I apologize if this has been already addressed but I`m gonna ask anyway.
After switching to ViperOneS 2.0.0 JB, every time I plug my phone in, it`s seen as CD drive not SD. This happens on both: laptop and desktop.
Is there a workaround for this ?
Thanks in advance.
It does this because Sense 4+ supposedly uses MTP (a different protocol other than the traditional storage mount) to transfer files. Unfortunately, there seems to be no way to get the regular transfer protocol back. I tried apps on the Play Store and got no luck.
I personally dislike MTP with a burning passion. It's much slower and less stable in my opinion. HTC started using it because its supposed to get rid of corrupting errors and allows you to read contents on the storage while it is mounted (IE: play music whilst connected to PC). I hope they stop using it soon in an update (hopefully Sense 5?) but until then or until someone can ditch MTP with a mod, you have to either live with it, flash AOSP, or mount in TWRP if you absolutely have to. I personally am able to live with it (force to use iSyncr over wifi b/c it doesn't work with MTP) and just hope it gets changed. Hope this helped.
Thanks a lot, CSP.

Morning all,
I installed Froyo over the weekend, and all is good. Only downsides are CoPilot being bust (which I presume they'll fix soon, I'll use the GoogleMaps navigation in the meantime), and the new USB mass storage connection prompt.
I use a USB cable connected to my PC @ work to charge my Nexus, but with Froyo as soon as I plug in, I now get this dumb full-screen prompt asking whether I want to mount the SD card as USB mass-storage. Which I don't want to. Ever.
Anyone know if there's any way to turn it off?

Have you tried disabling SD Card notifications?
I've had this problem since FRF50 and each iteration all the way to FRF91.
The option to turn off USB notification is nowhere to be found. I remember it was present before Froyo but it seems to have been removed.
Am I alone on the issue or does it happen to others as well?
It's here on my n1 Froyo too. Quite irritating

No way to do this? even with Cyanogen?
Hi,
I am running cm6 and don't have this problem. There are a few settings under settings > Applications > Development, but is that long since i used vanilla froyo i wouldn't remember what they where.
So i would recommend trying cm6 or one of the other roms available here. If you want something as close to original as possible may i recommend one of the modaco releases for it. As close to stock as you can get and if you use the kitchens, you can bake the rom exactly as you want.
I did a search, and I couldn't find anything on it.
But I wanted to use my G2x as a memory device for the xbox 360 (to move game saves and such). But when I plug in the phone and enable usb mode, it doesn't show up under "storage devices", where it should be if the xbox recognized it.
I already tried formatting the drive to fat32, and still no luck... Any help?
you need to install drivers to mount storage on a pc, so I'm guessing it won't work on a 360 for that reason
Try "mass storage only mode" under SD Card and Phone storage in settings!

Ah. That does make sense. :/
I did try the solution that the poster above mentioned, but it still didn't work. Looks like I'm off to walmart to go buy myself a sandisk usb.
If anyone else has a solution or any ideas, it's never too late to post them. Maybe someone else will try in the future.
Ah darn, I had heard that would mount the external SD card on a PC without any drivers, but haven't tried it myself yet. You are using an external SD card?
Its not just the drivers. I know for a fact My 360 would read my stock G1 and with the earliest cyanogen roms, posibly as well with my N1.
once the rumors started about the "zune phone" which became the windows 7 phone media sync broke and xbox wouldnt see any of the phones. long story short M$ blocked you so W7 phones have an advantage

My car has a USB port and I can plugin to it USB thumb drives and I could also plugin my old MyTouch 3G to it and I could play music off of them.
I cannot play music on my phone through the USB port. I assumed it was because of the drivers issue, which is REALLY unfortunate because that was great functionality...
Anyone know if these issues persist after rooting and loading a Cyanogen rom?

That isnt what this thread is about. this is about the ability for xbox to read android phones. it used to, but now it does not.
your issue could be one of a few things. anything from your specific rom to making sure mass storage mode is checked or mounting the USB when prompted. Im not sure how yours works as I prefer the AUX on my head unit
Apologies, I searched the forums and stumbled onto this, as I read through i thought it could be related and put in a reply.
I never get the prompt on my phone to mount it...which is what prompted me to search the forums. I'll keep looking
Hi all, I've been waiting and searching around seeing if I was able to find any kind of fix or something for some time now but it's beginning to get to me far too much.
My problem is when I had the HTC Aria I used to have the audio stored on my phone and plug it into my car's USB connection and the headunit would search the device and find all audio to play through the headunit which I was then able to use my controls on the steering wheel. After some time I bought the Samsung Galaxy S2 (l9100) and to my excitement received the whopping 16GB internal storage as a bonus, so I filled that. And heres where my problem comes in, I cant seem to make my headunit search the internal storage and play all that music, It will only search the SD card (external).
Now from reading all over the internet I've been led to believe by any posts that relate somewhat to this that it wont be possible for this to work, what frustrates me though is that it is possible. I've rooted and flashed various custom ROM's to my device (VillianROM first, Cyanogenmod Nightlies second and now MIUI yesterday). I have successfully had the headunit read my internal (newer and more songs) upon connection twice that I can recall now, I think the first time was after first connection to the car after the cyanogenmod flash and today when I first connected it again. Which led me to believe that it was working and then was just applying a new theme on my phone while hanging at a friends then was taking another friend home and plugged it in and back to only reading from my SD card (external - old crap music) and can't figure out why it has worked twice if it is not possible.
The reason why I am determined to figure this out is due to 16 GB internal storage and only 1 GB external storage and I wish to use my phone to its full potential.
While I'm at it, I guess I should mention my other problem which adds to my determination to get the USB connection working with my car. The USB connection is a much clearer & louder playback (Higher quality) then the AUX (current alternative) and to be safer while driving by using my steering controls.
But since flashing to Cyanogenmod and MIUI (cannot recall whether I had this problem on VillainROM) I've noticed the volume in headset mode (when I have something plugged into the headphone jack - ie, AUX, etc) and I begin turning up the volume from quietest to loudest it get notably louder each press until halfway or a press before halfway and then does not become any louder, which I also think may be making the audio less clear and loud when connected via AUX to my car.
Thanks in advance to anyone whom contributes.
I am usually stubborn enough to sort problems out myself, but for the first time I am asking for help on a community forum.
Anyone have any idea what I'm talking about?
If you need to know anything else don't hesitate to ask.
CM7 volume is a known issues or least it was last time I checked.
Try turning on/off usb debugging is my best guess.
Done that, today at some point it randomly read my internal storage and right now I'm constantly reconnecting it with no success.
The frustration continues as it is obviously possible but appears to have a mind of its own.
With my little knowledge when it comes to android and their platform, is it possible it could be there mount priority of the storage or the internal having something stored on it such as an app that could be in use by the phone which could be preventing the drive from being read?
what the hell... I have the exact OPPOSITE problem.
With my headunit its been only mounting the internal storage, but most of my music I put them in the external since I got a 32gb card!
Could it be mounting the smaller sized storage first? =P
-EDIT-
Actually it should be easier to do it the way you want it to (i.e mount internal only)
just unmount the sd card via the android settings -> storage -> unmount
and once it is unmounted, connect the usb to the car.
The catch is of course if you wanna use the external again you have to manually mount it via the settings.
more info but no real help
I have seen a very similar problem and I feel like I can reproduce it.
I've got a 2010 Hyundai Tucson - it has a USB/aux port in the dash console and can accept anything that can be mounted as flash media, flash drives, ipods, etc can all play back music using the Nav display to browse and playback files from the device.
The stereo plays back music perfectly through both my wife's old and new phones. An original MyTouch 3g and a MyTouch 4g. She's had no problem mounting and reading the files from her internal storage. She can playback music on her phone, the car even remembers her place and resumes where she stopped a song.
I, on the other hand, cannot easily get the car to playback files from my older or newer phone. I started with the original android, the HTC Dream/TMobile G1 then later upgraded to a Samsung Galaxy S 3g/TMob Vibrant. What's the difference? I've run modded android OS on my phones and my wife has not. I had been running CM5 and later CM6 on the G1/Dream until I retired it. Lately I've been using a MIUI mod, Lithium 360, on the Vibrant.
When I plug in to the USB on the car, the phone gives me the mount prompt and the car begins searching for files. Eventually both fail to make any progress.
I've tried many fixes including turning on/off USB debugging, I've tried wiping Dalvik cache, Wiping regular cache, I believe I even did a factory reset, flash zip, full re-install on a road trip just to see if I could get the car to read my files. What I did discover is that the problem is simply not hardware related. I could boot to recovery and use clockwork to mount USB storage. Files were seen instantly and played back fine. However, this doesn't do me any good as I can't really use the device for anything else (safety first ) and not to mention that there's no way I want to run the phone with the screen on for hours. I know there are simple workarounds here. But carrying an aux/patch cable is an extra hassle, and since my phone can hold enough data for my average means, I often don't remember to bring a flash drive with me everywhere. Besides, the USB cable in the dash does double duty, charging while giving access to files.
To be fair, I've only used CM based mods (according to wikipedia, MIUI is somewhat based on Cyanogen) on my phone and have not tried out any other android software. I don't know if that's a connection or not, but it's the only lead I have right now. There's got to be something different about the USB settings in the OS itself compared to stock Android. Is there an apk file one could flash and test somehow?

This thread is above seems to be describing the same problem. This however appears to be an aftermarket stereo.
[Q] After mounting it *immediately* dismounts
Connecting to a Samsung TV (USB debugging ON and clicked on USB Storage until it turns from green to orange) and then browsing USB (Menu => USB device) it mounts the USB ("Android 11GB" which is presumably the internal SD) and then dismounts within a second and restarts initializing. An ordinary USB stick (single file system) does mount.
Is this because the Galaxy S2 mounts two file systems at a time and the TV cannot handle this. Is there an app which only mounts ONE filesystem on the Galaxy ?
It seems android has adopted this stupid MTP mechanism of communicating with pcs now, and there is no way back at least for now. I'm so frustrated. Not only it's slow as *****, it always, and I mean _always_ breaks down in the middle of a big transfer. I am so frustrated I'm thinking about alternatives. iOS is a downgrade, and Windows is a downfall, but android is starting to make very stupid decisions, and manufacturers are going with it. It's a big pain to remove a memory card from most of android phones, and OTG cables aren't the best way to do file transfers. I used to have a dock for my galaxy tab, and it was great to move movies into it, but now, it simply doesn't work. And I've tested every "solution" I could find without success. Gosh, I'm so frustrated right now. Do you think things will go back to normal? I know the new partition system android adopted calls for a change of some things we took for granted, like not exposing the main internal memory to USB, but MTP? it's a slow, unstable and problematic protocol. If only I could expose my external card to my pc, like people do with the S3 and that software that enables it...
I used to use Samba on ICS and now curiously, the internal storage sharing doesn't work on JB anymore -- but guess what? External does; under "Other Filesharing Settings." Not beautiful or elegant, but better than MTP.
Hello, I've been looking for a new ROM to switch to but I've come across a serious problem.
From what I've noticed, CM 13 now mounts the USB drive in /mnt/media_rw/<uuid>. That's fine but I can access this folder only in CM File Manager. In any other app this folder is either not visible (eg. Root Browser) or it's visible as a file (Titanium Backup). I cannot use StickMount either, it just closes after trying to mount the drive and it keeps saying that "the service is busy". I've been trying several tricks with modifying permissions.xml, changing permissions and owners but after three hours of trying to get it to work, I gave up.
This seems to be happening not only on CM 13 but on any other ROM that's based on it (checked with Bliss). Logcat is here: http://pastebin.com/VRduYA1z
Is this a problem related to CM 13 or is there something wrong with my drive? Now I'm running on Chroma and with StickMount my drive works perfectly fine.
I think it has something to do with Marshmallow in general. Marshmallow introduced the feature of using a USB drive as internal storage or something like that. I think it may have changed the external storage location too. I don't know the details but I have had issues with emulators not being able to see my game ROMs on a USB stick as well. I've been wanting to store ROMs on my USB stick and play them on my Nexus Player with emulators but I'm having the same issue of not being able to navigate to them. I haven't figured out any fix for this.
