Removable Disk vs Galaxy Note when connecting to PC

When conecting my Note to a Winows PC via USB, on some computers I get 2 Removable Disks (i.e. E: & F, and in which to enable these drives to be viewed, I have to go to the alert screen on my Note and select enable USB.
Other times when connecting the Note to a PC, I get a Samsung Note listed un My Computer, and in that case I can just click on it and it will allow me to view contents of Note without having to enable it via the phone.
Any idea why this is?
Thanks

do you have usb debugging enabled?

The first Option called Mass Storage (Faster file transfer)
And the second one called MTP (Media Transfer Protocol).

Aha...
When I have USB Debgging on I get the the Mass Storage (phone shows up as removable disk) and when I have USB Debugging off I get the MTP (phone shows as GT-N7000)....
Thanks to you both!

Was searching for the same..glad you have posted...thanks guys!!!

Advantage of MTP is, while trying to copy some media files it ll ask you to "convert and copy". so that Note can play that media file.

To add to it!! MTP mode is slower than usb mode and while on MTP mode u can access the card on phone and computer simultaneously!!

This is not the case for me
I have USB Debgging enabled, since I use adb for some stuff, however, usb will always be in MTP mode!
i disabled USB Debgging and tried it then enabled it again but it is always in MTP.
does anyone know why?
i am using rooted stock rom.

Bub,
Before you connect the cable open settings> wireless and network > usb utility > connect usb storage then it will ask you to connect the cable. Connect the cable and it should mount the phone as usb storage...
Hit thanks if it helped
Peave out!!

"wireless and network" OMG, i remember seeing the usb setting somewhere then i looked all over but of course not inside "wireless and network" !! why here, should be under storage or something more related...
anyway, thanks for the help

I think i have similar problem here. The only thing is that i could not connect to Samsung Kies. When I try to troubleshot it, connection error occurs.
What would I possibly do about it?

I would suggest checking the settings (developer options) make sure USB debugging is unchecked, which seems to put the device into mass storage mode

i already tried that but.... nothing

I also had the same problem......
Try all USB ports u have on your PC
One of them will surely work as it worked for me....
If it works keep that USB port reserved for tab...do not use any dial up or something like that.....
Try it .....

When I Switch USB Debug(turn on or turn off) when USB is connected, the staus bar will show USB option(PC mode,USB mass storge,charge,etc..)
But no matter what I choose,It does't work.
And when I run adb command(usb debug on) , It shows "device not found".

I had changed ports ,and USB cable
And windows xp and win 8.
But It's the same.

are you using the stock usb cable?
are you running a rom?
what recovery are you using?
if you have a custom recovery hook your phone up to your computer and boot your phone into recovery either cwm or safestrap
go to mounts and storage and try to mount sdcard and see if that works
p.s
make sure usb debugging is enabled and check mass storage in the drop down

Was there ever a solution found? My droid 3 for some reason the usb debugging isn't working, the computer sees it and I can access my files, but debugging won't enable. I turned it on and off in settings a bunch of times and tryed a few different drivers

Go to apps, push menu button, choose either camera or massstorage mode. And enable usb debugging and enable root access for apps and adb. This should solve it. If not, reinstall your cm10 with all wipes.

don't understand why you wrote "go to apps" - in my CM10 on my p970 the USB options are in storage menu :
settings->storage->[press menu]->USB computer connection
then after choosing Mass storage i can finally debug using ADB

Sorry for mixing up ROMs... and btw this is not the only question i was answering that day... anyway you found your solution and my suggestion was partially right if you hadnt been lazy before, you had found out about it on your own, cause around 10 ppl already asked about it...

Turn off your phone and battery get out...wait for while. Put battery in, turn on your phone and try to connect via USB

Boot into TWRP and connect to PC. See if you can mount MTP that way. Not a fix but could get your files transferred. Also may prove if more than a ROM issue.

I have the same issue? An it still is not coming up with TWRP? I tried the DEV M preview, it's good. But will not connect to PC as MTP?
Usb debugging off, selected mtp in dev options, reboot phone. works now?

I'm actually on stock rooted and unlocked, so idk what's up

Have you tried a different cable? Different USB port?

I tried different ports but the phone will connect adb and ptp so I assumed it was the phone. When I connect using mtp, it makes the connection sound but nothing happens.
