Once it mounted, I disabled some applications and had problem. Enabling didn't help, later with other pendrive it worked. How diagnose what was guilty ?

Hi People.
Sorry if this isn't an appropriate forum to post this.
I am trying to connect my SGS2 to car radio through USB cable to access music files.
First, there was a problem to even connect the phone to the radio and the car told me that there is an error connecting to the device.
But after turning on USB Debug mode on the phone, now I can connect (Although after 2-3 attempts, why ???) to the car and it finds all my mp3's on Internal SD.
But now there is another problem. Because the car now uses the SD card (As Mass storage), any application that trying to access it is denied.
So when I'm trying to use Waze for example while listening to music it writes me that Waze can't access my SD card.
Is there a workaround to be able to use the SD card from both the car and the applications at the same time ?
I'm using Lite'ning Rom v1.4
Search in the market for dual or multi mount.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
Multi Mount SD Lite - doesn't work.
All is the same as it was, when I mount the SD the applications can't access it.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong ?
The notes say don't use android mount feature.. what does it mean ?
Anyone? It's really annoying that I can't hear music while navigating..
Please help..
P.S - If I'll buy external SD card for music, will be there an ability to mount only it, so the internal will be for the applications and the external for the car radio to mount ?
Ok, the question is still open.
Is there any real solution, like patch or something ?
Because both Multi Mount and Dual-mount doesn't work.
If I use those apps the car can't even find the phone as if it is not mounted. (With the built in mount feature the car finds the phone on the 5 try or something..)
any answers as follow up? i got myself a dension gateway 300 and when i try to plug in my galaxy s (2.3.4) i have the same problem.. multi mount sd manages some time to do the trick.. but its very random..
i am thinking that the android system is "fighting" with the multi sd app. and it manages to mount the internal storage or something like that. ]
does anyone have any hint?
cheers
My guess is that the Dension only mounts the first partition it sees (i.e. the /sdcard directory). At least that's what I've seen with memory sticks I've tried to put into my Gateway 300 -- I haven't tried mounting the SGS2 since I have all the same music on a dedicated 32GB microSDHC card & USB card reader.
Anyway, if the Dension has mounted the /sdcard directory, you should be able to access the SD card through the external_sd directory.
Actually it does not seem to mount any of the partitions. if i check at the source menu it says "no usb".
when i use "multi sd mount" app i can sometimes get it to work (setting the app to mount only the external sd) but thus is only once every ten tries. i cannot do it at will...
it seems somehow that the android mass storage software and the app are "fighting" somehow. (of course the android on its own does not succeed).
may i ask you to check if you can mount your galaxy on the dension? not many have this configuration so your feedback would be valuable.. thank you in advance
cheers
ok guys i've got a minor inconvenience with my nexus 7.
first of all my device:
i'm running paranoidandroid 2.23 with clemsyn's power saving kernel. which i can recommend because it works like a charm and uses very little battery.
but now to my problem:
i'm using a 60gb external HDD with an OTG cable connected to my nexus 7. the problem now is, that the hdd is formatted in ntfs, which i won't change. everytime i connect my hdd to the nexus 7 the android system automatically mounts the partition READONLY as /storage/usbdisk.
i'm using "Paragon NTFS & HFS+" to mount ntfs partitions as R/W, which does of course not work since the partition is altready mounted by the android system. so now i always have to manually unmount the partition in android settings and then remount it with Paragon NTFS & HFS+.
my question now is: is there any way to disable the android system's automount of external usb mass storage device?
i know it's just a small inconvenience but it really gets to me, there must be some way around this hassle.
thx in advance
uuzi
Sorry for not having an answer, just wanted to +1 this. I could really use this solution as well.
Seriously need an answer. I tried deleting the last line of vold.fstab, which worked, but then my music players couldn't see anything, even if the drive was mounted with Paragon or OTG Helper

Somebody knows how to enable UMS on this phone? It is not present on Android 4.1.2 and SGS3 Easy UMS does not work. It could not find an SD card, whether I mounted it or unmounted. I have a root access.
it's my probloem,too
USB Mass Storage is disabled in 4.1.* for original Android, and I guess LG developers might not want to make change to add it back. There are some workaround but would you mind trying ROMs other than Jellybean?
P.S. I can't post external link yet, do Google with keyword "android 4.1 usb mass storage" and you'll se.
I accidentally deleted some important photos which stored in my S4's internal SDCard. So I connected my phone to PC through USB cable, and plan to run some recovery tools from PC to get them back. However, when connected, my S4's identified as MTP (portable media device) rather than USB Mass Storage, therefore those recovery tools can't do anything.
I googled the net and found some apks that help my phone to switch between MTP/USB mode, however this method only works for external SDCard.
Any ways to retrieve accidentally deleted files? Thank you in advance!
p.s. I do heard about that flash TWRP in will help the PC identify the phone as a USB Mass Storage Device, is this true? If it's true, how do I do it?
Thx!!!

Thanks, but no this was exactly the app I used, it can't mount the internal card. If you read carefully the author also says 'It will never be able to export the internal storage on the device.' All my deleted pics are on the internal card so....
I can no longer mount USB Hard Drive after Marshmallow 3.0 update? My hard drive is this one:
http://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Backup-Portable-External-STDR2000103/dp/B00FRHTTJE/
And it worked fine before the update?
I've even tried installing StickMount to mount the USB HDD and that didn't work either?
When I plug the HDD into the Shield, ES File Explorer pops up and it shows the drive but when I click it, it says: "failed to open the file"
The USB HDD doesn't even want to show in the SETTINGS > STORAGE section either.
It's formatted in exFat.
Update: I've reformatted the drive to NTFS. Now, the drive will mount but it's "unwritable"?
Any ideas?

Looks like a similar issue, not being able to WRITE to an NTFS formatted drive, seems to be a stock issue, not related
to custom firmware, theres "talk" that nvidia is aware of the problem and "talk" that it'll be fixed "soon"........we'll see
Assuming this is the same issue

That's sounds like it! Yea, this is my experience:
exFAT: Can't mount / read / write
NTFS: Can mount / can read / cannot write
FAT32: Can mount / can read / can write
Can someone else please test and confirm these findings?
