Hi

I have problems with my mobile phone to be recognized by my AmigaOS 4.1

Does anybody know if and when we will get new drivers for mobile phones?

Thank you

@newlight

Which phone?
Which OS?
Can you set your phone to "PTP", "Mass Storrage" or at least "data" in the USB settings?

I have an Android based phone here, rather new and it is only recognized, when i set USB to "Transfer image files" none other will work (except charging), but that is only available in the phone once it is connected.

@newlight

Your phone likely uses MTP for file transfer. When will we see support? When someone writes an MTP driver if source exists.

In the meantime I was going to suggest Airdroid but it's not working anymore.

@Raziel

I tested 1 Huawei and 1 LG.The first from my mother and the second from my father.Both have Android I think.

And mine tested before with the same error.It is new and it has Android

How may I setup "PTP","Mass Storage" or "data" on the USB settings? Can they work any with these?

As i wrote above, plug in the phone, wait for the USB options to come up (in the phone), you may swipe the top bar down to get to the options, then set it to "image transfer", or PTP (Picture Transfer Protocol).

If that works an USB message window should pop up (on the amiga) telling you that it's "scanning the phone" which may take a while depending on the amount of pictures on the phone.

iirc mass storage and data won't work on the amiga due to missing drivers (so scrap tha comment of mine)

@newlight

It's the source, you'll have to compile it yourself but it will probably not run out of the box.

@Raziel

In case I want to compile stuff for my mobile (and other users)

How can I compile it?

Isn't it much easier to use some "cloud storage" available to both phone and Amiga? Isn't there software for android that lets it be mountable using SMB over LAN?

Hmm... I get my Android 7.0 phone mounted on Poseidon (MorphOS) with the PTP driver although it looks to use MTP at the phone end. In any case I can see both my interal storage and extenal SD card on the mounted device and can access all kinds of files, not just pictures...

From the Poseidon log:
0-ptp.class: This might be an MTP device, we will look in detail.
0-ptp.class: Trying to use this MTP device with the PTP driver.

Soo.. should OS4's PTP driver work also? Are the protocols compatible? Or are there some extensions in Poseidon ptp class?

Or just use SD card in the phone and use that with a card reader to move files around...

@jPV

I've got an Android 7.0 as well.
There is something not supported (and not well behaving either) in the AmigaOS4 driver, or so it seems.

If i plug in the phone for the first time, i get a message window on the phone asking:
Allow access to phone data
if i deny that, it sets the USB connection to "Charge", no access possible.

If i allow it, it sets the access to "Transfer files" and the PTP (AmigaOS4) window comes up "Scanning camera..."
Exactly that doesn't work, it is "Scanning camera..." forever.
There won't be the main PTP window, any pictures or any access, it just sits there forever waiting for something (from the phone presumably).

I need to swipe down to reach the USB settings, set those to "Transfer images"
and THEN it works, but ONLY accessing the images AND ONLY after unplugging/replugging.

I HAVE to set it to charge FIRST and THEN set it to "Transfer images", otherwise it won't work:
E: [14:31:09] ptp.usbfd | DevAbortIO | Bad EndPoint ptr in IO req (0x00000000)
I've got on error in the USB log, probably due to the aborted "Scanning camera..." from the "Transfer files" mode, that error never appears when i switch modes otherwise.

It will also NOT work, if i have set it to "Transfer files" ONCE.
There is no way to get to the images then.

I HAVE to unplug the phone, replug it, "deny access", swipe down, set USB to "Transfer images" and ONLY THEN will it work.

@newlight

Try Google: drive and sync images from the net instead.

This works, to some extent. Usually doesn't list all files, only a few. but if I sync often (like once a month or so) I can get everything. By syncing I mean copy

How? Having my mobile connected to the AmigaOne X5000 google list all files?

SMB can be tricky, but for all my transfer needs with any platform I use FTP Server (Pro) by The Olive Tree on my Android devices. I'm sure there's many other apps out there that achieve the same thing, but that's the one I've always used and have had no reason to change it.

It saves messing about with having to use the horrifically broken MTP protocols, or having to dismount cards from the Android OS when transferring using USB Mass Storage (which most phones don\t even seem to support now, anyway)

I'm supprised that no one has mentioned that AmigaKit's Enhancer Pack has a working PTP USB Driver that replaces the one from Hyperion which I could never get to work. I've tested the Enhancer Pack one with an IPhone SE & a Samsung tablet - it works with both.

I discovered the A-EON Enhancer PTP support not long ago by accident, plugged in phone to charge off the USB. Seems to work fine although I don't see any previews just empty frames (looks like there should be). Also lets me download the MP3 files from the phone (HTC Android).

You could use Google Drive, if you use Google Photos your phone is probably syncing all the photos to Google Drive in the background already. There is an AmigaOS handler for Google Drive (link below).

Others have suggested FTP, I set up a 'shared' drawer on the AmigaONE using A-FTPServer and can copy files to this using an FTP client or file manager with FTP support on the Android side. Read the A-FTPServer docs for recommendations.

A-FTP Server:

@BCP

I don't know which Enhancer is; Is it the original sent by in my case by Amedia France or is it something newer?

@dan.hutch

I downloaded the 2 programs you advice me here.The A-FTP I can run it without program without any problem.

And the amigacloudhandlers I don't know how to run it.

Can anybody help me please?

@newlight

For cloud handlers, the idea is it mounts Google Drive as a device on Workbench.

I found I needed a new link from the author to get an authorisation code from Google to allow the handler to work. Follow the included readme carefully to setup and email author for a fresh link, the one included no longer works. He sent me a new one which worked but I have yet to get round to finishing the setup.

The cloud handler package should allow read only access to Google Drive and if you register you get write access as well.
