Folks:
I switched my HTC S621 for a Jack i637 a couple weeks ago. I like very much the Jack but I'm having problems with it:
1. - When I connect the Jack to use it as a USB mass storage device, only the main memory is accessible. I'm not able to read the SD card, not even from the phone's File Explorer. I also connected it to my car stereo USB port to play the music on the SD card, and it only reads the internal memory.
If the USB is set to Activesync, then I can access the SD with no problem. I have a 4GB SD card.
2.- Very often, while I'm synchronizing the phone with the PC, the Activesync screen says that it is disconnected and 20 to 30 seconds later IExplorer freezes on the computer. I stream to my PC a live audio feed from a radio station (http://www.imagen.com.mx/audioenvivo/) that stops playing, but as soon as I remove the data cable for the phone the audio returns to the PC.
Hi!
I know it is possible to connect my Samsung Galaxy SII to a PC and mount the file system of the SD card (either in debug mode as two removable Windows volumes or, without debug mode, as a phone device). However, I would like to have the phone more as a USB stick, i.e. having only one partition (so that Windows can see it properly) and, more important: being a USB stick even when not yet plugged into the host, i.e. the host never seeing anything else than a USB stick.
Why do I want that?
Because I tried to connect the phone to a DVD player that has a USB port, so that I can watch photos directly on TV (via DVD player). The player would offer to display media from USB stick.
However, nothing I tried worked. When I plug in the phone, the player sees the USB device plugged in but does not see a file system, saying that the media is not formatted or supported. When the phone itself offers to go into USB connection mode, it is too late and the player refuses to see it still. The phone simply offers USB connection mode too late.
So the question is: is there an app capable of doing this? That would be an app that I start and which puts the phone into USB connection mode *before* I plug it into the host. If I could define a directory that will be seen as the root file system of the stick from outside, this would be great. If I could put that file system into read-only mode, it would be perfect.
I found many posts about the phone being a portable drive, connecting USB sticks to the phone and so on. But nothing fits that use case I described.
Any hints?
Hm, today I thought about it
But my DVD Player as yours, say USB Device Unsupported.
I'd really like the possibility to connect to DVD Player as normal pendrive, and play movies.
And still no reply. That's... sad

You can try the following:
Open ‘Menu’ on your Android and tap on settings. You can find ‘Wireless and Network’ option in settings, just open it and it will now show you various options. Select ‘USB Utilities’ and you will get the option ‘Connect storage to PC’ as shown below.
Now it will ask you to connect your phone to PC using USB Cable. When you done with that you will get an Android symbol and message ‘USB connected’.
Everything is done now and your Android has turned into USB storage device. Transfer and manage files as you want.
Not fully sure, try putting the videos in root(in no folder) of sd card.
Reboot to recovery and under mounts and storage try mount usb mass storage

Hi!
The hints from mikedavis120 and pcbilski actually look like they could work. Unfortunately it is not my DVD player but my father's and he is on vacation now. Will take two weeks until I can try
I have tried both methods on two DVD players, and both failed
pcbilski's - 1st player when in standby, gives power to USB so when I connected a phone it popup a message to mount sdcard. Mounted SD, and started up a player and... nothing, it doesn't load, doesn't say anything.
2nd player doesn't give power to USB so when I turned it on, my phone found a connection. So before phone mounted SD, there was error - Unsupported USB. When it was mounted, choose other source, and back to USB and nothing, like on 1st player
mikedavis120's method - both players didn't saw any USB Device
Sorry for my english, but I think it's readable
Yeah, figured as much today. Problem is that before the phone accepts to becomes a USB drive, you have to plug in the cable, wait a second, and confirm the popup. But until then the DVD player already sees the phone and thinks it is not a USB stick, refusing to accept it later. A hen and egg problem.
Any news on this? My USB-stick just broke and I need to update my TVs firmware...
Hopefully this will work for future readers.
It is actually for installing OSes(I think, atleast that was my use.), but I think it will work. Create a blank image, and copy the files to the blank new drive from a computer.
I have a new 2012 accord with USB. My iphone 4 plays perfect when i connect my cars USB to it to the factory headunit but when i connect my skyrocket is shows USB unsupported and yes i chose connect USBstorage when prompted on the phone.
When i connect it to my PC it loads as 2 drives. My OS drive and my SD card...
i loaded music on my SD and the folder labeled USBstorage with no luck.. is this the same issue they are seeing with ICS on the nexus?
/sdcard/USBstorage is wrong, that's for when you plug a USB key into your pohne
what you want is in /sdcard/external_sd/<your music folder name>/
Yes i have music in both directories and neither will load...?
So I downloaded a lot of movies with subtitles on my PAd 300 and when I plug it to my TV through USB it doesn't detect it as mass media storage.
I know that with the HDMI I can duplicate the pad's screen, but I don't have the cable
So, is there a way to make my Samsung TV detect anyhow by USB?
When I plug phone (Marshmallow) into PC I get CD Drive(F):USB Drive. It does not show up in Windows Media Player as the Idol's SD card ready to sync. It used to show up just fine before MM and I could sync my music. Now all I get in WMP is connect device.
Help.
(I set up SD card as external storage)
When I connect Idol 3 to my PC I get 4 options to use USB for:
1. charging only
2 transfer files (MTP)
3. Transfer Photos (PTP)
4. MIDI
I picked MTP.
Phone does not show up as phone on my PC. It shows up as CD Drive (F) USB Drivers. It does not show up at all in WMP in the sync tab. The sync tab just says connect device. Before MM the SD card used to show up in sync tab.
