Sorry if this is a stupid question, most of my search resulted in threads about mass storage protocol vs. media transfer protocol, which isn't my issue.
When I first bought my TF300T, I was able to access most, if not all, the folders on the TF300T from my computer when connected by USB. This was not mass storage protocol, it was media transfer protocol as well, but I had full access.
After a hard reset, my PC only recognizes the tablet as if it was a camera (or an iPhone), as in I can only access the DCIM folder and only to download the pictures.
Something changed either in the TF300T settings from the reset (never upgrade to 4.2, I am still at JB 4.1), or I changed the drivers on the computer.
Anybody knows what I am talking about?
you're on stock now right? and what OS are you using on your pc?
In Settings -> Storage -> USB Computer Connection, just change the connection type from PTP to MTP.

I've been looking in there several times before and never saw the option but since you told me it's there, I went to look and stare at it... until I saw the 3 little square on the top right corner, completely out of the way
Thanks!
But next time, specify that it isn't right in front of you when opening settings - Storage

To be honest, the TF300T is my first android, which I owned for 4 months, out of which 2 months it was broken (waited a month before getting around to order a digitizer and took a month to receive), and the 2 first months I gave it to my son since he was going on a long long travel trip.
I only got to know the device for a few hours, and get "intimate" with it when I had to swap the digitizer

Hi there. Strange problem I can't find any info with a solution. Seems a guy had a similar problem last year but there was no resolution.
TF101 Stock 3.2.1 (Japanese unit) Last update we got was in Feb to 3.21. No ICS for us yet.
Yesterday I connected my TF101 to my iMac to transfer some files but it would not connect. I unplugged and tried again but still no luck. Up until now I was able to connect no problems. I tried it on a Macbook Air and still nothing.
I checked the cable still charges the unit and it does. If the unit is asleep and I plug the USB in it wakes to the lock screen so it is getting something from the USB port.
I reinstalled the Android file transfer and still nothing.
I did some digging and found that I need to go to settings > storage > press the 3 dots at the top right > select MTP.
Thing is, I don't have 3 dots at the top right. The only option I have in storage is to unmount the external SD card.
I tried turning on and off the USB debugging. No go.
I tried rebooting and cold booting. No go.
Does anyone have any ideas? Do I need to do factory reset?
I don't want to buy a new cable as I want to see what the deal with these missing three dots is. It seems to be a problem on the TF101 side not the computer.
Thanks in advance for your help.
You could try rooting and flashing a custom ROM, this would also have the benefit of giving you ICS.
Otherwise go to applications and look for menus there, and Development, enable USB-debugging, and keep hunting through the menus.
Make sure you have adb/asus sync on your macs.
Thanks Thing.
I have hunted high and low through all the settings.
The thing that baffles me is that it was working fine one day but not the next.
There have been no updates from ASUS here since Feb.
I will install Asus sync and see what happens.
Sounds like something got corrupted somewhere, If you have a MicroSD and are willing too go ahead and do a factory reset in the settings and make sure you're on the latest ota, this should fix it. (use the microsd to backup everything you've put on there, google backs up your apps if you check it in the playstore so you can redownload them)
^^This is only if you can't get it too work
The alternative is to root and flash a custom rom :3
Also having this problem
Hey. My android file transfer app on mac also doesnt detect my transformer tf101.
Also eclipse doesnt detect it so I am unable to use my transformer for development at the moment. I see the 3 dots in the upper right corner of the Storage tab and it is set to MTP.
Also USB debugging is enabled and no bee icon comes up on the action bar when I plug in the USB.
This only started happening after I upgraded to a rooted ICS ROM I found on this forum. I just did a factory reset and it didnt help :/
If anyone can help me, I will give you an internet bro fist.

I do have the same problem, did you solved? By a factory restore?
Thanks
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.

Yes, I try different ports, ... The "USB" icon just will NOT stay in the upper left of the screen/display.

Same problem!
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 XDA!
I dropped my Nexus 5 from a height < 3 feets, it got a little scratch on the corner, however the screen has stopped functionning. I tried restarting the device but it still keep displaying black and white vertical lines. The good news is that Google will swap my device free of charge, the bad news is, I am unable to backup the data from my Nexus. Unfortunately, I have no backup of my photos and videos from wedding and vacation
Things I know/have tried:
Debugging mode is on, my Nexus was detected by my computer with no problem prior to the ''accident/drop''
I am no longer able to browse the internal storage, when I plug my Nexus 5 in my computer's usb port, it detects a media device(Nexus 5), but when I double click on it, it doesn't display internal storage.
ADB device -l, does not list anything
Any other ways to back up my data?
Thank you,

I did not , I wasn't even aware of that option. I also turned off dropbox auto-sync because it annoyed me to have my pictures synced between my computer and 2 laptops. Now... I regret it

I'm not sure but maybe these links can give you some enlightenment regarding adb and usb driver:

Good luck!
I re-installed ADB using your link, but I don't think that's the issue. I read somewhere that the screen need to be unlocked for the computer to be able to browse the files from the internal memory. There are some weird behavior with my broken Nexus, I can't receive any calls, but the alarm rang off this morning and my LED flashed, it means I received a kind of notice or something.
I also read somewhere that it was possible to flash your device and in the process remove the unlock code lock, however if I do that, wouldn't I void my Nexus 5 warranty?
Thank you,
PS*. I don't know how I could flash, computer does not detect my Nexus and I can't have access to my screen since it displays black/white stripes + it is not being responsive to touch input( seems dead)
usb debugging is checked in developer options, phone appears as photon q and mot composite ADB interface in device manager and windows explorer. i have tried 3 usb 2.0 cables and a usb 1 cable. 2 of them were labled as "data cables" and have worked in the past. i have installed the Motorola software previously. only internal storage DCIM and pictures folders are viewable through explorer. i suspect the phone is recognized as being in camera mode but since there is no notification i cant change this. i do have an sd card in the device that is recognised by the operating system. so whats the next step?
Have you tried the original Moto cable?
Have you tried clicking on the notification from the shade and changing the mode?

yes i tried the moto cable and what mode toggle? the network one from off to on yes, and i tried the lte off and on, even reset apn's. the only thing that seems to work is a reboot which only works for the first 3 mins or so. issues started after i flashed nightly. im gonna attempt to do a clean install of nightly. if that doesnt work i might have to stick with rc2
edit: im going to have to call the carrier and see which apn they recommend because i have 5 for sprint
did a factory reset and reinstalled pacman rc2 running smoooooth. wish i could have rc3 though :/

nah now my sd card isnt recognised and i dont have a spare or another device to test if its the card. no mount options in the menu. i also figured out that theres a way to change mtp and ptp via the three dots in the storage menu if anyone gets this problem. also i have no service, idk if theres a way to improve reception from the phone.

You seem to have an unending fountain of issues. Try flashing stock and seeing if they persist. You may have a hardware issue.
You should have some sort of way to plug the SD card into your computer - IE a converter card or a USB-to-microSD key. I guess I always make sure the card comes with one kind or another so I have a few laying around... You can buy one pretty cheap too, especially if you have a MicroCenter near you.
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.
