[Q] Camera mounted without root - Nexus 10 General

Just connected my camera to my nexus 10, I was very surprised that I could see the photos in the stock gallery. Is there a way to mount a USB stick as a camera ? because I would like to see photos on my USB stick in my gallery instead of viewing/importing them with "nexus media importer"
Ps: I don't want to root my nexus

Yes, I know, but why is a camera mounted and not a usb stick ?
Send from my lovely Sensation XL, from a little town in france with a very very slow internet connection.

It looks like your camera mounts via MTP

Your camera is most likely being recognised as a PTP device which I believe (and I'm fairly certain), cannot be accessed directly by the device...

I can see all my 1900 pictures in gallery. I cannot edit them, to do that, I have to import them. But importing with the gallery app is way better then with nexus media importer.

What is the best way to transfer files from my Android phone to my Tab 10.1?

I have a Nexus S phone and a Galaxy Tab 10.1. What would be the best way to transfer files between the two devices directly? I've been using Dropbox for the occasional file but I need to move a good number of files quickly. Any ideas or app suggestions?
Get the USB adapter for the Tab, plug in a mulit-card reader, and stick the Micro SD card from your phone in that.
Or just use Bluetooth File Transfer:

For simple, small file it is recommended to use Bump. Its kinda fun and available for other platforms as well.
For larger, quick file transfer, it is up to you to transfer data using usb cable connecting to a single pc. If you have a wifi connection between the devices, you are free to use any wifi transfer software in the market. FTP function come 2nd to that.

If theyre both on wifi, i recommend using an app called websharing. You can turn websharing on on one device and type in the ip of that one in the browser of the other device and access files. Pretty convenient. Been transferring stuff from my vibrant to my gtab with no problems. Not too fast but certainly one of the easiest ways right now
how about dropbox .. check my signature ... thats how i transfer files from tablet to phone to Mac to PC .. etc

I've been using Dropbox as well to transfer albums and large pdfs from Mac/Nexus One to SGT as there's no other way to turn the SGT into a MSD on Mac. Websharing sounds like an interesting way to cut out the middle man. Thanks.

Well, it's quite useful. I was using the trial version from long time. After owning this tab, I upgraded to full version so that I can utilize the multiple files transfer at once. I don't regret my purchase.

CAnt play some video files

Quick question boys and girls.
I have sgs2 running on Villain 2.42 rom. Why am i not able to play videos made with my previous SGS?? SGS2 doesnt support those files,even when i try to copy them from computer i get message that my baby cant play those files.
Thanks for help!!
Just Copy them normally, not via Kies.
Try MoboPlayer, it's a good app.

[Q] How to transfer SGS3 pictures to PS3 via USB (MTP/PTP) ?

I want to upload my photos to my PS3 but it doesn't recognize my S3 neither in MTP (mass storage) nor in PTP (camera) mode. Had no problems of this kind with my old HD2. So what's wrong with this superphone? And is there a workaround? Thanks!
P.S. And no, I do not want to use Wifi/DLNA - it's just too slow and unreliable
Try using easyums

Also use dlna features, all share on stock Rom, any dlna server on aosp.

Ok, will try this if it doesn't require root.
But how come both modes wont work with my PS3 - even the dedicated camera mode? Shouldn't my PS3's photo software get along with it fine?
Am i the only one trying to connect S3 to PS3 via USB? seems like it...
Anyway, JB 4.1.1 didn't solve my problem. still no USB connection possible. EasyUMS needs root so I wont try this.

Galaxy S3 doesn't recognise external HD

I have an OTG cable and i installed stickmount pro and i can view my music, etc, etc via my Nexus 7,but even though when I use the OTG cable via my Galaxy S3 I get a notification from stickmount saying mass storage device mounted but i cannot view any music, etc that i have on the 500GB external HD which ironically enough is made by Samsung, can someone be of assistance here, how can I view my files via my Galaxy S3?

How is the external HDD partitioned / formatted? can you browse with a file manager on it?

Before I sold my laptop last week I formatted it via the simple format tool in Windows then copied all my files onto it, i thought I already checked via root explorer but couldn't see any files but i will check again and come back to you

Is the HDD spinning? HDDs require a fairly large amount of Power, I doubt that the SG3 is able to deliver sufficently.
It's a portable external HD and when it appears to recognise when mounted but i cannot view my files, it's only 500GB and i recall many on here saying that had a 1TB HD and it worked fine, so there has to be a way around this, it's turning into a long winded time consuming process trying to upload music onto my phone, I first have to upload to Dropbox which takes much longer and using loads of data then export from Dropbox to my Galaxy S3 :-\

Just to confirm I still cannot see any files when in root explorer when the external HD is connected but on my Nexus I can, sh*t I'm kinda regretting selling my laptop now if it's gonna mean this unless I can get a resolution

How is the drive formatted? NTFS? FAT32?
Hey there,
if the hdd has 500gb and you used windows to format it and you don't know the file system, usually it is NTFS. for this you need to root your phone and install an app from the market. usually paragon exfat ntfs does the job.

Mounting Device

I am aware that the devices cannot be mounted as storage devices on computers, but I am curious as to whether or not it is or will be possible to repartition them and make them mount? Adding media and such and managing files is a pain this way, even if it is supposidly faster.
It's nothing to do with the way the device is partitioned. Google switched to MTP with Jelly Bean. The original HOX was a mass storage device. But that was switched to MTP with the JB update too.

So that won't change again? I guess HTC manager is really the best solution now?

Windows should be able to handle MTP devices very much like it handles external storage. The device should show up as a Portable Media Player in your file browser which you can then browse just like any other storage.
