Is it possible to delete the sync manager files, taking up nearly 4 gig of the space on the phone, from the phone? (The ones that appear as a cd when plugged into windows.)
Maybe I'm missing something obvious?

Hello -
I have been trying to get music transferred from my computer running Ubuntu 10.10 to my new Thunderbolt with zero success.
The computer will recognize the phone when I plug it in and select Disk Drive from the phone, but it shows up as having no available storage space, so I can't even drag-n-drop music to it.
Has anybody else had any luck with this?
Thanks!
Sounds like it's not automounting. When you plug the phone into your computer and choose disk drive, is there an icon in Nautilus, or whatever file manager you use, for the phone? If so have you tried right clicking it and choosing "Mount." Otherwise you can just mount it from the terminal.
I use ubuntu 10.10 as my media center on my laptop and have transfered music using it. It took me awhile to figure out how to sync my music, however, i was able to access the sd card right off the bat after plugging it in. Navigate to /media and see what is listed there.
On a whim, I checked for system software updates on the computer and there were a few that needed installed. After installing them, everything works great. I'm using Rhythmbox and the phone now shows up in there and will let my sync.
Thanks for the suggestions!
When I hook up my Prime to my PC, I can see a bunch of the standard directories (Alarms, Android, etc), but a lot of stuff is missing. For instance, I backed up some apps into a 'backups' directory, but I don't see it on my PC. I do, however, see it in file managers such as Astro.
Any ideas? Hopefully I'm just overlooking something simple.
I've done a couple searches, and the recurring theme is "Kies is the buggiest piece of software ever written by Samsung."
And so far I can't get it to transfer my modest (~3,000 song) music library to my GS3. I've tried splitting up the playlist into smaller ones, even putting in on internal memory versus the SD card. Every time the result is the same, the sync freezes and I have to force quit the Kies app, then delete the "media" folder and start over.
That said, anyone have some obvious advice that I've overlooked? How about an alternative for getting my music on my phone? Doubletwist/iSyncr don't work without paying for them, and the drag-and-drop's not going to cut it for me, since I'm importing from a larger music library on my PC.
Thanks in advance!
Manually copying and pasting will be the only way to guarantee a 100% successful sync

If only that were true!
I just tried your advice and drag/dropped my iTunes playlists into a folder to export the songs, mounted the S3 in MTP mode on my XP box, and it freezes up after a while ("not responding"), and then when I remount it, only a few files show up.
Am I looking at a situation where I need to replace the USB drivers, or am I just a mouthbreather?
Questions about HTC Sync Manager and HTC Sync which seem to be two separate programs.
When I plug in my DNA to my PC, I see two drives pop up in addition to the HTC6435LVW Internal Storage Drive. Both are CD Drives, with one having the HTC Sync Manager files, drivers and install programs and the other with TL-Bootstrap files and folders.
What's that all about? Do I need that "stuff"?
I am having problems with those programs not working any way. They start auto-loading music, etc that I don't even want. Can't find out how to stop auto-load. Personally I don't want these programs. I would rather "drag and drop" the files to to my phone storage folders. Can I remove these drives somehow? I want to keep this DNA as simple as I can.
Anyone have comments? Thanks
Remove the HTC sync from your comp, but you need to keep the drivers .. just dont delete them , you can always use use windows media to sync music , or just drag and drop into the music file on your phone:beer:

Thanks for reply. Can I also remove something on my phone so those two drives don't pop up all the time?
ALSO
I noticed another program that my DNA appears to have installed: "VCast Media Manager" Can I deep 6 that also? How?
Edit: I found out that was replaced. Must have been left over from previous HTC Phone.
Can't wait to ROOT some day!!!
Hello,
I was wondering if anyone knows how to make the phone show up as a harddisk instead of a portable device. The main reason for this is the fact that all my file managers cant properly detect the phone's storage. But in windows i can just drag and drop. I would like to have some scripts running to automate the sync "manually" instead of that HTC sync manager program. Is this possible?
No unfortunately because of the way the device is partitioned that's the only way it can be mounted
Slithered from my HTC One X+
