[Q] Connecting to PC

I have two questions concerning making a connection to a PC and hope someone can help me out here.
After much experimenting, I was finally able to connect my I9000 to my PC, without using KIES. But it was short-lived.
I read about someone removing his micro SD card, making some changes to a setting and then connecting as Storage. Well that worked for me. Once.
Now I can't connect again (Win XP) either with the card inside or without it.
If someone can tell me how to have my PC recognize my I9000 that would be great.
My second question is concerning where files are stored on the I9000.
When I made my only connection, I couldn't see which folder I should be transferring my data files to.
For example my .xls files, or my .doc files, or my .txt files etc etc.?
There are many possible places to copy them to and I'm sure they need to be in the right folder.
TIA

I installed the latest Kies and from it's menu I selected "Driver Recovery" - this installs the latest drivers for your phone.
Then from the home screen select Settings - About Phone - USB Settings - Samsung Kies. Go back to the home screen and plug in your phone - you should be good to go.
You don't have to use the Kies program - the drivers the program installs will show your built-in phone storage and your sd card storage as two seperate volumes in Windows Explorer.
You can also use Window Media Player to sync your music etc.
Note - for the connection to work you have to be using the default TouchWiz launcher on your phone - if you're using LauncherPro or ADW Launcher you'll have to switch back to the TWLauncher - you can use Home Switcher from the market to do this easily.

I'm having a ***** of a time making a connection!
I gave in and installed KIES (said 160MB). It turned out to be over 2G and took over 30 minutes to install!!!
After all that it wouldn't recognize my phone!
I re-imaged my hard drive to get rid of the damn program because un-installing it sure didn't work.
So I'm back to square one. Any other ideas where I can get the necessary drivers for Win XP SP2 ?
TIA

Thats odd - I downloaded Kies and it is only 141mb - I have it in front of me... and while I don't use it for anything it seems to provide the latest drivers. If you look at one of the stickies there is a download for just the drivers... good luck.

Thanks I'll try to find the sticky for the download.
The actual download was 145 MB, but after it finished installing, (which involved an online install) it was more than 2G (I chose the complete install).
Running uninstall got rid of most of the program but not my disk space!
I couldn't find where the files were hiding and certainly wasn't going to mess inside my registry to get rid of stuff.

I tried downloading the drivers but that didn't help.
One of a multitude of problems:
I have my phone connected to PC now (PC doesn't know about phone though)
and I'm in debug mode for USB.
I try to open the App "My Files" and get this friggin' message:
"Your phone does not have a SD card inserted" !!!!
In other words in this state, it is telling me that it can't even recognize the internal SD card!
I've gotten other confusing messages like this one when I've had my 8G external SD card inserted into phone, I launch the App "My Files" and phone tells me there is no SD card inserted!!!
Frustrating!!

A fresh test.
First I insert my 8G micro SD card into my I9000.
Then I go into App "My Files" and I can only see the files on my newly inserted 8G micro SD card. I can't see the files on my internal 8G! (But I could see them using this app just before I inserted my micro card!!!)
Yes, both the internal and the external SD mem are mounted!
Next test. I connect my I9000 to my netbook (Win XP)
and of course my I9000 still isn't recognized by my netbook (it did just once a few days ago).
Then I go into App "My Files" and guess what I get this time?
"Your phone does not have an SD card inserted" !!!
Yeah, tell me about it dear.

Yeah, I know!
Talk about bloat! What does Kies actually do that requires that size?
I think Samsung must be taking the mickey!
They probably think their customers are total idiots...

Maybe I misunderstand. Are you trying to connect to the PC in order to transfer some files to/from PC?
If so, put phone into 'Mass Storage Mode' (from 'Idle screen' > settings >About phone> USB settings> select mass storage.
Connect the usb cable, then pull down from top of screen and confirm to connect as mass storage.
Appologies if you already knew that

Thanks for trying to help. Yes I already knew that, and have done it many times.

I can't help you but I have the same issue in XP SP3
Find 2 removable storage devices (Internal, SD External) but doesn't allow me to browse through either.
It makes sense not giving you access to the internal if the file system is not supported from windows but my sd external is fat32 so it should work.
Unfortunately you can't specify to only use one storage device through external usb connection.
I'd be good to know a workaround for this. I connect my phones to my headunit and it only takes fat32

I had the same experience. I was using AWD Launcher while I was trying to connect to my PC, SGS shows changing, but PC doesn't show anything. As soon as I changed to Samsung Launcher, PC detect my SGS.

so you're telling me that I need to install drivers? it won't be automatic external storage detection just like on a windows mobile device or even the newer iphone 3g onward?

Interesting take on this ado.
At one point I was able to see 2 removable storage devices (Internal, SD External) on my desktop and netbook (both have Win XP SP2).
But, as happened to you, I couldn't get access to them when I clicked on them.
More info that might help with this puzzle:
I installed KIES (full install) and couldn't connect after selecting KIES on the phone).
I am not able to connect using Mass Storage mode either.
I was able to connect ONE time on the netbook and get into the phone folders. I believe this was after installing Samsung New PC Studio 3.
But after that, no dice.
When I first started trying to connect on the desktop and netbook I would get the typical Windows USB connection messages: unknown USB device, would you like to install drivers from this location? etc. etc.
That was good! It showed promise.
Then after a few times I stopped getting those messages from both devices. During that period, I made a partial connection on each device.
I could see two new drives (internal and external SD). But when I clicked on them it showed no space available. Braindead basically.
Something possibly related that I can't figure out at all.
When I go into 'My Files' /sdcard/ will only show SD internal IF my external SD card is not inside the phone. If my SD external card is inside the phone then it shows the SD external only, not the SD internal! Why?
Also very confusing: When I pull down the menu from the top on home screen and select Ongoing: USB connected: Select to copy files to/from computer, then it asks to Mount.
I choose Mount, go to 'My Files' and it says "Your phone does not have an SD card inside!" WTF? (It says that with or without an external SD card inside).
Also strange, when I chose Mount, it then starts to sever the USB connection with messages scrolling by at the top.
So to summarize (this is strictly from the phone's side)
when I connect via Mass Storage it seems to indicate that a USB connection is made. But when I select Mount, the USB connection is terminated!

Success, finally!
I wish I could tell you exactly what the magic bullet was, but it happened gradually. You know how you change something and it seems to help a little. So you change something else and it seems to be getting better?
Here are they key steps that I can remember:
-I went back and re-installed SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_x86.exe.
There are no messages given after the install completes, they're just drivers, not a program.
-I put the I9000 into debug mode for USB connections (not sure if I need this now).
-After connecting the phone to WinXP I went to phone's home screen, notification window and selected the USB connection and chose to Mount the drive(s).
I can now see and access both the internal SD and the external SD! WOW!

if you want Kies just to manage and organize your phone, i found a better software for that than kies
check here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765081

So a driver instal is required. Bugger. I need my external storage to show up and be defaulted to first because it would be nice if I could connect to my headunit in car to get to my mp3's.
Maybe some sort of hack could help here

@ado_civon: I'm not sure you do need to install the drivers.
My issue was that I was not getting the 'USB connected, touch to transfer files' status bar option.
I'm using Dark's ROM (based on Froyo) and don't see the Settings > About Phone > USB settings option. However, when I switched on Settings > Applications > Development > Enable USB debugging, and reconnected, I did get the status bar option.
Sadly, selecting this still did not let my computer (a Win XP machine at work, so I have no administrator rights) recognise the drive. Maybe it works for others, though. On my HTC Hero this works fine, so I'm still not sure why it won't work with the SGS

[Q] Help please - Windows detects galaxy internal sd card as an empty/unusable drive

Hi all
I rooted my phone today. I then installed clockworkmod and saved a stock backup. Following that, I successfully enabled 3 button recovery.
My problem appeared either after rooting or after clockworkmod. The problem was there prior to enabling 3 button recovery. I suspect it was clockworkmod that caused the problem.
Anyway, when I connect the phone to the computer the 16gb internal sd card & 2gb phone storage appear as removable drives in 'my computer'. However, double clicking on the drives gives the message 'no disk in the drive, please insert one'. Windows can't read the usable file space, browse or even format the drives.
However, I can browse the internal sd card fine using any android file manager.
Also, I can use adb to push/pull files.
What is going on?
I need to know quite quickly what to do. I initiated a phone repair with my carrier due to the mtp crash bug, so they are expecting it to be returned pronto. If the phone is stuffed, I'll send it back. If this can be fixed, I'll keep it since I managed to get the three button recovery working.
Also, I think there's a boot rom or something to do with clockworkmod still installed? How do I get rid of that if I'm sending the phone back. I know how to unroot.
Edit: I just found an external sd card to test. I formatted it in windows by using a sd card reader, then when I plugged it into the phone and tried it as a mass storage device windows didnt like it. Putting it back into the card reader one last time and windows recognised it. Makes no sense....
Edit2: In kies mode, kies can access it. And also it adds a 'galaxy s' to my computer where the internal sd card actually works... now I'm even more confused!

Have you tryed formatting your internal Sd or useing recovery 2e and factory resetting your phone?

I've tried formatting it and reset via settings->privacy->factory reset data.
Is 3 button recovery any different to the above type of reset? What will it roll the system back to?
(The recovery image I made in rom manager will have the same problem. I dont currently have an update.zip on my sd card due to formatting it, but I can get one on there using adb if I need to.)

Is your usb debugging on by chance? If so, turn it off ans reconnect the phone to the pc.
Mine does this when usb debugging is on and im on a stock eclair rom... Hope it helps...

That thought occurred to me too. Definately off. Ive checked it many many times now
When I first used adb, I simply pulled the plug out. I couldn't see any 'quit debug' command. There are start/kill server commands, they dont seem appropriate. Doesnt look like I should have had to do anything other than just pull the cable out.

Update:
I think that the update.zip's applied to my phone have changed some software to an earlier version that what my unit was shipped with.
When I first got the phone, I just plugged it into the pc and selected 'mass storage' on the phone. The drives then appeared (and worked) in windows.
Now, I have to click mass storage. That on its own isnt enough. But if I pull-down the tray menu at the top of the screen, there is another option to click (something along the lines of 'select this to transfer files between your phone and pc'). If I click that, it works.
There are some slight differences still:
1) I could swear that my phone originally allowed access to the 2gb phone internal memory (I never tried reading/writing to it, but I'm convinced windows displayed a 2gb drive).
2) I used to get the "xx/13.4gb free" under the drive letter in 'my computer', which I now only get in the status bar at the bottom of windows file explorer.
QUESTION
Does everybody else have to click "mass storage mode" AND pull down the task bar and click "transfer files" to get the internal sd to work as mass storage in windows?
Or do they just have to click "mass storage mode" and that's all?
Thanks

I always had to pull down the menu and manually mount the sd card when using mass storage.
Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA App

Definately wasnt the case on my phone (bought mid october, so its quite new) because I got my music on there via mass storage twice before 'hacking' it. I couldn't have done that without knowing about the extra buttons to press. It's good to know that it's just a side effect of the update.zips I've applied, and that I get to keep the phone
Cheers

Hi All,
I'm newbie to this area and I just flashing my P1000 into CM10.1 with JB 4.2.2. Everything is work fine for me and I love the PDroid Manager function very much too!
The only problem that I encountered now is the USB mass storage function. When i plug in the USB cable into desktop computer, it only shows external SD card drive but internal SD card drive shows nothing whereby lots of data were stored into internal SD card.
Does anyone help to enlightening me on how to get back to live for my internal SD card drive?
Thanks in advance!

Try to disable and re-enable the mass storage.
The error should only occur after the boot.

Hi Paolo,
Thanks for your advice. However, I tried to disable & re-enable the mass storage under storage - USB computer connection still can't solve my problem as computer keep asking to "insert a disk" when I click the internal SD card drive.
Any idea?
Thanks.

hi all,
after reset all setting to default factory setting, the internal SD card mass storage issue had been settled. Thanks for your concern and advice.

Connect to your PC?
You are not being clear.
You connect it using the USB cable.
If you meant to say the PC can't detect it, you still have to tell in what way, as storage, in Odin, etc, etc?

Hi All,
Same problem comes back again after I've done factory reset to my GT-P1000. Besides this, I discover that the radio keeps telling me no service but I still can access my mail using mobile data network (not WiFi).
Other than these, my GT-P1000 will reboot itself automatically. Please be informed that I did flashing this from original GB to this ROM directly.
Is there any advice can be taken? I don't wish keep factory resetting my GT-P1000 in order to access the internal SD again.
Another issue need to find out is how to switch the picture storage location from internal SD to external SD after camera snapped?
Please help, thanks!

[Q] [Solved] Can't see photos on the computer

Hey Guys
I was hoping that you could help me out. I took some photos with my xperia T and now I want to transfer them to my computer, but when I connect my phone, the folder in which the photos are saved isn't shown. My phone saves photos on internal storage into \storage\sdcard0\DCIM\100ANDRO\pic name , but on the computer there is only DCIM folder and nothing inside it. Even if I go into file explorer on my phone the folders and pictures are there. So I don't know what the problem is and i was hoping that you could help me solve it.
thanks in advance

Try to eject your device and reconnect again
If doesn't work, you can try change connectivity setting
Settings> Xperia> USB connectivity> USB connection mode
Change to MSC
Edit: also check if driver installed correctly

yeah the app is still there, I've changed the connectivity mode, but I still can't see them although if I, for instance zip a few photos and move them to root directory of the SDcard or phone storage I can see that zip with photos in it. I don't know

ok i've solved it. acctualy i didn't do anything i just connected it one day and it worked- i could see all folders and photos and everything. thanks for the help anyway.

[Q] SD card errors/issues. I've tried lots of things!

Hi,
I'm running Pacman 4.4.4 RC-1 on my HTC Vivid. The rom works great except I can't get my sd to work correctly. I had a problem with this on another mod as well. I have formatted it through windows (FAT32 default settings) and through the recovery mode, but to no avail. Whenever I connect my usb to the computer it has the option of MTP connection or Mass storage (UMS). If I click mtp it pops up in windows as a media device and won't let me add files it gives me an error that i can't write access. If I select Mass storage the card does not show up at all in windows. I've tried this card alone in windows and it transfers files fine and works. I'm not sure what I need to do to get it work? I need to transfer my calllogs and my messages over to it (have a backup file of these). Can anyone help me?
Thanks.

I installed TWRP recovery and it allowed me to mount my sd card. I can transfer files to it through the computer when in TWRP. However when it pops up on my computer it says that drive e (im assuming the internal) needs to be formatted should i do this? Wouldn't that erase all the apps on my phone? Even though it lets me transfer files through twrp when i try to do anything involving the sd card in android it gives me errors. I need to transfer my xml files that contain my text messages and call logs through either titanium backup or super backup but they give me errors. I also cannot install any apps to the sd card (error). Hope they helps some. I feel like I'm either missing a step here or doing something wrong.

Well, I would guess that the format would erase all the stuff on there. I had some issues myself which I solved by pretty much nuking my phone's storage completely and re-flashing a ROM. I cannot remember exactly how I did it, but these threads seem promising if you haven't already tried them:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2156302

And I would back up everything you can, and then try re-formatting it in windows while in recovery.

When I formatted the internal drive as well it worked correctly. I finally got it working! Thanks everyone I needed TWRP basically. I just found another issue though and it's with not being able to hear my visual voicemails (they work fine without visual) and I have problems with people not hearing me sometimes. Any fix for either? Sorry if I should start another thread for these I can do that.
Thanks

I can't really help with visual voicemail, as ST doesn't have one I can use. I did fond that setting up google voice as my voicemail provider allowed me to use google voice as a visual voicemail.
The not being able to hear you thing is a fairly common issue, and while I am lucky enough to not have to deal with that on my phone, I believe a temporary fix is to call someone, hang up, then any subsequent calls should be fine.
