I have attempted to sync music for two days now with no success. It recognizes the phone in WMP and when I drag the music into the SYNC window it all shows correctly. Even says how much space will be left. After hitting sync it says "sync complete you can disconnect the device now" but nothing happens. Anybody else had the problem and found a solution. Or any ideas?
Did you ever get this to work? I right now am trying to sync my phone to WMP and WMP won't recognize it. I have Windows 7 32bit. The phone gets recognized easily when it put it in Mass Storage mode. When I put it in media mode the PC makes the sound that a USB device was detected, but nothing happens.
I haven't installed any USB drives, but what I see they are for XP and Vista.
Anyone know what I could be doing wrong?
Also I am using the Samsung launcher and not any other one when I am doing this, don't know if it matters.
If you are running a launcher other than TW it won't show up as a syncable device in WMP when you connect with media mode. There is a pop up message but its easy to miss.
You need to run launch switcher and make sure you are using TW Launcher and then plug in the USB cable and WMP should see your device.
Hope that helps.

If you are in mass storage mode, once you plug your Captivate into the PC, a notification will appear in the notification bar. Slide down the notifications and press it. This will mount your internal and external SD cards so your PC can see them. Syncing with WMP should work then.
Thanks! I got it working but not sure what I did to make it work, as you will see I did several things:
1) I uninstalled the MGtek Dopisp or whatever that program was that would allow iPods to sync to WMP
2) Then I installed the X86 drives for Samsung phones
3) It TRIED the MTP connection but Windows driver install failed again on the driver when I tried using my phone as a media player.
So I tried it again as a Mass Storage Device and it actually showed up in WMP and I was pleseantly suprised it let me since to either the internal memory or SD card.
So the problem I'm having with my infuse is that the disk drives (E:/F are not showing up in Windows Explorer. I've done some trial and error to diagnose the problem but I'm currently at a loss. Here's what I know:
The cable is fine, I just purchased to new cable to make sure that it wasn't the problem after I thought that the original cable was the issue.
The phone works perfectly fine on linux, I'm able to mount the two devices (/dev/sdb, /dev/sdc) without problems and transfer files without any delay or trouble.
In windows the computer recognizes when the phone is plugged in and if you go into "Printers and Devices" you can see the "Samsung_Android" device. If you right click on it before you turn on USB storage on the device the context menu pops up and you can go into properties and see that all the functions are recognized for the phone, (two disk drives (it recognizes them as E and F), modem, two mtp devices, etc.)
Once you enable USB mass storage on the phone you can no longer right click on the device and see properties, if you do it takes a minute or two for the menu to pop up and clicking anything in the menu makes the lag unuseable.
Sometimes drive E: will show up in Explorer but not F: and when I click on it it still just stalls in loading the drive.
If I go into command line and type "e:" on windows to cd to that drive it also just stalls out rather than saying that the drive has not been found.
If I go into the disk manager to see if maybe it's just a drive name conflict in the management console it doesn't load because the manager just stalls out at "Connecting to Virtual Disk Manager Service"
I was originally having this problem on stock rooted FROYO, I was able to use Kies (through the same windows machine) and upgrade to stock GB but on GB I was still having the problem. Then I switched over to the stock rooted GB rom and I'm also still having the problem.
I'm pretty convinced the problem has to do with windows not my phone because I seem to have isolated it to just this windows install (I haven't had the opportunity to try on another windows machine but I figure it will probably work fine there) since it can't be due to the cable or a faulty Froyo/GB install.
Do you have any ideas on how I can fix this? I'll gladly provide anymore information regarding my problem if you think it will help.
Windows....sux dont it...
I would uninstall all phone drives....download new set...reinstall....and see what happens.
And like you said....i would try another windows pc....
So I'm having a strange and annoying problem with my sgs3, I'm running windows xp, and when I connect my phone it shows up in 'my computer' as SCH-I535. The problem is, when I open that folder.. it is empty (shows no directories at all) when I'm connected as media device. However, if I switch from media device to camera and back to media device, I am then able to see the directories.. This is extremely annoying to have to do this every time I connect my phone in order to transfer files. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers twice, with reboots and all.. Still doing the same thing. If anyone could help me figure this out, It'd be MUCH appreciated.
I'm making an android application but I'm having trouble connecting my phone up to get it running. I can throw my phone in Developer Mode and turn on USB Debugging etc. but I don't think it installs the drivers to run the application. When I run my application and pick a target -> Active Devices it will tell me that I have no active devices
I did some research and Motorola wants me to download some kind of boot device but I wasn't sure if it was some slick way for them to butt into what I'm doing or if I actually need it. Hoping for help / walkthrough on how to get my phone working with Eclipse.
Phone - Motorola Droid Razr M 4.1.1
Eclipse - Juno
PC - Windows 7
EDIT: I actually had to install the Motorolla Media Manager to get the drivers installed so that it worked with Eclipse. There might be a way I guess to do it without the media manager but I guess it doesn't take up too much space.
My Oneplus One had water damage and the screen shorted. It appears to still be working behind the scenes - I can turn it off and on, it makes sounds and lights for notifications, etc. - but the screen is completely black and unusable. Luckily, most of my stuff was backed up to the cloud, but I still have a few files I'd like to get off it if I can. Does anyone have any idea how?
I had ADB, etc. set up on my Win 7 work computer, so I was going to use that, but whenever I plug it in, the computer wants to download and install an MTP driver, fails to do so, and leaves me unable to access the phone. I tried plugging it into my Win 10 personal computer and it shows up as a "functioning" MTP device in Device Manager, but not in Windows Explorer, so I'm not sure how to access anything on it. I installed the Samsung ADB drivers but it won't let me update the drivers for my MTP device at all, so I don't know how to associate them with the phone.
After reinstalling some drivers I can get it to connect as MTP. However, I'm not trying to download videos or photos. I'd primarily like to download some saved game files, and see what text messages I may have missed in the 3 weeks or so it took me to get a new phone (I had a temp phone with a different number during that time). Does anyone have any idea how I can do this? Is there a way to use the computer to switch the connected mode or to pull this info while in MTP?
