When I connected my tab to the computer using usb cable, it popped up with MTP and the tab shows in the windows explorer.
But after I push the home button and quit the MTP mode, how can I bring MTP mode back without plug in/out the usb case? Is there any shortcut? Thanks.
How can I share files between tab and computer without using the usb cable?
My computer don't have bluetooth and I don't prefer wifi ad hoc p2p connect.
I feel a bit regret to buy the tab as not to have the sd card slot is really inconvenient. I cannot move the pic in the camera to the tab easily.

Get websharing app from market to copy files without using cables. Trial version lets you copy 1 file at a time. Paid version lets you copy multiple files at once.
Also, regretting about anything is just waste, search and you will find answers to all your questions in abundance, that has most and all the solutions.

Thanks. I will try it.
I searched for MTP and could not find an answer.
Just got another question: How can I reduce the volumn of the feedback "ding" when pressing the menu?

anyone got a shortcut to start mtp without taking cable out and in?
I can't get MTP back at all, I tried to do a factory reset and uninstall lord but nothing works.
Also tried using the "kies saver"from Samsung apps but it wouldn't work either.

You mean you are not able to see the tab in the computer after connecting it or the MTP screen is not displayed on the tab?
FYI :
After the latest update MTP screen is shown only when some file operations are going on. Not always when the it is connected to the computer as earlier.

Turn USB Debugging off. I have the Galaxy S 2 on Sprint and it has a terrible habit of turning it on by itself, which disables MTP mode. Not sure where in Honeycomb the setting is, but on my phone it is under settings - applications - development.
Uncheck that and problem solved I bet.

I bought a USB connecyion kit and use a small USB stick. I also use it for backing up data so that when I do a hard reset on my Tab I ca njust plug the USB stick in and restore all data using Titanium Backup.
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.
How to enable USB Debugging:
Settings-Applications-Development-check USB debugging

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.
Is there anyway to get the Note to go into USB Mass Storage Mode?
Lol ran into this earlier..settings then wireless and networking u enable us mass storage from there...awkward place for it..lol
Sent from my awesome GALAXY NOTE..
Go to settings-development-enable USB debugging.
Next time you plug in your phone to the computer you will get an option in the notification bar asking you if you want to enable mass storage or not. Click it and select enable mass storage and Voila!!

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.

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.
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?"
