to my PC. If I switch default connection mode to mass storage my PC doesn't pick up my SD card either. So mass storage nor internet connection mode works. It will however, at least charge.
Yes, I'm using an original LG usb cable.
Have you verified the SD Card actually works by going into a File Manager and seeing if you can read the files in your SD Card?
Yes the SD card works. I can browse the files on it with Root Explorer and CWM picks up the backup images on it.

Have you only tried 1 port on the PC or multiple? If you can, try a different port or a different PC.

I should have included that in my original post. I have tried every USB port on 3 different PC's. Two HP's and one Dell.
Any other suggestions? I've been searching the net for days now and can't find a solution. I'm beginning to think I have a hardware problem. Is there any chance this could be a software/configuration problem?

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!!
SHOT from my LOADED GT-N7000!!
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?

connected to the computer with a USB connection

When I connected to the computer with a USB connection, the phone is restarted.Even 2 wipe and flash twice rom , or the same result.I think it might be the USB drive problem.How should I do next step ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1500771
try to mount usb, with clockwork mod recovery, and download a new rom to try, or maybe another kernel, to see if the same problem happens

You perhaps have a ROM that offers UsbMass Storage in settings but a standard kernel that doesn't have the feature. Check in Settings, Storage, menu button to unveil the USB connection menu and check MTP.
Or flash an UMS kernel like Harsh or Jarvis.

[Q] not getting detected by any PC via USB

My S Advance I-9070 recently got formatted. I was able to recover my installed Apps, photos, music via gmail account. However Contacts which were on the phone, couldn't get restored. Since i have a contacts.spb recent copy, on my PC, tried to connect S Advance to this PC and it is not getting detected as additional device. The Samsung Kies software also doesn't recoganize the phone. Except that the phone battery gets charged when connected. I tried different cables and PCs, and took to a service center, this phone didn't get recognised. I have backed up all data to SD card on the phone. Is this a new issue with S Advance ?
Please help.

Try to turn USB debbuging on, and see if something shows up in Windows explorer.
If you are on JB: Settings> Developer Options> USB Debugging

Try this one
This is when your Samsung not popup usb notifier at phone upper menu bar.
Resolution
1. Unplug the USB cable
2. On the cell phone, dial the following number: *#7284#
Once the last # is hit, the PhoneUtil application is launched. Choose USB -> Modem and then USB -> PDA mode.
The good mode should be PDA. Even if the mode is PDA, switch to Modem and then back to PDA.
3. Plug the USB cable.
Try settings-more settings under wireless and network. There are 2 to try. Usb utilities if that does not work. Try turning kies on or off on the phone. No idea why but kies on the phone does it on both computers I use with my 9070. Drivers can be a real pain for this too. When i upgraded to LQG I had to update the drivers too, but that could be my computer too.

[Help] USB Storage not mounting

Lately my PC refuses to detect any USB connection when I connect phone via USB cable. It charges and if I enable USB debugging I get a notification for that too but the USB utilities thing won't pop up that lets you choose the mode of connection(Mass storage etc.)
I have installed/reinstalled drivers over and over. Eventually it was working but now it won't even work once.
I need help!
Mounting from recovery does nothing either
On custom ROM (RRemix )
EDIT: Let windows update pick the drivers and now can connect as MTP device BUT still no USB utilities (Rom is cm11 based) so i don't really know what else to do :/

Can you elaborate? I don't understand your answer
Anything I flash seems to aggravate the issue. Working fine for now after I installed kies but I am scared to flash anything else.
I dont know what the problem is/was. Can someone please help?
