I'm trying to transfer some mkv's over to the Xoom into the Movies folder. I'd like to try to play them in RockPlayer. However when I try to transfer the files, the prompt pops up saying the Xoom might not be able to play this type of file and do I want to continue. I hit continue and the transfer pops up but it never appears to transfer. Anyone have an issues like this?
Edit: I just tried transfering simple photo's over to the Xoom, I can't even transfer those. After waiting for the file to transfer it eventually pops up saying the device is either disconnected or unreadable.
There is a difference with WiFi vs.3G xoom. I had the Verizon version and returned it. purchased the wifi version today and noticed immediately that my app NBA game time doesn't work but it did on the Verizon version. Something is up but I can't say what was changed. GPS works but the app just closes when it is launched. So, stuck with watching the laker game on EVO.
Do you have the correct drivers installed?

yes, I made sure to reinstall them directly from motorolas website.
Well I think the problem was that I just used my HTC Micro USB cable since it was already plugged into the computer to transfer files to the Xoom. I started to think about it and since the HTC cable could be used to charge my EVO, perhaps it was the problem. I switched cables and it is now working without a hitch.
There is absolutely something odd and unique about the USB cable that comes with the 3G version. I can NOT use the one that came with my Nexus. Grrr.

Ugh. this is no better than having a proprietary cable...
I used my micro usb cable for my samsung captivate and it worked fine transferring files with the xoom.
I bought a 6ft Micro USB off of Monoprice and it works with my EVO and WiFi Xoom just fine.
I can mount the xoom wifi on my pc at work but can't mount it on my macbook pro. I have tried three different cables but no go. Is there something different for the mac other than plugging in?
You may have to fiddle with your settings in your system control panel... would be my guess for getting it working on a MacBook.
I used the micro usb from my thunderbolt and it works fine on my mac to xoom.. for mac, make sure you have the android file transfer software installed coz it wont recognize the xoom as an external drive.

I was having the same problem. I used the cable that came with the Xoom Wifi and everything is working now. Now i just have to make sure i don't get this cable mixed up with my other moto cables.
hi,
I can't download "android file transfer" from android.com in my country (weird google policy!). anyone knows an alternative or mirror link for download? I tried using VPN but somehow it detects I'm connecting from the same region!
thanks
I'm not really sure what that warning relates to. I can say that mkv playback on the zoom is pretty bad even using the handbrake profile that was floating around that creates flawless HD mp4s. With the same source I got audio outs within a few seconds on the mkvs and no problems with the mp4s. Avi files that had warnings played just fine.

PTP allows you to connect your phone to the PC or Mac without unmounting the storage from the phone and mounting it to the PC. That way you can exchange files between your PC and storage device while still listening to music or looking at pictures on your phone. USB Mass Storage forces the phone to unmount the storage from the phone (stopping all music and photos as well as all the other files on your Internal Storage or SD Card) and mounting it directly to the PC.

I don't think it's an "issue", per say.
yeah, that doesnt really help. but if there is a better explanation or a fix would be better.
Well, did you have a rom where it wasn't like that?
I'd suggest flashing that.
I may have misunderstood your problem, but I think I know what you're talking about now. Since Eaglesblood is based on CM7 source, I'd say yes, it does have the same problem.
I usually just mounted the SD card in recovery. Can't say I've seen a fix.
I'm on eaglesblood 2.5 and I can get both emmc and external sdcard to mount just fine, make sure your USB driver is properly installed.
Never had that problem either on cm7, only stock roms...

yeah i had cm7 on my mytouch 4g and it worked fine. i was really surprised that it didnt work with this phone. its odd. i did install the latest version of eaglesblood and my computer does see both the internal and external micro sd. so ill stick with eaglesblood for a few and see how i like it. on the up side, my gps locks on almost instantly with this rom
one more question i guess. does the lg camera work with eaglesblood?
As far as I know it only works for OTA gb roms, so no it won't.

So I got an incident with my phone, if you wanna now about it, its at my sig, but the thing is that I dunno why or how, sometimes my computer does recognizes my phone and display the Turn on USB storage option at the notification bar, but each time I try to turn it on it just wont work. Attached is a logcat whenI try to enable it, maybe someone could tell me why it wont work.
What rom are you running for those off that are on the xda application?

Normally I got two nandroids a GB based one and an ICS based one, right now Im using both Eagle's Blood 2.3.7 v2.8 and ICS 4.0.3 Build 1. But I had this problem since... always. I'm a flashaholic so i have tested actually every rom from stock 2.2.2 to beta 4.0.3... I even have a nandroid of my original ROM (the one that came with it when y bought it and rooted it) and not even there works. The only clue i have right now is that only if I disable USB debugging it will randomly connect.
This may sound dumb but have you tried a different usb cable? I had the same problem and tried my girls and my phone was able to connect each and every time. another thing I noticed with my phone is that it sometimes won't connect using windows 7...xp no problem but 7 it plays hard to get.

Holy Mother of God! I did it! In one of those "random" times my comptuter recognized my phone I just pulled out the batt unplug/plug again the cable, keeping both vol buttons pressed and it reconginzed the APX decive! Then all I had to do was NVFlash again, restore the stock 2.2.2 Nandroid i had somewhere and play a bit with the USB mount/debbug options, flashed both storages (using gparted for the microSD) and it works! Now have to restore everything to my SD and reflash latest cm7...
Nice!

Did you ever figure this out? Sounds like your having the same problem that i am.
I've tried at least 6 different cables, home PC, work PC, laptop and a co-worker's PC that didn't have anything vmware installed (had a hunch that vmware usb drivers were the cause). Oh, all the computers were win7x64.
I've only rooted my phone and upgraded to 2.3.3 so nothing crazy going on there and it's worked for months since i did both of those.
I have a feeling that this may have been a recent windows update, but no clue when or which one because i haven't really cared that it didn't work. If i had to guess i'd say mine stopped working about 3 months ago... again, hard to remember.

Make sure usb debugging is turned off.
Plug in the phone, enable usb storage.
Right click on the phone drives in the explorer and click on eject.
Turn off usb storage.
Unplug and plug in again.
Enable usb storage.
Drives should work now.
This did it for me. Since then if I remember to eject before unplug I haven't seen any issues.

Thanks for the reply, I'll give that a shot.
Curious though, when yours was having problems, did windows detect anything? For instance, when I plugged mine into my co-workers pc there are zero pop ups about new hardware detected.

I had the same problem. Dirt in the mini-USB port can cause that problem.
Take a can of compressed air and blow it into the mini-USB port (blowing with your mouth isn't enough). Also, take a close look at the port with a magnifying glass and look for any dirt or discoloration in there.
Do the same with your cable.
Not working after install RemICS 1.3.2

Hi, this problem occur to me after I've installed RemICS 1.3.2 ROM (CM9 based), I did follow the installation steps from beginning, when the problem occur, I did re-flash the same ROM several times, but this problem still unsolved.
I did try all recommendations (blow out dirt, disable usb debugging etc) but still not success.
This ROM should able to detect USB when phone connected with PC, but somehow I don't know why. Any experts recommendation?

Ok, I just found the problem. I can hear now the tone of PC detected USB when plugged-in, and I update the driver. then Voila!!
Thanks All..

Hey, just thought I'd register an account because I stumbled upon this thread because I had the same issue verbatim and I managed to get it working.
I ended up using the USB 3.0 ports on my desktop and suddenly it picks up my g2x without fail everytime. With that said, I'm lead to believe that perhaps its an issue of power. Maybe the USB 2.0 ports you're using simply aren't providing enough power. Not sure what its worth or if my issue was something unrelated but maybe that bit of information is something to work with. =)
Found another solution that fixed the problem for me.
If you are using Windows XP, log on as an Administrator and open Device Manager
Select View > Show Hidden Devices
Scroll down to Storage Volumes, and expand
Right-click on each entry and select Update Driver.
This fixed the problem for me!
I've had my nexus for a while, soon to be going on a year and I haven't been able to mount it to my computer for, I'd say like 4-5 months? It randomly just stopped working one day. It'll still charge when I plug my phone in. I've checked NStools and fastcharge is unchecked. I've cleaned the port a couple times. I still can't figure out why it won't mount. I don't think it'd be a hardware problem either because it still charges. I'm rooted and my bootloader is unlocked, I've also tried tons of different roms to see if that was the problem. It won't even mount through recovery, but like sometime last month it randomly mounted one time and It never did after that. I've spent countless hours on google trying to figure it out. Can someone PLEASE help me?
go into phone and dial *#*#8778#*#* and check if UART is modem, and USB is PDA.
If it's not, that's your problem.
If that doesn't work, flash a different kernel
UART is "PDA" but whenever I select "Modem" it changes back after I hit the back button.
I also tried two different kernels. Franco and Matr1x.
maybe you have encryted your phone?
Same exact thing happened to me. U think its an issue with Samsung phones.

Uninstall all of your Windows 7 USB drivers. Reboot computer, and connect Nexus S using USB. I find it best to connect through CWM recovery, by mounting your USB storage. Let your computer install the drivers, and then enjoy! It should be perfectly functional after that.
It's only Windows 7 that it does that on. I've tried computers with Windows XP before too, and my school Macs.
Try this:
http://nexusshacks.com/nexus-s-hacks/how-to-install-nexus-s-windows-usb-drivers/
That happened once to me, then I realized I was using an "only charge" USB cable from a car kit I bought. Using the original cable fixed the problem.
Anyone able to hint at whether or not we could finally get a proper fix for the incredibly slow USB transfer rates with ICS on the Nexus S when Jelly Bean arrives in the next few weeks (hopefully)?
I know the general advice is "Just reboot into CWM and do the transfers there..." but honestly that gets a bit frustrating. I bought Wifi File Transfer Pro during a sale for $.99 and it's functional but, even that's somewhat slow to me (average 3-6MB/s). I have no idea what Flash-RAM is inside this device, I'm guessing since the Nexus S is made by Samsung (even though it's 18+ months old now) and they'd more than likely use their own high grade Flash-RAM it should be more than capable of writing at close to that speed as well.
Under CWM's storage mode the transfers are in the 10-15MB range so that's good, but...
Has anyone ever actually discovered why the USB transfers are so horridly slow on ICS on the Nexus S, or is it a situation where most people just shrug their shoulders and say "That's how it goes..." and that's that?
Just curious... love the device, it's my new main one as I recently dumped my HD2 to pay some bills. If it's specifically related to a busted kernel (3.x) then there's nothing that can be done about it I suppose, unless someone at Google has some clue as to what's going on.
Sure would be nice to plug in and get the speed this device is capable of instead of plugging in, rebooting to recovery, going into CWM storage mode, doing a transfer, then rebooting back out into ICS again.
I know it's been asked before but there's never been an actual answer to why it's happening, let alone a potential fix for it.
If it IS an issue with the 3.x kernel(s), doesn't that imply that Jelly Bean won't do much to address it and we'll still be stuck in the slow lane?
Thanks...
EDIT:
Found this JB port from steven776 from the SDK: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28113909&postcount=258
Installed it and it's running fine but but but... nothing changed as far as the USB transfer rates are concerned. I know it's not the "official" build of JB coming for the Nexus S but, even so, this doesn't bode well for a fix for this issue once and for all.
Well, the slow transfer speed bothers me a lot too, but I never thought of transferring the file using CWM, so thanks for the tip :good:
I cant offer any magic solutions or explanation for why its slow but maybe you could clear up a couple of things:
1) are you using a USB 2.0 cable or is it possible that it is only a 1.0?
2) the devices you are connecting your phone too (i.e PC, laptop) are they USB 2.0 capable?
3) check to see if your operating system's power management settings and make sure that there isn't anything slowing it down there
If you feel any better these are the speeds that I get, no matter what ROM im using (steve's JB port included) and I too have been underwhelmed by it.

Well for me I'm connected to a USB 2.0 port, I have no issues regarding from power management as that should have no affect.
But writing anything to the phone its very slow like anywhere from 300kbs to 1MB/s. But copying/writing from the phone to PC is always going to be faster I'm getting on avg. 14 to 18MB/s.

Nexus S JB is still slow
Hi, I have just updated to the official Jelly Bean update and can confirm that the USB problem is still present. I think I had read somewhere that the problem is in the kernel?
Any fix for this yet? Still annoying to go into cwm to transfer big files.. Thanks.
Go to clockworkmod and use then mount USB storage, you will get about 4mb/s

I believe this has to do with the transfer protocol used and your Kernel. Which kernel are you using, are you stock, rooted, or romed, and have you played with the MTP/FTP settings?
MTP Works fine
Hi,
Using Marmite Kernel 7.1.4CM on CM10 and JellyShot 0.1 I noticed that MTP Transfer is actually a lot faster than USB Transfer.
I had the same issue with slow transfer on ics and jb. with MTP its gone.
