I've had my Desire for a while now but there are 2 things i'd like to ask u guys:
1. My ringtone is different when my phone is plugged into my pc, how can i change this? I've looked around but can't find the option!!!
2. I've become quite fond of a game called Tower Raiders but i've noticed that the phone gets quite hot while playing (in hand or on a table). Should i stop every now and again? Has the phone gota a sensor that turns it off if it gets too hot like a laptop??
Thanks in advance guys, this forum is a godsend!!!
Your ringtone is different probably because your PC is using the SD memory card as storage device and your audio track is stored on the SD.
If you change the setting in "connect to PC" to "charge only" from "disk drive", your ringtone will be the same (but of course you won't be able to transfer files).
About the heating, I think it's normal that the device gets very hot when used intensively, that shouln't be a problem.

I tried on incredible forum and got someone asking if I've tried the obvious. PPCgeeks hasn't had any replies yet, and google searches only return me to my own threads! So....I'm trying my luck with you guys.
I've got an incredible, and was running the stock 2.1, rooted, and I had the phone set to automount the storage as a disk drive whenever connected to USB. Due to a bug in 2.1, whenever you set it up to mount automatically like this, ONLY the SD card was seen as a drive, and the phone storage portion was not available. You could make them both available, but not automatically.
This was PERFECT for me, because I have a car stereo that accepts USB disk drives, and all my music was on the SD card. The one limitation of the stereo is that it only reads the first available partition. Nothing I can do to change it. So, with that setup, it mounted only the SD, the stereo saw only the SD, and I was in music heaven.
So I got virtuous 3.01 loaded on there, and I love froyo.....except....they fixed the mounting bug, and now the phone properly presents BOTH the SD card and "phone storage" when it's plugged into USB. And of course, phone storage is the first presented partition. End result is my car stereo now CANNOT see ANY music stored on the phone. Worse yet, since it takes the phone some time to do this, the stereo doesn't always recognize that a usb drive is even plugged in, where the timing was absolutely perfect before and it picked it up every time.
This seems like it should be extremely simple, like there should be some setting in the phone to mount only one single partition when plugged into a usb port. But for some reason, after days of searching, I can't find this anywhere - everyone always has the opposite problem and wants to make it mount everything.
Can someone please point me in the direction of a setting (most preferable - since I know it worked under 2.1, I know the phone must be capable of this at the OS layer), an app, or SOMETHING, that just straight up automounts ONLY the SD card when plugged into USB?
Under 2.1, with the "bug", it worked FLAWLESSLY. Every time I got into the car, plugged it in, and bang, music. I don't wanna give up froyo because of this, but it's pretty frustrating. I hope maybe someone can show me what I've missed!
Hi all,
I just got my Defy, and trying to plug the usb with my imac, however every time I plugged in, Mac said cant detect my device.
It also crashed my LauncherPro menu too .... I need to reboot to fix that..
any ideas about that ? Thank you
Have you tried w/o Launcher Pro?
I think I might be about to make my very first *useful* contribution here on XDA.
I too had the same problem connecting the Defy to my Macbook Pro. The dialogue box said something like "Disk Insertion - The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer" Whaaat? Not even as a removable device?
I remembered with the Samsung Galaxy that in the settings there were a certain number of 'modes' you could set the phone into before connecting to a computer. So I went about my investigation with the Defy.
I have only JUST found this out myself:
Plug the device into your computer ignore the dialogue box that appears.
On the phone navigate to the top status bar, on the opposite side of the battery and time icons there should be a USB icon. If so, touch the bar and swipe down.
Here under 'Ongoing' should be USB connection. Select to manage & there you have some options. Memory card access is what I believe you want.
After your selection the external memory card should appear instantly on your desktop as a removable device. Also I have found the Defy remembers this selection for next time, so when you plug the USB in again, you shouldn't have to mess about with any settings.
Hope this was what you were looking for and I hope this was of help to someone at least!
Hi guys, a few days ago I transferred all my music onto my new One X from my laptop manually, in USB storage mode (can't remember the exact name but it wasn't using HTC Sync) and that was fine, I turned off my laptop and for the next day and a half I had no problems listening to music etc.
I think at some point I connected my phone again, just to charge, and chose the "charge only" setting. Then yesterday I tried to access my music and I got the error message "Your content is unavailable because your phone is being used as USB storage. Disconnect USB to access your content." I went back into "connect to PC" but the default connection was set to "charge only". I cannot access notes, as it tells me "please insert an SD card" and when I try to view my photos I get "SD card unmounted". Obviously there is no SD card/slot so it seems like my phone's internal memory has vanished. I haven't lost any apps, but when I go to Settings -> storage, my total space is 2.11GB with 1.77GB available.
I tried using HTC Sync instead but the program tells me "You have connected a device with no storage card." I don't know what to do!
Please help!
Thank you so much in advance,
Lindsay
Disconnect phone from pc. Set USB connection to charge only before disconnecting. Go to menu storage. Under phone storage see if it is detected. If not reboot your phone.

had this happen a couple of days back. My phone started to lag to the point it was unusable (slower than the G1).
When i went to play a movie or audiobook it said the card wasnt mounted. I ended up factory resetting the machine and after that its been fine (so far).
Like you i could only get the charge only symbol on the phone when connected.
Im pretty sure it was a software bug as a factory reset solved the problem and i didnt lose any data (such as music and movies etc). i had to re download all my apps, i miss titanium back up lol.

Thanks for the replies. I already had my phone set to charge only when I disconnected it, and it is still set to this. I tried rebooting but when I go to storage it still says 2.11GB, and under phone memory - "unavailable".
Yeah I have that too, when I plug in my phone now I don't have the option to use it as a USB storage device, I only have charge only or the 3 ones listed underneath. Is doing a factory reset the only option?
If you hold the power button down for 10 seconds it`s the equivalent of a battery pull.

Hi!
No matter what I do, my P6 *always* mounts as USB storage device despite having "Always prompt me" checked. I probably don't have to explain what it does - my SD card is no longer accessible phone apps, music playing stops no matter how quickly I switch to a different connection option.
Please, what can I do to change to behavior?

Just switch to charge only and wait for your storage to mount and be scanned again.

Hello.
My G3 is about 3-4 months old now. Since my purchase everything works like it should, except that it stopped connecting to computers properly. In the first few weeks it worked like a charm: Plug-in the cable, select the SD-connect thingy and the SD folder pops up on the computer screen. Same as most other phones working with SD cards. But since a few weeks it won't popup the SD folder. Also, it's unfindable in the 'Computer' directory; the place where all portable hard drives usually become visible.
Some facts:
There's nothing wrong with the SD card itself. Apart from the PC connectivity it works like a charm and is brand new.
I've tried to connect to 3 different computers with 3 different cables. All with the same result.
All 3 computers do recognize my phone. It's actually visible under Device Management in the Control Panel as a 'HID'. I've actually tried using the LG PC suite bull**** program which worked fine, but really slow and buggy (though irrelevant since it shouldn't be necessary in the first place).
Phone recognition sequence: 1. Computer starts to install driver thingies (or whatever it does, it's the same as always when you plug-in a USB for the first time). 2. Nothing.
As usual, the phone offers some options after plugin, when I scroll down the upper bar. When I press 'Charging..." nothing happens. When I press 'Charge Phone' this option menu pops up, which completely neutralizes my logics: This was never necessary to connect to my computer at all. I've also yet to understand these options and their functions fully. I believe it has something to do with the LG PC suite. I made screenshots, but this forum does not allow me to post those yet.
Nevertheless, I just want to go back to the original "plugin to pc --> select SD card --> browse and copy" way of transferring files... I've searched everywhere in the phone settings to solve my problem, but without succes, obviously.
Can anyone help me?
Cheers!!
Anyone?
