I was wondering if it's possible to have my phone 'act' like a flash drive.
By that, I mean that when I plug it into the computer, the phone won't connect as a phone (which would show the internal storage card, and external storage card), instead it will just show the external sd card as a new flash drive..
I really don't know how to explain it properly, so I thought I would use some images:
This is what happens when I plug my phone into my computer at the moment:

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then you double click on that and you're taken to the two options through the phone:
However, what I want it to do is the same as when I connect my USB, it just shows a new drive:
I think it's a matter of being able to enable 'Mass storage' on the phone (which I can do, as I'm running Cyanogen Mod 11), but it doesn't seem to work, as the drive in inaccessible when it's enabled..
Is there a 3rd party app, Xposed module, anything, that I can use to get this functionality that I'm after?
Thanks,
Denno
In case you're wondering, this is why I want it:
I have been trying to figure out how to connect my phone to my car stereo without relying on the 3.5mm headphone jack attachment (which doesn't give the best audio quality). I've tried to connect the USB adapter, but the head unit always shows up with "Device Error". I think the reason is that it's not seeing a single drive, but instead a "phone" that has 2 drives, and the head unit doesn't know how to handle it, so it just throws an error. I reckon that if I can get the phone to just straight up offer the SD card and nothing else when USB data is connected, then the head unit will be able to read the music that is on my external sd card.

Hi
Is it possible to connect Inspire using USB port to car media, access music files and play them on car stereo? This was possible in iPhone...and I could not make this work on Inspire. My music files are in external SD card...and I tried "Charge only" and "Disk" option.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
I would assume what ever your connecting to would have to have the ability to read external drive

Yup. I have a pioneer head unit that has a usb port, but I think it was somehow geared towards the... Take a guess... iPod, because I have a non iPod music player that plays .FLAC files natively and it won't recognize it, yet it is seen as an external drive when I plug it into the computer.
Never figured that one out.
The USB port on my BMW is designed to take a USB memory stick. My Inspire in "Disk Drive" mode works just fine. You have to buy a $100 adapter from BMW to use the iPhone/iPod 30 pin connector and it only uses the USB to catalog the files. What's worse, the audio is crappy analog in a separate 1/8" plug! I like that apple users get the shaft and the default is open standards.

My One S (S4 tmob.de, s-on, no root, latest firmware) all of sudden stopped reading my pendrive. It says it is damaged. Pendrive works fine, no problems, i ran chkdsk on it, reformatted it a few times(FAT32, 16gb pendrive). Other pendrives work, but this one wont anymore.
Any ideas?

Normal USB 2.0 Flash Drive connected to my phone through USB OTG cable. I dont know why i didnt mention that..
OK, i finally found someone with USB HOST, and his phone gave option to reformat my pendrive, and now it works. (my phone didnt give me option to reformat..)
I am quite confused, cause it got formatted into FAT32, which it arleady was... but whatever, IT WORKS!
Hello everyone,
I'm trying something that I haven't tried before..
Two storage devices via our bacons USB otg..
I connected the USB otg cable to a USB ports extender and connected a mouse and one pendrive.. Worked.. Both the devices worked.. No external power source..
Now coming to two storage devices.. I am able to see only one. The first one connected to the phone.. However, I'm not able to see the second device..
But, when I remove the second storage device without unmounting, the error shows that I unmounted a storage device without unmounting.. Now, that's funny coz my device actually detected the second storage device. But I'm not sure how to access files in it..
Any help will be great..
Here's a picture of what I've been using...

The mouse and USB storage combo works, 2x USB storage devices, I'm able to access the files via the first one connected but not the second device.
But while removing the second device, the error pops up telling that I removed a device without unmounting.. Which means its detecting both the storage devices. But the question is how to access both the devices???
Thanks,

Found the solution... Use stick mount by chain fire.. Both the storage devices are visible...
Mods please close this thread..
Thank you..

First of all, if you are using an OS X device (Mac), make sure you have the proper drivers for the S7 installed on your device. If you are using a Windows device, make sure you have the proper adb drivers and the usb drivers for the S7. Otherwise, that error message would persist.
Good luck
I'm confused this is when I connect it to my car with the charging cable...
I get that, too, in my Chevy Silverado. The nav console in my truck my be Apple (IOS) or Windows CE based. Not sure which. Oddly enough it didn't do that originally. Not sure when it started.
This is the msg when you connect to a your car with USB cable right? You can change the settings what happens when you connect to a USB cable. GS7 has the switch app pre loaded which helps move data, settings from the older phone maybe uninstalling it will help. I had the same error when I connect my GS7 to my cars USB port for charging.

For me, yes when using USB cable. Bluetooth is fine, though...
Hi folks:
I have a Galaxy S7 with a dead screne. It won't take any touch input either.
so i bought an OTG Adapter and have a keyboard connected.
I managed to unlock the screen blindly.
But now i need to activate USB-Debugging so i can access the phone via ADB or SHELL.
But i can't :/
Than i thought about a quick and simple way to either stream my image somewhere else OR use a remote program like TeamViewer or similar.
The thing is, most apps need to be configured after installtion, or click this and that and than this and swipe away the tutorial and so on.
It would be perfect if there was an app, which i do install, start and only need to click one or two things and get it running.
Streaming inside my LAN only would be perfect. So i can access it easy and quick as long as its in my local network.
there are images and other stuff which i want to backup. i dont want to buy a new screen cause i will buy a new phone in 2 months anyways.
Does someone have an idea?

If on Android device USB-MTP mode is activated then it is possible to map any Android device ( i.e. its user-data ) as a drive letter on Windows PC without the need of running ADB commands: All you need is to install MTPDrive driver on Windows PC and having a common USB 2. a0 / USB 3.x cable at your hands.
It's at 100% working!
