not working fully

Okay, so I successfully rooted the phone including the bootloader steps for Verizon, and installed busy box. Thats all good.

But Ive tried 2 different versions of SGS3 Easy UMS and its just not working all the way...what I get on my computer when it "works" after hitting the UMS button is a "E:" drive, and when I go into the drive, rather than seeing the directory structure on my external memory card which is in my phone, all I see are about 6 files made by verizon about 26MB...cant do anything with it.

SGS3 Easy says its mounting and unmounting the card fine, it even gives me the message that it "successful", but no drive pops up on my 'puter that I can browse my memory card.

any thoughts? anyone else same problem?

Verizon SCH-I535 Ver 4.1.2 - Tried SGS3 EZ v1.2beta2 and 1.8 - same results. Windows XP Pro with all current SP's

MTP mode thru SGS3 Easy doesnt work at all, but when I quite the application im able to connect the phone up and see internal and extenral drives in normal MTP mode thru windows.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] TheManiac:
Having the exact same problem :/ wonder there is a way to reset UMS settings on win 7 so it doesn't automatically set it as a CD drive? Help? Anyone?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Striatum_bdr:
I think that's because in the future less and less phones will have external sdcard, in particular Google phones are like iphone, without sdcard and non removable battery.

As android is designed now to run first on Google phones they don't care about ums for external card.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] AXYPB:
The Samsung Galaxy Victory (SPH-L300 "goghspr", Virgin Mobile variant) is only partially compatible. The app reports a successful mount, but in Windows 7, the external SD card is mounted as a read-only CD drive.

Added 300th Thanks ;)

Awesome app, really !

Version 1.8 tested on my Galaxy Note 2 (GT-N7100) with Kubuntu 13.04 and works fine. Really appreciated it cause MTP in Kubuntu is still quite buggy and unusable with Galaxy devices...

Thanks for your work !
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] biggdevon:
Is this working on android 4.1.1 on the Sprint gs3.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] HeliumX10:
Give it a try... Its super easy to use :)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] az-dave:
So after messing for several more hours, Im still stuck with this app saying that USM mode was successful, and only a Read-Only CD ROM drive appearing on my computer.

Once it does this I can browse that Drive and its got 6 verizon files in it, and after about 1 minute it resets itself and goes back into MTP mode.

Im thinking maybe a driver needed for XP to recognize it differently? Update: doing exact same thing in windows 7...

Anyone have any info on this? thanks

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Old faithful:
Great, and in the future cars will have non removable hoods as well.

The way I see it, it's simply an attempt to dumb the phones down so that users have even less control than they have now. Less control=captive market ripe for exploitation.

Really, are users THAT stupid?

Hi,

Any chance you'd make a working version for the Galaxy S4?

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Zaphord:
Is it the 64GB micro SD card ?

Could the use of a 64gb micro SD card the be reason? Is it formatted in another way?

When I format it with windows XP in FAT 32 my SIII could not use it and tolds me "not formatted", when I format it with my Galaxy SIII, windows XP could not recognize it.

I have a question:

We should: 1- run app, connect cable to pc (or other devices) then select UMS OR 2- run app, select UMS then connect cable?

Tested on Sprint SGS3, and after clearing all apps from memory it says that it is working, but nothing shows up on the computer. Just thought I should let you know

Using the latest version btw.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Old faithful:
It works either way... But by habit and to be safe I plug the device in, run UMS, do my stuff on the computer, Remount the SD card on the device, Safe disconnect on the computer and then actually unplug the device.

Hi guys, Just rooted my phone and installed this APP in hope of making my Galaxy S3 work with my JVC Excellon Radio!

Everything went fine, the APP works just fine I only have 2 problems tho:

1- When plugging the phone in "UMS" on my computer (Windows 7) It is recognized by a CD-ROM.

Though I can copy all my MP3s fine on the EXT Sd card, starting from a certain folder, all the folder cannot be opened on the Radio itself...

I can see all the folders, and can only open lets say, the first 10 folders fine and play the MP3s on my radio, but starting from the 11th folder, I cannot expand it on the radio...

I tried formatting the SDCARD, recopying the stuff, same thing happens, starting from the same folder, I cannot open it.

When plugging the phone on the computer in "UMS" mode, I see the card as a CDROM drive, and can play all my mp3s fine, but again, starting from the 11th folder, I cannot open it and get the "Windows cannot read the disc H:/" Error....

Anyone got any idea how to fix this? Why can I only make 10 folders work? :/

BTW, if the phone is in MTP, I can read all the files fine on the music player on my Galaxy S3...

No joy on CM10.0-d2att with SGH-I747. First, Gscript crashes when running the script, but running the script from the terminal completes absent of success in a PC seeing a UMS device, even after replacing the windows driver.

All I get is a Generic USB MTP device that Windows says is "not working."

And BTW EasyUMS does NOT work on SGH-i747 US/AT&T running CM10.0.

It would seem that this app is no longer being updated - although it still seems to work for many (myself included).

An alternative is here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mohammadag.samsungusbmassstorageenabler

which is getting some very recent success feedback on the Play Store (no word on CM10.1 though).

I have also seen somewhere that enabling ES File Explorer as FTP drive allows access to all areas (although a little slower) or you could try something like DriveS https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kr.plutos.driveslite&feature=also_installed

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Old faithful:
So do I, but the developer has stopped posting back in november of 2012 (hope nothing bad happened to him) and most developers insist it can't be done (not technically impossible, but you'd have to break basic Android file system integrity protection mechanisms).

There could be a way IF sdcard internal storage was actually partitioned away from the OS, as it used to be in previous versions of Android, but in our current security obsessed programming culture I fear it's unlikely to happen.

Another option would be to access the device from adb, before the file system is actually started on the device.

Hi guys..

I know that this app seems to be abandoned at the moment and that the developer is faraway from November, but I would like to ask for a question to users..

Easy UMS works good for me into my SGS3; I have only a little issue: when I unmount the SD card from my notebook, then I press the Mount button into the app, but it always report mounting failure, so I press MTP button..

Then I usually check the SD card and copied files with ES File Manager and they are fine, so I would like to know if is it normal the mounting failure and if I should skip this step!

Thanks a lot everybody..!! ;)

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Old faithful:
This is normal... I believe the app checks the condition too early and doesn't give it enough time... just ignore it...

Sent from my Note 2 - Text mostly by Google Voice, May Contain Weirdness ;)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Jumbodriver:
... but do the step. It really mounts the card and this has to be done. If you just hit MTP your card will not be mounted and thus not available.

[MENTION=1454767]Old faithful[/MENTION]: You were quicker :) and I also think the app is just checking the condition too early
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] brainvision:
thanks both of yu, guys..

I'll try later waiting a minute before pressing the Mount button; and even if it wil fails again I'll go on doing like that! ;)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Jumbodriver:
That will not prevent the message from showing, because its not you who has to wait, its the app. My guess (and I think old faithful thinks the same) is, that the app mounts the SD card and immediately checks the status. At this time your phone is still working on mounting the card. Thats why it gives the "unable..." warning.

So just hit Mount... disregard the message and wait a few seconds, then hit MTP.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Old faithful:
Agreed, just give it the time it needs to do it (5-10 seconds).

Just ignore the message at bottom saying "Could not mount card: [1]"... It checks it too quickly!

When you mount the card go check the messages in the status bar instead: it should say "SD Card safe to remove" then "Preparing SD card" then the SD card icon appears. When that icon disappears, the card is mounted agan and yo will be able to browse it (or have apps use it) as before.

If I knew how to code for Android, I'd do it because it would be a simple matter of adding a delay before starting the checking routine, and I'd do the same for the UMS mode as well and check to see whether it is actually mounted on the computer, that would be much more useful.

Of course it would be much more useful to make it transparent and seamless by implementing it in the kernel like it used to be for automatic mounting when connected to a PC, but I digress, as it is obvious to me that this is not a bug, but a deliberate 'feature' and all a matter of politics ;)

Hi. I really love your app because at the moment it is the only solution for me to access my ext sdcard when I am running my 2nd ROM.

I always have flight plane mode on over night and I always lose abour 2% in 7 hrs but everytime if I use the app the battery drain goes up and I lose 8%-14% in the same time.

Hello,

Yesterday I tried using the application in the new ROM leak, but the phone crashed.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Old faithful:
I've tried this application for the fun of it, it worked alright but I saw no advantage, it takes more space, so I uninstalled it.

Guess what... After rebooting I was unable to use sgs3 anymore, it came back with the same error message some of you guys get with this application: unable to find path and the only way I could make it work again was to reload a cwm backup.

Besides telling me that this app conflicts with SGS 3, it does seem to indicate that those who have problems with SGS 3 may well have a software issue rather than a hardware issue, so you may want to look into it and maybe install SGS3 right from the start, after flashing your ROM for example.

But I really wish Google would really rethink it's politically correct micromanagement bull s***. Removing this essential functionality was a dumbass, a*** retentive decision of the kind we have unfortunately become too familiar with from Microsoft. Google, please don't make the same mistake.

It is funny, EASY mount works for you and you try another one and are claiming the very very small amount of memory? I told many times, that I have a stock ROM from SAMSUNG, so no software issue from my installation but a problem with the paths used in EASY mount.

I am not the only one who has that issue, SG USB Mass Storage Enabler solved the problem and works perfect.

The developer of EASY mount has vanished. If you are able to read and understand what I wrote, this was a hint for the people who have stock ROM and got the error I mentioned. AND: when rebooting everything works fine, when rebooting in mass storage mode, phone is in Mass storage mode after rebbot. When reebooting in MTP mode, phone is in MTP mode after reboot.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Old faithful:
I really don't see why you have to get all huffing and puffing about it as if I had insulted you, especially not against the original developer who graciously gave us this solution, because he didn't update it.

I don't doubt the other app works fine for some and is a great alternative for those who can't get SGS3 to work for them. To each his own. I'm just saying be careful if you just want to try it out.
