I was having the same problem with my Kindle Fire. It would only connect as PTP and not MTP, but those directions worked for it.

Hardware issue with either USB-cable, or the USB-ports on the phone or pc.
Did you try another cable and/or USB-port on your pc?

Thank for your answer, but my device charge very good, I tried another 2 PC (1 laptop, 1 desktop) and many USB cable, but same same. If I use connnect by sync, it is very good. I don't understand.
If it does the same on 3 pc's and with different USB cables I would say there is something wrong with the USB port on your phone, even though you have no problems charging.

Hi all,
I have fixed this problem: Start - settings - System - power - Advanced : do not tick on: Turn off backlight... and turn off device...
Hix, i'm very happy, thanks for your answered.
Used to have Xron-mod CM7 on touchpad. This weekend I installed CM9 using novacom and changed the setting to MTP (diabled debugging mode). After plug in usb cable, Windows 7 says it successfully installed cm-tenderloin and recognizes SD storage. CM9 says charging. But when I click SD card under cm-tenderloin, there's nothing. When I tried to builder a new folder, it says NO. Is it a common problem for you guys? If I cannot transfer files between windows and CM9, that will be painful. Thank you for your help. Any clue?

Go to Settings/Storage/ and at the top right click the 3 buttons/USB Computer Connection and select Media device(MTP)
Moved to Q&A
You need to unlock the device before anything will show up under cm-tenderloin.

don't know how it works on a Mac, but there is no common usb mass storage currently, i think you mean that the internal sd and external sd
where be mounted as drives ...
you only can access the storages when mounted as MTP
hope this helps
Install "Android File Transfer" ( http://www.android.com/filetransfer/ ) and mount your 4X as MTP.
Thanks!

Yea i tried that, tried every connection type but didnt work =\ But thanks for our reply
i installed Android File Transfer and its all good now.
I am currently using CyanogenMod 11.0 20140420 by Maclaw, but this has been going on since I started using the custom ROMs. Any time I try to use my phone in Mass Storage mode, my computer will not read the device, but in MTP mode, it reads the storage, but everything doesn't show up properly. Some files on the external SD card won't show up at all unless I use my microsd card reader and put it in there. Anyone else have this issue or know how to fix it?
No one? It's kind of annoying that Mass Storage mode doesn't work

Thank you, but I've tried that as well, couldn't even change the mode. I've also tried "USB mode switch for SGS1 on CM" (can't post links because I'm under 10 post) but when I switched to mass storage, my computer wouldn't recognize the phone.
i just got this micro usb flash drive
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00RBGYGPG?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00
plug it in and not recognized at all. is there something special i need to do to get this to work? it works fine on my computer.
What app are you using to mount / view it?
What file system is it formatted to?

i assumed i could just plug it in and it would be recognized by any file explorer like es file explorer
i didn't receive any instructions or anything with it not sure what is needed to do to make it work
I have the same otg drive. All I did was: Plugged it in, went to Settings, Storage and erased usb storage. Checked in Solid Explorer and everything was good to go.

yeah, i don't get it this thing must be defective and very well could be since i got it from Amazon Warehouse.
I have even tried using Stickmount which supossedly mounts these drives for Nexus devices and it will not mount. i can't see it no matter what i try. just tried reformatting as well and nothing.

i want to say it is formatted in NTFS but i will try fat32 as well? i know ive tried two different formats as well. doesn't show up anywhere. from all the yotube videos i've watched minimally it is recognized with an icon when plugged in. i've never gotten that
EDIT - ok went and made certain to format to fat32. had to download a tool to do it in windows since my drive is 64gb. still will not recognize this drive. i rebooted, nothing. damn, no idea why.

I'm not sure if ntfs will work or not, I'm almost certain it will not, but I haven't tried it. I'm only suggesting fat32 because that's what mine is. When I plug it in, an icon shows in the status bar for just a split second.
Edit: Just seen your edit. I have no idea why either. I can't imagine anything being wrong with it, since it works fine on your computer? Will twrp recognize it? (If you have twrp installed)

in TWRP i assume it is not recognizing it either, but it does list USB-OTG (0MB)
there is nothing on the disc at all so twrp must just list usb-otg by default and it won't let me select it either

Just to make sure, for it to mount in twrp, you do need to have the USB plugged in before twrp boots. Twrp does list usb-otg by default. When it's working properly it will show the amount of free space in place of the 0MB.

ok yes, i definitely had it correct then. had it plugged in before going to twrp.
essentially, i bought a return at a low price off of Amazon warehouse. i don't understand how this thing could be fine in a pc or my chromebook, but it definitely will not show up on android. it must be defective. it would help if there were a light or something on the flash drive to show when its connected though.
i just tried it in my galaxy mega and it didn't show up either.
so i'll return it and try another one. i appreciate you trying to help.

Yeah I guess it might be defective. Maybe try another fat32 formatter? (Probably won't help any) I used 2Tware to format mine. Good luck anyways though!
I don't see any mention in this thread of EXFAT. I say this because I was having problems just yesterday (coincidentally) with TWRP 2.8 not recognising my OTG USB formatted as NTFS. Although TWRP showed the NTFS USB in the backup destination list, I couldn't select it. When I formatted as EXFAT, it worked in Windows, Lollipop & TWRP.
Method - Windows 10, Tools, Format - dropdown box select EXFAT.
(I believe that Stickmount provides an extension for reading & writing NTFS USB volumes, but that doesn't help for TWRP.)
Give it a go - nothing to lose...
I found I had to install Stickmount to mount my usbotg drives. I did install the supplemental files that allow ntfs and it works fine to mount/unmount external memory including an external 750Gb hard disk. [Edit] Didn't try with TWRP.
