Lately my PC refuses to detect any USB connection when I connect phone via USB cable. It charges and if I enable USB debugging I get a notification for that too but the USB utilities thing won't pop up that lets you choose the mode of connection(Mass storage etc.)
I have installed/reinstalled drivers over and over. Eventually it was working but now it won't even work once.
I need help!
Mounting from recovery does nothing either
On custom ROM (RRemix )
EDIT: Let windows update pick the drivers and now can connect as MTP device BUT still no USB utilities (Rom is cm11 based) so i don't really know what else to do :/
Storage and then menu..

Can you elaborate? I don't understand your answer
Anything I flash seems to aggravate the issue. Working fine for now after I installed kies but I am scared to flash anything else.
I dont know what the problem is/was. Can someone please help?
go to settings.. then storage. press menu and choose USB... you will get the menu to move from MTP to MS

When i connect my USB, there isnt even any option in the drop-down to mount usb. If i load in ubuntu, the icon pops up on my g1... and i will click mount, but then an error will come up in ubuntu. Is this an issue within this rom... or is there something i can do to fix this? Thanks in advance...

debugging needs to be on and check for a "mount usb" app in the application drawer
reflashed with multiple ROMs -- same issue.
This kind of all started AFTER using "auto-mount" apps. Since then i have reformatted card multiple times, apps are gone.. issue resides. Any help will be appreciated.. thanks
Also, every time I plug into usb on any PC... it pops up as "USB Device Not Recognized." All drivers are installed properly. (even reinstalled for verification)
When plug in and in Ubuntu Live... shows up as Android Phone... but errors out when i click to open for viewing.

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...
Hello,
I just installed the new MIUI.us 4.0.3-2.3.9.
Found in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1479348
Everything work perfectly fine. Except..when I plug my USB, my computer can't find it. Nothing pop-up to say do you want to enable USB transfer or something like that. The connector should not be the problem because the battery is charging.
Any ideas on what could cause the problem?
Thank you in advance.
If you have adb setup, you can see if it's recognized by using the 'devices' command. If it is detected then you just need to enable usb mass storage mode from the rom.

That's the problem I don't know where in the rom I can enable usb mass storage because normally it pop up.
Did you even read the thread? I didn't even click the link until now and saw how to enable it within 5 seconds.
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!!!
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
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!!
SHOT from my LOADED GT-N7000!!
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?
Hi, i have a problem about transfer my fotographs from phone to pc. When i plugged usb cable, the phone starts just charging. I've checked several time to usb settings, MTP is open. I tried different cable and pc's. I'm definitely sure problem caused by the phone. Do you have any idea how to fix this ? I can not use smart switch at the same time.
Try wiping the Cache Partition in Recovery Mode. Or use a different cable.

Different cable is not working, i' m going to try wipe cache partition. Someone told me that, when you plugged phone to pc, if you can not choose connecting USB section in connections >
internet sharing, your usb port might be corrupted. I' m afraid of the port is corrupted.
Any solution??

Go into settings and make sure developer options is enabled and then actually go into developer options and scroll down until you see default USB connection and choose one while the phone is plugged into the computer if it already says transfer files then change it to charge mode and then change it back to transferring files and see if that works. If that doesn't work then open the dialing pad and put *#0808# and choose MTP + ADB or switch it back and forth.
