Hi all,
So I finally updated my TF101 to 9.2.1.21 the other day, and then did a factory reset. The only thing I've done to it since my last update was root it, and then saved it with OTA Rootkeeper.
While I was busy setting everything back up, I noticed that I forgot to backup my music so I connected my TF to my computer, it gets detected fine as usual, and I can open up all the directories and stuff.
However, when I try to copy music over to the internal SD card, it shows the progress bar for the transfer but it doesn't progress at all. It doesn't matter whether I try with 1 file or many files; nothing ever gets transferred no matter how long I wait. Eventually, when I try and cancel it, it also seems to hang until I have to force close it.
This used to work fine on the USB port that I'm plugged into on my computer, but I did try out a few other ports too and same thing.
I would appreciate any help/insight.
Thanks in advance!
I've been having the same problem actually, except when I go to transfer a file, Windows Explorer stops working. It's really obnoxious. My temporary workaround is to transfer files directly to an SD card and then move them over using the on-board File Manager to the internal storage.
That's what I ended up resorting to, but that sucks.
Going from a single-step process to multi-step.
Thanks anyways.

Recently I've been unable to transfer any files over about 200k to my external or internal memory over USB.
It was working fine before (I transferred over a 630meg rom), but now it just gives me an error saying "The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected"
I'm even having trouble transferring files to my extSD over kies as it keeps crapping out.

Same thing has been happening to me today. I seriously cannot transfer anything with this MTP crap. I have tried re flashing to stock rom, even completely reinstalled windows on my new samsung SSD and the same end result. All I can do now is pop my micro SD into my USB adapter and transfer files that way. Annoying but it gets the job done I suppose.

OK so after a reboot I can transfer files internally again. No idea what was the problem that caused it to happen all day.
Still can't transfer anything to my extSD.
I agree this new way of doing file transfer sucks, it is very slow but if I have time it does work fully for me.
I transfered 8 gigs of blue-ray movie rips to my 64 gig card a few days ago through USB & all the files work just fine.
I don't know how long it took, as I hooked it up through USB, set it to copy & then went to bed. It was complete the next morning

Tried multiple times copying the Synergy 1.7 Rom zip file to my extSDCard. Got to 60 seconds left and then gave me the error.
Tried about 10 plus times and still the same error. Sometimes it would get to about 50% done then the copying time would just keep increasing and finally crash.
Sometime I would have to remove the battery to reboot as it would lock up the phone because it was stuck trying to MTP sync. WTF?!?!
I have been having troubles also.....I cant copy files to sdcard or ext/sdcard with my pc(windows 7). I formatted the ext/sdcard w/ the phone and put in the slot on my pc and did a quick format FAT32. The error i get is "Cannot copy item.....The device has either stopped working or has been removed". I can remove the sdcard put in my pc and copy files with no issue(other than its a pain in the ass). I wonder if its a batch of bad devices???? I had the problem on stock and same running Synergy 1.6.......
So in preparation for backing up my internal storage for 4.2.1 in case it messes up or I do I was planning on copying everything from my internal device storage onto my computer. When going through the folders to see which ones were empty and I didn't need to copy I came across a folder that I had deleted the contents of earlier that day. Thinking I may have not actually deleted it I did it again.
Before copying the information over I went to check to make sure I had my backup of my nova launcher and noticed it wasn't there, I went to make another backup when I hit restore just to check that there was a back up and there was, and in the folder I had just looked on in my computer.
It was then I realized that the data my computer showed was very old files, things I had deleted months ago and some of the newer files were not being shown. I also noticed that old videos and pictures showed in my gallery app even though I knew I deleted them. I tried rebooting my tablet disconnecting it from my computer and reconnecting it and to no avail I also cleared the gallery app data and that seemed to fix the phantom videos and pictures in the app.
If anyone knows what is going on and how I can correct this issue that would be helpful as it does not seem to be an issue with my phone, Galaxy S3.
Thanks,

You are using MTP connection to delete files/folder or just a file manager? I had similar issues when i was using my PC to delete stuff from the internal storage so you could try to use a file manager and see if it solves the issue.
I do delete stuff from es file manager, I rarely connect my tablet to my computer but when I do its using MTP and only to put files onto the internal storage or sd card.
The gallery thing happens to more people, we have a thread about a multi-GB cache file somewhere around here.
I have never had it show old files on my pc though. Have you tried rebooting your computer? (I feel a bit like the microsoft helpdesk for saying that... xD) Oh, and a registry cleaner might fix the issue. (for the pc, not the tab.)
I have had my sgs3 not showing up at all every once in a while (i use mtp a lot), but thats probably me being an idiot and killing the media storage process again. (I clear out all non-essential processes when gaming.).

I haven't tried rebooting my computer after plugging my tablet it, but I normally turn it off every night and as I said before I rarely plug my tablet it so I don't think it's a cache issues. I'll clean out my registry and maybe I'll uninstall the drivers for my tablet and let them reinstall too.
I was able to fix the issues by switching usb ports I plugged it into, it started showing the proper files when I plugged it into the first usb too. I took a picture while still connected to the first usb port and it showed up in internal storage in my computer so I don't think it's a usb problem.
Thanks for the info on the gallery issue, maybe this cache file and issues I'm having are connected some how.
Could someone give me a theory as to what happened?
I had screwed up my Huawei again.
I had sorted out a problem I had with an app after changing primary storage from internal to sd when I was installing any new apps.
After it got done, I noticed a little box kept coming up saying I only had 1.88g left.
Like 1.88gigs is a miniscule amount.
Well the system reports the internal 16g had 5+g open, the sd 32g had 27g or so open and my 128g usb thumb drive had the 1.88g.
I don't understand why it seems to be thinking it's putting installs on the usb because it's set for the 32g sdcard to be the primary storage.
So I went through my apps and started using the ICS settings to move apps to the sd.
I must have moved some that don't like the sd. One that doesn't (I know now) is google play services.
I went round and round trying to fix that and finally did by restoring a backup from 3-4 weeks ago but it didn't fix everything.
The services worked again along with the play store....... well the play store works when I DON'T have the usb drive mounted.
When it's mounted the play store app opens but won't connect.
Oh. And it also restarts over and over.
When the usb's mounted it restart after about 30 seconds. When it's not it restarts after about 2-2.5 minutes.
After almost a day trying to fix this, I got irritated with it so I decided I was going to try to use the automatic recovery.
I grabbed the firmware from Huawei's website on my PC and took out my SD card.
I did not see a 'dload' folder so I put it in the 'Download' folder. Put the card back in the tablet and tried to start the recovery.
I had the unlmt.cfg in there too but it did not automatically start so I tried again while keeping the volume pressed and it started.
But after about 3-5 seconds it came up with the FAIL message.
So I figure that maybe it DOES need to be 'dload'. So when it finishes rebooting I make a 'dload' folder and copy those files in there before it rebooted again.
Which while I'm doing I also notice that under 'mnt' the files are in the 'sdcard' folder and not the 'sdcard2' folder which is where I thought it was mounted before.
I guess when I switched primary storage to the sdcard it made the card mount under sd instead of sd2?
So I had pulled the card out and was going to investigate that, but before I did, I decided to put it back in.
When it rebooted this time while I was starting the file manager when I noticed it was connecting and download app updates which it was doing before but when it tried to install them
before it kept failing but this time it was successful.
So I kept watching it and everything seems to be corrected now.
It's not rebooting by itself. It connects everytime. Installs are all successful.
What the hell happened?
Did the few seconds that recovery mode was active maybe fix some kind of file system problem?
Does Android have some sort of 'healing' code built in that makes it eventually repair itself if it finds problems?
Is the Android system alive and had seen that I was going to redo the system and got scared so it started behaving? (Joke of course)
I don't get it.
Can anyone give me some kind of theory as to what might have happened? Please?
Because I'm afraid to reboot it again for fear of it being some sort of fluke.
ANY ideas will be greatly appreciated.

I was just putting some more music on my OnePlus One (using MTP on my pc) when I got slightly irritated of all the junk folders on it. I decided I should clean some of them.
After I finished copying my music I noticed my phone couldn't access the internal SD anymore. I did a reboot, same thing. It kind of shows my SD now, but it's almost empty...
When I attach it to my pc, I see the same (almost none) files.
Anyone an idea what I did wrong, and how to fix?
Many thanks in advance.
Have you tried using fastboot to go back to stock? You will lose all of your data if you do this, so hopefully you have a backup on your pc. It seems like something happened with your partitions when you were deleting stuff.
Hi,
I've got an nVidia Shield Tablet (not rooted) with a 64GB card formatted as internal storage.
In the past two days or so I have noticed that the battery drains surprisingly fast, and have noticed that it is rebooting by itself, particularly when I'm trying to copy files over.
I'm leaving tonight for a couple of months so I was loading some useful documents and files but then realized that not only was it rebooting often, but none of the files were retained after the tablet reboots itself. I tried to delete some files and when it rebooted those files reappeared too. In file manager the storage space is now at a constant 38.08GB, if I add anything or delete anything when it reboots it just goes back to that 38.08GB mark and all the other file changes would have been lost. However, all the videos / documents / pictures / apps that I had on there still all work with no problems.
Oh and as I was playing with it just now Google Play Services just crashed, which was something that I had seen once before in the last couple of days as well.
Are there any diagnostics tests I can run? I tried mounting the SD card on my PC but since it's formatted as internal storage it could not be recognized by Windows so chkdsk does not work.
Any help would be appreciated! I really hope I can get this sorted out before I have to leave, since I was really counting on being able to use it to do some work. Thanks!
Edit: It seems to have fixed itself somehow... how odd.
