USB Mass Storage not working - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm on 4.2.2 slimbean ROM and my USB mass storage is no longer working. When I connect my phone to my laptop using the USB cable the phone charges without a problem. But then when I try to 'Turn on USB storage' the circular loading icon just continuously spins. How do I get it working?
Thanks

[Q] Blue screen on computer when connecting TP

Hey guys,
I have 3 USB ports on my laptop. I used to love connecting my TP on this one port until it just recently broken. Then, I tried other USB ports to connect my TP but always get the blue screen on my laptop after I tried to do so. I want to install ICS on it but was unable to do so as my laptop keeps rebooting. Any ideas?
BTW, my TP is running CM7 3.0 and running the ICS ADW theme if that would ever be the problem.
Does the computer do that when you use a different USB device?
If it is only the touchpad, I would say try connecting through webOS and see if that does anything different. Also try turning off USB Debugging in Android so it doesn't try to load the driver.
Sounds like something is shorting out causing the laptop to shut off and reboot as a fail safe. Check to make sure the laptop's USB port is good by trying other devices, also try another microUSB cable. If the issue persists the microUSB connection on the TP could have issues.

Oh, nice! turning off the USB debugging made the trick. Thank you so much.

The laptop USB ports are good and I've tried using it with my pendrive. Thanks for your help though. =)

MTP initialization

This question is all over and i'm a lil lost. I just got my 7.7, stock P6800. I plug it into my mac and there's this cross on the batt on the device. I'm assuming it wont charge with the USB cable that came with it. So i went to buy another. Same problem.
I installed Kies on my mac and it can sync tho. I just can't seem to be able to mount it to my mac and transfer files like a USB drive.

have you tried turning off usb debugging?
also the tab won't charge with the usb connected to the pc cuz the charge voltage is too low.. you need to modify your build.prop to force usb charging or flash sk806(steve's) custom rom
yes i toggled USB debugging on/off. :S

[Q] usb connection

When I plug in a usb stick through the cable, I can not see or make the connection. You will need some setting or app? Even with usb debugging on. Any suggestions.
try going into the phone settings and then click on storage and press the button on the bottom right of your phone and click the words usb connection(or something similar) and if that takes you to another menu then click mass storage device

can't connect phone on PC
Hi,
I have same problem, recently I installed windows 8 and since than I can't connect my phone via USB cable.
I have installed LG PC Suite and nothing.
Please help.
So you are trying to connect a USB with an OTG cable.. so you can view the files of your USB on the phone?
I read in another thread / article that the kernel does not support that on our phone. For that we need a customer kernel which hopefully will come once we get unlocked bootloader.
That's right. This kernel does not support OTG. I tested the hdmi connection to the TV and that yes, a spectacle.

V40 USB issue

The problem just started.
What works:
1. Low speed charging
2. Access to OTG memory card
Not Working:
1. Connecting to PC. Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed) The PC has the correct LG driver.
2. Fast Charging
3. Android Auto USB mode. Phone won't negotiate with the car.
I have cleaned the USB port with electronic cleaner and sand paper. It made no difference. The port wasn't dirty to start with. I have not done factory reset since the problem looks more likely to be hardware.
Any suggestion?
Cord gone bad?

Not the cord. Already tried several. The cords work fine in fast-charge mode and Android auto with other phones.

So, has this device connected to the mentioned PC before? If so, and nothing has changed (like driver update etc), then, sorry to say, but it absolutely sounds like the usb port is an issue.
Even if out of warranty, I'd plead my case to LG. That shouldn't happen. Has it gotten wet? Is any part loose in there?
good luck
I also have a USB problem, but mine keeps asking what I want to use the USB connection for i.e. charging, power supply, file transfer, photo transfer or MIDI device. And the wireless charging doesn't work either.

I got the same problem, I tried to work around the USB port and it fixed itself. Probably got some dust in the port. Try to tug the cable a bit and reconnect. Or you can try different cable.

Flash recovery without USB-C (S10e)

It looks like USB-C port of my S10e is faulty. It charge phone, but not transfer any data. I tried 4 different cables. PC wont recognize connected phone, Odin shows empty ports, settings in device has USB settings grayed out. Even after factory reset.
So I guess there is no way to flash different recovery without working data on USB port?

Have you tried on other USB ports on the computer?

Sure.
Then I don't know. Maybe take the phone in for service? Is Developer mode on? Is USB debugging enabled? When you connect your phone and PC, it should ask you to approve the connection. If he doesn't look for it, I think he should look for it. I did it a long time ago, so I don't remember very well.

Sell it to someone who does not need data transfer via USB would be more cost effective. Repairing USB port on S10e is ridiculously expensive.
