I was wondering if there was some way to mount both internal and external sd card via Usb cable. I currently use Sgs3 ums app but it mounts only the external sd card. I don't really like the mtp as whenever i try to transfer videos from pc, it asks me most of the time that its not compatible nd if id want to convrt nd transfer.. Which i find pretty annoying. :-\

Just be glad you're not on a Mac. I can't mount anything. I have to use Airdroid and Dropbox, or take my memory card out of the phone, put it in a card reader and mount it that way.
Never used Mac!Even with windows i can only mount the external sd card that too by configuring a third party app SGS3 UMS !
So its not possible to mount both of them? W/o MTP?

Got a free G2 from a friend and when i plug it into the computer it doesn't give you the option on the phone to connect to computer it does display USB debugging. My computer doesn't recognize there being any kind of storage drive there but does see the phone under devices. The internal storage displays 1.16GB available. Not sure where to go with this and any help would be great.
Internal storage is preferring to the system partition which is not mountable on a computer, well not on windows anyway.
if you have debugging turned on and the computer recognizes that its a good sign.
is there an SD card in it? You should be able to mount an sdcard no problem (formatted to fat32)
Maybe I'm not sure your question but everything sounds normal
Also you may need to install the proper drivers

I know the drivers are good because i have a htc amaze also and they are the same. If i put a sd card in it i can see that on the computer but i cannot mount just the phone on the computer it doesnt even show up in my folders under my computer. I dont even get a notification on the phone that its connected to the usb only the debugging icon
I've never been able to mount my g2s internal partition on my computer, windows doesn't read/write ext partitions anyway. Haven't used my Linux box in a while but I don't remember being able to mount it, at least not as a storage device.
Only SD card mount (fat32 partition) fastboot and adb mounting for me

OK if you go into your Storage settings this is what is list: SD Card- Total space: unavailable, Available: Unavailable
INTERNAL Storage-Available space: 1.21GB
That just doesnt seem normal no ext sd in the slot just the phone itself cannot be mounted on the computer i have a HTC amaze and a Samsung Vibrant they can be seen without a sd card in them
P.S. Sorry just trying to understand this phone lol and get it working
Either SD card is bad or SD slot is bad, you can try reformating card or performing a factory reset and see if that helps. Try other SD cards, if all else fails than you probably need a new sd tray, about 15$ on eBay and takes 15 min to install

First of all, I'm just a noob to android system. I like the way android treat internal and external storage while connecting to PC as mass storage drive in Gingerbread. However it was replaced by MTP in JB.
Is there anyway I can restore this function?
I've tried search the forum and this solution might have been working:

But this is too difficult for me to deploy. I'm wondering if there's any other way to do that?
Thanks in advanced.

This mounts your external SD card in UMS mode. It has been tested and confirmed working on note II. I use it myself. It requires root. The internal storage however is out of the question.

thanks for the tips. im now using this amazing app for long time. the disadvantage of this app is it can't mount both internal and external sd simultaneously, which is useful for me, while in the system version of Gingerbread

Which has a initd SD swap.
ON Mounts the ExtSD as a drive (in osx).
OFF lets AFT do its thing.
I don't suppose you have a solution for mounting the internal storage under Mass Storage mode, do you? I've got a card reader for the Micro SD if I just really need it, but MTP really sucks when I'm relegated to using it for internal. Thanks!

I use the internal for nothing! It is usless. That IS my solution.
So I am using the infamous v4 Rom and I have been happy with it. I used the usb mass storage enabler app for the first time. After transferring my fines, I ejected the sd card and disconnected the phone. I then switched the phone back to mtp mode. This was when all the problems started. Now my apps can't find my sdcard but the es file explorer and gallery can see the sdcard fine. When I unmount the sdcard and remount it, I will get the message sd card damaged try reformatting it. I did a full reformat, not the quick one. Still says damaged when I mount it. Doesn't make sense that the file explorer and my computer sees the card fine but some apps says the card is missing.
What did you format the card too? FAT32?
yes, i formatted it as fat32

Hello,
I have been unable to move my apps to the SD card. In app manager there is an option to do so, but I am unable to select it. Do I have to format my SD card as internal storage to do so ?
Thanks in advance.

also note once you change your externalsd to adoptable storage the it wont show up on your pc when you connect your phone to pc via usb
also note while you are converting to adoptable or back to external storage it does take sometime don't force reboot your device else your sd card would get corrupted

It's actually internal storage that won't show up on PC after, it weird that way, you'll see the card just fine. In twrp you still see both though when connecting.

Anyone know the best source for chapter & verse on the changes to storage management on Nougat?
I'm not yet using adoptable storage because I keep a large music library on SD and find it orders of magnitude faster to update it on PC. But now the option to move apps to SD card is gone in Nougat, I'm wondering if I should move to adoptable storage...
