[Q] Unable to see NC on Windows Explorer

My NC shows the 5GB internal space and the 2GB external SD.
When I plug the NC into my Windows 7 32-bit with the USB cable,
(1) Explorer does not show the two "drives",
(2) the Disk Management utility acknowledges the connection, but shows "no media" for the two drives, and
(3) suddently the NC shows 0GB for the internal memory and no SD card mounted...!
I've tried everything.
(a) erase and de-register the NC (back to factory),
(b) make sure the NC is not in sleep mode,
(c) reboot the NC and my computer several times,
(d) try 3 separate USB cables, including the charging cable,
(e) revert Windows 7 to a previous configuration... and so on.
I'm trying my trusted XDA forum for some advise before I go back to Barnes & Noble... probably to just return the darned thing...

The same thing happened here. Sometimes rebooting the nook helped. But sometimes it did not. I am wondering if my USB cable is bad...
I also had problem charging the device. The yellow light at the tip of the cable would glow, but it would not fast charge with the nookcolor adaptor.

I am having the same problem, but only since installing adb. I didn't bother with adb for the first few days but wanted to push a new Email.apk into /system/app and needed adb to do so.
I've also found that I need to uninstall the "Android Composite ADB Interface" under Android Phone in device manager in order for adb or Explorer to recognize it at all. When adb correctly recognizes my Nook, I can push files over using adb push, and I can ls using adb shell, but Explorer simply shows two removable disks (G: and H: ), which correspond to my /media and my SD card from before. I can't do anything with these removable disks though.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry for the bump, but just wondering if anyone has any help for this problem?

i think that it may be a bad cable. i took my nook to the local bn store and have cs agent tested my cable. it was bad. got a new cable and my nook now can charge and sideload.

[Q] Optimus 2x on mac os X

I recently got the new LG Optimus 2X and im having some real headache over it..
The thing is that it refuses to mount its sdcard on my macbook (10.6.6).
I tryed pretty much everything short of injecting valium, but it simply will not comply.
So could anyone please help me before my hair turns gray and falls off?
It pops up on win xp, both on a pc and in a vmware xp system on the mac, so i assume that its not using the default mass storage system anymore, some google searches hints that its using a semi-proprietary system similar to some mp3- and media-players.
So far ive been using my old phone as SD card adapter, and i also have a wifi network (rarely used, using mobile internet on a usb dongle) for ftp transfers.
But that aint enough, i need to be able to transfer audio/video files aswell as games/apps and backups to/from my phone in a easier fasion than adb push or ftp.
i really like the phone but im concidering returning it and buy a mac compatible phone instead.. but there are no other tegra phones available atm...

Does it use MTP? If so, check out http://www.wentnet.com/projects/xnjb/

I have a Tegra powered tablet (Advent Vega) and my MacBook Pro sees the sd card when mounted no problem.
You could also look at a program called Syncmate. Mac client and free Android version

XNJB is a no-go.. Will not detect a device.
Googlesearch mac with optimus x2 only reveals mac address related links or sites containing the words in different topic lists.

syncmate is a internet-solution, nothing gets synced locally..
And that is simply not an option when i want to transfer +1gb files (at the best of times i reach about 150k/s, usually around 10-30k/s)

Seems to work fine on my MacBook Pro.. no problem at all!

I have some trouble with the phone not detecting the second SD card, solution for me was to uncheck "USB Debugging" while it was plugged in.
Or
Plugout
Disable USB-Debugging
Plug in
Dangerous one: (This might damage current content on your SD-Card, i take no responsability)
While Phone is live
Plug out the SD
Phone goes belly up about it
Says it might be damaged and needs to be reformated
let the phone reformat the SD-Card
Plug the phone back in the Mac
Poof SDcard once again viewable
^^ Above is not recommended, and i can not explain why it worked. also i do not know if it might damage other components of the phone. But mine looks to be just fine and the SD-Card is performing as intended.
Why it is so hard for the Computers to see the external SD is a good Question, i have had the same issues with my windows 7 PC .. USB debugging seemed to be the fix initially.

On the Optimus 2X you need to activate yourself the USB Mass Storage mode, Go on Applications -> Settings -> SD Card & Phone Storage -> Mass storage only

Desmopro, i already tryed that.
The mass storage setting disables the adb debug tho.
My computer can see the device in system profiler, a hardware list,
And adb devices lists it aswell, but disk utility can't see any connected storage,
mounted or otherwise.

What version of OSX you use ?
In terminal, can you see the device (on /dev) ?
Think to reinstall a combo update, to clean up your system
If you use 10.7 beta and you are a developper or a beta tester, send a report to Apple
If you use 10.7 beta found on bittorrent, downgrade to 10.6
The Optimus 2X dont use MTP but the old mass storage method, so there is normally no problem to use OSX with

Im using 10.6.6.
Its strange, my htc hero mounts just fine, without any hazzle or inconvenience, but the optimus will not show..
I finally did find the issue tho, as soon as i eject the external sd-card (remove it physically), the internal storage pops up without a hickup.
But as soon as i insert the sd card, the mounted card stops responding, folders wont refresh, file copy stops and the only option is to eject the media from finder.
So regardless of what i try, i cannot get the external card mounted on my mac, even tho it works fine on pc.
..ive been using my sd card from my hero from the moment i got the phone..

Question re: Bootable CM7 card - can I drag a data file onto Micro-SD card?

I got a NC up and running CM7 of Micro SD card - followed the directions on the Mega thread to get er done.
Everything's worked great so far - using Amazon app store. But I wanted to try out a pdf reader - and my PC won't recognize my device via USB cable. So I pulled out formatted card - and saw it was mostly empty - so I dragged and dropped a .pdf document onto the MicroSD via card reader.
Logged onto my NC to grab a pdf reader to see if the file transferred - and now my Amazon App store says there are no apps compatible with my device. Everything I have on there - works fine - I just can't add any new Apps via Amazon. Is that because I clicked and dragged. I even deleted .pdf file and Amazon app store still isn't working. Perhaps Amazon is just having a technical glitch - I can always double check tomorrow a.m.
I can always start over - as I'm a greenhorn - but figured I'd try and learn something in the process...
* So - did I do a ( no-no ) with my drag and drop data file onto uSD card.
* What's the best way to transfer files from PC to NC device. I'm thinking of trying bluetooth next - if that's a good route - or is there a better way to do it < as I'd have to get a BT dongle to test out that >

If you followed verygreen's SD card install of CM7, you should be able to simply plug the NC into your computer via the stock USB cable. For me when I did this last night I saw two removable drive devices show up on the computer immediately.
Once connected, open your notification bar and say yes to enable USB mode. After you've done this, give it a minute and the removable drives on the computer should refresh and have actual names like MyNookColor and CM7 SDCard. Try opening them up.
I used the CM7 SDCard drive and went into the downloads folder and created subdirectories for music, videos, etc. You should now be able to drag n drop PDFs from the computer to the drive. When you're all done, very important... Right-click on both devices and eject the drive. After you've ejected, do safely remove, but do NOT disconnect the cable yet. After Windows says it's safe, I went back to the NC and turned off USB mode, THEN I disconnected the cable.
That worked for me last night, I hope it works for you.
Good luck!

Awesome,
Worked like a charm,
Thanks

Transfer Files From Mac to ATT Tab

Hey guys, sorry again if this has been asked before,
How do I transfer a file from my Mac to the ATT Tab?
There seems to be no USB option on the Tab and the Tab wont mount on my desktop.
Kies don't support Mac file transfer.
Thanks

I use WiFi File Explorer PRO. Seems to be much faster than USB and it should work on your mac.

or use airdroid.
i forgot how to use usb when i used airdroid.

Honeycomb, on this tablet, doesn't use USB mass storage because there is no SD card. It uses MTP storage. It is functional but has some issues. Just use the USB charging cable from your charger and connect the tablet to the computer. make sure usb debugging is turn off unless you want to attempt to use abd to push the files.
You can get wifi file explorer, a free app that will attempt to connect the tablet to the computer via wifi.
Another option is a file sharing service like dropbox or sugarsync
http://db.tt/1v0BC1VS
these let you upload files to a cloud server. Then install them to any device with internet access. The starting point is 2GB but you can't expand that. If you want to go the route of dropbox, that link will give us both a little extra space

Thanks, I found that WiFi Pro app and it works fine.
I also just bought the G-Tab 7.7 so will be returning the 8.9 anyway.

How to get my Note9's Internal storage as USB flash disk in windows?

When I connect my note9 to my laptop (windows 10) it automatically gets mounted as Galaxy device. When I enter to Galaxy, it shows 128 Internal storage as flash disk and show all files and folders in it. But copy/paste data (image and others) to/from this location which laptop is extremely slow. 28GB data shows several hours to complete and sometimes it doesn't completed successfully.
I used to get handsets storage directly as flash storage to the windows in my older devices (xperia, oneplus etc.) and data transfer rate was awesome. Now in my Note9, is there any option to get the Internal storage directly as flash disk in windows so that data transfer is as it is flash disk/pendrive.

Are you using the cable your phone came with or a cheap aftermarket cable? Maybe just try another cable. When I plug my phone into my computer (Windows 10), it comes up as Note9 on Windows Explorer, and under that are two folders, one for internal storage and the other for my MicroSD card.
Secondly, do you have a case on your phone? What kind? Reason I'm asking, is because I have a ZeroLemon case, which when you put it on, plugs into the USB Type-C port. Therefore when I plug my phone into my computer, it goes through the case before it goes to the phone. In otherwords, the case may bottleneck (slow down) the transfer speed. I do know that DEX does not work with my case, which makes me think that it also negatively affects transfer speeds, as well.
One other option for file transfer that I've found is to set your phone up as an FTP server, which is actually easier than what you may think. I use an app called File Manager (this one). Basically, you would use this File Manager app to "Start" the FTP server, and then on your computer, you navigate to your phone's FTP Address using Windows Explorer. Once you start the FTP server option, it tells you what URL to visit on your computer, and once you do, you'll see your internal storage. You must be on the same Home Wi-Fi for this to work. Unfortunately, I haven't seen a way to Read/Copy To/From a MicroSD card using this method, as the FTP seems to only let you access your Internal Storage. Just be advised, and I haven't taken the time to confirm this, but if you start your FTP on your own home Network, I suppose it could be visible to any device on your network.

I am also interested in this issue and I want my note9 to be defined as a memory card, as it is VERY CONVENIENT !! JOSHSKORN is
dibil because he did not give the right answer !! please, help!
