As the title says: Is there a way to connect an MTP device to a Poco X3 via USB OTG? As in the X3 should be the host, the opposite of what happens when you connect in file transfer mode to PC
Mass storage devices (eg. a flash drive, external SSD) work just fine, but MTP devices (eg. another Android phone in file transfer mode, a Nintendo Switch in copy to computer mode) simply don't elicit any response from the X3
My question is, is there a way to get the phone to recognize these, perhaps by means of an app?
(I can root the phone if necessary, but I would rather keep this stock if possible mainly because it's a real pain to set everything up after unlocking the bootloader)

Hi All
Before opening this topic I have searched to find answers on my questions but no results.
I got Xoom WIFI MZ604
It is not rooted and was automatically updated to 4.0.4 version.
Now I have just received USB Hosting Cable and want to transfer files directly from my camera to Xoom device. Or from Flash Card or use Card Reader on Xoom.
But unfortunately I have only managed to use USB keyboard and mouse with this device and cable.
So my question is Do I need to Root my Xoom in order to use USB flash drive, Connect Camera and Transfer files, use card-reader?
As I have seen on Youtube people can see images in gallery once they connect camera or USB flash drive.
When I connect USB flash drive and Card Reader to Xoom, Tablet gives power to them and seems it recognizes but cannot access files.
I have tried File Explorer to see Flash from mnt but it doesn't work.
Any suggestions? I really do not want to go back to previous version of Android (I even don't know how to do it and if it is safe)
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
Sent from my GT-P3110 using xda app-developers app

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.

Thanks guys!
Hi
When I connect my phone via usb to my pc (running Ubuntu 14.04) it isn't mounted as a media device and I can't even connect to it via adb. However, if I chose the option to connect as a camera I can access the DCIM and the Pictures folders and use adb to access the whole device.
My previous phone (Galaxy S3) worked fine as MTP and still does.
Any idea what could be the cause? Do I have to install any special drivers?
Hi,
When I connect my phone in usb mode I see my SD card on my computer but not the phone's internal storage (latest HiSuite is installed). The MTP mode does not show all my folders and files that's why I really need to see the phone in mass storage mode.
Also, whenever I connect my phone to the computer, USB debugging mode turns on even though I disable dev mode. I tried factory reset twice and install/uninstall HiSuite but it still does not work.
That would be awesome to have some help.
Thanks
Can you guys at least let me know if you are able to connect your phone's internal memory in mass storage mode?

MTP mode should display all folders/files in internal memory. However, same as you, sometimes, the computer does not show all. What i do is just disconnect, then reconnect. Oftentimes, it solves the problem. If not, then i both restart the computer and the phone, then it will be ok.
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.
