I'm on Fresh Toast 2.1 (official eclair w/ fresh customizations)
When I plug in a USB cable to my phone from any computer, from any OS (OS X 10.5, 10.6 and Win XP/7) I don't get offered the option to mount as a drive.
I looked in the 'Connect to PC' settings and tried it with 'Ask Me' both checked and unchecked. I also tried to make Disk Drive mode the default and that didn't help either. The only way I can mount it the SD as a drive is by rebooting to Recovery and toggling MS.
What a pain! Any ideas?
Are you using the app. Autostarts? I had that exact same problem until I realized that I disabled PC Synchronization (using Autostarts) from starting up when the phone boots. Once I re-enabled it again it worked just fine.
check on the top left of the status bar, if you can see a triangle with charge only, then slide down the status bar and press on charge only... let us know if this works. Also make sure that debug is off, menu> settings> applications> Development
Yeah, I'll bet what you did, dude, is set it to "Always use this option" when you plugged it in one time, maybe on purpose, maybe on accident, but who cares, that's probably what it is. Is that option even existing on certain roms? I just checked, mine doesnt say that. Worth a shot lol.

Crap, I think you're right! Trying this now; i disabled everything. Will report back with results.
UPDATE: Nope, that wasn't it. PC Synchronization isn't even an option for me to enable/disable.

Not the issue here. I'm not a noob.
But why disable debugging? I've always been able to do both simultaneously without issue. Until Fresh Toast 2.1, that is.

Negative.
Is it possible that it is recognizing it as a charger instead of a computer? Have you tried other cables and/or computers?

Oh weird. The PC Synchronization shows up in the section called After Startup for me. Hope you get it figured out.

Just looking around for a solution to that annoying notification sound that blasts whenever I plug in my phone via USB. I think I disabled it once but I recently wiped and can't find any options to disable it now.
I know when I plug my phone into USB, I don't need a notification sound to let all my co-workers know I'm plugging in
I guess a temporary fix is to just turn off the volume, but I would very much like to just be able to disable the notification.

Hmmm... it is unchecked already. But the sound still is there when I connect USB.
Might be a bug in CyanogenMod 4.1.9.2? I recently updated to it and I didn't notice it on earlier versions.

I don't know about that. I've been to lazy to update so I just know that works on his earlier version.
Good call. I'll submit a bug report and see if anyone else has the same problem.
If it's just on mine, well FML then.
What is the exact notification name? Is is "USB Connected" or "USB debugging connected"

I get both, actually... not sure which one is giving me that sound either.
Well there's another thing to do would be just to disable your notification sound all together, but then you wouldn't hear if you get a message unless you use an alternate messaging app.
Where you been fingerlickin, this day is just draggin.
sorry, work is busy today.
you are getting the sound from both of them. one can be disabled by supreme's suggestion the other is disabled by disabling usb debugging mode in the development menu

Yup, that worked, thanks.
Wonder if it will prove problematic for adb...?

I would assume, I would think whenever you use adb just remember to check that.
good.
keep in mind that ADB will not work and the su app might timeout with usb debugging turned off.

Simple solution is to set the windows device connect to none.
Here's the skinny,
Updated to 2.1 and re-rooted.
Loaded Fresh 2.1.2
All looks good.
When I plug the USB into the pc it automagicly goes to disk drive WITHOUT me selecting any options.
It also opens a dialog box on the pc!
Shouldn't I have to select the disk drive option?
At times I want it to stay Charge Only till I'm ready.
And to use the phone I have to switch it back to charge....but is this normal?
The default setting is Charge Only !!!!
make sure the "ask me" box is checked, then it will have to ask you if you want to connect.
go to settings > connect to pc > Ask me
Dip me in BUTTERMILK and roll me in FLOUR, how the heck did I miss that one?
You'd think after loading 12 different ROM's here that I'd have been able to catch that one!
Thanks.

Hey guys,
For some reason, I can't mount USB unless I'm in debugging mode.
I plug the cable into my phone. The phone will bleep. I'll see the little USB logo and in the pulldown, under ONGOING, I can see it there, but usually there is two lines of text, but I only see one. When I click on it to be presented with the mount option, I hear the bleep when I click it, but nothing comes up.
Or maybe my PC isn't recognizing it unless in debugging mode? I have all the drivers installed. I'm positive I do, because it was the only way to get the super one click root. I've never had problems mounting.
On a side note, maybe it is relevant, my wifi connectivity has gotten really bad the last few days. My connection has stayed the same, and I've check all the usual PC settings, power cycle, etc. I can't check my Twitter, I can't send emails with attachments. Uninstalling and reinstalling the Samsung drivers didn't work. When in debugging mode, and I plug in, I did notice in the device manager, there would be something "ADB" popup. That's what's not showing itself in non debugging mode.
I'm not sure what I could have done. Any ideas? Thanks!
Go in to settings, usb settings and choose mass storage, if it's set to ask on connection it sometimes doesn't bring up the mount option in the notification bar, you'd think it would mount auto magically but it doesn't.
Edit; sorry didn't read the whole post, sounds like a driver issue..

I figured that much. The combination of things I've attempted so far regarding the drivers has not been successful.
Mounting USB on Rogers
Hey there I've noticed the same problem until I actually pulled down the top menu bar at the top where the USB symbol is. You pull that down and look for the USB settings icon tap that and choose MOUNT and or UNMOUNT.
Hope this helps....I only noticed this on Eclair 2.1 and not on Froyo where it actually brings up a dialogue box.
Just a word of advise, when you unlcok it with the unlock software from here beware you might end up with a generic or false IMEI number as I did.
I get the drop down, and I see the USB option, but clicking on it does nothing. The PC won't recognize it.
For those who are having this issue, the only way I've manage to fix this is:
1. Uninstall Samsung drivers and delete extras manually.
2. Restart PC.
3. Reinstall driver.
4. Restart PC.
5. Plug in device and give it a few minutes.
I'm on Windows 7 64bit. I've had to do this twice so far, and it worked both times. Hope it helps.
I had this problem also and after looking around I found several people that suggest switching to a USB port right off the mobo. After doing this it connects every time.
Hello guys,
i've been following your forum for quite some time and it's been helpful for me so far, but two or three days ago i came across a problem, which i cannot solve and didn't find anything about it here or on the web, so i decided to register.
I'm a owner of Xperia Z, Android 4.1.2, 10.1.A.1.350, not rooted. Couple of days ago there were some updates available, some not important app like Xperialink or something, and since that day the "mobile data tuned off" notification keeps popping up on top of the stack in the notification bar and it is freaking annoying. Usually on top i had an email with part of it that i could already see, or a missed call with the icons "call back" and "send a message" what was really usefull, but now, because of this data transfer notification, nothing like this is showing (check the attached screenshot). The "clear" option does not work for this notifaction, neither can it be swiped away. Has anyone else stumbled upon this problem and maybe solved it?
Thanks for your time and any useful advices in advance
Szymon
Dang, really no one? :|
maybe you should click 4th icon from left side and it might be gone ^^
I don't speak Polish, but if I'm not mistaken the message says "Mobile data disabled".
This could be because you've switched off mobile data manually from the quick settings, or because in Power management settings you have "Low battery mode" enabled and one of the options it to turn mobile data off. Turn off Low battery mode or uncheck "Mobile data off" and you should be sorted.

Yes Sushifiend, didn't know yesterday how it was called in english. I've checked what you wrote and it wasn't that, anyways i got low battery mode set to kick in when there is only 5% battery power left, so this couldn't be it. :|
Thanks for trying to help, but yesterday i even did a "back to factory settings" and after that and installing all the updates this problem returned...
Any other ideas or maybe someone else had this and managed to fix it?

I have had a similar issue, and wasn't related to any power save options ticked, but connection drop outs on my phone. It hasn't happened now for a while when I manually went in and selected my operator and re downloaded the internet/mms configuration. Although this phones radio is a bit flakey with drop outs still

I got my Gear Live off eBay last week. Didn't come with anything but the watch, and just got the cradle from China. And it's definitely Chinese.
It's a third-party cradle, and it lacks USB data. I know this because across three computers, it doesn't detect a device. All I can do is charge this thing, and use 4.4W. I can't force it to grab an update, and because the cradle can't do data, I can't ADB into the recovery when I can force it (I have to route commands through the phone's bridge).
I'm desperate here. Is there ANY WAY to work the Bluetooth ADB and force an update, or at least move an update and flash it manually? I'm seriously low on funds, and this is killing me to not have the software updates.
As a note, I purchased my cradle from this guy here on eBay. If I hadn't instantly given positive feedback, I'd yell about it not supporting data. This is real bull.
EDIT: Seeing as it's a cheap charger anyway, I figured I'd pry it apart to see what actually makes this thing tick, and the results are supremely underwhelming. I've attached photos, but I can't see them being anything more than voltage regulation, to ensure nothing bursts into flames.
Go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7oRjESQh_o
Follow the video fro unlocking the Gear Bootloader. Make sure to use v2 of his software. v3 is riddled with bugs. Once you unlock the software, use option 8, then reboot. Load back into the flashbooter/recovery menu, then use option 6. Update from there using OTAs.

It disconnects after rebooting into Recovery. Unless it's possible to throw a flash down while in the OS, I think I'm gonna concede and grab an OEM cradle.

You can force the watch to boot into bootloader mode. Turn off your watch. Press power button and at the same time start swiping from top left corner of the screen to bottom right. (Diagonally) Do it multiple times.
