Error communicating with device

peaceridge · 06-26-2016, 05:40 PM

Can anyone help with this problem? Not sure if it is a Calibre problem or a Calibre Companion problem or a Galaxy Note problem.

My Galaxy Note 10.1 (Android 5.1.1) has stopped accepting books from Calibre into Calibre Companion. It connects just fine, appears to sync just fine, but I can’t send any books (I've tried several in case it was just one book). I thought it might be the sd card, so I changed the cc library to main, but still no joy.
(NOTE: My Lg gpad x8.3 (Android 5.0.2) accepts the books into cc just fine.)

Here is what Calibre has to say.

calibre, version 2.60.0
ERROR: Error: Error communicating with device

Any help would be most appreciated.

Update:
Uninstalled Calibre Companion.
Reinstalled it.
Moved on book and all was fine.
Moved library to sd card.
Moved another book and all was fine.

Not sure what happened here, but everything is ok now.

I'm having the same problem trying to send books to my Kindle Fire HDX 7. I'm almost ready to give up.

Are you using Calibre Companion (CC)? If so, we should move this discussion to the CC forum. If not, could you describe what you are doing?

@peaceridge: just FYI: we have had more than one report of CC getting damaged by an upgrade on Samsung devices. Uninstalling and reinstalling has always fixed it, which was your experience. We have no idea what goes wrong. I suspect, with no corroborating evidence, that the problem is related to SD card permissions and cannot-be-damned-enough Android Storage Access Framework introduced in Kitkat.
