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.

Can't access the SD card from the PC....
I'm using MS File Explorer on the PC and am connected by USB cable, and can see folders that appear to be the data on the internal memory of Gtab, but don't see anything for the external SD card.
Can you get to your external SD card from your PC?? Any idea how I can get it to show up? Want to be able to transfer files, but am currently having to keep pulling it out of the Gtab and put it into the SD card slot on the laptop to get access.
I'm running Vegan b3. Thanks in advance!!
Hi,
If you share your pc drive, you can use ES File Explorer, by selecting LAN instead of local.

Fyi, I just tested this (network sharing) and was able to access shares on a Win7 machine and on a WinXP machine. For the latter, I had to use the "guest" user, with no password.

I think he wants to do it the other way around; access the external sdcard from the PC.
One of the glaring goofs by the OEM devs and the firmware. If a microsd is in the slot, we should see two logical drives when the device is mounted.
Incredible, Galaxy S and Tab versions with internal space shows two drives (as they should). Another issue with the G is the microsd unmount function is problematic- at best.
Hello all
I bought a P6200 recently! but when I connect it to PC it doesn't mount as USB drive?
As well in settings menu I couldn't find it to set it to mass storage mode!(like my Xperia neo and other Android phones) even it doesn't have USB part
Would u help me ?
It's ridiculous that can't be done!
yup... it is ridiculous because it really cant be done...
That' s not true. After connecting my Tab Plus to PC, I got new wino opened with 2 drives. One is my MC and second Phone memory so I can copy whatever I want. Try in settings-application-development...
that is in MTP mode...
The reason is because of how the GTab 7+ uses internal/external memory.
It's impossible for Android to unmount the memory because it's constantly in use. This provides a lot of benefits for performance and application space.
However, the trade off is that unmounting the partition would cause android to crash. So you can't unmount it to let a PC mount the partition. The work around for this is Android hosting the partition as an MTP device and doing file changes by proxy for the PC.
Personally, I haven't found a situation where I needed to do something on the file system that MTP prevented me from doing. At least so far...
I too have had no problems so far transfering files using MTP but its very slow. So I've used a card reader to transfer files to the sdcard when I wanted to do a quick transfer of a larger amount of files such as mp3's.
Hard to mount the sd card as a drive for use with synctoy is one example of where mtp is inconvenient at best.

Mass Storange mode is no longer available since Android3/4 deives as there is no seperate internal SD card. All Android tabs connect with MTP mode.
I use SyncToy as well to backup the whole of /sdcard. But that's for the P1000, now I can't do the same on the P6200. All the other available options are either too slow or too cumbersome to use on a daily basis.

Has anyone tried the "Multi Mount SD-Card" app on this device? It mounts the SD card as USB mass storage without dismounting from the android system.
I found mine mounted them both only after i inserted a micro sd card into the device.

I have just installed Multi Mount SD-Card v2.12 and found that it is not compatible with the device. It's disappointing.
I would suggest setting up adb and using Android commander (it is a GUI for windows)

Hello everyone, I am having a problem trying to figure out how to get my Xoom to hook up as a disk drive. It only mounts up as a media device so that I can ONLY xfer music and images. I am trying to drop a CM9 rom on to my SD card. I remember when I rooted it that I had to push the files to the Xoom but I somehow forgot how to do it :O Didn't know if there was any way or just have to push the file to it...
Any help would be greatly appreciated much!
The rom that I currently have is as followed:
[ROM][Nightly][ICS] Team Eos WiFi Nightlies (Wingray/MZ604)

Why not just use an adapter or card reader and drop it directly from your pc?

I did, but when I go into recovery it does not show up. When I try to click on, install .zip from sd card, nothing is in there.
Its weird, when I click on "Xoom" from "my computer" I can either choose SD card or Internal storage, once I drop a files into my sd card and try to find it on my Xoom, its totally missing, but still on my computer...
I tried going into recovery and keeping the Xoom connecting and mounting to USB storage, but when I do that, it recognizes it in my computer as "disk G" and when I click on it it says please insert a disc etc.
I am totally lost and totally irritated, I just want to flash CM9!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can you not download the CM9 directly onto your Xoom from their website without having to use your PC? The reason I'm asking is that I also had loads of issues when connecting the Xoom to the PC or Mac, and having to take out the SD card and pop it into a card reader is also a pain as you have to turn off your Xoom first. By far the easiest solution for me was just to download CM9 directly onto the Xoom's internal memory and then manually move it to the external SD card. Easy peasy...
In command prompt
Adb push <filename> <xoom path>
Example:
adb push cm9.zip /mnt/sdcard/CM9-Files/
That assumes either adb is in your path and your have changed to the directory of the file you are pushing...or...adb is in the same directory as the file being pushed.

Why do you have to turn your xoom off to take the SD card out? Just go to settings>storage and scroll down to your sdcard and unmount it then take it out. Just tested it and it works fine.

Thank you guys I figured it out and am now happy! Lots of love!

I can't seem to move a folder from my PC (Win7 64bit) to my rooted Android external microSD. Every time I move a file it shows the move but then when I go into the phone its not there.
It doesn't let me move the file onto the microSD card!?!?!?!
What file is it? What are u using to transfer the file, what from? Where are you putting the file?
Most importantly, did u browse to:
/sdcard/external_SD
And make sure it wasn't there instead?

Its a folder filled with my mp3 songs
I am using windows explorer
Using my PC (win7 64bit) via USB port
I am putting them into my microSD directly (in windows explorer it shows my phone and external microSD as 2 separate locations, each with its own letter association).
Yes I checked /sdcard/external_SD... not there not anywhere actually...
Did u use a file manager like astro or root explorer to check?

Yes but I also used windows explorer after disconnecting and then reconnecting via USB and it wasn't there anymore.
It maybe bcoz of errors and bad sectors of ur card, a full format should fix that
You're Either Nexus Or Against Us
Could be a problem with your computer, or the sdcard in your phone. Try a different computer first
I'm using ES File Manager to copy files from my computer to a new Note PRO. I can copy files to the internal storage but I can't copy to the external SD. Also, I cannot use ES File Manager to move files from internal storage to the SD. I can use the stock file manager to move files between internal and SD. So the questions are:
1) Can ES File Manager be made to copy files to the SD card?
2) If not, then can the stock file manager access Windows devices to copy files from the computer to the SD?

Yep, that looks like it. Thank you. I'm not ready to root yet to solve the issue. I was not able to tell if this is a bug or by design. It's pretty limiting.
Still trying to figure out if the built-in file manager can be used to copy from a Windows computer to the SD card.
If you connect your tablet to your windows PC you should be able to access internal and external sdcard. They will show up as separate drives. If they don't, install Kies 3 then connect your tablet again.

I was hoping to get this done using wi-fi just for the convenience. It is something I did with previous devices. It always surprised when a basic feature goes away.
If you have an FTP server installed on your PC, My Files app can pull your files that way, then save them to external sdcard
ES File Explorer implemented the workaround within the first few days of KitKat's release. I've been using it to move files in all directions to and from my MicroSD on my Note 3, S5 and NotePro for months without issue. The main thing that doesn't work is renaming.
However, the WiFi transfer to MicroSD has been blocked by Google for security reasons after a series of WiFi-related file security problems. No file manager is capable of this without Root. Same as how you can no longer download files off the internet directly onto the MicroSD.
It's much faster to just pull out the MicroSD and plug it into a PC, anyway. The transfer protocols on Android are a nightmare.
