Usb storage on pc? - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

How do I get this phone to show up as a Usb drive when I plug it into a pc? I know you can view files as a mtp device but when I tried it with a winxp machine it only shows the internal sd and not the external. Also at times I couldn't view files at all when plugged in as mtp.

USB does not mount to PC anymore

After changing my internal SD card to a 16GB one, I cannot connect the USB to a PC anymore.
Internally it is recognized, and can be used normally.
But when I connect to the USB and click on Connect to USB it says 'remove cable' and when I remove the cable it says 'Connect cable'.
With USB debugging ON (which I normally use) I normally see in the notifications 'USB connected' and when I click on this I can mount the memory card to the PCas mass storage.
But this notifications does not appear anymore.
Rebooted, put back the old 8 GB card many times it does noty help.
How can I mount the USB to the PC again ?
EDIT: It was the problem on the PC (Macbook Pro) side: another port on the PC did mount. After rebooting the Mac, the port worked again.
But the issue with USB debugging OFF is still there : I need USB debugging ON to mount the sdcard to a PC (not only my Macbook but alo a Ubuntu laptop).

Connect as mass storage?

Does anybody know how to connect the GN II as mass storage for my SD card? I only see options of Media and Camera connections.
I see it in Windows Explorer as internal and external storage however does not show up when you get the pop-up for windows to be read as a drive.
When you connect as a media device I only see Media and Camera device listed too, and have a check for media (says for transfer media files to windows etc....)
You'll be using MTP now rather than mass storage, IIRC. Windows Explorer should still see it as a disk device so it will behave similar in most respects.
same here, but I can't get my laptop (windows 7) to open as mtp or camera, no matter which I chose?
I downloaded the samsung phone drivers I cant get my computer to recognize it. Windows 7 any help?
Make sure you are using a compatible cable, they are not all the same.

Slowdown/Freeze when copying to OTG device

When I am copying a huge file from my internal / extSD memory to a OTG usb stick, I am somewhat unable to use my phone during the copying process. It appears as if my phone has slowed down a lot or frozen.
Same happens when copying from my laptop to internal or extSD memory via MTP.
Any ideas how to fix this?
When I connect to USB OTG of my phone with a pendrive it says drive error everytime... what might be the problem ???

Unable to view internal/sd card storage running crDroidAndroid-7.1.2-20170801-m8-v3.6

ROM (crDroidAndroid-7.1.2-20170801-m8-v3.6.1) seems to working properly. I connect the M8 to a computer and select USB for file transfer mode. The phone is listed under Portable Devices. It is labeled m8wl and has a tablet icon, not the phone icon I can open the icon but nothing is listed. I don't see internal or sd card storage. Tried on 2 computers. If I select USB for photo transfer I can see the internal storage but no sd card. Drivers are HTC Corporation Date 7/30/2014 Ver 1.0.0.19 and also tried Date 7/30/2015 Ver 1.0.0.23. Windows drivers behave the same. Tried different usb cables, no difference.
