Does anyone know why the SGN (or is it all android phones) do not multitask during file transfer to and from the PC?
I transfer many/large files to and from the external 64GB sandisk and would like to be able to use the phone during the file transfer - what is the problem - even the iphone can do this...

You connecting the phone through the MTP protocol or the USB mode?
In USB mode the apps and widgets that are on sd card will stop working and even can hang the phone as they stop responding to the system commands!
I connect my SGN via the USB cable to my PC so i can transfer files to the SGN. I have USB debugging off.
I have had no issues with copying files back and forth between my PC and SGN.
My un-answered question still stands: Why is there no multitasking during USB file transfer like on other smartphones?

Hello
i wanted to use the external sd card as an bootable device from where i could install various Windows Versions trough USB. The Problem is the activation of the USB Mode.
The BIOS doesn't recognize the Note as an USB-HDD-Device even when i have enabled USB-Mode while pausing the BIOS Post Screen (After going into BIOS Mode it won't be recongized also).
Is there something i could do by changing a setting, or could maybe a dev search for a way to auto enable usb mode (or enable it for a longer time, with an widget which is a switch? )

i thought you had to also have the boot files on the usb fore it to be bootable?
You need to make the Partition on the sd-card bootable, by making it "active" then copy the Windows DVD-files onto the SD-Card and voila you can boot the Windows 7 Setup through your usb stick.
For default Setups, this won't be a problem, but when you want to add more files into the windows 7 installation media the fat32 limitation will kill you...
and i haven't found a way, to make 2 partitions on my 32-GB SD Card...
(ps: i hate it, that the internal storage from the galaxy note is used as "sdcard" totally fu**d up my files through recovery partitioning...)
Got luck, my files are there. Anyway i hate it ^^
you can partition a sd card using any partitioning software
Hello. I'm using miui which I think is based off AOSP ICS.
The problem is when connected through usb, the storage drives don't show up on PC side. I've tried sd card mount app, but without success.
Please help me and tell me how I can get this done so I can move files back and through the usb cable.
THANK YOUUUUUUU
Use Droid Explorer.
Installed Droid Explorer for pc, and installed it with Android SDK, mounted sd cards using app, and managed to get droid explorer to recognize the sd cards.
But the interface is kinda of weird, and I can't copy over or make a new folder within droid explorer. The only thing I can do is copy over individual files, and then make a folder using my Phone's explorer then putting them into the folder.
Is this the only way to transfer files to my phone besides using wifi trasnfer or taking the external sd card out of the phone? isn't there a way to just get the pc to recognize the phone's sd card and just use the windows explorer? (is this due to the AOSP ROM?)

Is there any way to access SD Card from PC to copy files over not by using HTC Sync and similar software.
I just want to access to SD Card like to flash drive by connecting to PC via USB cable
Is it possible?
When I connect htc i can see only some kind of 16mb drive called HTC SYNC MANAGER with drivers on it (see attached image)
The device connected as MTP device but not like Mass Storage.
Fix
I went to Windows Explorer and find out that SD card is available from there(see attached image)
Until then I was using Total Commander but it is not supported MTP devices by default.
In order to fix that I downloaded MTP plugin from here http://www.ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?p=267753
Hope it will help for there who experienced same problem
When I connect my 4s (EU) to my PC, it detects the SD card (128GB Kingston or 64GB, both tried exFat and FAT32 formatted), but when opening the contents, it says there's nothing on it, while it has over 40 gb of data on it...!
What's going on? The card is up to spec!?!
The phone's own memory is shown correctly and I can access all maps. The SD card however is detected, but not accessible.
The only files I can see are the ones I copy from PC to phone's sd card over USB connection. But I want to copy photos and videos from phone to PC.....
I already tried uninstalling the Alcatel Idol 4s driver, and reconnected to get this phone mounted again, and the result is the same.
Anyone have this too? Fix?
PS: I've tried FAT32 formatting as well as ExFAT, both cases the PC detects the card, even tells me how much space is available, but shows NO contents and tells me the map is EMPTY!?!?!
Do you try usb debugging? Is ur phone locked when you connect it to pc?
