Nexus One going into USB Storage Mode Automatically... - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My N1 is doing something weird...when i plug it into my computer , it automatically goes into USB storage mode, without me telling it to. I don't want this to happen, my macbook always yells at me when i unplug it, without unmounting it first...is there a setting a need to turn off? I have the modaco Froyo ROM...

if you have doubletwist installed then go into settings and turn off auto usb mode

you guys are so smart! Thanks!!
...damn doubletwist people...

/me is hoping for just a few more of these threads today.....

This was also happening to me but using the bog-standard FRG83.
I've never used DoubleTwist and so never had it installed.
However, I fixed the problem by going into Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB Debugging and then unchecking checkbox, then reconnect USB cable, then go back and recheck checkbox.
I suspect just unchecking and then rechecking the checkbox would have been enough.
Probably got another app doing whatever DoubleTwist was doing, but no idea which one.

The beta of winamp can be set to automount the SD. Might be worth checking...

Thanks a million.
After a reboot, my "fix" was undone. Sure enough, it was WinAmp doing the nasty business - setting now properly set!

Auto USB mount
Mine turned out to be from WinAMP Beta. Who thought that would be a good idea? Those tricky bastards.

[Q] PC not recognizing USB?

Anyone else having problems with your PC not recognizing the phone? Even after selecting mass storage in the usb settings, when i plug the phone in to the PC the little usb notification in the notification isn't showing up.

Have you installed the Samsung drivers?
yeah i've tried installing the drivers. the phone isn't even putting the usb icon in the notification tray anymore. just starts charging and that's it. i go to usb settings/mass storage and nothing. any ideas?
I got that too, I just put the usb cable in another usb port on my computer and tadaaaa: problem fixed
I had this issue and read in a forum (not sure where wish I did to give credit) where u need to format your internal SD memory (the built in 16 gig SD) I did that and it started to work again.

How about Menu > settings > applications > usb settings > ask on connection.....

I had/have this problem sometimes too. choosing "ask on connection" usually works. I find that if you select anything other than "mass storage" then exit out, then go back in and choose mass storage, it works again.
Usually only have to do it once after a factory reset or on a new phone
I find my connection to be hit or miss. The pc picks up the drivers fine but doesn't mount the phone as a drive. Kies is a pain to get going too. I read on here that you need .net framework 4 and also no file names over 16 characters, and without kies I think you need to be in debug mode on application settings. I still need to try the short file names and see if it improve it but I never really hook up to a pc anyway, my father has win 7 and I have kies on his computer. I have linux mint 9 on my own so I rarely get to fitz with it on a windows machine.

I'm having this problem, can't get usb debugging mode to turn off. It immediately turns on when I turn it off. It's as the just says, "yeah, you can uncheck it, but I'm gonna leave it on."

[Q] Can't connect my Captivate through USB anymore

Hi everyone,
I'm having issues connecting my Samsung Captivate to my computer. For about a week, it worked fine, I was able to transfer files to my phone but recently I noticed that the "USB connected" notification is not showing on the phone when plugged in to the computer.
Now, when I plug in my phone to the computer it just charges but doesn't comunicate with my computer. A friend of mine bought the same phone right after I did and he gets the "USB connected" connected when he plugs in his.
I tried using his USB cable but again, the phone is not recognized by Windows nor the phone detects it is connected to the computer. I've tried installing several USB drivers that I've come across on several forums, but nothing. I even downloaded and updated Kies to the latest version, but still nothing.
My phone is unlocked and NOT rooted, and I'm using Windows 7 x64. I've set the USB Settings to Mass Storage, even to Ask on Connection, but it doesn't ask anything when I connect the phone to a USB on my computer.
Sometimes Windows knows there is a device connected but says it couldn't recognize it.
I already did a factory reset, but the issue was not solved. I've tried connecting it to other computers, but still hasn't been able to connect my phone correctly.
What could it be?
Thanks!
Hmm. You have Mass Storage selected and up-to-date USB drivers. Try selecting USB-Debugging and Stay Awake in the Development option of your phone. If that doesn't fix it, then I have a few other ideas.
Make sure the usb door is completely open, it should click into place, some users have reported this solves their usb issues.
I did what you told me, but still my phone ain't recognized by Windows nor my phone is aware that it has been conected to a computer
What other ideas do you have in mind?

Have you tried using a different USB outlet on your computer? I had this same issue when I plugged my phone up using the USB outlet on the front of my computer then when I tried the one on the back of my computer it worked just fine.
Are you running a launcher app? I use launcher pro and can't connect until I change back to the default launcher with home switcher and launch it.

First off, think back. If it worked for a week and then suddenly stopped, what changed? Maybe you updated something on Windows or changed something on your phone. There's a reason it just stopped.
You can try using a free program called USBDeview.
It might do the trick for you and help you install the correct drivers. I'm thinking you no longer have them.
1. Download USBDeview (link is above)
2. Plug your phone in and open the program. Find all the HTC drivers-delete them
3. Unplug your phone and plug it back in
4. The correct drivers should install automatically
You can also try updating the drivers manually.
Galaxy S drivers (These are for ADB, but will work fine)
1. Click the Start Menu on your computer and right click "Computer"
2. Choose "Manage" --> it will ask you to continue --> "Device Manager"
3. Plug you phone in and look for it to pop up, probably under Portable Devices
4. Right click --> "Properties" --> "Update Driver" --> "Browse" --> "Let Me Pick" --> and navigate to the location you extracted the drivers to.
This is most likely a driver issue. I doubt your phone is messed up. You'll get it eventually. I also had a hard time getting my Captivate to connect. After uninstalling and reinstalling my drivers (more than once) it finally worked. One last thing, for now. When you uninstall drivers, also make sure you don't have any installed under your program list. As in, Control Panel --> Uninstall a program. Good luck!

A friend of mine, who bought the same phone on the same day as I did, plugged in his phone on my computer using my cable to the same port my phone was connected, and he did get the "USB Connected" notification on his phone

I did all that yesterday, but the device ain't listed in the USBDeview nor it shows up in the Device Manager
did you finally fix this problem? because I'm having the same issue here
Same here. It was working fine, I could connect to Kies, transfer music in Media mode and see both sd drives in Mass Storage mode. Then I rooted today and now I get nothing. In anything but Kies mode I get the Windows Bong of Recognition, but still not visible in Explorer. Also, my Home screen stays active instead of switching to the USB animation like it did before. I know this can't be a consequence of rooting the phone, can it?
EDIT: More weirdness, with the phone connected in Mass Storage mode if I look at My Computer in Explorer there are 2 extra drives showing, but they are greyed out and when I click on either of them it asks me to insert a card as the drive is empty. WTF???
UPDATE: I unrooted and managed to get my USB connection back to working. It is still a bit flaky as I sometimes have to disconnect/reconnect several times before it works, but at least it now works although it sometimes loses sync in the middle of transferring a file. Can't imagine why simply rooting the phone would cause the loss of USB connectivity. I am going to reroot and see if it occurs again.
OK, a rerooted the phone and this problem is now back. I have no problem connecting while in debugging mode. I installed OCD (non-Market apps mod) and when I turn off debugging and connect I get the Windows bong and see the USB icon in the Notification bar, but the MTP screen never comes up and I can't see the phone in Explorer (Mass Storage mode) or in WMP (Media mode). Kies can;t see it in that mode, either. I really don't want to have to unroot every time I want to look at the phone contents. Any ideas? PLEASE!
I'm having a similar problem - I installed the Perception ROM and immediately afterwards I can't see the USB connection at all from my PC or my Mac. The USB icon on the phone does not come up either.
I'm trying to get my hands on a different cable - but the weird thing is when I plug the USB into my computer the phone starts charging for like half a second and then stops.
This is really annoying. I tried changing the rom to Cognition 3.02 but that didn't change anything.
There are a few topics on this here on the forum - I would recommend the following:
How are you rooting your phones? Nobody has said exactly how they are doing this. Are you using recommended rooting methods? Or are you using some app found on the market?
Make sure you have USB De-Bugging is turned on.
Make sure you have it listed as ask on connection.
For those who can see the drives in Windows...
Plug in your phone and then pull down your notification bar and click on the USB connected message. It will give you an option there to mount your SDCard(s) to Windows allowing you to transfer files.
Kies is junk - I'd recommend uninstalling it as it seems to cause more issues then it solves.
Use the drivers I have posted in the Q&A section (these are the ones that are linked in Design Gears Odin 1 Click Back to Stock post btw) - but I would try and COMPLETELY removing the pre-existing drivers before installing the new ones.
Make sure the USB Cable is plugged into the back USB port that is directly on your motherboard - this will ensure it's not a computer/hardware related issue.
I know of one user who had to go through his computer and manually remove all remnants of other drivers. I have my phone connected to both a Windows XP 32bit and a Windows 764bit systems and have been lucky to not have any USB issues.
If none of that works - I'd suggest taking it to your nearest AT&T/Rodgers shop and see if they can get the phone to connect (make sure it's back to stock!). If not they should warranty replace the device.

This isn't my first rodeo... But to answer your questions:
I used the rooting method posted in XDA forums - the one-click rooting.
I've used the drivers included in the xda-forum. Not the kies software.
The only thing that changed was the loading of a new custom rom. The cable works (confirmed on my friend's phone). I can't get odin to restore back to stock because I can't get the computer to recognize the phone in either normal or in download mode. I've restored to stock using the jh7 in the stickied q&a thread
I don't think it's a hardware issue either - I think it's software-based. I'm going to try to take it to an at&t store today at lunch to see what they say.
I also have that problem only I noticed it when I cleared the dalvik cache. It messed up the auto rotate so it was always sideways and now I have no connectivity to the PC. Let me know how ATT treats you.

Potential (very annoying) USB connection issue

I went into menu -> settings -> connectivity, and set the USB connection to "Always Ask" when connecting to a computer so that it would ask me if I want to use Charging/Mass Storage/Media Sync/etc. Even with that box checked, no matter what I do, when I connect the phone to my computer, it does NOT ask me what USB connection mode to use. Can anyone else confirm whether or not they experience this problem?
Thanks!
SOLVED - driver conflict with my Samsung Epic. Connecting one then the other wreaks all sorts of havoc.
call Verizon or LG for that support..OR try your control panel windows settings..devices

Is the little USB symbol showing up in the notification bar?
If not...try a different USB port on the computer.
Sounds dumb, i know...but it worked for me today when I had the same problem. And I think I recall it working on my old Incredible.
SOLVED
SOLVED - driver conflict with my Samsung Epic. Connecting one then the other wreaks all sorts of havoc, between mass storage mode and whatnot. When I switch the LG from charge to mass storage and back on the fly, it's doing something to the samsung drivers. When i reconnected my samsung, then the LG again, things went cuckoo for cocoa puffs until I rebooted.
I can't post a new topic as I have less then ten posts but I have an issue with my connectivity as well. When unplugged the phone still shows the USB icon in the top left corner like it is plugged in. However when plugged in the phone will charge but when connected to a computer mass storage mode will not work or show up. I have tried it in windows xp/ osx on my MacBook. Windows 7 on my desktop and nothing. The drivers are good as it was working before. I have done a wipe/data, restored back to cubed 1.1 mod and it is still doing it. It doesn't bug me that bad as I use andftp to move my apostle back and forth from my NAS to sdcard. But I would like it fixed as trying to put music or ISO's for my psx emulator can take a minute over the wifi. Any help would be appreciated.

Why am i getting a Factory data cable connected and i cannot switch between usb modes?

[Q] how to enter mass storage mode with PC seamlessly?

Hey guys, been trying to figure out how to connect my phone to my pc without having to have kies installed on every computer I access using the usb cable. After struggling for a while I figured out the problem was because I had usb debugging mode activated, and once I unchecked it abracadabra! I was able to access my memory card just like any regular flash disk. The only problem am experiencing now is that, even though I have usb debugging unchecked, every time I connect the usb cable it automatically becomes checked again. meaning I have to go through the long process of going to settings> applications> development, to uncheck it again. Why is this happening?

Install these samsung drivers and you will be able to do so.
http://hotfile.com/dl/109276666/f22355e/SAMSUNG_USB.rar.html
Dont quite get the problem.
When I plug in the USB cable to the phone and PC, the phone's task bar shows a small icon at the top. I pull down the task bar (or what ever it is called - it is pull down), touch the info about USB, and up comes a dialog box about enabling USB storage. I touch OK, and there is a warning about not being able to use apps on the USB. I touch OK again, and I am now connected to the PC.
First time or so, I was asked to turn off USB debugging, and never had to do it again.
Then maybe its an issue with my phone, originating from the factory, coz everytime I connect I am forced to go find the usb debugging option from way deep in settings coz nothing appears in the drop down task bar until I uncheck it. I am now getting paranoid considering the first time I bought it and took it home I found out that the standard micro sd card I was issued with did not work and had to go back to the store and get a replacement card. Maybe I should have opted for a different phone too. "cockroach theory"

Thanks for the drivers, but that was not the solution I was looking for exactly as that would mean I would have to install them on every computer I ever connect to, seeing as I prefer to double up my phone as a flash disk too coz its harder to loose and no pal would ever ask to use your phone to go borrow something (thats how flashdisks get lost) and I can also charge the phone when am copying new movies and songs, catch my drift.

If i recall correctly this also happened to me when i bought the phone. But after i installed samsung kies or the drivers it got ok. But as you say, if you use many computers its not pratical. I mainly use this one so no problem for me.

When you use your phone as a flash drive, you can expect to use it as a normal flash drive - simply plug it in, and the PC recognises a USB mass storage device. There ought to be no need for any drivers. Even on windows PCs.
But, you will have to unmount the SD card from within the phone.
If you need to disable USB debugging mode each time, try disabling USB debugging without the USB cables plugged in The phone ought to remember it. The menu option is, IIRC, settings > USB and media.
Things are slightly different in 2.2.2 froyo, 2.4.5, 2.4.6 and the current 7.1 CM custom kernel I am using. So, I cannot exactly remember the menu option. But, it is not a driver issue.
BTW, I installed the samsung USB drivers for Kies and ODIN from the phone on a newly installed OS, and was on stock 2.2.2 Froyo then so I am very sure that this is not a USB drivers issue.
My phone just updated to 2.3.6 and every time I plug the USB cable in, debugging mode automatically activates, even though I have unchecked it without USB cable plugged or after it was plugged. When I try to enter mass storage mode I get prompted that some apps might not work while in this mode. I tap OK and the phone tries to connect but after a while reverts back to debugging. That would not be a problem if I was at my home computer as running keys unlock the mass storage mode adn I can use Total commander to load what I want, but when at work, I do not have admin right so I can not install driver. Until yesterday I was on Froyo 2.2.1 and mass storage was no issue...

I wish i could revert back to FROYO v2.2.1 , yet , i unable to find a valid/working download link for Froyo 2.2.1 DXKC1 , so i had to stick with it now or later.

First thoughts and current issues

Mine arrived yesterday, so I have not had much time to "play". But here are my first impressions and the issues I have found.
First impressions (coming from an LG G3).
It is super fast. I really like that.
The phone signal strenght seems better. So, either they "lie" on the display or the antenna is better.
No bloat - nice.
I got the 128Gb one. Loads of free memory and storage. I like that.
Screen is OK.
It came with dual sim slots which I didn't know - I can now use both sims in one phone.
Now, issues:
It won't connect to my PC. I get a "USB device not recognised" error. Spent ages chatting with their techie and I need to put it into USB debug mode and the load an ADB driver which they could not provide. How STUPID is that.
The capacitive button lights are so dim as to be unusable and only come on as you press on the spot. What is the point of that?
Bluetooth won't connect to my headset (MPows) unless I put it into APTX mode.
Bluetooth connects to my car for phone, but while it tries to play audio, there is nothing there. I have loaded some music and it plays OK using VLC. Maybe the music is in the wrong place but I have no idea how to check.
If anyone has any idea on my first issue, I would be grateful for some help.

I had this issue, it would appear to fairly common. What worked for me was the following.
1) Disconnect your phone and restart windows. (Restarting windows was necessary for me as attempting to connect the phone and it failing caused something that was only cleared by a reboot).
2) Enable developer options and on the phone and select USB debugging mode.
3) While you are in developer change Select USB Configuration to MTP (Media Transfer Protocol).
4) Check step 3) actually stuck. It takes a few goes for me and others for some reason.
5) Connect it to your PC
6) Hopefully it will mount as a drive called Oneplus Drivers or something similar (can't remember the exact name). In this driver is a setup up for the USB driver installation. Run it as admin and install.
7) If that all worked you should now have the mounted drive described above and your Oneplus 5 as a separate mounted MTP device in explorer which you can access the internal storage from.
For me, I can't disconnect and reconnect without rebooting windows and repeating steps 3,4 & 5 above. There is clearly either a bug in Oxygen or a driver issue that needs resolving but hopefully this will work for now. For info, with the phone connected my PC won't shut down. It does boot to the login screen but won't actually show the login prompts! Weird.
Thnks Chris. At the moment, I can't get MTP mode to "Stick". I'll keep trying. I may have also found some ADB drivers (on my laptop which is not near me at the moment).

One more issue - playing music over bluetooth, it occasionally "stutters" and I hear what appears to be a very small gap in the music - about 1/10th second - but noticeable. Has anyone seen (heard) this?

I have had this with a previous phone, not this one. What does the catlog say during the stutter? Mine showed errors regarding the Bluetooth communication, does yours do that? This can help you find out if it's software or hardware.
My capacitive buttons seem dimm as well, haven't really noticed that before..
AT,
What is the catlog? Where do I find that?

Thnks Chris. At the moment, I can't get MTP mode to "Stick". I'll keep trying. I may have also found some ADB drivers (on my laptop which is not near me at the moment).

Alan,
If you try and set MTP mode a few times it will stick. However, the text under Select USB Configuration will still say "Charging" unless you leave the Developer options menu and go back in again. Then it should say "MTP (Media Transfer Protocol)".
Chris,
You are a star. That worked and I can now see my internal storage.
Thank you
I just have to find out why my 2016 BMW will not see the music over bluetooth now (my old LG G3 worked fine)

Haven't tried to mount to PC yet. Surprising it isn't like the oneplus 3 where it mounts a separate drive on the PC with the drivers?

The only thing I can think to do is delete the phone from the car's memory entirely. Delete the connection from the phone entirely, and start all over. You may have done that, but on my 2013 Veloster I have had times where I needed to just start over completely. Having said that, no problems out of the box for me so far with the OP5 in my car, bluetooth gym headphones, or either bluetooth speaker I use. It's been very easy.
I tried that - still the same. The attached picture shows what I get.
This is my last major issue with this phone.....

Onother issue i just found out...
Maybe someone else found a fix, but i didnt....
With my OP2 i always conncted e Little USB adaptor with a micro sdcard in it to the phone to Transfer Music or any other files to or from the phone. When i connected it to the phone it imidiatly was recognized and in the filemanager one more Folder was created to manage These files.
But on my OP5 nothing happens....... can someone help?
Edit: last Oxygen Update, OTG is on, USB Debugging is on

Yeah, I think TechTablets on Youtube also mentioned USB-on-the-go not working on his OnePlus 5.

Would be sad without that feature because always connecting to my PC wouldnt be such comfortable for filetransfer....
Hope that the developer from Oneplus will fix it in future
Had an issue with the APN for T-Mobile in the US. I had data and could make VOLTE calls etc but email through TypeApp or Blue mail would not sync and various other programs had issues (connection errors), over wireless at the house everything was fine. I added the APN suggested by T-mobile haven't had an issue since. All I changed was the APN protocol to IPv6/IPv4 (was just IPv6) and removed hipri and supl from the APN type.
Everything works as it should.
hey I want to ask a question
is the camera on the op5 worse than the note 5 ?
In the advanced settings I noticed a Bluetooth codec option which might help.
I haven't tested it on the car yet. mines a 17 VW so will test it
I've tried changing the codec - no difference.
another annoiing issue....it changes network from O2/4G LTE to EPlus 3G. So i disabled automatic network and switched manual to O2 again. But the same....it really s...ks, because most time it runs with Edge only

Only issue I have at the moment is too sensitive autorotation of the screen. Even though the rotation happens very fast, I would prefer it not turning in the first place if phone is rotated only few degrees. I wish there was a way to adjust the angle when to rotate the screen.
