Mine does the same, i have to trick it by pulling out the cable insert it and quickly enter usb storage some times before it works. I also have to put all my music on the internal memory cause that's the one working.

<[Q]> Connecting to Samsung TV

It always has worked with any HTC, SONY or NOKIA phone, Sensation and Desire HD have a option of connect to PC, this phone doesn't seem to have one. I am not talking about using a HDTV CABLE ADAPTER to display the whole screen, however, (1) I am looking for my Samsung TV to read the SD card of my phone (2) and if possible would it read the Internal memory too.
'when i use my usb cable to connect to the samsung tv, it detects the phone and asks if i want to swap to media play. When i do this i offers me the choice of movies, photos, music and settings. I can not play any of these and the settings only shows the phones id, memory available etc. Is there something within the phones normal settings i should be checking?'

Once again, I have purchased a HDTV Adapter, however, I want my TV to read my SD/Internal memory like it does with other phones. Please let me know if there is anything I could do to fix this.
TV does not have a wifi connection or an Ethernet connection.*'Programs like Allshare would be of no help whatsoever'.
Thanks
Sounds like all you need to do is enable USB debugging.
did that, after clicking on mass storage TV doesnt read USB, but the PC does. Samsung TV will read any other phone but not this.
after calling Samsung, they said they phone doesn't have that option like other phones do, so, I asked whether the HD cable would display the original resolution of the media or would it display the resolution of the phone, they told me that the cable would only display the resolution of the phone, now, if the TV was able to read my phone it wouldn't have been an issue. Any solution?
is this the wrong place to ask?

If you've tried USB debugging, and tapping "Connect USB storage" when the phone prompts didn't work, I can't think of anything else you could try.
all i can do for you is confirm my samsung tv working and reading my s2's Internal and external sd card.

I must have tried that a million times but it just aint working, I am on a contract with Orange, I can change my phone to Sensation, Mozart and iPhone4s without a problem, now I am thinking about getting Sensation because I know that phone does work.

Well i connect my phone to the tv via USB and then i pull down the notification bar on my phone and click connect usb storage. Then in the corner of the tv it shows 'USB reading' then once thats done it asks to open (like auto play on pc).

For me on a Samsung TV LA32D400 this does not work. When connecting the S2 to the USB of the TV, then selecting USB on the TV, then pulling the notifications bar curtain and clicking on 'USB device connected' shows a green pupper which turns orange when I click it (USB debugging ON). So far so good works like on a PC.
Then for one second(!) I see Android USB on my TV and then it disappears and unmounts. An ordinary USB stick does work.
What is the problem here ?

[Q] Problem Playing Audio through USB Car Stereo

I am trying to play music from my phone's SD card to my Clarion CZ300 car unit via USB. I've tried using automount, setting developer mode and USB mass storage mode (Settings > wireless and network > USB utilities > Connect storage to PC). I've also unmounted and mounted the sd card while the USB cable was connected.
Has anyone had success with this phone and a USB car stereo? If so, please let me know how you managed to make it work.

Why u don't use a cable like this one:
http://www.boppshop.de/images/schulz_gtbm.jpg
Out from phone and into "AUX" from radio.
I'm sure when u have USB, u will have en AUX, too
CHEERS
usb is much more convenient that aux. usb charges the phone and allows you to select the songs through the stereo instead of the phone.
This issue was definitely caused by the head unit. I bought a 2012 Kia Optima and the phone now works via USB. I have it set to debug mode and installed automount.

Help. Computer recognizes my Note as a Media Player

Last night I was able to connect my wifes Galaxy Sky rocket by USB and my Pc recognize it as a mass storgage device with no problem for porting over our Itunes music. I then tried to do my Note and it only recognizes my note as a Media player. Any ideas why this is happening or a fix? Thank you
You have to use USB mass storage mode found in settings

Found it. On my wifes Sky Rocket all I had to do was just click on the pull down menu on the phone and say ok to connect. Interesting.
Thank you very much!

[Q]The usb mass storage is not recognized by car

This is a problem i have recently faced in my car.
The phone is unable to mount the sd cards(neither internal nor external) in usb mass storage mode when connected to my car stereo.
I have done some research and it seems to be a problem with the mounting order of the sdcards(internal first or external first)
Does ne 1 have a similar issue and has ne1 managed to fix it??
This is really frustrating. Not able to play collection on car. have to use separate usb drive.

I tried removing ext SD card it works but gizmo heats up fast... Better to use aux cable(2 way 3.5 jack) for music and USb cable for charging :laugh:

How to get USBs to work on android

Ok so currently there is something wrong with USB mounting where even through dock it doesn’t show up.
To get this to work do the following:
In play store search up ‘xplore’ and download it.
Open xplore, go into settings and scroll to where it asks if you want to use it’s driver. Tick that and go back. Plug USB in to dock and when it asks if you want to mount it select yes.
Voila!

I believe this is only in regards to usb storage. I downloaded xplore file manager and found the option that op mentioned. When I plugged in my xbox 360 controller wireless adapter nothing new happened, but when I plugged in a flash drive I did get the prompt they mentioned.
Controllers work if you connect via dock and yes it was ‘xplore file manager’
Was there anything else you may have done? Also, which controller were you able to use with this method? I tried connecting my xbox one controller to the dock over usb with this open and nothing popped up on the screen and the controller wasn't working. The controller just vibrated.
Can anyone confirm that the USB to Ethernet adapter works ?

Kodi and USB drives
Hello all! First post here. ^^
I’m wondering if you guys have been able to use external usb drives with Kodi.
I have used the app “Microsoft exFAT/NTFS for usb by Paragon software” to mount a NTFS drive to the switch. I can use the app “x-plore” to browse my 1TB drive and can play all my songs and media. However I cannot find the drive in the kodi app. I would greatly like to be able to add all my media to the kodi library.
Any suggestions guys?
Thanks
Should also be sure to remove the Switch Game Card. This was not doing anything, then after I removed mine, it worked perfectly. Just don't use the HORI Dock. That damn thing does not work at all.
Quick update: got the USB to Ethernet adaptor working while docked - just download the app called USB Device info and it will activate all USB ports while docked

USB drives worked but not the USB to Ethernet adapter. It took a while to figure it out, so other than that you will need to to enable Ethernet on the OS. I did that through https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2706211
I don't have busy box but it seems to have gotten the job done for me
Be careful - it will make ur switch hang - but after reset just delete it and then it will work

I have had success with “Microsoft exFAT/NTFS for usb by Paragon software”. But it isn’t free.. The price will depend on which file format your usb drive is.
Maybe there isn’t an alternative, but this is all I know of now.
i get a message no supported partition was found?
Hey do you know anyways to make it work with dolphin?
breakthru just used stickmount to get a 4tb drive to detect
We still dont have usb controllers working?
Anybody know the directory location for external USB storage? Trying to access my games on redream from external storage and can’t find the right directory (if I’m even in that area of the devices storage).
