How to enable USB mass storage on Samsung Galaxy S4? Well, it is not possible for the moment. SGS3 Easy UMS application (which works on Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2) is not working on Galaxy S4 Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean. By the way, SGS3 Easy UMS is able to make external micro SD card as USB mass storage only. It can’t mount internal storage. Therefore, you are stuck with card reader now. Personally, I think this is better. Why? Galaxy S4 still does not support UHS-I standard. Therefore, you are not getting the best reading and writing speed out of your microSD card. My 64GB Samsung microSDXC Pro UHS-1 Card is able to get 75 MB/s reading on card reader while 36 MB/s on Galaxy S4 only.
