get to files using USB

[dguidry12]

Can someone tell me how to get to my files on the using the USB? Other phones you would just connect the device and the folder prompts would open but with this phone it is doing that. Neither does the phone give me the option to charge, usb, or tether like other androids. All im getting is MTP-Connection.

Thanks,

Are your computer running Windows 7?

Ok..I did the debugging thing.. but it still wont work

No you don't.

Are your computer running Windows 7?

This was the only way I was able to connect without MTP connecting.. How have you been doing it?

 

[BRIVERS73]

Never mind I see now. OP if your using Windows the device will show up in Computer as SPH-D710. You should be able to move files from there

I experienced the same thing as the OP and went into device manager and saw that SPH-D710 (the phone) had a caution sign ( no drivers)

I clicked on it and searched for a driver and installed it. Problem solved.

USB debugging still off.

I am running windows 7 64 bit.

Right click on 'My Computer', select 'Properties'.
In the window that comes up, select the 'Hardware' tab and select 'Device Manager'.

Do you see a 'SPH-D710'?

Ok yes I do see that..

 

[folarino]

Does it have a caution icon beside it?

 

[dguidry12]

No it doesn't

 

[dguidry12]

But the phone is coming up on my drives as a camera and not like a usb drive like other phones

So you can see your files...

 

[dguidry12]

So you can see your files...

No I can only see the pictures and the folders.. When I open up the folder to see music or any other files they are not present. Only pictures. When I plug the usb into the computer it only sees the device as a camera and not a storage device.

So you can see your files...

I think I have to install drivers for this phone based on another android forum.. Ill try that but if you think of something please let me know.

Ok I searched the settings enought to find the answer. To connect your phone's storage to a PC you have to go to settings and go to USB utilities under wireless and network..Thats a silly place to put it but oh well at least I found it..Lol
