Anyone else getting this message when trying to transfer files from a computer?

Connected the USB cord that came with the phone to my Windows laptop and G2. At some point when transferring picture files (haven't gotten to the music files yet), I get this message and nothing gets transferred. Thoughts?

A handful are HD videos (taken from the phone). But I don't think it's the size that's slowing it up. I have two G2 phones connected to the computer via USB, and it's only one of them that is having the problem.

My first thought was that it's a standard message by windows when a process is taking a long time. Other than that i don't know i'm afraid

I was having the same problem. The solution to it is to become a developer - go to settings/about/build number and tap it SEVERAL TIMES. OK, you are a developer now, congrats.
But, damn it, on my phone it only stopped to give any bad messages, but still doesn't copy any files.

I know you said you used the cable that came with the phone but try a different one. I've experienced this with other cables myself. It also seems to happen with the original cable when I plug it into a USB 3.0 port.

I remember having issues in the past with my previous android phones and it ended up being the Windows firewall causing it. Try disabling it. That may fix it. Other than that. I don't know.

Sent from my rooted LG D803 on Rogers.

I had it working again, here's what I did:

- First I unplugged my tablet from the computer
- I removed my SD card from the tablet.
- I closed all the apps that are open in the background and then I plugged it back in
- It works just like normal again.

Try this and let me know if this worked for you as well.

I even disabled the passcode for my tablet...it could be one of these, my best bet would be to close all the open apps in the background of your tablet.

You have to unlock your device. While it's plugged in enter your passcode and you should see the "internal storage" folder appear on the computer.

I had this problem, but I figured out why in my case it wasn't working. I had transferred a music file to my phone (Galaxy Note 3) and then tried to copy an Excel file to the phone, which resulted in the "The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected." Scoured the web and tried everything (except formatting the SD card; mostly because I couldn't transfer the Excel file to the internal storage as well). Then I thought, for tickles and grins, why not add an mp3 extension to the Excel file? Well, it worked!!!! I then used Windows explorer to remove the .mp3 extension from the file on THE PHONE and it let me rename it. Next, I verified on the phone it was a valid, readable file, and it worked.
It's too late right now to see what other file formats can and can't be copied, I'm falling asleep at the wheel here. But perhaps someone else in the crowd will know what this means and just maybe know where to fix this problem.

I was trying to copy few music files to default Music folder in the internal memory and was getting the same error. So I created new folder and copied the files... and it worked! Seems like Android copying certain types of files to the default folders. Hope this helps.
