[Q] Won't mount drive without debugging on - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Since I rooted, using unleash the beast and now have one click lag fix, when I connect my usb cable to my phone I can click on usb mount but nothing happens unless I unplug.....turn on debugging and reconnect. Now Win 7 makes an audible sound when I plug in....I click on mount and both my internal and external sd card show up......what's up with that? Thanks in advance.

Try changing the usb mode to kies(sp?) Then plug it in and it soul ask if you want to mount it

Small issue: USB storage by default on USB plug while USB debugging is on.

Hi guys,
I just got one problem which I didn't have in the past, during my last 50 flashes
When I have USB debugging on and I plug in the USB it activates the USB storage by default.
I checked if by any chance in the USB settings Mass Storage is not ticked and it wasn't. I know it has no connection with USB debugging but it worth a try.
Is there a way to fix this?
Im running JPM + OCLF (it was doing the same before lagfix)
Before, I am 100% sure it didn't happen. Still cant understand what caused this behavior.
Thanks a lot!
no one??
Hm.. I knew it was special.

Nope, it's doing it to me also.
Immensely annoying because I'm using an old HTC charger with a mini->micro USB adapter, and whenever I plug it in the phone thinks I've connected a USB cable and enters USB debugging mode. This bug then kills whatever music I'm listening to at the time by mounting the SD cards as USB drives, which I can only restart by disabling USB Mass Storage, waiting for the media scanner to finish and then re-opening the media player!
Anyone else seen or found a way around this?

[Q] Cant connect to Computer

All was well, I could connect to my computer and go back and forth between ROMs but when I updated to Froyo, They phone could not connect to the computer, it will charge but wont copy files from sd card. USB debugging is on and I dont need the drivers because I am on mac, and it worked before, I cant even go back to stock, because the pc either, cannot find the phone. I have no warrenty because I bought it from Ebay, Help?
Assuming that you have the USB settings set to "Mass Storage":
After you connect it to the computer, you need to pull down the notification bar and select "Select to copy files to/from your computer", then follow the directions from there.
I know that!! Lol i do it all the time. It jusy doesnt work

are you using the same usb cable? some cheap cables are for charging only (like my bluetooth headset cable)
I tried my backflip cable

Which USB port are you connected to? Mine was flaky using the front USB ports on my computer. I moved my cable to the back of the computer and connected to a port directly off the MB. Since then, I haven't had a single problem. Just something to consider.

USB OTG on stock rom issue.

Bought 2 USB OTG cable a few days ago but I've been unable to get it work. The moment I plug it into my HTC One, a "Unable to charge device. Please use the supported charger" error. 2 different USB OTG cables, same error. Bought at different times after I couldnt get the first cable to work.
I'm having the exact same issue... I have 2 cables which both work with my Nexus 7 without any problems what's so ever. Does anyone know if there is an "official" cable from HTC or is there some kind cable standard which has to be adhered to, so it works?
I just got a cheap usb otg cable from eBay, works fine for me. What size drives are you trying to mount?

The Stock Kernel doesnt support NTFS or ExFat... u have to format to FAT32 to get otg to work...
Maybe there will be a kernel with ntfs or exfat support someday...

There can be problem with your pen drive. Cause i had lived the same problem. My sd card works in pc but not in phone. I tried using my mouse or another disc with OTG cable and they worked.
The stock HTC kernel has a whitelist that module blocks OTG access when a certain limit is reached like required voltage by the accessory in order to work. Custom kernel now has this disabled so you might want to check that if you want. But if you prefer stock kernel I suggest you guys look for low powered USB drives instead. Cable alone won't have any issues at all with compatibility.
The main issues are the filesystem type & the electrical current required by the USB drive or any device you want to use for OTG.
The charger notification is a bug and might get fixed soon by HTC but it won't have any effects on OTG itself. It's just the kernel mistakenly identify the OTG device as a charging mechanism.
one from amazon, and 2 from ebay, worked great on my HTC ONE S... and samsung galaxy s3, on my HTC ONE, the freeze up, lock up, i dont even try it anymore.
yeh, i also get the charging thing error...
i believe the one i bought also said for google nexus... i use 32gb...
How does that 4gb stick work is that like a usb flash drive you can use with the One?

I also get this message with my usb otg cable when connecting external usb dac , but the device works ok.
I have found usb host diagnostic app to be useful, it is free from play store

Ok, so what about charging phone while connecting something by otg? Is it works on non-stock kernels?

Without any usb thumbdrives attached to the otg cable, the moment I connect the otg to my One, the error pops up. Later connecting the thumb drive to the cable does nothing. Es file explorer does not detect nor does mount usb drive light up (remains greyed out).
Tried connecting the usb drive first and then connecting both to my phone and does detect either. So yeah, I guess might have to buy another usb drive ?
i had the same problem, but....
I was very dissapointed because my htc one could not find the otg usb! I started deleting almost all downloaded software from my device and cleared cash! Then restarted my phone and... Voila! It works! To be honest, i didn't find out the problem, but it works!

Usb host mode

Have done a search,but can't seem to really find an answer...
Anyone have any idea how to get my old M7 out of usb host mode?
Tried all the known tricks to no avail...
Edit:M7 can sense an OTG cable & usb thumb drive(16gb Sandisk),mounts properly and can see photos on it.Unmounts fine.
M7 also seems to mount(kind of),to my laptop,but it mounts and unmounts nonstop,tried a few difderent cables but still the same issue.All i did was update the Car app,and disable it.
Phone still needs to be tyrned off for charging,and it mounts and unmounts from the charger nonstop

Sometimes its caused by a defective usb port on the phone. The ID pin is shorted causing the usb host mode always active. The usb port can be replaced, its on a small board with the front mic, connected to the main board with a flex cable.
