Hey guys,
i connect my SGS to mass storage (i'm running JP3 btw) and i can see the internal SD and external 16GB SD i have on my laptop, but when i try to copy something over it says 'error cannot read/write because card is protected'
how can i R/W and turn that off?
thanks!
same for me, sine jp2 and jp3 I cannot write to my external sd card :-(
you have to go to the notification bar and click on the USB connection and a message will pop up asking you to "mount", just click on mount.
Install this widget called 'USB Switcher'
put it on your homescreen and connect a USB cable
Touch the widget and now your phone storage is mounted on your computer
If still can't detect the external storage.
try this:
1.power off
2.take out your sd card
3.reformat your sd card via card reader
4.put in your sd card again
5.start the phone
6.connect USB cable
7.Use the widget above
external sd seems to be a bug for half of us, so strange, all was fine until jp2 and jp3, and the above did not work, usb switch getting FC all the time and should not have to do this should just work as before by mounting it, but ever since jp2 I get the android pic and it mounts ok but will not let me copy/place new files into external, no permission/protection is on......guess have to try jp4
Hmmm yeah no need to go to the notification bar in JP3 cause the android screen pops up asking if you want to turn on usb storage. It must be a problem with JP3 :-(
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Using firmware XJG4 version, I managed to access SD card (16 G internal & 8G external from mass storage using 'USB Switcher'
My steps are:
1. Run 'USB Switcher' to unmount SD storage
2. Connect with USB to PC
3. Select mass storage option when prompt
3. Go to PC, 2 drive appears and are accessible.
To confirm the SD cards are unmounted from step 1, run file manager and the SD file directory is empty.
I just unlocked my bootloader and now I cant access my internal phone storage.
Its says: Internal phone storage is in USB mass storage mode. Please exit this mode to access internal phone storage.
Any advice? Its not plugged into the usb. I have restarted the phone. I pulled the battery and everything. When I go to file and click on internal phone storage I get the message above. I can access my sd card.
Have you tried plugging it in to your computer via USB and changing the USB connection on the phone to 'None'? That's probably what I would do. Worth a shot.
Yeah I did and no luck. I'm think of just sbf 1.8.3 and see what happens
Yeah I'm not sure what else to try. What ROM are you running?
Its been fixed. Just had to go to settings and storage and mount internal.
Hi Guys,
When I put an SD card in my phone and plug it into my PC, windows only sees the SD Card. I hit "USB mass storage" option on the phone after plugging it in, but I still only get access to the SD card.
When the SD Card isn't in the phone windows explorer will see the internal phone storage. I just can't get them both to show up at the same time.
The other weird thing is when I plug the phone in, it unmounts both the SD Card and the Internal Storage (in order for the PC to use them). However, when I remove the phone from the PC, I have to manually remount the internal storage. The SD Card will automatically remount.
Any ideas?
Thx.
Guys help. I have transferred some apps to my SD Card. Whenever I mount a pendrive(Fat32) using an OTG adapter and then unmount it, the apps on the SD card are not recognized and shows a "appnotinstalled" message when I try to open them. When this happens, the "USB Computer Connection" option also can't be opened(forces closes). I either have to restart the tab or unmount and mount the SD card to get the apps recognized again. I know that Google have diabled apps ability to write on SD cards after 4.2 and I'm not sure if this is related the problem.
Hey guys,
as written in the topic, since yesterday i cannot access my SD Card when i plug my S7E via USB Cable to the PC. It just shows the Internal Storage but not the "SD Card" folder anyway.
tho, i can access it via FTP.
I already tried to format my SD but it still doesnt show up on USB mode.
Any help?
no one got an Idea?
