Help Transfering pictures to computer

[melias31]

I am trying to transfer my pictures from my Nexus to my windows computer. I've have tried with both my Wife's phone and mine and every time it freezes up Picasa. I have tried on a windows 7 laptop and a windows xp desktop and it does the same things each time it can't open the files on the phone and it freezes and closes the program. It installed drivers for both the MTP and the PTP options and still nothing. I haven't had problems with a droid, droid 2 or Droid eris. not sure why the new Nexus would be such a problem. Anyone else having problems with this?

I use AirDroid, free in the Market. You have to be on the same wifi network, and it effortlessy lets you wirelessly transfer anything to the phone, our to the pc.

I don't think wifi is the answer simply because if you're transferring large files or a large number of files wifi can take forever.I use wifi transfers too but not for the things I mentioned above, when I do use wifi I use ES file explorer.

As to your problem, others have experienced the same issues, I don't think anyone has a resolution yet.
Some said using a different cable, especially the one that came with the nexus works.

quickest wat I have used is to email them to yourself over 4g

I use picasa to manage my pictures. Im surprised that it won't work with the Google phone.

Times are really not terrible. I transferred a 2 gb movie today, and it only took 5 minutes.

Why doesn't it work to just upload to your Picasa dropbox, then download them to your computer of choice?

That's just one file. I had 8 movies, 45 south park episodes and countless mp3's.
Over USB is faster for me.

Agreed, if transferring that much stuff, USB is better

I do use wifi for new pics, notes, docs, etc.

I have now tried 3 computer's with two different GNEX. I have tried Picasa and Windows live photo and every time I try to transfer files it freezes up. I know I can transfer files other ways. But I like to keep things organized in Picasa. Just hope Google fixes this soon.
