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.

Odin works fine, but problems with usb drivers. can't display contents of external or internal sd cards on computer. tried uninstalling and reinstalling usb drivers
Did you mount your phone when you plug it in?
How are your setings?
- USB set to ask on connection
- USB debugging off
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).
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.
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 ???
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.
