"Dear Joseph,
Thank you for your inquiry. We understand that you can't connect your Samsung phone in a computer running with Linux Operating System. We apologize for the inconvenience that this may have caused you.
Samsung doesn't have a configurable option to connect a Samsung Device to a Linux computer. The process for the mass storage settings is tested to work only with Microsoft Windows and Macintosh computer. We apologize for the inconvenience that this may present.
We are unable to speculate when/if a software revision with this feature might be available due to the fact that this might lead to inaccurate information and confusion.
Thank you again for your comments, understanding and patience.
Do you have more questions regarding your Samsung Mobile Phone? For 24 hour information and assistance, we offer our new FAQ/ARS System - Automated Response System at http://www.samsung.com/support. It's like having your very own personal Samsung Technician at your fingertips.
Thank you for your continued interest in Samsung products.

Is there another way ? I been using Airdroid but that only does individual files no folders. Any ideas?
I use swiFTP on the device with Filezilla on the laptop. You can transfer whatever you want.

Sorry, I can't even find it on the play store. I just restored it from a TB I had on my GNEX.
Try searching XDA for an official apk of swiFTP or try another ftp app on the play store. I saw a couple highly rated ones that are free.
there is a solution for mass storage its on http://www.webupd8.org/2012/12/how-to-mount-android-40-ubuntu-go-mtpfs.html have not tested it yet though.I am using airdroid and chromium since I need stable ac power while sharing the data connection.the issiue is because of Android, but samsung could have been done something I agree

Hey folks.. sorry for the laziness..
I remember there's an app we can use with our HTC devices that allows 'em to be plugged into a PC and be seen as a USB device / mass storage - instead of having to use active sync all the time.
What's the name of the app and does it work safely on my Orbit?
Thank you in advance!
Dood.
Hey Dood,
one app that can do this is "WM5Torage" . Works pretty good for me ...

You can try also softick card export

Which of the two is recommended? I'm leaning toward the second one, as the description with ref to accessing drivers appears to suggest it is more stable.
Getting My Xda to be seen by Ubuntu
Is there anything out there that can make my Orbit be seen by Ubuntu as a storage device or such like ? I know theres nothing to get it to sync with anything on Ubuntu but maybe there is something that can get the phone to be seen so i can transfer MP3s and such across ?
WM5torage worked fine on my XDA II
WM5torage worked fine on my XDA. However "Card export" didn't work at all.
I had problems as I have a lot installed to my card and when you activate teh software it unmounts it from the device. So while you can access it on the PC the device can no longer see the card. So for me push email would have a problem as it used it for storage, apps wont run etc.

One wish I have:
In the folder "Windows", if I mark one file, open this and go back,
its a litle bit sad, that open after from the begining "Windows", and begin not at the last opening.
You have after to scroll a long way down, till you are at the last file you see.
But its only a detail. ;-)

Zune likes to relock the device which causes that error... you just need to unlock it again to get it working.... very fun game of unlocking all the time...
There's one bug: sometimes after backing to the previous folder the list displays each item twice. Except that, the app works perfectly.

Hi I also really tried but I can not find how to install this on my HD7
Can you or somebody please explain how ?
Did any one had success in copying files from WP7 to PC or the other way around?
I used the zune storage hack and copied some word documents on to the device, in the same folder I have put 2 ringtones I know work using ringtone installer from chevron, some photos and other files.
Sadly I can not find them anywhere on the device via Touchxplorer?
Any ideas?
The same the other way around. Found all the folders holding my music/videos (albait not with original file names) and tried copying other files in there including wp7 ringtones. I can see all items that were there when zune added them but none of the one's I copied.
Any solution?

So frustrating that USB disk mode has been removed by Google. Just downright disrespectful to then choose a protocol that is poorly supported on the very platform they are leveraging!
Anyway, end of rant Has anyone got MTP working on Ubuntu 12.10? I'm beating my head against it with absolutely no success. mtp-detect finds my Note 2 and gives the IDs, but no matter what I put in the udev 99-android.rules it just won't connect.
I know there are alternatives like ftp server, DroidSSH and Samba server, but these are really slow - typically 1.2MB/sec, which is just too slow for video files.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Enable UMS mode
I know this has been posted elsewhere, but took me ages to find it so I'm sure others will have not seen it either.
This enables UMS mode for the SGS 3. However, it also works great on my N7105. End of my MTP worries!

Theoretically it shouldn't work cuz it is related to mounting. Note 2 doesn't mount. It enables file transfer through mtp and usb debugging.
Mtp+usb debugging not equal to mounting.

How can I put movies on my phone for free. I've tried numerous programs, 10 alone tonight, and everyone either prompted me to pay or gave me an error(HandBrake). Any Ideas?
The way i put movies on my phone is just drag and drop lol, it's that easy, why rip or use a program to convert when you can just drag and drop movie into your sd card or internal storage? BSPlayer can play nearly every video format out there. So your question confuses me, i don't know if your asking "Where to get movies" or "How to put them on your phone" I get movies from scene sites.
I have the DVDs.

You could either drag and drop, use Kies software made by Samsung or use an app like Air Droid to wirelessly transfer any files.

If you haven't ripped the DVDs, use DVD Decrypter. Then, to put the files in the format your prefer (or any that works on your phone) use Any Video Converter.

Ripping movies
I am curious too. I had some luck once before with this, but I can't quite remember how I did it. I think what he was originally asking is, how do you make a digital copy of a movie from a DVD that you can simply place on the SD card and the phone will be able to play. Most downloadable programs will only give you minimal features unless you pay like $40. By minimal, I mean 10 minute recordings or so. Are there any reliable, free software choices that would make this possible? Usually, copy protection is the hangup, even if you own the DVD, you can't make a playable copy.

Yea, basically.
simple answer
It's simple!
Rip your DVD's to your computer (it's faster) then, copy it to your external SDcard on the phone using kies or just the usb cable.
I have 16 avi movies I downloaded onto my computer and just copied to a 64gb Class10 sd card. Fast and EASY!

Best Program?
What OS are you on? For Mac I used handbrake to resize (unneeded now) and jack the ripper to rip. PC I'm not sure..
---------- Post added at 12:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:33 PM ----------
Try Freemake video converter. I've used it a lot to convert video files but never rip a DVD. It will hopefully work.
For PC (and Mac) I've been following this guide for using Handbrake for both my tablet and phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1184002

I havent used it in a looong time but I recommend Handbrake. Very simple to use.
Have had my Note II for a couple of days now. When I connect my phone to my computer and go into Windows Explorer I can see the "Card" and the "phone" and I can see files and folders on both. What I cannot see is any hidden folders/files (i.e. those that begin with a period).
I was able to see hidden folders on my old Galaxy S under Windows, but not the Note 2 for some reason.
I can, however, see the hidden files using "File Manager" from the google play store.
I have tried reinstaling the drivers (v1.5.14 and v1.5.16) several times. No help.
Have tried turing debug mode on and installing drivers. Nope.
Tried turning debug mode off and installing drivers. Nada.
Obviously, I am missing something somewhere. Any hints?
turn on view hidden folders in win 7
It's on. If I take the SD card out of my phone and put it in the pc, launch Explorer, the hidden (.) files and folders show up just fine.
If I put the SD card back in the phone, connect the phone to the computer, launch Explorer, I cant see the hidden files.
why do you need to see them natively in the phone?
there is nothing there that you should need to mess with...
Do you suppose it might be that the phone is not rooted?
yes, that is probably why..but, once again, what are you looking for that you need to see in the hidden folders/files?
Have a couple of directories on my SD card that I dont want scanned for photos/music,etc. Have a .nomedia file in those directories (I think) but they are still showing up in my pictures on my phone. Also, I have a directory from my old phone (.Fav.Apps and .eMail.History) that I wanted to be able to get to from my PC. I wound up just renaming the .Fav.Apps to _Fav_Apps and .eMail.History to _eMail_History which allowed me to see the directories. But still cant see the .nomedia files. Guess I'll just root the phone with ChainFires root and see what happens. Thanks.

"Download winrar....

You remind me of phone tech support who uses cards to "give support" and have no clue what you talking about.
By default THE PHONE doesn't show all the files because it connected as media server (MTP or PTP), that's why it might requires a driver, unlike usb mass storage type that doesn't.
If you need see all files you'll need another program such as Droid Explorer on computer or usb mass storage app on phone. Neither of them is perfect, the app for example only allows mount SD card, but not internal storage.
I got the files needed. I zipped the folder with the files i needed then transferred the zip file to my other phone and it worked.

Ok, I admit, I was harsh and yes, you can use WinRAR to view WINDOWS hidden files, and only on mass storage devices, which by the way I don't see where this topic switched directly to mass storage as you trying to claim it has)
However you seem to fail understand the difference between windows hidden files and android as what the OP is having problems with. They are different things in most cases and WindRAR would not help at all, especially if you use your phone to see the files, not a card reader.
