MTP and Onecosmic

Hello,
Since Massstorage is default in Onecosmic's ICS RC1 build
Can anyone please tell me how do i re enable MTP mode in onecosmics RC1 build??
Mass Storage is disabled in the office

i'd like to know that too

Found the answer myself.
If MTP is enabled you have to use
Code:
setprop persist.sys.usb.config mass_storage,adb
to activate mass storage.
And from switching back from Mass Storage to MTP use this in terminal emulator and reboot
Code:
setprop persist.sys.usb.config mtp

Removable Disk vs Galaxy Note when connecting to PC

When conecting my Note to a Winows PC via USB, on some computers I get 2 Removable Disks (i.e. E: & F, and in which to enable these drives to be viewed, I have to go to the alert screen on my Note and select enable USB.
Other times when connecting the Note to a PC, I get a Samsung Note listed un My Computer, and in that case I can just click on it and it will allow me to view contents of Note without having to enable it via the phone.
Any idea why this is?
Thanks

do you have usb debugging enabled?

The first Option called Mass Storage (Faster file transfer)
And the second one called MTP (Media Transfer Protocol).

Aha...
When I have USB Debgging on I get the the Mass Storage (phone shows up as removable disk) and when I have USB Debugging off I get the MTP (phone shows as GT-N7000)....
Thanks to you both!

Was searching for the same..glad you have posted...thanks guys!!!

Advantage of MTP is, while trying to copy some media files it ll ask you to "convert and copy". so that Note can play that media file.

To add to it!! MTP mode is slower than usb mode and while on MTP mode u can access the card on phone and computer simultaneously!!

This is not the case for me
I have USB Debgging enabled, since I use adb for some stuff, however, usb will always be in MTP mode!
i disabled USB Debgging and tried it then enabled it again but it is always in MTP.
does anyone know why?
i am using rooted stock rom.

Bub,
Before you connect the cable open settings> wireless and network > usb utility > connect usb storage then it will ask you to connect the cable. Connect the cable and it should mount the phone as usb storage...
Hit thanks if it helped
Peave out!!

"wireless and network" OMG, i remember seeing the usb setting somewhere then i looked all over but of course not inside "wireless and network" !! why here, should be under storage or something more related...
anyway, thanks for the help

I think i have similar problem here. The only thing is that i could not connect to Samsung Kies. When I try to troubleshot it, connection error occurs.
What would I possibly do about it?

UMS Mode for ExternalSD Card Jelly Bean Support

here simple application that will enabled UMS mode for External sdcard
root needed.
how to use:
safe way on version 2.5 is :
enable UMS Mode when cable usb is unplug
Back to Charge mode when cable usb is unplug
safe way on version 3.0 is :
do it on condition usb plugged
note:
if you plug into player or some device player , and you found that it cannot found the USB drive
in this case just do this
settings -> connectivity -> usb connection type
and do press or repress the "Charge Only"
in version 3.0 you will notice 1 triangle on task bar, its normal , it telling you mass storage is currently unmount
2 icon on task bar is telling you the mass storage successful unmount you can take it out
those of notice are normal if we do unmount the mass storage in android api level.
all the information about how to do it i found on XDA forum.
i do some research also code this app
version 2.1
fix sometime fail to mount back to external_sd folder
version 2.5
fix sometime got to bluescreen on windows
version 3.0
fix bluescreen on windows
using different approach to unmount the external SD card
version 3.2
bring back native method to mount and unmount, its speed up abit when using native method
by check the box to enable native mode
version 3.3
support Jelly Bean
thanks are goes to XDA Members
UMS_mode.apk
UMS_MODEv2.1.apk

UMS_ModeV3.3.apk

its working good tnx mate

Thanks for app. It is amazing
Best regards,

It does not mount back SDcard to /mnt/sdcard/external_sd after disconnect, so have to reboot after use it.
MTP is working but external_sd is empty.

@m0b :

With the first version I have access to the card. After disconnecting I have to reboot the phone, so I can regain access to the card.

Version 2.1 gives reproducible blue screens with Win7 x64 SP1 at the first link when I confirm the superuser, or in further tries, when connect the USB cable.
Only uninstalling the apk helps to solve the problem.

A little off topic:
After UMS_mode.apk does not work for me, here is another way to access both memory cards in the P880 (and any other Android-Device) from Windows OS:
Install Total Commander (Shareware): http://www.ghisler.com
Install Total Commander Plugin "Android ADB" (Freeware): http://www.totalcmd.net/plugring/android_adb.html
Android device driver has to be installed too!
Through links, both SD-Cards appear with 3 differen pathes in the P880 operating system.
The external SD-Card has its mount point in (!) the internal SD-card:
Code:
Internal SD-Card:
\\\ADB\LG-P880\data\media\
\\\ADB\LG-P880\mnt\sdcard\
\\\ADB\LG-P880\sdcard\
2. external SD-Card:
\\\ADB\LG-P880\data\media\external_sd\
\\\ADB\LG-P880\mnt\sdcard\external_sd\
\\\ADB\LG-P880\sdcard\external_sd\

version 3.0 relase fix bluescreen again,
if you suffer on always media scanning you can turn it off on
setting -> application -> find "Media Storage" -> disable

Wow!
This is the greatest thing created for this phone so far.
MTP is painfully slow, doesn't work with cars/stereos/etc, requires installing drivers everywhere I go, crashes all the time, doesn't allow access with a file path, and somehow caused my sd card to wipe itself three times in two weeks, so this was a major issue for me that was making me regret buying the phone.
Initially after installing this app (v3.0), I had to repeatedly toggle UMS/MTP mode and plug/unplug my phone from the computer several times before it finally started working, but now it's perfect.
If you have a paypal or flattr link, and I'll send something your way. Or put it on the Play Store so I can buy it and update
Thanks!

thanks

I can not confirm unfortunately.
I wanted to give the app still a second chance and have installed 3.0.
Then I restarted the phone, without starting the APP before.
Now it hangs on startup LG boot logo.
Even without the second SD card the same problem.
Any idea without factory reset or flashing KDZ?

My phone is still stuck in boot, but I have an access via adb shell to system.
Unfortunately I have no permission to access "/data"
Could anyone tell me the aplication name of this UMS-Tool under "/data/data" ?
I only found "com.noshufou.android.su" in classes.dex, but don't know wether this is right:
Code:
[email protected]:/data $ run-as com.noshufou.android.su
run-as com.noshufou.android.su
run-as: Package 'com.noshufou.android.su' is unknown
[email protected]:/data $

Ok, I guess it's not quite working perfectly for me now that I've used it a bit more, but I still love it.
1) it's really tricky to get it working initially. I almost always have to toggle it multiple times and sometimes reconnect the usb cable.
2) like someone else mentioned, it never remounts the SD card so I have to restart the phone to get it working again after I'm done.
I have not had any problems on boot like BudCord.
I'm running stock firmware 10f.

Anyone have v3 hosted any where else? I can't download from media fire.. no captcha support..
Tried stock browser, dolphin, and chrome..

Any chance to get it working on mac os x (10.6.8) ?
For the moment it is the only default i found with this phone : the lack of "connections" with Apple's OS :/
PS : I searched on the web and I found a solution for Mac OS X users : Android File Transfer (on the official website).
Sorry I can not the url because I am new on this forum.

USB UMS on JB ROMs

Hi,
Perhaps this subject was already discussed before but I can't find the right info:
Does anyone know how to change the USB mode to UMS instead of MTP on Jelly bean?
Why this mode is not enabled by default?
Thanks.

Bump!

i re-posted this workaround about 3 times in last 2 days
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36987841&postcount=335

Thanks, Sorry to be a noob but I was looking for this info but unable to find it.
You mean I have to type this line within terminal to set my usb as UMS:
Code:
su
setprop persist.sys.usb.config mass_storage,adb
And rebooting afterwards?
I never used terminal in android.

yes... you just open the app "Terminal Emulator" (if you don't have it, install it from market - but afaik - it comes with cm10/10.1 roms)
just type "su" (to enable SuperUser permissions), click enter for the next line - type the next line from my post and hit enter (watch for spaces and underscores)
exit terminal emulator and reboot...
now when you connect your phone via usb cable you should automatically have an option to "turn on usb storage"...

Many thanks for the tip.

MassStorage

So I recently installed ubuntu 12.10 and I want to connect the o2x with the computer but it is only chargin....how can I have Mass Storage like in windows?

What rom? It's difficult to help without any info

It should work out of the box, unless you have JB ROM. In that case, follow this:

Check if you dont have Fast Charge ON. Fast Charge have to be turned OFF.

I have Mivv's Unofficial CM10.1 Build beta 7 and Kowalski Kernel. I have PSP Fast CHarge turned off

I've got the app but when I'm mounting my device I get an error in terminal that permision denied and unable to initialize device

MTP or Mass Storage
1. First you need to be sure that the USB Fast Charge is switched off ( if you're using Kowalski Kernel ).
2. If you connecting using MTP, you will need some tools. Use gMTP. Either you can mount your MTP device as directory using mtpfs. Follow this instruction: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2055563
3. If you want to connect using UMS (USB Mass Storage), you need to switch it in Settings->Storage->USB computer connection (context menu)->Mass Storage. Or just select this method in stock firmware dialog. Then you need to reconnect your device and select usb storage in status bar.
4. If you have problem with all these methods, you can use ADB (Android Debug Bridge) to manage your files. Just enable USB Debugging mode in Settings->Developers options(switch it on)->Android debugging. Then install android sdk tools in your system.
Follow this instruction. http://www.xda-developers.com/android/installing-adb-on-ubuntu-the-easy-way/. Then use adb pop and adb push commands to manage with your content.
5. If you have problem with all of this method, you can use AirDroid application and manage your files wirelessly using Wi-Fi.

Have a good luck, mate!

I just needed to enable USB debuging. I enabled it and it solved all the problem

Hi,
I'm using CM 7.2 and I can't access any mass storage - phone > PC USB connection at all. Any ideas?
