SD card/USB mass storage auto-mount problem? - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Seems that under Froyo, when I connect my nexus to a PC using a USB cable to charge it, the SD card gets disabled because the USB mass storage is enabled whether I actually want it turned on or not. This means I have to unlock the phone and explicitly turn off USB mass storage to continue listening to music.
Anyone else seen the problem? If so, please add your comments to this issue:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=9116
as Google has closed my previous two bug reports without any testing or thought.

After reading your post, i guess that google is removing your issue since its not the final froyo version you are using, so its either a bug in the test froyo build, or the issue has been fixed in the final froyo that hasnt ota'ed yet

i have actually seen this before in both 2.2 and 2.1
my problem with the auto mount was actually an app i downloaded.
are you using a media player called double twist, because if you are thats the source of your problem.
go to the option menu and turn off auto mount
if not i have no clue, i never had that issue with prior to that app

Yeah, I had the same problem with "double twist" and I have removed it, as I use bTunes instead.

Yep..
Just go to Double Twist settings and check off "Auto USB Drive", and you are done.

Winamp also has auto-mount enabled by default.

This auto-mounting was driving me crazy, I thought that I messed something with my ROM, and it appears that all of this was Winamp's fault. They shouldn't enable such option by default...

Many Thanks.

Thanks. I've used DoubleTwist on my Original Droid a year ago, and never had this problem. I recently downloaded it to my Droid. This must be a "new feature" they recently added. The problem was fixed in 1 minute , after searching XDA for 1 week and finding your post.

[Q] MTP Application flickering continuously

Hi,
I just got my Samsung Galaxy S a few days back and installed Kies on my Windows Vista PC (32 bit) last night. It asked for an update as soon as I started it for the first time and I did so.
When I tried connecting my phone to the PC USB, it asked for the connection mode and I chose "Samsung Kies", right after this I see the Galaxy S flickering between the MTP application connection screen and the home screen. This goes on indefinitely and I need to pull out the cable to stop this.
This is really frustrating. Is this a problem with my phone (USB port damaged) or some other problem? If anyone else here is facing this and has resolved it please let me know how.
TIA
Put your phone in mass storage mode, connect it to your PC so that you can browse the internal storage and delete any files that have extensions longer than 16 characters. This is the reason why MTP is crashing over and over. If you do a search for it, its a common problem. I think there is even an app that someone wrote to scan your internal SD and automatically remove these files.
Know the name of the app?
Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA App
Here is the app.
Had the same problem a while back and this fixed it
Thanks for all the help.
Remvoed Dolphin HD (the one that had 16+ chars extensions) and was able to connect with Kies.
Ive had this problem when trying to install KIES last night, going to give this a go as i want to upgrade to some FroYo goodness!

[Q] "Device not recognized" "Drivers were not installed successfully"

[Q] "Device not recognized" "Drivers were not installed successfully"
Well, crap. I don't know what else to try here.
I plug in my phone to update to 2.2 and in all 4 of my USB ports I get a "usb device not recognized" error. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling the root hubs, nothing. I want to try to uninstall the drivers specifically for the phone, but can't find them (running windows 7 32 bit)
What the heck man?
So far ive done:
Uninstalled the samsung captivate drivers.
Uninstalled the USB root hubs.
Uninstalled Kies Mini.
Reinstalled captivate drivers.
Reinstalled USB Root Hubs.
Reinstalled Kies Mini.
Turned on debugging before plugging it in.
Turned off debugging before plugging it in.
Changed to mass storage mode.
Changed to Media Played mode.
Changed to Kies mode.
FACTORY RESET THE PHONE.
I think that about covers it. The next step I will try is to get a new usb to micro usb cord. Then, if not that, i am going to a friends house.
I shouldn't have to go through all of this crap. Especially when it was recognized about a week ago. nothing has been changed, deleted or updated since then either.
Quite frustrating.
Anyone have any ideas? I am close to just re-installing windows and then trying...ugh i just want my update! Been waiting months and months and now I can't even get it -___-
I received an error message about an idle screen, could NOT figure it out. Finally it worked after uninstalling launcher pro! Are you using a custom launcher? Try uninstalling!

No. I apologize I should have mentioned that.
It is not rooted and there is no custom software. Everything I've got, I've downloaded from the android marketplace.

So you're saying a new phone fixed it? Well I hope that's not my only option because I don't want to go through all of that.
:/
tried getting it to work for two days and i gave up. my carrier didnt give me any trouble and sent me a replacement..hope its not ur case. tell me what you tried so far?
This sucks man. Stil nothing....I am not going to replace my handset because I bought mine online! It's worked before....so what changed???
I'm giving this one last shot.
Anyone have any ideas other than replacing my entire handset??
Make sure your using the factory cable that came with your phone and unmount your external sd card.

Yep, I am definitely using the factory cable, and I don't even have an external SD card in there right now (I tried it with and without one in and still nothing)
UPDATE:
I went to a friends house and tried to plug it in on his netbook...same exact issues, then his desktop computer...same exact issues.
So does this mean i am royally screwed and the only way I can ever connect my phone to a computer again is to get a new one? I can't even transfer files to and from the phone, so all of the music that I put on there before is completely useless now
EDIT!!!
I just totally realized something...I used to be able to use it via usb to transfer music, files, etc until I plugged it into my USB port on my kenwood car stereo's usb deck. It had given me error 19, which apparently is a connectivity error. Could these be related? Could it be possible that somehow plugging it into my stereo boned the usb functionality?
So I am not sure what the heck I did right, but it suddenly started working, and I am about 90% done with the 2.2 update.
I DID however unmount the internal SD card, then I re-mounted it and I guess that worked? Somehow there must have been a random glitch with the internal.
Anyways, if anyone else has this issue, try that!
Its a glitch in the media scanner program. Unmount your external (you can't unmount the internal), pull the card out, re install. We found this when doing the rodgers update, lot of people had this problem.

I had some issues with the drivers originally. I downloaded the wrong ones from the Samsung site. Take a look for the drivers in myriad XDA threads and see if those work, after uninstalling the ones you have loaded.

[Q] Does leaked update fix apps dissapearing from "Media"?

So after moving apps to the media area, the internal storage on my phone, most of the apps dissapeared. Other websites have talked about this, but I see nothing on XDA. Is this fixed by the leaked OTA?
Sent from my DROID3 using Tapatalk
Its the way the OS works...you dismount a drive and anything on that drive will no longer be available (disappear). This occurs when you plug into the PC and the phone unmounts storage so the PC can mount it. Force close your launcher or if possible, restart it (launcher pro gives this option) once the storage is unmounted from the PC and remounted to the phone.

Actually...I'm having the same problem. Even when the media area isn't mounted on the PC (I make sure it's mounted in Android). Doesn't bother me too much, because my apps don't take up much space. The strange part is that not all of the apps in the media area are disappearing, only some.

Same. Things will dissapear even though I never plug it into the computer. Other forums have said this is a common problem, I'll post a link when I'm experienced enough to
Has anyone installed the update, and can give a status report on this issue?
Sent from my DROID3 using Tapatalk
Haven't experienced this as an issue on any droid phone, but it's probably common because alot of ppl are plugging in their phones to their computers and thus losing access to apps on SD.
As with what tcrews advised, it's the way the Os works - If this persists simply restart your phone/launcher, could be a faulty SD card swapping out the card would help.
We have so much space to use on the apps partition as it is tho so i'd recommend moving any apps that install to sd/media back to the phone to reduce issues.

I appreciate the advice, but I'm afraid no one is getting at the real issue. Since the OP, I moved a dozen apps over to test and half have dissappeared. No computer, no mounting or remounting, just one restart.
Please, this post is about the update. From other forums I believe this is droid 3 specific, and I would like to know if this was fixed. I have a lot of apps.
Sent from my DROID3 using Tapatalk
After some research, I see the issue everyone else is getting at. My problem is not the launcher shortcuts or the app drawer. In settings > applications > manage applications, the app disappears, and all that is left is the namespace, which I assume is just a link to the data on the internal storage. But I need to redownload the app before it works.
Has anyone who flashed the update experienced this, not experienced?

Nexus 6 - Large apps killing NFC...?

Hi all,
I have a strange issue with my Nexus 6. For background I am using 64GB model, sim unlocked, stock, not rooted, not OEM unlocked, v5.0.1.
I recently purchased the Nexus 6, restored my account and apps to it. So far so good. Next time I started up the phone, I noticed NFC had stopped working. Checking the Settings menu it had completely disappeared along with "Tap and Pay". I know they were there before but they had gone. I went back to the retailers who happily swapped it for another.
Nexus 6 #2 - EXACTLY the same thing happened. I could then only presume an app was somehow causing it. After uninstalling/installing loads of apps I finally figured it out - any "large" app being installed seems to kill NFC on reboot. I don't know exactly how "large" it needs to be but the offending apps are all over 1GB. Any one (I have three such apps) of those installed and NFC goes. Uninstall it, reboot and it's available again.
I can replicate it everytime and on two different devices. Can anyone else confirm/deny/test the above and advise? If it was a bug I would have thought there would be other reports but then >1GB apps are fairly unusual. I can also confirm it DOESN'T happen on my (unrooted, stock) Nexus 5 running v5.0.1.
Any thoughts or ideas greatlly appreciated
TIA!
Am I really he only person suffering from this on two different phones?

I have the CW 64 and i have a lot of games installed.
Some close to 4GB and my NFC works great, I pay with google wallet a lot.
My google play music is 15GB with the downloaded music from all access.
My guess is that one of your apps (possibly pre lollipop with no update ) are causing this.

Top man, you solved it! I was working on the assumption that a user installed app couldn't interfere with a system service like this!
I used an Application Permission app to see which of my apps had access to NFC, and there were a couple of old ones that I don't even use any more. Uninstalled them, restarted the phone and all working perfectly now

Which apps specifically??
---------- Post added at 01:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:11 AM ----------
I've only gone and fixed it!
IO don't know how or why, or which of these steps are unnecessary, but I will post EVERY step that I took, and the reason behind taking these steps was for the purpose of fixing secure fast unlock which seemed to be broken based on location, and I was attempting to fix it via bluetooth secure unlock, in the hope that fixing it via bluetooth would fix it via location too, and at the same time i was trying to figure out what was wrong with the NFC...
Settings, accessibility, turn all off (i had previously had pushbullet on, turn off_
install F secure app permissions, filter NFC, open every app that has NFC permissions
settings, security, smart lock, input pattern, trusted devices, add a newly paired bluetooth device (i used my laptop).
lock phone, unlock phone, to ensure that smart lock is working.
switch bluetooth off, lock, unlock to ensure that trusted location smart lock is working
settings, "more", turn aeroplane mode on. turn aeroplane mode off.
phone switched off, switched back on, askwd for pattern unlock before boot, upon boot NFC and android beam settings are restored in the "more" settings menu.
Please try it and confirm whether or not this is a valid fix

MHL woes - how to fix?

So I had MHL working perfectly for nearly a year. Im on Android 5.1.1
Suddenly I plugged it in as usual and nothing happened. I thought it was the MHL cable so bought another. Same thing.
I started having a look around and in Smart Connect > TV > MHL I noticed under 'launch app' it said 'MISSING: com.sonyericsson.tvlauncher'
I searched and searched and searched online but could not find where to download this app. Only thing I found was http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z1/themes-apps/sony-tv-launcher-time-tv-t2871060 and well...I just installed the apk's from that link. It still didnt work, but now under launch app it said MISSING: something else. To be honest I can't remember exactly what, but it was longer than the previous.
At this point I was getting pretty pissed off so didnt try anything again until I just went online to Sony Support and they advised to go to Apps > All > Smart Connect and press Clear Data.
I just did that and now.....under Smart Connect there is no more TV shown, nothing happens when I plug in the MHL. TV Launcher seems to be installed correctly now...but yea still nothing happens.
Next step I was advised was to connect to my computer and run 'Repair Experia device' which I will do as soon as my phone is 80% charged.
Anyone have an idea about whats happened, and what to do to fix??
Only thing I can think is every few days Im having to move stuff over from phone memory to sd card, and always select everything to move...pics..vids...apps...maybe it moved the tvlauncher app or something? Although last week it did say there was an error and it was unable to move 1 app...I didnt think much of it...
Thanks!

It's this and maybe only got renamed?
Try to edit the package and app name to replace the link or make it work again
