Problem with 'Charge Only' when connecting to pc - Desire General

Hi,
over the last couple of days when I connect to pc and get the usual pop up asking what sort of connection I want and I select 'Charge Only', it doesn't seem to only charge as I cannot play my music as it says the sd card is not accessible!
Anyone else had this problem? Maybe it's a particular app, or maybe it's the latest update?
Cheers for any ideas/comments.

Try pressing Menu > Settings > Connect To PC, and check that the Ask Me option is selected.
Also check that you have USB Debugging enabled in Settings.

Thanks for the quick response, but unfortunately neither helped
Do you have the recent update to your phone?

I have found the problem, it is the music app Doubletwist! I guess it is trying too hard to be fully synced up!
Word of advice - don't install doubletwist.

Thanks for the info. Was having the same problem and had installed doubletwist recently. Anyway, I found that this "feature" can be turned off. Its a setting called "Auto USB drive" and is the only setting in doubletwist.

A: Is your SD Card Auto-mounting when USB connected, with no idea why?

OK Since it took me several weeks to find the cause of this little bugger I figured I'd post here in case others have similar issues now or in the future:
Problem:
Your SD Card goes into "Disk Drive" mode automatically whenever you plug the device into your USB. Even if you choose "Charge Only" mode! and do not select Disk Drive.
The most likely cause and solution:
It seems the newest version of WinAMP has a setting which auto-mounts the SD Card upon USB connection, and it's default setting is ON!
The solution is to check and see if you have WinAMP (I prefer PowerAMP myself after comparing the two), and if so check the Setting in WinAmp's setting option (It's at the top).
NOTE: I've also heard that Double-Twist also has a similar setting turned on by default, but I cannot confirm that myself.
I've asked WinAMP to turn off this setting by default or to at least warn the user that this setting exists upon installation. I urge you to do the same if you have this issue.
Thank you for this
Doubletwist does this too

[Q] No more selection possible after plugging in the USB cable

Do not know where i can change the behaviour when USB is plugged in. There is just "activate/deactivate usb memory. Unfortunately i need "just charging".
I am using CM6.1.3 Stable Release /Build FRG83D/2.6.32.27er Kernel/Android2.2.1/Baseband 12.28b.60.140eP_26.03.02.26_M
Does anybody know something? Hopefully...

O.k. Did not know. Last time when i saw the selection i had stock/sense installed. Reading your words the problem was solved. I allways thought that i checked some standard and can not find it know. Under stock/sense there was some "only charging" mode. But now i know.
Thanks a lot

no worries matey

Quiet Ring volume/Malfunctioning USB utilities

So when i get an incoming call, my phone rings silently then jumps to the volume i set it at without touching the phone at all or anything as if there was a quiet ring option that i believe was on the E3D for anyone familiar with the E3D. anyway, i've scavenged the sys settings and i havent found anything and it bugs me to hell.
Second issue: although my usb connection works perfectly (it detects and transfers fine) when i scroll to settings > wifi connections > usb utilities and hit the button, it says "remove usb cord" while theres one connected and when i take it out it says "connect a usb cord". while i was running AEMod with the standard USB mass storage mounting (hit the green android and it turns orange when connected), it worked flawlessly. I prefer the old USB mounting > MTP.
I guess I am being a bit nit picky, but i havent heard of anyone having this issue. Any ideas? I'm thinking they could both be software issues that can be fixed by flashing a rom, but i could always exchange for another one...
The phone is setup to automatically escalate ring. I don't know why sammy did it that way but they did. I have no idea what your talking about with respect to the USB issue.

oh, that sucks...
okay so you know how in settings > wireless and network you have USB utilities? Whenever i try to start USB mass storage it will ask me to connect a cord (obviously) when i hit "connect storage to PC", so i connect the cord and hit the button again. This time it tells me "USB is connected. Remove the cable". so it never progresses.
thanks for replying btw

[Q] WMDC connection to Win 7 x64

I have a HTC Touch Pro 2 (US Cellular) and trying to connect via USB to Windows 7 Ultimate x64 OS. I have several times to install, uninstall, re-install and still no go. I found a few posting searching Google and nothing specific has help.
When plugging in cable, the phone is recharging. Unable to recognize or show up in Device Manager. I have successfully connect phone to PC by using Bluetooth but not able too at all with the USB cable. Tried several other cables and still same issues of not connecting.
I am sure it has something to do with drivers. however can't find any specific driver for the OS and Phone.
I have tried other combinations such as other USB ports, unchecking the box "Enable faster data synchronization" Reinstalling WMDC 6.1, uninstalling, rebooting, hard-reset, soft reset, etc.
So I am at the point of just throwing the phone across the room. I seem to recall about having problem another time and same issues, but was able to find solution. Unfortunately, not able to now. Please HELP!!
Please email me at <removed>
First, I edited your email out. That will surely get picked up by spambots, and you'll have a LOT of spam in your inbox.
Second, when you plug it in, you should see a popup on the phone in WinMo. Should give you a few choices, depending on ROM - choose "ActiveSync". If you don't get these choices, simply unplug-replug.
If you set it to "always" do something - like USB mass storage mode or something, you might have to modify the registry. I haven't used WinMo in so long, I don't even remember how to get it back to that menu which gives you the choices... I never check that box anyways, I always want to choose.
Thanks
Thanks for the email protection.
I receive nothing when plugging in the phone via USB No popup on phone nor PC

It's on the phone.
Did you unplug/replug? If it doesn't pop up for me at first, I do this and it ALWAYS pops up...
UNLESS of course you've told it to "always" do something like USB mass storage - this is the piece I cannot remember how to setup...
What ROM are you on?

Go to the Settings Tab in HTC Sense and click on the right softkey and select All Settings. Then select Communications and select USB to PC and check the box that says ask me what I want to do when I connect.

Is "Autoplay" working for you in Windows 7?

As title says, when you plug in your Galaxy Nexus into your Windows 7 PC, do you get the autoplay window? Whatever I do, I cannot simply get it to show. The reason I want this is for the new Dropbox beta where you can receive more storage by simply testing their camera upload feature.
What I have done so far:
- Uninstalled and reinstalled the Samsung official drivers
- Uninstalled Samsung Kies
- Set ALL the options in AutoPlay configuration (control panel) to "Ask me every time"
- Rebooted the computer between all of the steps above
- Turned off USB Debuggig or switched to PTP instead of MTP
I am using the "Samsung Android ADB driver".
So. Does it work for you guys? If it does, please post what driver you are using and if you can come up with any troubleshooting hints for me. Google could not help me this time. Thanks in advance
I get autoplay just fine, unless I turned it off.

It's definitely turned on. What driver are you using?
News: I tested it on my GFs laptop and autoplay is working there... Maybe I should uninstall the Samsung driver altogether. I'll give it a shot.
Uninstalling the Samsung Driver did not help.
When your phone is plugged in, do you get a menu entry for "Autoplay" if you right click the "Galaxy Nexus" device under "Computer"? I dont...

Thats only valid for drives or devices assigned drive letters.
Go under your autoplay settings and check them.
I get it, win7 64 bit.
I got my drivers via a pdanet install, haven't tried any others.
Plugged my GNex into parent's laptop (Win7 64bit) to give them some pictures, autoplay popped up and pics transferred just fine.
I am having problems with the autorun feature in W7 finding photos on my Galaxy Nexus also.
When I look in AutoPlay options page I see multiple selections for our camera, my old droid, my Gnex and my old Blackberry.
I am thinking these drivers are causing problems. How do you clear out these old drivers?
on Win7: Start>Default Programs>Change AutoPlay Settings. check if your GN is there and you can change the autoplay option.
