dose not work
no Reaction on computer.
Make sure you set USB mode to something other than 'none' in the status tray... You won't need an SD card, but Media Sync/Motorola mode might not work since they most likely were made for Windows. Although Windows Media Sync (or w/e its called) might make it an MTP device (Or is that other one?). Haven't Used Ubuntu in a long time since it started to suck.

I plug my phone into my PC and it doesnt recognize my phone is connected. It doesnt give me the dropdown menu asking how i would like to use my device. Even if i set it to use any of the options besides "CHARGE" as the default action it still only charges the phone. I have a mac mini but i also have windows installed via bootcamp. I tried it under both OS and it does the same on either ( usb debugging on and off as well) WTF?
U try downloading HTC sync might fix it idk
select htc media sync from the options
I've read that on mac you have to use a program called Android File Transfer now with ICS and MTP rather than USB/MS.
Acronym lol

First off, thanks guys for figuring out how to root the GP4.2. It is my first android anything after finally passing on my itouch to someone else.
I am using PCLinuxOS with gnome and my only hangup so far is trying to get the GP42 recognized as a USB MS device. Currently I am getting around this by WiFi and SFTP to the device but I would really prefer faster USB cable connections.
Plugging in the USB cable starts charging but I never get the USB MASS STORAGE app popup like I do in WinXP.
I looked on the forums here and can not find much info on the GP4.2.
Is there a toggle app for the USB MS mode that will run on this player or something built in?

Go to Settings -> Wireless and network -> USB settings
Choose Mass storange
Now connect to your computer using your cable. After few seconds there will be a button on the screen, press it, now your computer should see the device's internal (and external, if exists) sd card as a normal usb flash drive.
Not quite that easy
The problem is that I am using Linux and the above only works in Windows with the Samsung Driver installed.
Linux is not triggering the popuup! I was asking if there is a way to manually trigger that very popup, because I have those settings already and it works in XP.
Perhaps there is a Call or command I can do from a shortcut or the commandline in terminal (I have busybox and a Terminal emulator on my Player).
WiFi is just SOOOOO slow!

Well, in my case it just works OK with Arch Linux and also Ubuntu.

Does anyone know if there is a way to connect the phone as a mass storage device without the Lg software? I work on a mac at work, and a PC at home, and transferring files on my phone is something that I used a lot. However I'm not able to install the LG software on every machine I hook my phone to.
Any insite would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

When you connect your phone, immediately push cancel (on the phone) when it is trying to check for LG software.
Also, you have some options on the phone to when you connect USB. I use the option that recognizes the phone as a media player. - Media Sync (MTP)
This is what works for me, and I use it as mass storage.

Look up how to adb push and pull. You will never need to be bothered by MTP again.
i agree that is a solution.
but its not for everyone, especially my relative who just want an easy plug and play options
also manage to help her switch tio ubuntu for most pc needs. therefore MTP is aoutof the question.
right now, my short term solution is an ftp server
however this has its limitations. like need 2 be connected o the same network.
still hoping the nest upgrade or custom rom will implement usb mass storage mode
yeah for some reason ICS did away with mass storage in favor of MTP, i think. OSX unfortunately doesnt MTP, so you need to download the 'Android File Transfer' app onto your laptop and then do it through there.
Is there anyway to have a Windows 7+ computer recognize when you have your phone connected to the same wireless network so it will launch an Application or do a task such as play a song on the windows machine? I assume it would be the same for any Android Phone. I'm not against installing a program on the computer and an App on the phone. The only thing like this that I could see was a wake on LAN App that turned on the computer, but what if the computer was already on and you just wanted it to run a task? Does that make sense? Let me know if you have any additional questions.

That is a good idea although I was looking for WiFi or bluetooth and not via USB they were looking for when they walk in the door. I think they found the answer through some script online.
Hello, I recently have been going nuts with booting different OS's on my Windows PC, and came across good ole' Android!
There are just a few things keeping me from using it a lot more.
1. Internet Connectivity
Is there a way to use the laptop's built-in WIFi adapter as the "Android's" default adapter? Or would an external USB adapter be the way to go? I've tried USB Tethering on my fiance's Galaxy J1 but it says "No USB devices attached". This would be a big one to figure out for sure!
2. App Compatibility
I'm able to install and use some APK's i've copied from my other devices just fine, but some of them won't start up, force closing immediately. I figured with Android 4.4 most apps should be (and are) able to run okay, but I get about a 50/50 rate of the ones installed on PC working and not. Would there be a way to get around this? I'm no expert by any means but one of the things floating around my head was through editing the "build.prop" of the PC-booted Android.
