"Neither solution works for me, copying to the root or an "unopened" folder results in the same thing, a long wait, followed by bitter failure. Ima thinking there's a bug somewhere."
After buying the new Galaxy Nexus, friends to find there are problem to transfer files to Galaxy Nexus from PC: fail to transfer or transfer files via USB is too slow. Then you can use Tapatalk send from Galaxy Nexus or Dropbox(free, and web browser/desktop interfaces. You could just use the app to upload your file to their server, then install the app on the new device and download it. I've used it many times without incident.
