Hello all
After updating my phone to JB yesterday, I cant seem to mount usb-storage from within sense. Before (on ICS) i got choice of either Charge or USB-disk.
Now I get a new HTC Camera icon in my win-xp and a new CD-station drive..
And when I click on it, it asks me to put a disk in it.. Wierd.
I am using same HTC drivers i always been using. Version 1.0.7.0, date 27.08.2008
Did u install newest HTC Sync Manager?
Should work out of this disk drive, navigate to this with e.g. windows explorer.
Then u can set windows explorer to autostart "One X" when connected.
Also e.g. TotalCommander finds the Storage in Computer/HTC One X/internal storage.
LG, Helmut

In JB, It comes out in MTP something can provide double-mount in device and pc. If you can not get access to the sdcard dir from pc, just update(or install) htc sync in your pc and it will be ok.
On the off chance you are on XP it just won't work with MTP still looking for a fix lol! Getting redundancy money in January so will probs just get a new laptop lol!
I know about the new sync manager software, but it sucks donkey balls.
Before the JB update it just connected to my pc (windows 7) and Dropbox autouploaded every new photo i have on my phone.
Now that doesn't work anymore and the only way to sync my photo's is via this sync manager program, which sucks...
And then something else: I can't seem to get the screen on my phone where it says "charge only, diskdrive, etc..."
When I press the USB connected thingy in the notification bar it goes straight to portable hotspot & tethering options..
ROM = ARHD 12
Did you update through OTA ?
If so could you help me here:

I "solved" it. Short version: Went back to ICS (ViperX rom, much better and functional than JB at this point).
First try to solve it: HTC Sync.
It worked but then everytime i connected phone, HTC Sync popped up with no way to disable it (option to not launch sync did nothing).
MTP file transfer speeds sucks donkey balls too. And you can only do 1 operation at a time. And image browsing sucks. MTP just sucks.
Second try: Windows 7 upgrade
Atleast didnt have to have htc sync installed, which was a bit better. But MTP is still inferior experience than usb ms.
Third try sollution: ICS
Flashed faux 011m kernel, downloaded and flashed Viper X rom. Problem gone.

From what I know, that setting is gone "thanks" to MTP. With MTP it is no longer need to dismount SD-card from phone when giving usb access, but in return you get slower and convoluted file transfers.
i am having the same problems i cannot mount usa via recovery and i cannot access my sd via usb.. also i dont see how you call that a fix to the problem by going back to ics thats not a fix
any help to how to solve this problem would be greatly appreciated..
Same problems on the HTC One S. I think it's bull**** how HTC is doing this mounting in JB. It's retarded.... Any way to fix this and get a decent mount (besides mounting in a recovery or going back to ICS...?)?

I know. Sense 4+ is really aggravating me and I would like to, it's just that on the One S, there are a few thing that aren't as good on Sense (IE: battery, camera, and others...). Was just wondering if there is a fix that anyone knows of. My main issue is to get iSyncr working. The connection keeps corrupting after a short amount of time because MTP is terrible.
Can't fix b/c its not really broken

Its already been said, but just to be clear, there is no fix because this is the way its supposed to work now (this is the payoff for not having a removable sd card - you can access your storage from the phone and the pc at the same time).
Maybe you could try uninstalling HTC sync (including drivers) and re-installing (then delete sync again to just keep the drivers if you don't like sync).
That's the set up I have and I'm not running into any problems transferring files back and forth between phone and pc
Yeah, its really annoying me now because I have loads of information, invoices, photos all trapped on my phone sync won't work and well there's no ad card to remove.

If you're on custom recovery, you can connect your phone that way. That's maybe not the best solution for every day, just if you really need something to get from the device, but it's still better than "you-can't-touch-my-internal-storage-use-Zune-instead" on WP7...
Cheer I will try that

Can anyone tell me if this is possible and how? I have Bell GS3.
You should be able to.
First, enable NFC in setting for two phone, then put the back-to-back, and tap whatever file you want to transfer.
But in my experience, I transfer files between my S2 and S3, it is really really slow. Text file or link is super fast, but picture or anything heavy is painfully slow.
I've tried that with a gs3 on AOKP and a stock gs3 but it keeps trying to open the google play store. The files don't seem to want to transfer. Is it my settings or am I doing something wrong? Is it cause of Samsung proprietary software?
Hi guys - long time lurker, first time poster.
My question is, does anyone have any little grievances with the stock note II software? I've owned android devices before, but ditched them for iOS a year or so ago, back when android was still a hot mess. I definitely believe it's caught up to iOS in terms of stability, performance, and smoothness. I finally feel like android is finally finished enough where I'm ready to take the plunge and pick up a note II.
Things that have driven me mad from previous android phones: audio lag / stuttering, stock software crashing/stuttering, the phone not stopping your music when you pull the headphone plug and blasting audio (even for a half second) through the speaker, stupid pop-up boxes that inform you you've either started or completed charging, etc. etc. etc.
Lazy, stupid developer decisions like this drive me absolutely mad and make me leave a platform that I otherwise consider superior. I want to be happy with stock until a stable CM10 comes out.
Therefore, is there anything like this that happens with the stock note II at all? Thanks - on the fence!
You no longer get a pop up window verifying charging is complete, you do get a notification in the Status Bar though - either connected or finsed.
Audio Lag / stuttering hasnt been around for a while, I remember that in the OG Droid but havnt seen it in along time, I guarantee you that you wont find anything to stutter up the note.
Depending on the application, audio will stop when headphones are removed. Pandora / Stock Music Player / Netflix.. HBO Go - Xfinity - CineM all continue to play when unplugged. " hope that helps"
Battery Life on the Note 2 will blow away any other device out there outside possibly the Razr Maxx "Havnt compared"
Random System crashes are non existent on this device, especialy if you stay stock. Of course going with any customer ROM you can expect something .. I devvelop roms and I promise you, there is ALWAYS room for error, however with that being said, there is always room for error on stock as well.
Overall, I can see why you may have left Android in the beggining, however I will say that Android 4.1 is buttery smooth and I have not experienced any issues as of yet. I am a power user from he** and cant throw enouhg at my phone yet.
oddly enough my biggest complaint with the note II is that it is harder to "share" stuff than on the S3.
on the S3 you have a little SHARE symbol and next to it you have a "default" service that takes you directly into that (and its separate for different media types so youtube is default for example for sharing video)
just tap that and boom your sharing. but on the note II this is gone. you have to tap the share icon and OF COURSE the ones I use imgur and youtube are all the way at the bottom so I have to scroll down and THEN select where I want to share it too. this is surprisingly annoying now that I know "IT CAN" be much easier.
I REALLY want that quick access default icon from the S3 on my Note II. badly.
Here is the Note II see where it says Share Via - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - but on the S3 it looks like this

Video calling seems to be broken
I have noticed that I cannot make video calls with the apps that I've tried. Neither Skype or Fring work on the Note 2. By work I mean I can see the video from the other person, but they cannot see me. Interestingly Google+ hangouts did work, and I have yet to try tango.
I did reproduce the error on an in store Note 2, so I don't think it's just my phone. I'm just running stock rom, not even rooted. It doesn't work over 3g or wifi. I tried connecting to an iphone 4s and a galaxy s III, I could see both of them they could not see me.
I would also like to gripe about the "buddy" pages. I want to be able to edit the icons in that bottom row to be more useful for my purposes. In the headphones buddy page I want to add my video apps, and they do show up over time but it varies based on what I'm using most often. I want to choose to set them.
I have been able to run Skype. I did it as a test as I don't normally and all was fine.

2 grievancies that have been noted but no solutions that I'm aware of!
First is the poor commumication between the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (AFTER ROOT) and my PC. I always get Hardware ID Missing which in turn makes it hard to transfer files from my computer to my phone and vice versa since the PC won't recgnize the phone,
and,
Second, is that I can't view my photos as photos from my phone on my PC. My PC goes into the DCIM or photo folders but can't just load the pictures. I must click on each JPG icon to see what the picture is.
I wish that someone would come up with a program that can be a mass storage transfer instead of the MTP.
So far, everything I have seen with this MTP is not good at all.
THOSE are MY grievences!
its worse that that wascapsfan
first your root issue is a new one. I rooted mine ZERO issues with hardware id stuff ?? so something is hinky on your end
back to the pictures YES the MTP protocol is truly horrible. you have ZERO file access on the device. NONE. 100% of all actions result in the file having to be COPIED to the PC first before you can even so much as look at it. no thumbnails no live view NOTHING
this is not a note II issues its a samsung issue with Jellybean and its horrible.
You can't even MOVE files on the SD card. it has to copy them to the PC and then copy them back to the card. takes a freaking eternity and it hard core sucks. big time.

I initially had the Hardware ID error when connecting my phone to my Windows 7 PC as well. I am not rooted, for the record. As odd as this sounds, I solved the problem by removing the drivers for the phone from the PC. After that, it connected fine.
I will add, though, that the drivers are still installed on my work laptop (because I need adb drivers to tether) and it connects just fine to that. All this combined leads me to believe that it is a driver conflict error with some of the other drivers/files on my home PC. I could probably narrow down where the exact cause is, but I just don't care enough to do it since I have found a usable workaround for my situation.
If you still need ADB drivers, I would still suggest uninstalling and seeing if the phone is recognized without the drivers. Could just be a bad install of the drivers, which is something that happens when you use Windows.
On the subject of MTP, I have to agree that I would like to be able to preview photos as well. While I can move them freely (not sure why you wouldn't be able to), not having previews is mildly annoying. It isn't as convenient as seeing the previews in Explorer, but going to the folder, hitting Ctrl-A, and selecting Preview from the context menu at least lets me see the pictures without having to copy them to the computer.

I'm still not understanding the Hardware ID missing thing. I had my first SGN2 for 13 days and it had this trouble only AFTER I rooted. It was fine and had not one issue prior. I gave it back and Sprint gave me another one. No issues UNTIL I rooted.
Install the drivers, then remove the drivers, then reinstall the drivers, etc..... It's not me, I know that is for sure.
Trust me you CAN NOT move them "freely" you just THINK you are moving them.
when you move a few photo's you don't even notice. trying moving 9gigs of photo's and let me know how it goes.
when you MOVE a file in MTP you not MOVING it. the process is like this.
it copies the file from the phone to your computer.
Deletes the file on the phone.
Copies the file from the computer back to the phone
deletes the file on the computer.
this is why MOVING 9 gigs from one folder to another (which should take 1-5 seconds tops) takes the same time as copying 18gigs. because it has to do it TWICE. so in essence it really IS moving 18 gigs. (same files twice)
this means you CAN NOT "access" any files ON the MTP device "live" it has to copy them to the PC first before you can "interact" with them beyond properties or renaming.
its an absolutely HORRID interface.
you can not even LOOK at a picture on the device you have to COPY it to the PC first. when you access a file its just DOING this for you in the background without you knowing it.
you finally "know it" when you try to perform an operation that should take 5 second and it takes 41 minutes. (move mp3's from one folder to another)
this also means using the phone as a drive is no longer feasible. I used to plug the phone into the computer and PLAY a video from the phone on my laptop screen (using the phone as a usb drive) and at the same time I get a charge.
now I can't even do that I have to COPY the file TO the computer first and THEN watch it.
At least you Windows people can somewhat access your files. On both my Macs neither my SIII or NoteII are recognized in any shape or form. I have to use a wifi explorer app, or unmount and stick my sd directly in the comp. Dunno why they changed from Universal Mass Storage which worked completely fine...
cause they are MORONS. no other reason is valid in my book. morons.
I have the hardware ID error too. From what I've read about it, people are seeing that after installing the Samsung drivers from ToolKit prior to rooting.

Not to derail the thread, but aren't there two easy potential workarounds for this?
1. Use Dropbox/Goggle+, enable automatic upload of camera shots. Photos will be available instantly on home computer. Yes, you're not manipulating the phone images directly, but you've got direct access to copies of the files.
2. Save photos to SD card, pull card and put in card reader. Direct access to files.
True, accessing via USB cable would be nice alternative to have, but it's not like we don't have options.
Grievances with the stock OS ROM/software:
-Intentional gimping of the multiwindow menu by Samsung. Damn it I should be able to put any app I want to in that menu. Plain and simple. Most work in multiwindow just fine. Further, that damn toggle should have transparency be default...NOTHING more annoying than reading something and having text obscured due to idiotic UI.
-Intentional gimping of stock Touchwiz to forbid any selection/addition/subtraction of quick controls in the status bar. NO reason for it. Zero zip nada.
-Kies software. Neat idea. Works pretty well...but gawd, why did they have to build it on the steaming pile of insecure poo known as Java? I would love to permanently delete Java off my computer and Kies is the one reason I have to keep it.
-Gimping of AllShare etc to prevent non-stock ROMs from using media hubs etc. No reason for it. I don't have a hub or use one...but I hate gimping by design.
-Sammy Appstore is all but pointless as of now...there's nothing on it worth it eating space on my device.
-Sprint Connection Optimizer is also crap IMHO.
In the grand scheme of things these are somewhat minor complaints.
Well, lets see?, .....no, no grievances.
For those having issues with the Hardware ID error, I did thread on a partial solution: Linky. Unfortunately, it doesn't give access for ADB, but good enough to access the microSD for file transfers
I haven't had any OS crashes or random reboots. I think I had one boot loop. I did have an issue with the 4-1 power menu with a reboot, but it was a known issue
Overall, the stock firmware is very stable and solid.
I don't have any complaints. Although, S-pen applications are quite limited. Not surprising since this is only the second device with it. Throw in that styluses aren't exactly common in use on the Android platform, or mobile in general. I assume more will come later.
Battery life is good considering the screen size. The only time I'm burning through battery is when I use an MHL adapter, which is a lot at work.
The nice thing, since this phone is on all the major carriers, plus an international version, we'll probably see quite a bit from the developer community.
So I don't get my note 2 until January, but regarding the inability to see files when connected with USB... had anybody tried the app Software Data Cable?

Grievances? Yes, R.I.P. Apple.
This has been plaguing me for way too long! I couldn't get my S3 to connect with my Mac. I thought the first ICS update did something to keep ATF from reading my phone. I finally found a solution for getting Android File Transfer to work on my iMac with my Galaxy S3 even after the Jelly Bean update and on a custom ROM. I'm currently running Wicked JBv1, but I'm pretty sure this will work even if you're on stock or with any custom ROM. I found this solution in the Tmobile forums and I give the credit to user dk123 for posting it. I'm running OSX Lion by the way.
First make sure you remove the Kies software from your computer. I used appZapper.
Then I removed ssuddrv.kext from System/Library/Extensions. I made a copy of the file first and saved it in my documents just in case something goes wrong.
Before reconnecting my phone i made sure to check USB Debugging and when I reconnected it AFT found my phone instantly.
I don't know how helpful this may be, but I've been wondering for months why ATF wasn't working. It's still not the most user friendly way to connect your S3 to your Mac, but at least I can move music files over fairly easily without having to use the crappy Kies Software. I hope this helps even just one person.

Kies Air is the s&%$.
Use AirDroid app. All you need is your computer and your phone on the same Wifi network and a browser.

That is a pretty good program, but my music library is a little on the large side. I like the quick use of AFT for moving ROM downloads or moving pictures off my phone. Small stuff. Kies is just way too slow and klanky on my machine.

:laugh::laugh:
:laugh: I nearly cried/ That's brilliant. We were in a parallel universe, you and I with the android/mac connectivity and yes Kies really isn't geared for Mac users. ATF is clunky but certainly productive, And it would seem, the only way around the problem since Apple have fallen out with, well, most every other competitor, Especially Samsung given their legal arguments the last couple of years. Amyway, I'm waffling. Just wanted say thanks for the detective work and the solution.
Hello, I am having a problem with my note 3 where if I access it from my computer (through usb 3.0), trying to create folders or rename anything causes the explorer window to freeze without accomplishing anything. I've seen posts about this before on here but without any solution. Does anyone have any idea of what I can do to fix this? Clearly most people do not have this problem. I will update if more information is needed.
I'll add that I am not sure if the problem actually lies with the phone or my computer, however I have never experienced this with anything other than my phone, including of course external hard drives.
WiFi File Transfer can help

I have been having the exact same problem with my Note 3, as recently as last night. I connect the device, the computer recognizes it, and I can browse the files/folders, move things around. But if I try to rename a folder, it just freezes. Actually, sometimes it freezes when I try to copy files too. I have no idea why.
I found a way to get around it, but it involves using the WiFi File Transfer app from the Play Store. The app is excellent. You install it, and then just type in the URL it gives you in your web browser. You can do everything you would normally do with your device (transfer files, rename folders, delete files, etc). There's both a free and a pro version. I bought the pro because it was such a useful app. Link below:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smarterdroid.wififiletransferpro
(Hit the thanks if it was helpful. )
I have always had this problem.
It's something to do with how the phone is mounted to the pc. They changed it a few yrs back.
So I now just use wifi tranfer app. It's fast and I don't have to plug up the phone every time I need a file.
And I think it's freezing because it's re reading the phone and taking to long and timing out or something.

But if I try to rename a folder, it just freezes. Actually, sometimes it freezes when I try to copy files too. I have no idea why.
I found a way to get around it, but it involves using the WiFi File Transfer app from the Play Store. The app is excellent. You install it, and then just type in the URL it gives you in your web browser. You can do everything you would normally do with your device (transfer files, rename folders, delete files, etc). There's both a free and a pro version. I bought the pro because it was such a useful app. Link below:

I have always had this problem.
It's something to do with how the phone is mounted to the pc. They changed it a few yrs back.
So I now just use wifi tranfer app. It's fast and I don't have to plug up the phone every time I need a file.
And I think it's freezing because it's re reading the phone and taking to long and timing out or something.

Hmm, interesting. Have either of you tried AirDroid? I haven't tried the software you guys linked yet but judging purely by the play store page, AirDroid looks like it functions and looks better. Anyway, I was aware of that option and AirDroid is what I'm using right now but I still find it annoying to have to switch from one to the other. I was hoping there would be an easy fix.
Am I allowed to make two questions in one thread or should I make another thread?
just user airdroid drag and drop or just dont rename folders

Yes, I have tried Airdroid a couple of times, as recently as last week. WiFi File Transfer is much simpler to use IMO, which is exactly what I was looking for. But i'm sure that either would work for what the OP is looking for.
mine also does that on PC, have to retry several times till it stops hanging explorer
