A friend of mine got this P3110 running stock 4.1.1; a week of usage, she can copy files from her pc to the tab (mass storage), after a week or so, she can't used it as a mass storage device nor we can have it change thru dropdown change USB options (only MTP and camera are present no Mass Storage option). Question is how this can happen? Anyone has any idea what's going on? USB debugging is off. Installed proper drivers (KIES). But now, always asked for MTP drivers and when windows tried to install mtp drivers, not successful.

Factory reset as u might have deleted some framework files
This device only offers mtp and ptp mode. Msc is not supported. Just read the manual

Well, can't find any option in settings on my stripped down JB with Custom Kernel as of now. But I think these are possible connection types:
MTP (Media Transfer Protocol): for Windows Media Player
PTP (Picture Transfer Protocol): to act like a connected camera
MSC (Mass Storage Connection): to act like connected USB drive
As far I remember the GT-P31xx only supports 1 + 2 - not 3. 1 + 2 have the disadvantage that Android Libraries must be updated before files are visible. My experience with this is not good. The manual (for ICS in German) mentions also 3.) but I cannot recall ever noticing it.
If you want to have fast copy actions, then use an external card reader to write to the sd card and then insert the card. This wirks for sure and is the fastest way.
Also check if the device connects well to another PC - problem may not be the device after all, but the PC.

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)

I just plug usb end in to my pc running windows 7 and it auto detects, if that is what your asking! You might have to get the usb drivers from samsung site or google it.

When I plug my tab it, I get a "Connected as a Media Device" (or something along those lines) and my computer will automatically open/view the files on my tablet. If this doesn't happen, you can download Kies (software from Samsung to help install drivers and sync media) and that might help you.
Kies link: http://www.samsung.com/us/kies/
USB mass storage mode is being phased out, if your in windows this is not a problem as the default "media transfer protocol" will work just the same for transferring files (albeit only one transfer at a time)but if you really must have USB mass storage, google is your friend.
usb working in ics
If you are asking for USB storage in tab then you should download nexus media importer from web.....
Your USB drive also should be on Fat32 format. Or tab will not know that USB drive is connected....
I know MTP is working, but my question concern the UMS (USB mass storage) protocol. After searching long time on internet, apparently, UMS will never work on tab under stock rom. Thanks but no solution.

Remove PIN as security option and check
Also re-install the drivers properly
Also check whether it's working fine on other PC or not using different usb cable

Hello,
I pluged the device to my laptop (win 7 pro 64bit) and have chosen the driver mode, installed the drivers, then i want to access the mass storage mode to transfer the files using file commander, but the only modes are charge, MTP, PTP, driver disk....i cant see the internal and external storage as a disk in any mode. Please how to fix this?
I might be wrong, but I do not think Lollipop supports USB mass storage anymore . You should still be able to transfer files in and out via Windows Explorer using MTP mode. And I actually like that because I no longer have to worry about ejecting the device before unplugging.
Usb Mass Storage (UMS) is no more officially supported since Jelly Bean 4.2.2. Nevertheless we can find some app/mod enabling it (on playstore) but I don't know if or works with 5.0 + and root is needed.
Hey,
I got the Problem that MSC mode for USB options doesn't work for me. It shows a blank icon in Windows and tells to insert drive.
I'm using a 128GB SanDisk microsd card if that could be the fault..
Thanks in advance for any help
*Push*
Still having the Problem and it's rather annoying
Today i reflashed from LinOS15 back to 6.0.1 and on first connect, Windows installed driver and showed the device correctly n Mass Storage Mode.
Now after restoring apps etc. it again shows a blank sdcard in Windows explorer. Does really nobody know what could cause this or how to fix this ?
So i figured out it's the priv-app "enhancedusbux" which broke USB MSC (Mass storage Mode).
After restoring, USB Mass Storage mode is working again.
Maybe it helps someone
