Hi,
I just came out of the Hyundai shop driving my new ix35 1.7 CRDi Gold+ version. Truly a fantastic car.
However, I seem to have problems connecting it with my Samsung Galaxy S III smartphone (running Android 4.0.3). When I connect it via USB, it says "Reading USB" and after about 15 seconds or so it says "Reading failed" or "error reading" (honestly can't remember exactly, but something along those lines).
I'm thinking it may be due to the new MTP implementation in Android? Does anyone know of ix35 supports MTP?
Thanks,
Deusdies
Did you ever figure this out? I'm on the same boat......
To disable MTP mode and go back to normal disk use like in your past phones, turn on debugging mode. But I doubt a car will read an Android off USB.

Tried that, but I still get the same error unfortunately.

Android Debugging enabled ADB mode (Android Debug bridge) and has nothing to do with USB masst storage (UMS) mode.
Currently it's only possible to use the external SDcard as mass storage device, and you need to be rooted.
If both is acceptable to you, try the Easy UMS apk here on Xda.
Does your car support Bluetooth connection? Most do and it should allow everything you wanted + the ability to use the car stereo for calls.

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.
When I connect the phone to my PC via USB, I only get two options. One is a media mode and the other is a camera mode. Either mount the phone as a normal hard drive (like my Galaxy S1 does). While the media mode does allow me to copy files to the phone, it is really slow.
Is there a way to put the T999 in USB mass storage mode?
+1... this is stupid

try this. idk if it will work or not but its worth trying. i dont own a GS3 so i cant test it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1711009
its the new way that samsung is doing things using mtp. It won't even show on a mac. I guess well have to wait for a work around

On a Mac...
You have to install the Android File Transfer: http://www.android.com/filetransfer/
You also, when connected, have to change it from MTP to Camera... It'll load automatically on my Macs now.
On a PC, changing it to Camera makes it just connect and open up an explorer window.
After working with the phone for a few days I find I am using dropbox more and more as a replacement for connecting to my PC via USB. We'll see how it goes.
Sup my XDA'erzz... Hey so real quick is anyone experiencing issues with Android File Transfer and a Mac? I'm specifically using a Macbook Pro i& quad-core with a SSD and running OS X 10.9 Mavericks... I never had these issues with my Verizon OG HTC One 32GB... But since picking up a Verizon HTC One Max 32GB Android File Transfer refuses to work and for the life of me I can't figure out why.. If I just plug it in nothing happens unless I manually launch AFT and then I receive a message that says please connect your android device with a usb cable. If I plug it in and restart the phone it picks it up but then says can not connect to device... It's extremely annoying because I'm working on some ROMs for it and I have to constantly ADB push everything....... Not that big of deal but I'd still like to be able to mount my storage where everything is visible and can add/remove as I please.... Any suggestions would be great, thanks guys!!
Try using a different cable. Sometimes its a simple solution thats overlooked.

Reinstall drivers, not a mac user so idk if you need the fastboot or adb files from sdk. But if you do, reinstall those exe files

Did you look at what the usb phone setting is on. I know there are extra ones like modem or something or other that could prevent transfer.
I am having similar issues, the mtp file transfer mode seems to borked. I can get files from phone but not send em. I've been mounting my external sd as drive then moving the files using root explorer.
Of course.. It always shows that MTP mode is enabled but does nothing when you tap it, and also shows usb is connected on the phone but when taping that it brings up only options for internet passthrough and sharing etc...

Right. Internet passthrough and others. Dont some of those stop file transfer when active.

Could be the USB 3.0 intermittent issue. Try a powered hub that is USB 2.0 as if your notebook is new enough most likely the USB ports are all 3.0.
Just saying.
Both my wife and I have the Verizon S4 (latest stock/unrooted). While connected to the same PC, mine gets recognized as a media device and I am able to copy/move files on both the phone memory and external sd card. But my wife's phone just gets recognized as a modem and no drive appears.
Can someone help resolve this issue, please?
------
1. Doesn;t seem to be a driver issue on the PC since one phone gets recognized correctly and both phone are exactly the same models.
2. Tried different USB cables and ports. One phone works in all these hardware change scenarios.
3. I verified the phone settings on both phones side by side but couldn't find anything obvious.(I am still hopeful that this is something silly that I missed). I have enabled developer options on both and played with enabling/disabling USB debugging but doesn't help.
With the recent Kitkat fiasco with SD Cards, our 16GB phone memories were full and we can't seem to move files on the phone itself. Hence we need to use the PC. I was able to move media files to the SD and free up space using the PC. But I can't seem to do the same thing on my wife's phone.

It sounds like your wife's phone may be set to the wrong Qualcomm USB mode.
I have no idea if it will work on Kitkat, but try dialing ##DMMODE# and see if you can access the usb mode setting. Look at what it is on the working one and change it to match on the non-working one, if it is different.
Thank you so much!!!!

Thank you very much!!!! That was the issue. DM MODE was enabled on my wife's phone and not on mine. Disabling DM MODE made my phone getting recognized as a Media device.
Thanks again and a special one for the quick reply and help stop me from going bald .... I was just pulling my hair bad
I I just bought a Kenwood car stereo deck that indicated on the box and in the manual that there was Android compatibility. Got the thing installed, plugged in my S5 with 128GB microSD, and I got "NA Device." I did some research and it turns out the damn thing doesn't support MTP. WTF? MTP has been around since ICS, maybe a couple years. I would think that a BRAND NEW car stereo would have MTP support. /rant
Anyway, I tried various apps on the Play Store, and SGS3 Easy UMS, and none of them worked. One or two mounted the external card as an empty CD-ROM drive. Is there any way to get UMS working?
Bump.

Well kind of.. sort of.. maybe.
You should be able to get UMS running, but I won't promise that you'll find it easy to do. Samsung doesn't really support the older UMS mode. Which is a shame.. while UMS is an older and more simplistic protocol than MTP it simply works with most devices. Still most of the blame lies with your stereo vendor which claims to support Android while eschewing MTP support, which is what most Android devices use..
Anyway, as you have discovered, Samsung basically has MTP and PTP. End users can pull down the notifications bar after connecting an USB cable to a device and click on the "Connected as.. " notification to switch between the two modes. Or you should be able to pull up the full USB options menu with the dialer (keypad) code *#0808#
As to getting UMS to work.. you can certainly do it if you are rooted and using a capable kernel.. i.e. a kernel that supports UMS, ntfs/hfs/hfs+, etc. If you aren't rooted, you will have to experiment with different third party apps (and possibly update your stock firmware) until you find a combination that works. Also keep in mind that UMS is only likely to give your stereo access to the SD card in your phone.. not the phone's internal memory.
Some apps to try include:
Easy UMS - http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/themes-apps/app-sgs3-easy-ums-mount-external-t1711009
SG USB Mass Storage Enabler - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2297888
USB Mass Storage - Google Play store
.
I've tried several UMS-enabler apps. The most they could do was make an empty CD-ROM drive appear in My Computer. I've been using Blaze kernel but it doesn't seem to make a difference. Easy UMS just says "External card not mounted.... could not get path of external SD card. Maybe it's unmounted?"
