Lightroom crashes on import with Samsung Android Phone plugged in USB

I went to import some photos taken on a Samsung Galaxy S3 phone into Lightroom 5.5 via USB. Plugging in the phone with import selected or selecting import with the phone already plugged in crashes Lightroom, every time. Now, I can copy the pictures to the computer and then presumably import them, but Lightroom shouldn't crash when a smartphone is plugged in...

Funny I should find this post on my first web search - I just updated from v5.4 to v5.5 only 10 minutes ago and *BLAMMO* . . . Lightroom crashes as soon as I hit the Import button when my Samsung Galaxy S III is attached via USB. This is on Windows 7 64-bit.
Lightroom v5.4 has been happily importing files from the same phone all along, so something has regressed in v5.5, it seems. Importing from a USB storage device should be relatively straightforward.
EDIT: I uninstalled v5.5 and reinstalled v5.4 - it imports without problems using the same scenario that crashed v5.5 above.
Little help, Adobe? Please? I'm willing to send logs, test various scenarios, etc.

Lightroom 4.4, but still crash on import with connected Android phone not fixed

I've got the same experience, but with a simple Nokia 3270 phone connected over bluetooth. Only tested on LR4.3.

Lightroom Crash on Import with CS3 installed

The last two days, I have been importing fairly large shoots from CF cards with Lightroom (Yesterday 147, today 79). In both cases I have received the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom has encountered a problem and needs to close.." message; twice today. I installed Photoshop CS3 Release yesterday and now I have Bridge trying to import the same set of photos. I noticed the Bridge import dialog today after LR crashed. By sending off the debug message and restarting LR I can finish the import eventualy. It shouldn't be this way and wasn't before I installed release CS3 (I had had LR and Beta CS3 on my machine with none of these problems.

Hi Holley,
Just back from a long weekend, hence the delay in replying..apologies.
Since I have now fixed the problem, I cant remember exactly how I sorted it, because I just stumbled through the various menus until I found the right solution! But, heres what I think I did:
Open TweakUI.
Open the drop down menu next to My Computer.
Click on Handlers.
In the window next to the menu, highlight Open folder to view files using Windows Explorer.
Click Edit.
Tick whichever boxes/tasks you would like to add to this folder. Obviously, the last one, Digital Images, will be one of them!
Click OK.
Thats it!
Note: There is no option to Take no Action. Once you have added any of the menu items, this option is added automatically by TweakUI.
Now, when you put a card in your card reader, the window should open with the option, Open folder to view files.
If this isnt working, reply and Ill try again.
HTH.

How to access the whole iTunes iCloud Library with an Android phone?

Hello all,
I am a newbie here, so please forgive me if I'm not following protocol here. I searched for the word "Android" in all of the support docs. and got 0 hits! Is there a corporate policy at work here?
I know that Google and Apple (and by extension Android and iOS) are competing hard for all of us techie music lovers out there who use both ecosytems. Well, Google Play wants to have my entire music library, Apple's ever at the ready with iTunes/iCloud/Match, and now I've even gotten solicitations from Amazon which has a "Cloud MP3 Player" with purchases ready to download that I made from Amazon in 2010, before I ever dreamed of getting MP3 files instead of a physical CD. I mean the liner notes had the lyrics to the songs right? Well, I enjoy looking at lyrics. Anyways, . . .
What are the best recommendations for how to access my iCloud music library with my Android phone?
Yes, one solution is to use both Google's and Apple's services and just duplicate everything everywhere. But, I'd just like to settle on iTunes/iCloud solution, but I have a brand new Android phone that I want to use. The iPhone 5 screen doesn't come close to my Motorola Droid RAZR Max HD! :-) Sorry, all you iPhone folks. You have all the app's., so I have to latch on to somethine for a reason why I stayed with Android!
Thanks,

Apple is pretty much the only one who does not support other platforms and it will be their downfall in the future. I have bought a few hundred tracks (and one movie) from iTunes before the competition started to catch up. Their Cloud service just came into Finland but I've already moved on to others. I've also bought music from Spotify, Nokia Music and Xbox Music. I've been a subscriber of Nokia Music, Xbox Music and now Google Music. I'm also a Netflix subscriber and I have a local IPTV service that also provides movie rentals from various providers - and guess what, they also work on all platforms.
The reality is that today was the first time in a long long time that I've actually even bothered to open iTunes. Lack of platform support will destroy iTunes in the long run. Apple is starting to look like Microsoft once did. Today you can even get Office for almost every platform - even mobile devices.
Limited access and/or features is also one of the biggest reasons that turn people away from legit services. DRM protected music was the reason I had over 20,000 MP3s before it was removed from iTunes. When that happened I deleted all the old files and became a honest, paying customer.

My iPad pairs using Bluetooth with my android phone but I ca't get it to connect

i can get my iPad to pair using Bluetooth with my android phone but I can't get it to connect

What are you trying to accomplish by pairing them? File transfer over BT is not supported.

How can I pair an iPad with an android phone via Bluetooth?

How can I pair an iPad with an android phone via Bluetooth? I get the pair message on both, but after acknowledging on both devices the connection fails to establish. I looked around and everything I found had to do with file transfer. I can share access to the internet via Bluetooth and it works with other devices I've tried this with. Thanks.

Sorry. After re-reading my question I realized that I wasn't clear. I don't want to transfer files. I want to use PDANet from my android and connect my iPad for internet access via bluetooth. I know this is a 2 way transfer of data not very different from transferring files, but I just want to be sure that this is not going to work so I can stop trying as if I'm doing something wrong. Like I said, I can do this with any other bluetooth capable device/computer I have. Seems like it's just not working either by design or as a result of some limitation. I guess 2 way communication with a headset gave me hope that internet access would work. Thanks!

I cannot send a text message to anyone with an android phone. Any suggestions?

I just got an iphone. I cannot send a text message to anyone with an android phone. I have tried turning imessage off and also wifi off. Any other suggestions?

I don't see the "Start new conversation from:" I spent 1 hour and 40 minutes last night on the phone with Verizon. We completely reset the phone after backing it up to icloud. His conclusion was I need a new SIM card and I will not be able to go take care of that until tonight. I don't know if that will fix it or not but that is what he said...

How to properly eject samsung android phone from mac

Any pros?
My mac doesn't even recognize the samsung android phone.
I can't use Android File Transfer, it says device not found.
Don't see "unmount" or "mount" in the phone's notification bar.
Android forum *****.
Any help?

Hi n,
If it's not mounted, there should be no need to unmount it. Open Disk Utility and see if it's recognized there, and/or System Profiler.
Also, you're showing 10.6.4. You might want to run Software Update to get up to 10.6.8.

Workarounds for Lightroom crash on Import...

Issue description
When importing or synchronizing folders in Lightroom 4, the application becomes unresponsive and Windows reports it as not working.
Event Viewer logs the following detail.

Report Id: 360e1014-e051-11e2-9613-fca983d8aa44
Workaround
The following items each prevented the issue from occuring.
Unplug phone (android - Samsung Galaxy SII) from USB port or
Unlock phone.
My guess is that the Import... and Folder synchronization operations invokes Lightroom to scan all storage devices including USB attached devices. Lightroom seems to choke on connected devices that has an empty volume list.
Workaround #1: Unplugging the phone removes the device from the list. Lightroom only has to deal with C:\ and D:\ partitions which are hard disk drives.
Workaround #2: In my case, unlocking the phone will allow Windows to list available volumes on the device. Lightroom probably does not know how to handle scenarios involving connected devices that has empty volume sets. Some devices may need more interactions to allow Windows to list available volumes. For me, leaving the phone unplugged was an easier workaround.

Investigation
To investigate the issue, I reproduced the issue using procmon.exe and filtered the trace to include events with Process Name = lightroom.exe.
Scanning the trace from most recent events to oldest, I noticed a RegQueryValue operation that resulted in NAME NOT FOUND. The detail that caught my eye was that the path included "SAMSUNG_ANDROID" which indicates Lightroom is doing something that involves my Samsung Galaxy SII phone that was connected via USB -- I don't know what and why.
As a wild trial-and-error test, I unplugged the phone. As a result, the issue could no longer be reproduced -- workaround #1.The second workaround was discovered after a few minutes of trial-and-error. I don't remember what my thought process was and am currently too lazy to type any more.
If this write-up helped you, awesome. If you have a similar issue but a different workaround, please share it!

Great!
I had the same issue, that could be resolved by your suggestion.
Actually, I renamed the module wpdmanager.mox to kill it's activity.
Disadvantage of this is that you will not be able to import files from SD card, but I copy to HDD using explorer anyway.
I totaly agree with your conjecture.

Is there Anyway to print to an HP printer on an isolated network with an Android Phone?

I've got a very unique situation and I have been unable to come up with a solution.
I have a jobsite that needs a printer. There is no internet at that location so I can't do a full blown eprint. The other tweak is that the users only have Android cell phones.
I tried setting up an older HP 5510 printer on a Linksys print server on a wireless router that did not connect to the internet and then putting a google play store app called "lets print" on the android phone and seeing if it would print. Look like it was going to work except it didn't. I could see the print going to the router then the print server and even what looked like going to the printer but noting printed. If I connected my laptop to the router and printed it work.
So, If I buy a new HP all in one (say the Officejet 5740) which has eprint capabilities can I just point the android eprint app at the IP address of the printer and get it to send the job there or is the internet absolutly required? Understand that I would have the android phone go on the local wireless network that the printer will be on and actually, the android phone may have internet through it's cell phone provider but the printer will not. I'm not sure if the internet is needed to render that's why I'm pointing this out.
This is a very tricky one. Deep thinking needed. Thanks for your help.

This question was solved.
View Solution.

You will need to install a printer capable of wireless direct in order to print from a mobile device.
It is quite straightforward and does not require that the printer have an internet connection.
The printer will use its own wireless radio and provide an SSID for you to connect to.

I can't get iPad 2 to link with my Android phone via Bluetooth... Is it unable to?

I tried to get my android phone to sync with my new iPad 2 but it said it was not capable of doing so. Is there any way around this? Is there something else I am not doing right?

There is no way to do this as of yet iOS 4.3 added Bluetooth support but only between iOS devices.
