[Q] Auto mount SD via USB - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just upgraded to JB 4.1.2 and notice that the phone will no longer automatically mount the sdcards in Windows 7 Explorer. I got used to simply connecting a USB cable and "GT-N7000" would appear in the list of drives in Explorer. Could this be someting to do with the ROM itself? The stock one for my phone is not available yet to compare.
Does anyone know of an app that will do this that works on this ROM? I've tried several but none of them seem to do what they claim.
I know I can use an apps such as MyPhoneExplorer (phone client) and PC app but this involves as many buttone and key presses as doing it natively on the phone.
Galaxy Note GT-N7000
Android version 4.1.2
Baseband N7000XXLS3 Ultimate JellyBean 4.1.2 v4
Kernel version 3.0.31-422420
Thanks in ad vance

I believe this is a bug with the leaked JB, ive seen several similar issues regarding charging / mounting / storage, Basically everything that requires USB.
I too suffer from this occasionally but im a ubuntu user.
Have you tried multi-mount - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rafoid.multimountsdcard.widget&hl=en
Thats the paid version ^^ there is a lite (free) version which does the job, It also has option for auto mount when usb is connected.

Thank you. Yes, I tried MultiMount but couldn't get it to work. Spent a fruitless hour fiddling around with it. Would have been happy to buy the paid app if it had.
Basically, all I'm looking for is to automate the "USB Connected/Turn on USB storage" function of JB when I plug in a USB cable. It works fine right now but too many things to swipe and click on to get there.

Do you use MTP or Mass Storage ? If you go to settings > more > usb utilities, It should have option to change.
If you use MTP it will will automatically mount when connected, With mass storage you must manually mount it.
Alternatively just quick search google for android auto mount
There's a ton of apps / tricks to do this, Not sure if they work on JB yet but worth a try, Ive never used anything like that so i cannot confirm which ones work and which dont.

[Q] HELP Getting Samsung Captivate to Mount...will not mount no matter what I do

Ok, I've had this phone for 2 months now. It's the 2.1 Eclair. It used to mount just fine, but now all it does is charge the phone when I attach the usb to the computer. I've eliminated the cord as the issue since my mom's captivate mounts just fine with it. I thought it was originally my computer, which is now Windows 7, but again my moms' captivate mounts just fine. It also won't mount to my other computer running XP. I've installed and uninstalled every samsung driver available but I still cant' get it mounted in either debugging mode or nondebugging mode. I also thought it might be a software issue since I had rooted the phone so I unrooted and did a hard reset. Still no mount! I want to get mounted, and not just by my wife!
At this point I would be happy to simply load apps via the sd card but I can't seem to successfully edit the settings.db file, either. Any help with mounting the phone or simply being able to load nonmarket apps via the sd card would be much appreciated.
Alternatively, here's a question to those much smarter than I. If I can't get the phone to mount via usb cable, how can you install a rom or nonmarket apps without attaching the usb cable?
Thanks!!
1. you can try to download a rom via wifi using internet browser. it will be stored in your \sdcard\download folder. also you need to download update.zip into your sdcard root folder.
2. shut down your phone and reboot into recovery, load the new recovery. (you may need to load twice)
3. flash the new rom by installing the zip file in your download folder.
sounds like it could be an driver prb i had same thing i belive went 2 samsung and got drivers reinstalled and phone mounted 2 pc with no troubles
I believe I found the issue.
Disable auto-sync.
Settings > Accounts and Sync > Deselect the auto-sync option.
My wifes phone had never been able to connect and mount via computer on the cable to the PC. Different PCs, different cables, everything. My phone always worked. First thing I ever did when reinstalling a new ROM was disable auto-sync. Soon as I disabled her auto-sync, the option to mount came right up.
Hope this helped.

*edit* I spoke too soon. Exchanging the phone tomorrow. It has other issues too...

Remove kies from phone

Hi.
I just upgraded my sisters custom 2.2 ROM to a custom 2.3.4 with the 2.3 samsung apps. For some reason, samsung have now replaced Androids USB Mounting tool with some kies MTP only mounting app thing.
We only use Gnu/Linux on our machines, the MTP protocol is not my most faverit thing, and applications like kies is not either.
Is there anyway to get the regular mounting tool back? Otherwise does anyone know what this app is called in the system app folder so that I can at least remove it, and install MultiMount from the marked instead, without having this kies app pup op every time a plug-in a usb cable?
Go to Settings > Wireless and networks > USB settings > And select 'Ask on Connection'
That will stop the kies MTP thingy when you attach the USB Cable
Tanks, that helped
Thanks!
Thank you! That advice helped me too. I thought I'd looked at every option there was in Wireless & Networks, but I missed the obvious one!
Kies was annoying me, thanks for the advice

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\

thanks bro , here version 2.5 will fix the bluescreen
Thanks a lot! useful for syncing with doubleTwist. can't stand the LG PC Suite its too slow.
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda premium
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.

[Q] HTC One Mass Storage Mode broken since 4.2.2?

This is giving me a major headache right now. I've plugged the phone into the computer via USB to transfer some files, like I do every now and then, but now I can't because it doesn't show up as a drive anymore, and on the phone, the options seem to have changed.
This used to work perfectly fine before. I can only narrow it down to the recent official OTA upgrade to Android 4.2.2. I need mass storage mode for a few things, e.g. my music player on Windows (Media Monkey) syncs with the phone, but now of course it won't recognize it anymore.
What is going on?
- Windows 7 64bit
- Android 4.2.2 stock official OTA un-rooted, un-everything, vanilla
- HTC Sense 5.0
Thanks guys.

It doesnt get mounted as a drive (and never did), it shows up as an MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) device. Open "Computer" on Windows and at the bottom it will show "MTP Devices", under that there will be your phone.
If it's not, then maybe you need to update HTC drivers, and check your "Device Manager" if the phone shows up correctly under "Android USB Device"
Thanks for the insight - you put me on the right track, and I got it to work now.
It showed up in the device manager, but with an error like you suggested. Unplugging the phone or switching USB debugging on and off hadn't helped (tried that a dozen times before I posted). When I checked the device manager, asking Windows to update the driver via web didn't work out either.
So I unplugged, rebooted both the phone and Windows, and plugged in again. After that, it installed some driver automatically - it worked this time, and now it works again as before. It shows in Explorer / xplorer2 / MediaMonkey as a portable device and I can use it like a drive and drag&drop files. That's what I meant by "drive", thanks for clearing that up ha.
Thank you!

[Q - Solved] File transfer problem between Razr i & WinXP

Hi,
So, I went and bought the Razr I phone, despite the language question was hard to me.
But anyway, now I have other hard issue: How to transfer files between the phone and a WinXp computer, when there is no "Mass storage" option in USB computer connection on the phone.
The "Media device (MTP)" mode seems not to work with XP, but "Camera (PTP)" works. But I can see only DCIM and Pictures folders from the computer.
I'm not sure, where they are even located: on the phones internal memory or on the memory card (there is 8gb micro-sd).
An interesting feature was, that when the phone was connected to Win7 pc in camera-mode, I could see the both memory spaces and all the folders.
Why can't I see the folders on XP? The phone is with the stock ROM (81.5.39001.XT890.Retail.en.GB / Android 4.0.4).
And why there is not "Mass storage"-option despite my old Defy with CM9 and the same Android 4.0.4 version had the option.
Edit. Solution - see post #8
For a long time I didn't use XP but I assume You need to install whole driver pack to see MTP on XP. I suggest to look for mod to enable Mass Storage Mode on Razr I. I saw this mod somewhere here but completely don't remember haw it was named.
I could find only one driver package from Motorola: Motorola Device Manager 2.4.5
But that didn't help. After connecting the phone with USB-cable, my pc recognizes the phone, but then requires a MTP driver.
Weird that no driver-CD did not come with the phone original package.

It is this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2297888. Works really good.
But if you are on 4.0.4 You can find on this forum mod of the framework with USB mass storage enabled.
But you have to be rooted.
Yes, the phone is on stock 4.0.4 version as I have owned it just few days.
The phone suggested an update (91.2.29001.en.GB), but I didn't update. I was happy with CM9 4.0.4 version in my Defy, and same version seems to run smoothly on Razr I too. And by the update, I would possibly loose the FM radio function.
Hopefully the mod on this forum is easily described, I'm a low-level rookie with customizing Android. However is was delightful to install CM9 to my Defy with good instructions on this forum.

Make a back up at first.
I've just found, that there are some MTP drivers for WinXP:
Media Transfer Protocol Porting Kit and then Windows Media Player 11 (which includes the driver)
Lets see if one of them work first. Otherwise I have to say goodbye to the phones warranty.
Edit. Case solved. I installed Media Player 11 and then selected Motorola USB Composite Device driver in WinXP device manager for the phone.
Now it works, despite not so simply as USB mass storage option did. I'll spare the warranty so far if something comes ahead.
Thanks for help.
Don't worry about warranty. In this days You can root without bootloader unlock and use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2297888. Yesterday I tried to download 7GB of movies from my RAZRi card by MTP and when I saw transfer speed around 1MB/s exactly the same as on WiFi I searched some and this is easiest working way for USB Mass Storage.
