Happens when I try to download files to my Defy's SDcard, such as update.zips for various roms. Via MotoPortal's stock remote file manager.
What bugs me is that I cannon see any system in it, like, one moment a big file DLs just fine, another moment its "too big", then at some point it goes fine again, and again too big... All on pretty much the same Nordic .177 ROM.
Any idea what's happening and how to fix that?
100% not SDcard problem itself: just removed it from a phone, put into card reader and wrote on all the files I wanted.
They then were read on Defy without problems.
The moto portal is very fishy in my case. Everytime I saw a few different folders, and sometimes I saw none at all. I no longer use it now. For transfer of big files I set usb connection to mass storage. For small files I just transfer via wifi.
Speaking of "usb mass storage" mode, I only found the setting to do so deep in the MediaShare app. Is it also acessible somewhere else?

When connected with usb, tap the notification bar, tap usb connection, tap mass storage. Some switch widgets can switch on/off usb mass storage with a single tap.
Sorry if this was answered before, I couldn't find an appropriate thread for that.
So I installed latest OrDroid 2.7.5, everything went smoothly and works fine for now.
But I have issues trying to connect the phone to my PC and access internal storage.
Once I connect the USB cable I get the usual "USB Connected - Tap to change settings". Once I press it I get the "Portable hotspot & tethering" instead of the window where I choose charge/USB only.
In My Computer it appears as Digital Camera "HTC One X", but not as Removable drive as it was before.
Any ideas how to access the storage again?
Thanks in advance
This is not specific for ordroid but
Check under
Settings
Storage
Usb computer connection ( in three dotmenu or context menu)
It should be mtp or mass storage.

Thanks, but that is also a problem. I cannot find the Usb computer connection settings anywhere under the Storage. There's no 3dotmenu or context menu available either.
Found the answer to my question in one of the ROMs thread. Can be closed.
Care to repeat it here?
sure but it didn't really solve the problem, just helped me understood what's the reason for that

scroll down for post from user jackolus and see the next reply.
will have to try on my other PC with Win7 to see if it works.
Another option - go to Recovery and connect your phone to PC. This way it appears in My Computer as HTC Storage. Not the most convenient method, but still better than nothing.
any one know of any fix for this yet? i'm on mac and cannot mount sd card other than going into recovery. pain in the ass, every time i plug it in to my dock htc sync link pops up, tried installing it it but it's ****e, still doesnt allow direct access to sd.
If its not installed it pops up as a link, if it is installed it pops up the app. pain if i only want charge.
Really annoys me when they remove common used features.
Someone at HTC must have sat and had a thought, yes they have 32gb non removable sd card but it's highly unlikely they ever want access to it, lets take the option away.
There's no 'fix' as HTC has changed the storage from USB MS for MTP - unless they change it back there's not a lot you can do
EDIT: This might help...

Thanks, may have to revert to ics then, this is a big flaw for me, do a lot of transferring files to and from sd, cant be ****ed with entering recovery everytime.
Out of curuosity, would it be the same on AOSP jelly bean roms?
Guess i could try BT transfers

you can't mount sd card while using the phone unfortunately... you need to mount it from recovery
Hi Forum members,
I have a HTC One X with JB. Since the latest Synch Manager (SM) I am not able to synch anything other than Phone Storage. This is because SM doesn't see anything else. At the same time in Explorer I have a folder Internal Storage. This is the folder I also want to synch (partly). So now I can't synch music and pictures, because they are on the Internal Storage.
Anybody has any ideas how to resolve this?
Furthermore before JB I could choose what to do when I connected to my PC: only charge; use as HD; synchronize; tethering and another option. Now I don't have that possibility and tapping "USB connected" on the 'drop down' list only gives the option to change settings for tethering.
Ones again: anybody has any ideas how to resolve this?
Greetings,
Zooi
Did you update SM to the latest version ?
Yes, I have version 1.1.65.0 and the program tells me I have the latest version.
Uninstall and reinstall maybe ? Or you could mount the device in Recovery Mode so it appears as USB Mass Storage instead of MTP
After uninstalling I downloaded the latest version from the HTC website. This appeared a new version: 1.1.66.0!
Now the SM not even detects the phone :crying:, let alone finds the Phone storage or the Internal storage. So nothing is synched and I still cannot change the mode on my phone from "Charge only" (I think, for I can't see in what way the phone is connected to the PC) to "Synchronize".
I also switched the phone off and back on again, but it changed nothing.
In "My Computer" I can see the phone, but only the Internal Storage. Where is the Phone Storage?
So I'm still not able to synch the phone in the SM program. Suggestions anybody?

No idea on your first question, but the above behaviour is normal. In Android 4.1 (and above) MTP is used to connect to the device rather than mounting it as USB storage. The only way to connect it as a mounted USB storage device is to do it in recovery (as someone already suggested).
But the recovery mode can only be accessed through a rooted device? Mine isn't rooted.

Yes, sorry. Assumed since you were posting on here you'd be rooted.
Anyway, try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34660458
Still uses MTP but reading the thread it sounds like it'll let you access internal storage. I've not tried it since I'm not on Windows anyway, but might be worth a shot.
Same here sync manager does not work on mine. However, windows media player work fine.
I just install the sync manager for the driver.

Thank you all so far for trying to help. Nothing worked, so I still can't access the phone storage and SM doesn't synch other files than music and pictures.I guess I have to manually copy files from internal storage to my PC.
Greetz,

Internet pass through don't work
Internet pass through don't work !
I can sync music between my PC with HOX, but no internet pass through via usb cable!
I have v. 1.1.66.0 Sync manger installed on my PC!
Any solution? Thanks!
I've had my HTC One X for 2 days and I want to ask if this is a normal behavior or something is wrong. When I connect the phone to PC via USB I can access the files only using Windows Explorer. It appears there under "Portable Devices" as "HTC One X". When I double-click there is folder called "Internal Storage" with my files in it. But, is it possible to mount the phone as a regular disk drive (with disk letter assigned, for example E:\), so I can browse the files using Total Commander? I've tried different USB ports but without success. I believe my drivers are working fine.
I've been looking over similar topics here but everyone was talking about looking into "Connect to PC" option in Settings. But I don't have such an option in my Settings! Is it normal? My old Desire had it and I could choose Charge Only/Disk Drive/USB Tethering etc.
When I plug my One X to the computer, the "USB Connected" notification pops up. But when I click on the notification, there are only Hotspot, USB network and Bluetooth options. Nothing related to connection type. See troll.sk/random/scr_usb.png
I've tried turning on/off the USB debugging, but it's still the same.
Is this normal behavior of Jelly Bean 4.1.1?
Edit: when I access Clockwork mod there is an option to mount the USB Drive. When I select this option the internal storage of the phone magically appears in my computer as a regular disk drive just as I wanted. But it's possible only in recovery mod, never happens in normal interface.
Yes... It has been changed after jb update.

Yep this is normal. Google is changing the way that device storage is handled, and as a result this new way has been rolled out by HTC in their JB update. The device will be mounted as a MTP/FTP device instead of the traditional USB storage method.
There is no way that you can mount your device as an USB storage (as E:\ drive, etc.)
BUT, there are a few other ways that you can do this:
1] If you have rooted your phone, you can mount your phone as a USB storage via clockworkmod recovery.
2] If you have NOT rooted your phone, you can download an application called AIRDROID from the market. This will wirelessly allow you to mount your phones USB storage.(But works ONLY on wifi)

4] or just using Bluetooth
I was ever confused on how to enable this process. After a bit of try, I finally found this.
To enable USB Mass Storage on CM10.1, do the following steps.
In case you haven't enabled Developer Option menu in Setting, do below:
1. Go to Setting --> About Phone. Once opened,scroll down to the end and tap Build Number 7 times. Once you're done, go back and you should see "Developer Option" and "Performance" in Setting menu.
2. Enable Android Debugging.
3. Plug in your USB cable between your phone and computer.
4. Then, you will see notification on the Status bar. Pull it down and tap "Connected as a media device"
5. Select "Mass Storage" and you will see "Connected as installer" (This wouldn't end up here).
6. Pull down the drawer and you should see "USB Connected". Tap it and your mass storage will be switched.
