Hey there
Is there a way to access my phone's SD card when only connected via wifi? At best mounting the SD card as a drive like in usb mode. (tricking the phone into thinking it's on a cable, maybe?)
This would be so superb
Cheers
It's not exactly what you asked for but I use SwiFTP, I can browse in Firefox quite easily.
See this thread.

Its the extended desire console. The part you want to use is the samba share.
When you have this installed you can access your desire the same way you would access files on another computer over your home network.
Search the market for WiFi File Explorer. I bought the Pro as its cheap... works perfectly!

As above I am trying to get the Bluetooth working with my HTC Desire HD and pc running Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit but on pairing Windows searches for the Bluetooth device driver but cannot find it.
I was wondering if anyone knew the solution to this please?

i'm running Win 7 Professional x64 and have no problems.
does your pc recognize other bluetooth devices?
is the DHD visible? (Check the settings in android)
which bluetooth stack/card/whatever are you using?
DN41
In device manager I have a yellow notice next to Bluetooth Pererapal Device and on boot up Windows can't find the driver. I have tried updating the driver through device manager but it can't find it.
My built in Bluetooth on the memory card reader on the pc works fine with other phones say for example the Sony Ericsson X10 the Bluetooth driver is on the cd that comes with the phone but you don't have a cd with the HTC Desire HD so I'm wondering where it is?

the only other thing i can suggest is to search this database for your vendor ID, it will give you detailed driver information
http://www.pcidatabase.com/
I've emailed HTC to ask about a solution for this, that site you gave has nothing listed for the HTC Desire HD.

you need to search for the vendor ID not the device..
Open Device Manager, Select the unknown device and right click to access Properties. In the Properties window click on Details tab and select Device Instance Id from the drop down. An alphanumeric string like this PCI\VEN_1217&DEV_7130&SUBSYS_012F1025&REV_01\4&6B16D5B&0&33F0 is the identification marker for the device. We only need to isolate the Vendor ID number (prefixed with VEN) and the Device ID number (prefixed with DEV). In this case, Vendor ID is 1217 and Device ID is 7130. now search them on that website, like the picture below. it will give you all the info you need to find the driver

I'm getting this as the alphanumeric string in Device Instance ID

after spending like half an hour searching the net, i think this is the driver you need i think you must download the "bluetooth device driver" for your pc/laptop model
http://www.driversforfree.com/dt_dm...1-usb-bluetooth-bt2-1-edr-device/drivers.aspx
Thanks for searching it's doing my head in also.
This pc already has the Bluetooth Device driver installed and its working with all my other phones fine, this is what I don't understand as to why this error is coming up.
I am able to transfer photos etc back and forth to pc using Bluetooth with the Desire HD now only for some strange reason still have the yellow exclamation mark in device manager under Bluetooth Peripheral Device which is for the Desire HD.
The Bluetooth card reader is a Dell Media Card Reader with Integrated Bluetooth Module (CAB-200) it doesn't appear to be listed in that site list but can obviously get it from Dell. This is a XPS quad core system with one of those built in media card readers with Bluetooth. Strange that the error is showing with the DHD when all other phones work fine.
Thanks for the help though I appreciate it a lot.
Edit: Still have the same issue even after all that, the Device Driver in that list doesn't work on that website, reinstalling the driver for my Dell Media Card Reader with Integrated Bluetooth Module (CAB-200) also made no difference.
To be honest I'm now finding Dropbox over WiFi to be a better option, quicker too for sending photos and video to pc than messing about with Bluetooth.
Will see what htc has to say as all my other phones work fine with that dual card reader and bluetooth on the pc.
Issue now resolved with Bluetooth.
I would honestly say transferring media is much better with using Dropbox anyway as its quicker than messing around with Bluetooth.

I have been to many forum looking for a way to connect sgs3 as a drive on my pc not as mtp also I would like to recover delete files from phone internal memory. I tried easy ums but it is only for extsdcard.
For mtp this may work.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23880938&postcount=35
And as far as I know deleted pics can only be recovered from external but someone else may know better
Sent from my SGS3 using Apple's patents
Someone on here made an app called MASS STORAGE. Saves you from fumbling with scripts. You'd have to search though. It has to be GS3 specific.
I tried the UMS app and I don't recommend it. Barely works, very buggy, can damage sd card
There is another thread somewhere in here that has a link to a recovery app that may work. The description led me to believe it works on mtp devices but I don't remember where the thread was and I don't feel like trying to find it on my phone. Just use the search option. You aren't the first to ask this question.

samba filesharing from the market works great over wifi , adds the phone and mem card into networks on your computer
Ok, I have had this phone for 2 days now, and still don't know how to get it to show up as a USB mass storage device. Is there something that I'm missing here?
I have all the updated LG software installed. All other connection methods seem to work. I have even tried a widgetsoid switcher to force the issue, but that didn't do it like it did on an older phone I had.
It would sure be nice if this was an option in the USB menu. How hard would that have been?

I am wondering the same thing. I got around it by using the MicroSD card in a card reader but it would be nice to do it though the phone.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think native support for USB mass storage was discontinued in ICS. Some companies still provide it but it's not natively included anymore.

Don't you just go to settings and then pc connection, just select media and then hit cancel when its trying to sync? Shows up as 25GB mass storage for me.

Do you mean the popup on the phone? "Autorun is running to check USB driver"? If so, I tried that, but no dice.
Sent from my LG-E971 using xda app-developers app
Go here http://www.lg.com/us/support-mobile/lg-LS970 and get the USB drivers. Uninstall the ones you have if they are not the exact same, then reboot. On the phone select PC Connection in the System Settings Menu. Set the USB Connection to Media Sync (MTP) and check Ask on connection. Leave everything else off. When you plug it in it will say its checking USB driver, just hit skip, and it should mount. It may mount and unmount, then mount again.
This works for me.
You should update Windows Media Player if running on XP

Those are the exact drivers I have.
I have this "sort of" working here on my home PC (Windows 7). When I am connected as MTP, the phone shows up in My Computer and Device Manager under "Portable Devices". I can go into the internal storage, and move, cut, copy, delete files, but it's not even perfect because if I want to do something as simple as open an excel file, modify it, and then save it, I can't. Windows instead asks me to save in some temporary directory because it lacks the capability to save the file directly on the phone. Which is a major hassle.
On my work computer (XP) I have these drivers installed also, and I have also installed WMFDist11-WindowsXP-X86-ENU.exe since it asked me to. Following the same steps as above, upon hitting skip, nothing happens. It never shows up as a removable drive or portable device.
There has to be an app for this or something...

Try dual mount widget.
Sent from my LG-E971 using xda app-developers app
Well, it physically cant be mount as USB storage device, cause it will ruin files.
Unlike many other phones, The G dont have the Storage Card partition.
All your files are stored in /data/media, and mounting entire /Data/ partition as USB Storage will ruin the OS cause its being used by it.
There a folder called /Sdcard/, but its just a trick for old android apps, so all this stuff still actually stored in /Data/Media/

wow, you're right, everything I sent to my phone shows up in the /sdcard folder and also in /data/media.
why on earth would they do this? one of the best parts of android phones was that they were essentially giant usb sticks.
is this an absolutely insurmountable hardware issue? or could a new ROM/OS fix it? what about an app for creating a partition?
First of all, they did it cause of usual lacking of free space for the apps. Now you can fill all 25gbs with games and other stuff.
Second, the FAT32 just too old and bad. Since the G doesnt use the FAT FS and SD card, G doesnt have the file size limitations, pretty stable and got high write speed (Must be class 20)
I believe its must be possible to run as USB Storage from the custom recoveries, when the OS is not running.

I imagine that it will be able to do that too, but that's not very useful on a daily basis. I need it when the OS is running.
I used to use my phone to take files to work with me and back so that I could open and edit them at home. I never dreamed they would get rid of that functionality.
so no app is going to be able to take some of that space and partition it as an sd card, then?
But you still able to do it, dont you?
The only limitation of the MTP - you cant execute files directly from PC.
Also there an app called File Share, which probably solving that issue by sharing via WiFi, not the mtp.

i'll look into File Share.
and yes, technically i can open an excel file, edit it, save to my PC, then copy the new version onto my phone, overwriting the old one. but that's a major step backwards from where we were at three years ago.
looks like File Share wouldn't really do it for me, as both the phone and the computer would need to be on the same wireless network.
at home I have a wireless network, but my PC is wired.
at work my laptop has wireless capability but there is no wireless network.
My phone can be a wireless network, though. So an app that would allow my phone and work laptop to share files through that network, would do the trick.
Or, I need an app that does the opposite of Link2SD. Link2SD takes some SD space and uses it as ROM. I need an app to take some ROM space and make a virtual SD out of it.
Does something like that exist? I bet if it doesn't, it will soon!
I really like Airdroid, simple to use, I use it on a linux computer wich is aweful about mtp file transfer, for my sister's S2. It might be an option to consider while other development occurs.

Hi everyone,
An iOS App called "DeskConnect" caught my attention because it is pretty neat at what it does. It allows you to send files from your PC/Mac to your, in this case, iDevice (or vice versa) over WiFi in a breeze. You just have to download the App on the computer and iDevice register with the same account on both devices.
My question is, is their an application similar to DeskConnect for Android? I'd like to download an App on my Mac and HTC One and be able to send stuff from my computer by just dragging what I want to send into the application and then receiving the document in the application on my phone.
I know I can probably connect my phone via USB and then transfer files like but I want to know if there is an easy way to do this over WiFi.
AirDroid is pretty cool for doing that.
For me sometimes a bit buggy though. (especially when transferring mp3)
Still in my opinion the best choice!
Everything runs over your browser.
Ps: the registration is only needed if you want to transfer files through the Internet rather than using your network.

PushBullet is what I use. But the limit for uploading a file is 25MB. I know some apps are bigger than that but it's worked well for me so far, light on the PC and phone, just runs on the browser as well.

I've been using WiFi File Transfer Pro for a good while now, it's very good..... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smarterdroid.wififiletransfer&hl=en
I would say Air Droid is best because you can also control your camera and have notifications displayed on the PC
Android has a lot better solution than that. You can install "Software data Cable" . Chose Sync and it create an FTP server. You just need to have a FTP client on your PC/Mac/Linux.
What's more, when the phone is not in wifi network, it can create an wireless Hotspot.

Activate WiFi Hotspot or connect phone to PC WiFi
open ES explorer >> tools >> remote manager >> click on Turn on Note ftp address >> Windows explorer >> address bar >> fill Ftp address from phone to bar & now you can access all files
