[Q] Connection to Mac (Windows before) ?

Hey guys,
im using my smartphone normally on windows 7 at home.
I need to plug it here at work into the mac to get some files copied.
I remember when doing this kinda stuff there are problems with
the SD-card which is a different partition system than the mac.
I had that with an usb stick i think.
Or can i just plug it into the mac and it will work ?
Dont wanna lose my data or get any problems!
thanks !

Anyone an idea ?
I still dont feel like i can try it.

its in my post of avobe... you don´t seen it?

The sd memory of the phone is fat32 and macs are able to read and write to fat32. Ive got a mac and use it with my phone very often.
When u connect it via usb, select disk storage on ur phone and it should seem like a usb stick on ur mac.

is usb mass storage possible with root?

Just got a brand new Galaxy nexus today and haven't got a chance to root it yet. But i was seriously appalled by the fact that it doesn't support usb mass storage, which i did not know before buying it.
I just wanted to know, will rooting make usb mass storage possible?
no sd card and now this? I mean i love the phone but i can only take so much.

So you bought a Galaxy Nexus, but didn't know it didn't support UMS?
What's your specific problem with MTP?

MTP?
Yes i did buy it without knowledge of that. I guess that's what i deserve for not reading fine print?
You failed to answer my question though...
Rooting must enable mass storage though or how would roms be flashable?

ROMs are transferred to the phone via MTP on Windows, just like music and videos are transferred.
MTP is the replacement for USB Mass Storage. You can still transfer files back and forth.

Thank you. I came from an incredible and i guess i expected everything to be the same.
My bad for posting prematurely and now i probably look pretty stupid, but i can blame it on it being late. thanks for your help anyway.
Looks like a got it figured out. Thanks again.

your question still wasnt answered. and yes some roms offer it i believe

MTP does not transfer everything.
Try transferring your titanium backup files from your Nexus to your PC via MTP. I dare you. They're NOT there when you look at the Nexus from the PC-end.
Extracting stuff via "adb push" works fine though. This, and not having a drive-letter (so that things cant be scripted) was one motivation for me to start working on this thing:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1423392

Google/Samsung switched to MTP because now the OS and the files are on the same partition. So if you would mount the whole partition as mass storage your android would get down :-D
Maybe it could work with creating a new partition?

please please please work on this!!
I NEED UMS support bad!

Just transferred my contents backed up by TiBu. Works fine.
You are right, they are not viewable from PC to phone. They transfer and copy fine (entire directory).

tried this many times. titanium transferring works perfectly.

Well, my problem is I work on pc's , sometimes a customer's machine doesn't get the Ethernet or wireless drivers after and install. I would normally download them on my droid x and use mass storage to transfer the file over....that works in windows 7...NOTin xp.

it's called a flash drive, have you heard of those?

I'm sure the OP has heard of a flash drive. However it would be much easier to just mount the phone like he has done in the past to transfer the downloaded file. Fishing out a USB OTG adapter, flash drive, and transferring is just extra steps.
Yes, a flash drive is probably the best bet for now... but I see why the OP finds it less than ideal compared to what he was used to.
Perhaps someone will come out with a custom ROM that has a new partition scheme to allow UMS. I personally wouldn't mind having a little 512MB partition on here for just that purpose.

No no no. Keep the files on the flash drive. Plug it into the computer. Win? Or if you need to find new drivers, you surely have a laptop you can use at work. Faster to find + download then using the phone anyway.
Having your phone + USB cable to hook it up to the computer is more cumbersome than just keeping the drivers for your work on flash drive

What if you need to transfer different files back and forth, and don't always keep a flash drive on you? I found with my HTC Desire that having mass storage was very useful for when I didn't have a flash drive... Admittedly, I can use my gnex for the same thing as all computers I use have win7 - but that is beside the point!

Surely it is possible to create some app, so as far as the PC is concerned it is connected to a USB device, but on the phone something else is occurring? Through some buffer or something...
I'm interested as well, as I'm having some trouble setting my Fedora laptop to talk as MTP. I'm comfortable transferring files via ADB but it can be a chore, and obviously none of my friends will have adb on their computers so transferring files socially will be a little hampered...

[Q] USB Storage does not Work!

Hi,
I realized that attacking the USB cable from the PC to PHONE, I go in charge of the notifications but I do not have the ability to enable the USB storage ... Assuming that I do not see the device from device manager of Windows.
If I reboot the cell and put it in recovery from device manager I see ....
To me it seems a problem of ROM ...
According to you? is some setting?
I like the MIUI 2.10.26 ROM with the original kernel!
You know you help me?
Thanks to all

there's no UMS on tuna.
either use ADB or MTP/PTP. use ADB, it's the more reliable method.

ok, thanks, I read your post, but I am unclear the process!
you can use the Samsung Galaxy Nexus Toolkit, to enable the storage problem?
If so, how can I do that?

I had a very similar problem. My phone was charging but would not connect to PC, I feared the worst after trying various ROMs/kernels and a couple of cables. What worked for me in the end was squeezing the mini USB gently with pliers plugged it back in and now it connects and charges.

The cable is new, but I've also tried another one!
And then as I said earlier in the recovery charge the cell, even if I do not I mount storage mount the partition on the PC ... I think I miss a setting that I do not know how to enable!
How can I do?
thanks again

ok, in recovery, I did not know, but from the rom, but I do not because I recharge ability mass storage?

THERE IS NO USB MASS STORAGE ON THE GALAXY NEXUS. THERE IS NO ACTUAL SDCARD AND YOU CANNOT USE USB MASS STORAGE, ONLY MTP IN ANY MODE ON THE DEVICE.

[Q] connect as a USB mass storage device to the computer

Is there any way how to connect I9195 as a USB mass storage device to the computer, not only as "media device" or "camera"?

You could try SG USB Mass Storage Enabler from Google Play.
It works properly in my GT-I9195.

It needs rooted phone

I don't think there is any other way except to root it.

Did you roll back all old drivers, remove them in registry.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1882942
Also, if you get the MTP error after this, go to device manger "type it in start"
Go to View
Select Hidden Driver
Go To Non_Plug and Play Drivers
Right Click on Hardware Policy Driver
Go To Driver Tab,
Stop this device
and Disable it
Restart Windows ( unplug phone first, disable network card also)
Disable WiFi or network card, (double tap)
Plug in Phone
Allow windows to load the drivers on your phone.
(don't stop this at all)
Look for phone.
Later you can add updated drivers if you would like. Remember windows keeps all old drivers, even if its jacked up. PnP will still run.
This works on Vista and above. haven't tested it on XP.
IMPORTANT
U must re-enable the change to the device manager after this, or each time you reboot it will reload the drivers.
Also if you want to search for old pics (assuming they were on your external card if you had one)
Use Recurva. To do this you will need a mini USB to card reader. They make them as UBS and camera card style. Then mount and recover. If not you got to rip open your phone, take out the HD, and using the correct connector, (use by) get a drive enclosure. It will mount the HD as a external flash drive. But only do this if you don't want the phone anymore.
later and I hope it helps

Accelerometer is a sensor that defines a devices's position, so it gives you ability to use such functions as screen auto-rotation. And the bug is that sometimes this sensor stops working until the next reboot.

1-After format the SD with cm13, then how to back to normal SD?
2-Is right that if we use sd like part of system we can't use real system memory?
3-After formatting SD (with cm13) for using it like part of system, if we try to put it in PC and then back in the phone, it's real that the SD automatically delete all file inside it because was encrypted?
4-Can we store file like music, photo, video... on SD or it's only for app?
5-If for example i break my phone and put SD in an other phone what happen?
I know that are a lot of question but i hope someone can answer

1. Settings > Storage & USB > sdcard > menu > Format as portable
2. No, sdcard space magically adds to real internal
3. Of course no.
4. From phone: yes, photos goes there
From PC: unknown, because MTP broken now. But probably yes.
5. Data will be unaccessable because partition encrypted.
And formatted in unusual way - Windows anyway can't deal with it.
Card supposed to work only with ROM where was adopted (key stored)
UPD: it somehow works in other phone
You can format back it into FAT32 via Explorer or some partition manager.
Also seems this feature still semi-broken: large games won't install.
Maybe PecanCM can fix it.

There are often problems with Android on Windows that are absent on Linux. I had irritating issues with UMS mode in TWRP when I was using Windows (more strange is that it worked earlier and then suddenly my PC went insane when connecting USB in TWRP with storage mode enabled), but on Linux it works like a charm. And it is not the only example of problems in Android-Windows "relationship".

Guys I flashed the rom and it booted as usual and i went to next page of the setup guide i.e. add wifi in that i tried connecting to my wifi but while entering the password it shows unfortunately, aosp keyboard has stopped after i removed my wifi password and connected then it goes again to the first page of selecting country and i repeatedly pressed the yellow icon to proceed to the next page but its stucked on that page plz help me guys and do i need to do anything else?

Oh, there are a bunch! Wondering how it'll fare with the Android File Transfer on Mac. �� At least, ADB works, right? I need to update a few of my apps to support Marshmallow since they removed the Apache HTTP client (Google, must you really make things difficult? I spent an hour yesterday writing 75 lines of code just to add dividers between RecyclerView items... SMH). I'll most probably be shifting back to Lollipop AOSP by tonight. Anyway, if MTP works, I'll update you guys...
EDIT: So, no. Unfortunately, doesn't work on OS X as well. I didn't really expect it to, but then I was hoping that since it was UNIX, it would.
EDIT 2: So, it works with OS X as well! I hadn't selected the USB to transfer files previously.
