usb mass storage on the note 3 - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3

has someone found a way

Uhh what do you mean? Lol. Have to be a little more specific so we understand your issue you're facing. Because all you do Is hook up the usb to your PC. And whala. You might need to install drivers if yours is not properly working.

I think we need to wait for kernel with ums support, then the app above will work.

IF you have not as of yet, download the New Kies (that is only for the note 3) it has the proper USB 3.0 drivers. Also make sure you are using the 3.0 port on your lappy. If you are on an old lappy, it's blue and usually says USB/ESATA on newer lappies they are black so check your OEM guide for which one. USB 3.0+ Boost will have a lighting bold over the USB symbol

Go into developer option and unchecked usb debugging. Then reboot and plug phone in done

I think the person who ask; he wants the USB Mass Storage support which can use in Car, or devices that support UMS.
I have a 2009 Honda, and it had support iPod, and USB Mass Storage, but Note 3 is NOT compatible with my car.

i have usb 3.0,mass storage will eject the sd card and work as a hdd/memcard for faster transfer and other things,,yes the note 3 has usb 3.0 but i think its really apply to the flash memory not the sd card

The option that comes up is usb 3 media option.
UMS for galaxy note 3 does not exist unless some kernel dev is going to enable it.

Please someone implement this ums feature in a kernel !

is there really no way to connect the Note 3 to a Mac as external drive?
hi,
just to be sure: I enabled "USB debugging" and rebooted, but still can`t access the phones memory from my Mac...
Using Airdroid and "Android file transfer" in the meantime, but it is awkward...
Any help? Is there an alternative to connect to a Mac?
Thank you in advance!

That's what author is taking about

I would love to see this too. I used that app on both S2's I had so I could play music through the USB port on my car stereo. It won't work with MTP

Using usb 3 mode, copying to the internal sd is super fast.

Access Storage from computer?

I plugged my epic 4g touch into my computer via usb cable and i dont see any drives in "my computer" that i can access the data... is this normal without a SD card???

nevermind i just realized in device manager it has a ! and I had to have it search for drivers again. for some reason the drivers failed to install the first time
You should see something, because there is built in storage.When I plug mine in it shows 2 because I have a sd card and the regular internal.
I only get 'MTP-Connected'; no drive letters.

That's how it's supposed to work, the internal storage doesn't mount as a disk like an SD card, you browse it like a device. Just navigate to your devices. This would look familiar to anyone who has a galaxy tab, it's the same way.

No you don't. Read above post.
Dont you have to click the notification and click on Connect USB to Computer, then hit the big button that say CONNECT? this is how im doing it.
at first the Drive letters would pop up but I could not see anything in the folders when I tried to open the drives, but on my phone after I do the USB to PC connect it then gives me access to the files.
If you want to see it as a usb drive, yes you do. If you're just using it as MTP, then no you don't.

When I plug into my ps3, in order to be able to see files I have to go under wireless and network then into usb utilities. There isn't an option that automatically shows up in the pull down menu. Will that change once I insert an sd card?

You have 2 options
You can download the drivers referenced here

I had to enable USB Debugging to get it to work correctly with Windows 7.
But after that you can access both the SD card and the internal memory on the phone through Windows Explorer
Or you can use the Kies software and do it wirelessly. Details here:

I have no problems using a 32 bit PC - but with 64 bit Window's professional, it is as if the phone were only connected to power. Companion link synch program overcomes this problem -- apparently it installs its own drivers and after doing a usb synch to outlook, I am able to use windows to transfer files between the galaxy S 2 (t989) and windows. However I have not found any drivers that permit the Samsung to connect to the Windows 7 using usb cable w/o using companion link first.
I had the same problem and samsung tech support had me pull the battery for 30 seconds. That did the trick, but it has happened once since.

[Q] Enable Mass Storage on stock Jelly Bean?

Is there any app or command or something, which can enable Mass Storage mode instead of MTP on HOX with stock 4.1.1 Jelly Bean?
No. If you have a custom recovery you can mount it there.

So it's as I thought... This is really annoying, I hated MTP since my Nokia 5530 offered it to me, but I was able to switch to Mass Storage mode. Now I'm not. Sigh... It's getting closer to WP and iOS devices.

Yeah, I know. Last time, I was on stock rom, was when latest version was 4.0.4, then I went through ViperX, CM10, ICJ, and then went back to stock and updated to 4.1.1 because of OTG. I quite got used to mass storage, so I was just wondering if it's possible to bring it back.
Just curious

It's slow and it doesn't support the same functions as Mass Storage like picture thumbnails, changing type of folder (to Documents instead of Music), sorting by date is somehow corrupted, etc...

Not on my PC (Win7) nor on any system in my laptop (Win8 and Win7) with my HTC One X. Only default icon, but no preview thumbnail. And it's laggy as hell, that bothers me the most. It even crashed Windows Explorer two or three times on my PC...
That I agree. It sucks. Crashed Windows Explorer whenever I tried to create a new folder. :/

Guys, I know you all hate MTP. I know how to activate the USB Mass Storage (by disabling USB Debugging, according to one thread here), but how do I activate MTP again?? I want to use the Sync Manager for a Backup (I am on stock, no rooting desire).
Wait for the new viper x Rom, they going to have a mass storage tweak implementation in the new upcoming update
If you're more into AOSP, CM10.1 supports USB mass storage already.
does anyone facing this issue on Asus fonepad device?
i am not rooted, running stock 4.1.2, no USB file transfer option.
thaks.

PC recognizes S4 but no longer recognizes SD Card and Internal Card

Hi, the S4 has been running great but all of a sudden my PC will not recognize any internal Memory or SD Cards.
It's really weird. All the cables are fine. The PC recognizes the phone but no internal memory nor External cards anymore.
Any help is greatly appreciated
I get this to happen randomly at times. I'd suggest you try a different usb port. Or change the MTP usb connection to PTP. Although this will only let you transfer pictures. Try toggling the usb debugging option.

Hey Thanks but I have tried all of that. Really weird why this is happening. It was fine all of this time. The fact is the PC won't even do that on my Note 2 also. So, it can't be the s4.
Even Kies kee's saying "Connecting.." It won't even recognize any device.
This just started happening to mine too 10min ago... wont recognize drives but will phone..
Then I can get drives to show but cant transfer anything....
Then it stops and says device in use even after a battery pull...

I can confirm this as well. I had a lot more issues with my galaxy s2. It would never show up on 1 of my laptops and I would have to use it with my desktop only.
Back to the S4, it has only happened once so far. But switching usb ports normally works for me. I'd recommend just reinstalling the drivers/kies and start over. Also before you go return your phone. Try connecting it to a different computer and see if it is recognized.

OTG cable question

Hey guys, just received the OTG cable I bought for me nexus but it doesn't seem to recognise it, I'm rooted Nd has stick mount pro installed but the tablet isn't responding when I connect it to my n7. My s4 i9500 is also rooted with stick mount pro but it works great, the phone recognises it no problem, so is the pin connector different on the n7 and s4 or is it hardware issues on my n7?
