[SOLVED] usb connection smartphones

peewster · 2011-07-23 21:25:16

Hi all,

i'm trying to get my smartphones to work with my arch x64 build. It does recognize them trough lsusb, but when i try to use the mass storage from the phone arch can't see the sdcard so i can mount them, i'm probably missing some drivers or modules, but i don't really know where to start.

Can somebody give me a push in the right direction ?

Are we talking Android, iPhone, other?

Android

lsusb shows me my LG phone:

Bus 001 Device 007: ID 1004:618e LG Electronics, Inc. Ally/Optimus One/Vortex

On the Android, Go to Settings->Connect to PC Then, either :
1. under Defualt connection type select Disk Drive or
2. Enable Ask me. In the future, a menu will pop up when you connect the USB. When it does, select Disk Drive

Reconnect your drive, and you should see a usb drive appear under /dev. Most environments will auto-detect the USB drives. My HTC provides two drives in the USB stack. One for internal storage, and one for the SD

BTW. Here are the differences in my /dev tree with my HTC connected and not connected:

ewaller@odin:~ 1008 %ll /dev > connected
ewaller@odin:~ 1009 %ll /dev > notconnected

Ok, i'll take a look again, but i'm sure i never used the debugging mode in arch before, firts i want to get the usb mass storage to work :-)

peewster · 2011-07-23 22:53:31

Ok, got it working :-), fdisk -l didn't showed me anything but a: ls /dev/ | grep storage did, so now i can use the mass storage, thanks !
