..I probably know the answer to this, but I figured I'd ask anyway.
Obviously the big thing on the nexus is the MTP feature :thumbdown:
Its slow and painful, not only can it not connect to other devices it just sucks. So.. before I pull out my hair, maybe someone has an option besides (DLNA!) they are horrible on the nexus and I have not used them since.
Mostly I'd like to connect this to my PlayStation 3, but unfortunately it uses USM like a normal device.
You ask why? Dlna is beyond slow and disconnects on me - I've tried them all. I want to copy music over, pictures and videos.
So as a last call.. is there something I can do?
P.s. I did try Stick Mount but this did nothing.

No, you can't make the Galaxy Nexus use USB Mass Storage.
Kinda figured that.. had to ask though.

If your pictures are on your micro SD card then you can just put that in another device and get the pictures off that way or get a micro SD to SD card converter on eBay.
Hope I helped!
i know this isn't really a how to fix it, but there was a thread somewhere i think that was posted in the in the general section that had the exact same problem. It was fixed by running a program where you control the phone with your computer... i think.. or it allowed you to display the screen of the phone on your computer... you can also try to use an mhl adapter.
sorry i can't help, but if you dig a little you might be able to find that thread. don't exactly remember how the exact process went, but it solved the problem

You're thinking of using a VNC server? That will do it but the problem is that he has to install it on his phone....wait but that a can be done via adb or desktop play store. He will have to do it over wifi in order to determine the IP of the device so he can connect to the server.

Can't you just connect the phone to your laptop via usb and transfer the pics?? Or am I missing something here

I got pics off my broken vibrant with Droid explorer. It does require root and USB debugging to be on. Thankfully I always left it on. You also need to set up adb on your computer.
Other than that I'm not sure. It took months of asking arOund and almost wiping my Sd with bad adb commands.
My phone broke and it took five months before figuring it out after giving up.

I think it was something like this.
I really can't remember the thread was like in January/February.
So OP hope you're up for some searching and hope you can find the correct terms to search with...
edit: found it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501169&highlight=mhl&page=2
it is droid explorer.
However, if you're not rooted yeah.... and if your usb debugging isn't on... yeahh....
if you think you can still control the screen... then try an mhl adapter. that may be your last choice besides replacing the screen.
I need to use Recuva on my T-Mobile S 3. I can't because it won't read it unless it has a drive letter.
Please someone create an app that will do this!
For the internal storage of course!
As far as I am aware people have been and are continuing to work on this. No ones figured out a way yet though. Only how to mount external storage has been done.
Sorry.

When I first got mine, everyone is saying USB mass storage is done for. As in it's a Samsung thing not a developers thing.

What do you mean by "it shows" You have a t-mobile SGS3 and it gives you the option for mass storage for the INTERNAL storage?
This means windows sees the device with a DRIVE LETTER assigned?
I got mine to work 1 time when I first got the phone and was able to copy all my music over, but haven't been able to duplicate success since

Can someone tell me what u mean by internal storage is it the 16 gbs that come with the phone? I connected my phone to pc and it shows the device and lets me copy my music over. Inm running windows 8 btw. However when I connect my phone with usb in my car it keeps saying unsupported anyone know how I can make my car read my music or is that related to the internal memory problem u guys are talking about

I recently dropped my Galaxy S3 and everything on it appears to function except for the screen. I have since recieved messages from clients and now can not read them. I need to get in touch with them ASAP however I am unable to view them. I have loaded them onto my PC via a back up with Kies and am given an .SME file which I have no ability to open. Is there anyway to open this file or view my messages?
I also own a HTC Evo that I could potentially load the messages onto, however Kies doe not recognize the phone.
I swear I have been researching this all day with no luck and have tried searching these forums to no avail. If this has been answered in the past and you could please direct me to the post or any help would be immensly appreciated.
Your best bet would to maybe go onto the sprint site / voice app on a pc, set up a google voice number, then direct everything to the google voice number, which could be picked up on the evo via wifi.
So you can see the screen but touch doesn't work? You can just plug in something like a Xbox 360 controller with a otg cable and control you phone that way.

No, the screen is completely black and I don't have a gaming system beyond PS2.

Are u rooted? Its not nessessarily required but would help here. And do you own another Android phone?I can help get them off the phone but not sure how ro read the db files it would spit out. Im also gonna guess no here but was usb debugging on?
I didn't just mean a 360 controller. If you have something like a mhl or micro hdmi you could remotely see you phone on a separate screen. Lots of things can be plugged into the phone.

For anyone with a Samsung phone or tablet, have you tried NFC transfers between it and your N7? I was able to transfer a photo from the N7 to my S3 but I'm unable send anything from the S3 to the N7. Both devices make the noise but nothing happens.
Are you guys able to make it work?

On my N7, I have NFC and Android beam turned on. On my S3, with NFC on and S Beam on, nothing happened - not even a sound. With NFC on and S Beam off, there was a sound from both devices but nothing happened. I don't see "Android beam" anywhere in the S3 settings.
Found the Android Beam setting in the NFC menu and got it to work. Thanks guys.
One more question...when I beam something, bluetooth toggles on for both devices. Is this normal?

I never noticed that. By my limited NFC knowledge, that's basically how all NFC transfers work besides S-Beam. I could be wrong so don't hold me to that info lol

It should only turn Bluetooth on if you're transferring a larger file (say an image or video file). NFC, while low power has a VERY slow transfer speed (about 53 KB/s at maximum). For example, if you wanted to transfer a 8 MB image, it would take around 2.5 minutes. Now it might not seem like a long time, but keep in mind you have to have both devices touching (or near touching) for that entire period.
Instead what Google has done is that when Beam detects that you want to send over a picture/video it will automagically turn on bluetooth, pair the devices, send the data and turn off bluetooth. Pretty convenient in my opinion.

Gotcha...the picture I was sending from my S3 to the N7 was a little over 2MB. The thing is, the bluetooth did toggle off after the transfer on my N7 but it did not toggle off on the S3. I guess Samsung does it a little differently?
One odd thing I've noticed is that while NFC transfers that activate Bluetooth work, I can't connect my N7 to the S3.

I had to turn Sbeam off at the samsung device,then it worked both directions.
My Nexus 7 sucks and doesn't send files at all. They all end in error.
I have noticed a couple of this on my Note II running JEdiX16:
1. If I beam a picture from my Note II's gallery app it sends me to the play store with a blank page that says, "file not found" or something like that. I think its trying to find the Galaxy Note II's gallery app.
2. I have the Jelly Bean gallery installed also, and that one works to transfer files.

I've also had that happen. But then it worked, I think I may of had to enable Android beam on one of the devices. Not sure if this fixed it or it just started working.
Double check you have Android Beam enabled on both devices.
Settings>More (or More Settings)>Android Beam and make sure it on.
Probably not what you're looking for but if you wanted to do a large amount of files via wifi-direct using NFC as the handshake, i use superbeam from the play store between my N7 and Evo 4G LTE and transfered a 560 meg folder of vacation photos without a hitch. Both devices have to have superbeam installed of course.
I also have an S3 and everything is fine for me. For file transfers, I love and highly recommend SuperBeam from the play store.

Hey all,
I'm dusting off an old Verizon Galaxy Nexus to use as a test / development device, but am having some difficulties with it that I've never experienced in the past. Right now the device is unlocked, but running the stock 4.2.2 ROM. When I go into the USB computer connection panel in settings, it shows the either or option of MTP or PTP, but even after selecting MTP, every time I leave the screen, or even rotate the device from portrait to landscape, the option always goes back to PTP. I have never seen this before, and so far my Google-fu has not turned up anything helpful.
Hoping someone out here may have some ideas of what is going on with it. I'd like to root / ROM it, but if I can't even get access to the device as-is, I don't know that attempting to root it in its current condition is going to be super helpful.
Thanks!
I've had a similar issue with my Nexus 7 (2013). I'd like to see a solution as well.
