Ok the Samsung Galaxy S3 sucks.. every single time I reboot phone the android is upgrading happens to optimize the apps with Link2SD. Also no damn USB Mass Storage it's crap MTP. This phone is UTTER garbage!!!
I'm going to trade it in for a real phone the EVO 4G LTE that does not have the problems with SDCARDS and UMS.
Hopefully wireless and mobile speed is better also it's crap on this phone.. Hate it and it's not even been a full day! BULL**** no UMS and NO DAMN reviews or comparisons brought up this crap MTP!
Hell yeah! JOIN THE DARKSIDE! =D you'll love the feel of sense
btw samsung has been known to be screwy with sd cards
MTP is the way of ICS. Evo LTE does do USB Mass Storage as well, but you can only access the removable SD card. MTP lets you access both internal storage and your SD card at the same time.
Why would he trade when he can just return it and get a brand new one.. he only had it for a day

This is EXACTLY what I did. I had the GS3 for a week. It was ok, but I had quite a few problems connecting to it via adb and things like that. For what I like doing with the phone, the EVO was a better choice for me.

Yep, that's exactly what I said in my post, you can access both. MTP = Media Sync. I was simply pointing out that ICS now uses MTP (Media Sync) for transferring files via usb instead of USB storage. That is, unless a manufacturer modifies the code to do so.

With my Touch HD when i connect the phone via cable i can access the SD card like another drive. It doesnt seem to be possible with the Hero. Is it possible? Am i missing something? If its not its damn annoying to say the least!!
RTFM!
Pull down the notification screen and tap mount SD.
Call me old fashioned but i would have liked a real manual, not a PD bloody F! But thanks, saves a lot of hassle.

At least it has a couple of booklets and a sheet in my Hero, which is a lot, comparing with iPhone

Cannot the hero view pdf files?
actually, my hero came with CD. Manual was also there. BTW I used to have problems mounting sd card... checking box near USB debugging in menu>settings>applications>development solved my problems.
funny, this was covered in the printed Quick Start guide that came in the box with mine.....
I used my evo 4g as my mp3 player for my car. Just plug it in to the usb and good to go. I tried it this morning w/ the lte, and it worked fine.
Got back in the car, and now no matter what, my head unit says "device error". the evo is set to disk drive, and i have rebooted multiple times. It did work this morning, so I cant imagine what the deal is.
So I tried taking out my sd card, and moving my songs around the phone using file explorer. It worked for a bit using connect as medai sync. Again, worked 1 time, then as soon as I pull the cord out and try again, nothing. Now my headunit either says device error or "no song". Sometimes the phone doesnt even give me the option to use as disk drive, just the htc sync.
So I finally loaded a rom. Worked great for 1 time. Now the same issues all over again? Any ideas on how to fix this? I'd rather not plug in anything made by apple into my car.
Do you have an aux in port? If so use it with an aux cord.

SD cards can become corrupted if the OS doesn't mount and unmount the drive properly. Try plugging your phone into a PC, and see if Windows/YourOS picks it up properly. Then unmount in Windows or on your phone (just switch to 'charge only').
See if that makes a difference.

The head unit is usb only. It is a mp3 player head unit. Meaning a usb cord runs to the front of my car for any device to plug in. Other devices work just fine. the evo 4g worked fine. This is the only device that just stops.

Yep, Windows picks it up just fine. It shows the sd card though, unless I use HTC sync. The same problem happens even if I have the mp3's on the phones internal storage, and not the sd card.
Head unit doesn't read MTP protocol for mounting. Most don't.

Excellent point - Honeycomb and ICS use MTP, whereas your OG EVO uses USB Mass Storage. I would check the documentation on your head unit, or contact their support, and you can probably confirm this.

If this is in fact the case....is there a device that I can purchase that I can put my sd card into that is USB Mass Storage? Like a simple cheap thing? I'm fine with just storing my music on the sd card and swapping it in and out of the phone.
You can use an external sd card and mount it. Tested on my wife's pioneer a few minutes ago, confirmed it read 236 mp3s and played through a few. Didn't seem to read the id3 tags though which is odd.
It will not read any off the internal card....

Since the dna does not have an sd card slot, would I be able to get a adapter for micro usb to usb and then use a flash drive for more space?
that really is a good idea

Yes, USB hosting is supposed to work on this device.
So, as I posted in a different thread, why not a case that plugs in the the usb and has either flash memory or an sd slot? The make those extra case batteries, why not an extra storage case?

You have to be rooted and have a app from chainfire call root stickmount.
Update: I was told "Sense 4+ has the option for it!", so I'll have to look under settings. So it looks like you don't need root and you can turn on USB host.
Internal micro SD hardware hack?
I posted this question in another thread, but posting as reply here too. Since the J Butterfly has a micro SD slot, I'm guessing the DNA has the internal connections for a slot. Can anyone verify this? Might someone be able to develop a hardware hack to add in an internal micro SD card?

Someone posted pics of the DNA taken apart, and there is no spot for a SD Card.
---------- Post added at 01:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:46 AM ----------
On another note... anyone have the DNA unlocked/rooted and an OTG cable? If so, can you plug a USB Thumb Drive into the phone, boot to recovery and see if recovery recognizes the drive? I only ask as it could serve as a SD Card to flash ROMs/Zip Mods and store Nand backups if it does... and if it doesn't, we should ask the TWRP guys to see if it is possible.
Good news and bad news...
So on the plus side, I can confirm that USB hosting works!!! I made a horrible makeshift OTG cable and it works!!
Its really nice, I tried a 4 port hub with keyboard mouse and flash drive. I love it. Now all I gotta do is put linux on here
However, space is so limited on this thing, didn't think I was gonna regret not having an sd card slot!! Bummer...
But WorldOfJohnyboy gave me hope. His idea is great. Unfortunately I was disappointed when I found that neither CWM nor TWRP picked up the drive.
I was hopeful that it was gonna work since it works perfectly on android with out any thrid party apps, but I didn't even see flashing from the drive while booting recovery.
Oh well, hopefully its something that can be worked on.
I bought a cable for $2 on ebay, plugged it into the micro usb port on the phone, stuck a microsd card reader on the other end and I can read and write to my old SD card. No problems at all here.
If you had a ton of extra storage that you wanted to access, you could get one of those hard drives that creates its own wireless network. They have mini flash-drive sized ones, but they're pretty expensive and arguably unnecessary.
Havoc, I have a feeling the reason why the recoveries didn't recognize it is due to the programming end, I.e. its not setup for it. I'm sure someone could get them to work with it though, someone smarter than me haha.

Hey guys,
I did a search but didn't find a relevant thread to the One m7. The lack of SD card slot is a little concerning to me. As long as I can plug it in to my PC and it sees it as a "removable thumb drive" of sorts, I'll be fine without the SD card. Can anyone confirm this functionality? Or is it locked to crap like an iPhone?
Trying to decide between the One and S4. Not an easy decision by any means. I really like the One but I must be able to load custom ROMS and root/unlock bootloader.
Thanks

Almost all if not all Android phones will show up as a drive when you plug them into a computer. The HTC One is no exception. It shows up. It also has USB OTG support so if you get a proper cable you can plug flash drives into it.
Awesome, thanks. I've had my EVO 3D since it came out, and it's been a pretty good phone but I'm due for an upgrade!
So, does the One show an "internal" SD card of sorts, is it a different partition? Just wondering if the process will be the same when booting into recovery to flash ZIPs and what not.
I don't understand how people can cram more than 25GB onto a phone. -_-
Well, I like to be able to use my phone as a removable thumb drive, and I also have Bluetooth in my Jeep and love streaming music from my phone that way. It works great. I have a sizable music collection and also like to keep software installs and other things handy (I work in IT) So the 64GB model is looking pretty good right now if I can still do all these things the same way I did before.

It mounts as a single drive. In windows, it shows up as a Portable Device, HTC One, and it is just a drive. There is a separate partition for the HTC Sync Manager.
The first time I plugged it in, it needed to install the USB drivers. After installed, I had to reconnect it, and it mounted the drive.
Additionally, I did not have to change the USB settings, toggling between USB Drive, or charge, or sync. It just shows up. Somewhat different than what I'm used to on my Inspire, but works much smarter now.

We have very similar goals ... :highfive::highfive:
but want to have an un-secure partition for USB flash drive. I use this as a tablet so I need to have usb flash drive access.
Is there an app for that yet? Aside from doing all the grunt work of shelling into the root / moving directories by hand?
There must be a better way.
