I am on a XIAOMI MI BOX TV, US 2016 EDITION.
I manage to format the USB pendrive as "internal storage". I had to try several times as it was failing, but eventually I made it.
I can now move some apps manually to it (i need to browse each app one by one from the internal storage, then select the external drive. This is not available for all apps though, i dont know why).
But whn I try STORAGE> USB DRIVE> MIGRATE > MOVE NOW , i get a "Unfortunately, settings has stopped working.", and nothing happens.
Not a huge problem as I can still move manually most apps, but I still experience these issues:
I need to storage a large collection of emulator ROMs on the USB DRIVE, but in the current status I am not able to select the USB Drive in ES EXPLORER
Not all apps are movable to USB DRIVE, slowly filling the internal memory as the number of apps increases
I need to move manually the apps one by one
Any idea on how to solve the MOVE issue, or any workaround for the points below?
I am using a Lexar JumpDrive S45 usb 3.0 64 GB .
Previously I also used an old SanDisk 8GB. It formatted at first try, but gave the same MOVE issue.
USB debugging is OFF.
cheers!
I got the same error, any clue?

Anyone come up with a solution yet for USB mass storage mode to access the external card?
I recently bought a 64gb microsd card and the SGS3 has no option for mass storage mode to access it. Trying to load lots of music files. Very frustrating
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
You're not able to open windows explorer to drag and drop you music to the SD card? When you click on your phone in windows explorer, it should open up another page to choose between your internal and external storage.
If you mean when connected to a PC, select camera mode when connected, in case the drive isnr compatible with mtp. You should be set then.
I can drag and drop. I was trying to use Double Twist program on my laptop to sync music so I have my itunes playlist intact. For whatever reason Double Twist doesn't recognize MTP or PTP connections on the sgs3.
I've run into a couple other situations with apps that don't recognize the external memory card. I think Quick Office Pro was another app I had trouble with as well.
I really miss the AOSP USB mass storage mode
Yes, not having UMS really sucks. I constantly have to switch between camera or media mode in order to transfer files. I'm 100% a custom ROM would fix this, but it should've been there out of the box. I wonder why samsung removed it.
Can't find Externel SD Card on my PHOne
I installed a 32GB external SD Card on my phone - when I plug in my computer I can see it just fine - I see T999 and Card as, connected to my computer via USB - this looked really different from how I have seen the external SD Card presented on other phones???
Plus - when I open ROOT Explorer or ES File Explorer to try to manage files on the Ext SD Card - I can't seem to find it anywhere - I can see the "SD Card" - which is the internal SD Card that comes with the phone- I have music files I have already put on that along with a ROM and Kernel Zip File that I flashed recently - and which I added prior to getting the 32GB external SD Card.
FYI - On my phone, When I go to 'Settings" Storage - I can see there is an SD Card with 29.71GB of available space (I don't have any files on it yet) - So I know the phone can recognize it - I just can't find it using any of the file explorers - is there some setting I have neglected to turn on ?
when I installed an SD card on my wifes EVO LTE I see both internal and external SD Cards - with names like SD Card - EXT SD Card -and or SDCard2 all depending on what program I was using to locate them -
on my new GALAXY SIII, right now I only see SDCard and can;t locate th external SD Card - any suggestions? (I feel like a real noob)

Yeah I gave up using DoubleTwist because of the outdated/slow support like what you are having and how it doesnt work well with mp3s over 10 mb. I switched to Syncr to use iTunes as my playlist manager and it works perfect. Syncr had support for the S3 almost the next day.

have you downloaded the latest samsung drivers? also if you connect the phon to your laptop, shouldnt thepull-down notification now ask if you want to use mass storage?

Mass Storage mode has been removed. Samsung now uses multimedia transfer or camera transfer (or something close to that). Mass storage is no longer an option in the drop down menu.

Awesome - thanks - I feel like such a noob - and I should have been able to figure that out - it was just so different than other I had seen. By the do you know if CWM will recognize the External SD Card? (on my wife's EVO LTE I could choose which of the two SD Cards I wanted to flash with - is there any wayt to that with CWM and or does TWRP work with this phone?
Thanks for the help - it is appreciated

Never heard of that program but it sounds like something I'll try out. I always used Double Twist in the past just because it imported iTunes playlist flawlessly. Sammy unfortunately takes away the AOSP mass storage mode. Sucks! :crying:

Is it "iSyncr" perhaps??? I tried a google search of just "syncr" and I'm having trouble finding it.
man that sucks... Looks like we have to wait for a port for a mod on the I9300 forums.
found this thread in the i9300 forums:

Unfortunately it only works for the international version (already tried it). I would hope that something like this could be created/ported for the US variants. I'd do it myself, but this kind of stuff is way over my head
Maybe one of our great devs could make this happen???

yes, you can use CWM (ROM Manager) to flash ROMs on the external card (although I prefer booting into Recovery and flashing the zip files manually).
Root Explorer Problem
I am having a similar problem. My phone recognizes my external SD card (64 GB Sandisk Ultra).
I can transfer files from my computer to my ExtSD via usb.
When I go in to my my files on my phone it shows ExtSD Card and SD Card, but root explorer, ES file, and Astro will not show ExtSD.
I have been looking all over for a solution but have yet to find one.
I finally realized what going to mnt/extsdCard meant. Feel pretty dumb.
In case people haven't seen, there is now a way to mount the external card in mass storage mode for US/LTE variants of the SG3:

Hi,
If this has been asked before i apologies but i've searched, used google, and never really found the answer i'm looking for.
I have a nexus 7, OTG cable, flash drive and stickmount installed. As an external storage device this works fine for movies, audio etc.
I'm not experienced with android having only previously used it on my touchpad, and wondered if the following was possible.
Is there an app that can essentially clone the externally mounted USB drive so that when installing an app with a large data download i can choose to download the data to the externally mounted usb drive instead of the main device memory. An example, Spiderman has nearly 2GB of data and i would prefer to move it using an app rather than having to continuously move the data file from the root to the external USB using es file explorer.
Many thanks for the help

Hard Link feature of ext4 partition can help you.
Hello. I.ve checked the first 40 pages of the forum and have seen this posted before but with no answers. I.m running cm7 on a 16gb NT, and for the most part, everything is good. However, I want to use my internal space to save things to, like pictures from the internet, etc. Whenever I try now, a message says I Don.t have an external SD card installed, which I Don.t, but I have almost 8 gigs of internal space I.d like to use. Also the media player installed with cm7 says no SD card installed. Surely there must be a way to use the internal space and have the apps detect it as an SD card?
There is a way, I haven't tried myself, that involves swapping internal with external memory, by tweaking build.prop and vold.fstab files. This makes the internal memory external, though the label remains as the original.
And you don't have 8gb internal memory (unless you reparationed it) but 1gb only.
when i go to storage in settings, it says i have 5.5G of internal storage and 7.45G of additional storage under /mnt/media. i haven't repartitioned anything myself, but this was a pre-owned nook, so maybe the original owner did. also, i do have the "internal storage" box checked in cyanogen settings... Any ideas? Or do you have more info on the file editing?

^^ link above is the method but for cm10 where storage is mounted as storage 0 and 1, in cm7 its emmc and SD card (or something like that)
So does anyone have the exact commands to use for cm7 in the fstab? Also, will I be adding these lines or replacing ones already there?
Does anyone have an answer for this? Its hard to believe all the NT owners out there are contented letting all that space go to waste...
Well, I'm not letting any space go to waste!. I put lots of stuff in my internal storage. Either I put it there when transferring from PC, or I transfer files between sd-card and internal.
But that's beside the point.
Check over in the Nook Color section and maybe you can find useful info there. I know it was discussed and solved for CM7 on the Color. Shouldn't be too different for the Tablet. One would think... and possibly be terribly wrong...
( I don't think there is a huge interest in CM7 for the NT any more.)
Has this issue been addressed in cm10? Does the nook recognize the extra internal space as a place to save stuff to from the internet and read files from like with media players? Sorry for being meticulous about this, but I bricked my other NT messing around trying to access this space (I unmounted and formatted it and believe I wiped my internal partitions) and don't want to mess up this one as well. Thanks for any help...
There doesn't seem to be an easy fix for this in CM10. However much I would appreciate having it done I don't think it's worth taking risks messing with things I don't understand, so I pop in an sd-card to keep the apps that want it happy. (Those of you that have more of a clue might think differently though.)
Things I want to stay on the Nook I put internally like I said in my previous post. Pictures, some books, soma PDF magazines, a couple of film clips... All in my internal "MyFiles" folder.
And how do you open those files, with a file explorer or with actual programs? Because like I said right now, even if I did have music stored in that internal space, the media player is telling me there is no sd card inserted and therefore won't even search for any music files.
I open from a file explorer and it asks me what I want to use and if to set to default the first time.
Edit: And also (I had to go check this to be sure I wasn't remembering wrong), once opened with Gallery the app seems to "remember" that there are albums in eMMc as well and they show up wvwn with sd removed. This is in CM10, mind you, if it acts differently in CM7 I wouldn't know.
More edit: I now checked on the kids' Nook Color running CM7, and both QuickPic and MX Player allow you through settings to decide where it looks for media. I still prefer going through a file explorer though.
and now we come to another issue... i cannot for the life of me get my computer to recognize my nook properly. i was going to add the files from my computer and then locate them with a file explorer, but when i connect it, either through the regular cm7 interface or through CWM, the computer cannot access the internal drives. it sees the nook, because 2 more drives open up, but i don't think i have the correct drivers, because it doesn't show up in ADB either. when i do adb devices, it comes up blank. the driver now lists the nook as Android ADB interface, don't know if thats correct or not, but doesn anyone have the proper windows 7, 64 bit drivers for this? nothing i've tried can gain access to those drives, or having the nook come up in adb...
Is this the first time you try to transfer files from PC to Nook? Has it been working before? Just to know if something has suddenly gone wrong .
You should get a prompt at the Nook telling you to enable USB storage or something like that. You probably need to go to settings and enable USB debugging or somethig similar as well.
Edit: I have never ever used ADB, so I have no clue how to fix things there!! I just use regular Windows File Explorer.

Are you running cm7 alpha? I think there was this problem in that but was fixed in beta
yes this is my first time trying to transfer files from the PC to the Nook, I installed cm7 as soon as I got it (which was this xmas). I don't have my computer on right now, but I'm 99% sure when I unzipped the release it said beta. Team-B version. nothing ever pops up on the Nook or the computer screen when I plug it in, I can only see the drives that get added to my computer, but can't access them.
After plugging to PC via USB you should get prompt on tablets notification bar. Did you get that?

ok i see the notification on the bar and it says usb debugging connected. when i click on it, it brings me to the settings mentioned in that other thread that asawi linked, but the android debugging mode is already checked. i followed that other thread and it turns out that guys cable was bad, so i tried the other cable i had that came with my other NT and still no luck. i doubt both cables i got could be bad... any other ideas?
Edit: ok queer. i restarted the nook while the cable was plugged in, and then i did get the usb storage connection option. however, after i hit connect, i don't see the drives in my computer. so i updated the driver automatically, and it went from android phone back to usb composite device. then i the drives popped up in my computer, but i still can't connect to them. i tried adb throughout all these options and i didn't get the NT to show up in the devices list at all.
You don't get the " turn on USB Storage"? There's usually 2 notifications when connecting. The setting you mention and the "turn on USB storage"
Hello,
When I updated my S3 to 4.3 from 4.1.2, it was terrible. It was very laggy, my screen didn't show when pressing the Power Button or the Home Button, and I thought that resetting to factory might fix it. Well, I was so desperate to make my phone work better that I didn't realize that all my files were on the internal storage, I don't have an SD Card. So, I've lost everything.
Now, I'm trying to recover some photos, but I can't connect my phone as USB mass storage to use a recovery soft on Windows 8. I rooted my phone, installed USB Mass Storage Enabler app, but it shows two drives (H: and I, but I can't access those. It gives me "Please insert a disk into Removable Drive (LETTER"
Please help, I did everything I found on forums, but still nothing. Those files might be lost, but now I have another battle.. Making my phone available in Mass Storage.
And by the way, it still works terrible with 4.3. Hate it so much!
Have you installed USB drivers ???
Have you read the stickied storage/ recovery thread ??

Unfortunately I think USB Mass Storage in the way it is implemented in 4.x for the moment can only share the external SD, the internal one is never visible.
IMHO the only approach to recover "something" is to get an external microSD larger than the internal partition and create a block copy (with dd under adb in CWM/Philz recovery for instance) of the entire "internal SD" partition - that one will be an EXT4 (Linux) partition) and there is a very, very small chance that you might recover some stuff from it (I doubt but who knows).
Yes, i have the Samsung USB Driver for mobile phone (1.5.29.0)
No, didn't read the storage/recovery thread.
Oh well...
Such error happens if transfer breaks unexpectedly. Think what file did you send lastly and delete it, it should fix your issue.
If you can't remember or it did not, formatting your external sd card will fix it for sure.

Is this the same ota that oneplus is sending to our devices?
Wait, so you defined the SD card as internal memory, and you're trying to migrate the data from internal to sd?
I have the exact same problem. I installed OxygenOS 3 and have the latest OTA update.
I enabled the adoptable storage (can't post links yet) but I can't see my sd card on my pc, when the phone is connected. It shows up in my phone without any problems.
I tried to reformat my SD into portable storage than into internal again but I always receive the "not enough storage message" whenever I try to migrate data.
Quoting from this thread on the Oneplus Forums: https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/use-sd-card-as-internal-storage-cant-also-with-6-0.460967/
this appears to be the answer.
1. activate USB Debugging on Developer Options
2. download adb tools here and put it in one folder.
3. plug your phone to pc via USB
4. now open windows explorer and "shift + right click" at adb folder, then sellect "open command window here"
5. type "adb shell sm set-force-adoptable true" (without quote) and then press enter
6. unplug your phone and go to setting>storage&usb>SD Card
7. click 3 dot on top right corner>setting>format as internal

Yeap, those were my exact steps. Actually my SD working is working pretty good in the phone, with all the new apps being correctly installed into it.
Deep down, what is really upsetting me, is that I can't see the SD card on my Windows Explorer when I connect the phone to my PC (and yes, I tried it on different computers as well). I really like to use it as a portable storage device
Before OxygenOS 3 I was using CyanogenMod and this was working as expected.
Do you have a clue what could be going on?
