So I have a new one for everyone. Ever since I last reloaded the firmware on my Evo, its been automatically mounting as a usb drive when I plug it into my computer. I think I told it to do that by default, but I successfully changed it, but even though it says charge only, but still mounts to the computer. Its rooted, but stock on the latest OTA with full NAND unlock. If anyone happens to know a way to fix this, I sure would be grateful, its annoying. Its easy enough to fix, just toggle between charge only and mount usb, hit ok, and then the sd card is loaded to the phone, but its kind of annoying to do every time I plug it in to my computer. (I usually charge off my computer, to keep it close by.) Thanks in advance!
Do you have DoubleTwist installed? By default (the moment you install it) it causes this issue unless you go into the app and turn it off under options.

Hey I have looked everywhere for a fix to this problem.
I rooted my desire a few weekends ago, with it now running Neophyte Froyo 2.2 ROM perfectly.
I connected the phone to PC afterwards and transferred some apps onto the sd card (as a disk drive) including a few songs as well.
Since yesterday however, whenever i plug my phone into PC, I am no longer able to access the SD card as a disk drive. The computer recognises the usb, however the phone no longer brings up the menu which asks what i want to eg. charge only, sync, disk drive etc. There is also no drop down menu from the top of the phone for me to change this. Going and manually changing the setting in the desire to "automatically mount as disk drive" has also not helped.
I thought my phone was USB bricked and went on to performing the fix for this. However, despite going through both the methods posted here as well as modaco (changing the CID), the problem persists.
I have accessed the phone using adb, and after typing adb devices, it registers the phone as connected with a serial number, so i dont think USB bricking is an issue here.
I can see a disk drive in computer whenever i plug the phone in, but if i double click on it, it states "Please insert disk drive into F". I have uninstalled the htc sync and drivers numerous times without improvement. I have also restarted my PC and my phone numerous times without improvement.
My phone still reads my SD card no problem. My SD card is also able to be accessed by my PC by taking it out of the phone and using a card reader.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
I have the same problem on my samsung vibrant phone.
Exactly the same problem here
my SD card is definitely fine, adb commands work.
neither double twist nor HTC sync recognise any phone connected. my computer sees it, but can't access it (same error message)
would love to sort this out too!
ROM: LeeDrOiD v2.3d
Radio: 32.54.00.32U_5.14.05.17
EDIT: found out it was my own fault. i use autostarts, and stopped 'PC synchronization' from automatically booting after startup. thought it would automatically start when connected to PC, but clearly not. once i undid this it connects to PC fine again, get the dropdown menu!
Sorry, how did you fix this - i am having this too...

He stopped the PC synchronization. Maybe you can stop it in the menu (Settings - Accounts & sync -> disable Background data and Auto-sync). I don't know if that works, but you can try it.
If you have got a Task Manager or something like that you could look for the task and kill it.
I'm not sure, but it should help.
Please post the result of your try.
Tried - no help. Couldn't find anything like "PC synchronisation"??
I ended up taking the battery out, jiggling the SD card and trying again - that seemed to fix it ?! weird...
great

you rock man, it works like a charm after it was a killer pain ... thanks a lot
I recently rooted my Dinc. I had no problems, had full functionality. Then i wanted to download a quick rom just to make sure it worked; jager rom. After downloading the rom i unplugged safely removed my phone from my pc. I plugged it back in but now i can't access my sdcard. Dont get any notifications on my phone asking whether i want to charge or switch to hard disk etc. etc. I then went to "connect to pc" through my phone settings to set default connection to hard disk, but still nothing. I then went through cmd promp on computer and adb reboot recovery. From there i wiped my memory, cache, and then the dalvik cache. Still nothing and still running the jager rom. Ne one have ne suggestions, been through this, know how to fix it help would be nice. I have full functionality of my phone. Just can't connect to pc.
Most likely your sd card died. It happens. Try it in an adapter in a PC flash card reader. Oh, btw prob wrong forum.
It would still ask what you want to do with a dead sd. The rom should also tell you no sdcard found or bad card.
Reboot to recovery and try to mount usb that way. If that doesn't work, reboot your pc, it happens sometimes to me and just needs a reboot to fix it.
Furthermore, if you're able to use adb, then you are indeed connected to the pc. Don't do the safely remove hardware next time. Just switch the connection type in your phone to charge only and unplug.
Also.. yes, wrong forum.

Hi Everyone,
I'm currently having this issue where I can't mount USB mass storage at any PC. The green android screen that appears whenever the phone is plugged in immediately disappears when selected?
My current config is in my sig, if that helps diagnose the problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
I had the same issue once with a Motorola Droid. I would recommend you to make a nand-backup and wipe the device and see if it corrects.
If not, try with another ROM. This way you can restore everything if you happen to find the reason and know you can correct it from your current setup.
Now, it seems obvious but just to be sure, have you checked in Config->Connect to PC that the phone asks you for the Connection Type?
Regards
Just acted on a hunch and I was right: the kernel that I was using somehow broke this feature, flashing pershoot's fixed it
i have this problem i am running cm7.1 still can not do anything even flashing pershoot and fixing permission. anyone help me?
At some point, I did something that enabled me to plug my Note 2 into my computer and then pull up
the Play store online and then install apps over USB. Somehow, today, that option is gone.
In windows explorer, no longer is the phone even showing up.
This is in addition to the multiple problems I've had getting my external SD card to stay mounted.
I took it out of the phone earlier today, formated it to fat32, then it worked, until I rebooted the phone.
I've got so many problems going on with this phone. I would pay someone to help me get it fixed and stay fixed.
Laugh all you want at me, I don't mind. I'll admit I'm in over my head.
I had no idea I would need a PhD in computer engineering to work this phone.
Let me put it this way: I no longer even have the wherewithall to write out what I've done and all the steps and procedures
I've gone through.

Not sure about the SD card, but your USB connection might be because you uninstalled Samsung USB drivers? As for play store, you don't need usb connection to get an app to install from pc play store. Just select your phone when installing and the app will automatically install on your phone as long as you have internet connection
So my friend, having made a move to the iPhone 6+, asked me to help her move pictures, etc. from her old phone to her new phone. Unfortunately, I don't know what went wrong and her phone (t989) won't connect to the computer. The notification that it's in USB mode doesn't show, the sd cards (internal and external) aren't being read / even visible on the computer, and it's a stupid phone that I personally want to destroy.
Caveats:
She is on Gingerbread still having never updated her phone. All her pictures are on her internal SD card too. Apps are of course restricted by her OS (but it wouldn't be that hard to find old apps, just time consuming). Google Play Store crashes frequently while downloading apps. She isn't rooted (obviously, I don't blame her since she isn't interested in all that, and the only root method seems to be to use ODIN, but that would wipe her internal clean which I don't want to do.
What I've done:
I've done a hard reset on the phone (shut down, remove battery, insert battery, turn on). Not sure if the seconds matter, but it was a quick take out, put in. Maybe a few seconds, definitely not 30 more. But when the phone turned on, her time went back to 1970 or something.
I've tried to copy the DCIM of the internal onto the external, but she has like 5k pictures and using My Files, it quits the transfer randomly without an indication where it quit or why.
AirDroid, but that gave me invalid package. Could have installed manually, but didn't have that much time and didn't think about it.
Bluetooth on the mac doesn't stay connected to the phone.
My goal:
Figure out how to connect to the computer preferably over USB. I still need to transfer her whatsapp messages too but without it showing up on the computer, I'm stuck. I've downloaded Samsung drivers, I have Samsung Kies installed. I just don't know what is wrong with it.
Any ideas? I've done all this on my laptop, but I told her to come over some day to use my desktop and see if it works on there (I was using a Windows Bootcamp partition on my macbook pro). I tried to connect the phone to OSX as well, but I didn't install Kies, which might be a reason... but the USB connected notification just doesn't want to come.
