We all have that moment of sadness when we realize we just bought ourselves an expensive Samsung high-end phone and yet it doesn't support a simple USB Mass Storage Mode. This is not Samsung's fault as this was implemented by Google ever since the release of Android 4.1.x. Luckily we have a fix for this. Read on to know more.
Where there is a solution, there is a catch. Yeah I totally made that up. Anyway, the catch is you can only enable USB mass storage on your MicroSD card that is inside. The internal storage will still be using MTP(Media Transfer Protocol) since this type of file transfer is bound by hardware which can't be fixed by mere software hack. But nonetheless, you do get stable USB storage for your MicroSD card so you can forget the annoying disconnection using MTP. This seriously gets on my nerves. Below is the procedure on how to Enable USB Mass Storage on your Galaxy Note 2, S3 and S4.
