Hi,
My USB is behaving really wierd.
If I use USB debug my device is not recognized at al by my computer. With USB debug unchecked it's recognized and I can view and delete files but not transfer any new one. Transfer just results in a timeout saying "device disconnected".
This applies to both the internal and external card.
Tired different cables, different computers and operative systems.
Please help, tired of transfer files via keys air all the time :/

Hey,
when u have the Debugging mode activated and want to see it on PC, u have to hit the notification, which appears when u connect it.
Then press connect USB and it should appear on PC
When u don't use this mode it went in an "Kies-mode" which PC directly recognize.
Or when u go to settings>Wireless etc>USB and press here "Use USB as Masstorage" it's the same like when u press activate on notification while debuggin mode.
Hope I helped a bit ...

Well don't mean to be rude but ofc i connect USB storage when I plug it in. When in USB debugging mode, the device is not even accessable but in kies mode, its accessable but I can't transfer any files to it :/

Transfer a small file see if that times out .

I know this is not a solution to your problem, but I recommend transferring files over wifi (NOT KIES AIR) which, to me, is much more simpler and better way.
Here is how:
first install free "SwiFTP FTP Server" application from Market
install it and enter desired username and password. Enable wifi and start application.
On your computer or laptop, install some FTP client (I recommend "Filezilla").
Enter user information you previously configured on your smartphone, connect and voila! You know have access to all of your smartphone's files and folders.
Like I said, for me, this is much better and simpler way of transferring files than using USB cable. Give it a try and see.

Hi!
Secondly, if connecting my sola to a PC it asks me whether I want to install PC Companion on my PC. So I tap "Install" and there we go: the device appears under Windows showing internal memory and SD card as expected.
The annoying thing is I have to tap "Install ..." every time I'm connecting my sola to the PC, otherwise I'm not able to see my phone's storage under Windows...
This is weird. As far as I can remember there was like an option to choose between USB connection types under GB for my HTC previously (as MTP or MSD). Any chances I could find anything like this under xICS vbeta2 on my sola???
Thanks in advance,
Not sure if xICS changed the settings, but in the settings, look for Xperia --> Connectivity.
Set USB connection mode as MSC.
Stupid me

Of course. It worked.
Weird, it was like set to MSC but kind of "stalled". It needed to be "pushed" a little apparently.
Or what are the default settings?
Anyways, it's working now.
Just wanted to share some tips to those who wanted to re-enable the Mass Storage Mode on their Android 4.2.2
1. Connect your phone to a computer (The device will be connected in MTP mode as default)
2. Reboot your phone while connected to the computer
3. Wait until you see the USB icon on your Notification Bar
4. You will now have an option to select Mass Storage henceforth
:cyclops:
I'd appreciate a "THANKS" if this helps you.

Thanks!!! Confirmed working on Legacy Xperia JB 4.3 :highfive:
Nope this does not work as advertised in the OP. Neither is there a "USB mass storage" option anywhere in the device's settings. Thanks anyhow.
Update: still no. I rebooted several times. No joy. I tried rebooting into recovery mode-- disabled if it's connected to a PC. Still no.

Will this option work for jelly bean 4.2.1?
No joy. This either never worked or this trick is obsolete. I have plain stock kitkat 4.4 on my phone (htc one google play ed) and mass storage appears to be completely removed now. stuck with sh!tty MTP/PTP that does not permit transfer of non "media" files. Best solution I can see is getting an SFTP client and xfer over wifi. Why oh why is Google turning evil and doing hacker-hostile and becoming as annoying as Apple?

I feel you. I stopped using anything i[whatever] for any reason because of the stupidity of the storage and transfer software. Now google is doing it. Must join google+ to give feedback on an app? Seriously? Can't access content on my SD card unless the file type meets an arbitrary set of criteria? I'm just waiting for Ubuntu Touch to be ready for an SGH-T989 and I'll dump google next. Either that, or I go back to a damn flip phone and leave all this crap behind.
@bejunk
thanks for the build.prop suggestion, although i cant get the option "MTP, PTP, UMS" in Storage setting, at least i can use UMS...
here's what my opinion;
using MTP;
-faster data transfer
-less reliable; prone to get "cant copy file, phone not responding"
-and if delete file while in phone, connect to PC the file is still there
using UMS;
-slower data transfer
-more reliable than MTP, in my case its secure, no error unless youre "massaging" your phone (blame cable)
-if delete a file while in phone, connect to PC the file is deleted (which is good, no evidence )
UMS is better than MTP in my case
btw, im GT-i9100G SlimKat 4.4.2 (yes, i know this is Sony section)
nope
not working on asus transformer TF701T , thanks anyway

I do not yet have root on my trasformer pad, until last night I thought that UMS was required to get root. I just need to install the fastboot drivers which I thought I had already done. I will update if it turns out I'm wrong (again), all this stuff with the ADB's, fastboot and cmd is confusing me; I have had to root, unroot, wipe, flash etc. loads of times on my galaxy ace but all that had could be done from the phones recovery almost instantly. geuss i'll just have to sort of evolve and get used to it being harder to root and install a recoveries now!
This one worked on my lenovo a369i:
Type these on your Terminal Emulator app:
su
setprop persist.sys.usb.config mass_storage,adb
reboot
Hope this works on yours too.

I am on kaschemme's latest [JB 4.2.2] [CM10.1] ROM. How do I undo the above command ?
Please help me out.
Edit: Nevermind, I did some research and found out, you can put this command to set it back...
su
setprop persist.sys.usb.config mtp,adb
reboot

Its great thanks!

However I can't see me mounted devices on any set top boxes (Ie: Freebox V5 [ free.fr ] )

Hi!
I broke the display of my GT-i9100.....(but the phone seems work...sometimes it vibrates)
And I was wondering if I could copy the files of the internal memory (sdcard) on my PC (Ubuntu)...
I tried to connect it via usb running ADB but is says "device offline" and I can't do anything....
I think the " usb debugging" on the phone is on...:good:
The phone is even rooted,,,I'm using CM 10.2 (Android 4.3 nightly)
Unfortunately the screen is all BLACK...(but i think the touchscreen still work)
How can I copy the sdcard??? Any idea??
[p.s. sorry for my bad english]

AFAIK, adb is the only way of retrieving your data. Or you could replace your screen.
Are you sure USB debugging was ON?

Try out AirDroid, you can use it remotely and via wifi. You can send just about anything to the phone and vice versa.

Thanks man. I started using ES File Explorer since it has a built-in FTP over wifi. I'll try AirDrop as well to see how it fares.
