W850i can boot up in "File transfer" mode in which the Memory stick Pro duo can be accessed as an usb drive and no need for drivers.... copying the songs into the music folder on the ms pro duo is easier. i have never used Disc2phone.

When I used a W810i in my computer & Vista, I just installed the drivers available from SE website, after which I was able to see the memory stick as a removable storage in Explorer, just like my K750i. I simply copied the files to the sounds folder

 

[iamtheone]

oh boy oh boy...if these things go on sony will surely be able to get the better of nokia and all the other phone companies.so many new models in such a short time span is amazing.

 

[faraaz]

ah ok...then i hope W960 also supports direct drag & drop...

 

[gxsaurav]

^^^^ Can't say cos it is not out yet. However in case of W950i, just copying to Songs folder does the job, via Windows Explorer.

 

[Third Eye]

yes gx you are right there is no need to install software for connecting w810 to pc.

 

[CINTEL ENTRINO]

^^
is it... time to uninstall Pc suite...

 

[gxsaurav]

Yo, Nishant , stop dude.

Like I said, all phones do not support functionality as a removable mass storage device. Some do, some don't. Check for your model at the manufacturer website.

You are using a W810i, so if all you need is to copy songs, then just install the drivers & connect using the data cable. The memory card will show up as a removable storage device in "My Computer".

Although I would still recommend u to use MyPhoneExplorer.

 

[krazyfrog]

Holy $h!T!!! No...I didn't...and I thought you had to use something like Nokia PC Suite to connect phones like that...

I can use my phone like a usb drive then?? Without installing anything, which means I can do that on my Linux system too...man, this is so awesome. I was running Winblows through VirtualBox just so I could transfer photos and videos I took on my N80 to my linux-box...

N80 can be used in mass storage mode. The setting for that can be found in, well, Settings. No need for any drivers. All of the new nokia phones support Mass storage mode.

 

[rajasekharan]

superb video.....
my next update from k750i (finalized )....

 

[faraaz]

N80 can be used in mass storage mode. The setting for that can be found in, well, Settings. No need for any drivers. All of the new nokia phones support Mass storage mode.

Then how come when I connect my phone to my Linux comp in Mass Storage mode, nothing happens?? I already tried it out when I first went through all the confusion of trying to copy photos & videos from phone to comp.

 

[anispace]

wow awesome phone... the only reason i preferred Nokia over SE was the lack of Symbian but with w960i thats changed for sure.

 

[gxsaurav]

I've got a Nokia N80...and I upgraded the firmware just a month ago...but come to think of it, before reading this thread, it never occurred to me to try this in Winblows too...maybe if it works in that AND doesn't work in Linux...then I can try to fix it up in VirtualBox...

 

[infra_red_dude]

ah ok...then i hope W960 also supports direct drag & drop...

yes it does. works as usb mass storage out of the box widout any drivers. its official.

 

[faraaz]

Whoopee! I've started saving already...

There is a setting in the, well, Settings menu which allows you to choose which mode the phone works in when connected to pc. The options are pc suite which lets you transfer files using the pc suite and connect to net, Media Player which lets you manage your music through Windows Media Player and Mass storage which makes your phone a mass storage device when connected. Also there is an option whether to select and use one of these options by default when connected to a pc, or whether the phone should ask you which mode to choose when you connect to your pc. I think you should change the setting to Mass Storage. All these settings are for Windows. I'm not sure whether they'll work on Linux or not.
