Dunno if this question has been exhausted before... but is there a way to activate mass storage device on rooted stock (jb4.1.2 - 98.30.1.XT907.Verizon.en.US)
neither the setprop solution nor the app works... :/
With my razr, for some reason, I have to set mine to media, and then click camera and then media right after and it usually shows all of my files. I don't know why but usually media is what shows your files. But not with mine.

Be sure to heed the warning about ejecting from pc/mac before you turn the usb mass storage off.
Or get the buggy android file transfer for your pc/mac.

How do you sync up the myTouch 4G with a Mac? I have a 13 inch MacBook Pro if that helps.
If you're talking about syncing with your itunes content, use the doubletwist software that is included on the sd card and install the app from the market.
I want to view the contents of my phones SD Card
I think I know what you're talking about. I had an issue with my computer not recognizing my phone when I plugged it in as well. Try use a different cable and usb port (this seemed to have worked for me). If that doesn't work, trying choosing the charging only option with your phone connected and then switch back to mass storage. If neither of those 2 work, then install the usb tethering drivers (I believe they should be on the sd card). Hope this helps.

should show up as long as u have disk drive selected in settings under connect to pc
I'm on a Mac guys, do does everything still work the same?
It should work the same.
I have a 13" Macbook from a couple of years ago and didn't do anything special, just plugged in the usb cable and it showed up as a disk drive in Finder. Just make sure your phone is showing the connection type as usb drive.
Btw, if you want to sync with iTunes, check out iSync available in the Market.

I tried doubletwist and hated it. Try isync instead
I'm a new Atrix owner having just switched from a 3GS. I love the phone so far but am having 1 problem I can't seem to find the answer to... so I am hoping someone can help.
For some reason, on my home PC, when I connect via USB, I can only see the phone's internal storage. On my work PC, I can only see the SD card. And the most annoying, everytime I disconnect from the the PC, all my call and notification ringtones are reset.
One thing... I didnt really pay much attention the first time I connected the phone and I let it install the Motorola software. So the Moto Helper has been autostarting the Motorala Media Link when I connect.
Does anyone have any idea what I am missing? It a quirky little thing but it's killing me. Any advice is much appreciated.

Well, for the Motorola Media Link, on your computer you can go into your Programs in the Start menu and in the Motorola folder there will be an "Uninstall" option which will remove Media Link and it will not reinstall after that. I did the same thing.
With the internal/external storage, have you tried selecting "USB Mass Storage" under the USB Connections?
And for the settings changing, I don't know.

Go to settings - SD Card & storage
All the way at the bottom you can change the storage location. It will only sync with one storage location at a time.

That only applies to Windows Media Sync. If you use "USB Mass Storage" you can mount both internal and external at the same time. The internal should show up as "MB860" and the external will show up as "Removable Storage"
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 have a hero running cm7, and I want to watch a few tv shows I downloaded. I have the files on my sd card, but I can't seem to get my xbox to recognize my phone as a portable device. I plugged it in and turned on usb storage, but no dice. Any tips?

Arent they completely different in how they.connect
Have you tried plugging in your phone without putting it on usb and rebooting your xbox??? Also you can transfer the media to a usb drive and try it that way if you just wanted to watch the shows. As far as getting the hero to be recognized as a ext hard drive. Try booting into recovery and selecting usb-toggle. I dont recall the exact wording. But its the option you choose to transfer files threw recovery. That might get it to see it as a hard drive. Hope this helps good luck.

Hi guys. I'm trying to mount via USB instead of mtp so I can plug my phone directly into my TV and play media via USB cable.
I've tried StickMount and a few other mass storage apps however haven't found one that works for me.
Anyone know of a way to mount via USB mass storage?

did you find a solution? this is major piece of the jigsaw missing for me with the s5.
Unfortunately not, however I have a WIFI TV connected to my router as is my phone.
For now I have just been sharing my media via Wifi direct to the TV. Not sure if it actually supports 1080p but it's the best I got just now.
Google removed MTP in Android 4.1.2. It can only mount as a network drive now.
Did you try turning on USB Debugging? It might work.
Use Drivedroid app, works like a charm
