Hi all ,Don't know if there's a fix or am I doing it wrong.Basically I've got xvid films on my Hox and want to play them through my Xbox360.
I'm getting as far as hooking the Hox to Xbox360 via USB but phones not being recognised. Please help........

i take it you set it to be in mass storage mode?
the hox goes into mtp mode i think - i couldn't get it to work with my tf300, same results that you got.
possibly to do with it mounting it as mtp device rather than just as a basic sd card
Yeah I selected mount as hard drive but no joy.
Do you or anyone have a workaround ?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
i've had a quick look just now, this indicates that android should be able to - i haven't tried it since tf300 jb update, so maybe it works on that now.
what you need, is support on the xbox 360 to read the mtp device. supposedly ps3 and xbox both have support for it, but theres a lot of others having troubles with the galaxy nexus (mtp) as well.
you could try using dlna? that would do what you need.. i've used imediashare lite (can't remember if it was on hox though) a while ago with decent results.
or failing the dlna method, you could use a mhl cable to connect it directly to your tv to watch the videos.

The Onex doesn't use mtp mode. It is mounted as a mass storage device so it should be recognisable

Nah the nexus 7 does.
Can clearly tell as with the n7 when plugged in shows as n7 in computer then within that is internal storage
Whereas the Onex once mounted is just listed like any other flash drive
It is weird why you can't get it to work though
I haven't personally tried with the 360 but when I have plugged it into my car head unit and mounted I have been able to navigate the storage and play music accordingly

Hi
To my great dismal, I only noticed after having bought the Galaxy Nexus, that it doesn't support USB Mass Storage (UMS) mode I've read Dan Morrils explanation, but don't subscribe to it - since I'm on Linux and since PTP and MTP don't work too well there (at least on my two Ubuntu 11.10 installations) his statement "On the whole it's a much better experience on the phone." is just plain wrong, as far as I am concerned. The pseudo SD Card in my "old" Nexus S worked totally fine…
Oh well… Enough for the rant…
I'm now looking for a ROM which allows to mount the device in good ol' USB Mass Storage mode. I read that the modaco ROM supports this - but only after a "rebake" (what's meant with this?).
Are there alternatives?
Thanks,
Alexander
same opinion!
I don't know if there are any

There is no sdcard, internal or not. There probably was on the S. The data partition and sdcard are one and the same. Sdcard is a symlink to data/media. Android does not support mounting individual folders as ums. So until someone devises a way to partition sdcard separately, you will have to live with mtp.

Which is not usb mass storage, which the thread deals with
I too wish there wish there was a mass storage option.
In my car - I get a constant connect/disconnect cycle when attempting to charge it via the auxilliary usb jack which renders the radio useless. Another car just failed to recognize the device and wouldn't read the directory structure, so couldn't play over usb. In both cases, iDevices work fine :/
PS - why are the captchas so darn hard to read on this forum?

Hey guys
So basically I have a Sony Handycam DCR-HC19E camcorder, and was wondering if i plugged it into my galaxy tab using the samsung usb adapter thing, will it recognise it and allow me to take and transfer files to and from the tab?
As i want to upload some videos to youtube but it wont work on my computer?
So im basically asking if anybody has got mass storage access to devices they have plugged into the tab 10.1
Thanks in advance for any help
Adam
I have a Sony dcr-sr100. It mounts to my galaxy tab 10.1 on stock firmware.
I have found that " high" powered USB devices are rejected by this tab, which is annoying. But i have found that how you connect the devices matter also.
E.g. if the adaptor is plugged in then i use my USB drive to the adapter is does not work.
If my USB drive is plugged into the adapter then into the tab it usually works, if not pull out and try again right away.
If you can get a powered USB hub, this will help for connecting more devices. Generic keyboard & mice work fine ( if not " high" powered)
USB mass storage otg app in the market will help to mount more drives at once and enable access to NTFS formatted drives which are not supported on the stock firmware.

I don't see much point paying more than this.
Also the " card reader" versions are designed to only mount one card at a time since that is how the stock device handles otg. But if you already have USB card reader your happy with, it can be used with USB mass storage OTG app from the market. ( Which also adds NTFS support).

I got the corded version, as I thought it was more risky using the "Block" style one that might break the connector 30pin if it was knocked too hard.
There is rick of the corded version breaking on the cable, but it is a cheap replacement fix.

I'm trying to connect my phone to my Father's Mini via usb, but the car does "see" the phone.
I've noticed that the check box for mass storage is greyed out and I cannot select it.
Does anyone have any good ideas for me to try out and get my gnex to connect?
For what it's worth, I'm using Liquid rom, and but my dad's HTC Desire HD running AOKP has the same problem, yet I have no problem connecting a BlackBerry.

your nexus will never have mass storage as the partition is 1 giant partition used by the system and used for storage.
You will never be able to use USB Mass Storage on the Galaxy Nexus. It uses MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) and PTP (Picture Transfer Protocol) to xfer files between the phone and a PC.
The reason why they use this is to provide the phone with 1 partition for the entire storage, rather than separate system, apps, data and media partitions. It also allows for the OS to be running while accessing the files.
MTP is much better than Mass Storage.

Thanks for the quick explanations. What I don't understand, is why the option is there under usb connections (in storage options). If the option is not available on our phone, why show it?
As far as MTP being better, it's not when you want to play music on a Mini!
I'm not convinced that MTP is my problem though, as my dad's phone (see above) will not connect either. Interestingly the option to select mass storage is not available on his HTC.

If so, what's the problem? there's no shortage of people who connect their nexus to their car stereo's (myself included)
Quick bit of clarification.
Yes it's a BMW Mini (2009)
Yes I did connect via Mass Storage on the HTC, yet it still did not work. It would not connect to an iPod Classic either. I wonder if it needs a special cable to connect? My wife's Seat Leon needed a dedicated cable to make it compatible with the car stereo.

As of now, Android does NOT support USB audio, which explains why the Nexus nor the HTC worked. Blackberries DO support USB audio, as far as I'm aware.

I think what he's getting at like myself I used my Evo to USB to car CD player and could access my music files and play them and I guess that's cause the Evo has a sd card. now with the nexus i cant that IM aware of.
It's very annoying that we can't use UMS anymore. I know it's great, to have only one partition but MTP just sucks. I wasn't even able to copy files from Windows 7. The only system that has worked for me so far was Windows XP Pro.
I'd rather have a well sized Internal storage plus some Mass Storage 8/8GB or so.
And well, I'm mainly a PowerPC Mac user. Android File Transfer crashes all the time when I connect the phone (seems to use Intel-Only libraries which is very typical for Google) and on Intel Macs it's slow as hell.
So I always had to use ADB which was......very comfortable.

Keep in mind that wanting to maintain two separate partitions isn't the only reason for wanting to switch to MTP. Another reason was so we no longer had to store our data on the fragile and limited fat32 file system. In order to emulate a fat32 block device over USB you would need to be able to translate between fat32 and ext4 at a low level. I don't think there is generally a 1-1 mapping between structures in the two file systems which would make this difficult and slow if not impossible.

I don't like MTP either, and was missing being able to use it as a Mass Storage. My biggest annoyance with MTP is that I can't get last modified date Windows Explorer
I've not had any problems copying files to/from my Galaxy Nexus from one Windows 7 system, but another didn't work until I installed the Samsung drivers (the MTP device came up with a "?"). What was the problem you had?

I'm not sure if that would work, but assuming it does, we then have to face the issue of the single partition storage that the Nexus has. If we were to mount it via UMS, the whole phone would become completely inoperable.

You can connect it without adb. There are countless guides on how to do it that can be found with a simple Google search
Use a ftpserver. MTP support on linux has never been really good. Stuff like mtpfs exists but it is slow, really really slow. Setup an ftpserver on your phone(search for it on play, there are several options) and connect to it on linux. Done

Why? So the phone and computer can both access the storage at the same time so apps don't FC when you use mass storage. It's been like this for 2 years now so a bit late to be getting angry!
It would be nice if you could have the choice between the two. Sucks I can't hook up to my car's media interface.

People that have problems probably don't have good drivers setup for their phone. I think the last time I had issue with mtp was note2 and I updated my Samsung USB drivers and all was well. Have pretty much done that first thing when I get a new phone now. Never had problems with nexus 4/5, note3, moto x and now HTC m8.

Driver issue ... on desktop side ?
There are MTP issues on phone side, and this is not driver related. On same hardware version, you can find a veriety of stock ROMs, with a veriety of behaviour.
Plus there is a specific case where MTP deeply sux. If you read ads about M8 on HTC.com, you will see ... this phone is wonderfull because it can read UMS devices. Now, use this to connect two M8 together ... nothing happens; because whatever you do (with your OTG cable), M8 will provide MTP, and expect UMS. So, in short, this phone is not even compatible with itself !!!
So, the question is not to know if drivers have been installed correctly on desktop (Windows, Linux, Mac, whatever you like ... BSD, QNX, Solaris, OpenVMS ... just to quote the ones that can boot withint 2m around me ^^ Oh, forgot my Octane; it's 3m away). The fact is that MTP sux; and in many case, UMS is a must have. OTG was one example (wired phone to phone);similar example would be phone to tablet: you need at least one device to perform UMS; if both are MTP only, you are stuck.
Some M8 do UMS with stock ROM, others don't.
In my thread, I gave alternatives for MTP and UMS.
Like I've said my problems have been few. And if I do need to connect phone to phone I prefer WiFi direct or Bluetooth. And I rarely hook my phone up to my laptop anymore. I use WiFi file transfer pro. About the only time I use it it to do my initial load up of 50-70gb+ of FLAC/mp3 more so because my phone won't lose charge while doing the massive transfer overnight. Then as I need to update or sync files I just use wifi file transfer pro to update. I don't see what the big deal is for PC's and such. But I do understand for use cases as car audio, the rare need to do phone to phone transfer because one/both users are less familiar with wireless transfer and I am sure there are more that I can't think of now. You would think somebody could've made an app that merged a file explorer and tricked os into doing ums, at the very least with micro SD cards. Internal would definitely be trickier and probably a lot of phones would be left due to the masses of different phones, skins and frameworks. I dunno. Hasn't been a problem for me at all really.
