Hi,
Does anyone know of a way to enable usb mass storage device mode on the S8+. I want to connect it to my car via usb but it doesn't let me. I have read that I need to connect it as a mass storage device however all the apps that say they can do this say that they can't find my 'lun' file. I can connect it via aux but then I can't control the music with the pause buttons etc. Bluetooth isn't an option as my car doesn't have it.
up for this
MTP all the way
Maybe the issue is not with your S8, but with your car's USB. Try both these steps to isolate the issue:
1. Connect your S8 to a laptop to check if you can enable mass storage.
2. Connect another phone to your car's USB to see if it allows and recognized the mass storage setting.
3. Try to connect your S8 to another car and see if the mass storage can be used.

That is not a issue with the car USB... That kind of radio only support universal mass storage devices, the old andorid devices, android 5 and below, could be mounted as a UMS device, so the radio would be able to play it's audio files. Now android devices can only be mounted as MTP, so it doesnt works. One thing that you can do is root your phone and use some UMS enabler app.
Guys, can I access my storage from recovery mode?
I cant unlock my phone and need to get data from storage.
Is there a mass storage option, like old times?
Thx

Has anyone found a way to connect their captivate or other android devices to their car through the usb port. I tried all the usb modes, including debugging. I thought mass storage would work, since it can index other mass storage devices, but all I get are error messages. I could just connect it trough the 3.5 aux cord but it doesn't sound is good (limited to stereo) and cant control it trough steering wheel.
Mass storage mode requires a second step to manually mount the drives. If you don't do that, the drives won't be found.
You can also use Media Player mode (which doesn't require manually mount the drives). But this mode is very buggy in stock firmware. I often have to reboot the phone after use it.
The reason you have to mount/unmount the drive is to allow media scanning to run everytime the drives unmounted. The built-in Music and Video player has no other way to refresh its media library.
Yeah i'm having trouble with the USB port also. I use the AUX in for the TV screen in the truck and plug in my phone that way, it sounds much better then the 3.5mm jack.
Im trying to get my radio to read the mp3's from my phone but its simply not reading it, even after mounting it... nothing. I stuck an external sd card into the phone, copied the mp3's to it and also nothing, any ideas? The radio reads the usb stick just fine.
Radio reading mp3s???
what exactly do you mean radio not reading usb do you mean like when you plug in the connection in your car through the car charger?
The radio in the car has a usb port, you can attach usb drives to it and it would play every mp3 thats on it. Now when i plug in my captivate to it and mount it it simply says device not recognized.
Try going into Settings - Applications - USB Settings - and trying Mass Storage.
I have not been able to get Android to play over my USB car radio (Stock GM Bose system) Crapple products, Thumb drives and Zune work, but Android is a no go for me.
Might need to try USB Debugging too..When I had Android on my Tilt (no external audio) it had to be enabled or the USB to 3.5mm wouldn't work.
I've tried USB Debugging mode also.

Ya me too, the radio just doesn't recognize it, radio says "invalid usb information aquired". I rather use the usb cable than the usb>3.5m cable since it'll charge the phone too.
turn on mass storage or try media player mode with USB Debugging on as well

Doesn't work, tried every possible setting.
Hey everyone, I'm currently running the latest stable version of CM10. My phone also has a microSD card inserted in it.
My question is about connecting to the computer via USB port. Normally, with stock, when you connect to a computer you have to allow it to connect and disconnect it before you remove it from the computer. I think it has to do with USB debugging (which I have off)? However, when I use CM10, I get no prompt whatsoever.
Is it safe to just put it in and pull it out (that's what she said)?
If I enable USB debugging will I get this prompt again? Is it even possible to get this prompt again?
I've tried looking all over for an answer, but it's kind of difficult to word in a search. I've been just pulling the plug, and I'd really hate to damage my precious SR!
Thanks, y'all

When you plug the usb in pull down the menu on your phone and it'll give you the option to connect usb. Just Swype down from the top of your screen.

I think CM10 and 10.1 have USB OTG which means you don't have to allow/disallow it anything. Just pull the usb cord and that's it.

Excellent, thanks!
I don't have this device but when you install JB, it use MTP mode as default, which is a Microsoft transfer standard. MTP mode allow you to use the phone storage space (and Sdcard) while transferring at the sametime, for example, if you have apps installed or files on your Sdcard they will still be accessible while plugged in. You can unplug it anytime and there are less chances of files corruption. However MTP also have its limitation such as being retarded.
The other mode is USB MSC (aka UMS aka usb mass storage) which we're familiar with. You could pull the chord with this mode too since its really how USB transferring is designed, but it's better to safe remove first to prevent corruption.
USB debugging is something different which allow ADB access, which I recommend turning off when not in use for security. It should work with both UMS and MTP mode.
USB OTG means on the go, which allow plugging in USB peripherals such as flash drives and is only available for phones that have both the hardware and kernel that support it. Sometimes you also need additional mounting software such as Stick Mount.
Some phones allow you to switch between UMS and MTP mode. Most newer ones running JB only have MTP mode and donot allow UMS mode at all, such as Nexus devices and Galaxy SIII. Also if the device only work with MTP you will not be able to mount USB storage to your PC while in CWM.

I am trying to connect it to my LED TV via USB through 'USB Mass storage' option. it gets connected i.e. i am to see the contents in the memory card on my tv screen, but after 4 to 5 seconds it gets disconnected. i think there is some problem in the phone which is preventing the connection for a extended time period.

No dude, this ideally should be a functionality of any phone with memory card (mass storage) provision.
1. i tried connecting my old nokia phone (express music) to my TV's USB port, by selecting the mass storage connection in the phone setting and it works. same way my friend's HTC phone also works with my TV.
2. when you select the USB mass storage, the phone memory card is treated just like any other pen drive storage.
3. even my i9003 gets connected in this way, but it get disconnected immediately after the connection is established.
there is some process in the phone that terminates the connection with the TV, dont know what it is....

Well.... Odd enough. When you say the phone turn into storage device, why I never experienced this problem on computer? Probably because lack of the USB Driver.

well the connection gets disconnected soon enough beccause of the conflict created between the internal and external storage of your device.. this is something you should know.... As LoLa said this is not possible for I9003 but still if you wanna try your luck then I suggest you to remove your SD card and then connect to TV and see what happens
Hi, i have a problem that i think is because of partition of our P20 phones. I have a stereo car player with USB connection to play music from a usb device and works fine, but when i try from internal storage of my P20, it not recognize my files.
I think this is because type of partition of P20.
Any of you know a solution to use our phones as external storage?
Of course i choose option "file transfer" on usb options instead only charge.
Thanks!
