When trying to transfer stuff to my phone using my main PC with Windows 7 (laptop with XP works fine) I have trouble copying stuff to the memory card on the phone. I'm using SGS3 Easy UMS, the card shows up fine in Windows but when copying stuff across it either just gets stuck at Calculating... or might copy a couple of files then stop.
Taking the card out and putting it in my card reader works fine too, and like I said, no problems with my XP laptop. Any ideas what might be wrong? Same happens from CWM using UMS.
I've started doing some Android software development and the PC upstairs is having problems remotely installing the built program to my Note II, ADB recognises the phone as does Eclipse but when it tries to install the app it just times out.
On my laptop now and it's working fine. Tried running an app 3 times, closing Eclipse and reloading it and every time it worked fine. Something up with my main PC by the looks of things.
Hmm, plugging my phone into one of the USB 2 ports instead of a USB 3 port seems to have fixed the issue *fingers crossed*

Greetings..
For the life of me I cannot copy a new ROM to my phone.
When attempting USB transfer, I get about 90 megs transfered then it it stalls.. eventually getting
Error 0x80070079: The semaphore timeout period has expired
I am running win7 64
I have the USB drivers installed on the machine (which aren't necessary as I understand), at least not for transfer.
Samsung Epic running Viper ROM Trinity
In the past, I've copied big files to the phone as well as about 3 gigs of music (not all at once)
It seems that small files work.. I have not determined exactly how big a file needs to be to actually fail though.. Something's wrong..
Jeeze.. a 600 dollar phone should be able to act as amass storage device without all these problems. soo frustrating..
I recently just formatted the SD card.. still no go
I've attempted connecting to a Mac but the phone shuts off when attempting to mount USB..
All use to work.. but not now..
Anyideas?
fix
I've had the same problem before and there was 2 solutions. the first is using a microsd card reader, which is much faster to move things back in forth. The second solution would be running an adb push command. This would involve setting up the android debugging bridge via the sdk then putting your phone in debugging mode. Then create a path to the tools file in the sdk and type the command adb push with the path next to it and then a space and then/sdcard/. For example it would look something like this
c:\Users\stephen> cd\androidSDK\tools
c:\androidsdk\tools> adb push c:\users\stephen\downloads\email.apk /sdcard/
that would be to push an email app to my sccard that was in my downloads folder on my pc/

Wow.. ok.. I'll replace mine asap!
Thanks
No problem. I found this out when I was trying to save my sd card contents to my computer and I couldn't transfer the big files. I tried like 15 times and it kept locking up. I then tried my wifes evo USB cable and it worked perfectly even for an 8gb file!!!
Tried by friends cable.. BOINK! Worked like a charm!
Another option is to use something like Wifi File Explorer to transfer files to the phone over wifi.
I have the same problem from time to time and I don't think is the cable cuz sometimes works sometime don't it's Samsung overall I think and this is with different cables on different PC's that is happening.

After waiting 1 month for a replacement device I finally got one (used, but eh) and it's been perfect so far except for this.
I was going to transfer some music onto my phone until USB tethering completely failed. Drivers didn't install correctly and my computer repeatedly says that the device is unplugged. Except, when using HTC Sync, it works perfectly, and the phone is always charging when it's plugged in. Specifically, from what I caught at a glimpse, the ABD driver failed, and some other driver didn't work well either (can't remember it's name ... AMDI oriented device or something?). Occasionally it detects it as F:\, but it says to insert a drive into it.
Found this: androidsamurai.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=4 Didn't work because my phone wasn't even being detected.
Installed HTC Sync, worked fine, synced phone supposedly.
Hard reset, still not working.
Any help? No ROMs, running Vista. Tried this on Windows 7 as well and it failed there too and now it won't even detect the phone at all when connecting.
Is it because I have no files on the SD card? Could it be the cord? I have a friend with a HTC Desire, I guess he could help me test out if it is. Regarding the SD card, Handtec refused to send it back because it apparently wasn't in the phone (my ass, I know perfectly well it was ... should've taken pictures) so I'm using one without the default files on the card. Which brings me to my next question: does anyone have the default contents of the SD card in a ZIP or something? If I can't resolve this I'm just buying an adapter to transfer things via USB.
For some reason, MPT suck for me becasue it wont always transfer files between phone and PC.
For example, i select all images i want on my PC and copy them just to see that they aren't all copied. Same goes for APK.
Windows Explorer also can't see some of the thumbnails on camera folder and reports them corrupt but they look and open just fine on phone.
Anyone else has these issues and possible solution?
I don't accept managing media files via adb comments or anything similar.
THanks
does MTP transfer any files at all? or will it only transfer some?
MTP can be finicky sometimes....issues i've had before preventing me from transferring properly include a slightly dirty microUSB port on the phone, where wiggling the connection loses the MTP connection while transferring; drivers not installed correctly; sometimes just rebooting both phone and PC does the trick.
If it fails while transferring a large batch of files, try moving them in small groups, like 20 at a time and see if they all make it then.
PC or MAC? (or linux?)
yeah, it transfers the files but not all of them from one directory for some reason. Sometimes ot didn't trasnfered batches of 2-3 files at the same time which is insane.
Then about an hour ago i reead on some forum that guy recommends backing up files with ADB and deleting problematic directory and than copying files back to it.
I just did that and it works as it supposed to.
Transfers all filess to/from device.
What a strange issue.

I can confirm this issue. I have it from time to time as well and it seems rebooting my phone does the trick. Sometimes, I just cannot send my titaniumbackup folder from my pc to the phone, where I would get an error saying it cannot be sent or it hasn't been sent.
I'd like to know what's causing this. Is mtp not reliable?

MTP on the Galaxy Nexus/ICS is controlled by the MediaStore, and this can cause trouble.
General fix for this should be similar to what I outlined here.
Thanks for the tip man, i formatted my internal storage and recreated all folders again and it works as intended now.
I did this before you posted this solution.
I'll try it if i ever get this issue again (hopefully not)
After a couple of hours trying to find someone with the same problems as me I came up with nothing, so I decided to make a thread.
Firstly, I am no where near versed in device hacking so I am hoping these problems are just due to my ignorance.
My coworker rooted and loaded cm10 and teamwinrecovery onto my sprint GS3 and since then I have had a few issues. The most frustrating problem I am currently experiencing is the phone will not write anything to the external sd. There is no indication as to why this is the case. Under the storage option in settings it shows that it can read the external SD card yet programs seem to not be able to see that it is there. For example my camera will not give me the option to save photos to the external SD and programs like app 2 sd wont give me the option to transfer any of the apps to the SD card even ones that i know are supposed to work like Winamp. Also ive tried using DirectoryBind to change the directory of apps and music but I'm just prompted to create a new file because the data directory doesn't exist and asks if i want to create one. I tap yes and i am just prompted with the same error again and again.
My second main issue is when I dock my phone to my windows 7 PC I get an enigmatic problem. Either i get an error that says the USB malfunctioned and cannot be recognized and the SGS3 won't show up in mycomputer. Or, the default drivers install fine and the device will show up in windows. However, if i try syncing winamp or even dragging files over to my phone it will copy for anywhere from 1 second to 5 minutes and then windows will freeze and if i close the process it will crash windows and/or winamp. I tried installing the samsung usb drivers but then i just get a device ID error and it wont show up.
I was able to find some people with similar issues but not the constantly changing one i have. All the fixes that have been suggested have not worked.
I realize this is more likely an issue with my computer than my phone but when i was running stock it would work fine.
If anyone can provide some insight into these problems or can direct me to someone with a similar issue it would be much appreciated.
I really like CM10 but these issues are deal breakers for me and I dont really want to go through risking bricking my phone in order to try and get back to stock but i will if it will fix these problems.
First time post here. my ATT Gal I747 used to sync with WMP 11 nicely but since I rooted my S3, it no longer sync music into my phone. It connects normally showing memory info and connected device in WMP but as soon as I click start sync, it only reaches 21% and is stuck there. Ive tried to copy and paste frm PC to my external storage and says "cannot copy canceling" Im certain its not my PC, I have all the latest samsung drivers installed. Ive tried numerous syncing apps/desktop apps and not one will sync. My question is it a media files usage rights thing, or is it a reformatting the external sd to allow permissions, or is it a usb composite driver missing from my phone that was in stock rom? (btw my stock rom backup took a crap and I dont have it saved.) Ive turned on usb debugger, used different usb ports on PC, other things Im not familiar with in develop options folder, so i will not mess with it. Im currently running slimrom 4.2.2 build 5 with gapps and nova which works great no issues, except for not syncing to PC. Thought about reinstalling WMP but its not a stand alone in win7. Sorry If I typed a whole chapter, just wanted to get all troubleshooting info. I researched online for a solution but couldnt find any. ive looked at reformatting apps for sd cards on line but most of them are for videocams or camera sds on top of not knowing how to format a sd card. TYVM for any suggestions or tips I havent thought of. Much appreciated.
