USB question - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was wondering if anyone could tell me if there is a way to hook my nexus 4 up to my CD deck in my car via usb and have it work is this possible ?

I'm afraid it won't work. The N4 only has MTP and PTP modes and a usual car radio can't handle those protocols. It would have been possible using mass storage mode, but unfortunately it doesn't support it

Nexus 4 as USB drive rather den MTP

Hi,
Is there a way to make nexus 4 as a usb drive rather den a MTP in windows? cos i think that the transfer is way slower via MTP.
Thanks..
Well no solution yet, but I've found something from another LG device:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1800935
Has anyone tried this command?
Would be great if this will work with our device though :fingers-crossed:
Maybe that will work!!!! But not sure will it cause other problems.....

Ok i just tried the command. All it's it does is unchecks MTP. If you go into storage USB connection you'll see MTP is not ticked..
I'm using paranoid Rom which is based on stock Rom and i have usb mass storage when connecting to computer. I had to uncheck usb debugging.

When usb debugging is off and i plug the usb cable to my laptop, the pop up with options to open folder appears on the laptop like if i was using a usb sick. I don't have to do anything from the phone.

Well, I tried the command I posted above. I am running CM10.1
I wasn't able to get any kind of usb communication at all after setting the prop.
Hopefully there's a solution coming soon. MTP is quite nice, but it sucks copying media files from different folders. You have to confirm every dialog

Mount N4 as a removable storage?

Hi is't possible to mount N4? as a USB storage ? Because when I connect it to my car via USB it doesnt recognize it. Maybe my car is MTP incompatible.
I also want to know if there's any way to set the Nexus 4 on the computer as a drive, like E: or something. Just assign a letter.
No.

[Q] How can I make my N7 act as a regular USB flash drive so my TV can recognize it?

Nowadays, there are a lot of TV's, radio's and etc. with USB port. This enables the user to hook up their USB flash drives to instantly play mp3's and even videos. Is there an app, tweak, or anyway that I can hook up my Nexus 7 to my TV via USB and act like a normal USB flash drive so my TV will be able to play it contents? Thanks!

Sorry, no chance. The Nexus7 does not support the USB mass storage protocol. Either your TV accepts MTP / WiFi (DLNA) or I do not see any chance.

Oh.. That's sad to hear. Seems I'm running out of options playing my videos on my TV since my it's (my TV) not DLNA capable. Anyways, thanks!

USB audio out to car?

The only thing I miss about my iPhone is the ability to control my music through my car in-dash. I have read that USB audio streaming has been enabled in jellybean, but I have yet to see it work in my car. Is it the LG G2 it self? When I used to connect my Nexus 4 it detected it as a usb device but no audio, but the G2 doesn't even get detected...just charges the phone. And yes I have tried switching between the usb modes in PC connections tab.
any suggestions or apps?
Safe to assume that you do not have BT capabilities in your car?

Sounds better through USB plus it charges my phone.
And no bt for music, only calls

You need to be rooted
Try multi-mount sdcard from playstore

Mount as USB storage

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
