[Q] xoom sync to PC

I want to drag drop files, better yet, use SyncToy to keep the files on my PC current with files on the xoom. Since the xoom comes up as a "Portable Device" when plugged in via USB rather than a "Removable Disk", I am unable to use SyncToy. When I try and drag-drop files, it tells me the file may not work and asks me if I want to continue. I can select yes, but some files will not drag over.
Is there a way to make the xoom a "usb disk" like my droid x when using the USB between the it and my PC? My xoom is rooted, and is there any other options?
Thanks in advance!

Anybody?
This is annoying and a deal breaker for me on the Xoom, like the tablet but thinking about returning and going back to using Gtablet...atleast it could read my USB thumb.

No, honeycomb uses a different protocol so it doesn't need to unmount the sdcard partition everytime you transfer files. For music and video you can use windows media player or any number of programs to sync, for regular files you need to drag and drop I'm afraid.

Thanks for the reply!
That’s what I was afraid of. It stinks...I really like the tablet, but it’s not going to do what I need it to do.
I read that it would read a USB thumb drive if rooted (with the an extension cable) is this correct? If it would do that...I would be in good shape.

Yes, there is an older thread in the developers section about that.

Wifi Explorer is a good way to access and transfer files to and fro.

I went and looked in the developers section and believe I found the thread, seem involved and may be out of my league to attempt.

Thanks...I will check out Wifi Explorer and see if it will get the job done.

Can I ask, will this be the same for all honeycomb devices or just Xoom.....not being able to Sync is a HUGE deal breaker for me.

Anyone else having trouble mounting their Epic to the Mac running Lion? I just recently upgraded and am no longer to connect. Wondering if its just me.

Oh great...I haven't tried this yet, but I upgraded to OS X Lion, so most likely it won't work for me...
Damn, now I have to use SSH/FTP if I want to transfer files from Comp to Phone...

Nah, you have to buy the new OS on the Mac App Store for $30. Great deal in my opinion compared to Windows 7 Prices ($200+ jeezus!)
@Korey, what's 10.7.2? Isn't it the dev release of the new update or something?

I'll start by saying I've been Snow Leopard as long as I've had the Epic.
You trying to connect through a Cinema Display? When I connect my Epic to the monitor (24 inch with 3 usb ports) it never mounts, but if I connect it straight to the MacPro it does. Never been able to figure that one out, but I've found that to be the case. Real PITA because all of the USB ports on the MacPro and both Cinema Displays are used - although one of the ports on the display is used on a handy charging cable for the phone.
That said I've never had trouble mounting on Windows, straight to my PC or through a hub.
I think it's just a problem between Macs and our phone.
Sidenote - sometimes when I connect my Epic to the Cinema Display it causes a freak out and the Mac says a device was trying to draw too much current so it disconnects the hub inside the Cinema display which disconnects all connected peripherals, the webcam, and the speakers until I disconnect the screen's USB cable from the back of the tower and reconnect. Anyone have a clue how to prevent this?

I don't mean an upgrade. I mean the full thing. Yeah some are cheaper, but I mean ones like W7 Ultimate is very pricey

Glad to hear it's not just happening to me. Hoping Apple pushes out an update.
If anyone figures out how to mount their phone please reply in this thread.
Thx!

You guys had any luck getting this working? I have the same issue ... Running Cyanogenmod 7 on my HTC Desire.

Same here as well. although. I noticed the my Mac Book pro that gave with 10.7 doesn't read my epic as a mass storage device. But when I plug it into a friends mac book pro that was upgraded from 10.6 to 10.7 detects mass storage just fine.
I downloaded, and installed a update for Kies, but that didn't seem to do anything either ( i have rebooted yet, will up date this post if it works after a reboot.).
If anyone figures this out please update this thread.

Fix
Shutdown you Mac, boot into safe mode. Press and hold shift key after the chime when you power on your mac. You will know that you're in safe mode because only programs that came with Lion will boot. Fully boot into Lion, then restart back into regular mode. Connect your phone, turn on USB mass storage mode. Should be working now. Apparently the issue has to do with corrupt driver cache.

$30 every year vs. $250 every 5 years, both companies are about the same just one releases quicker and gets ya for small chunks when your not looking

[Q] USB on the GO

Simply ask Can I connect pendrive for my N7?

I don't know anything about your device, but generally there are three scenarios:
The USB-OTG support...
...is included into the kernel. You are set to go.
...is compiled as a kernel module (.ko) and can manually be loaded into the system. Normally, you will find kernel modules in /system/lib/modules/[sub directory]/
...is obviously missing. If this is the case, you can compile your own kernel module. This is off topic, but I might take some time to write a beginner's tutorial - if there is a common interest?

There are a few threads about it. You will also need a OTG compatible adapter

[Q] Nexus 7 + USB-adapter cable + 3g dongle?

I use an adapter cable for my Nexus 7, so I can plug in various USB stuff (Nexus 7 hosts the stuff).
I am quite happy with that, using keyboards, mice, external USB-drives etc.
My Q's are:
I was wondering a bit about the limits to this support and I guess it comes down to driver support on Android's behalf. I guess the peripherals I mention work on generic drivers/standards etc and is therefore supported as-is by the OS?
And in continuation of that thread: Would it be possible to add support for, say, a USB 3G dongle, would that require a custom driver or what?
Just an idea

vroot Verizon samsung note 3,,,need help

hey guys
completely new to the rooting of phones but managed to get it complete using vroot. I have played with it a bit. made it fun and custom but still have not figured out how to get what I was really trying to accomplish rooting my phone. I am really into Pandora and music listening in my car. I do not have bluetooth capabilities however I do have a USB media hub. like everyone else iPhone works just great plugged in but not my loved now rooted note 3. I have made progress by atleast having it recognized on the stereo by rooting the phone and using a USB Mass storage app however I still cannot get sound.... it still plays out the phone speaker. is there a app or mod or setting I can install or change to make this work? like I said I am fully a noob to this and all though I am learning and enjoy learning how to do this stuff I'm stuck. heck I may have put this in the wrong section too. any advise... tips ect would be greatly appreciated. also any apps recommended since I have now rooted. thank you

To be honest never had this problem I use mine in my pickup and work truck with no issues. Are you using the stock Samsung music app or play music? If so try downloading Apollo music or just a different type of music player in general. Also are you on stock firmware or using a custom rom ? It may also be something in the software.

I rooted it using vroot so I could download a USB Mass storage app and thought that would solve it. it does not say connected and supported but using Pandora it still only plays from phone speaker while hooked up via usb. is there a setting
