hey guys, I just got the hd2 yesterday, and it alread was loaded android miui onto it. I was just wondering, how do I mount a sd card from windows mobile so i can see the contents of the card on a computer? What I'm trying to do is, use a sd card that doesn't have android on it in windows mobile, but i don't have a card reader. I know thres a way to put my micro sd into my hd2 and connect it to my macbook ( i dont have any virtual machines for windows so the sync software won't work ) so I can view all the files and put the necessary files for android on it. I have the clarity rom 6.5 and in the settings in connections/usb it just says allow usb connection or something like that. everytime I connect to my mac it doesn't recognize an external device, but my hd2 charges. When i boot it into android i can mount my sd card, but the problem is i dont have android on the other sd card that i want to modify, so I can't go into android and mount my sd card to modify files. So to make a long question short, HOW DO I VIEW/MODIFY THE CONTENTS OF MY SD CARD ON MY MAC WITH ONLY MY HD2 AND USB CABLE? This is my first post, so please go easy on me.
if you set the hd2 to disk drive mode the mac should see it as a usb hard disk. shouldnt it? (in windows mobile, not android, dunno nuffink about android)
how do i do this? I have never used windows mobile. ever. thanks for the help!
well when you plug in the usb cable, normally you get a popup (on the hd2) asking what you want, actyive sync, disk drive or (sometimes) internet sharing.
if it doesnt, you can go
settings tab menu all settings connections usb to PC
or settings tab other usb to PC
select disk drive, connect (or reconnect) USB cable.
you sometimes have better luck with switching usb mode if you havent already connected the device that session. try it from a fresh phone and pc reboot, put the phone in disk mode then connect usb.
(just as an added point of interest, you can use the hd2 in usb disk mode to boot a PC from a suitably formatted bootlable sd card, so it is using real usb hard disk mode. I use it to boot to ubuntu when im testing faulty machines.)
I only have one usb to pc, and it says when i tap it,
enable advanced network functionality.
no other settings. is something wrong? I am on clarity rom.
oh and im on clarity rom, but for some reason its not doing anything when i plug it into the mac
dunno what to say then, you are looking for the screen as my image.
G'nite, good luck.
you might claim to be a noob, but you certainly know what you're doing and you're on the right track!
here are the facts:
1. the HD2 is TOTALLY capable of what you require, i.e. usb disk mode
2. point 1 is true in both WM6.5(.x) and android (and you have already used the feature first-hand in android!)
3. point 2 is true only for WM ROMs and android builds in which the chef has chosen to provide the ability to toggle the usb disk mode option (this feature is present and fully usable in 90+% of the available ROMs/builds and in 100% of the ROMs/builds i've tried personally!)
4. given point 3, i find it hard to believe or understand why the chef of this "clarity" ROM you speak about left out the option! maybe it is there but moved to a different section of settings as samsamuel has suggested. maybe it WAS there but somehow something got corrupted/screwed and now the option has been wiped out? maybe try hard resetting your WM.
my honest and humble suggestion to you is to post in the thread of the "clarity" ROM and ask the chef/users of the ROM.
you seem very comfortable with the tweaking and ROM scene, so why not try a different WM ROM (i suggest NRGZ's "energy" ROM series)? you are already using android, and changing the WM ROM is a whole lot easier and straight forward if your primary OS is android (like yours truly!); nothing to backup/restore, no apps to install/configure, no contacts/messages backup/restore, etc.
i am happily using an old NRGZ ROM from june 2010, i keep WM in flight mode and simply use WM as a "bootstrap" into android. my WM is properly tweaked and configured to my liking just in case android ever screws up and i end up having to rely on WM until i get android sorted. hasn't happened yet, but fingers crossed!
I've been downloading songs on my tablet & when i go to but them on my Blackberry thesongs transfer but my Sd card in my blackberry gets messed up (is not read on phone). So i have to format it on the computer. I dont enjoy doing that, so is there an app to safely remove/eject the flash drive?
My USB Samsung connector arrived in the post yesterday and I just can't see any connected files when I connect various drives / cameras to my tablet.
First off I tried to connect my Panasonic Lumix via cable and camera said it was connected but could not see anything on the tablet with ES file explorer - so took sd card out and out that into a card reader and tried that - no joy.
Have since tried two flash drives and again can not see any files - I also downloaded Astro File manager after reading another thread.
When I connect - a USB icon does appear bottom right saying USB device is connected - if I go into Astro I see usbdrive but it contains no files - in fact that folder is there whether I'm connected or not!
What should I expect to see?
Thanks

hello i have problem because when i try to connect sony tablet s to my pc my pc doesnt see this tablet... help me , something drivers ? i want to send music and video to tablet
I'd rather use the sd card to transfer.
Which operating system do you use? Have you tried all USB ports? Do you use the right cable? Have you tried another one already?
As we all have observed, usb mass storage is not available anymore on our devices. This isn't a bad thing if you're using a computer but... I have a tablet and the plan is to access the phone using the usb otg. It's partially working since when I connect the phone 2 options show up: gallery and downloads, with downloads i can access all the files from the phone but I can't seem to find any file using anything else. The tablet is rooted, the phone isn't. With root explorer I can't find anywhere the phone and its contents. Why it is important to me? because i want to use the tablet as a media center in a car and if i had the option of usb mass storage as before i could have the music player play straight from the phone as it would be seen as an usb storage.
I posted this here because it has nothing to do with the device models and this applies to any 2 androids. (the tablet is a rooted galaxy s2 tablet and the phone is galaxy s8 snapdragon non rooted)
If i could find the location of the mount i could create a link-foldermount thing from the location of my phone's contents to the internal memory of the tablet so it would work as a wonder, the problem is that i can't find where the phone is mounted and yes i have tried mnt and storage folder-there is no usb folder as it would be for a normal flash drive.
Any ideas/suggestions?
