Hi, i was wondering if something like this was possible?
My idea was to use a converter like this and just plug the usb stick on the other end, could something like this work?
thanks
No.. the usb port is for receiving power and moving data.
Not sending power and moving data.
It may be possible but you would need a 3rd party power source and mabey some
extra parts here and there.
But the final answer is NO.
thanks for the answer, too bad it's a no
[Q] connecting my desire via usb to archos 101 = "ready to remove external disk"
Hi,
when connecting my desire via usb to archos 101 (to read my phone's SD card) I get immediatly the "ready to remove external disk" message.
Even when I activate USB storage on my desire, nothing changes
Only thing that happens is that my archos charges my desire
It would be great to transfer data though, anyone any ideas?
Thx
B
I had this problem too, it doesnt just dont work by your monile phone
Unfortunality,the archos cant recognize your phone...
you can try urukdroid, it has many improvements about the usb port
you had this problem too? do you mean instaling urukdroid solved the problem for you?
thx

I still have^^ with a bunch of usb devices, but i think this bug isnt something about your phone
Installing Urukdroid could solve your problem, because in UD we have a 500mA kernel
(Energy that the usb port is getting^^ in normal archos android this is 100mA)

It may help, it may not. For me, it's not a problem with USB power, it's the partition system or mounting script. I have Urukdroid on my 101, and some client's EVOs, Fascinates, and others will mount correctly. My HD2 will not work with some versions of CM7, and will with others. Most Desires do not work, but some have. I've never bothered to really research the problem though, as there are a ton of other ways for me to do whatever transferring needs done. For APKs I use bluetooth, bigger files I do either over the network, or by swapping SD cards.
P.S. Lenn, the 100mA limit is only on the A70. Our 101s put out 4-500mA with stock firmware because they have a full host port.
thank you guys for the feedback... I use bluetooth also which works fine but I was just wondering if it was just me...
I have the same issue with an external card reader which is really a pain because that was my planned workaround for the fact that I can't see my pictures on my camera (see thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1122799)
For this reason I am thinking of installing urukdroid 1.0 because this still uses an older version firmware I believe
Also this problem http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1123259 seems related to the newest firmware
cheers

Yes, I did experience the battery not showing 100%, but the battery reporting has always been inaccurate. I think it was calculating the percentage wrong, because I didn't experience any faster discharge times, as others in that thread say.
The external card reader is slightly surprising though. If it uses a generic MSC (Mass Storage Class) driver, it should work. Does it/has it ever needed drivers installed on Windows to show up? If they use a generic driver, but change the ID to be proprietary, it can cause issues with Android, and even Linux.
Uruk is a blend of old and new firmware, and definitely doesn't have the charging issue. I think it's worth installing, but I run an IT company, so I actually enjoy things like that.
The install is pretty easy these days, at least compared to a few months ago, so I'd give it a shot.

Probably unnecessary. If Windows shows it as a generic Mass Storage Device, I'd expect it to work. If you have the time, maybe use logcat to watch the logs, and post em here. Maybe we'll find a descriptive error that we can work from. I'm a bit busy, but I'll try to experiment at some point. There is a possibility it draws too much amperage, but I doubt it. Logcat should show a overcharge message if that's the case.

To transfer data from an SDcard? Really? That's your suggestion?
Hello everyone,
I am a new user of galaxy s2 i777. I have been trying to connect the phone in usb mass storage mode.
I have gone through a lot of threads in this forum, none of them give a clear idea as to what to do.
some say install kies some say something else... I have tried many things. all of them dont seem to work.
Can anyone please guide me in a clear cut was as to what to do?
Thanks guys.
Out of the box, by the default, when plugging, usb icon will and should be displayed on the notification; pull the notification down then tap to connect the usb mass storage mode. Your PC should recognize it now.
Note: try more than one usb port.
Go to settings->wireless and network->usb utilities follow instructions
I ran into that problem after using one my sisters chargers when i was visiting my parents house. Apparently the usb cable bent the connector in my phones port. I ended up bending it back and it has worked like a charm since then
Or enable USB DEBUGGING option. If you do that as soon as you plug into any computer, the option to transfer files will automatically show in your notification/status bar.

To clarify:
The Galaxy S II defaults to MTP mode (media mode, similar to iPhone).
Unlike said iPhone however, we can change ours back to the UMS (USB Mass Storage) mode by enabling USB debugging.
I never found it documented anywhere, I just ran into by accident when enabling USB debugging for TB and MTP stopped working.
It took me a while to figure out why.
I actually like MTP mode (it's faster and easier to use, except in linux as I understand).
The "USB Utilities" option seems to be a per-use setting (not 100% sure, never used it). However USB debugging is a "set and forget" option.
Use steps I quoted above to enable it.
After that when you plug it in, you can select to mount it to the PC via the notification bar.
Hope that helps.
EDIT: It looks like this option was posted by at least one other person on here before: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20204599&postcount=12
Tried everything
Guys,
I have enabled USB debugging mode as you have recommended and and it still does not work. I am always getting the notification on windows as "USB device not recognized".
I have tried everything. i have installed the USB driver for I777 from the samsung website. That did not work.
Another strange thing. I tried "Wireless and Network>USB utilities>Connect storage to PC" on my FRIENDS computers(Windows 7), it works.! My phone connects in mass storage mode and I am able to transfer files as usual. I did not install any software on my friends computers.
But when i do the same thing on my WINDOWS 7 PC, it does not work. I use a Lenovo T420i with factory software installed.
I am a noob in the drivers department. Can anyone please tell me what to do.
Thank you.
Help appreciated.
you say "new user" which implies stock rom. if what they are asking you to do is not working, then i believe you might need to exchange the phone. if you have an ICS rom on it, then i think that you might be stuck with MTP until you switch back to Gingerbread. i might be wrong.
Is Anti-virus disabled on your computer? Seems I've heard that it should be, but can't find where... Also, there may be different drivers for a 64-bit machine (W7?) vs. 32-bit.
Have u tried a different USB port or cable on your PC?

Firstly, it's how amazing you are. You asked a question and only returns to it TWO months after? Obviously, it doesn't bother you that much.
Secondly, however, we're here to help.
About your friend computer, a. maybe he did install the Samsung USB driver already or b. maybe, at that time, you are using MTP mode.
Anyway, forget about his computer, let's get it work on yours.
I personally think the USB driver that you've downloaded from their website WOULD NOT work. I don't know why but I can tell you that it did not work for me. Give me some times to dig into my files or search again on this site for the CORRECT driver. You can also help me and yourself by continue to search for this on this xda site since I got it from here too.
Thirdly, along side with the 2nd above, do try different usb cables, do try on different usb ports
I can enable the USB mode on my note, but when browsing the phone with my computer (Mac & PC) I can not see the contents of the SD card?
EDIT: nevermind, rebooted phone and is working now.
Resolved

First of all I appreciate the help you are giving me.
I am sorry if I offended you by not returning for quite a long time to post.
I have now resolved the problem and would like to share for everyone's benefit over here.
The problem was not with the software, it was with the hardware. I followed all the suggestions given over here and was in the end convinced that there should be a problem with my motherboard. This is surprising because my Flash Drive and USB mouse all work with my laptop without any glitches. But my phone(i777) and any other android phone would not connect to the computer. It would say device not recognized.
My nook e-reader which used to work perfectly started acting strange, it would be detected but i would not be able to transfer files onto the nook. So now I ws convinced that this was a hardware problem.
So I called up lenovo and showed them this problem via some software where i could share my screen with them. They asked me if a USB flash drive was working and I said yes. They reply saying that everything is perfect with your laptop and cut the call. I was offended , these lenovo support guys would not understand that it was a complex problem.
So I went to a local MicroCentre which had support for lenovo servicing and showed this problem to a technician. He was convinced that there was some problem and got my motherboard replaced . And voila there connects my android to my computer in USB mode..!
I would like to thank everyone for their help and taking time out to post here.
My laptop: Lenovo T420i with i3. looks like this was a case with my laptop only. a person i know has a t420(i5) in which my phone connected without any glitches.
Thank you for your help everyone. Hope to be helpful in return in the near future.
Hi, I am having an issue where the computer does not recognize the Touchpad after the initial software installation through a USB hub. This touchpad has Android running on it and I am using Android all the time. I don't know why this happens because it works fine by just plugging it into the regular USB port of a computer, but fails to recognize through a hub. Anyone having this issue? Can someone help me please? Thanks

If you are using a non powered hub then its a power problem.
In any event you run the risk of problems over a hub when syncing or updating so best to not use one anyway!
Thanks for the reply. It worked before for a long time and it just suddenly stopped working. I guess I'll take it out then.
Whenever I attempt to connect my phone via USB to USB-C or even from USB-C to USB-C using my Windows 10 Laptop, I'm unable to select the File Transfer option. My phone immediately begins charging, and Device Manager does not detect an unknown device.
Is there a workaround to resolve this issue as I would like to place some audiobooks onto my phone that I have stored on my computer.
This has been an ongoing issue for sometime now and I'm still unable to resolve the issue myself. Hopefully someone here can help me resolve this issue as this is the first phone where I've been unable to successfully File Transfer. This feature is important for me to transfer files to and from my phone.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Do you have the latest USB driver installed? Also using a USB 2.0 port (A to C cable) seems to work best.
Sometimes it helps enabling USB Debugging in the Developer options.

Do you get a popup on your phone to choose between charging, file transfer, MTP, PTP etc when you connect the phone to the PC/laptop? If not, you may be lacking the correct drivers.
Also in Developer Options, have you enabled the correct USB configuration?

Thanks for your response. After downloading the latest USB Drivers and updating each and every USB Serial Bus Controller, using the latest USB drivers, it states each and every Driver is up to date.
As you can see in this image HERE, I don't have a USB 2.0 Port; Only USB Root Hub 3.0 Ports instead. Could this be the issue? And if so, how do I go about downgrading from USB 3.0 down to USB 2.0?

Yes I sure do, but whenever I attempt to select between the default option of charging over to file transfer, it immediately reverts back to charging again. Initially, I thought it may be down to me using a generic cable, but even after using the official USB-C to USB-C adapter that comes with the Pixel 6a, and the fact my laptop supports this option, I thought this may have resolved the issue. Unfortunately, neither option allows me to file transfer.

I see that you have an AMD system. By any chance is it older than a couple of years? There was an issue with USB ports on AMD PCs/Laptops some time back which, to my knowledge, was never resolved. Instead, the newer models started working alright.
Check with an Intel machine or one that has USB 2.0 ports.
are you using original cable type c cable? used to have that issue then I found out my current usb c (Xiaomi cable) is 5a,it will charge the device but very slow and wont show in device manager ..then i changed to 3a..the issue is solved..
and im using AMD Processor

You could be onto something here. Like you've stated, my laptop is older than a couple of years old, and I've had ongoing issues with my Lenovo Laptop and it's USB ports for as long as I can remember. Do you think a BIOS update could possibly resolve this issue?
It's just a little weird why it worked fine with my old Poco F1, but for whatever reason, with the Google Pixel 6a, it doesn't seem to want to play ball.
Could a possible workaround since all my Auidobooks are stored on an External HDD to simply connect my Phone to a newer PC/Laptop alongside the External HDD and copy/paste the audiobooks over if my phones internal memory is detected? If so, this maybe my only option.
Thanks for the heads up though. This is good to know as it reaffirms my initial suspicion that it may be a USB related issue with regards to this laptop than anything to do with the phone itself.

Now that you mention it, I don't think I have if my memory serves me right? Would a simple cable like the one in this link HERE do the trick? If so, I'll order one tomorrow and see whether this resolves the issue. If not, I know it must be my laptop and not the phone that's causing these issues.

I don't know about that specific cable you linked. What I do know is that people seem to have more success with A to C cables in general. I'm using an Anker A to C cable, but I don't know what model it is.

I remember reading that it was choosy in deciding which phones to work with and which phones not. In other words, it worked with some brands and did not work with others. I also remember it did not work with OnePlus.

Why not just plug the external drive directly into the phone? I do that all the time when moving .flac and .mp3 files around -- works fine.
(Though it might depend a bit on the file system the hard drive uses.)
