I just got my G2 yesterday and so far am quite pleased with it.
I'm trying to connect it to my PC as a USB mass storage drive so I can have some of my applications access the files directly. These require the mount to be mapped to a drive letter (e.g. "g:"). I do not see an option to do that when I plug in my USB data cable. The only options are "Charge phone", "MTP" and "PTP".
Is there a way to mount the phone as a USB mass storage drive?
Wireless storage, can be mounted as a network drive. No mass storage through USB besides MPT. =/
First of all, is there a way to connect via USB 3.0 to a Mac? There is Android File Transfer which will support MTP but it's USB2.0 only.
Secondly, when I connect it with USB 3.0 onto Windows the connection drops every 2 seconds. I've heard that this is due to me having an SD card and you need to unmount it first? But if you can't use a card USB 3.0 is rather pointless because the internal storage I would assume is FAT32 and won't take files larger than 4GB anyway.
Hey everyone,
I was wondering if anyone can help me. I'm trying to put files like emulator files on my usb drive that has been converted internal storage (usb). My computer won't read the usb after it is formatted to be an internal storage.
I have the files on a sdcard but wondering how I can transfer all that to be on the usb drive.
Please let me know thanks!
As far as I know once you format any external storage as internal then that drive is going to be encrypted. This is the reason why your PC won't read it when you insert it back to its own USB ports. You can read it via NSTV if you connect it to your computer via USB cable as long as you enable USB debugging. To recover the USB for general use you have to erase it from NSTV/storage and then eject and then it might work again on your PC. I said it might because sometimes you would have to do a low lever format to completely remove the encryption. Good luck.
So here i have enabled adoptable storage using Root essentials. It is working fine but suddenly i found that my galaxy j5 is not able to explore any usb that i connect through otg cable. It detects the usb ( root essential shows a pop up when otg connects ) but how am i suppossed to explore it when it is not shown in file manager. ?
Can anyone tell me the best way to transfer files to the usb flash drive attached to the shield? I tried accessing the usb drive from my computer network but could only get into the 16gb internal but not my attached usb? Any reasons why?
Hello mmar141, You cannot access the removable storage connected to the Shield over the network, You can access Only the Shield's main storage or the drives that are converted Into Adoptable storage can be accessed over the network!
