[Q] Fresh CM9 install. Win 7 PC won't connect to Touchpad.

---

Hi all,

Just flashed CM9 on my Touchpad and am wondering if I'm missing a USB driver or something. When I was on WebOS I could connect the TP to my PC and select the option to turn on Mass Storage with no issues. After flashing when I connect the TP Win 7 tries to install a driver but fails to do so.

What am I missing? I can connect my Galaxy Nexus to the PC with no issues so I'm at a loss.

in storage under advanced theres a setting to connect with usb.mine works.win 7 still said failed to install driver but it still works

Yeah go to storage, select the three dots on the right hand corner and press USB computer connection. Then select MTP. I had to switch mine between MTP and PTP a couple of times before windows 7 installed the driver properly.

Bingo. That was it.

Thanks guys!

(Isn't it odd that neither MTP or PTP is checked by default?)

Edit: Looks like I spoke too soon. When connected via PTP the computer recognizes the connection but for some reason won't let me copy/paste anything to the SD Card. When I try to connect via MTP the PC just says its a "USB composite device" so I can't access the volume. Grrrr.

Windows XP and MTP Problem

---

I had problems trying to connect to windows XP via the MTP interface but the driver kept failing to install.
I checked the MTP box and tried switching between MTP and PTP but with no joy.

I then switched off the USB debugging in Developer options reconnected and XP installed the driver fist time and all is working well.

Thanks for the help!!! Keep up the good work.

BAM! Worked like a charm!

I was getting a little frustrated. You guys are lifesavers.
