This method of accessing phone memory is thought obsolete. Owing to various reasons MTP mode is found in all devices having huge Internal memory. But there is awesome workaround,
Download https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=os.devwom.usbsharereval where this app enables a virtual USB Drive. While This is an advanced app requiring Root access and prior knowledge of SuperSU, XDA has huge info if you're willing to learn about those. Try this free version app and if it helps consider purchasing https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=os.devwom.usbsharer which allows unlimited files on your USB Virtual drive...

Is there any way to use the full size USB port to copy files from an android phone or digital camera to the tablet? I've plugged in my G2 with CM7 and put it into mass storage mode but I don't seem to be able to access files on the phone through Astro.
I know the port can charge my phone and if you format a jump drive or external hard drive in FAT32 it will connect to that but its frustrating that the one think I would realistically use it for most often doesn't work.
Buddy of mine plugged his portable external drive to it that was full of movies to watch. And the Media Player found them all. Make great for trips if you wanna watch movies and such on it.
I'd love to eventually plug my HP TV tuner in there...
Hello,
I am planning to buy SGS2 OR Galaxy Note and was wondering if it can play 1080P/720P full length movies on it... All my movies are around 5-7GB in size.
Also, will there be a problem playing frm internal memory as it wont support anything greater than 2GB?
Plz post your expereince for "playing Big Files"
i have played 10 gb blue ray rips(full hd), via wifi streaming and it played like charm. Didnt tried copying things to phone memory, as you said the file system wont support larger files, but you can try formatting your card to ntfs or exfat with suitable mods, if you want to use those bigger files
The CPU/GPU cannot be beat by anything in the market for playing hidef movies. No matter the format or bitrate I can't find a file this phone can't play, and most of my downloads are 1080p high profile from my media center PC. BUT if you use fat 32 (default) you'll be limited to 4gb per file. Maybe use ntfs (search here)?

From the above, i see tht the phone can play big files with no problem and i just have to format my Sd card to NTFS... But wht about internal Memory? can it be formatted to NTFS - If yes, its simple OR i have to hack sumthing ??

For it to support NTFS, you need root and do some trickery. It is not straightforward.

Frm wht i understand i have to buy a "USB Wifi-Adapter" and plug it into my windows PC, and pair it simply with my phone and i can play all files on my PC on my phone, Am i understanding right?
Also, i am using wired internet on my PC, this way will i be able to use my wired internet on my phone as well thru Wifi ?
If i can manage the above with just an adapter, then whts the use of Wifi Router? Pardon My ignorance...

A wifi router is simply enough to do the task. Yout pc dont need a usb wifi adapter.
All the data are transmitted from your pc to mobile via wifi router.
Once you have a wifi router on your pc to transmit data, you can try the following apps to play the movies from your pc to mobile.
1.VLC direct.
2.ES File Explorer.
The later one is much efficient
Hmmm... Wifi Router is big and pricey.
So, i think if work can be done with a portable USB Wifi adapter why to see anything else?
Plz can u do lil more explaining, as i really suck at this part of wireless technology and why i cant just use adapter?
@craige
Wifi router is not that much expensive, you can get one from belkin or netgear for cheap rates.
1.Once you install your wifi router in your pc, the work is pretty much done.
2.Connect your phone to your wifi.
3.Installed the above mentioned softwares.
4.Configure it and start watching movie from anywhere within your wifi range.
USB WiFi adapter will most likely only allow PC to connect to WIFI network. But you need a router or WiFi access point to host your wifi network. WiFi is not like Bluetooth where you connect one device directly to another.
So cheapest option might be wireless router or access point. It all depends on your network configuration at home, like what other devices you have and is there an empty Ethernet port on your main internet box (broadband modem).
Why not watch the movie on your nice big monitor? Or better yet, stream to a massive tv rather than a 4.3" screen. I can't see why I'd need this in my own home...

Installed ES File Explorer and now I can browse all the shared folders in my PC over WiFi but I can't seem to play MKV files. Do I need to install a different player app in the phone or should ES File Explorer do it?
Install MX Player, that should help.

Just about to say the same....
How do you guys stream 1080p mkv's smoothly, I just bought a TP-link WR1043ND 300 Mbps N router and on my phone it says I'm connected at 65mbps. I stream SD movies from my pc to my phone fine but HD movies stutter.
P.S. using ES File Explorer and Dice player
Well it's official, I'm at my wits end trying to figure out just how to connect my Note 10.1 to my Macbook Air connecting via USB cable. Every time I connect the two, I can't find it ANYWHERE on my laptop !!!
Anyone else experience this all too frustrating conundrum???

I've had this issue since I bought it months ago. Use AirDroid.

Android file transfert works fine. Do NOT install the Samsung USB driver from kies this Is complete ****. airdroid is **** too you can't even copy a folder. ah don't forget to disable USB debbug otherwise aft won't detect your device.
I've never been able to see any of my Android devices on my Mac without using Android File Transfer & I believev that's the way things just are.
The problem is that Android only presents itself over USB as either a media device using MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) or PTP (PrinterTransfer Protocol) standards - settable in settings. It does not support USB Mass Storage protocol.
Windows supports MTP out of the box for Media Player, so when you connect your Android to it - it shows up as what looks like, for all intents and purposes, a hard drive. In the Note's case - you get two: one for the internal simulated 'SD' card - and one for the actual SD card reader. This is why when you copy files to and from the Note, the experience is a little weird - it will offer to convert files for you, for example.
Unfortunately, MacOS X doesn't support MTP because, I suspect, Apple wants everyone using iDevices and their proprietary iTunes protocols which aren't compabtible with MTP.
Now, while it's dumb of Google not to support USB Mass Storage in Android, it's equally dumb of Apple not to support MTP in their OS.
Fortunately, there are addons you can get to fix this (as noted above).
Windows users (and I suspect, Linux ones as well) don't have a problem.

It's not across the board android, just the tablets. All my phones up to the note 2 would connect as mass storage even with exchange installed. Even the og note
I've just found an app called ES file explorer. Set up your Mac as a smb server and you can access your files via wifi. Much faster than blue tooth.
A video file transfer from my macbook to my note 10.1 took 4 hours, similar file via wifi took about 5 mins.
Still testing the app, but quite pleased so far.

Kinda. I don't think my Galaxy Nexus phone shows up in MacOS either (it's been a while since I checked so I could be wrong).
To complicate matters, each vendor adds bits to the OS. For example, Asus Transformer Primes can read NTFS drives out of the box - but most Androids can't. They've added something to the kernel to add the capability.
AFAIK, the base Android doesn't support USB Mass Storage on the host port.
Did u try to mount the drives in recovery? I'm assuming your rooted

Hi
Can I play movies on PC from nexus 4 while it's connected with USB cable like it was a regular flash drive?
When I try doing it the file is being downloaded first then plays. If the file is big it takes a lot of time.
I'm using windows 8.
Better copy the film to your pc first. I got the same problem but dont think this is os related. Just a bad read speed, worse than actually usb 2.0.
The speed is onpair with usb 2.0, still copying the whole movie to some unknown place instead of direct play is unnecessary and waste of time.
My previous phone had an sdcard which appeared as hard drive when connected to PC, but N4 appears as portable device. This sucks
That's because the Nexus 4 doesn't support USB On The Go. Search xda for "Nexus 4 OTG" and you'll come across some threads about this, and a couple of workarounds that might, or might not work for you :fingers-crossed:.
Hey there
I wasn't looking for USB OTG, which is a way to connect external drives to the device. I'm looking for a way to use N4 itself as a regular external drive while connected to PC. Currently it's seen by PC as a portable device and it's pretty limited.

I would assume increasing the SD read-ahead (if you're on a custom kernel) might help with your issue here. But as someone else previously mentioned, copying to PC is definitely the better option. That, or just enjoy the movie on your Nexus4
Hi, I complained about the device having no UMS so one of the people told
me to root my phone and download Multi Mount SD-Card. I did that last night but I just can't get it to work. When I plug my phone USB into the my PC, sometimes it shows up as Removeable E for a bit but when I click on it, it tells me to insert disk.Do I need an OTG cable?
The whole reason I want this is that my Ford Sync Stereo system in the car needs to see the device as Mass Storage to access it properly to play music files. Some people have told me to use bluetooth and yes it plays the files but I can;t play by vouice command unless it is USB and sees the device as a mass storage device (drive).
Any help would be great please.
Thnx Dane
