So I just upgraded my galaxy note 1 to my a note 2 and I decided not to root this. I wanna tranfer my files to my ps3 but the galaxy note doesn't let me do it. Is there a way to do it with an app or so? I do not want to root

More detail please. "It doesnt do it" is not really telling us much
What error messages are you getting from pc and or phone.
Need more details of what your doing and whats going on.
:thumbup:
searching these forums, you'll find that you need to use the SGS3 Easy UMS app, found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1711009
Hope this helps!
When I plug it to my Ps3 it says "An unknown usb device has been connected" I wanna connect to my ps3 that way I can transfer files. I got it to work on my laptop but I want it for my ps3. I DO NOT want to root. Ive done it in the pass and I loved it but ima stay away from it for a while

Hey,
I need to backup my internal storage via wi-fi because my USB connector is defective and the computer wont recognize anymore..
Any suggestions on apps or a process to do this? Someone suggested AirDroid to me..
Thanks
I know you can do it through KIES plugged into USB. KIES AIR should be able to do the same thing over wifi. I have never tried it though. I am sure somewhere here are the files for it if you are running a custom ROM that it was cut out of. Do a search and try it out.

Anyone else have other ideas? I tried Kies, it sucks (its slow and failed in the middle of my 2000 pictures, and theres no resume or synchronize, so its a fail)
I tried FSync with an ftp server which seems to work good but at first look im missing alot of files.
File expert has a good smb plugin for windows networking, do a multi select on your directories and paste them onto a network shared drive

AirDroid. Look it up on the Play Store.

I use FolderSync over smb, works great. I have a profile set to start the sync when on home wifi+ charging.

That's just as slow as Kies
If you have Windows 7 you could try wifi direct

Its my first android phone but I did use my friend's android phones before and when I connected them to PC I could choose the option to o use it as USB drive and I could connect it to any PC without any problems/drivers and connect it to my ps3, but with GS3 I need drivers for PC and I can't connect to my ps3 at all, so my question is: is there a way to enable USB drive like on other android phones or is there any other way to connect my SG3 to my ps3?
You can try this. I haven't used it yet but its supposed to do what you want I think.

If it works there is a donate version in play store to consider.

Oh ok. Sorry bout that. I did a quick search and it looks like some folks were working on ways to mount internal via ums.
Ill check a little better later when ihave a little more time.

Maybe in theory you could use 2nd way to make internal SD as external and then use 1st way to make that external SD as USB drive but its not 100% safe and you have to do it each time you want to transfer something... I found an app to use my phone as media server so I can connect to ps3 via Wi-Fi but only to transfer files from phone to ps3 not the other way around... I just don't get it why would they make something that was simple and easy to be more complicated now, I wouldn't be surprised if they release something like iTunes and make it the only way to connect and transfer files...
I don't think that will ever happen with android. But I have seen that even on the tabs like the 10.1 it can be a pain in the butt to use as simple as other androids. But you can always connect via SSH. I know this doesn't help op but just an idea for computer file transfer.

Thats kind of where i was going with it too. Just got busy and thought it might be something that could lead to a solution. I do think this is something that will be solved eventually. Hopefully soon!
I was looking at the thread for that app I linked to earlier and I think the dev is working on it. You my want to ask there to see if its still being worked on.

When ever Adroid itself swtiched from Universal Mass Storage to whatever it is now it hasnt been recognized by my Macs since then. Possibly on the Epic 4G Touch w/ICS, but not sure if it was that far back. I have a Win 7 VM on my Macbook, and a Win 8 VM on my MacMini that i just fire up when I need to mess with a droid, Or since the Samsung folks were so thoughtful not to cover the sd slot with the battery I just throw the MicroSD into a usb reader I keep on a keychain.
You can also use Kies to transfer files via your web browser. It should already be installed on your phone. Just fire it up and follow the directions. I found it worked pretty well to transer files in both directions.
I also found that with a micro usb adapter you can plugin any usb flash or external drive and it will auto mount on your phone. The only problem I've seen with this however is that the unmounter process doesn't seem to quit on it's own after pulling the drive. This then causes the cpu to be stuck at 1.6ghz and drains the battery pretty fast. So, I just reboot my phone afterwards.

Thanks everyone. I got it working. I had to install Kies then use the uninstall icon that came in the .dmg Kies file. Once I uninstalled Kies using this method AFT recognized my phone. All is well again lol

I wish Kies wireless didn't rely on the steaming pile on insecure code that is Javascript

Only way I was successful with Android file transfer was after un installing Kies. . Also make sure you are using the usb cable that came with your phone. I tried with my old usb cable and it wouldn't recognize.

You can also use Airdroid or Wifi File Transfer to transfer files wirelessly.
Mine works fine just make sure phone is unlocked when connecting it is all I have to do. AFT pops right up and sees phone and card.

I just got my Note 2 yesterday, haven't rooted it or anything (yet) and I'm having an issue connecting it to my car stereo via usb. The stereo says USB not available, but when I connect either of my Skyrockets (one stock No root, the other on Embryo 6.4) they connect almost immediately. Any ideas?

Well you're no help man lol jk.
I'll trouble shoot it tonight. I think it's something with the way it connects because it says "connected as a media device" which is something I'm not familiar with. I'm used to phones simply saying "usb connected".
Something else I've noticed is when I connect it to the pc only the internal storage is visible but my sd card isn't. I'm sure that's been addressed somewhere already but idk.

All u need to talk through your stereo.... is a lil mic.
U just run the mic through your dash and up your left dash pannel or whenever u choose to mount.

Just wanted to give this post a "bump" lol. And yeah I noticed that too theres an option in the notification bar to how u want to connect either As media device or cemera, none worked though.

Chances are the stereo is expecting UMS connections rather than the MTP/PTP the n2 is providing. This is why you see the phone as a device on windows rather than as drives.
UMS: usb mass storage
Mtp/ptp: media/photo transfer protocol
(Please correct me if I borked those names)
Also, threw / through.

I would love to help you, but help yourself first: ask a better question

Yeah, I did a quick Google search and read that Samsung disabled usb mass storage on newer devices. Pretty stupid, but it explains everything. Thanks for the help guys.

So I recently rooted my SGS3, then I tried connecting to Samsung Keis and can't seem to connect. The Kies action bar tries to connect but doesn't seem to be able to finish the process. Anyone else have this issue or a fix?? Thanks

Problem not worth fixing. Uninstall Kies.

Tell me what you need Kies for and I will suggest something.
Drag and drop what? Files? Use Windows Exploiter for that.
