Hi,
I'm pretty new to the SGS world and it's the first time I have a phone with MTP/PTP mount when connecting to a PC.
1) Is it safe to "hot" unplugg the SGS3 from the PC? I can't see any unmount button/option on the device
On my previous phone, with "normal" USB connection, I would unmount the phone first before unplugging it from the PC, otherwise I might risk loosing some data on my sdcard (already happened to me).
2) Is there any way to speed-up file transfer between PC <-> Internal SD card, because it is sooooooooo slooooooooooow!

There is no usb option with device... If you want though then there is a app which requires root..
You can unplug it whenever you want..
I don't know how you can make the transfers faster

I have a sprint s3 with 16gb internal and 16gb external and I want to completely back up both directly to my computers Hard drive. If I connect it via usb it either takes hours to copy all the folders and when it does work, I wont get everything in the storage. What is a good app to usb connect my phone and backup or copy and entire directory? WiFi is also and option, but not google drive or dropbox.. I have too much data for them anyways. Thanks
Hi.
I have my Galaxy S3 for some time now, and i want to transfer some music to my phone.
I have an SD Card with 64gb and of course, a computer
now what happens is that i start copying some music to my phone but after a few the phone simply disconnect and connect, which makes the file transfer very hard. (unless i'm gonna move song after song...)
Obviously this is not how the phone should work so this is why i am here.
Try Kies Air or Airdroid which are wireless transfers.

That happened to me too but only one time while transferring 5GB of music from my computer to my SD card so it wasn’t terrible. You can use the tools mentioned by sriram231092, or put your files on any of your clouds storage, then download them to your phone and transfer them to your SD card.
Edit: I found out reading Boeffla-Config Settings that if you have Boeffla Kernel, you can change the USB connection as UMS on demand, which simplify data transfer:

1.1 UMS Mode
Default: Off
Expected impact: Make external phone SD card available as drive on an USB-connected PC
With Android 4.x versions, Google decided to only use the MTP (media transfer protocol) for communication when you connect your device to a PC.
This prevents the memory to show up as a drive but only as a device.
By toggeling this checkbox, the external SD card gets unmounted internally (not accessible from the phone anymore) and the protocol is switched from MTP to UMS (usb mass storage) to make it appear as a normal USB drive on your PC. This simplifies data transfer a lot.
Please do not forget to untick this again after you finished using the connection, so it gets mounted and visible on your Android device again.
Note: When this does not properly work, it is most likely an issue with USB drivers installed on your PC.

I have a Galaxy Prime 3 which is basically a cheapo version of the Galaxy S5. On my old S5 I had TWRP installed which was extremely useful for mounting the SD card as a USB drive and then plugging it into a PC to boot from it with install iso or utility iso.
It is not possible to get TWRP on this J320A as far I as have found, and the only app purporting to do boot from sdcard over USB (drivedroid) did not work for me. Is there any way I can use my phone to boot a PC over USB cable? I know its much "simpler" to use a flash drive or burn a CD/DVD but I like hacking things to their fullest. Any suggestions?
Hi,
I just got the S9+ (UK model) yesterday, I've activated the OEM Unlock and it's remained on (it did reset the phone when I rebooted).
I'd ideally like to connect a SD card reader and a portable HDD via a USB hub, to transfer photos from the card reader via the phone to the HDD.
I've done this on my Note 4 (rooted and running a custom stock ROM). The portable HDD is exFat formatted.
But the S9+ isn't currently rooted.
Do I just need to root the phone, so I can adjust any read/write privileges or would I also need to install a custom (stock) ROM too, to be able to transfer files?
Thank you

Not really sure why you'd need root. I have a SanDisk SSD that I plug in via USB-C and it just shows up as a drive on the S9+.

Thank you for your help
I can get the drive to show up (it's Western Digital Elements), but if I try to copy anything to it, either from the card reader (via the phone) or from the phone itself. I get a "copy failed" type message.
It doesn't make any difference when using the hub, if it's powered or not. In the past I've always used a non powered hub.
*** EDIT ***
I decided to try the inbuilt file manager and I was able to copy and paste photos from the card reader to the portable HDD.
I was using Root Explorer (Pro version) and it always failed to copy across the files. I don't know why.
Problem solved
