As title says, I have a problem copying high resolution images (say 2569x1600) into my phone. While copying files from PC phone turns off or screen goes black and touch sensitive buttons at the bottom blinks.
I thought it is problem with my sd card, so I reformatted it but still couldn't resolve it. To get over this problem I even tried reflashing, still no luck. I think it shouldn't be a problem copying HighRes images as phone itself captures images at the resolution of 3264x2448!
Anyone else with similar issue? Please help!
How are you copping the files (usb, wifi)?

I tried both way but same problem occurs.
Have you had this kind of problem?
Sometimes i have similar issues. The problem is faulty sdcard (or at least faulty in the phone).
I proved the sdcard + phone combination as faulty this way:
1. Boot in openrecovery and issue adb shell to the phone
2. Simulate some sdcard activity (i was using dd to read and write to a file over the sdcard)
Look for "dma" errors in the dmesg output. if that happens usually you can do something with the phone, but nothing which access somehow the card
Alternatively:
From normal mode, connect via adb to the phone. Copy the files, phone will "freeze", but the linux in it will be alive again you can see dma errors in the dmesg output Your shell will be alive (even if it will be necessary to issue another adb shell command), but the phone framework will be freezed
If somebody is curious the sdcards, which make the phone freeze are realy faulty, but not so obviously. e.g. you can use them normal with other devices and pc. But if you go deep and run some test (divide card in logical parts, then compare the read speed of this parts) you will see that the card is gone to gone...
Anyway, i think that even problematic sdcard dosen't have to make the phone freeze. but .... moto decision (or moto fail)

I have had this problem, although it wasn't when it was connected to PC. I will get it sometimes when I an downloading off the internet directly to the phone.
What happens with me is the download gets interupted for some reason and then when I try to reset it back to Home screen it never goes. I soft touch the power button and then that is when I see only the 4 lights at the bottom light up and black screen.
I have to do a battery pull and then when I am fully booted up is when I can fix the issue. Something in the interuption causes the SD card to unmount and you get a corrupted file on there. Let's say I was downloading a picture and this happened. Once I do battery pull and reboot, if I go into the media.apk and see my pix, there will be one that is grey and has a ! in it and also I'll get a notificiation that could not read/write to SD card. Find that file, Delete it, go into settings and unmount SD card and then remount it. You will lose whatever pix it was but my SD card is now mounted again.
Sorry for the long description but it has happended to me a number of times and I even started a thread about it. Moral of the story os that a connectiong was broken during download. Either USB came slightly unplugged or BT signal was interupted, or (this happende to me once) the screen timed out and if you have JuiceDefender it will cut your connection.
Find the corrupted file and deleted it, un-remount SD card (in phone) and maybe try transfering smaller batches over at a time.

Thanks mate. Now I guess, I have to resize images to lower resolutions to get rid of this problem. Again thank you for the help!

I have exactly same problem as you described. I did battery pull, deleted all the corrupted files and then copied them again but as you said connection gets disconnected and black screen appears. Is this problem with MIUI too, because that's the last option I have left with.

I wouldn't say it was anything with the ROM you are on, but main the quantity of material you are transfering at one time. Maybe try to cut it down and do small batches and see if that works.
Btw, I am on Kahl's v4 Epicsteelblue ROM.
Are you overclocked? Perhaps your vsel is too low.
If you're using WiFi make sure to set the WiFi sleep policy (or set your screen not to turn off)
Settings >> Wirless & Networks >> WiFi settings >> (menu) >> Advanced >> WiFi sleep policy >> Never off
it is just the sdcard.
before proving within openrecovery, have tried stock clocks and vsel (e.g. not loading overclock.ko)
also was in doubt about vsel, so tried in openrecovery at 250MHz (suppose the vsel was the standard 39 or 32 don't remember exactly).
So it is not the vsel (or at least vsel alone, may be combination of vsel and frequency )

Previously I used to run MilestoneOverclock @1Ghz with 65Vsel. Last night I tried reflashing , phone wasn't rooted, no overclock module, no Setcpu - phone was completely at stock values and still same thing happened.

That could be the solution but when plugged with USB cable, phone behaves in same weird manner.
Because that happen only when you copy image, so i think your gallery (or another image software contain error when it make the thumb of image). Have you tried remove gallery and copy to see what happen?

No, I didn't try that. After reflashing to stock there shouldn't be any problem, right? It still happens. Really annoying problem. So what I do now is resize images to 854x480.

You could try creating a folder with a file named .nomedia inside it (that will prevent media scanning) and see if you can transfer the image into that folder.

Make sure you google .nomedia and read about it before you do that. There are some bugs and issues that "can" come along with that. If it works great, but if not
It worked for me on a few folders but I didn't push my luck with it.

Can you be more specific about what google search I should use? What I find for ".nomedia" doesn't seem unexpected...

I got these

These two are for Droid X but .nomedia is .nomedia

I am just saying to make sure whoever doesn't put in a .nomedia where it can do some real frustration. "Hey it worked for this folder, why not try it on this folder."
Funny thing is happening on my xt. If i put 16gb class 6 sd card, and when I am on phone call I get random scrambled noise. Until yesterday I thought that it is some kind of hardware failure, but after replacing sd card with provided one with xt (8gb/class 2) everything is working fine...
Sd card is sandisk....

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.
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,
Frostbiter
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.
As of several days ago my phone had this problem where it lists all of my files (e.g. music, videos) as "others" in the Storage setting. These files are accessible through the file manager, but Blackplayer, MX Player, and the stock gallery app cannot find and display them. In addition, these apps would sometimes force close for no obvious reason. The stock file manager also force closed at one point when I tried to access the files manually.
I tried doing a factory reset, which solved the problem at first. However, it returned after I tried to copy some files from my pc. Perhaps this is related?
My phone is unrooted running on the stock Color OS (F1fEX_11_171125).
Anyone here have the same problem? Ideas on how to repair this would be greatly appreciated!

Update: It seems that the problem happens when copying certain files through MTP, which in this case was an MKV video. One sign that the problem would occur was that the copy operation got stuck at near completion for a long time. Deleting the file returned the phone to normal.
Hoping that this could assist others who also encountered the same problem.
I was not able to see this bug on my phone, even after transferring lot of music files on SD card via MTP.
I guess that it's more probably related to big files (videos) on internal memory via MTP transfers. Thanks for the info, I hope it's not your flash or controller getting old...
