Hi i've got CM7 installed and android v 2.3.5
I try to plug it in to USB on ubuntu 10.10
It is not detected so i can't mount it .
Also i don't have the option to change usb settings on my device because this option doesn't exist. Putting on usb debugging mode doesn't help also.
Thanks.

can we use it as usb mass storage?

Was wondering is there a way to use our galaxy as a universal usb mass storage device, using default windows drivers?
I've tried it but I can't seem to connect my phone to the pc unless I install either the usb drivers (extracted from Kies) or install kies itself.
In ubuntu can just hook this up no problem why in windows doesn't it work? or am I doing something wrong? Any help would be great.
thanks.
Wich part of Android Development Forum you dont understand?
why don't you can suggest me one or point me in the right direction or notify a mod instead of posting something that's not helpful and insulting?
and indicate why this would not go in development? yeah it can be in general but why can't it be in here explain the reason. This can be the initiation of someone developing a hack to allow to use our device in windows without INSTALLING the samsung drivers?
You don't need to install any samsung anything.
Settings -> About Phone -> USB Settings: Ensure "Ask on connection" is selected.
Plug in USB cable, connect to PC.
Select "Mass storage" on the menu. Your device is now connected and charging, but you don't have access to the data yet.
Now drag down the notification bar from the top of the screen. It says "Ongoing: USB connected. Select to copy files to/from your computer". Press that. Press "Mount".
Your Internal SD and external SD now mount on your PC and appear as drives.

Edit: If that doesn't work for you then there's something wrong. I haven't installed Kies on any machine I've connected the SGS to. It may be that you require Admin rights to install the usb drivers that are sent over as the device attempts to mount (not sure).
hmm that's weird. My machine says it doesn't recognize it when I do that. And all the machines I use I have to install the drivers for it to work even though I always use "use as mass storage"
hmmm I better do more investigation then.....
just tried this on a winxp machine without any driver/kies installed and yeah can't get to the sd card. It has an exclaimation mark next to the Usb mass storage device in device manager and there an "unknown" device detected in the "other devices" section of device manager....
Try the always ask option. Sometimes the use mass storage as default choice is a tad cranky.
If not, try on another usb port with another microusb cable. I've tried on 3 pcs/laptops and all 3 times no drivers were needed.
You also have to pull down the notifcation menu of the phone (once connected) and click the usb symbol and then choose "mount" (yeah, kinda sucks)

the drive that it installs when you connect your device to your PC with selecting USB Mass Storage is a normal USB driver, like when you plug in a normal memory stick...
Check your usb port or cable and try other ones
Or install Kies then uninstall it.
It will leave the Samsung USB drivers installed as they are in a seperate folder.
really weird could it be a winxp problem?
At work usb mass storage doesn't work UNTIL I install the samsung drivers. At home tested on a win 7 machine without installing any drivers and it works.
Would front usb port be different to teh back usb port? It's just that front usb port doesn't work if I don't install drivers, after install drivers works fine.
hmm I should test the back usb port. It's pissing me off how I can't use usb mass storage at work until I install the drivers (or would it be a windows update issue how windows don't have latest usb drivers?)

both win7 and xp require to install that usb driver unless you've plugged it in before... you definitely don't have to install the samsung drivers before you use the Mass storage function as my office computer (XP) is not allowed to install any other driver/software apart from normal USB mass storage driver in which it's pre-installed in your PC when you install the OS...

USB Connecting Problem - Android 2.2.1

I installed xdandroid 2.2.1 and everything works fine (except camera i saw that this is fixed with karnel update but I don't know how to do that) and i can't connect usb to PC.
I try install driver with Android SDK but it can't install CDC Abstract Control Model and CDC ACM Data drivers. On notification bar say that USB is connected and USB debugging is connected .Also I install HTC Sync it install all drivers except CDC Abstract Control Model and CDC ACM Data.
I also done this :
adb and usb debugging
To ensure that you are able to use adb and usb debugging you will need to plug in your usb cable to your computer and in winmo select activesync. Now launch haret and once Android is loaded you'll see a notification that will notify you have usb-debugging control and able to use adb.

please dont use any USB hubs...connect it to the USB port on the motherboard side....normally on the rear side for the Desk tops.....on the laptop all ports are directly connected normally...
secondly, what is your config? ROM?Kernel?please state your current configuration which can allow others to understand the situation.
Thanks
yeah i dont use usb hub i connect it directly i tried it on my laptop but its not working
my o2x dont say that usb debugging is connected it only charge
im on stock GB now 2.3.4 v20g
Don't want to hijack this thread, just got the same problem. (Not a complete noob here, rooted lots of different devices)
Bought a used 2x today. Froyo 2.2.2 german stock on it.
It just doesn't show the prompt that USB is connected
Tried:
- LG Mobile Driver from version 2.x.x up to 3.7.2
- on Win7 32 bit, Win7 64bit, Win XP 32 bit on various USB ports
- LG PC Suite obviously doesn't connect too
- checked/unchecked USB debugging, USB mass storage and all the obvious settings
- tried different cables
Would be really great if someone experienced could point us in the right direction.
EDIT:
After lots and lots of google I found out about a menu when dialing: 1809#*990#
With these options available:
CP Image Download
FET Disable
FET Enable
AP UART
CP UART
AP USB
CP USB
CP UART gave me at least a life sign once by saying that Windows wasn't able to recognize the device.
Is this issue really unsolvable?
Sorry for the bump, but I got some update.
when dialing the above mentioned 1809#*990# in the Port menu, switching from default AP USB to AP/CP UART gave me life signs.
After switching to AP UART I linked the Unknown device driver to lgusbdiag.inf located in C:/ProgramFiles(x86)/LG United Mobile Driver.
Suddenly it started installing it and is now recognized as: LGE Platform Android USB Device.
Once disconnected I lose USB again, I'm able to recreate the first steps though even in default AP USB mode by now.
The only thing I need USB for is for flashing a custom recovery but the only thing I don't have is ADB somehow : / Clockwork telling me: device not found.
Any help on this one?
any idea guys about my problem?
Have you tried my method?
After manually installing drivers with CP UART on, switching back to default permanently enabled access with default AP USB settings as well.
i tried that but it only charge
theres a weird thing in my cp when i switch to cp uart my o2x says it charging even i dont connect it to my pc or charge it
Ap uart - p990 / p999
I have LG P999. rooted and cyanogen.
None of the special DTMF dialing # codes is not working (also code changed from 990 to 999) (i sow some other in another posts)
is anybody know a way to change to AP UART by software (with eclipse...)
or with a special cable?
i need to use AP UART - meaning to have a serial com in AP(app).
Thanks,
Tamir
guys,
Have you tried to install MyPhone Explorer and try the same....it can connect your device via wifi,USB or Bluetooth....so some way should work....
any Android version above Froyo(included) should work....I use this always...one of very useful and bug free apps.
Try it

I have uncheck usb debuging and check it again but not working.
My Pixel are on last Android 12 and root with magisk. it is possible that a mode can create a problem with the OTG ?
I have test on Safe mod doesn't work too
I have connect an usb type c usb key it recognize.

I don't understand why ?
Thanks
Hi ! I post again because when I connect usb key mtp works and if I connect to my mac and go to settings usb parameters and choose transfert files/Android auto that work but never had notification pop-up for choose it
USB is a master/slave protocol. When you plug in an otg cable, your phone's USB controller switches into host mode. Your computer's USB is always in host mode. So your effectively trying to get two master devices to communicate which USB does not support.
