can i ask what mean is OTG?see many people say it and dont no what means~
Good thing you're not asking about "will USB OTG supported in our device?"
According to Wikipedia (which actually you have to search regarding to Rule 1 *unless if you are too lazy to search for it*)
USB On-The-Go, often abbreviated USB OTG or just OTG, is a specification that allows USB devices such as digital audio players or mobile phones to act as a host, allowing other USB devices like a USB flash drive, mouse, or keyboard to be attached to them.
So, you can make your device as a host (like a computer) and if you attach something to your phone, it will be read as external partition. (CMIIW, as this is what I got)

Acro's new release says otg works "on external power". so does otg work? Cuz after some debates it seems to have been settled that otg will never work?

Well at first they said it will never work because the lack of drivers *CMIIW, as this is what I got* especially on 2.6.35, but now we have some new drivers *again, CMIIW. I don't get much information on this* (and also helps from our comrades from I9001 (S+) and SGH-T679 (Exhibit 4G)) so, we made it, even if it requires External Power.
Just tried with CyanogenMod 9 RC7. It doesn't work neither with 3.0 kernel.

Did you use USB External Power? Also, what did you insert? (p.s. NTFS isn't supported for OTG)

It's only works with CM10 Alpha 7, because Arco implemented it. See link below how to setup.

Tried with a FAT32 usb key.
Not used external power, I read a tool for fast charge is needed, but not yet tried!

XDA custom ROM devs,
While I have yet to root my new Galaxy Nexus, I, as many other folks I presume, am extremely unnerved with lack of MSC mode. both MTP and PTP are bad, for a variety of technical reasons, but the implementation by Sammy/Google on this device make it even worse.
I run Linux as my primary desktop/laptop OS, and I have another Win7 laptop, and the experience has been awful on all three systems. I ended up using doubleTwist AirSync and AirDroid for my music/files management, but that is not I expect to be able to use the device.
Anyhow, long intro aside..
I have a proposal for reimplementing MSC on this device, and will probably do it once I root my device, but thought to kick it around here and see if anyone's interested.
Add the ability to create an ext4 image with 4/8Gb size, and mount it to /sdcard.
Sure, once rooting and changing ROM, it is possible just to make a secondary partition, but I believe doing the above gives more choice (in case you like have a flattened large partition, without MSC support), and would support a variable size more easily.
There is still a question if the device would automatically adjust to have a "partition" to mount/unmount, exposing MSC mode, or if it will behave like it does with external storage.
Any takers? Any reason you deem this not to work?
@tsella
Can't see why it wouldn't work.
Might be more effective to see if you can get the contents of /data/media shared using CIFS or NFS. That would probably be about the same effort, but you'd still retain the flexibility which exists today.
Or maybe get MTPFS working.
Well, this is the best solution I have ever tried, when it comes to moving files between devices.
It's fast, I don't have to wait for mounting/unmounting, and no need to eject the device.
i stil cant see whats so awful as how it go's now without masstorage.
i dont have any issues at all

It seems gmtp works fine with Verizon phones, not GSM version. I have been through gmtp, mtpfs, built my own libmtp - does not work for me.
On Windows, copying a large amount of files usually stops at some point and needs to be retried.

Actually it does. Using the context clues, you can understand that he's informing you to stop being lazy and Google search it. If you have to ask questions before searching, you shouldn't be using Linux. IMO.

There are certain instances where you will run into issues. For example, a vast majority of 3rd party car stereos with USB ports only support mass storage mode. There are very, very few that support any other formats, including MTS. I can't listen to music off my Nexus with my car stereo and charge it all with one cable -- I have to bust out the auxiliary cable as well, which just gets messy.
The Galaxy Note II have the USB mass storage feature?

I guess the best solution then is to use a MicroSD card and put it in a reader and then plug that into the machine, copy the files to the SD, then copy from the SD to the main storage if the Note2 if needed. Should be faster than copying over wifi..
use an ssh or ftp app. they were great! not the fastest but not the worst!
Use AirDroid, it is one of the best.

I'm having the same issues and the ability to set connection default to DD has mysteriously made itself absent.
Which is sucking a lot of ass right now, since I deleted photo's for work that I really need!

OK, so I now know that setting SD to Disc Drive is no longer an option.
How do I recover deleted pics??
Mine just shows up as a portable media player device. If I double click on that, the storage area is available to see just like a disc drive.

This is correct, but which of those files contains deleted pics for recovery?
Since the device displays as "portable media player device", it is not recognised as a drive with a letter, as such, so is not seen by recovery software....
Apologies to OP for hijack
Unless you are rooted you cant, JB uses MTP ....media transfer protocol. Are you rooted, custom recovery ? Then mount the sdcard inside the recovery as a mass storage device. No other option at this time afaik

Well maybe there is an option i dont know of. I didnt dive in this very deep..... but at least i cant get it to show up as a drive in any way and i tried a lot.

From what I've read, those types of devices (or anything other than connecting it to a PC) requires OTG (On the Go) support.
