I want to move some video files from my Galaxy S3 mobile phone (Android 4. something) to my Galaxy Tab S tablet (also Android 4. something else, it upgraded to the latest version last evening) via the USB connection and a Linux Mint desktop machine. The first part of the job went OK, I connected the S3 to the desktop machine, navigated to the drives and clicked the Android option and all of the stuff on the phone appeared in folder on the desktop. Clicking down further I found the files and "copy"ed them into a folder on the desktop machine. All good, they are in .mp4 format but I found a player and installed it to the desktop and they play nicely.
The second part of the job didn't go so well. When connected the Tab S to the desktop machine there is some sort of block on the files appearing. I still get the Android drive and it mounts OK but no files appear. A timer shows for some time and then quits........
I remember when previously connecting the tablet to a PC (running winXP) that it went away and found a driver to install before it would talk to the tablet. The phone, running a previous strain of Android didn't need any form of driver on the PC.
Am I completely stuffed?
