My understanding is that this is an issue that many newer ICS devices no longer have support for "Mass Storage mode" which is what you're referring to when you say "mount." The S3 uses what's called MTP which is music transfer protocol. It IMO sucks by comparison. They changed it for all the "special" people who think that voicing a button to mount a drive is too much work. The best way I've found is to stream it (which is a whole other ball of wax) or to just take out your memory card and put it in a usb micro sd drive. If anyone else knows a way to get mass storage mode (OTHER than using a custom kernel ) please let me know too!

Probably because the s3 uses mtp. It doesn't have the feature to see the phone as regular usb storage

Ok,any good way to stream mkv to jailbroken ps3?Or any good way to copy a file to ps3 without usb?

Which one? I tryed two and they were garbage.
I dont like installing and deleting too many things because it slows down your phone like windows.

With DivX plus codec software on a windows 7 pc you can stream it directly. You have to make sure your pc can see the ps3. I had to fiddle around a LOT to do it. My friend did it easily. I don't know why mine was so hard lol. Just MY luck. But my advice is to unload your video on your pc. Then stream it. Converting or encoding mkv takes forever. If you root your device. And install busybox there's a thread here on xda onshore to get back Mass Storage mode. I've been reading it after your post.

To save space I want to have my music in a flash drive. I can play individual songs but I want to know if there is way or an app that can shuffle songs that are on my flash drive if I have a folder with music only?

The only player that works with your requirement that I have tried is Poweramp. Winamp, etc. won't scan attached usb drives even though it is mounted inside /sdcard. Kind of weird I think. Will try jetaudio later when I get to my flash drive.

Jet audio will not scan flash drive
so far so good
Power Amp seems to work. I'm going to use a different flash drive and see what music it sees and see if the it saves the music on the device or not.
Hi guys,
Quick question can anyone recommend a decent car stereo that I can control my S3 with. I.e. select music to play from the stereo. My current stereo only plays once I've selected it on the phone. Bit annoying really.
Cheers in advance

I've been in car audio for 20 years.sure your car may have a doubledin unit, but you should be able to use a single din unit with an install kit.

This guy is right. I could recommend a kit with a cubby. I always have liked those more... I hate space without use.

+1 for the sony bt3900u. I even owned the previous model (stolen when car was broken into). I love this unit because the bluetooth is built in, connects instantly when i get into my car, and sound quality is excellent
Cheers guys I'll check this out
Thanks

Does this allow you to browse the files on the phone with a file explorer?

Play Music -> A2DP support = Problem solved.
Browsing the files on the phone from the headunit would require you to mount the device as a USB drive. This is not actually possible over bluetooth (or has never properly been implemented?) and if you would like a function like that you can get a headunit with a usb port and plug your phone directly in via that port.

Hi Ricey
It maybe worth checking out the SONY XAV 601BT Its a double din touch screen stereo that utilises Mirrorlink technology built into the Galaxy S3 so you control your phone from the touchscreen on the stereo.
A few forum members including myself have this and we have a big discussion about it (with photos) here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1837847
hope this helps
Dan
Now that someone cracked the appradio2 to mirror android phones it seems by far the best unit out there IMO. Big thread on xda about it just search

Not entirely true.. some have it all integrated. I know its stock, but in my gf's POS 2012 Fusion, has sync and it sees the phone and can control the tracks, playlist and such all from the vehicle's controls. And no, it does not have nav.
I am sure there are some aftermarket that have similar capability.

I have been wanting to try this Parrot head unit, but I haven't seen one in use yet. I gotta say, it has a ton of neat features...
http://www.parrot.com/usa/products/bluetooth-hands-free-car-kits/parrot-asteroid
I am converting over to a double din system, for a big ol screen, but if I wasn't, I would probably go this route.
It really depends on how much you're willing to spend... I recently had my car broken in to - headunit and sunglasses stolen bastards... wasn't anything flash, an Alpine cde-133bt (paid about $300 for it at the time, 8months ago) - did the job, through bluetooth was great, could control either via phone or the headunit (only next or previous song on the headunit if using bluetooth), and has the aux and usb ports.
Also depends on what set-up of speakers you have in your car if you need something of higher quality as well...

Anyone look into this? Thinking about pulling the trigger on this for my 06 GLI.. They claim it supports text on the head unit, and full control from the head unit and steering wheel controls..

The more I think about it, the more I think my next car stereo will be something like the Nexus 7 tablet.
http://www.androidcentral.com/nexus-7-makes-best-car-entertainment-system-ever
It's really only a viable option for higher end car stereos though, that have amplifiers.
Is there a way to get the Audio to go though Usb like iphones do? I found usb cables with the micro usb and 3.5 mm jack in 1. Just wasnt sure if it worked or not.
You have a link to this cable? And are u playing this music in the car? If so use sgs3 easy ums it can mount ur external sd card and all the music shows on the car screen I don't think it works for all cars though doesn't work in my accord but works in bmw

do you know where the albums ate located on the sdcard?
Once you find location on ur phone , plug phone via USB and have pc access phone as removable storage device.. Use any program such as Nero 11.10 or media player, and burn music to cd... PM if u still having issues.

If you go on the website on the upper right there is a downlaod button. When your on your pc. Just download which ones you want to your harddrive, and burn away. I do it ll the time.
