Anyone else having nothing but problems with MTP? It's extremely slow for me and I have great difficulty transfering to the phone. It usually ends up failing and saying that the device has stopped working or been disconnected. Anyone else have any issues?
Nothing but problems with MTP

Yep, I agree...it's junk. I have not rooted yet, so I can't try the mass storage conversion, but if I have to move a ton of files I pull the card and use a reader. Not very convenient, but no failures so far.
What OS/bitlevel are you running? I have had zero problems so far on Win7x64, but have had a great many problems on XPx32.
If you're still running XP at all, I suggest you pull yourself up to this decade. It will help immensely.

I agree. Some idiot's "brilliant idea" at Google. fire them. I think I read somewhere it is for speed allegedly. Um, yeah. Well that hasn't worked out.
I hope they go back to regular USB mass storage in JB 4.1. I just want it to just work, and mount like a drive. Like I did on my old Droid. Worked, always. This MTP is crap crap CRAP.
Is the USB mass storage reliable in CyanogenMod 10? And is the reliable on stock (rooted) on VZW S III? (It works on stock TouchWiz if rooted right?)
MTP was created for the Windows Media player framework. So it was a Microsoft creation. It had nothing to do with Google. Ultimately it would have been Samsung that decided to use MTP and PTP instead of UMS.
And yes, I absolutely agree. It is crap.
MTP was put into place as a solution mainly because USB Mass Storage requires you to unmount from the phone before presenting it over USB, making everything on /sdcard unusable while the device was plugged in.
As I stated previously, if you're running on XP, MTP is still a pile of ****.
It's not perfect, but it's MUCH better on a modern OS.

Try "Myphoneexplore", it's working nicely wirelessly. I think it's the best wireless method. From your desktop you can see your contacts, call list, messages etc..and file transfer to either internal or external SD. Just make sure your pc and your phone are on the same Wifi network.
Edit: and it's free.

Unfortunately this is a limitation with the way internal storage is stored on new phones (it's basically like a writeable ROM), so it won't use any other mode than MTP.
You can always use this app since it works through adb commands rather than MTP: Android Commander
I'm glad I found this thread. I thought it was my ssd that didn't like the Samsung phone. My transfers take forever and yes it ends up failing. I didn't know there was a USB mass storage mod...definitely going to try that!
Huh, guess I'm the only one who doesn't mind it. Actually halves the time of data transfer between my on and my phone, I was pretty impressed.

On my Droid 2 I could choose how this was handled. Also if I remember right I remember accessing things on both phone and my Mac. Although I never tried to open or modify the same exact file on both at once (just asking for trouble there of course). Even if that compromise meant not accessing on phone while plugged in...it would still be better than this MTP crap. MTP SUCKS.
Thanks to to above poster about info on MTP creation, too. So it was Micro$oft's handiwork? For Windows Media? Ick. No wonder it's bad.
Sorry to bump an old thread, this is one of the first google hits.
MTP is still, utter garbage for me - several years on.
S3 and S4 - awful on both - just an utterly terrible decision to add it. I truly hate it with all my being.
