I've had problem ejecting phone mass storage in Linux. That is when you connect the sd card of your phone to PC via mass storage, you should eject it safely before disconnecting it in the phone.
However, when I right clicked the drive and select "eject safely", it failed every time. So every time I just disconnect it on the phone then unplug the cable, and something in the phone will go wrong.

You can try running umount yourself in terminal
Code:
sudo umount <device name>
I don't have that problem on my Linux machine (Ubuntu 12.0.4). Are you sure theres no processes holding onto the device?

I'm using multiple partitions and Apps2SD. First I can't unmount my SD card to eject it because that option in "settings" is grayed.
Plus when I "Mount" the card via USB through the phone, the connection lasts < 1 minute before the phone does something (glitch?) and the computer reports that the "USB device was disconnected" or something and the phone remounts it for itself.
I'm using an ext2 and fat partitions. At first I thought that the swap partition was what kept me from ejecting so I reformatted for just the two partitions. If I go back to the 3 partition scheme, will I be able to unmount and eject the card, or mount via USB?
as for getting the computer to see the card.
Plug your phone in, don't mount sd.
Stop the device by right clicking the icon by the clock.
Unplug the phone.
Plug the phone back in and mount the sd.
should be ok.
not sure about unmounting it from the phone, I use swap, always have so I have no idea.
So there is no way to unmount the SD card?
for the first problem it sounds like when you reformatted your phone, you did it from your computer rather than the phone. (i did this once and that same problem happened). to fix you must reformat the card properly.
and the 2nd problem, it sounds like your using older an usb port. u need usb2.0 to hook the G1 into

No. I used sdparted to perform my partitioning.
I'm having multiple problems connecting my NC to my Win7 PC via USB, particularly from stock 1.2. Every time I connect, Windows attempts to install device drivers, and is successful only half the time, at most. If it successfully mounts the NC as USB storage, it may or may not also mount the SD card (again, maybe half the time).
I also boot CM7 from an SD card using verygreen's size-agnostic image. From there, the connection has been 100% reliable--turn on USB tethering, and both the system and storage partitions get mounted as USB storage.
HOWEVER, plugging in the NC from either OS frequently causes a really odd problem with my external HDD: both the drive and the uppermost layer of the file structure will still be listed in Computer, but click any of those folders and they show as empty. The HDD is also "in use" if I attempt a safe eject, but unplugging the USB and plugging it back in solves the problem.
Are other people running 64-bit Windows 7 having these problems? Any idea what could be causing my PC to get 'confused' about the HDD?
Embarrassing problem - can't seem to mount the external SD card on computer! The card worked with my previous phone (the almighty Dell Streak), and it's recognised by the Note too, can write and read to it no problem on the phone
I've enabled USB Debug, and connected the USB to computer, two empty removable drives appear in My Computer, but nothing mounts! So I'm not able to transfer anything across.
Any suggestions?
Here's how its done:
1. Disable USB debugging
2. Plug cable into your Note, don't connect to your computer yet
3. Go to Settings/Wireless and Network/USB Utilities
4. Click 'Connect storage to PC'
5. Note will tell you to plug your cable into PC
6. Click 'Connect storage to PC' (Note)
7. PC will mount both your cards
8. You're done.
Thanks, different way of doing it than when I was on the Dell. =]
The computer still loads up both drives as "empty" ones though.

Your computer probably doesn't have proper Samsung drivers. Download them from here:

Thanks, that sorted it =]
I'm glad you got there in the end.
This morning when I plug my droid4 into the computer and set the connection to USB Mass Storage only the microsd card is readable from my computer. The internal storage shows up but isn't accessible.
The files are readable from the phone when it isn't mounted to the computer, it's just the computer that can't see them. This was working fine last week.
Any thoughts?
I would check the drivers and make sure it hasnt errored out in the device manager. may need reloaded.
When I connect my 4s (EU) to my PC, it detects the SD card (128GB Kingston or 64GB, both tried exFat and FAT32 formatted), but when opening the contents, it says there's nothing on it, while it has over 40 gb of data on it...!
What's going on? The card is up to spec!?!
The phone's own memory is shown correctly and I can access all maps. The SD card however is detected, but not accessible.
The only files I can see are the ones I copy from PC to phone's sd card over USB connection. But I want to copy photos and videos from phone to PC.....
I already tried uninstalling the Alcatel Idol 4s driver, and reconnected to get this phone mounted again, and the result is the same.
Anyone have this too? Fix?
PS: I've tried FAT32 formatting as well as ExFAT, both cases the PC detects the card, even tells me how much space is available, but shows NO contents and tells me the map is EMPTY!?!?!
Do you try usb debugging? Is ur phone locked when you connect it to pc?
