Strage USB Mass storage problem

Hi, I have a problem, if I try to put something on Diamond using USB Mass storage, strange error (somethink like "way is too deep" - I dont know, my windows are running Czech, so I dont know English name of this error) come. What can I do? I use 1.93 ROM.

I have the same problem! In English is says something like 'cannot copy [filename] - the path is too deep.'
My USB mass storage is not working properly, as in this thread, but when it does work it gives this error near the end of each file transfer.

Yes, I am happy that anyone else has this problem too.

Are you using any other USB storage at the same time? That seems to be what was causing my problem.

I have exactly the same. Only another USB Mouse is connected. I still hope its because of the lame USB 1.1 of my laptop. Trying it on the USB 2.0 2moz.

No, it is not. I have in fact very high-end PC, and I has this problem.

Well.. then Damn it.. Hope its ok with another Rom i'll update soon. Otherwise i have to live with lame as **** Active sync

My words friend, my words.

It means the path is too long, as in the amount of characters.
Instead of copying 'nameofafilewithalargenameblablablaablablabalabla.bla' to a folder like /Folder/Folder/Folder try keeping it short. Hopefully this will fix your problem.

This is not a problem, I am copying normal files, such as videos named like serial.E1.s03.avi right to root of the device.

Have you tried it in both ActiveSync mode and External Storage mode?

[Q] "How do i connect the phone to the PC to transfer Music files?"

Hello,
truthfully if I wasnt locked into a contract for 18 months I'd throw this phone in the canal.
Out of the box it's complete and utter tripe nothing works on it, it lags between apps, bluetooth crashes phone, can't connect it to PC, couldnt update the software etc etc utter utter rubbish.
I finally updated the software to 2.2 via the 02 stores 'Tec Guru' yesterday. I thought 'great at least the phone will work now'. I was wrong.
It still is completely unrecognised from the PC, it just says 'connecting' when I run Kies and hangs there like it did before I updated to phone software.
I can appreciate if your tec savvy it may be an easy problem to sort but for the average person this phone is a complete joke, I hate it I really f***ing hate it.
Honestly how does anyone think this phone is good? all I want to do is put some music on it, I may as well learn how to do a full MOT on a 88 Ford Fiesta it would be easier then overcoming the non stop hurdles this damn stupid phone throws at you.
Samsung suck, this is the most bug ridden overpriced tablet of ****e I've ever seen.
I've tried everything to get this tab of crap working, it doesn't, it's a shower of crap. If anyone knows how I get a PC to recognise and connect to this turd of a phone I'll be your webs slave for an hour and write out your emails etc.
Arghhh pleasse help if you can

If its as you say taking it back under the sale of goods act.
Be polite to them and try not to swear at them .
Reads like you have a broken phone out of the box .
jje

you could have simply asked
"How do i connect the phone to the PC to transfer Music files?"
without the need for all that extra colorizing decor around it
first make sure the Drivers are installed
You'll need to either download Samsung KIES, or download Android SDK from Google
reboot the PC / MAC
then connect the phone to the PC or Mac, make sure it's connected directly to the computer and not through an USB HUB
once connected slide down the notification screen, and select the option to MOUNT USB
After that just drag and drop the files music you want to carry on the phone
An even easier alternative
just put the music into a microSD card
then put the microSD card into the phone

Thanks for advice, apologies for my venting earlier just had enough of all the problems this phone throws at me.
Right best I can do is connect the phone to the PC via mass storage, my PC does now recognise the phone after finding the USB drivers finally.
I have drag and dropped music into the download folder of the phone, I've disconnected from USB and the music is on the phone so that's good.
Is this best I can do considering Kies doesn't recognize the phone?
I have hundreds of seperate MP3's that I'd like to make into specific playlists on the phone. Would I be able to do this via mass storage considering Kies doesn't work?
Finally, can someone recommend me a video playing app that plays MKV files if possible? If that's not possible just the best video player app in your opinion as the standard one on the phone kinda sucks.
Thanks in advance for your assistance

[REQUEST] usb mass storage application

Hello people, I find it very annoying that usb mass storage is dissabled on our phones and since i havent found any compatible application to enable usb mass storage on s3 mini i thought i should ask if there is any developer who wants-has the time to make one

Impossible
Because data and sdcard partition is same

Is it not the same as conect as camera ?

when connecting to pc - provided you've installed samsung drivers - your phone will be shown as connected device , and you can easily see all folders(sdcard,ext card...) and transfer files and do everyhting you want...

I guess he's talking about enabling the UMS protocol instead of MTP that our phone uses. There's an app made for our big brother called SGS3 Easy UMS but I don't know if it's working on our device...
Advantages of UMS on the MTP?
Way faster file trasnfer
The phone gets mounted as a real disk so you can do pretty anything on it
The UMS protocol is more secure because you have to go past your lock screen to mount
But on the other hand MTP comes in handy when you want to transfer files and use them at the same time on your mobile ^^

thats exactly what i was talking about, another huge advantage of ums is that it doesnt need samsung drivers installed to work.
lets say you go to a friend or to your work and you dont have internet, if the computer you want to use doesnt have samsung drivers installed you wont be able to do anything with your device, in the other hand if ums was enabled on our device the only thing you need is a micro usb cable to connect your phone to any pc you want...
im so dissapointed from samung for disabling ums protocol...
i really hope someone will sort it out with an app.
thanks in advance

searching for such an app, too

what happened with you @dariolob ??

I could really use such an app, I cant even connect my phone to the tv, both samsung devices and watch a video file that is on the phone.

[Q] How to play music via USB from my Z1?

There is my problem today
How can you plug the Z1 in USB on a sound system to play the music that is in the Z1?
What interests me more is to plug it into this ==> http://www.soundandvision.com/content/review-sharp-gx-m10-portable-cd-stereo-system
I haven't yet succeded, I either get the message "reading" continuously without any results, or if I change default USB mode to Drive mode, I get "Not supported", it is frustrating. Is there any solution to make it work?
I need to bring it out and unleash my beast.

Did u let it read for a while because if you have a lot of songs it can take a while my philips sound system took a while to read my USB stick so is probably the same with the boombox...think about it...it has to read all you pictures and whatever else u have and identify what they are...also look into the specs and see what type of disk format the boombox supports...if it's NTFS it won't work because the memory format used by android is FAT32...
Edit... just read another few things...make sure the phone is set to mass storage and not MTP and see if that works
Edit 2... the file format is not the problem try the above thing and see will that fix your problem

Hi, thank you for your answer! Sorry I come back late I did not have a moment for myself. I'll look at this and tell you in few moments if it works :good:

Need help

I own an Xperia Z. Apparetly the water proofing feature failed and after trying hard to salvage my phone I can connect it to pc and able to access the file inside. PC companion detects it too. The problem is screen is busted and i would like to try to access it through mirror apps BUT I realised that initialising is required. Any solution you guys have in mind?

If screen is still show something, use USB-OTG cable, its cheap(0.5-3 Euro) and connect to it normal mouse to move on screen
If screen is totally dead, connect MHL cable(5pin not 12pin that is for samsung), its cost from 4 euro to 10 Euro, connect it to tv via HDMI slot and it stream your phone screen to TV(also its better than wifi streaming because no lags and it charge phone, good for playing GTA ;] and you can use it with other phones )
Both cables you can buy in any shop that sell phones, tech stuff or just get in on ebay.
PS. Also you can backup ALL data from sd card and build in memory, especially "android" folder. Install the same apps on other phone, then open them, close apps, and replace those folders with your backups, you gonna get the same data like you had in xz.

alright then i think thats the best method after all thanks a bunch!!!! I have been looking up and found out that there is a way to put my phone on debugging mode without the need to touching the phone through command prompt. Any ideas about it?

Nope, I dont like messing with anything that require commands, debugging or terminal. Its funny because for most of my life I use linux xD
But Im a person who think that if we have GUI... we use GUI. because using terminal for simple tasks is like using dog instead of computer mouse... its just retarded... But it just my opinion ;]
So I think that if you have access to your files, just copy them to other phone with the same installed apps, and try to recover your data. Or try those cables... Maybe someone else would have better idea or know how to use this debugging for that... :/
