Hi, i have searched the forum for an answer but i had no luck, plenty of threads on how to map a drive of a PC onto your Universal but not the other way round, i have a folder on my SD card that has all my simple system tools for PC in it and i would like to be able to go to a WiFi network and be able to access the folder from any PC regardless of activesync.
I hope i didn't make my request too confusing but im sure you will know what i mean because it would be very usful
Thank you so much for your time on replying in advance
The best software for you is WM5torage.
By Ingvarr:This program will export the flash memory card as usual USB Mass Storage device (ordinary "usb disk") - effectively turning smartphone into flash reader. It works with many (not all) Smartphones and PDAs on the market that use WM5 as OS.
Latest version is v1.53 - it's free , fully working Mass Storage Software working with WM5.0 :
You can find previous version here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=45411 or new after some changes here:
Thats Brilliant, thank you so much for your reply, but i don't think i didn't explane it right, i already have a program for doing the USB mass storge,its called 'Card Export 2', its brilliant and so fast, but thats not what im looking for because you still have to physicly plug your phone in to a PC, i want to be able to 'SHARE' a folder on my phone, i.e Mydevice\my document\STUFF, just like you do on a PC, and then be able to run/edit/copy/paste stuff in that folder from another PC using WiFi, so in other when i go into work and connect my phone to the network using WiFi i want to be able to go to any desktop and access my files on my phone without wires, i.e in explorer type-
\\myphone\stuff
('myphone' being the name of my device & 'stuff' being the shared folder on my phone)
have i made it any clearer?
please let me know if im not making myself clear
hi jab1a,
in the past i was also dreamin about a solution you have described. in the meantime i have learned by other posts that this is not possible as providing drives or folders as a network ressource is not implemented in windows mobile. so no way of getting an easy solution for that. but in other cases wm5torage works very well for me until somebody has worked out a way for wireless sharing of folders.
best regards
peter
Hi,
I use a piece of software called V m Network Browser. lets you copy and paste files and play files over the wifi network.
Great app
its shareware but small price for a good piece of software.
hope this helps
hi nightspider,
thanks for your input. just one question left: is this software running on your desktop/server pc and it allows to play around with files on your mobile device or do you run the software on your mobile device and play around with files on your desktop/server pc?
greetings
peter
It was small misunderstanding from me :wink: . So maybe ( not tested on WiFi) idea of the ftp server on PDA :?: ?
You cand find ShareIt FTP( no shure if working on WM5.0 :?: ) http://www.noisette-software.com/products/pocketpc/ShareIt/
Hi peter_altherr
Yes it runs on the Pocket pc nothing needed on the desktop pc apart from the shared folders
I want to sent 1.5gb file ( Tomtom western maps )t o my phone by activesync but has a problem.
It show sent. but 1 hour later still scren same. busy copy.
For small amount no problem. ( 300mb etc)
How can i solve problem...
On HTC elf has a same problem. but if i connect sd minicard direct PC no problem...
But on Diamond has a intern storage..
Thanks for answer
why active sync when diamond asks you whether active syns or usb device.
choose usb device after you connected mini usb and no prob for copying 1.5gig through usb 2.0 ;-)
Don't put this in the Development section...
Try to connect using "As Hard Drive" instead of using ActiveSync.
Second thing you can try is to copy increments of the folder. So first copy about 300MB and then another etc.
sorry for section..
i will try "As Hard Drive"
the file amount 1.5gb.
Thanks for all answer
Hi,
Exist some Explorer of Isolated storage thats run without Zune or
Windows developers tools ?
Thanks for advice.
hi
you use a htc device, so you can install the htc root webserver xap.
read this post and try it. it's really simple to use.
you will have access to isolated storage, too.

Nice looking app, but If I can't connect to wifi how to connect to ISOLATED storage ? Works it also if I connect my device via microUSB cable to PC ?
Thanks.
hi
no at that time, it works only via wlan. you can put in the usb-cabel and a ip is showing up, but you can't connect to this ip.
steps to do:
open the webserver app on your device
in the app change the password in one of yours
connect to the showing ip adress in browser on your computer
type in username and password
have fun, the rest is self explanatory!

ok, if I cant connect to wifi the web server is for me
useless solution.
But I found out something else watch this: I got HD2
my microSD card is 8GB. There are 2 partition one is something 7.5 GB
and second this is important is FAT16 200MB.
I installed new FileBrowser and in this app I can see folder Storage Card
and I am able to copy files on this FAT16 partition without problem
and I can read it in card reader and oposite if I copy something in card reader
to FAT16 I can copy it from this "Storage Card" folder in device File Browser and copy it to device.
Shame that It works only on devices with Storage card.
Thats why I love my HD2, Igot WP 7.5 and microSD slot
Hi
I have my gnex since 4 month and I still search for a solution to replace the usb mass storage option that I had with my motorola defy(RIP).
So I was used to use USB mass storage for:
1- Store Keepass DB on SDcard and access it with Keepass Droid or Keepass portable (on my laptop) which point to my sdcard.
2- open and modify document on my SDcard
I know that there's dropbox or other online service but they are prohibited at work.
The other option I think of is that all the file from my phone automatically sync to my laptop when I plug the usb cable but I don't know how to do that!
Any suggestion?
Thanks
Daniel
You will never be able to setup the Galaxy Nexus to use USB Mass Storage.
MTP still lets you access files on your phone's virtual "SDcard" (just the /sdcard/ directory).

I know but i'm looking for other way to achieve this!
Having the phone syncing file automaticaly on the laptop when connected would solve my problem!
I want my file sync with the laptop file like folder sync do but with the usb cable to the laptop.
Thanks
Dan

Really don't think there's a way to do this. You're stuck with MTP on this phone.

I use a WebDAV server app to mount my GN's storage on my computers. The app I use is called "WebDAV server" and can be found on Google Play. Once you start this app on your phone, you can use a WebDAV client program on your computer to mount the phone storage as a Windows drive or Mac shared folder. I use Windows and the free-for-personal use program called NetDrive as the WebDAV client. I don't believe I've found any difference between doing this and having the storage available as a USB mass storage device.

Hi guys, was hoping someone on the forums was able to help me out with an issue I am having with my Note 2. I am a first time android user so I might be doing something wrong. Whenever I connect my note 2 to my computer, it gives me a pop up message on my phone.
"Unable to find software on your PC that can recognize your device. Service pack 3, Windows Media Player, version 10 or higher, for Windows XP or Android File Transfer for Mac OS must be Installed."
After getting this message I went to update everything on my computer. I am current on my Service Pack and I downloaded Windows media player 11. I also downloaded Kies on my computer and still, my PC doesnt recognize my phone.
Has anyone else ever experienced this issue? Also, do I need to have a micro SD card to be able to connect to my PC?
I believe right now the pc is trying to read from your device's internal memory but it doesn't have the proper drivers installed.
If you had a micro sd, it would just show up in your file explorer as readable media that you can transfer files to and from.
Sounds to me like you just need proper drivers installed and then you can do the same with your internal storage.

That makes a lot of sense. Thank you for your reply. I guess I should just pick up a micro sd card and then try it out again. Thanks again for your help.
No problem. If your browse the developer forum or do a search, I'm sure you could dig up the drivers somewhere. I'm honestly surprised that this device didn't include a disc to install proper drivers.

i to had this same problem, it wouldn't recognize the phone so i had to install and uninstall the samsung drivers 10 times for it to finally see the phone and SD card. after hours of frustration i think i found the issue. uninstall any USB drivers windows may have installed when u connected the phone and go get the installer from samsung. while in the settings menu on the phone under the developer section at the bottom make sure USB Debugging is turned off. then install the drivers plug the phone in after and let windows do its thing and bam ur done. full access to internal drive and SD if u have one installed
Had the same problem and finally found the solution on another forum site. There is a hidden setting that switches USB connectivity between USB Mass Storage and Samsung Kies. The only way to get to the setting is to create a shortcut on the Home screen as follows:
1. Press and hold an empty spot on the Home screen.
2. Choose Shortcuts
3. Choose Activities
4. Scroll down and choose USB Settings
Using the new shortcut you can now switch to Mass Storage mode and your phone will be recognized as a hard drive (even though Windows says it is a Portable Media player). Just double click on it in Explorer and you have access to both the internal memory and the SD card.

How do you press and hold an empty spot on Note 2?
Because for my Note 2, when I press and hold the Home Screen, it will pop up with a box that you only can choose set wallpaper, apps and widgets or folder. SO how to choose shortcuts? Because it is not there?
Please help me. TQ

You can do that by installing a different launcher, for example nova launcher free version. Hope this method might work for you. But did not work on my note 2. I am also still looking for answer.
I'm having the same issue as you...and have tried everything as well...and am about to pull my hair out getting this to work.
The MSS install wizard is bogging down and is taking hours to install this for some reason...I am wondering if Samsung has borked this completely for Vista /XP..
I am open for suggestions
Mac
I've noticed Windows is not able to find the driver for it.
Try downloading the OEM USB driver from Samsung: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SGH-I317TSAATT
Disconnect the phone
Install the driver
Connect the phone
Let Windows look and install subsequent updates since the OEM version
Same Problem Here

I have the same issue and receive the same error message. But only on my Windows XP computers. All my Windows 7 computers work perfectly, but my 64gb SD card connects as a media device, instead of a mass storage device which I could assign a drive letter in XP>
I have tried installing Samsung's USB driver numerous times with no results.
So has anyone found a real solution to connecting a Note 2 SD card to an XP computer as a mass storage device just like any other cell phone I have ever had?

I am also having the identical problem. The Note 2 will not connect to any of the three computers I've tried regardless of the settings I've messed with. It used to connect fine and I'm not sure what happened, but now it just charges and registers nothing on the connected PC. Help.
Usb mass storage mode is pretty much gone at this point. Somewhere someone had the wisdom we only need ptp and mtp. I saw an app in the store that will mount external sd as ums. But that doesn't seem to help with the internal, nor do I know if it translates ext4 into something windows can read. :/

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

This is crazy. I had a note 2 and it synced right away. It broke, I got a replacement and now I am getting the same errors.
Has anyone tried any different method
