Hi Guys - After an unsuccessful attempt to find a solution to connect one andoid to another through USB, I am posting this thread hoping to find a solution from the XDA gods
Problem:- I have a Xperia x10 (Rooted Android) and a Transfomer (Unrooted Android), now when I connect my Xperia to the tab, the Xperia recognises the connection and prompts to mount the SD card. After mounthing the card, I am unable to browse the contents of the phone card in my tab. Actually the tab fails to recognise the phone card as external memory card.
Is there any application that will enable Android to Android file sharing through USB?
Thanks In Advance
Mount it manually in Settings>Storage>Mount USBDisk x.
It does not mount automatically.
If that does not work, try Multi-Mount SD on your Xperia.
If still won't work, it will be a ROM related problem on your phone.
Mine works fine - HTC Desire Root/S-OFF on MIUI XJ - unrooted TF

Hello all,
I have Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo V.
So I upgraded the phone to ICS 4.0.3 and it seems I cannot find an option to encrypt phone under settings > security.
What I have found is this:
If i connect to pc through usb I need to enter my screen password in order to be able to read the SD Card.
BUT, when I remove the sd card and enter it to an external card reader ALL data are available.
Is there no option to fully encrypt the SD Card in ICS?
What the heck?
in fact, even the google stock ics doesn't support external Sd card encrryption too.
the reason why you must input the screenlock password to make Sd card visible when you connect your phone to pc is that you are using MTP connection mode, the mode will hide the storage units unless you unlock the screen. that's to say, if you change the connectivity mode(Settings->Xperia->Connectivity) to MSC, Sd card will be visible even you don't unlock the screen.
P.S.
#in MSC mode, only Sd card can be found, since internal storage doesn't support the MSC mode.
#you must unplug the usb cable or you can't change connectivity mode
Thank you for your answer!
So far you were the only one who gave me an insight on what's happening.
And thank you for letting me know that the sd is not encrypted but "invisible".
Hello,
I just spent my GNote under ParanoidAndroid 3.00 of beerbong. Application Switcher with USB I managed to get my internal card on your computer (Windows 7even), but can not mount my external card. However, the PC sees very well, but the line is grayed out and only the line of the internal card is activated. I have not tried via MTP, as in the version utacka (CM10) it worked. I post here because I'm not allowed to post in the forums dedicated.
Thank you in advance.
Hi everybody, i am a new member (a noob) so i really need your help. I am using a Samsung Galaxy Wonder GT-I8150, i rooted it and flashed the cm9 rom using cmw recovery 5. Now when i want to download something or take a picture (i installed a camera app because cm9's camera is not working) it tells me that i need to insert my sd card. I go back to cmw recovery 5 - Mounts and Storage - Mount Usb Storage, it says: Usb Mass Storage Device Leaving this menu unmount your sd card from your pc. I tried using this option while my phone is connected to the pc but nothing happens, any help plz?:crying:
Maybe, you should try to format sdcard.

It could be something as simple as your SD card being not properly inserted into the slot - maybe because you accidentally dropped it. Try opening the phone's back and removing the SD card and then reinserting it. make sure it properly sits in its slot. If the problem still persists, wait for someone with better knowledge to come along.
Hi everyone!
i Have this problem: when i plug my p3100 to my Macbook pro with Mac Os X Snow Leopard the Tab says that is connected and to choose if i want it mounted as an archieve or as a camera. when i check camera i can import phoos from the internal device memory, but i i check archieve nothing happens, with my Galaxy S Plus GT-I9001 when i do so i see the internal and external sd-card as archieve and i can use them as a normal usb drive, but this won't hapen with the p3100. so i tried to install Android File Transfer but it says that is impossible to connectto the device to restart and try again.
I have tried with stock ICS stock JB OTA Update and now with PAC-rom, but it never works ((
i also tried adb! and with adb devices it is detected but if i try to transfer somthing to it via adb push it takes a lot of time and when the process ends i do not have any file on the tab!!!
Can someone help me to figure out how to do connect my tab to the computer and transfer files to it??
Yeah, macs don't support MTP, so the "media device" connection option isn't going to work out of the box. Dunno why Android File Transfer is erroring out though. At this point maybe the simplest solution is to get a MicroSD card and reader and transfer the files by moving the card between devices and using ES File Explorer to move them wherever they need to go.

For your 'before', it is because you are on Samsung stock ROM. Samsung Kies only recognises devices running Samsung-based stock/modified ROM. Custom ROMs are not based on Samsung ROM, so Kies cannot detect them.
There is actually an exploit in CM11, try to turn USB debugging on while uncheck MTP and PTP. It works for me to detect my external SD card although official fix is still in progress. If this still does not work for you, you can either take out your external SD card and plug into your card reader to transfer or search for file transfer apps / software that uses wifi as transfer medium.

Try an app called Airdroid. With it you can transfer files using your web browser in your computer.
CM11 doesn't support USB (yet)
On Nexus 4 or Samsung n9002 in CM11, you can't even check/uncheck MTP and PTP. USB is not supported if you have these devices. The USB computer connection screen simply crashes. :'(
