Has anyone been able to update the drivers for their phone so they can transfer music and stuff to the internal storage?
I am not able to update my drivers using HTC Sync, I believe it has something to do with me being on Windows 8. But I'm not really sure.

I'm completely new to mobile phone development but am a very experienced programmer in C++.
I want to write an android app that can copy the contents of one external USB memory card to another external memory card.
From what I can understand from my reading so far I'll need a phone that can host USB devices (OTG) which seems to limit the number of phones I could use.
From the software side of things, would such an application require any special permissions to write to an external USB device? If so how are these permissions gained, I've read about rooting but this seems a pretty brutal method.
There seem to be quite a few initial hurdles to creating this app. I don't own an android phone yet and don't want to end up with a phone I can't write this app on.
Any advise / tips would be much appreciated.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

Just got my GS3 (previously i had GS2 I9100G) , now my question is that in the settings folder there is no option of USB UTILITIES which was there in my old GS2 !! How am i supposed to connect my storage memory to the PC via USB ??
By using the search function.
There are literally dozens of threads about this.
The S3 does not have mass storage mode, only Mtp (which works fine on Windows computers)
You can use your sdcard with Easy UMS though

I have Kies installed on my PC & so the moment i connect my phone to PC the Kies will take over , hence the confusion !!
Do i need to uninstall Kies ?? Sorry for these "noobish questions" !!
Guys i am really eager to know whether Kies , which has been installed on my PC , will take over or not because i want to copy some app-files from my PC on to my SD card !
there is an app called easy ums in our apps and themes section. install it and now you will get usb mass storage for your ext sd card. s3 by default dosent support mass storage .

what do you mean by take over ? just update kies to latest version , should have the mtp drivers installed too

I do have the latest Kies version & by the phrase "take over" i mean the phone will connect to kies straight away , which is not my goal !! I simply want to copy a few apps from my PC to my Ext SD Card !!
@bala_gamer .... Thanks for your kind help my dear bro , i am not a techie but will try as much as i can to follow the link you have given !!
Is there a way to just copy some apps from my pc to the handset using Kies ? Even if i can copy the apps on my internal memory , i can always move them to ext sd card !!
You can't move apps from internal memory to your sd card/install apps to sd card without rooting your device first.
Up to you whether you want to root your phone though.
Sent from my NexusHD2 using xda app-developers app
OK fine !! Now just let me put it this way , forget mass storage connectivity !! Just assume that i have a GO Launcher theme (or any .apk file) on my PC & i want to install it to my GS3 , what is the solution for this ???
On Windows Vista/ Windows7, go to My Computer and access the phone which should appear.
Windows XP is more complicated (as usual).
Alternatively you can:
- root and use Easy UMS apk as already mentioned
- Use AirDroid
- Use Samba Fileshare
- Use any other filesharing app with your phone
Btw: Pushing a thread after only 2 hours is considered rude. Everyone in this forum helps you completely for free and whether you believe it or not some of us do have a life outside the XDA world.
Thanks dear bro d4fseeker & i am really sorry for pushing my query but believe me it was out of pure curiosity of how my new GS3 would work !! I am proud to be a part of this awesome forum full of awesome members !!
hello everyone,
i'll go straight to the problem... i cant browse to my external SD card from any computer via USB cable.... but i can access the card within the phone just fine. this card has videos and photos only, no weird files or anything, so i have no idea if this is a problem with the image? or is it a problem with a setting i might have click or unclick by mistake that i dont know of? or what's going on??
here is my phone info
GT-I9100
4.1.1
3.0.15-Siyah-s2-v4.1.5
Resurrection Remix JB v3.8
Dont post questions in Development, moving to Q&A, please ask all questions there.
Thanks

I can't connect my YP-G1 to pc after installing CM 10. I have tried to reinstall the drivers and also reinstalled Kies and still can't get it to work. Does anybody have any idea why this is or have a solutions.
Thanks
It's fast charge enabled? If not, the SD cards may be switched.

I read on google that fast charge is in performance tab and I don't see it. I'm pretty sure that terrasilent 1.3.5 doesn't support fast charge.
You may have to switch the external and internal SD cards. The same thing happened to me when I I upgraded on CM 10.1.
Go in settings, storage, menu button, connect to computer, select either MTP or USB mass storage.
Hope it helps! Also next time, ask this to the Q&A thread.

So either my Tablet doesn't work or all the cables in my house don't have data transfer, but I have a sd card and I wondered if I can use that to root my Tablet, since in the recovery mode you can choose update from sd card

Buy a new cable and look into how to get into download mode and have drivers installed on your computer to root

Option "update from sd card" offered in recovery can't be used to root your tablet's Android: you use this to apply offical OS updates provided by OEM.
BTW:
Even if you find a script that would "root" your tablet's Android you will probably be unable to directly execute such a script from your sdcard. Reason is, with most ROMs sdcards are mounted using the noexec flag - which means, as the term suggests: "no execution from here".
