[HTC One S] Xenoism:
I'm rather curious myself honestly ^^

I'm currently on a vibrant, but I have an upgrade coming in about another week and am

trying to determine what I ought to go with. I look forward to seeing what people's opinions are ^^
[HTC One S] k1llacanon:
Personal preference is stick with one s 4.8inch display is way too big
[HTC One S] ohsofly25:
I love the one s . But have been having issues with my connection even after the update . Also for me the battery goes quickly.

I also prefer to have a removable battery and ad card. This is my 2nd one s, and when I tried to get my pictures and music from dropbox it wasn't successful.

Do love the build quality and size though. So if you don't mind the 4.8 in s3 definitely get that.

I think ill be getting one myself :)
[HTC One S] jriv:
As much as I love the one s I would go with the gs3 I miss an sdcard slot I'm always full on this phone and the screen will be nicer

[HTC One S] Orical:
One S.
[HTC One S] DigitalMonk:
I came from a Vibrant as well. Samsung burnt me a little with the GPS on the Vibrant so I decided to try an HTC this time.

As far as GPS, the One S is rock solid. It has never taken more then about 10 seconds to lock and it stays locked.

I definitely prefer Sense over TouchWiz.

The lack of expandable SD and non-removable battery are not issues for me personally.

And lastly the GS III is just a little big for my tastes. One S is the perfect size for me. The GS III looks nice enough, just not for me this time around.

I'm very happy with my purchase.

[HTC One S] uoY_redruM:
I had a Galaxy Nexus (4.68" display?) so 4.8 shouldn't be bad. I thought the Galaxy Nexus felt AMAZING in hand.

I was looking at specs for the international GS3 and they pretty much matched up with the One S so I was just going to go with the One S but then I realized, duh, the US version is "much better" then the international.

The way I saw it, at least, is the GS3 pretty much has everything comparable to the One S (camera was going to be the selling point for me) but doubles the RAM, slightly larger screen, removable battery and SDcard slot.

If I'm going to pay the same price, on paper the GS3 is a better choice to make.
[HTC One S] Totòòò:
I got the one s after the one x and screen was awful. U get used after a week but hurts ur eyes if u read articles on ur phone. Then i got the sgsIII and screen is much better than the one s. Also everything else is better. The camera of the one s though is better at taking pics in low light. keep in mind that with the one s u have to deal with bootloader unlock and there is no s off as well. so long story short samsung is much more dev friendly. I forgot to mention that the tmobile sgs4 will have a 2gb ram:)
[HTC One S] tritran18518:
S3 : removable battery, sdcard slot, NFC, 720p Screen, 2GB ram,

1S: better design, high quality material

==> I'm using one s now but i'll get the S3 next week. give the 1s for my bro :D
[HTC One S] darren.wlsn1:
im new to gsm side of life so today im getting one S free then getting S3 21st and keeping one S or dropping it if tmo has 14day return policy like sprint.
[HTC One S] ickster:
I hesitate to post this. I don't want to bad mouth the One S. It is an unbelievable phone. However I'm having data reception issues. I am definately in a low signal area. Looks like this phone has issues with a low signal. The signal meter just jumps around crazily form no service to two bars.

This is my third in a month. 2nd one got the update and in my opinion it made it worse. and I thought I noticed a slight change in battery life for the worse, but I can't be sure.

I've learned that stressing on the signal meter, speedtest or other things is pointless. It's all about day to day performance. But the internet on the One S is consisitently an issue for me. First page loads fast usually but then long waits or can't find page/signal errors. Again, I have reception issues in my area here in N Texas.

Out of all the problems I had w/ the G2X this wasn't one. Nor on my Sensation or Evo.

But if you have a strong signal.....I can definately recommend this phone.Out and about it seems quicker.

It is the fastest Android I've had. Really fast performance.

Importantly the battery life is exponentially better. I've sold this already to a fellow xda-er. So I've reset it to stock and am using it minimally (mostly so I don't risk dropping it or damaging it before I send it out). I am currently at about 44 hours without charging it. It is at 75% right now! No lie! I've barely used it admittedly. But I could go through literally 3 batteries a day on some of my G2x's.

I am 100% getting the S3, but am not 100% happy about it. I don't like the size, slickness, I've had problems with Samsungs lack of Customer Service,and it looks like there may be a few bugs (to be expected?).

It has many plusses and I'm sure I'll like it but I like the form factor of the One s and I don't think the S3 will have as good a battery life.

But the data issue is a deal breaker for me w/ my bad area.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Mondingo:
I'm new to HTC. But can anyone tell me where in this phone do I look to find the files for the storage etc. My Galaxy note had an application that said My Files. Not sure where to look on the phone. Thanks for the help..
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mikel.canovas:
Download an app such as es file explorer, or any other on the play store
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Mondingo:
I take it then this phone does not have its own file manager.. I will use Astro file..
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] _MetalHead_:
Astro is good but ES has become the standard for good reason. I suggest you try it out.
[HTC One S] frdd:
The AOSP Messaging app looks awesome but seems unreliable on the One S, looking for if someone has it playing nice? SMS functionality is OK but sending and receiving MMS would be nice.

Please post here if MMS is working or not for you and include info like ROM version or stock, app version and useful tricks to get it working:-)

Also if someone has tips regarding what to filter for when running a logcat, my attempts at comparing logcats between successful MMS sending with HTC stock app and failed MMS sending with AOSP app resulted in a mental buffer overflow and me resorting to beers and Starcraft casts to clear the old brain...
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] whiskeybro:
Thanks :)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] cmd512:
Confirmed working, thanks!
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] beautyangel:
hard work, great result

nice touch buddy. thanks dude. +1 ;)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] makimo2989:
Dude, any way to reverse this? It screwed up my comp and phone... :)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Rah85:
Thx
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] BoneMo:
what happened to phone and computer ??
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] joemontana8:
Working perfectly here as well

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] SlimJ87D:
This sounds awesome. Does it increase transfer speeds?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] kultus:
unbelievable!!! It works...is it possible to see also internal storage as well? In explorer I get 2 new devices one is SD card and the second I cant access...
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] SlimJ87D:
How about your MicroSD card, does it mount that too?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] nEUTRon666:
Works perfect, thank you. If this only would be possible for the internal memory, too.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] InfoYANN:
+1000 % :)

Works perfect, thank you very much for this app.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] MariozPOC:
Wow!! Finally!!

That's working GREAT using Macs, also :-)

Thnks a lot
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] InfoYANN:
Yes, for MAC it's perfect ;)

Good Job...
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] BoneMo:
not working at all

i just see 2 empty drives.

tried on Windows 8 Consumer Preview with Kies

and on Windows 7 Professional without Kies but...still 2 empty removable drives...

even tried a phone reboot...:(

PS: Should I install some PC drivers ?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] gumpelstilzchen:
This does basically nothing to your computer, but just do a reboot to undo the changes on your phone.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] gumpelstilzchen:
Sorry, at least currently that's not possible. I don't know if that will change.

On of the drives is your external card. That's the only one that can be accessed. Theoretically it should be automatically mounted by windows, somehow this does not seem to work for you... I think you should not need additional drivers, but I'm also not sure what the root of the problem is.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] BoneMo:
it is strange when it does not work for 2 computers

also tried to write the command from http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=27282116&postcount=58 into shell but also not working

do not know....so because i have both removable drives empty...i will use my DropBox + DropSync, FTP and unmount sdcard put it into card reader and then after copying from PC i will mount it back to phone

PS: i am just sad ,,because it was a great hope for mass storage mode
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Big_Balls:
same for me:( only 2 empty drives on Win7 64
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Beatsleigher:
Well, thanks dude! :D Wenn ich's koennte, wuerde ich spenden ^^ (I just said something which is easily translatable with Google)

Got no money for it though :/

Anyways, seeming as you download attachement keeps returning a parsing error, you'll have to chheck that one out, I'll try the DB link, see if that works ;)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] gianfrancovialli10:
Working on Mac

Works perfectly on the Mac with stock Rom and Kernal. This app is the only option for easy file transfer.

You need to be rooted with Busybox installed.

Thanks to everyone who has worked on this app and for providing it for free.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] gumpelstilzchen:
v1.2beta2 informs about Busybox requirement and has a link to donate app (but it doesn't annoy you with it ;) )

Thanks to this I was able to format my 64 GB sdxc card to FAT 32 without having to buy an sd card reader. :victory:

I will worship you until the end.

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] aidan8181:
hey need some help with this, when i click on UMS mode i get a message "could not successfully unmount card; there is probably some app using it, aborted"

i tired unmounting the sd card manually and then using easy ums to mount the card but the card just shows up as a MTP device any ideas on how i could solve this issue??
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] shootertwist14:
worked on my s3, i'm on unofficial AOKP (b40), many thanks for this great app :)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] aidan8181:
are you using a normal micro sd or a SDHC card?? i have AOKP rom build 40 and can't get it to work??
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] seabhac:
I am using the Sprint version of the Samsung Galaxy S3 and I can mount MTP and unmount but -every time- I try to switch to UMS it fails and says it failed to recognize the external SD then in paranthesis says (busybox might not be installed?) so I installed busybox in several manners and have tried it multiple times.. my phone is rooted and no matter what I cannot get it to recognize the external SD to mount it as UMS... any ideas?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] gumpelstilzchen:
The app wants to unmount the card itself to prevent user errors. If it says the card is probably being accessed, just wait a minute and try again (repeat, if necessary :>)

It probably won't work on the sprint version anyway because it does not have an Exynos processor, but please execute the command in the second link of the original post and report the result. (use terminal emulator for that)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] seabhac:
Well I tried this command with busybox installed in both /bin and /xbin...but both times get a response of not rerecognizing the commands cut or grep

mount | grep /mnt/extSdCard | cut -f 1 -d " "

I know I have a differing version but I'm going to keep working on it because I hate this b.s. mtp protocol Samsung pulled out of their.....and any help that can be offered would be greatly appreciated.

SD Card formatting warning constantly pops up on reboot..

I need to know how to reverse this as well because now when I boot up I get the warning about formatting my SD card will delete all my data. How do I stop this warning. Please advise. Thx.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] da.trute:
cant seem to get this working properly on emega ROM, seemed ok with rooted stock. It mounts the sd card, the internet shows up but it doesnt mount.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] emmwee:
thank you

thank you very much. works nicely with Omega ROM 8.0, with Siyah kernel. Tested on linux (opensuse 12.1) and windows XP.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] d4fseeker:
Try using SiyahKernel.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] siliconaddict:
Works great with Omega ROM V8.0, with Siyah kernel. Tested on Windows 7.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mohmd.nagy:
downloaded it from CheckROM kitchen but it didn't work :(
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] gumpelstilzchen:
Using a early version of the app and not unmounting the card on your phone first may have led to this (or it is because your computer screwed up the filesystem, or because of something unrelated to the app). If you click on MTP, it resets the standard setting to MTP. There's nothing else changed by the app. If your filesystem is corrupt, I can only recommend to try to recover the data somehow and reformat the card (of course it is also possible that the card is defect, but if that's the case it definitely is not because of the app).

Firstly, I have no idea about that kitchen and what version it provides. It should be the most recent version that's available in this thread. Secondly, 'didn't work' is no useful problem description.

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] rondz:
I was wondering if anyone had this working successfully on their AT&T version of the Samsung Galaxy S III? I get an error that says "Could not get root privileges, external SD card is being accessed or other error (IOException)" when I select UMS Mode.

Edit: Found my problem, not rooted.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] legiong:
You freakin' LEGEND!

This is the second last piece of the puzzle with my SGS3 :D

Once I can mount the internal SD as a USB drive, my phone will be complete.

I first tried this with JRummy Apps Inc. BusyBox Installer and it didn't work.

This time round I used Stephen (Stericson) BusyBox and worked first try.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] jcylcruzin:
AT&T SGS3 stock won't work

I just got my AT&T SGS3 today and have it rooted via ODIN CWM method... Also have busybox installed.

But your app is not working and the error seems to think that busybox is missing?

Is it because my stock ICS might have UMS disabled?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] malshadows:
It worked on my SGS3 with unofficial AOKP milestone 6 and siyah kernel v1.3.8..
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] gumpelstilzchen:
That error should only show up when there is something wrong with your busybox installation, but to my knowledge even fixing that won't help much because the normal US versions have no Exynos processor :/

Regards
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] jcylcruzin:
So, i guess there is no hope at all? Or perhaps future versions of your app would allow for the lack of processor? Sorry, i have 0 programming skills whatsoever...
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] seabhac:
I really hope this app can be modded to work with the US versions. I ordered the Hdmi adapter in the mean time. I love this phone. I really hope some more mods come out soon to allow use of the games and apps this thing is capable of.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] gumpelstilzchen:
The necessary kernel module must be implemented into the kernel. There is a thread only about usb mass storage where d4fseeker has posted some good explanations.

Hi I've installed this and it says it has worked but when I plug it into my car stereo (it has usb function) it doesn't work as when I connect the phone it always automatically connects in media mode. How can I get it to connect in usb host?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] dazzzdelux:
pardon my stupidity , but can someone explain what this does ( what benefit it has over stock? )
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] angelofmusic:
MTP is not always the best solution...

Well, when you have your phone stock, you will only be able to use MTP to transfer files onto your phone.

Easy USM allows you to have USM (USB Mass Storage) capabilities to the external SD card. NOTE: There is no longer an "internal SD card" partition on the newer android phones. The storage memory has been combined with the app memory into one solid block of memory. This is great in a way since the system does not have to let go of memory (dismount it) in order to mount to your computer for file transfer. It's more stable now and allows you to install more than 2GB in apps. Games are getting ever bigger!

People have been upset that they can no longer plug in their phones and mount them as a functional storage drive without any 3rd party software (Kies Air, Android File Transfer, Airdroid to name a few). Even worse, Samsung decided to not enable the external SD card for UMS. This was system wide decision on their part.

SO, easy UMS allows what we should have, as it is. As long as a phone has the ability for a mountable drive, like a micro SD card slot, it will support UMS for the external SD card.

So even though we will not be able to have system wide UMS, we can still mount our micro SD cards with easy UMS.

Maybe it's the best of both worlds? Stable internal memory available to the whole system and 64 GB micro SD card that supports exFAT(can load up files over 4+ GB! Yay movies)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Dr_Death:
thanks for the great solution, work fine with me after install busybox :good:
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] d4fseeker:
For a further version, you may want to replace the 'an app is propably using it' with the correct name of the app and a button to kill that or those apps.

Detecting which app is the cause is rather trivial.

- Reading the list of open file handles on the external SD

sof -n -P | grep /extSdCard

The second column is the PID of the process. One process can be present several times so the app should filter that out.

From the PID we can gain access to the APP name

ps | grep {PID} | grep -v grep

The 5. column will include the name of the app, system command or library which is the reason.

We only need the apps which can be filtered by regular expression.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] jcylcruzin:
That means it is not a processor issue but a kernel issue right? assuming I can find a kernel that I like then it may still work for me?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] memeticpox:
It would be nice if the app told the user that it won't work on US versions of the S3. Spent half an hour tapping on the "UMS mode" button and getting told that it couldn't unmount the sdcard, because that's what the instructions say to do. Then, I find out that it only works on the non-US version. :(
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] ad_ek:
thank you so much for the detailed explanation.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Dark_Angel85:
This will definitely be a plus point on this phone...

Hi, an information.

I have inside my SGS3 a Franco Kernel.

Where I found the s3c-gadget kernel module ?

It's already inside the mod-kernel ?

It's different for each one kernel or it's the same for all mod-Kernels ?

sorry for my newbbie questions ...
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] laguillo:
Thanks for the great solution :good: :cyclops:
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] d4fseeker:
Agree, but if a kernel-developer spent some time with the required module I'm sure they would get it to work.

As already said, this relies on the kernel feature for the usb-gadget device "simulation".

Samsung has based it afaik on the following opens-source framework: http://www.linux-usb.org/gadget/

Yay even I got mentioned :D

It's compiled into the kernel or loaded at runtime. Afaik Franco kernel does not include it, Siyah on the other hand does.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] alexx910:
So, as far as I got your post in my mind, the whole space on sammy s3 is space to store apps and **** :D

So it would be possible to get your e.g. gameloft games on the external sd? my memory is getting full and I dont know what to do :P

peazz out :)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] d4fseeker:
Pleaaaaaaase use the search function.

There are 2 methods to do what you want:

- Swap internal with external storage location. This will obviously give you the ability most people crave; mount the internal storage on the computer, have a large storage. However it's slower.

- Use the app 'Directory Bind' to move the large files from the internal to the external sd card without requiring the app to support it (it's fully transparent)

Not working on T-Mobile GS3

Hi. I've attempted to use this on the T-Mobile USA SGH-T999, and I can get the SD Card to unmount from the phone using this app, but when I plug it into anything, it's still not recognized.

Is this only a T-Mobile ROM issue, or is it all US GS3's?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] bmwbasti:
Works perfectly here many thanks :)

One suggestion: Could you make a Widget for your app? This would make it even more perfect ;)

Kind regards

I don't know which event triggers Android includes, but even better would be to have, like on the old devices, an entry pop up in the notification bar which reads "Click to enable mass storage" when the device is connected to a computer.

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] UCI_MECH:
v1.3beta working with International SG3 (stock ROM and Siyah Kernel v1.3.8a)

Just a silly question. After I'm done, what should I do before disconnecting the phone?

1- Click safely remove from the computer

2- Click the middle button in Easy UMS "Mount Card"

3- Disconnect the USB cable

Are these steps in the right order?
