Does the Galaxy S2 ICS USB Mass Storage (MSC) trick work on the Galaxy S3 too?

I need MSC (not MTP) to use the S3 with my backup program. I don't yet have the S3. Thanks in advance.

No USB Mass Storage on Galaxy S3. No USB Utilities like Galaxy S2. So file transfering a bit slow esp small file!

Thanks. That's a shame .

Does USB Debugging enable USB Mass Storage? I believe it does on Gingerbread. I've read reports it doesn't on ICS though.

It does not sadly.

Why there's no mass storage is beyond me. Hopefully a FW update (probably in early autumn) will fix it.

I doubt it will come. It's not default in Android anymore.

Unfortunately not. Google moved from UMS to MTP with Honeycomb because UMS locks out the storage to the phone when it's plugged into a computer.

I've never heard of this being an actual problem for anyone. You've only got it plugged in for a set period of time.

There's much more on it here: http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/11...-mass-storage/

problem with usb storage

Hi, I went to setting, more, USB utilities, this is where my problem starts.
My phone say, "USB is connected. Remove the cable." but my phone isn't connected to the cable!
Any suggestions on what to do?
Thanks

If you are having a rooted phone, there are StickMount from chainfire, Alt Mounter and SGS3 easy UMS that will allow you to connect the android in Mass Storage Mode.

Can someone post a link for SGS3 easy UMS because download keeps failing from site and Google didn't help.
