[Q] Phone as USB mass storage device?

Is there anyway to get the X10mini pro to show up in windows as a standard USB mass storage device, like my camera or MP3 player? I want to be able to simply copy files over to the phone without using Sony’s software etc. Is there an app I can download for this?
when i connne it shows up as long as there is a memory card not sure if need to select mount usb on the phone menu , if you want the phone memory im not sure its possible to view but as its not that big i guess ur just looking for the memory card
how do you select mount usb on the phone menu? I am still unable to connect this phone as a usb mass storage device and upload files to the card without the Sony Software

When you plug in the USB cable from the PC to the phone, are you greeted with this menu (see attached image)
Thanks I am familiar with that screen, however I can't get the phone to be treated as a USB mass storage device. I just want to be able to browse the memory card like on an MP3 player, camera etc without having to use the Sony software. Is there anyway I can do this natively in windows or linux?

When that screen pops up, just select "Connect my phone", and it'll mount it in mass storage mode. Works perfectly fine for me on PCs without the software installed. Haven't tried it on linux, but it works on my car's stereo that plays mp3s off a connected usb device, so I can't see why it wouldn't
My phone works like that but only with the phone drivers installed. I treid this before I installed the phone drivers but windows just said the drive was unreadable. Also you can't browse the entire directory structure.
Very odd. My Windows XP SP2 has no drivers in it for the phone but manages to read the memory card
Works fine here as regular usb mass storage in Mac OS X.

Ive just suddenly had a brainwave: asking for drivers? That to me sounds like its in USB debugging mode. Switch that off and it should be ok

Some Files Not Showing When Connected To PC

I am having an issue with files not showing up on my PC, that are in root explorer. I search the directory on my PC and and it doesn't come up.
By default, GS2 connects in MTP mode which only shows/transfers media files (videos and pictures). You will need to connect as Mass Storage mode in order to show everything. Go to Settings->Wireless and networking->USB->Enabled USB Mass Storage before you connect the USB. Then you connec the USB and hit the button screen to enable the storage. This way, the phone storage will show up as a external drive.

Thanks I was able to view the files on the PC, I just can't see all the files. I am trying to access the directory. data/data/com.com.2us.HB3D to replace a comlib.dat file. I see this directory in root explorer, but on the PC I can only see /data/datacom.com.2us.HB3D and not any other files.

maybe I'm wrong but I didnt think you can see all your files on sdcard due to security reasons. Only files that are in the "sdcard" folder, or whatever its named now

Figured it out just now, a while ago when clicking SD card in root explorer, it would come up with "SD card not mounted". So what fox told me earlier did work! I transferred the file I needed to "USB Storage", then went to "SD Card" in root explorer and pasted the file over.
i guess i was wrong. glad to see you got it working, though.

Transfer files into HTC View

I can't figure out how to transfer movies,docs,music, etc. to my View from my computer.
I thought simply connecting it to it will automatically allow me but although my comp does recognize my View, It doesn't let me view/transfer and files to it.
Any ideas ?
click on the "USB connected" line in the notifications. Change it to "disk drive"and it will mount on your computer.
Oh ok thanks a lot,
Do you know what folder do I put videos/music in if I want to watch them later ?
Can you use an SD card and do all the work on your PC? I made a "music " folder and a "video " folder on the PC and did the transfer from there.

[Q] Problem With SD Card

Hey guys!
I'm having a problem with my SD Card here...
The SD was normal, my phone was normal too, but I decided to Unlock my Bootloader...
The bootloader is unlocked now, I installed a custom kernel "NaA" and I reflashed my room, just to make sure.
But, after all this, the SD Card problem begun...
Every time I connect my phone to the PC, the message "touch the button to connect bla bla bla" appears normaly, but when I touch the button to see the content of the SD Card on my PC, automaticaly appears the message on the StatusBar that I can safely remove my SD Card.
I cant formmat via PC, because he dont recognize my SD (Because of the "touch button" problem)...
What can I do?
Thanks!
Well, I've no idea what's causing that but you should be able to see what's on the SD card via your PC by using the memory stick adaptor that came in the box with your phone. Or try buying a memory card reader.
Or..when you connect your phone to the PC, don't select the option to view your files on the window that pops up, just select the bottom option instead ("Charge Phone" or something similar). Then use your pull-down menu and select the USB Storage option.
Normally, this lets you view the contents of your memory card on the PC. Because I don't know why you're having the issue you are, I don't know if this'll work or not but it's worth a try.

[Q] Storage contents not being shown on computer (device without CID)

Hi guys
Since I lost the CID of my RAZR XT910, I'v been using Boot Menu Manager. There's one annoying problem has been always bugging me.
The contents of both internal and external storage are not being correctly shown on computer (Windows 7), no matter the device is connected as MTP or mass storage.
For example, I create a folder with file manager on the device and then connect phone to computer, this folder may not be displayed. It seems that the contents are cached on the computer and never get refreshed. This happens most of the time.
Everytime I transfer files I have to use a card reader, and this is very inconvenient.
Does anyone know if this is caused by Boot Menu Manager or there's something wrong with my computer system?
Thanks for any infomation in advance.
