[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

Can't access phone's storage through USB - using TheCollective AoCP

Hi,
I can't access my computer's memory or the MicroSD card when I hook up the phone to my PC.
The phone recognizes the USB connection because it goes into Debug mode but there's nothing in the notifications bar to allow me to switch the phone into storage mode.
When I first hooked up the phone to the PC, Windows 7 tried to install a driver but failed. I think that might the issue. What driver do I have to install on the PC side to get this to work?
Or maybe its just a setting on the phone side I need to configure?
Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I717 windows explorer doesnt see

when I plug in my I717 via USB in my desktop, windows sees it as Samsung Android device, but when I go into windows explorer, there's nothing to see (the usb or sd storage isnt listed at all) and I do have mtp usb storage activated on the phone and usb debug. I am running gingerbread touchwiz rom. I can see the phone and transfer files wirelessly with ES file explorer, but I cant access the sd card or the phones internal storage through usb windows explorer connection even though device management shows Samsung android device. Windows Device manager shows the phone with no yellow flags. anyone had this happen and found solution to share? thanks
You can try rebooting the computer, using different usb ports, using a different cable. I don't know if this works on gingerbread but I have used it on jellybean roms before when I've had trouble connecting... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.zatta.USB_switch
Just thought of one other thing. You didn't say anything about Windows loading the device drivers so I gotta ask if you have installed the Samsung drivers?

yep..have samsung drivers. also, about the app you linked above, I'd like to try it out but google play says its not compatible with my device (probably because I'm still on gingerbread). anywhere else I can download the apk and try manual install?
I think your problem is that you are connecting via MTP (media transfer protocol). You need to connect via USB mass storage. With your Note not connected to your PC, go into Settings, under Wireless and network look for USB utilities. Follow the phone's instructions for connecting to USB storage to your PC. Wait for the Windows autostart to read the phone storage. (My PC is XP and takes a minute or so.) Then you should see two new drives show on Windows Explorer. One is phone internal storage and the other is the phone's external SD card. Hope this works for you. Good luck!
I believe sonebwood is on the right track on this. I remember when the Note first came out I had to change something to get windows to see the drives. Is there any particular reason you keep the phone on gingerbread? ICS was a lot better and you can update to JB through Kies.

Installing driver everytime I connect Z2 in MTP mode!

Greetings XDAians!
Help Me Pls!!!
Whenever I connect my Z2 to my PC via USB cable in MTP mode, the computer though detects the device but am unable to surf my Internal and External Card and thereafter I have to reinstall the driver for MTP and then only am able to see both the drives on my PC. I have to repeat this procedure each time I connect my cell.
But when I connect my device in MSC mode, there is no problem. My system immediately detects my phone and I can easily browse my SD card.
My system runs on Windows 7 64 bit.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Regards!
Are you using the same USB port?
Yes .. Indeed I use the same USB port to connect my Z2 every time!
And each time I restart my PC, I have to reinstall the driver for Z2 when connecting in MTP mode!
Please Help!
Am still having the same issue. Could anyone have any idea on this please? Help!

Is USB OTG needed for DriveDroid?

Hello guys.
I was trying to boot Windows from my mobile phone. First I tried to create a bootable USB drive but failed since my phone does not support USB OTG.
Now I want to boot Windows with DriveDroid, but before unrooting the phone I wonder if USB OTG is required too because I saw some labels like USB Host in DriveDroid or what is that refered to?
Another thing I see is my cellphone should support USB Mass Storage capability. Is there some app to check that? I could not find it.
Any help will be appreciated.
