Erratic behavior when connecting to Samsung Smartphone/Kies

[hd_wizard]

Hi,

I've been having problems connecting to my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (N7105) via USB connection for file transfers etc.

When connected (successful only with Kies lite) I can see and traverse directories using Total Commander (8.01 oder 8.50B7).

The attempt to copy a directory with all its contents often result in no copying or partial copying. It's like copying a few directories and then just stops.

It seems that when I select directories and drag them to the destination window it work better than using F5 to copy.

First I thought it might be a rights issue, since F7 often didn't let me create files in the Phone directory structure, wheras I could create a directory on my windows side and then copy the directory to the Android side.

I'm still rather new to using TC on an Android device while connected via USB.

Does anyone have any thought on the subject or experienced similar behaviour?

I thought I could simply make a copy of whats on my phone by connecting and then copying the two directories \\phone and \\card using the F4 key.

Any attempt to do so results in having two empty directories on the destination (Windows) side.

Any help or pointers are greatly appreciated.

Recently a similar problem what found: Copying from the phone fails when the cursor (current file) stands on the "updir" item [..]. Try putting it on a file or folder before trying to copy.

F7 also fails in TC 8.01, try TC 8.5 beta.
