As the title says, I have problem with my SGS GT-I9000 with transferring files to it.
Now, from beginning:
-my Pc: windows xp sp3
-my smartphone: SGS GT I9000
Onecosmics ICS port RC3.1 flashed with CWM 5
and with Pauls newest kernel ([Kernel]-GT-i9000_Galaxy_S-4.0.3.257134.zip) also flasheed through CWM
..I found few "bugs" in this port (no Facebook sync possibility, with contacts etc., compass seems to show incorrect position) but the main one and very fundamental is with mass storage mode. When I connect my phone to PC, it prompts me an option to connect my phone as mass storage like it did on Gingerbread 2.3.x ..when I successfully enable it, I can see through all folders and subfolders on my internal sd (16GB) and external sd (microSD 16GB) but when copy/paste for example some folder with a movie in it from my PC to either internal or external SD it shows me very slow download progress and a bit later on my PC error pops up, saying it can´t find specified folder or whatsoever and my phone freezes, so I have to hold power button for 8sec to restart it again.
What is interesting, when I boot my phone in CWM, and mount my SD to PC ..I can easily transfer files (eg. 4.6GB copied in 20min) ...for my external SD, I would have to take her out of my phone and place her into USB adapter to transfer files (and put it back in my phone again). This is very frustrating because I like this port very much, it´s fast and you get all the OC/UV LiveOC control, just perfect ..if I could only fix this.. If anyone can help I would be grateful.
Can anyone help?? please
..also, I found out that I can´t copy files in between internal and external sd card.
If I don´t solve this problem I´m afraid I´ll have to go back to Gingerbread until better and stable version comes out ..and I like ICS so much.

Thank you for your advice but I couldn´t wait and flashed back to gingerbread...until more similar (by some basic functions) version of ICS port comes out I´ll be on "old" GB ...
For example, I can watch movie (size 2.6GB) mkv, avi, mp4 ..where on ICS I can watch only mp4..
..and for mass storage I´ve read somewhere that even original Galaxy Nexus with ICS has some problems connecting with PC
Only thing I´m sorry now is because with ICS I could play FPS game with full graphics .. maybe I need to find some custom or stock (preferable) rom with kernel that supports LiveOC and use of NSTools .. ?

That's weird. I've been using my phone to watch movies a lot lately and it's been working great, subtitles and all (with bsplayer). My movies are .avi too. Gives an error doing it by hardware (think only diceplayer does this properly?) but it automatically changes for software rendering mode and works smoothly, no lags, nothing.
Using TeamICS RC3.1 with their own latest kernel and everything works as supposed to. Also, never had a problem copying from the internal to externalSD or the other way around... it is a bit slow, however, to do it from a computer with the usb cable (around 1mb/s) doesn't matter if it's to the internal or external, but i can live with that. I just remove and connect the card to the computer directly if i'm in a hurry.
However, if you're into GB again, i'd recommend you to try mintberry MIUI. Was the most complete rom i've ever used, used it for quite a while and have NOTHING bad to say about it, quite the opposite. And i use my phone A LOT.

I´ve read somewhere that you have to install galaxy nexus drivers on to your pc??
Is that correct? ..
damn, I don´t know what to do??
I WANT ICS but with this problem it´s hard to keep it on daily usage base...
if there is only a kernel (custom) that you can flash onto your stock gingerbread but that includes things like this:
-Voodoo sound
-Live OC, or at least OC/UV above 1.3GHz that is stable
..and I would be happy with GB.
Same here
I have the same problem, also with Onecosmics ICS port RC3.1.
Kernel 3.08-NEO-3.0-galaxys+telus-257114-g5c75537 (the default)
In my case, if I remove the external SD everything work fine, I can transfer files from mi PC to the internal SD (slow, but this is a Known bug). The problems come when I have the external SD (SanDisk 16Gb class 4) inside the phone.
When I mount the device in the Pc and try to access or copy anything in the internal or external SD it just freezes and I have to turn off the phone. It also freezes while unmounting the SD cards.
The external SD connected with a card reader works Ok in the PC and I can transfer and read files with no problem so I tried coping some pictures and when I placed back the SD card in the phone I could see the picture
copying files between internal and external sd also works fine in my device.
I though It might be that the external SD was broke but after I tried using it with a card reader and works OK I have no clue.
I think I'm going to try install a stock gingerbread and star all over again.

That is solved in RC4 (pulled one) ..but it had some other bugs..
I´ve flashed a couple hours ago Teamhackungs ICS build 15 with Devil kernel v.14.2 ...and so far it´s very good, OCed to 1.4GHz..didn´t found any problems that would bug me..except for sending text messages (I was unable to send SMS) ..and so I´ve instaled GoSMS from market and in settings I wrote customized SMSC number -->problem solved.
-no mass storage transfer files problem (its very fast) ..also you can have mounted external SD too..
-flash in browser works
-I´ve gave up from facebook on my device because it uses up to 60MB of RAM (that´s why I use it in browser)
I started from 0.
First i went back to the stock 2.3.6 version, both external and internal SD works perfect.
After that, i flashed to a new kernel "hardcore's kernel with the ClockworkMod Recovery" following the cyanogenmod wiki
With the CW I installed the RC 4.1.
After that, I still have the same problems. I realised that I have no problem listening music from the external SD or transferring files between internal and external SD with the phone, my problem is always mounting the phone in the PC that crashes after a couple of minutes, no mater if is in Windows, OS X or Linux.
I'm going to install now the RC 4.2 but apparently the SD problems were fixed with an older release so I don't know what else to try.
Hey guys.
I have a problem.
I am on this ROM: ICS StuNNeR - 1.4.26.1
Now when I mount the USB storage, it pops up on my computer but then the phone freezes and I cannot copy anything to the internal/external storage.
A reboot is required to get the phone back to normal.
However, sometimes the phone does not freeze in USB storage mode, but as soon as I try and copy something to the internal/external SD card, the copying process freezes and nothing gets copied over.
Does anyone know why this is happening?
I have done a clean install of ICS and it is properly rooted etc.
Regards.
OMG, I am on ics stunner and i have the same problem
I thought i was the only one with this problem.
looks like were on the same boat.
I hope someone has a solution to this.
Im not sure if this problem is related to ics stunner but i cannot seem to flash anything
The flashing process just freezes.
Any help would be appreshaited.
Hey.
I too thought I was the only one. I have used the search function within the Stunner thread and on google/XDA but I cannot find a solution.
I never had this problem on any other ROM and Stunner is my first ICS Rom... so it is definitely something to do with the Stunner Rom. Could be a small setting/tweak that has to be made.
Also CWM does not let you use USB storage in ICS so I cannot even copy files from my computer to the phone that way..
and I do not have a memory card converter... Micro to Full size SD so I cannot copy files that way either.
So right now I cannot copy the new Stunner ROM to flash
It is my first ICS rom too.
I had to use a sd card adapter to transfer files, but this is a long process.
Hi. I need to buy an adapter from Amazon UK...
No I have not tried flashing another ROM... Reason being that I cannot transfer files to my phone... though I will try using Dropbox..but thats long!
I like this ROM though...everything works and 2days + battery life.
hi guys, I'm experienced with android but new on this device. can someone help me to understand more about it?
I have a galaxy s plus, I flashed the cwm with odin and tried some custom roms...
now, I really don't understand how this device manage the memory, because it has an internal sd storage (or internal usb, doesn't matter you understood)...
I flashed the aokp rc1 based on m6, it runs pretty good but doesn't scan music and images, because they are on the sd...I think it scans just the internal usb memory...is there a way to scan media from external sd?
There is an app called Rescan media in the market give it a try

Hello y'all
I'm new here so please redirect me if a similar thread exists (Though I didn't find one)
I bricked my device the other time. I managed to fix it using patched PIT files. I lost 3GB and all of those stuff. My device works fine, no problem.
The problem I have encountered is that, if I flash CM9 or CM10 or any other AOSP based ROM, my 8GB eMMC (internal memory) shows as my external SD and the 32GB external SD doesn't show at all! I am not able to access any file on it normally. My music player, PDF reader, video player, etc are not able to show those files when I launch such applications. In order to access files, I have to use root explorer and navigate to /emmc, and select the file I wanna use before I can launch it. This is hectic.
However, on Touchwiz based ROMs, it works just fine.
Any help?
Thanks!

Is it possible to have a memory swap in our device? I do have a GT-i9305T flashed the latest sentinelROM 5.0 and tried all those memory swap (internal storage to external storage) that I've google but without a luck none of them is working and all I've searched were for s3 devices but still no luck. Anyone here already done this thing since I wanted to install many HD games as 16gb is not enough? Hope someone knew the answer as I badly need this one, been searching for a couple of hours now :-/. TIA
I use an app called "FolderMount" to move the files from an app to the external sd card. You only need root, I didn't use any memory swap mode. Try this app, it works fine on my s3 i9300 4.3 omega rom

great thank you for pointing it out, will note this one as I've already switch back to a stock rom just to try out @mattiadj memory swapping solution and it works great. Anyways thank you for taking your time answering my query as I've appreciated it a lot but still I'm open with any further solution with this problem if anyone knows. Thanks again
