Removable Disk vs Galaxy Note when connecting to PC

---

When conecting my Note to a Winows PC via USB, on some computers I get 2 Removable Disks (i.e. E: & F, and in which to enable these drives to be viewed, I have to go to the alert screen on my Note and select enable USB.

Other times when connecting the Note to a PC, I get a Samsung Note listed un My Computer, and in that case I can just click on it and it will allow me to view contents of Note without having to enable it via the phone.

Any idea why this is?

Thanks

do you have usb debugging enabled?

The first Option called Mass Storage (Faster file transfer)
And the second one called MTP (Media Transfer Protocol).

Aha...
When I have USB Debgging on I get the the Mass Storage (phone shows up as removable disk) and when I have USB Debugging off I get the MTP (phone shows as GT-N7000)....

Thanks to you both!

Was searching for the same..glad you have posted...thanks guys!!!

Advantage of MTP is, while trying to copy some media files it ll ask you to "convert and copy". so that Note can play that media file.

To add to it!! MTP mode is slower than usb mode and while on MTP mode u can access the card on phone and computer simultaneously!!

This is not the case for me

I have USB Debgging enabled, since I use adb for some stuff, however, usb will always be in MTP mode!

i disabled USB Debgging and tried it then enabled it again but it is always in MTP.

does anyone know why?

i am using rooted stock rom.

Bub,
Before you connect the cable open settings> wireless and network > usb utility > connect usb storage then it will ask you to connect the cable. Connect the cable and it should mount the phone as usb storage...



Hit thanks if it helped


Peave out!!

"wireless and network" OMG, i remember seeing the usb setting somewhere then i looked all over but of course not inside "wireless and network" !! why here, should be under storage or something more related...

anyway, thanks for the help
