Playstation 3 & TP2 As a USB Storage Device?

**deadwrong03** · #1 (**permalink**) 08-12-2010, 12:14 AM

When I first got my ps3 i used to be able to use my phone as a usb device when connected to the ps3 no problem and copy files over to my ps3. I had now all of a sudden im unable to do this and i have no idea why not? did a ps3 update cause this or something? is anyone able to do this still with their ps3 and tp2? it works fine if i plug my phone into the computer but for some reason not on the ps3

Yeah, there was an update last year that killed this function. I used to do that all the time with my Mogul.

It sill works for me but only sometimes and usually only if I have the don't ask again box checked.

Sony killed it with one of their updates. It was to prevent people from modding their PS3s.

Stop saying it doesn't work. It actually seems to be working better than ever today.

You are 100% correct. I haven't tried this in a while. It only sees the SD card?

Well I've never tried to recognize anything but the SD card but it probably wouldn't work in activesync mode due to no drivers.

Did you put in in disk drive mode and check the don't ask again box before plugging it in?
The card is formatted?

**deadwrong03** · #10 (**permalink**) 08-12-2010, 08:27 PM

Yes the card is formatted and i went to settings - connections - usb to pc - and selected disk drive and i took the check out of the box where it says "Ask me irst about USB connection type when I connect the device to the PC"

and then when i plug into the ps3 nothing happens. I formatted my sandisk 16gb yesterday, brand new out the box and everything but the ps3 wont read it, i had a card before this one and it wouldnt read that one either
