So WiFi File Explorer outta work though if your other ftp type app did?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Thanks for the info. I remember using the app on my MacBook when I had the Xoom. I didn't mind it too much, but it was a tad annoying having to open the app rather than just pop open 'finder' and go. FWIW it DID work just fine for my couple months with the Xoom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wanderfowl:
Yeah, FTP apps of all sorts work fine. I use Transmit on the Mac to access the phone via FTP, and that works like a charm.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wanderfowl:
It works fine to the internal storage. Maybe I should've said explicitly that I had more issues using the Android File Transfer app with the SD Card in the Xoom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eksasol:
I'm glad Google gave this a thought, now they should make one for linux too, but they probably won't.

My post is pointless, but hell will freeze over before iTunes recognizes a Samsung device, lol. If it wasn't for laws and standard, they wouldn't allow their PC to recognize Samsung devices either.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wanderfowl:
That's the nice part about Linux. The people working on Linux have an active incentive to add this functionality, as it improves the experience. With OS X, they have an active (marketing) reason to not add it, anti-competitive behavior. Don't give up hope :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blunden:
It's a protocol native to the USB standard since 2008 so if Apple want to be standards compliant they should implement it. There are lots of other devices that use it as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TonyHoyle:
Those apps probably just need an update to libmtp.. for some reason that library has the device ID of every device it supports hardcoded in, rather than working out whether a device supports mtp in other ways as things like windows do.

If anyone has ported mtpfs to OSX you should be able to get that going (will probably do that myself when I get time.. Android File Transfer is OK but a bit quirky).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wanderfowl:
Trust me, I'm not defending it, but I can't imagine Apple in its current state implementing a change which would help in supporting a competitor's product (especially Android) just to be open and compliant. Given how willing Apple as a company is to cut off its nose to spite its face, I doubt that they'll rush to help their users here. Prove me wrong, Apple.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wanderfowl:
I've tried working with the existing mtpfs ports, but wasn't able to get very far at all. I'm hoping that ICS will spur people to develop further on that, maybe pulling it into MacFUSE.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blunden:
You certainly have a point and is the primary reason I dispise Apple as a company.

My main point was that it's not to be considered a "Microsoft protocol" as it's been part of the USB standard for years now. Nothing is stopping any OS from implementing it and as a standard they really should as it brings some nice improvements like not requiring the OS on the PC to have support for the filesystem used on the device. Considering FAT32 and exFAT are basically the only filesystems that work in all major OSes, the former being old and having severe limitations and the latter requiring a license it's nice to be able to use something like ext2/3/4 or any other filesystem of choice and still maintain compability.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vash1053:
Apple hasn't typically been particularly resistant to implementing standards and protocols used to communicate with 3rd party devices. Also, the major force behind Apple's resistance to just about everything is gone now... We'll see if they continue the trend without him.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wanderfowl:
Just bumping this again for the new crop of ICS users
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wanderfowl:
So I've just gotten my VZW Gnex, and unfortunately, Android file transfer seems to have the same problems with not refreshing the files in the folder as it did on the Xoom.

That said, if you're trying to get into a given folder and your Android File Transfer can't see the contents (or the folder itself), just reboot the phone and when it comes back up, the new folder should be there and right as rain.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JRT Studio:
If syncing with iTunes is your goal, you left out iSyncr. Our app can sync Android 3.0 and 4.0 devices with iTunes on a Mac over USB (and WiFi). If your Android device is supported by Android File Transfer, it is supported by iSyncr.

As always, you can shoot me an email if you are having an issue with this.

-Justin
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] datboiro:
I seem to be having a new issue. All of a sudden, I can't sync anything to my XOOM. I had to unlock, and re-unroot it to install ICS on it. I don't know why, but everytime I begin a transfer to my XOOM Android File Transfer instantly says that my my device is locked and I need unlock the screen and/or it can't access the media storage device. It's really frustrating. I can't push the SU.zip bc it gets lost in between the "Ext SD Card" and the "Internal SD Card." Long story short... my Xoom boots into ICS and runs perfectly fine, but I can't finish the root process. Any help?!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crookone10:
Android File Transfer supports files up to 4gb in size. This may be why you are having trouble transferring files that are 10 gb. At least this is the case in OS X Lion
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] datboiro:
I'm trying to place the su.zip into the root of the Xoom, the file is only 512kb. This is the only thing preventing me from finishing my root process.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] datboiro:
I've fixed my issue. Pretty much, just after my last post. I was able to save the SU.zip onto my sdcard from drop box. After booting into cwm, I plundered through the mount/unmount portion of my recovery. This is when I found the mount internal storage as sdcard choice. So I unmounted my sd, as this was the default option when I "choose .zip to install" from, and mounted my internal storage as sdcard. My su.zip was sitting there waiting for me. Just though I'd let you guys know that I have my xoom fully rooted, unlocked and running ICS.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NathanielCaron:
MTP news

Any news about the state of MTP?

Any new tools?

Android File Transfer is ridicule.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kindrich:
This is just a dump move by Google!! I'm pissed! Why didn't they just keep it like the Nexus S? No hassle, no non-sense... none of this MTP sh!t!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hahaitsjeff:
My Nexus S on ICS worked fine with Android transfer but I can't get my Macbook to recognize my GNexus. I don't know what else to do...:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jameslepable:
MAC OSX can't recognise MTP which is the format the GN flash memory is in. There are programs you can use that us PTP but to turn it on in GN go to settings >memory > *settings key* > usb computer connection > and check PTP. Should be all set then.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChazzMichaelMichaels:
Another interesting tidbit about this...

Google is largely a Mac shop. Some massive percentage of their machines are Macs, so it's even more bizarre that they would go this route considering they're more or less making life more difficult for themselves as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JRT Studio:
It is still not surprising. Google hates wires. I'm surprised they didn't just end USB support for anything but debugging.

That hatred explains why the MTP support of the Galaxy Nexus is not robust. Nobody tested it. I would bet they were told to dogfood "Google Music" instead of transferring files via USB.

Too bad they do not let developers test for months before releasing to carriers, like Apple does. At least then the community could help with the features Google does not think are important.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jameslepable:
Even if Google uses a lot of mac's it doesn't change the fact that the majority of the world uses windows. They didn't want a similar thing happing where the was no more app space like on the nexus s so they chose that format. Read this artical http://www.androidcentral.com/ics-feature-mtp-what-it-why-use-it-and-how-set-it it explains in detail the how's/what's/why's behind MTP. I personally use a win7 laptop so I haven't had any problem. I could understand feeling let down if I was on a mac but there are ways around it :).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blunden:
You are mistaken. MTP is a file transfer protocol and has nothing to do with the storage of the device. On the contrary one of the main reasons it exists is to remove the need for the host OS to understand the filesystem on the device.

You are correct that OS X doesn't implement that part of the USB standard though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nabil2000:
mtp port to OS X

Well, there seems to be a port for mtp through Macports now, if you issue the command:

$ sudo port install libmtp

it installs:

libusb-compat-0.1.3_0.darwin_10.i386.tbz2 (libusb-compat/libusb-compat-0.1.3.tar.bz2) <-- dependency

libmtp-1.0.3_1.darwin_10.i386.tbz2 (libmtp/libmtp-1.0.3.tar.gz)

it says it activates libmtp, but maybe some extra configuration need to be done such as create an Android rule, modify the fstab to point to an Android mount, (like for Linux) etc.

I just installed this and here is the install log:

$ sudo port install libmtp

or one can try fink, but not both ;)

maybe this will work... :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wanderfowl:
Homebrew also has libmtp, which installed cleanly on my Lion mac (brew install libmtp). So, now that we have this, is there anybody 1337 enough to write a tutorial on implementation to get files on and off my Nexus without using the blasted Android transfer program?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Delacor:
Thanks, will give it a try today and see if it works. But XNJB has also libmtp but it don't recognize my phone.. So don't much hope..

Will try secondly to put the new libmtp version in XNJB and see if that is working.

Send from my SII ;)

EDIT: People, this will take a bit of time, I have to read in in over 10.000 lines code, lets see what I can do with my knowledge.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nabil2000:
builds

It gets built well with fink too...

I played with a few of the exec files in /opt/local/bin (macports) and /sw/bin (fink), and not much difference in outputs, though it does complain that my Android Tablet is unknown to their config, for anyone interested, attached the outputs of my fooling around with this...

but it does not seem to show a way of how to mount internal/sdcard storage, unlike on Linux where mtpfs does that easy...

there is an mtpfs developed for the Mac/freebsd but I could not get it to build on my 10.6.8 OSX...

http://www.adebenham.com/mtpfs/ which needs fuse (http://sourceforge.net/projects/fuse/files/fuse-2.X/ <-- unable to build either as I have macfuse already in)

and my attempts to get a udev port to the Mac did not build either:

http://linux.softpedia.com/get/System/Hardware/udev-2863.shtml

(I tried to use the old egcs (C) compiler by symlinking egcs to gcc 4.0.2 with no success)

...

well my contribution to the pool to get a free mounter for Android on the Mac ;)

there is a company that provides it, but they are too expensive for only this functionality, (syncmate package version 3.1+)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] onthecouchagain:
As a Mac owner and someone about to jump on the galaxy nexus this was a very informing write up. Thank you op.

Can Dropbox be a solution?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] edude03:
Hey, so after a bit of work I almost have the Galaxy Tab 10 / Galaxy Nexus mounting natively on OSX Lion,

I had to do a bit of hacking to mtpfs and to osxfuse as mtpfs is for linux but anyway I can mount my galaxy nexus to a folder now, my next step will be seeing if I can write a daemon to automout it when it's plugged in.

Michaels-MacBook-Pro-2:mtpfs-1.1 edude03$ mtpfs /Users/edude03/nexus

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anton2009:
So.......... what's wrong with Android File Transfer? O_o It just pops up every time I plug my phone in through USB.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] edude03:
It's rather unreliable, plus you can't use an file system based apps in conjunction with it, since your phone doesn't show up as a regular drive.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ArmanUV:
I got mtpfs to compile too but I am seeing all kinds of error when I run it.

I either get "Unable to open raw device 32767" or "Segmentation fault: 11". One time it went all the way to "Listing File information" but it stoped there.

Did you do anything to mtpfs besides modifying sysfs.h include line and compiling with CFLAGS="-DFUSE_USE_VERSION=25"?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nabil2000:
MacPorts mtpfs support

MacPorts now support the mtpfs mounter... I never managed myself to get it to compile from the developer, even after including the MacPorts patch...

but it installs well using the usual command

$ sudo port install mtpfs

and then you need to do some magic ;) to get your tablet mounted

by creating a folder in media calling it say ACER500

and do:

mtpfs /media/ACER500

this assumes you installed libmtp with

$ sudo port install libmtp

or consolidated both in

$ sudo port install libmtp mtpfs

it also installs glib2 as a dependency...

You might get like me a fuse mount (yes you need fuse too)

which will have three items:

Internal storage, Playlist, and SD Card

the only thing, it is not stable, and keeps on losing connection, so some more work is needed to make it robust to be usable... but a step in the right direction...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ArmanUV:
I actually got it to compile and everything using homebrew (I can provide instructions if you want, I hate macport) but it doesn't manage to get very far. It gets up to here:

Listing raw device(s)

Device 0 (VID=04e8 and PID=685c) is a Samsung Galaxy Nexus/Galaxy S i9000, Android 4.0 updates.

Found 1 device(s):

Samsung: Galaxy Nexus/Galaxy S i9000, Android 4.0 updates (04e8:685c) @ bus 253, dev 3

Attempting to connect device

Android device detected, assigning default bug flags

and hangs for 2-3 minutes. Then it outputs "Listing File Information on Device with name: (NULL)" but it never mounts anything.

I even tried extracting the libmtp and libusb binaries from the android file transfer apk but it behaves the same.

As you said, the problem seems to be with libmtp. It's probabely microsoft holding out on some details to get everyone to use their stupid os. As soon as I heard ics uses a microsoft developed protocol I knew we were ****ed.

I am also emailing back and forth with the developer of mtpfs trying to debug.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nabil2000:
compiling

actually I scavenged the patches/post-patch from the MacPorts rsync folder...

I can get it to cpmpile from sources now, but it is worse...

installing it from MacPorts gives me a fuse mount, and I can see it on Finder, 3 folders, Internal Storage, Playlist, and SD Card...

but navigating them does not lead far, and copying, pasting or modifying is out of the question... not much use...

maybe MS is doing that...

it is good you are liaising with the dev...

as a side shot, I found qtADB and I am giving it a shot, it is a gui shell for the adb commands... maybe no different than the Android File Transfer package...

it requires qt 4.7 to run...

http://qtadb.wordpress.com/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nabil2000:
qtADB 0.8.0 for Mac, etc

qtADB works great on OS X 10.6.8 32bit

it has also far many more functions than plain file browsing and transfering...

basically it is graphics ADB++,

quite pleased with it...

the developer deserves support, and he uploaded his source files to SF...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ArmanUV:
thanks for the tip guys. I can't get it to work though.

Console shows: "posix_spawn("/Users/Arman/Downloads/QtADB_0.8.0_osx/QtADB.app/Contents/MacOS/QtADB", ...): Operation not permitted"

I did try the tip in the faq (chmod a+x the binary).

Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nabil2000:
Qt

You need Qt 4.7 installed, here is a link to the binary:

ftp://ftp.qt.nokia.com/qt/source/qt-mac-carbon-opensource-4.7.3.dmg

if you are running 64bit, you can get the cocoa version, or the latest version 4.8 (binaries easier and preferred)

Android File Transfer kills the Apple USB Ethernet device. There are message boards at apple.com with details but basically, if you install AFT, you can't use the USB ethernet adapter. It gets recognized but will never get an IP Address.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theCazza:
Hello everyone.

I got my GNexus 2 day ago, and i'm a mac user... So i download and installed "Android File Tranfer", but it recognize my phone only if usb debugging is off. Is that normal?

I'm going to try to root it with the Mac Tool, but i'm scared of this, probably, little problem...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rd27:
Yes, that's normal. You choose between the two using the USB debugging setting. To access files when doing USB debugging you can use ADB or tools based on ADB.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Esteway.619:
Ya its normal. Don't use a tool kit. Use adb. Here's a video I made with my old nexus s 4g. Its the same prosses for the galaxy nexus. Just follow the instruction and u are good to go. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sP9ZDWmbLVM&feature=youtube_gdata_player
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jordanishere:
On my 2008 macbook, the above is the case. I must disable usb debugging in order to use mtp. On my 2011 mac mini, this isnt the case and I can use adb and transfer files with no issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theCazza:
Thank you Esteway. ASAP I'll do it :)

I had to use the 1.5.8 because I have a powerpc but intel users can use the newer one 1.5.10.

I am no developer, but is there any chance to have a 10.4 powerpc version using the latest libmtp?

If you have root access and/or have a Clockwork based recovery you could try fixing permissions (through recovery or perhaps something like Rom Manager)... Sounds like possibly the setting just isn't getting set and one easy-to-try fix is permissions fixing!
