USB Connection: ActiveSync/Mass storage

[Guest tacchan23]

Anybody found a way (if there is an exe, how to make a link, etc) to launch the USB Connection setting page?

I think it would be nice to have a shortcut and place it on a homepage screen to quickly switch the connection mode.

it is no .exe or something but is quite quickly too.

1. touch the upper part of display( operator,signal etc.) and large icons menu appears, click on any button from this menu.

2. touch arrow UP and switch basic and general menu- USB connection

so you must 5 CLICK but it lasts max 5 sec..fast and simple enough for change to use several a week.

Have you tried the nueMassStorage you create a shortcut, and change without having to use the config menu omnia, the download page is:

I hope I was of help

Is that an application for doing the same thing as the Samsung settings (switch between ActiveSync and Mass Storage mode)?

I would have liked not to install one more application, but if there is no other way to use the Samsung application I'll give nueMassStorage a try during the weekend:)

Another app which was a handy Smartphone, (non touchscreen) application I have used on a PPC previously.

I've not tried it on the Omnia2 but perhaps a quick message to developer may help with a PPC version?

The above app looks similar and I may try it later if time permitting.

if you do the same but is installed on the patch panel you will have to seek direct access to program files or windows, but does exactly the same, I hope it will be useful to inform me if you served,

Anyone found a way to actually toggle between active sync and mass storage WHITOUT using any menu at all?

In the i900 I've done a small script (i900 specific) that automates the process but it's still dependant on the USB Settings menu...

I want a seemless function. Something done via cmd or postmessage (something I can use in Mortscript). Does anyone know how to?

[Guest sinancetinkaya]

Just copy this file to windows\start menu\programs

USBMode.rar

[Guest frmariam]

Thanks but...

1- That's a Omnia2 exclusive thing (there is no such exe in the Omnia i900 rom)

2- That just brings up the USB Connection menu if I'm correct (that's not at all what I asked if you read my post carefully)

I want to toggle the mode WHITHOUT having to use any menu (a 1 click procedure... not open a menu, select usb mode and press ok). With registry alone I can set either SD Card or Internal Storage as the selected mass storage device but not toggle between Active Sync and Mass Storage as the USB mode (at least in the i900). I believe there's gotta be a way to do it via cmd or postmessage which I assume is similar in all Omnia models (hence why I'm asking here).

So anyone... Help?

I used i900, there is no such things as "just one click". You have to start Favorite Settings, then click USB Storage.

Omnia2: 1-Run the shortcut I gave you. 2-Select Mass Storage. 3. Press OK

i900: 1-Run Favorite Settings. 2-Click USB Storage

I don't think there is someone waste his time to make a tool for such thing ;)

I'm not asking for a tool. I intend to use Mortscript to achieve this. It should be fairly easy if I'm able to find the needed info.

I'm asking if anyone knows if such a thing is possible with cmd command to any system file or with postmessage. For instance with a single line of code using MortScript you can set the phone to vibrate via postmessage to HHTaskBar:

PostMessage("", 1156, 2, 0)

cmd commands and postmessage (even more so) may be somewhat obscure and not widely known. Modaco seems to be the place for Samsung stuff... XDA devs is a bad place to gather non HTC devices intel. I don't know if Samsung has disclosed such information or how to find it (is there any system logger for WinMo?).

I'm just a mere scripter but this strikes me as an easy task given we know how.

:rolleyes: Utterly failed in finding the correct system calls (or to what window to pass it).

Anyway I found an GPL app that is similar to the USBSettings app that already comes in the phone (design for the i710 but works in the i900... I assume it also works in the i8000). But it lacks cmd features... It should be fairly easy to implement to anyone with basic coding skill (which is not my case... all I can do is script).

I hate to be that guy but if anyone could do this the sources are hosted here. It would just need 2 commands (one to set the "active" and the other to set the "default" drive)...

as/ms

My toggle shorcuts for AS/mass storage working (based on mortscript)

[Guest frmariam]

That's similar to how I do it in my i900. Here's my script code.

Instead of using mouseclick I find it better to simulate key presses because this way it work regardless of device orientation (portrait and landscape):

SendSpecial ( "Down" )

Sleep ( 50 )

SendSpecial ( "CR" )

or

SendSpecial ( "Up" )

Sleep ( 50 )

SendSpecial ( "CR" )

But the point is this is a dirty solution. You still have the usb settings window showing up... If someone added cmd functions to the sources I posted above it would provide a perfect seemless solution.

your code d'not working in omnia2

[Guest frmariam]

your code d'not working in omnia2

LOL! Of course it didn't! It's for the Omnia1/i900 (wrote that in my previous post) so the exe isn't the same. But apart from the rest is similar.

Yet another reason why it would be cool if someone added cmd feautres to dci710usb. It should work on all recent Samsung phones (it was not written for the i900 but works nevertheless... I assume the same happens with the i8000 and other O2 variants... care to try?).

This is all awefully complicated for what tacchan wants. See this post for the shortcut to go straight to the USB Connection page with a single press on the i920.

If that doesn't work on the i8000 (may be different), then this post explains how to figure it out for yourself using FDC Task Manager.
