USB connection to PC

[xtremedition]

Hi,

Whenever I connect my Galaxy Nexus to the PC via USB, the phone charges but does not show that phone is connected to the PC. So, I'm basically unable to transfer larger files (2gb +) to my phone. MTP is checked under USB computer connection. I've tried in both the front and back USB hubs of the PC. I would really appreciate a quick and usable solution.

What version of windows are you using?

When I plug mine in it automatically pops up the file folder.

I'm using Windows 7 Enterprise.

Did it as to install a driver or install one when you first plugged it in?

 

[xtremedition]

That it did. But I was unable to view the drive under Computer.

Hrm, should work just fine. Tried another cable? Could always just go into start>computer>portable devices>galaxy nexus.

Unfortunately, that doesn't help.

I would uninstall the drivers, restart, then plug the Nexus in and have it reinstall. If for some reason it doesn't work you'll have to find the most up to date drivers yourself. After you install the drivers I would restart just to be sure.

Are you rooted at all? Running any sort of custom kernel that allows fast USB charging?

 

[sbenson]

Yeah, are you running a custom rom? If you are, and fast charging is enabled, your computer won't "see" your phone. You'll need to disable it, disconnect, then reconnect.

I too have been unable to connect to my windows 7 pc. I don't even remember it asking for drivers.. maybe but I don't remember. I tried both usb types, but nothing. My OG connected like a charm. Where could I find the drivers to install manually?
I also tried connecting to a macbook air with no success either. It seemed to briefly recognise something was connected and brought up iphoto but then nothing appeared.

get the latest drivers HERE it will tell you what you have to do (windows only)

I am running GummyNex 0.9.0 and I have been wanting to upgrade to 1.0.1 but whenever I plug my phone in, it is not recognized? I don't know if this ROM has "fast charging" enabled, or if so how to even disable it? I would really appreciate the help..

Weird thing is, it has recognized the phone maybe 2/10 times that I have tried, but any time I try to transfer files it chokes up windows explorer and I have to force-close everything (Win7 Home Premium 64 sp1).
