Is there any way to get the phone to show as a simple USB storage device when plugging into the computer so that I can simply save files to the card etc? I know I can do this by using the Sony software, but what if I don’t want to use this and I am in an internet cafe etc? I know I can take the card out and put it in a usb reader, however that is not the point. Is there anyway to get this to work like my MP3 player, Phone etc. without resorting to special software or taking the card out?
Just plug via usb cable 0o and enable usb mass storage

For Pete's fookin sake.....
I mussa flashed 20 friggin ROMS to my WinMo Omnia....and I CAN'T EVEN GET THE DAMN DROID TO BE RECOGNIZED ON MY PC.
For cripes sake
So I loaded the USB driver.....on my XP PC. Plug in the droid. "USB Device Not Recognized...." OK....google....read....read...read... ah HAH...I'd set the USB Debugging mode to ON so I could root. Need to shut that back off. Done.
"USB Device Not Recognized...." .... again. Really? REALLY???? So....here I sit....unable to connect my REALLY nice Droid to my GODDAAMMMMMM PC
So...would somebody hold my hand here? Lill' help?
Have you tried switching different modes? Charge only, mass storage, pc mode. One of them might work.
Well I tried Usb and pc I wasn't sure about the other 2. When I was reinstalling the driver I noticed 1 choice was" remove", but I just picked repair. I'll try removing it tonight and then reinstalling it. I was hoping somebody might have an alternate driver to suggest

when you plug your phone into your computer, look at the notifications bar on your phone. Does it say that usb is connected?
Sometimes it helps to switch the USB port you plug in to.
So to see the data, are you switching the phone to Mass Storage mode? I know it's an obvious question, but just wanted to make sure...
Also some people had success hooking up to different computers.
I thank u all very much. My phone hooks right up to my wifes W7 laptop but no joy in any port, any storage setting, any gender of dead chicken being swung overhead while chanting in various states of undress. I did get it to rain,so that's sumpin. I quit.
I'm not gonna theme because I don't want to load the pc stuff on her computer (and listen to her complain that I'm "using up her memory"....u married guys recognize the die-on-this-hill avoidance) for the off-chance that things don't go right &I need to sob or abp or whatever that whole thing is.
I'm rooted,deodexed,de-bloatwared, and happy as a pig in **** with stock.
I might theme down the line if I can figure out how much crap id have to reload ... I'm frequently incapasitated by laziness and am tired of longpress deleting and longpress adding ...plus...I just bought power amp & don't wanna lose my license.
But its still fookin annoying that the goddam thing won't load on my desktop.
Peace out.

before you quit, could you try one simple thing?
have the phone on when you plug it into your computer. Once done, go to the notifications bar. If the phone recognizes the computer, it should say "USB connection".
Click USB connection and make sure its not on charge only.
To access the sd card, click on USB Mass Storage.
Man that's a good thing you and I go back so far. Is it was anybody else I'd say no forget it. I can tell you that the phone says usb connection. And I'm trying to find the sd card on the windows explorer
... are you saying there is somewhere else is the windows environment to click that I can determine if it's on mass storage or charge only?

Ok, here da deal:
Phone sees PC
Phone in mass storage mode
PC say "looky dere, m810,or sumtynes motorola.bla bla
Error occurred during bla bla
Bottom line: no removable drive in win explorer.
On the wifey's laptop it asks to scan, then poof! Dialog to do 5 or 6 things includir browse.
So thx y'all, but I'm satisfied for now with root,dedodex,de-bloated, running ADW Launch on stock.
Seriously, this is everything I always wanted my winmo to do...32gb sd & running pwr amp & I've retired my ipod micro (cuz the power cord gave up the ghost & ****in Apple wont let it work without their proprietary $20 cord ....on a $39 unit that holds 1gb? Heh..fuk dat....I digress. ) ...bookmarks to my cyber-haunts in short cuts that I can TALK THREADS INTO! Nah, im gold baby.

Well you can get dropbox and use that to push stuff or get andftp to ftp stuff. The motor drivers are finicky I grabbed the android sdk and used those drivers.

Hi guys,
How am I supposed to safely disconnect my Samsung Focus from my iMac? There's no icon of the device in the finder windows or in windows phone 7 connector.
Thanks!
Just unplug it. It is not connected as a USB mass storage. Hence there is no need for safely disconnect. It is always safe to disconnect as long as you are not in the middle of syncing.
Is it true for Zune on the PC as well? or do I have to safely remove it when i'm using windows?
Yes, same on the pc side.

This is... unreal.
Doesn't it ruin the internal memory or something? I never heard of a similar storage device.
One more time, it does not show up as a storage device. So there is nothing an OS can ruin.
On PC, even most flash drives are automatically recognized and configured in a way that can be removed anytime without fearing of ruining of the storage device.
Got it. okay, thanks!
One more question: if I delete all the AT&T apps, where can I find them if I want to reinstall them?
I didn't think not having Mass Storage USB would suck this much. Just about every large file I transfer errors out.
This is a huge problem.
This happening to anybody else?
Fixes?
Is your SDcard formatted in fat32? I saw that with a 32GB thumb drive that I had.
What is the suggested large file compatible format to use with Android?
Card is FAT32.
I can't even put the files on phone storage.
Camera mode does the same thing.
define what you consider a large file and i will see if my phone has the same trouble.
I can transfer data from the phone to pc via usb connect but can't go the other way.
I can't transfer data from the pc to the phone via usb connection.
someone please help!!!!

are you using the usb cable that came with the phone or an aftermarket cable?
i had this problem before with an aftermarket cable that was solved by using my usb cable that came with the phone. I couldnt tell you why one worked and the other didnt though.
fat32 will not take files above 4GB its just not possible you prbly need to reformat your memory card inside of your gs3
I'm having the same problem - I am using an old samsung usb cable though. I can't get the picture files off of the phone via ptp nor can I get the usb mtp driver to install. I'll have to try when I get home to use the cable it came with. I'm wondering if the port on my s3 might be bunged a bit too.

No, it's the cable - I'm thinking the pinout changes for MHL are making it touchy about old cables.

Might have to stick with transfering via kies air for a bit until I confirm that idea..
I can transfer little files back and forth but anything over 400mb or so gets about half way and fails.
I have not had any trouble with the WebSharing app on the market even with very large files...

Only the exFAT format is able to accept files larger than 400 mb. FAT32 will not work.
*I meant 4000 mb, my bad.

Not sure what's going on. I just transferred a 700 mb file to the phone and then back to the computer without any trouble. This was using the cable that came with the phone on windows 7 64 bit home premium.

just my two cents..... but i can transfer a 1.95GB zip file both ways
to both internal and external memory
I have trouble transferring a large amount of files such as backing up my internal storage.

Hi, i wanna know if i can load music in my motorola atrix without a SD Card and if i can can anyone explain my how to do it ?
Have you tried connecting your phone to the computer at all? The Atrix shows up as a flash drive. From there, just drag and drop.

Just go to the Motorola site and download the driver (you need it in order for your computer to detect it).
sent from SG NOTE II
Or use bluetooth or some wifi transfer app like AIRdroid - free from the market.
Install proper drivers, connect with cable, computer recognizes phone as normal USB disk drive. Copy music anywhere on it. Quite trivial really.
Is there anyway possible to access this phone on a Mac? I have tried so many options, and the only one available is wirelessly. Anyone else able to get the phone to recognize when plugged in via USB? I don't have a memory card in it but I don't feel that should matter.
Thanks for help in advance.

Have you tried AFT? Android File Transfer
If you want to sync iTunes...try iSyncr
Both work great on my rMBP and my S4.....
kies works too
The problem is getting my Mac to recognize that the SG4 is plugged in. It charges but doesnt detect. USB debug is on but I still get nothing.
Installed latest kies on my mac, connected both my s4 and mac to same wifi but kies wifi on my phone doesn't see my laptop...
