[Q] Trouble mounting Nexus S to browse memory - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Guys,
I am having trouble mounting the Nexus S built in memory. I enabled USB Debugging but when I plug in the phone I don't get the request to mount I used to have on my Nexus One.
Any ideas? I am sure it's something silly I've missed.
Thanks!

Have you tried a reformat of the "sd"? One of the reviews I saw said that it was treated like a SD card on any other Android phone. I don't think there are any special instructions on mounting it.

Jealous!!!

I just tried formatting the memory and the "preparing storage" message flashed on the status bar. I then unplugged and plugged the phone back and I finally got the message to enable file transfer.
I don't know if this was caused by the format or if it would have happened by power cycling the phone after enabling USB Debugging, but thanks either way!

Have you pulled down the notification bar to see if there is a note there about usb? (besides debugging)

There wasn't at first, but between enabling USB Debugging, formatting and unplugging/plugging back it appeared.

Well that's good to hear.
now how is it? (the phone I mean)

*mouth agape*

Hey Chengis, hope you're enjoying the phone
Can you do me a favor and check if brazilian Portuguese is included as a system language? Thanks

Don't be my friend... it just seems like a Galaxy S on steroids. If it weren't for the bigger screen I'd probably keep using my trusty NexusOne.
The non-expandable memory is a step backwards, I'd like to meet the people that made this decision when the phone was being designed. I just don't understand.

Hey Nicholas,
Yes, it is. At first I thought it wasn't since all I saw was "Portuguese" without specifications, but when I selected it it became "Portuguese (Brazil)". You're good.

Dood you got your nexus s a lil early.. Killer.. Can we get a system dump.. Plz.. Lol just joking.. Enjoy man.. The dumps will be all over the place tomorrow..

It's not slow? What is making you say that? If you are referring to USB transfer speeds that is not the sdcards fault.

nobody can because we don't know what you're talking about. the nexus s accesses the file system at a very fast rate.
he probably means that he has slow transfer rates form pc to internal sd card, if that so, then maybe this help him.
Mine is slow to my files will only transfer at 1.4-1.9 m and my wifes same phone copys at 8-9m/s any way to fix this

Yes, don't bring up old topics. And use the search function.
But otherwise there's many ways. Transfer from within CWM. Use MTP. Or check my signature, even!

Dead Infuse - Please help

Dear community members, my Infuse is dead I don't know why. It was charging over night and I just want to check the time when I noticed it was unresponsive. I though "I'ts just a SOD" but when I pulled out the battery an pressed the power button nothing happened, three finger trick and nothing...black screen no any light whatsoever even when I connect to my PC it is not recognized. Any Ideas?
I have Dman's Zeus 6 whit Script V6 SuperCharger.
I live in El Salvador and here is no any technical support...PLEASE HELP!!!!
I think it's just passed out :'( and if you think so also, I want to know if any of you have an Infuse for sale. I really love this phone because its big screen and wonderful performance.
Check the battery........if u have multi meter u can check it with that or the best way to check ur battery, Touch the battery pins with ur tongue and see if u feel anything.

That will short circuit the battery and then it WON'T work. Also 4v isn't enough to go across your tongue and feel it.
What will short short circuit ?
Just remove the battery and touch it with ur tongue u can feel the current mate.....don't jump on conclusion without trying it.
Thank you guys! I have tested the battery and is full charged (4.14V). Any other ideas?
I really appreciate your help and concern.
Guys I just opened the cellphone and the mainboard is fried
So now I'm lookin for buy the phone or just the mainboard.

No... I gave it to BestBuy.. I will get a new phone in 3 days.. I have to install GB boot loaders first..
I want to install AOKP, without GB boot loaders i am getting rainbows.. So i want GB boot loaders first..
Heimdall technique failed for me..
I dont know what i have done, mistake..
I have done this but without install GB boot loaders...if you carefully see you can read and make almost everything with the rainbows CWM screen...I did it, tested it and then back to Zeus 6 which I think is the perfect ROM for my needs.
I'm too noob to messing around with boot loaders...LOL
I hope you get your phone back soon.

Tethering help :(

Hey guys,
Here's what, my phone manages to establish a connection with my computer just fine, as it is able to with other devices. But apparently, it does NOT share my 3g while it's at it. I guess it's a common problem?

Oh and bluetooth tethering does not work either(similarly)

I'm not calling you a noob or any other name like that. Just search the development thread for "enable built in WiFi hot spot" and there it is. I literally found it in seconds, and you can too.

The only way that I know of to tether without root is to pay your carrier a fee (most probably a monthly fee) to enable it for you.
There are apps in the playstore that are supposed to work, but I haven't tried any so I can't say how well they work.

NUMA is my main ROM and I haven't had any problems tethering with it. It should be enabled by default, though. Are you using the native tethering app?

WiFi or USB? I've only used WiFi, but not in a while so I'll double check it when I get home in a couple of hours. As far as USB tethering goes, I may be wrong but I think you'd have to have something installed on your computer that supports it. A friend of mine uses PDAnet on both his phone and PC to USB tether his desktop but I don't know if something like that is required.

Mount USB as regular external drive, mac

So I've fine some searching and it seems nearly impossible to make these later androids Mount as a external hard drive like we used to.
Is there any easy to make it pure plug and play v or do I need third part apps to make it happen?
Any help would be great.
Thanks!
Well-- let me answer my own question through a weblink i just found on stock exchange. haha but, what's so good about MTP/Media Transfer Protocol?
Anyhow, this is what I got:
Go to Settings→About Phone/Tablet.
Go to “Build Number” at the end of the Scroll list.
Tap on “Build Number” repeatedly (7 times). On your third tap you should see message indicating that you only have 4 more taps to go to ‘become a developer’. Keep tapping until you are a developer. (a toast message will tell you so)
Now Developer Option will be included in setting list of yours now. Go to “Develop Options” to check USB debugging > OK. Done.
In combination with this, I had to download Android File Transfer--- But it's okay with the combined tabs of the internal and external SD card:
http://www.android.com/filetransfer/
Yep, so thats the story.. At least now if other people come over with there android's, I can connect them to my computer no problem. Still though am interested to know about this MTP stuff.. [would be good for knowledge within this thread]
Cheers

Hey thanks- I totally understand and realized that after i had posted, but could not remove the thread. I later put one in the proper forum, however..this seemed a bit of a "general" issue so I left the thread in tact here as well.
If there is a moderator out there, feel free to delete it.

So---for the record--I wasn't "too lazy" to find the right forum. My question was fairly common issue with all later rendition of android 4.2.2...I noticed it on a trip I had recently when I could not plug my friends android into my computer due to lack of certain applications to run it on the flyer.
And also--- what you say was not written in there..just a bunch of fanboys talkin' smack about lazy droid users.
