Hello,
I'm trying to port an Xperia S rom to my Acro S, however when I plug the usb cable, the storage isn't mounted, even the internal one.
Also I cant see the External Storage info on settings, but the phone mount the external and I can acess it with a file manager.
My question is, in /system/app, which apk is responsible for mounting the storage (internal and external) on PC when usb cable is connected?
Or is it a config I have to change somewhere else?

This maybe a stupid question. Does anyone know how to mount the internal storage on a PC when the phone is plugged it? The only thing I get is the SDcard. When I plug my Incredible in I get both the internal and SDCard mounted.
Sorry for such a newbie question but I can't find an answer in any forums. I used to be able to get access to both my external and internal sd card when i plugged into my windows 7 laptop. it would show as a new device SPD something. When i clicked on that icon in windows explorer it would break out two different drives the External and Internal. After flashing starburst rom and plugging in the device, it just shows an (F) Drive which is my standard storage. My phone then asks me for USB mass storage permission and it goes into mass storage mode. Clicking on F will bring me to my external SD card but I can't figure out how to access data on the built in memory chip. Any help would be appreciated!
If you got to Settings>Applications>Development and check allow usb debugging it should detect both cards as removable drives that you can access.
Wondering how to transfer pc files to phone's external memory card since when connected by usb to the laptop-the ;aptop only detects the phone and it's contents.I'm under the assumption-the ext.sd card should show as a removable storage device.What works?
I’m trying out my new Sony Xperia Z1C.
And there are some things I have questions about
Before I had a HTC One and I could connect it by cable to my audio equipment in my car (BMW 3 F series). This worked because the BMW can read MTP devices.
Connecting the Sony the first time it took ages before it was ready and then only the contents of the internal memory were shown.
When starting mirrorlink on the phone made it unusable in the car.
With a task manager I could remove the mirrorlink background task, is there no other way to stop that background task?
But the problem remained, it could connect but nothing of the SD card was shown.
So I switched to Mass storage and tried to connect again.
This was a lot faster but only four directories were shown.
I copied files on the sd card directly from my pc and not through the phone connection,
so I reformatted the card
and copied files to it through the phone connected to the pc. Copying then failed on .m3u files (why , the phone cannot do anything with them so why not copying?),
so I skipped all those files and
mounted the sd card once more as mass storage,
and now the car audio can see all of the directories. Now I know how to copy mp3 files but it is still a strange way of working, copying to the SD card directly works so much faster.
Mounting the SD card as MTP has almost the same result as before, it reads the card a lot faster now but it still does not show content of the sd.
Can anybody explain me what the correct way of working is,
is MTP only for internal memory (when connecting to the pc on MTP I can see both sdcard0 (internal memory) as sdcard1 (sd card )?
What about killing background tasks such as mirrorlink, how to proceed?
What about copying files to the SDCard, from the pc to the card or from the pc through the phone and then to the card?
Are not all filetypes supported on the card?, I think my initial problem was related to the M3U files.
no time to get into details but i know 2 things
MTP mounts the phones internal memory plus the external sd card
mass storage mounts only the sd card like any other mass storage device
and yes, MTP is slower compared to the mass storage.
Hi everyone,
I used external 2 internal root to swap my USB flash drive with the internal storage, however, there was once whereby i accidentally unmounted the internal storage, thinking that it was the flash drive
now, whenever i boot up with the flash drive plugged in, i will see 2 USB flash drives as the internal, and mounted USB drive
when i plug out the flash drive and boot, it will show the internal drive, how do i mount back the internal drive?
ok guys, update
i managed to boot into CWM and mount back my internal SD
problem now, my USB port is totally dead, i can't mount back my flash drive, nor can i power my keyboard
any one can help?
