[Q] How to enable mass storage mode?

---

When I connect the phone to my PC via USB, I only get two options. One is a media mode and the other is a camera mode. Either mount the phone as a normal hard drive (like my Galaxy S1 does). While the media mode does allow me to copy files to the phone, it is really slow.

Is there a way to put the T999 in USB mass storage mode?

+1... this is stupid

its the new way that samsung is doing things using mtp. It won't even show on a mac. I guess well have to wait for a work around

Are you rooted yet? Requires root, but it also has some warnings not to use it yet.

It doesn't work for us yet

You have to install the Android File Transfer: http://www.android.com/filetransfer/

You also, when connected, have to change it from MTP to Camera... It'll load automatically on my Macs now.

On a PC, changing it to Camera makes it just connect and open up an explorer window.

After working with the phone for a few days I find I am using dropbox more and more as a replacement for connecting to my PC via USB. We'll see how it goes.
