[Nexus 7 General] TheBeano:
Another way of fixing this on Windows 8: This problem may happen because you have the Google ADB driver from the Android SDK installed. Windows will pick the ADB driver over the MTP driver, even when USB debugging is turned off on the Nexus 7. It also comes back when you upgrade from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1. To fix this:

Plug the Nexus 7 in and make sure USB mode is set to MTP

Run devmgmt.msc

Locate the ADB driver, which may be under "Android Devices" or "ADB Devices"

Right-click on it and select "Update driver software"

"Browse my computer for driver software"

"Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"

With "Show compatible hardware" checked you should see two drivers under "Model":

"Android ADB Interface"

Either "MTP USB Device" or "Composite USB Device"

Select "MTP/Composite USB Device" (that is, the one that isn't "Android ADB Interface") and click Next.

Device should now appear as an MTP device.

Confirmed working with the Nexus 7 2013 as well.
[Nexus 7 General] sluma:
Thank you, that worked exactly how you listed it.
[Nexus 7 General] drumtrucker:
Reinstalled ADB drivers to try this... MTB device does not appear on list.

Why can't someone just post a link to the drivers needed for MTB to work?
[Nexus 7 General] drumtrucker:
SOLVED:

in device messenger, right click on 'unknown device' and update driver/browse my computer../let me pick from list.../portable device/Manufacturer(standard MTP device)/MTP USB device

say YES to install anyway (even though it will blow up the world). after install, unknown device changes to Nexus 7 (or 10 I would hope, but I have 7), this also fixes problem with my Kindle Fire HD 7.

YaY!
[Nexus 7 General] SnowTao:
Hi. Totally confused Nexus 7 noob

I've been reading and searching and reading and.... on my Win 7/64, there is no "Other" or "Unspecified Devices" in Device Manager. There is no Nexus 7 under any option in Device Manager. {sigh} Device Manager also does not show either "Android Devices" or "ADB Devices."

I've tried having Windows search for new hardware (it found my wireless router, not my Nexus 7).

I've swapped out the USB cables and tried different USB plugs on the CPU and on a powered hub (the plugs all work with other USB devices).

The Nexus WILL read a thumb drive, so the plug on the Nexus works

I tried turning off the Nexus, rebooting the computer and then plugging the Nexus back in and turning it on. Nothing, Windows did not see it "arrive."

"Safely remove hardware" does not see it.

I looked for a folder on the C: drive that has google drivers in it, no such folder.

I unlocked Developer Options and tried switching between Camera and MTP modes.

I turned off USB debugging.

I have a semi-solid memory that I WAS able to plug the Nexus in and TRF files across a USB cord when I first got it (mid-December) -- but I'm not 100% sure (I'm old and my brain leaks...).

My Win 7 is completely updated, according to MS. I'm baffled. What can I try next? Thanks. (Sorry this is long -- I DID watch the funny noob movie when I registered, and tried to balance: "be short" with "provide all the info.")
[Nexus 7 General] luala:
It works for me, thank you very much!
[Nexus 7 General] TheBeano:
Try usbdeview from Nirsoft, it will show you what device (if any) the Nexus 7 is registering as when you plug it in.
[Nexus 7 General] issak42:
Doesn't Nexus 7 Toolkit (the tool for rooting and all) also install some drivers?

I haven't really have any problems connecting N7 to W7 (lol) stock, but since I've rooted it (and the toolkit installed their own drivers), I've had even less problems.

Only thing I don't like is MTP itself, I'd prefer removable drive, so I could easily manage files and all from total commander, but that's a design flaw, not a bug.
[Nexus 7 General] IcedDog:
stalnie betw.

You the man! This worked for me too...was getting really frustrated seeing that MTP yellow error icon and not having my N7 appear in explorer during USB debugging mode.
[Nexus 7 General] czaplin:
thanks!

Thanks! Simple and brilliant :)
[Nexus 7 General] remmons:
I tried this, but it did not work for me. With "MTP USB Device" driver installed, I still could not see my Nexus 7 in Window Explorer. I tried deleting drivers, installing, updating, to no avail. Finally, one of the times I picked "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer", I saw a "USB Composite Device" in the list. I picked it. It installed, and suddenly my Nexus 7 was visible in Windows Explorer. Here is the info on the driver:

Driver Provider: Microsoft

Driver Date: 6/21/2006

Driver Version: 6.1.7600.16385

Digital Signer: Microsoft Windows.

I have a Nexus 7, running Android version 4.2.2

The computer I was having trouble with is running Windows 7 Pro. I have another computer, running Windows 7 Home Premium. It has always been able to see the Nexus 7 in Windows Explorer. It has the same *old* driver installed. I did not know where to get that driver from. I just hit on it using the procedure above.

Here are some of the drivers which did NOT work for me:

Driver Provider: Google Inc.

Driver Date: 5/24/2012

Driver Version: 6.0.0.0

Driver Provider: Google Inc.

Driver Date: 8/27/2012

Driver Version: 7.0.0.1

this worked perfect on my n4 win8x64

thanks

stupid google and lg, thanks a lot for not providing good drivers or usb disk mode (like nokia)
[Nexus 7 General] drieksje:
worked fine for me also, thnx a lot
[Nexus 7 General] mitech11:
Thanks Bro!!!

Literally banged my head on computer before finding your solution.. Just was not deleting the old drivers. Uninstalled it so many times. Deleting the old drivers is the key.

However, still my TV is not liking the MTP. Banging my head on TV now.
[Nexus 7 General] getmefive:
THanks a lot.. works fine !
[Nexus 7 General] jkkk88:
Guys, for easy file access on n7 from computer you can also use network access . Just install ftp, sftp or similar server from play store. On cm 10.1 it is enough to configure builtin sshd to provide sftp server. And on computer side then total commander, winscp or another favourite tool.
[Nexus 7 General] IcedDog:
Thanks!! I did this with my Gen 1 Nexus 7, but I just picked up the Gen 2 and forgot the steps to fix the MTP issue...once again, it worked like a charm :good:
[Nexus 7 General] ifriteffect:
You sir, are a life saver...I went through sooo many forums and such trying to find the right answer, unfortunately not a lot had info on Windows 8. Thank you.
[Nexus 7 General] CCT1:
thanks much

This is what finally worked for me...and on XP. The ADB driver was taking over the MTP driver and I couldn't stop one without stopping the other. Thanks so much!
[Nexus 7 General] RED_:
God dammit this is happening to me. I definitely screwed something up with the android SDK because under device manager the Nexus 7 is showing up under "SAMSUNG Android phone" and the name is "ASUS ADB". Unfortunately nothing has worked so far. Something must have screwed up when I had to reinstall my Galaxy Nexus driver for me to continue developing (Well sending apps to it anyway).

Any ideas?

I'm almost sure everyone has tried this method already and failed just like I have. Just gonna use airdroid for now.

[Nexus 7 General] evaradar:
Worked like a charm! I have been wondering why it was only affecting my Nexus 7 but not my other Nexus devices. I had to switch to camera mode, transfer files to the DCIM folder and then move them to their respective locations. Vice versa when transferring to the computer.

[Nexus 7 General] Edbert:
I do not intend to necro this thread but just wanted to help out others.

I was having a very similar issue on a Galaxy Note 3 connected to Win7x64. Worked fine with PTP but failed entirely as MTP.

I was not able to fix it by downloading different drivers, I tried several sources for that. I was able to fix it by using a generic (the ones that come with Windoze) driver though. If you click on "update driver", then browse, then "let me pick"; you should see one or two listed as "MTP Device". Uncheck the box saying "show compatible hardware (I know it sounds wrong) and then you'll see, still within the "(Standard MTP Device)" category on the left a different driver in the right side pane. Choose "MTP USB Device" and accept.

It fixed mine completely, and no more downloads or reboots. Definitely worth a try IMO, hope it helps someone.

Not working!

I get none of the nice stuff everyone else is seeing.

My Nexus 7 (2012) comes up as an UNKNOWN DEVICE. When I go to uninstall it, I don't get the option to also delete drivers. When I try to browse and install drivers, there's nothing about MTP devices. In Device Manager, nothing comes up but UNKNOWN DEVICE. I don't see anything about ADB device or Android device. USBDeview only ever shows it as an UNKNOWN DEVICE.

What's really frustrating is when I plug it into my Mac...it works fine and is recognized.
[Nexus 7 General] bamaredwingsfan:
Your fix was right on the money
[Nexus 7 General] dtg7:
If you're on Lollipop rooted with USB Debugging on, and have Adbd Insecure app running on auto start, you should update it. I had the same issue and updating that app fixed it.

Turning USB Debugging off should work too, but not a good idea.
[Nexus 7 General] shaftspaz:
Thanks for the advice, but it's not rooted. Running stock KitKat 4.4.4.
[Nexus 7 General] inuZ:
Finally I can use my Nexus 7 normally. I spent already days searching for a solution when my Nexus 7 MTP didnt work... god those headaches this caused...
[Nexus 7 General] dtg7:
OK well what you want to do is check to make sure the device is registering a hardware id to your computer.

Go to Device Manager, right click on your Unknown Device, select Properties, go to the Details tab, then under Property select Hardware Ids

It should show USB\VID_18D...blah blah either on one line if you have USB Debugging Off or two lines if you have it On

if it shows that then you should be able to install the correct drivers by downloading them from here: http://support.asus.com/Download.aspx?SLanguage=en&m=Nexus+7&p=28&s=2 and using Update Driver in Device Manager pointing it to the folder you just downloaded.

Changing USB cables and ports might also help.

If the Hardware Ids doesn't show that but instead says something like USB\Unknown then there's something else blocking things. If you're lucky switching USB cables and USB ports will fix it. Or like mine there might be some app running interference, in which case you can look through your downloaded apps and uninstall any suspects. or if desperate try factory restore.

otherwise, if it's a hardware issue.... not much can be done there

Hello all,

Frankly I am not sure that this even belongs here but I think its the closest fit to the forum that I am seeking. If there is a community better suited to answer this please direct me there :) I have a question about the findall function in webviews. I know that it is deprecated, in eclipse this comes up "The method findAll(String) from the type WebView is deprecated". This is the code I have:

public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
if ((event.getAction() == KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN)
&& ((keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER))) {
wv.findAll(findBox.getText().toString());
try {
Method m = WebView.class.getMethod("setFindIsUp",
Boolean.TYPE);
m.invoke(wv, true);
} catch (Exception ignored) {
}
}
return false;
}

I just want to have a functioning find/search in a webview. So far this functions great for only some versions of android, versions such as 4.0, 4.0.3, and I believe 3.0 do not function correctly.

Older versions of android such as the 2.x series and my nexus s on 4.1 work great.

Anyone know of a workaround for a webview function to work on all android versions? If there is something completely different form this I am willing to listen, at this point I only am looking for a functioning search on all versions.

Thanks everybody!

but if i keep it on the whole time, wouldnt it use more battery compare to turning on/off

unless turning on/off actually drain battery which i doubt
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] clowney:
i'd agree that if you switch it on and off continuously, it will drain more. probably gotta create another connection with the cell tower, rather than maintaining it, i suppose. This is my guess, might be wrong.

But if you floor the accelerator and then lift your foot off, floor it again, that will burn through your fuel faster than if you just left it on :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eqjunkie829:
I used to think that leaving data on full time would kill my battery, but it doesn't seem to impact battery very much at all. You just have to make sure that you don't have a lot of things syncing all the time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] airkenada:
So just leave 3g on full time. How about when playing games?? Leave on or turn off
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eqjunkie829:
I don't play enough games to know if it would affect it or not.

Hey guys, my Nexus 7 running Paranoid Android 2.2 has suddenly starting acting very strange in two extremely specific ways:

1. YouTube videos won't play. Comments, recommended videos, etc. etc. all load fast as lightning. The video? Stays there on the "loading" circle forever, until eventually it displays "connection to server lost touch to retry"

2. Apps won't download/update. Again, everything else in the play store loads fine, but downloads and updates are stuck on "downloading" forever.

I cleared data/cache, and reflashed apps, and it did absolutely nothing. Everything else on my Nexus is fine. I can go to megaupload and download a huge video file no problem. But these two apps both have these very specific problems. It's EXTREMELY frustrating.

What should I do?
