Hello there,
it is one of the best phone and the easiest to recover or update in my opinion but,
the issue of no memory card is really something bad for your files in case if something happened to the phone!
i know backup is so important but what if you phone crashed all of the sudden because of an application update and you will enter in the repeated boot loops and you have to reset the phone or flash new software!!
OH! Then your will loose everything in the mobile !
it is really sad it happened to me twice in2 weeks i lost allot of good pictures.
i am sure most of the phone users tried to recover the lost files and no one could do it because the phone is identified as MTP, no logical letter drive can be assigned to the phone!!!
All recover software’s couldn’t find the phone and even when i tried hexcomp from the market to recover the pictures, couldn’t do it.
my question for our developers is there any scripts can make the phone work as usb when it is switched off ??
or ,
is there any way to assign a logical drive to the phone instead of MTP so we can recover the lost files?
I don’t know why Goggle didn’t think of such problem because it happened to allot of people and I am not used to back up my files before because there were in memory card.
I really hope the developers will work on such issue because this is the worst thing I found it in the phone.
I might be wrong but I think you can pull everything off the phone using adb whilst in recovery mode?
Dropbox.
It can sync pictures as soon as you take them.
You can sync files between multiple devices, including uploading and downloading to your phone.
Titanium Backup can be synced to drop box.

i tried Pull before it took long time without doing nothing
i know dropbox and i know what it do
i am asking the DEVELOPERS:
1-is there any scripts can make the phone work as usb when it is switched off ??
2-is there any way to assign a logical drive to the phone instead of MTP so we can recover the lost files?
Thanks

Theoretically you probably could write a CWM script to create a virtual folder and mount that as USB media via CWM. But it would require loading the script to the phone via ADB anyways.
This has also been discussed before:

I've had this Sprint Galaxy S II phone for about two or three weeks, and it just updated to 4.0.4. The only problems I am having are these:
1. power saving is set to come on at 50%, but it doesn't. Lately, I have been home and have been able to charge it or happened to look at it when it was just below 50%. If I go into the settings and manually uncheck and check it again, it turns on power saving. Any way to fix this?
2. I've never messed with the SD card yet. The card is the same as my old phone's, so there's stuff on it I can't delete. Anyway, I think they changed the way this connected to PCs because the old image of Andru on the screen is gone. So, now when I connect it, my computer thinks it's a camera. If the icons are in tile view, it won't show you the folder or file names. And it won't let me paste music (only thing I'm trying to do) onto the SD card. Now, FYI, my fiance just reinstalled my OS (XP) because of some computer problems I was having, so maybe there's some XP update I need for this to connect to the PC. If I can connect the card to the computer without the phone, I'll try that, but I don't know how.
I'm not sure about the power saving mode, but I ran into the issue with the sd card. I fixed it by installing the Samsung drivers (which can be found by a quick Google search, or by searching these forums) and turned on mass storage mode. I'm running xp as well and it shows up under removable storage F: & G: in the my computer folder. Hope this helps

How do you turn on mass storage mode? The Sprint guy had me download the drivers, but the device wasn't recognized by the PC when I did. I then got SP 3 for Windows, but I haven't noticed any difference, so I am not sure if there's something else my computer is missing.
When you connect the phone a us icon shows in the status bar, swipe down and touch the notification then it will allow you to turn it on.

I called Sprint today because I was still having this issue with the SD card, and they told me that since I was using Windows XP, I would never be able to see the SD card because it was too old an OS. I can't find anything online I should download, so I thought I'd check here again to see if there was a way around this. I figured if anyone would know, it would be the people on this forum.
P.S. I am still having the power saving mode issue but forgot to ask them about that.

lolwat? XP may be old, but not old enough to still support USB mass.
ICS uses a new USB setup for connecting using MTP, and another older mode I don't remember the letters for offhand. XP should read MTP but not the other, but you typically need Samsung drivers for either. Market has an app, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.zatta.USB_switch USB Switcher that will change the USB mode from MTP to mass, after rebooting your phone. Works on my E4GT, so presumably it might for yours. Hope that helps.
Edit: It is possible though for certain size cards to not be read by XP depending on certain settings or hardware, I dunno if that's what they meant by that, I assumed you meant connecting to the card via USB on the phone. If I got that wrong my apologies, hope this helps regardless.
I'm not sure how big my SD card is as the fiance gave it to me, and I don't recall. He is the computer expert around here, so I don't pay much attention to what he does to the computers, etc. Yes, dear, whatever you say dear. Dual core, 80 Gig, micro SD card reader...if he wants me to use it, I trust that it's good. He actually told me that he bought extra licenses for Win 7, so we could install it on my computer, but I am not a fan of how Win 7 programs are organized differently from their older versions. (I may be thinking of 2010 Office Suite and just lumping that in with 7). So, I told him maybe in two years I'd upgrade to 7. For now I'll just transfer the files between two computers with a flash drive.
I KNEW this was an ICS thing. Even though I had the phone for less than a month before the update and didn't remember plugging it into the computer before then. My phone does prompt file transfer for MTP and whatever acronym they use for pictures. And I'm like, fine, I'll deal with that, but when I try to use the programs suggested to transfer files, the programs freeze or don't recognize the phone as a device plugged in. It's a crapshoot. And I figure if they went through all the trouble of doing this media/photo file transfer thing for XP, why didn't they just use a little more effort to make the SD card contents visible?
So...unless a third party develops something that will provide SD card content viewing and editing, I will just go the long route and move files from my PC to a flash drive to the Win 7 PC to the phone.
Hi,
Im trying to mount my Lumia 800 in Ubuntu, the device is automatically accessible but I would like to run some recovery software against it? but for example testdisk does not see the device... could I recover deleted photos somehow from the device?
Thanks
good luck with that, the wp7 data is behind 7 proxies...
Now, seriously what did you expect? the device use a proprietary format on the sd card, which is NOT documented: TFAT or Transactional FAT and the device is hardwired to behave like a media device and not like a storage device...
(no offense) Did you researched the topic before doing this question?
It is well known that MS developed this phone so tight that you can't recover anything if the phone is hard reset or remotely wiped or even connected to use recovery tools because is not a storage device.
My only advice? be careful with your data and what you really want to delete, use a Windows 7 computer to take all your information out of the phone when needed or if you "haet" windows so much(kidding ) you can use skydrive...
So my friend, having made a move to the iPhone 6+, asked me to help her move pictures, etc. from her old phone to her new phone. Unfortunately, I don't know what went wrong and her phone (t989) won't connect to the computer. The notification that it's in USB mode doesn't show, the sd cards (internal and external) aren't being read / even visible on the computer, and it's a stupid phone that I personally want to destroy.
Caveats:
She is on Gingerbread still having never updated her phone. All her pictures are on her internal SD card too. Apps are of course restricted by her OS (but it wouldn't be that hard to find old apps, just time consuming). Google Play Store crashes frequently while downloading apps. She isn't rooted (obviously, I don't blame her since she isn't interested in all that, and the only root method seems to be to use ODIN, but that would wipe her internal clean which I don't want to do.
What I've done:
I've done a hard reset on the phone (shut down, remove battery, insert battery, turn on). Not sure if the seconds matter, but it was a quick take out, put in. Maybe a few seconds, definitely not 30 more. But when the phone turned on, her time went back to 1970 or something.
I've tried to copy the DCIM of the internal onto the external, but she has like 5k pictures and using My Files, it quits the transfer randomly without an indication where it quit or why.
AirDroid, but that gave me invalid package. Could have installed manually, but didn't have that much time and didn't think about it.
Bluetooth on the mac doesn't stay connected to the phone.
My goal:
Figure out how to connect to the computer preferably over USB. I still need to transfer her whatsapp messages too but without it showing up on the computer, I'm stuck. I've downloaded Samsung drivers, I have Samsung Kies installed. I just don't know what is wrong with it.
Any ideas? I've done all this on my laptop, but I told her to come over some day to use my desktop and see if it works on there (I was using a Windows Bootcamp partition on my macbook pro). I tried to connect the phone to OSX as well, but I didn't install Kies, which might be a reason... but the USB connected notification just doesn't want to come.
Hi.
I have factory reset my Microsoft 950 XL mobile and just discovered a gap of 6 days of pictures from a recent vacation on my OneDrive backup . Is there any way I can recover those files?
I have been browsing the net and it seems if I could get the USB connection to be in mass storage mode, and could use normal recovery programs to see if the files can recovered.

I don't think it's possible, but you could try with something like PC INSPECTOR File Recovery
