N95 Mass storage mode

how can i transfer my device to the "mass storage mode" to be able to download maps?
thank you

Hmm maybe you have used the Maps app. while you were connected via USB to your computer. Disconnect your phone from the pc (you may format your card if you don't have any important data on it, just for safe ), run the Map application once to create the folders as mentioned above. Connect your phone to your computer via USB Mass storage mode (described above), then use the Nokia Map Loader application. I couldn't download maps to my phone either, because it was connected to my computer all the while! You have to connect your phone to the computer just for the time you are downloading the maps. So I think that will be your problem too. I hope I could help.

Nokia N95 - unable to activate mass storage mode

I'm having trouble with my Nokia N95 8Gb and mass storage mode.
WWhen I can eventually activate this mode after shutting down apps (just intellisync and location tracker), it usually lasts no more than 90s before the phone reboots itself.
This makes copying music rather difficult since
- The music apps on pcsuite/nseries pcsuite are useless and crash on any attempt to sync (Vista x64)
- Nokia music doesn't see the phone
- file copy in pcsync is slow
- USB mass storage mode doesn't work (ie for using iTunes sync)
I'm on the v20 software.
Any ideas?
I love my N95 8Gb -- but this is why people but iPhones/iPods... it's just too hard.

Point taken, but more often than not it's the O/S itself that is causing a problem, hence the need to perform the reset. And I don't think there is a core dump anywhere that you can examine. Even if there was, would it mean anything to you? You don't know what system variables are where (there won't be any debug symbols) and I'd challenge you to reverse engineer the system stack (if you knew where it was) in order to find the point in execution where the failure occurs.
This is, of course, assuming it is a software problem. If the problem persists after a reset and, optionally, a firmware reinstall, then it could well be a hardware problem that a Nokia Care Point should take a look at.

Nokia C5-03 and Mac OSX Lion - Problems copying files to phone in Mass Storage mode

Whenever I try to load more than one file from my iMac (early 2008, OSX Lion 10.7.2) to my new Nokia C5-03 in Mass Storage mode —since the files are MP3s and Multimedia Transfer doesn’t seem to work at all, I keep on getting asked which transfer mode I want to activate for several times, I always choose Mass Storage, and then the first file starts copying, but when it ends with the first one I have to wait for ±30s only to get asked the same again and again until the second file starts copying, and so on.
It’s driving me crazy, I’ve tried setting in the USB connectivity options not to ask me for the mode when I connect the phone, but it doesn’t work either. It still goes very slow and a lot of “USB Mass Storage transfer mode activated” messages appear.
I’ve tested it with a friend’s C5-03 and it’s still the same, but when connecting them to a Windows computer everything goes great and fast. Has somebody had this problem before? Is there a solution to this? I don’t know if this is the correct board to post this, sorry if it’s not.
Thanks in advance.
PS: Sorry if there are any mistakes or my English sounds weird, i’m Spanish.

totally from scratch. Start by disconnecting your phone. In
Nokia Ovi Suite, select Tools > Options > My devices. Select
your phone at the top of the window and click Remove this

Then, select Tools > Add new device, and follow the
instructions to reconnect the phone.
If this doesn't solve the problem,
-Uninstall the following programs withAdd/Remove Programs in
Control Panel (called Programs and Features in Microsoft

PC Connectivity Solution
Then, download and install the latest version of Nokia Ovi
I hope this helps.

How do I get Mass Storage Mode Support turned on my BB?

Okay I am sure there is a way to do this but I have not yet found it. under media card in the setup options I have the following:
Media Card support set to yes
Encryption Mode: Security Password and Device
Encrypt Media Files Yes
Mass Storage Mode Support: is off with a little red lock by it.
I really need to be able to change it to on, any ideas? My IT support team does not have a clue of how to turn it on.
thanks in advance Glenn Thomas..

If there is a lock icon next to it you can't enable mass storage mode. It means that the setting is forced via IT Policy. The IT Policy is pushed to every device that is connected to a BES server.

Mass Storage Mode

My Droid X2 O'Reilly manual says that by plugging my Droid into a Mac computer USB port I will get a trident icon on my menu bar. And, that upon clicking on the trident I will get a menu that includes a choice of Mass Storage Mode. Upon selecting MSM I will get a box on my screen allowing file transfers.
I get no trident. Does Mass Storage Mode exist?
There is a file called /System/Library/Extensions/IOUSBMassStorageClass.kext/Contents/MacOS, but I cannot access it.

Look in the Settings for your phone for something like USB mode or Connect to PC mode and set it to Mas Storage. Or it may already be set to that. The Trident is the USB symbol.
You'd be better served posting to an Android forum.

HELP - Mass storage mode ??? 3G running 6.0?

Hi Folks. I am not new to Blackberry and have been a user for years. However, I have a problem and I hope someone can help me. I am trying to disable Mass Storage Mode on my recently upgraded to 6.0 Curve 3G. I click on "Options" then "device" then "storage" All it shows here is compression (checked), Media card support (checked) application storage free space, Media card storage total space, free space. that is ALL!!! THERE IS NO "enable mass storage" to check or uncheck on this page or on the dropdown menu from this page. I have spent about an hour reading online and trying to figure this out and can not find a solution. HOW DO I DISABLE mass storage mode on my Sprint Curve 3G in this new 6.0 bundle 1659?

It's stil there in BlackBerry device OS 6.0. The name is changed from 'Mass Storage Mode' to 'Media Card Support'.
From the Home screen of the smartphone, click
Options> Device> Storage> Media Card Support

ICS - Live With Walkman - Can't connect USB in MSC (Mass Storage) mode

Hi Guys n Girls,
I recently updated my LWW to ICS and I can't for the life of me get the phone connect to my PC in MSC, mass storage mode.
Can anyone help?
Thank you.

This question seems "answered" without an answer actually being there? I see the same problem - connecting the phone to my (Ubuntu/Linux) machine before (running GB) ended up in the phone (SD card) being mounted as external USB storage device just as one would except. With ICS, this doesn't seem to work out of the box anymore, but unfortunately so far I also didn't manage to change this behaviour. Any hints on that?
TIA and all the best,
Kristian

USB Mass Storage Mode Missing :-(

I just upgraded? to the Samsung Galaxy S III today and have been very happy for the most part. However...
I am EXTREMELY disappointed that the only options to transfer files to the phone/SD Card are to use the MTP and Photo protocols. I always loved my Android phone...built off of open source software...and using open standards (things like USB Mass Storage). It is incredibly useful to be able to plug my phone into almost any PC, running any OS, and be able to transfer files to and fro.
Where is the rest of the uproar? When are we going to demand that one of the most useful features on our phone be put back. It was already there...it was already working...and has been dropped for lame, limited use protocols... Why? Who is getting paid off? Why?
Bring back USB Mass Storage Mode!!!!

It is always a good idea to do some research... I have followed your suggestion and found that Google has two reasons for using MTP instead of USB Mass Storage. They are:
1) “A main reason for using MTP rather than for example the USB mass-storage device class (MSC) is that the latter operates at the granularity of a mass storage device block (usually in practice, a FAT block), rather than at the logical file level. In other words, the USB mass storage class is designed to give a host computer undifferentiated access to bulk mass storage, such as compact flash, rather than to a file system, which might be safely shared with the target device (except for specific files which the host might be modifying/accessing). In practice, therefore, when a USB host computer has mounted an MSC partition, it assumes absolute control of the storage, which then may not be safely modified by the device without risk of data corruption until the host computer has severed the connection.“ -sombody from Google
--My Response - "I am totally OK with the SD card not being safe to be mounted. During the time I choose to be connected (only when transferring files)...I DO want the PC and not the phone to be in complete control of the SD card."
2) “MTP is a big improvement over USB mass storage — for devices with lots of internal memory, a manufacturer no longer needs to come up with some hard partition between the USB mass storage and internal storage. Instead, they are all in one partition, with MTP providing access to the directory of media files that would normally be available through USB mass storage. This means there is no longer a need for apps on SD card for such devices, because what used to be the ‘internal SD card’ is in the same partition as where applications are stored. The storage on your device can be used for either applications or media, depending on what you want to put on it. You aren’t stuck with how much space the manufacturer decided to leave for the two areas." -somebody else from Google
--My Response - "I am completely OK with the removable SD card being treated separately. That is EXACTLY what I want. I want to keep MY DATA separate and only on the removable SD card. And all of the stuff that I don't care about...that can be easily reinstalled (apps and such) on the internal memory. It is a good design. The phone has enough internal memory that I don't have any trouble with space for Apps (so not a conern at all)."
--My Overall Response - "The loss of flexibility, portability, and usefullness does NOT come close to justifying removal of the USB Mass Storage protocol. I am still VERY disappointed."
Where is the THUMBS DOWN... and INCORRECT ANSWER?

Broken screen but need to enable mass storage mode blind

Hi there.
I have a Curve 8900 with a broken screen. I have connected it to Blackberry Desktop Software to get anything I can backed up. It appears to backup all application & organiser things, but wont let me sync music, pictures, or videos. Troubleshooter suggests that it's because I haven't enabled Mass Storage, but obviously I cant see the screen to see if prompts me to enable it. I have tried connecting my phone and randomly scrolling to see if I can click "yes" to enable it by chance, but it is just as likely that I have clicked "do not ask me again" and then clicked "no" as well.
Can anyone guide me through the long way of going into settings and changing it manually, bearing in mind that I cannot see what is actually happening? Or does anyone know a way around it?
Also, my menu was exactly the same as when I originally got it, with no added icons. I seem to remember 'settings' being on the last row but not at the very end. Thanks.
UPDATE- ok i've worked out how to get into settings, but can someone tell me how to get to Enable Mass Storage mode from there? Like either how many rows to scroll down etc, or if pressing a letter takes me to the correct option, and then where from there?

8310 desktop manager won't see photos in mass storage mode to transfer to computer

Redownloaded desktop manager today. Wasn't working. Download complete - no roxio on my computer software - should it show up separately? Will sync. Tells me no photos to download. Mass storage mode is on. What am I doing wrong? Thanks - Launa

Dear Launa
Do these things for your problem solution
AS you said re downloading completed an no roxio i dam shore that you donwload desktop manager 5.0 or 5.1 that will never work. Just follow the tips below
1.     download latest software from the BB web site its free. the latest version is 6.1
2.     Install and connect your device with PC using USB or Bluetooth. I preffer Cable (USB)
3.     Run it go to My Videos, My Pictures which are appeared on the left hand side pan of the software screen.
4.     Sync what ever you want.
If that does not work then do these
1.     If your data is on the memory card (Mostly the pictures and videos by default on the memory card but some time it is by default the phone memeory. If on the memory card then
2.     unplug you BB ad plug your BB again this time when you connect with the pc a message will be displayed on your BB screen which ask you to start Mass storage or not.
3.    Start Mass storage and copy paste the pictures you want from BB to PC or PC to BB
4.    For memory card instead of pluging the cable you can use a Memory Card Reader. But Mass Storage will be prefferd coz in that way you are able to browse both memories PHONE and CARD but in memory card case you just able to view card details not phone.
5.   Some time the folders are hidden in your PC and on the card for that Unhide all by going
if wndows 7 or vista then
My COmputer - > Organize -> Organize Folder and Stettings -> Scroll down and locate folder view and click the radio Show HIdden files and Folders. After that just beneth the Show Hidden Files and Folder Radio three options are checked "Hide Extentions for known file type and Hide protected operaing system files (recomended), just uncheck all of these and click ok it will prompt and message when unchecking just do it. and you see all the hidden files on the card. YOu can do it b going on Control Panel
For XP Users
Go to My Computer -> Tools -> Folder Option and the options are same as above stated and same here also you can do it by control pannel
Just let me know if this will solve your problem
Thanks and Regards
