nexus s w/ win7 device not recognized.....

hey guys,
I'm having problems with my nexus s not being recognized by my laptop when connecting via USB. I even tried using the samsung cable from my wife's vibrant and nothing. Her phone seems to work with both her cord and mines. Also, when I plug in my phone to my xbox 360 USB port, I'm able to mount it there. Only when I connect the phone to my windows 7 laptop, the little android guy pops up in the notification bar for a split second then it disappears. Then the laptop gets a popup saying USB device not recognized. is it a phone problem or a laptop problem? I keep having to load files onto dropbox on my laptop and pull it from there on my phone.

Do you have USB debugging selected? Did you download the drivers for you device to your laptop?

[Q] USB Mass Storage keeps disconnecting...

First off, i am running Aeon v1, my computer operating system is ubuntu 11.10 (was a pc with windows corrupted...been sitting for a while installed ubuntu and it works) oher usb mass storages connect fine and copy files to and from fine
im trying to put all my music thats on my phone onto the computer, ill connect it through usb mass storage and the computer will recognize it. I then go to move my music over and it will copy a few songs and then out of no where my phone will disconnect from mass storage mode by itself and media scans will start. No matter how many times i try i get the same result...ive tried every usb port (front and back) ive tried reflashing...nohing works

maybe it's DRM related, you could try connecting your device with adb tho..
adb push /pathORfolderTOcopy /sdcard/destinationFOLDER

I somehow got it working...the only thing I did different was copy the files from my phone to the desktop insyltead of copying from my phone to a folder...not sure of its a Linux/Ubuntu bug or if its my phone....

I had a similar problem once, though the OS was OSX.
My phone would disconnect every 5-10 minutes, it started working again when I changed the USB cable.

[Q] Nexus 5 doesn't realize it's connected to PC

I've seen many solutions for the reverse, but not for this problem.
I've got my Nexus 5 connected to my PC right now. I'm trying to copy files off of it, but the Nexus doesn't realize it's connected to the PC. With Android debugging on, Windows realizes there's an "Unknown USB Device" connected, but Android doesn't recognize the computer is connected at all. I've tried the other computer in our house and had the same issue.
I'm running on 4.4.2, so it shouldn't be something too out there, but I can't figure out what else to do.

On the other PC, did you use a different cable?

Using a different cable I was able to get the Tethering options to show up. Activating Tethering, the Nexus 5 was recognized as a "USB Composite Device". Trying to manually specify the USB driver to use hasn't changed anything.

With the different cable, deactivate tethering then delete the device in device manager. See if anything else shows up. Could be cable issue, could be phone port issue

Got it working. At some point I unchecked both the MTP and PTP connection options, but for whatever reason plugging the phone back into the computer didn't make the notification pop up. I had to go to Settings -> Storage -> (menu) USB computer connection in order to turn it back on.
Sorry for the trouble.

G2 won't allow MTP on Mac

So this is very strange. When i use to plug my G2 into my mac and use Android File Transfer everything worked fine. Recently, I went to transfer some files over and I plugged my G2 into my macbook and it automatically chose the "PC Software" option and says "Installing PC Programs, check your computer." I go to select Media Sync (MTP) and it just automatically goes back to the PC software option. When i click Android file transfer it just tells me to plug in my USB. I have my drivers installed for my Mac and i've even tried it on my virtual terminal and the same thing keeps coming up. It's so annoying bc it use to work just fine.
Someone please help me

Have you tried a different USB cable?

Ya and same thing keeps happening. I am using the cable that came with the G2 when I got it. The same cable that I used when I use to be able to send stuff back and forth between android file transfer. It's very very strange
