[Q] connecting my desire via usb to archos 101 = "ready to remove external disk"
Hi,
when connecting my desire via usb to archos 101 (to read my phone's SD card) I get immediatly the "ready to remove external disk" message.
Even when I activate USB storage on my desire, nothing changes
Only thing that happens is that my archos charges my desire
It would be great to transfer data though, anyone any ideas?
Thx
B
I had this problem too, it doesnt just dont work by your monile phone
Unfortunality,the archos cant recognize your phone...
you can try urukdroid, it has many improvements about the usb port
you had this problem too? do you mean instaling urukdroid solved the problem for you?
thx

I still have^^ with a bunch of usb devices, but i think this bug isnt something about your phone
Installing Urukdroid could solve your problem, because in UD we have a 500mA kernel
(Energy that the usb port is getting^^ in normal archos android this is 100mA)

It may help, it may not. For me, it's not a problem with USB power, it's the partition system or mounting script. I have Urukdroid on my 101, and some client's EVOs, Fascinates, and others will mount correctly. My HD2 will not work with some versions of CM7, and will with others. Most Desires do not work, but some have. I've never bothered to really research the problem though, as there are a ton of other ways for me to do whatever transferring needs done. For APKs I use bluetooth, bigger files I do either over the network, or by swapping SD cards.
P.S. Lenn, the 100mA limit is only on the A70. Our 101s put out 4-500mA with stock firmware because they have a full host port.
thank you guys for the feedback... I use bluetooth also which works fine but I was just wondering if it was just me...
I have the same issue with an external card reader which is really a pain because that was my planned workaround for the fact that I can't see my pictures on my camera (see thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1122799)
For this reason I am thinking of installing urukdroid 1.0 because this still uses an older version firmware I believe
Also this problem http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1123259 seems related to the newest firmware
cheers

Yes, I did experience the battery not showing 100%, but the battery reporting has always been inaccurate. I think it was calculating the percentage wrong, because I didn't experience any faster discharge times, as others in that thread say.
The external card reader is slightly surprising though. If it uses a generic MSC (Mass Storage Class) driver, it should work. Does it/has it ever needed drivers installed on Windows to show up? If they use a generic driver, but change the ID to be proprietary, it can cause issues with Android, and even Linux.
Uruk is a blend of old and new firmware, and definitely doesn't have the charging issue. I think it's worth installing, but I run an IT company, so I actually enjoy things like that.
The install is pretty easy these days, at least compared to a few months ago, so I'd give it a shot.

Probably unnecessary. If Windows shows it as a generic Mass Storage Device, I'd expect it to work. If you have the time, maybe use logcat to watch the logs, and post em here. Maybe we'll find a descriptive error that we can work from. I'm a bit busy, but I'll try to experiment at some point. There is a possibility it draws too much amperage, but I doubt it. Logcat should show a overcharge message if that's the case.
Why not connect via WiFi???

To transfer data from an SDcard? Really? That's your suggestion?
When I connect the phone to my PC via USB, I only get two options. One is a media mode and the other is a camera mode. Either mount the phone as a normal hard drive (like my Galaxy S1 does). While the media mode does allow me to copy files to the phone, it is really slow.
Is there a way to put the T999 in USB mass storage mode?
+1... this is stupid

Are you rooted yet? Requires root, but it also has some warnings not to use it yet.
It doesn't work for us yet

You have to install the Android File Transfer: http://www.android.com/filetransfer/
You also, when connected, have to change it from MTP to Camera... It'll load automatically on my Macs now.
On a PC, changing it to Camera makes it just connect and open up an explorer window.
After working with the phone for a few days I find I am using dropbox more and more as a replacement for connecting to my PC via USB. We'll see how it goes.
Sup my XDA'erzz... Hey so real quick is anyone experiencing issues with Android File Transfer and a Mac? I'm specifically using a Macbook Pro i& quad-core with a SSD and running OS X 10.9 Mavericks... I never had these issues with my Verizon OG HTC One 32GB... But since picking up a Verizon HTC One Max 32GB Android File Transfer refuses to work and for the life of me I can't figure out why.. If I just plug it in nothing happens unless I manually launch AFT and then I receive a message that says please connect your android device with a usb cable. If I plug it in and restart the phone it picks it up but then says can not connect to device... It's extremely annoying because I'm working on some ROMs for it and I have to constantly ADB push everything....... Not that big of deal but I'd still like to be able to mount my storage where everything is visible and can add/remove as I please.... Any suggestions would be great, thanks guys!!
Try using a different cable. Sometimes its a simple solution thats overlooked.

Reinstall drivers, not a mac user so idk if you need the fastboot or adb files from sdk. But if you do, reinstall those exe files

Did you look at what the usb phone setting is on. I know there are extra ones like modem or something or other that could prevent transfer.
I am having similar issues, the mtp file transfer mode seems to borked. I can get files from phone but not send em. I've been mounting my external sd as drive then moving the files using root explorer.
Of course.. It always shows that MTP mode is enabled but does nothing when you tap it, and also shows usb is connected on the phone but when taping that it brings up only options for internet passthrough and sharing etc...

Right. Internet passthrough and others. Dont some of those stop file transfer when active.

Could be the USB 3.0 intermittent issue. Try a powered hub that is USB 2.0 as if your notebook is new enough most likely the USB ports are all 3.0.
Just saying.
Hey. Just want to get some music files on my phone. This HiSuite business sucks.
Can some one help or redirect me. Please.
Best solution: scrap Windows 10
Second-best solution: use WiFi File Explorer (I personally use the paid Pro version)
Third-best solution: use AirDroid
Once you've done a few file transfers using WiFi, you'll wonder why you ever bothered with a cable in the first place.
I've been using My Phone Explorer on androids for years http://www.fjsoft.at/en/

If you have no use for HiSuite, ditch it, it's more of a pain than it's worth.
Once you've ditched HiSuite, you will be able to drag and drop files to your phone without issue.

How do I just ditch it? When I connect my device to my computer it doesn't actually come up, instead I get this Hi-Suite cd-rom installer.
I've developer mode and USB debugging on.

Try turning off usb debug, and when your phon asks charging or file management, choose file management (or something like that).
Airdroid is a piece of crap now compared to Airmore. I've been using airdroid for few years, but when you have to transfer large files, it always stop before the end. Airmore is way more reliable than airdroid.
To ditch Hisuite, juste uninstall it from your computer, and when you plug your phone you have a notification : click on it and change from "charging only" to "MTP"

I don't have the luxury of wifi. Sounds nice.
MTP is set up but HiSuite autoloader pops up on my PC.
I'm going to just use ADB for file transfers.

I just use adb, it's way faster than using Windows Explorer.
The OP probably has solved his/her issue already, but what i did with my Huawei GR5 is uninstall Hi-Suite ( with CC cleaner ) , plug the phone in via usb cable , then ignore what pops up on the laptop or cancel it , goto the phone and scroll down from the top to get the notifications , find the USB option which should be on charge only ( nothing highlighted ) and click on the 'Files' option under the USB icon . Then a represntation of my phones storage pops up and let me modify any files on my phone ie add music or videos . hope this may help some peoples having issues in the future .
Whenever I attempt to connect my phone via USB to USB-C or even from USB-C to USB-C using my Windows 10 Laptop, I'm unable to select the File Transfer option. My phone immediately begins charging, and Device Manager does not detect an unknown device.
Is there a workaround to resolve this issue as I would like to place some audiobooks onto my phone that I have stored on my computer.
This has been an ongoing issue for sometime now and I'm still unable to resolve the issue myself. Hopefully someone here can help me resolve this issue as this is the first phone where I've been unable to successfully File Transfer. This feature is important for me to transfer files to and from my phone.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Do you have the latest USB driver installed? Also using a USB 2.0 port (A to C cable) seems to work best.
Sometimes it helps enabling USB Debugging in the Developer options.

Do you get a popup on your phone to choose between charging, file transfer, MTP, PTP etc when you connect the phone to the PC/laptop? If not, you may be lacking the correct drivers.
Also in Developer Options, have you enabled the correct USB configuration?

Thanks for your response. After downloading the latest USB Drivers and updating each and every USB Serial Bus Controller, using the latest USB drivers, it states each and every Driver is up to date.
As you can see in this image HERE, I don't have a USB 2.0 Port; Only USB Root Hub 3.0 Ports instead. Could this be the issue? And if so, how do I go about downgrading from USB 3.0 down to USB 2.0?

Yes I sure do, but whenever I attempt to select between the default option of charging over to file transfer, it immediately reverts back to charging again. Initially, I thought it may be down to me using a generic cable, but even after using the official USB-C to USB-C adapter that comes with the Pixel 6a, and the fact my laptop supports this option, I thought this may have resolved the issue. Unfortunately, neither option allows me to file transfer.

I see that you have an AMD system. By any chance is it older than a couple of years? There was an issue with USB ports on AMD PCs/Laptops some time back which, to my knowledge, was never resolved. Instead, the newer models started working alright.
Check with an Intel machine or one that has USB 2.0 ports.
are you using original cable type c cable? used to have that issue then I found out my current usb c (Xiaomi cable) is 5a,it will charge the device but very slow and wont show in device manager ..then i changed to 3a..the issue is solved..
and im using AMD Processor

You could be onto something here. Like you've stated, my laptop is older than a couple of years old, and I've had ongoing issues with my Lenovo Laptop and it's USB ports for as long as I can remember. Do you think a BIOS update could possibly resolve this issue?
It's just a little weird why it worked fine with my old Poco F1, but for whatever reason, with the Google Pixel 6a, it doesn't seem to want to play ball.
Could a possible workaround since all my Auidobooks are stored on an External HDD to simply connect my Phone to a newer PC/Laptop alongside the External HDD and copy/paste the audiobooks over if my phones internal memory is detected? If so, this maybe my only option.
Thanks for the heads up though. This is good to know as it reaffirms my initial suspicion that it may be a USB related issue with regards to this laptop than anything to do with the phone itself.

Now that you mention it, I don't think I have if my memory serves me right? Would a simple cable like the one in this link HERE do the trick? If so, I'll order one tomorrow and see whether this resolves the issue. If not, I know it must be my laptop and not the phone that's causing these issues.

I don't know about that specific cable you linked. What I do know is that people seem to have more success with A to C cables in general. I'm using an Anker A to C cable, but I don't know what model it is.

I remember reading that it was choosy in deciding which phones to work with and which phones not. In other words, it worked with some brands and did not work with others. I also remember it did not work with OnePlus.

Why not just plug the external drive directly into the phone? I do that all the time when moving .flac and .mp3 files around -- works fine.
(Though it might depend a bit on the file system the hard drive uses.)
