I am wondering why I cant view the pic once phone is hooked to USB? I mean I cant see what pic it is from browsing phone from PC unless i click on it
Which usb setting are you using? When set to mts I believe mine was the same. If you switch to the camera protocol you should be able to preview the photo.

Im on MTP...I tried PTP but no go.. I open my phone on extsdcard from PC(windows vista) and still cant see the photo when i say i dont see the photo I mean i have to click on the pic an open it just to see which pic it is....versus on my pc when i open my pic folder it automatically shows the pic of all pics in that folder
My results were the same using that connection method. Ptp worked for me to see the photo preview. I'm hoping the devs keep working on opening up ums protocol.

Help how to do screenshot??
Hello, are you temp rooted? or stock?
Shoot me, is a great app but requires root
I use Android SDK, which doesn't require root, but does need a connection to a computer.

Awww, I thought the screen capture would be like in the iPhone where you could just use 2 buttons..
My phone explorer does a great job. But you also must connect to your pc.

Anyone know of a video screen capture program???? One the indicated where you pressed/dragged would be great.

I'm missing something obvious probably.. I've tried ddms and my phone explorer.. both launch and I see the GUI, but neither sees my Sensation.
I do have the SDK (and JDK) installed. WinXP7x64
MyPhoneExplorer has to be installed on both computer & phone. make sure to open the program on both. For the screen shot you need to be plugged in via USB (just choose disk drive when the option pulls up on your phone)
Has anybody noticed that in the libs we have a screenshot lib?
libScreenshotUtil.so to be exact.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using Tapatalk
It says on htc's site that you are able to take a screenshot with the power key and (menu? Volume? I forget). However, when I tried it, I couldn't get it to work. I just use the sdk.

Someone noted when the phone first came out that it was commented out on some build.prop file.

yep... tho I confess it did take me a while to figure out where that moved.. reminded me I should try ddms again.. still no joy there either.
When I connect the USB cable, I do see "USB debugging connected"
I'd love to be able to take a screenshot to show ya
and well, adb isn't working either.. not sure what is wrong...
EDIT: reinstalled SDK.. no joy.. I can USB connect as disk drive and see the device that way.. so USB is not completely dead..
Try to connect with my phone explorer through wifi. I know both apps have to be open. I sometimes have to click connect more than once on the pc for it to actually connect.
Also make sure on the computer app you have it set to connect to android and not a sony ericsson. That's in the settings.

There is an app called "No Root Screenshot It" on the market. It has a PC program that you download too. The difference is however, with this program you just plug the phone to PC, run the program on PC & then you can make screenshots until your next reboot without having to be wired to the PC.
**This is extremely simular to the temp root process available**
I would recommend temp rooting it, and using a program like drocap2 after root.
Since the process is almost identical it would only make sense to root and give yourself access to better suited programs than "No Root Screenshot It" which is limited in its abilities.
Finally....
What I finally ended up doing, after reinstalling the SDK and the google USB driver (it refused to ever use/install the google usb driver), was to go to HTC and get HTC Sync
http://www.htc.com/www/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=1073&news_id=918
I installed that.. unplugged and re-plugged the phone and Win7 finally did a driver install which did not fail.
Now I can use ADB and ddms, so I can take screenshots that way.
thanks for all the suggestions!
drocap2 works great on temp rooted Sensation

Thank you very much for recommending drocap2 (can be downloaded it via Android Google Market).
I installed it after temp root via Eugene373's posted method.
I did find that I had to disable SU notification setting else the "toast" or "notification bar" gets into the screen shot.
I used shake trigger for the lock screen while other screens, I prefer to use the notification bar trigger. Works great!

U don't need an app or root. The sensation has the screenshot function included in the phone. Just hold down the power button THEN hit the home key. I had previously thought you have to press the 2 together to take the shot....but it's not. That should take your screenshot and saved in your camera shots folder. Hope that helps
It seems no matter what I do, my PC, & a few others, just WILL NOT recognize my Verizon S3! Yes, the Samsung drivers have been installed in all of them. I am at my witt's end with this phone. #Ugh!!!
PS: I am pretty sure I have been through every single "option" within the settings, & I cannot find anything to help. If I drop the pull-down menu, & If I catch it quick enough, I can tap the USB icon & be taken to a screen where I have a choice for either "media" or "camera" whatnot.

I'm may be wrong but I seem to recall reading that there is a technical limitation preventing this. I gave up and just used kies.
It could be your PC sucks... or u have a service disabled

I thought I'd mention this just in case ... if you plug your phone in while the screen is locked you'll need to unlock it to get the volumes to mount and appear in explorer.
If you are running XP or later you should not have to load any special USB drivers to make mass storage work.

You could also try putting the w phone in it usb debugging mode and let the computer auto detect and install drivers just in case.

Neither comment is helpful. Especially since he said he tried other computers.
OP, my Sprint S3 connects automatically with USB Debugging enabled on the phone so I don't have to hit anything on the phone. Then a popup shows up on Windows asking what I want to do.
FNM
Try this maybe if u havent already...
Sorry to hear that. Normally when I plug in my S3 to my Win7 Laptop, It just detects and auto-play pops open with what I want to do.
You should try plugging the S3 into the back of the computer and also deleting the drivers that were installed from the phone already and re-installing.

Have you tried a different cable?
Hi guys,
anyone have this issue. Not all files and folders are shown on PC when I connect my Nexus to PC. By this, I mean files and folders that are creating when I download it from internet on phone and later when I connect phone to PC those files and folders dont exist there. I can view them only on phone.
Why is this happening?
Ok, I found them.
There is this folder, storage-emulated-legacay-Movies-and here are new files.
Real folder is just Movies.
Why is this like that on Nexus?
I don't know the answer but if there is an answer, it will be in all the other threads about this that I've seen. Did you search?

I've seen it before. I get this for a few seconds after mounting but they all turn into folders. On the odd occasion it didn't, a reboot usually fixed it

Mine doesn't get fixed, it stays like that only. every time one or the other file is like that.
Is it a bug with MTP?

Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Yep. MTP isn't really a good way to copy stuff to and from.
I personally use AirDroid. I was honestly a little skeptical about using WiFi to transfer files, but AirDroid really changed my opinion on it.
Dropbox would also be another option you could try.
Hello,
This is my first post here, so please forgive me if I've got something wrong.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S8+. I connected my canon dslr using OTG connector that comes with the phone. On connecting it showed me a few options at the bottom - g9ogle photos, gallery, secure folder.
I wanted to copy images from the camera to my phone. I selected "secure folder". But nothing happened. (Secure folder icon was disabled from the notification dropdown... not sure if it matters)
I disconnected and reconnected the camera, but now that menu does not show up.
What am I missing?
Thanks in advance!
Open settings and search for "default"
Select default apps and reset or change the default action that is using secure folder. Will hopefully be self explanatory when you see the menu i refer to.
Hello, if I may ask what model is your Canon DSLR?

Thanks, but that didn't help. I also reset all settings, even that doesn't help.
When I connect, I see 2 items in the notification area
1. Media device connected - nothing happens when I click this.
2. USB charging connected device - i see a bunch of options to connect / charge but nothing seems to change when I click any of them.
"My files" application just shows internal storage and sdcard. I cant seem to find a way to browse contents of camera.

Hello, Sorry for the late response, but Ive noticed that on my Canon 6D Mark II and also on my T6 that I cant access the Photos from the computer with a USB cable while WiFi is turned on in the Camera.
Almost went insane because it took me like 3 weeks of troubleshooting to discover that this was the reason why I couldn't sometimes view the files through USB and most other times not.
Maybe the same thing happens when using it on Android? Try turning WiFi off if your camera has it.
