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.

why does it take so long to copy directly from PC to GS3 via USB cable?
(vs. using a card reader)
I tried several different 16GB and 64GB cards.(Kingston, Sandisk, Samsung OEM)
It always take longer whey copying from PC to GS3. When using a card reader,
it's always a lot faster....
Im no expert but i think its down to the MTP connection system used in the gs3 rather than USB mass storage.
Try to use dedicated "USB mass storage" mode instead of mtp.

Are you running XP or Win7? I had the same problem with my notebook at the office that has Win XP installed. I installed the latest Samsung drivers (can be found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961956/) and that solved it for me. Hope it helps.

Theres a workaround somewhere I saw on xda which allows you to use your external sd-card as UMS instead of MTP

I'd like to try but I don't see such option on my S3. Is this available on stock ROM?
it's an app, check the themes and app section here

So i did something stupid by deleting a bunch of pictures that werent supposed to be deleted. now im trying to get them back. So i do what i always do when something like this happens, i google it. The best one i found was one on android-photo-recovery.com /tutorials/recover-deleted-photos-from-samsung-galaxy-s3.html#update. and it sounded great, EXCEPT that in the tutorial it shows both internal and external memory. i need the internal memory. so dispite rooting my s3, and now trying 3 different programs, i cannot get UMS on the internal memory. HELP!
I don't think you can get UMS for internal memory. The feature is not available yet for S3.

Unfortunatelly I did the same thing and there is nothing you can do, I have even contacted Samsung and they advised nothing can do, if it was external drive then we could
Afaik nobody has found a hacked to enable ums on internal memory.

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.
Maybe it's been asked that's great and all but I haven't found a solution that's worked yet.
How can I transfer files from phone to pc and vice versa. I used HTC sync I think it's called and it didn't work when I tried it. Thanks.

Enable usb debugging on your phone on developer options in settings! Go to my computer double click on ur device then drag and drop the file into the folder you want it to be on your phone. Hope I helped and you get it to work. If you still can't get it or need to see it be done try YouTube !

A great way to automatically sync files is DroSync on app store. It syncs any folder on your phone with any Dropbox folder.

Does it give you a device name when you plug your phone in?

It should be included with whatever the latest version is, AFAIK you need it for MTP to work as its not native in XP, but is in later windows versions.
