[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zanr Zij:
No USB Mass Storage on Galaxy S3. No USB Utilities like Galaxy S2. So file transfering a bit slow esp small file!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bradavon:
Thanks. That's a shame :(.

Does USB Debugging enable USB Mass Storage? I believe it does on Gingerbread. I've read reports it doesn't on ICS though.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scottymeuk:
It does not sadly.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Smoking Man:
Why there's no mass storage is beyond me. Hopefully a FW update (probably in early autumn) will fix it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scottymeuk:
I doubt it will come. It's not default in Android anymore.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bradavon:
Unfortunately not. Google moved from UMS to MTP with Honeycomb because UMS locks out the storage to the phone when it's plugged into a computer.

I've never heard of this being an actual problem for anyone. You've only got it plugged in for a set period of time.

There's much more on it here: http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/1...behind-galaxy-nexus-lack-of-usb-mass-storage/

problem with usb storage

Hi, I went to setting, more, USB utilities, this is where my problem starts.

My phone say, "USB is connected. Remove the cable." but my phone isn't connected to the cable!

Any suggestions on what to do?

Thanks

If you are having a rooted phone, there are StickMount from chainfire, Alt Mounter and SGS3 easy UMS that will allow you to connect the android in Mass Storage Mode.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michael_P:
Can someone post a link for SGS3 easy UMS because download keeps failing from site and Google didn't help.

[APP] [v1.1] Mount external microSD card as USB mass storage
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
Stick Mounter has nothing to do with UMS.

Alt Mounter requires a helper service on the computer and can only provide FTP access, no real mass storage.

Here's what you can run on the Terminal (the Helper app only runs the commands for you; easier to use)

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michael_P:
So has anyone actually tried SGS3 easy UMS? If it works will the host on my car stereo, tv etc recognise it and is there any system side effects I should know about.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
If you don't trust the app (the commands really work =D ), get 'Gscript lite' in Google Play and add the corresponding parts as 2 different scripts which you then put on your homescreen for easy access.

That will do exactly the same for you.

Whether it works with car hifi etc depends on your devices. A user 'Siran' reported that his car-stereo took some time to recognize it and the playback had hiccups, but at least the last issue could be attributed to the SDcard not being unmounted in the phone before mounting it on the computer.

Currently the app uses the 'old method' while my script correctly mounts/unmounts to prevent such issues.

The side effect is the same as always; that particular card is not mounted and available in the phone as long as it's mounted as mass-storage on external devices. However that should not be a real issue. No negative side effects are known or likely to exist.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scandiun:
Well, isn't possible then to use it simultaneously from the phone and the usb? What does this app stand for then?

Multi Mount SD-Card and MountUSB Widget
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
It is, check the "--- BELOW ..." lines in my link.

However it WILL cause data corruption and data loss and might even cause the SDcard's filesystem to be damaged beyond repair.

What you do is use the same filesystem in 2 distinct locations which individually write on it.

To understand how that causes an issue, you'll have to get a basic understanding of a filesystem; they actually work like a science book.

You have an index listing all directories and files aswell as their relation to each other and where on the SDcard the file is stored.

Now if a file is modified the index is changed and then the file added,changed or deleted.

So far, so wel.

If you now mount it on 2 locations (mind you: filesystems don't know about that, so each location thinks it is the sole one accessing it) and work from 2 locations on the same data you have a rather high chance that one operating system will eventually overwrite or alter data without the other one knowing about it.

If the index is too damaged you'll not only loose some files but potentially all filenames and folders. Applications like Recuva can recover most of the files (at least usually) but it won't be pretty, easy and complete.

Simply don't do it. There is a reason why noone implements it
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michael_P:
Just tried SGS3 easy UMS on my Tv and Dvd player through their host and worked fine with music, videos and images, and i'll check my car stereo tomorrow, so thanks d4fseeker.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nawat:
This is different. It's for mounting a USB flash drive on the phone.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scandiun:
You mean OTG (USB On the GO). I though it was for both OTG and MSC.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenkiller:
Last night, due to the wonders of MTP, it took me nearly 2 hours to transfer 2gb of data from my S2 over to the S3, with many popup interruptions delaying the transfer.

God I hate MTP's speed with many small files. :( But I guess it could be worse if they locked the filesystem down. :D
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scandiun:
Well, on the Galaxy S2, moving a 3 GB mkv takes about 10 minutes on MTP, so no complain. If you are moving a lot of files, I didn't check. Could be because MTP has high latency or access time, but I am not sure of this.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
MTP isn't much slower when transferring a single file since it will then use lightweight system functions to copy the streams.

However it's VERY slow to start a file transfer or directory listing due to how it works.

So transferring a 3GB video is FAR faster than transferring 3GB worth of 3MB mp3 files.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nawat:
If you're transferring a lot of tiny files, try zipping them on the phone first. I do this since the Galaxy Nexus using ES File Explorer. Choose the compression level to 'Store' and then transfer the zip. This helps a lot.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scandiun:
Well, that's equivalent to TAR format. Furthermore, this preserves permissions and directory structure, although permissions are irrelevant on FAT filesystems.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scandiun:
I've made a comparison in SGS2, copying a folder with mp3 and jpg files, and MTP is noticeable slower (takes about double time) and stops several times during transfer to ask for file conversion, for such files like txt that it presumes are not compatible.

I also had the problem that one music directory wasn't fully transferred, only some of the files. I guess that was because of wma or such. Sucks really.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr.Sid:
That 'ICS does not support it' is nonsense. First my SG2 ICS (T-mobile Czech) atualy has mass storage. Only it cannot be turned on through notification button. You have to go to settings/more/USB utilities. After that it works EXACTLY the same as it did with old system. Both internal and 'external' storages are unmounted from Android, and made accessible through mass storage. There is the same warning that some apps might not like it. The only difference is number of clicks to obtain the function.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michael_P:
Google has confirmed that ICS is capable of Mass storage so Samsung is to blame, and I just have this feeling they've been taking lessons from Apple and deliberately removed it to sell more phones. Now I know some people might think I'm a conspiracy nut but just think about it... They sell 16gb and delayed 32 & 64gb versions which can't move Apps to external memory, so that means instead of buying a memory card like other phones to transfer Apps they forced to consider upgrading to 32 or 64gb model like you have to do with iPhone, and whatever Phony excuse Samsung try to give that will be what happens and they potentially sell more phones unless you risk losing your warranty to Root and trick the phone to install on external.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slambox:
Hey guys.. came across this forum while googling why my new S3 wont work on my car stereo. Its pretty crap but i do understand why they used MTP over USM, but i would have rather got a S2 as USM was something i looked forward to moving from my god forsaken iP4 to an Android device, and not just any Android device.. Samsungs new flagship smartphone, with expandable storage :S

MichaelP, did your S3 work on your car stereo after you put easy UMS on it?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ninja Jaiden:
I really needed this device to support the mass storage feature, very disappointing that it doesn't.

Tried easy UMS to no avail :(

[Milestone 2 General] AragornPE:
Hey guys, just wanted to share this with you. I used to use a M2, until I dropped it accidentally on the toilet (it was clean =P) and I thought "Welp, this one is gone". Just for pure curiosity, I disassembled it a day after it got dropped, cleaned it up and reassembled, but no response. I disassembled again, put it on a plastic bag and forgot it on a shelf. Today I found it and decided to reassemble it. Guess what? It's working! Well, not entirely, the screen (and most likely) the digitizer is dead too, but it boots, makes sounds, vibrates, lights up keyboard keys and touch buttons. I'm buying a new screen for it and will post results if it comes back to life completely.

Wish me luck! =D

I bought the HTC one x because I got bored of my first Gen windows phone (I'll be back for windows phone 8).

I'm wondering if I can keep my windows phone around when I'm traveling for gaming, browser and possibly use it to make free data calls.

Skype is the only thing I found but obviously that costs money. And I'm fine with that but just wondering if it's possible thru another app.

Thanks
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ROCOAFZ:
You can if wifi or if you tether it. Just ignore the message about the SIM when it comes up.

Or get Tango.me
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sensboston:
You can save your money with Skype. Just join a Bing Rewards (if you eligible), and by spending 3-5 minutes daily, you can earn up to $6-8 (Skype credit rewards) weekly (of course, not with one but five (eligible) accounts).

I'll not share ways to automate earnings but you may google for that ;)

Never spent even penny for Skype, using up to 80 international minutes weekly :D
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alcoholic:
Been doing this since day one buddy. I know all about the bing rewards.

I spent about 200 points entering the lumia 900 contest and the rest (over 2000) went towards skype credit. ;)

I'm a gold member so the 10% off helps too!

I'm not doing it through anything automatic. I don't cheat the system when the system is good to me.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sensboston:
Hmm, if you already found this way, why do you saying "Skype is the only thing I found but obviously that costs money" and asking for another solution?

4 example, if you calling in US, each buck give you about 40 minutes. So weekly you can earn approx. $8 in Skype credits what gives you 320 minutes of the talk time (in US).
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alcoholic:
I don't know how you're cheating the system but I have to do multiple searches using Bing everyday. And I only have one account. So it's not $8 a week.

Also, I'd rather use my google voice number but f there are no other options then I'm fine with Skype.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sensboston:
Hey, did I've used word "cheating"?

I'm not a cheater; also I'm not so cheap to look for the "free calls" - it's absolutely fine for me to pay for my AT&T contract, with excellent voice and LTE (3 GB) data connection (actually 'cause I'm a developer, my apps paying for my family contract and much more but it's a different story).

What I'm saying, it's an absolutely fine to have a 5 Bing Rewards accounts per household (read the MS rules!); also if you want to simplify (and automate) steps to earn rewards - there are nothing about it at agreement and rules. Of course if you not smart enough to do that - it's your own problem...

You need to add the correct apn settings for your carrier under mobile network. Menu-settings-mobile network-access point names-menu add and then enter the settings then hit menu then save.

Just google your apn settings for your carrier or call and ask them for the proper settings, but google is quick and easy.
