I recently did a fresh install if windows and upgraded my SSD to a samsung 830. I am having the hardest time transferring files over to my phone/SD card now. I originally just installed the mobile drivers from the samsung website, when I plugged it in it just sat at hours for installing device driver software, then I uninstalled them and installed Kies...all went smooth. It now installs my phone as SCH-I535. I can access the phone via card or phone under camera or MTP.
However, anytime I transfer anything, it takes FOREVER to transfer, and it only ever gets about half-3/4 of the way done before I get the big red x and says the device was either unplugged or stopped responding.
I know there is a workaround for SD card to turn it into MTP (I have yet to look into this) but on my old install...everything worked, albeit it took forever, but it worked. Does anyone have any suggestions?

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 am getting an error, old as android itself, with my new s7 Exynos. "The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected". This happens when I try to copy my 25 gb music library on external sd card. I tried all usual stuff like:
- Use different cables
- Reinstall samsung drivers via Kies
- Transfer using MTP or PTP
- Use USB Debugging on and Stay awake option on
- Tried pushing folder via ADB push command, but it says "Read-only file system" when I typed location as /sdcard1 (which I think is an extSdcard right? It did copy a .txt file if I typed just /sdcard but that is internal storage)
- Tried with Samsungs own SmartSwitch but the bloody thing doesn't even have an option to copy files to device (only backup and restore), and Kies is not supported for S7.
On side note, the same sd card worked perfectly with my S3 and gave no errors. When I inserted sd card into S7, I formatted it inside the device. What other troubleshooting stuff should I do? I can't believe that this crap is still an issue. Why can't we have our USB Mass Storage back?
-----------------------------
Big edit:
Ok my phone doesn't seem to like this sdcard. I inserted microsd card to my s3 and copied 17 gb of files, to check if there is a problem with MTP connection or sdcard, but it copied all 17 gb of files without any errors or problems. I checked on phone if it reads correctly, and all music plays fine instantly without any lag or freez. But when I inserted this micro sdcard back into my s7, there was a massive lag/freezes. When I click "MyFiles" or "SolidExplorer", or any other file manager, there is a big lag/freeze, and file manager never opens (it is always stuck). Also, when I go into settings and when I press "unmount" under storage, nothing happens. When I press home, it doesnt go to home screen, and says that touchwizz is not responding (if I change default applications to Nova launcher, it does go to the homescreen though). When I try to open Shealth app, it doesnt open it. Also when I put my phone to sleep, I have to wait like 10 seconds for screen to turn off sometimes. When I pop out sdcard though, all the problems go away INSTANTLY. Everything is smooth again and responsive, file manager opens, shealth opens, everything works like it should. If I insert sd card back in, same problems happen.
And as a cherry on the cake, I put sdcard back into my s3, and everything still works fine. All files are readable, music playes, etc.
When I was searching online, this is the closest thing I have found that explains my problems, but there was no solution: http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-note-4/542854-sd-card-freezes-note-4-a.html
Anyone ever experienced anything similar?
EDIT: Luckly, it was not my phone fault. It was my sd card. Even though it worked fine on s3 and my friends s5, it didn't work in s7 for some reason. I purchased samsung evo+ and it works flawlessly.
try format as exfat ?
Can't, it is 32gb card and it is not allowing me. Also, sometimes when I insert it, the whole phone freezes complitely. Once I even had to use volume down + power button for 10 seconds reset method since it froze complitely. Card is in fat32.
edit: I also tried copying files from USB flash drive (adata 64gb exFat) to sdcard directly on my phone, via OTG cable. It also stopped the process midway and phone wouldn't enter into any file storage (it froze). I had to remove sdcard again and insert it back in to remove that freezing.
edit2: I copied 17gb folder full of subfolders to internal storage, and it transferred without any problems and pretty fast (about 20 minutes). That means MTP connection and drivers are fine. When I tried copying the same 17gb folder to external sd card, "device stopped responding or has been disconnected" error again.
It seems like this is a lot bigger problem, as this is not really an issue about "device stopped responding" anymore. I edited first post. Still looking for solution.
Search the forums, this is a known issue with some phones. You can try other cards, sometimes that will help. Or get your phone replaced as it's a hardware defect. My first S7 was like that. This one reads sdcard without issues (but has radio issues).
