[Q] Use phone as a USB device in OSX?

When I connect my phone to my mac, it only shows up when I have kies running. I can't see it as a usb storage device like I can on windows. Is there a way to fix this?

I figured it out. I'll list the steps in case another OSX user needs help.
1. Enable USB Debugging mode (Settings > Applications > Development > Enable - USB Debugging
2. Connect your phone to your computer.
3. On your phone, bring down the drop down menu and select the USB connection, then click enable.
4. You should be able to use your phone as a USB storage device, now.

If you have the adb stuff driver running then you cant connect in data transfer mode usb.
Or
you need to uncheck the USB debugging mode before connect the usb cable

if you have a wifi router you might like the "airdroid" App... i use it a lot ckeck it out

[Q] MTP device use w/ root

My ****ty car stereo won't recognize my phone with it rooted. When it's on stock and it uses the "MTP" for data transfer it will work. Are there any flashable zips that will change it back to MTP and still keep my rooted ROM?

Go to Settings -> Applications -> Debugging -> Disable USB debugging.
Wording may be a bit off, but that is from memory. When you turn on USB debugging, it disables MTP.

Thanks dude. I'll give it a try

[Q] How to deactivate automatic Dataconnection when USB is plugged in

with ICS ( KA10 and Arconium ICS 1.1) i got a problem , when i connect my Phone to my Computer with USB , it automatically locks SD-Card for File Access from the Computer, how can i disable this feature? I just want to charge my Phone on the PC!
Thanks!

I have the same problem on the official ICS (.562)
I often charge the phone by the computer-usb, and each time, it mounts the SDcard to be available for the computer
I saw that there is a service USB connectivity and storage capability in the running services...
I unplug the USB, kill both services, and plug usb, then:
the service USB connectivity is running again, and SDCard is so plugged to the computer.
Problem in the option Connectivity (Xperia menu), we just have: MTP or MSC
(we don't have option "do nothing, and let me choice" )

seems like we are the only with this problem..

I installed the ROM arconium v2.0, and had the same result. I asked them why, and they gave the simple solution :
it's because we are using the MSC mode (mass storage).
To change it into the MTP mode (multimedia transfer):
Settings > Xperia™ > Connectivity > USB connection mode > MTP
It's better when we choose the correct options

I had this annoying problem too when I tried ICS and sadly changing the connection mode to MTP is not a solution for me since Sony messed up the protocol and doesn't work on Linux at all.

Thank you! I'm on official ICS and I was getting annoyed with this.

Solution I proposed need, when you want to plug your SDCard to the computer, to go each time in the menu Xperia to select the corresponding option (MSC <> MTP).
It doesn't correspond to that I needed, because I'm using a widget which allow to do this by one-click (like widgetsoid).
So, to keep this one-click ability, I finally freezed (with Titanium backup = root needed) the services 'USB capability' and 'Storage capability'.
Now, only my widget is activating/disactivating the USB
-> but be carefull: you can do it by a widget, but the option is not displayed in the toolbar and the menu anymore...

Little remark after some days of use:
To keep this one-click ability with a dedicated widget, only 'USB capability' has to be freezed. No need to impact the service 'Storage capability'.
