Incomplete device detection: Pixel C

technoir · 09-25-2017, 06:34 AM

I am having trouble connecting my Pixel C with Calibre. The device is detected - device and library information are retrieved but it inevitably hangs when trying to get the list of books of which there are only a couple. I'm running Calibre 3.8 on a Windows 10 v1703 laptop with an up-to-date Pixel C on Android V8.0.0. Note that Calibre works fine with my Amazon Kindle PW and I even tested it on another Android device - an HTC M10 - which worked OK too. And I've also tried different cables as well as following the basic troubleshooting instructions in the pinned thread and the FAQ. The Pixel is recognised by Windows and can transfer stuff. This is the resulting bug report:

Does anyone have any ideas? Cheers.

That looks like the device misbehaving, it might be easier to just use one of the wireless connection methods, as described here: https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/faq...kindle-fire-hd

I see. Would it be worth factory resetting the Pixel C to see if that would make a difference?

Sure its worth a try assuming you dont have any data you care about on the device.

OK. I reset my Pixel C, added a folder and all is good. I think my Pixel was getting flakey and there may have been a rogue app or two at work. Thanks for your help.
