Hello

I'm no longer able to connect my GT-P7500 (10.1 WiFi/3G) to my PC via USB. Works fine with WiFi but this connection has limited features.
When I connect the USB-cable to my PC the tab states "MTP-initializing" and after a while "MTP-connected" but still not visible on my PC. PC runs W7

Have tried to uninstall/ reinstall Kies (and with it the most recent USB drivers) for no avail.
Tab still won't connect to either Kies - or as USB drive.

Searching the forum didn't get me any further understanding as Kies appears to be a Samsung software only

Anyone able to help me solve this issue? Any help appreciated

Are you running the stock OS on it, or an ICS ROM?

I currently have CM9 on mine, and have noticed that this appears to be a bug.

[jorang]

Stock OS.

Been posting this in a few other forums as well (norwegian) and notice that I'm not alone experiencing this. Not able to transfer any file other than through ie. Dropbox...

Probably a known problem, but it still is a major problem to me now.

Hopefully there are someone out there able to assist

[jorang]

Anyone able to suggest a "cure" for this problem?

Thanks,

Are you wanting to use Kies or just connect your Tab to your PC and drag and drop files?

[jorang]

Both would be nice, but mapping the tablet as a disc would be the most important

[anon(549921)]

Uninstall Kies and the drivers for your Tab on your PC and then reinstall the drivers but not Kies. Kies is a pile of garbage and I have had so many connection issues because of it.

Hey there is a way to connect a CM9 GT 10.1 to your computer. You go into settings, then storage. Press the three dots in the upper right corner, and hit "USB Computer connection". Then enable MTP from there. Worked for me!

[jorang]

Thanks for advicing. Will try as soon as I get the chance :-)

Zane: I am sorry; I couldn't help you fix the issue over the chat. However, is there anything else I might be able to assist you with?

Jim: a refund?

[anon(549921)]

Probably because you gave them the Verizon model number and not the Samsung model number. Its totally possible to connect your Tab to your PC, you just need the right drives and not use Kies.

[datastar]

I can connect to Kies some times but I am no longer able to transfer any file to my GTP7510 or 10.1WIFI with Honeycome not rooted. I have also contacted Sammy support but the only solution they came up with is to do a factory reset. Sick and tired of reseting that doesn't help.

Strangly enough I can connect and transfer files to my wife's GT P6210 7" Plus WIFI using the same computer and version of Kies. I love my GT7510 but when I want to transfer something the love dwindles.

Any roots out there that transfering file is easy?

[anon(549921)]

I'm rooted and have no issues, the answer is to remove Kies and the drivers from your PC then connect your Tab and let your PC download the drivers but not Kies.

[datastar]

Removed Kies and the drivers but the Samsung driver remains after on Windows7 even after restarting . When I try to remove again after restarting; Windows7 say driver already removed but it is still listed. Can se GT7510 in Explorer but cannot transfer files. Syncing will start but nothing transfer. Do you have to be for this to work? If so could you point me to the root file you are using?

Thanks

[anon(549921)]

Use something like CC Cleaner to uninstalling the driver and then go to Samsung Drivers and download the drivers, restart your PC. Then all you should need to do is connect your Tab and browse away and be able to drag & drop.

[MaryKroetsch]

I have wasted a couple of days trying to figure this out. Chatted live with a Samsung tech this morning who couldn't have been more bored with his job. I was told to download Kies on both the tab and my laptop. Still no connection even through this software. The version on my laptop doesn't even open. He told me to do the drag and drop option I enjoy with any usb connected device, I had to have a memory card. My GT-P7500r model does not have memory card capability. I finally got the right drivers loaded on my PC and they two machines are clearly connected, but I cannot get the tab to show up on my windows hardware menu for the drag and drop feature I wish to enjoy using. I know that there has to be a work around to this problem other then sending files back and forth via emails - which of course works. Does anyone out there know what I have to do to set my laptop up to show the tab in its hardware menu?
