Hello,
This is my first thread opened on this forum.
I have an HTC Evo 3D wich i use also as a navigation device (iGo).
iGO maps and content are stored (usually) on the SD card.
I also use my HTC Evo 3D as a storage device for my music wich i play (via an USB cable) trough my car audio system.
This means that my car audio powers the Evo 3D.
In order to listen to my music i have to set my phone as a "disk drive" in order to acces my SD card.
This means that iGO cannot acces the SD card as it is UN-MOUNTED. If iGO cannot access the content from the SD it will not work.
QUESTION: is it possible to instal iGO and all of it's content directly on the phone? (space will not be an issue as i use 2 to 5 maps when i travel trough europe).
QUESTION: is there a piece of software that allows the SD card to be visible to Android and to an external device (such as my car audio)?
Thanks.

I forgot the exact name but there is a cord that plugs into the headphone jack of the phone, and it plays all audio through the car speakers, withput having to mount the sd card. Basically, the cord acts as headphones plugged from the phone to the car speakers...

That's a standard Auxiliary cable, I don't think that's what he wants.
I understand your problem OP, you may just have to put your music on a flash drive and run it from there.
This is why I don't like new cars. (;
I do that now (run my music from my usb flash). But, you know, it would be nice to charge my phone from my car audio and at the same time use my phone as a navigation and storage device.
I found an app on GooglePlay that promises to do just that (allow to use SD in multiple instances) but it does not work on ICS. The developer contacted by me said he was working on the issue.
I do not know how to present here the app because i'm new at using xda forum app but when i get to my laptop i will post a link.

I don't know if this has been posted yet. I had searched and didn't find anything.
I am trying to stream movies from my PC with windows 7 to the 3D. Every time I search for media devices, it says no devices found. I think I have everything set up on the computer right but it still won't connect.
Thanks in advance!

I thought you can only stream from your phone to PC and not the other way round.
when i'm at home, i just use cifs manager to mount my windows shared folders.
this allows me to play (stream) the videos via wifi as if they were on my sd card
Try to use SimpleSync or Skifta. they seem to work
Make sure that media sharing is on on your computer

PC-> Evo streaming
This isn't exclusive to the evo but Plex is an application that can do it. Just install the computer and android version. After it catalogs your desired folders or entire hard drive it will stream it.
Awesome! Thanks a lot guys. I appreciate all the helpful responses!
Now, are there any apps that will allow me to stream movies from my PC at home to my phone at work? Both are connected to wifi.

You could try Orb. Not sure what quality you'd get, not used it for a few years but if memory serves me right it transcodes on the fly to flash format so you can watch movies on your phone via a flash enabled browser. I used it for a bit on a wii before homebrewing it.

Would this allow 3d movies to be steamed? That is really the only thing I would want to steam and I have a ton of them. Way too many to put on my 32GB sd card. I have already filled twice and had to delete a bunch of stuff.

Yeah, I know what you mean about not enough space on a 32gb SD

Tbh I've not tried tversity with this phone yet, but i believe it transcodes to flash, so might work seeing as we can view 3D YouTube vids *shrug*
Is there a way i can sync music from my laptop to my EVO 3D without using a USB cable? All of my USB ports on my laptop have been smashed. Is there a way to use Wifi to share files from my EVO to my PC?
Personally i use Dropbox when transferring files.
It can also be used with DropSync, which does 2-way sync, both from PC-phone and phone-PC

How do I connect the Sony Xperia S in Mass Storage Mode?
There must be a way? Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) mode is not ideal for transferring Photos and Videos (ironically) as it doesn't show you thumbnails for the Pictures and Videos on your phone. Neither can you stream the videos straight from the device this way..
You have to first click on the file and wait for it to load, just to find out its not the one you want, and repeat the arduous process all over again for the next Video, till you get to the one you wanted..
Please Help

We can all open the storage on the device..windows does this by itself through autoplay when you connect the phone..
I'm talking specifically about mounting the storage with Full access privileges, as it would be if you plugged in a mass storage device (such as a hard drive).
All the previous Xperia range allowed this, and of what I know, most android devices allow this. This is a very fundamental feature required and expected of all phones these days. Your not exactly going to enjoy downloading a 3GB Video file only to find out that's not the one you were after..

It's also one that is going away with unified storage models. There are technical reasons behind this (as it's all one partition leveraging a fuse file system to mimic external storage) that it can't simply be "unmounted" from the OS side and mounted as external storage.

So the paying Consumers lose another round
vs Manufacturers and their cost cutting techniques..
Soon we will have phones that are nothing to do with what we want, they will be what's left after its attacked by a budget sheet. Zombies of the mobile world, where passion doesn't exist..
(lol got a bit carried away there, but you get the point) since when does something that's been demonstrated to be the more user friendly option (as demonstrated on the Galaxy s2 amongst other android handsets), get thrown out as if consumers are too stupid to notice that we are being put at a disadvantage?
oh well, welcome to the pathetic future, where what's in my pocket is what the account manager needed to get his bonus this year

It's more of a movement that does away with insufficient internal storage and allows the user to leverage available space however they see fit, but there is a tradeoff there.

I actually like the way it is now better. No more hassling around with too little storage for apps (HTC desire was horrible in that perspective). The built in memory is faster than SD cards. And mtp is working fine for most things.

Yey - they do a pc companion... problem is, I'm using a mac...
So no way of copying photos from/to it using iPhoto.
On the plus side, at least the "Salling Media Sync" application I used to use to copy music to my Hero/Desire still works with this phone when plugged in by usb.

You can use Sony Bridge for Mac to sync your music to your iTunes and it will move photos to your phone from iPhoto. It will also do software upgrades as well and use it as a file manager for your files on your phone.
MTP works fine on Windows, and there is the excellent Bridge for Mac for all Mac users:

Thanks for the Bridge to Mac tip guys... I've had my Sony Xperia S for a day so far, loving the phone so far - screen and camera are awesome, nice bump in speed over my old Desire too. Just didn't see anything on the mac bridge in all the google results on the subject of transferring files.
Will give it a go.

Anynet+ is just HDMI CEC and will work fine! Has been tried and tested.
If the Xbox supports standard DLNA, music sharing should work.

The irony is, that Xperia S choose to ignore this advantage as it still divides flash into "internal" and "external" storage. In my eyes it is one of the biggest flaws of this phone (together with flaps covering the interface sockets).
But it is definitely a way forward and the problems are solely on the computer software side. Which will get attention only when there are enough users demanding for this.
Is it possible to transfer .MKV files with MTP?
USB OTG works!! I can see my flash drive in the Settings/Storage, but can't seem to read it using ES File Explorer and my wireless mouse works perfectly. Anybody else try it?
EDIT: Astro File Manager reads all of my flash drives.
omg....they actually listen to us?!
I take it that you are running stock, not rooted or anything?
im stock rooted. before my external hard drive would just say "unable to charge device." now it ways that and that the disk is either blank or an unsupported format, so at least it recognizes it.
a usb mouse works fine. there is a cursor once its plugged in. wireless mouse works too.
my wireless keyboard is recognized, and there is even an inpu under select input, but nothing happens.
I've played some games with a USB controller. For some reason it won't power my wired Xbox 360 controller though. OTG is what I've really been waiting for. Hopefully I can use USB host and mhl at the same time with the adapter. Big screen gaming baby!

I can confirm this also and it does work. The only problem i have is when removing the flash drive. If i do as we're suppose to and go to settings>storage> and scroll all the way to the bottom and select "unmount usb storage" before disconnecting, it also unmounts my sdcard and i have to manually select "mount usb storage". Anyone know why it unmounts both??? I am running the newest jb rom, it's rooted stock rom with s-on and a custom recovery and backup. Not a big deal, just wondering if anyone else noticed this or is everyone else just removing the drive and hoping not to damage the drive or a file on it or even possibly their evolte????

I know this is an old thread, but I'm wondering if anyone has been able to successfully use a wired xbox controller. I've been using an OTG cable with the external power connector (although I haven't had to actually use external power for anything I've tried so far). I was able to get wired and wireless mice, wired/sireless keyboards, and fat32 and ntfs flash drives to work. I also connected a keyboard, mouse, and flash drive all at once using a usb hub and they all worked fine. The only think I haven't been able to get to work is my xbox controller. With or without power, when plugged in, it just flashes once every several seconds while plugged in. Nothing seems to recognize it.
This is the only thread that came up in the General Forum for the LTEvo that mentions xbox controllers... Anyone have any ideas?

if you have any lockscreen security enabled (pin, password, etc.) make sure you unlocked it once after plugging in, or the internal storage isn't accessible.
