Android File Transfer - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I would like to transfer some files from pc to my phone at a high speed. I installed it on my iMac running OS X 10.8.3. When I connect my Note 2 to iMac, the Android File Transfer pops up and always says "Try connection or restarting your device." I tried but no improvement at all. What is wrong or this software is unsuitable for these gears? Thanks!

Enable USB debugging then reconnect. Make sure you have installed the drivers.

I enabled the USB debugging on my phone and did not see any improvement. How can I ensure the drivers installed?

by re-installing them!!

i found it was a driver issue.. the new drivers that install with kies..
Here is the verison that worked for me: SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_1.4.8.0
It's the fault of outdated Windows Update drivers for our phones.
Correct way of installing drivers if above error is present:
1. Disconnect phone from PC.
2. Uninstall Kies and drivers.
3. Download fresh copy of Kies from Samsung website.
4. Turn off Internet connection on PC <- important! This will force OS to look for drivers on PC first instead of Windows Update.
5. Install Kies, run it.
6. Connect phone to PC and wait for drivers installation.
7. Turn on Internet connection.
8. Done.

Having problems with connecting phone to computer

Whenever I connect my phone to the computer to put music on it i get a error message saying "Hardware Id Missing Windows cannot identify the device plugged into the SAMSUNG Mobile USB Composite Device." Is there any way to fix this?
I believe, if you are on Windows, you can search for and download the Samsung drivers for your phone. You will have to choose 32 or 64 bit. Then it should show up as an extra storage device under the my computer program
Download kies, it will install the Samsung drivers. After installation connect your phone and let it connect. It'll take about 5 minutes then you'll be good to go.

Still wish there was a Mac solution. Couldn't get my S3 to connect and neither my Note 2. I'm stuck using Windowz whenever I want to file transfer. .
And yes I've tried absolutely everything, but install Parallels on my Mac lol

Check whether you've firs installed Samsung USB Drivers in computer. Install KIES and it'll automatically install the drivers.
Also check the USB Debugging mode is not checked in your phone. It'll be there in Developer Options
adb non detect.
Yeah. I am having similar problem. Pc wont detect my phone even when usb debugging is on or off. Installed all necessary drivers and still wont detect. In fact my note 8.0 having the same problem. It was ok a few days back. Is it the phone or pc that is causing the problem? Note 2 was derooted and 8.0 original fw. Can anyone help?
yes i have the same issue as well
i have no idea why
Try to do everything from the begining. Uninstall all previous drivers that you have installed. Restart your computer. You could download and install Samsung drivers pack only if you don't use Kies (search on Google for the latest pack) or download and install latest Samsung Kies suite and install drivers that come with it. After that connect your phone to the PC using your USB cable. When it starts to search for drivers open that notification and you will see something like >> Skip obtaining drivers from internet<< Then it will automaticaly install drivers from PC (the one that you have installated previously) or it will prompt you to point to the folder where drivers were instalated. I can't remember exactly how it goes but this is the solution that worked for me...And you must click on skip for every single item (on driver list) or it will not be instalated properly...

No, it's useless to reinstall driver, just buy a new usb sync/charge cable, that works for me.

No USB detection in Windows

I was having an issue with my i9250, my phone would not be recognised in windows when switched on normally, so I replaced the USB flex inside,and I'm still having the same problem.
My computer will detect my phone in fastboot mode, or in odin mode, but I will not be detected normally, nothing appears, not even unknown device, and I have enabled usb debugging, flashed mutiple stock images but I still have the same problem, have you got any more ideas for me?
Thanks.
what windows you using? did you enable usb conection on phone? if you are on windwos 8 look at softwere update to install new usb driver for our phone
Make sure you have the right drivers installed. There is a stickied thread that contains all the steps of returning to stock 4.3. I believe the first step deals with getting the right drivers and installing them correctly. I would suggest following those steps.
Connect phone in usb debugging mode and then Try to manually install the drivers from device manager.

[A] USB Device Not Recognized

Hey Guys,
So im having an issue for when i try to connect my note 2 running Jedi X20 to my windows 8.1 computer i get an error stating "USB Device Not Recognized". I have tried everything from trying different cables, downloading drivers, deleted and reinstalling drivers, checking to see if my phone is set to PDA, trying factory reset in TWRP, etc. i was wondering if anyone has successfully fixed this issue and they could help me.
I am trying to get my device connected so ODIN may recognize my device so i can revert it back to Stock.
My note 2 is also showing up as "unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)

Have you tried the USB ports on the back of the PC? If so....
Maybe try updating the drivers for the motherboard of your PC instead of using standard Windows 8.1 drivers. Assuming Windows 8.1 is recognizing all the USB ports you are trying to plug your cable into.
If this does not work and you have a copy of Windows 7, download Virtualbox and install Windows 7 as a virtual machine. Launch it make sure you have the USB settings inside the virtual machine setup to allow the USB to be used from Host PC.
Load the Samsung drivers in the Windows 7 virtual machine. I'm assuming those are the drivers you have stated you have downloading and reinstalled.
Sorry meant to say it's a laptop. Tried all ports and installing drivers. Unfortunately I don't have windows 7

Just tested on windows 7 and it did recognize the device. I'm just having issues on 8.1 and can't seem to find a fix.
