[Q] G2x as a 360 memory stick?

---

I did a search, and I couldn't find anything on it.

But I wanted to use my G2x as a memory device for the xbox 360 (to move game saves and such). But when I plug in the phone and enable usb mode, it doesn't show up under "storage devices", where it should be if the xbox recognized it.

I already tried formatting the drive to fat32, and still no luck... Any help?

you need to install drivers to mount storage on a pc, so I'm guessing it won't work on a 360 for that reason

Try "mass storage only mode" under SD Card and Phone storage in settings!

Ah. That does make sense. :/

I did try the solution that the poster above mentioned, but it still didn't work. Looks like I'm off to walmart to go buy myself a sandisk usb.

If anyone else has a solution or any ideas, it's never too late to post them. Maybe someone else will try in the future.

Ah darn, I had heard that would mount the external SD card on a PC without any drivers, but haven't tried it myself yet. You are using an external SD card?

Its not just the drivers. I know for a fact My 360 would read my stock G1 and with the earliest cyanogen roms, posibly as well with my N1.
once the rumors started about the "zune phone" which became the windows 7 phone media sync broke and xbox wouldnt see any of the phones. long story short M$ blocked you so W7 phones have an advantage

My car has a USB port and I can plugin to it USB thumb drives and I could also plugin my old MyTouch 3G to it and I could play music off of them.

I cannot play music on my phone through the USB port. I assumed it was because of the drivers issue, which is REALLY unfortunate because that was great functionality...

Anyone know if these issues persist after rooting and loading a Cyanogen rom?

That isnt what this thread is about. this is about the ability for xbox to read android phones. it used to, but now it does not.

your issue could be one of a few things. anything from your specific rom to making sure mass storage mode is checked or mounting the USB when prompted. Im not sure how yours works as I prefer the AUX on my head unit

Apologies, I searched the forums and stumbled onto this, as I read through i thought it could be related and put in a reply.

I never get the prompt on my phone to mount it...which is what prompted me to search the forums. I'll keep looking
