Usb mounting question

I tried searching, no dice. I tried asking in the tips and tricks thread, nobody answered, so I'll ask here. Is there a way to force the G1 into mass storage mode? I want to connect it to my car stereo via usb, but the radio won't detect it, so the G1 never gives me the option to mount. If I could force it into mass storage mode, I'm fairly sure it would connect. Is it a simple terminal command? All help is appreciated.

edit: sorry, misread post ><

I do this occasionally. What I found is that if I have "USB debugging" on in the phone settings the G1 doesn't detect the connection and give me the option to mount the sd card. If I turn it off, it immediately detects the connection.

I leave USB debugging off all the time. Anyone know how to force the SD card into mass storage mode like you could in RC28?

Dowload AnyCut from the market
create a new shortcut
activity
scroll down and pick SD card
the short cut should be on your desktop. I've tried this on my car stereo and couldn't get it to work. Let me know if you better luck

Yah my Pioneer FH-P8000BT hates my G1 USB no workie, just errors out after 20 seconds or so. Pioneer punted when I emailed them saying that they have no plans to update their support of devices with this head unit; bummer. At least receiving calls on it via BT works okay. Hoping with the full bluetooth stack to be released that the voicedialing app might actually revised to be worth a **** so that you can activate it via the stereo like my last phone. And also maybe contact transfer/sync might actually work for me
So close... so frustrating!
Would also love to see a solution to having the option to automount on USB connection, as per OP.

Did you uncheck the "USB DEBUGGING" in Development?

Sorry that doesn't work for you. Just for reference, the G1 recognizes and works with the usb port on the Dual XDM-6400BT just fine. The bluetooth works as well, but I assume all bluetooth capable decks will.

I have the G1 connected to my stereo but I use a converter that came with my diamond. Converts mini usb to stereo 3.5mm or 2.5mm headphone jack. That goes to the crossover which connects to the amp and I have my music without a head unit.
I stopped using the G1 and use my diamond because it comes with a equalizer which makes a noticable difference in sound between the two.

I have the Dual but the one that doesn't have the BT. The G1 picks up the connection and the unit even looks for music file but say "NO FILES". How did you get yours to work?

Yah, I've tried both ways; no difference unfortunately. Head unit shows "Format Read" for approx 20 seconds before giving me a "USB N/A" display and doing nothing.
Thus far I've heard of people having success with at least some Clarion and some Dual decks. I can't tell if the phone is to blame or the car stereo manufacturers... seems like obviously somebody isn't supporting the full USB Mass Storage spec properly, but hard to point the finger when the G1 works fine on my computer and the car stereo works fine with a USB thumbdrive. *shrug*

I didn't have to do anything special to get it to work, it just worked the first time I plugged it in. I can tell you some more about my setup. I'm using a 4GB sandisk sd card in the phone. My music is all mp3 and in the path \music\[album name]\*.mp3.

Cool. I have a Kingston 8gb class 4 but I have it partitioned to have my apps run on it. I wonder if that has anything to do with it. I'm gonna try it on a different sd card later see what happens
Thanks for the info

Just a quick update for anyone who happens upon this thread. I just upgraded to the 1.5 ION Cupcake version of Android and am happy to report that in conjunction with disabling USB debugging on the G1, my Pioneer FHP800BT / FHP8000BT is now able successfully mount my G1 as a USB device
On a semi-related note, Bluetooth stereo (basic back/next, no browsing or id3 support) and phonebook downloading also work now as well.
Now if only I could convince Google to bring back support for automatic USB mounting and bluetooth/gps toggling via Locale or some such, I'd be a *really* happy camper

Using usb port of car audio

Hi all,
I'm searching for the most ideal situating to play the music from my phone in my car.
My new idea was to use a car hifi system that has a USB port, the advantage of this is that I only have to connect 1 cable.
And when that's done, it automatically charges..
And I hope that the car player has good control for exporing the files on my SD card..
My question is, before ordering one, does it work good? Does someone have bad experience's with this?
Working slow, bad control of your audio files? Tips suggestions?

I had a car radio which had sd and usb input
if the device is set to usb storage mode then it should act
as a usbStick would and the radio would have
access to anything on the sdcard
it worked ok for me with normal sdcards but it was stolen before
i tried using it with my phone

The optimal setup is a bluetooth A2dp one, so that you never even need to take the phone out of your pocket. Use MS Voice Command, and you can even seek your tracks by voice.
As for USB, it won't work, unless you have a custom ROM with the HTC Mass Storage option.

are you sure mine comes with the option to work as mass storage under usb to pc in settings
but of cause haven't tried it with a car radio but it sure works as a usbstick in computers

First off al, in the standard roms, there is a option under connections, where you can switch from activesync to mass storage..
Bluethooth audio will be not as good as the original output of the phone, and, my most important thing, it won't charge..
But, i just orderd a very cheap radio with usb and a aux input..
( elta 7527 )
Will let you guys know when it's installed..

Yes, Xperia comes with Mass Storage option and many cabs available if your ROM doesn't have it.
I got a head unit with USB and as long as set as mass storage it's just like an SD card. For simplicity's sake after a while I got tired of hooking my phone up to the radio and just bought a 32gb usb stick for cheap at Office Max.

Wow, I guess I learned something new, I just figured the Mass Storage option wasn't there, as it doesn't pop up like in the Touch Flo 3D ROMS.
As far as Stereo BT audio quality. You are right, but you'd be hard pressed to be able to discern ANY difference in quality in a car, and I'd call it impossible to discern while actually driving.

Use full usb keyboard

Hey everyone..
I would really love to connect a full usbkeyboard to my Magic 32A..
But then i connect my logitech G15, nothing happens..
I think it because of the need of a HID driver.. But i am not sure..
Does anyone now where i can get a HID driver for android?
//Reffer

lol. No. Just no

LMAO. FAIL.

If I remember correctly, there's a lot of posts about this on the official SDK mailinglist/forum/whatever. If you google it I'm sure you'll find something.
And shoo to the last two posters!

Hey mockillo. Thx for posting a answer i actually could use to something..
The only post i could find on SDK was this one: http://groups.google.com/group/andr...hl=en&lnk=gst&q=usb+keyboard#7397813348f7a9fa
And they say that android not support BLuetooth HID.. But nothing about normal.. I think i will try to make a topic in there too..

That's not how USB works. If you want a full keyboard you'll have to get a bluetooth keyboard & wait for the bluetooth SDK to be released (maybe rooted users can use bluetooth keyboards already?)

USB host
does anyone know if Magic hardware supports USB host? If so, it would be possible with 2.1
Just check this out: _ttp://jkontherun.com/2010/02/17/how-to-add-a-usb-keyboard-to-an-android-phone/

appearently MAKE magazine did an article about it. I say it just might work. but you may want to talk to some devs to see how to get into usb OTG mode with a mytouch.

anyone tried this?

on my last check no dev is building with USB HOST built into there roms ( things can connect to phone) unlike the normal usb slave (your phone can connect to things ) , plus if you were to use your phone as a host it would need to power the connected device (ie. Keyboard)
some good news ...
Most roms built off of CM source have a bluetooth HID stack... So like me i use a bluetooth keyboard (logitech media board for ps3) and it works great. And drains the battery no more than a bluetooth head set.

same goes to me

haha. A funny guy... lol.....
You should find driver for that keyboard... I think...

Try v.mote this is exactly what you want... just the opposite (the phone become a keyboard..)

[Q] cannot connect to USB Honda car radio

Hi everyone,
I have a 2010 Honda Insight model with a USB compatible car radio.
I have owned other phones and the car radio supports iPhone 3G, Nexus One and an ordinary USB flash drive.
However a Samsung Galaxy S it does want to recognize. It says first USB LOAD and later UNSUPPORTED on the display.
I have tried several methods on the phone after USB is plugged in: click on home button after MTP connect screen appears, put USB in debug mode and choose to connect drive after USB dialog appears.
Does not work with and without external SD.
Is it the MTP background process that bothers the car radio?
Or it does not support drives which are partioned into several filesystems. The first filesystem is FAT32. But why the Nexus One is supported?
Any clues are very welcome!

not sure but this is my guess.
the MTP is not what the car is expecting. It expects a mass storage usb-drive. In settings you will find usb-options. There you can set it to be recognised as a mass storage device instead.
By some odd reason you also have to pull down the infoscreen and click usb, and then click mount

thanks for your help
in my phone i dont have settings to choose MTP vs MSC (mass storage device).
I did choose in info screen for mass storage device and I connected, but the car radio did not want to recognize.
How can I kill the mtp background process? What is the process name?

i have the same problem with my 2009 Civic Si
I tried all of the usb modes, with debugging on and off for each. still no luck.

insteads of USB, use bluetooth
for usb to work, you need to mount the drive, and make it run as a mass storage device

Is there any other solution for a car without Bluetooth?
I also have a Honda Civic with the USB audio and a Galaxy S Captivate phone. Every connect method I've tried so far fails. Has anyone gotten this to work? My car doesn't have Bluetooth.
Any help is appreciated. I am welcome to solutions that include rooting and loading a different ROM.

I have the same problem on Honda stereo... Is it possible to update the care stereo itself? Maybe someone could develope this into a ROM?

I a have a Samsung Vibrant and a 2010 Honda Civic LX. I used a "Dynex - Microphone Headset for Select Music Mobile Phones" Model: DX-MP3MA SKU: 9535327 (from Best Buy) and attached that to my phone. Then I attached a "Dynex 3' 3.5 mm stereo Audio Cable" Model: DX-MP353B SKU: 8915178 to the "Aux" input underneath the "Lighter". It worked PERFECTLY! It also works perfectly when attached to a Yamaha Home Theater System that was made to be compatible with iPhones/iPods. I used the input for "Portable." I hope this helps!
Obviously I attached both cables to one another.
In fact I am listening to Pandora (using Samsung Vibrant) connected to my Yamaha Home Theater right now and it sounds awesome.

If you buy the equipment from Best Buy, you can always return it.

promet, in theory that won't have the same audio quality as connecting the car stereo to the SGS via USB as a USB storage device.

this is a solution i got working on pretty much all types of car stereos

Unfortunately this did not work with my AVH-5200bt . It charged, but wouldn't mount!
Anyone have another possible solution? Pretty much the only use I have for my ipod is hooking it up to my stereo lol.

Hey all,
I've been having the same problem on my Samsung Galaxy II LTE (almost identical to the "Skyrocket" from AT&T) in my 2010 Honda Civic USB.
For what it's worth, I've managed to get it at least partially working.
I used "Multi Mount SD-Card" (you can find it in Android Market/Google Play, requires root unfortunately) and tried enabling only one SD card to be mounted at a time.
For whatever reason, it works fine if I only share the the internal storage, but not if I share my 32GB external card. Both music folders are identical, so I don't know if it has a problem with the card being used, the size of it, or if I need to low-level format it, etc (hence another round of troubleshooting next week).
So, I've sorta gotten it working, but not the way I want it to be working. I hope this helps someone.

Block permanently the bluetooth MAC address

Hello.
How to block permanently the MAC address for one bluetooth device on rooted phone with TASKER?

You are looking to make sure your device never connects to that device?
Android will only pair with a device if it's been manually paired with to start with. Just don't pair that device and it can not connect to your phone.

Androidauto automatically connects to bluetooth after plugging the usb cable. I want to block the bluetooth connection to the car permanently (block MAC address)

I don't use Android Auto. A quick search on Google help pages seems to suggest the same thing. Go into Bluetooth settings and "forget" the car.

This solution not working (android auto automatically connect phone with car radio when plugged usb)

Well, yes, that's how Android Auto works. If the car or at least the radio is Android Auto, then when you plug in the USB, Android Auto launches and streams media and navigation through the USB.
However, the phone should go over Bluetooth, so if you remove the car/head unit from the phone's Bluetooth ("forget it"), then calls should go to a headset or some other Bluetooth device.
Are you trying to avoid having AA launch at all when plugged in?

You are rooted.. just disable Bluetooth completely. No Bluetooth for Android Auto and for everything :laugh: .. kmm how to do it in tasker is the real question
I disabled Bluetooth on my 2nd phone (connected to Android Auto, constantly connected, I just leave it in car) and my main phone is connected via Bluetooth (for calling,music,etc).
That's just one solution.
second solution is cloning mac adresses (both phones have same mac). But it doesn't work on all HURs (restrictions).
Good luck

Hi. I am also looking for a solution to the bluetooth problem.
In my case, I cannot disable the bluetooth services, since I need the bluetooth to connect with the ABD2 Adapter.
Is there any other solution?
I have looked for information on how to change to put the same bluetooth MAC on both phones but cannot find it.
Could you help me?
Thank you

Go search in Android Auto section there you'll find multiple threads about 2 phones connections. Basically 2 phones have same MAC but in some HUR(radio media system) fails. So, there is no universal solution. It depends on your HUR.
Good luck.

Hi. I have searched several forums. In one of the threads, where the MAC change is discussed, they do not explain how to do it. Editing the EFS / Bluetooth / bt_addr file does not measure the mac address.
Changing the MAC is the only thing I couldn't prove yet.
You know how to change the mac I would be very grateful
Thank you

Omfg really?? ? https://forum.xda-developers.com/android-auto/android-auto-general/aa-phones-t3741671
Whats this link do? ? search is working I guess.
And you don't need to change MAC but you need to spoof it. Use (ed)xposed module to do so or you can try manualy ?.
Good luck.

Thank you very much, but for you to see that I use the search engine, the last one that wrote in that thread is me.
I tried exposed, but it was not trivial, since Edexposed and magisk gave me some problems. I tried some exposed modules but they failed. (of course I'm not the most expert).
I'm going to look for how to do it manually ...... I look for it with the term spoofing? some other search term?
Thanks for the patience and don't be mad !!!!
