When I plug my phone into the computer it just charges and nothing pops up in the notification window for me to check set to storage or whatever. In development under applications USB debugging and notification when USB connected is on. I tried different USB ports on my computer and I tried rebooting the phone but still not working. What gives?
Does your computer recognize that something has been plugged in? (do you hear the usb inserted sound?) Have you tried plugging it into any other computers?

I have not tried on a different computer but when I plug it in the PDA Net thing that I installed to root pops up and says that I have plugged in a device, install pda on your phone to connect (or something along those lines)
Which rom are you using? if CM do you see the USB notification in the status bar? if your using windows, you might want to go into device manager and uninstall the USB host control and let windows scan and reinstall it.

Yeah I've been using it since it came out and had no problems with it. The USB has been working fine then yesterday I tried it out and it wasn't working.
Have you tried pulling the card and using a USB card reader on your PC? if the card cant be read with the card reader your SD card maybe going or gone bad... if it does read it, might want to backup and format it with the SD assoc format tool
Edit: is this the original SD card that came with your MT3GS? class 2 8gb Samsung... at least that's what mine was?

Oh I see... then try what the previous post says, backup your sd and format it. also it might be your usb port and/or cable's fault... even if the phone starts charging it doesnt mean the cable is making a good contact :/
it happens to me sometimes my dog went nom nom nom on my usb cable so it fails to connect properly sometimes xD
EDIT: you know what, try this and that way we can blame the rom if it works...
go into recovery and under partitions select mount usb and plug your phone to your computer, if it mounts and you see all your sdcard's contents then you just need to wipe and reflash ^_^
When I had this problem I had to get a replacement

It mounted in recovery and I was able to see the contents. Must be a problem with the ROM. I wonder how that happened? The other day my phone restarted randomly and usually it boots right up when it does that but this time it got stuck at the boot screen and I had to pull the battery and try again. Maybe that broke it somehow?

No, I'm on miguels smartass kernel with cm7 rc1, I can mount just fine. I would just wipe and reflash, should fix it. If not, try a different rom. If that doesn't work, then its hardware. Does adb work?

Unfortunately I was lazy and used Samsung Kies to access my SD cards instead of following his instructions to allow my PC to view them. Now using cm7 I don't get the usb utilities option he describes when I go under wireless and network settings.

USB works fine for me on cm7. Adb also. Although I know some people can't get it to work. The first time you plugged your phone in after flashing cm7 did you let all the drivers install when you plugged your phone in? It took my laptop like 10 minutes to find and install the drivers

To be fair it was connecting to Samsung Keis still but I assumed after five minutes it wasn't working. Maybe I needed to leave it for 10+ minutes connecting?

Okay using the stock Android OS when I go into Wireless and Network settings there is an option for usb utilities that when I go into allows me to access the SD cards on my PC. Does this appear only if connected to a PC via usb? Because I recall looking in the same or similar settings option when running cm7 and not finding usb utilities.
SD card mounting works fine if you use Auto USB Mount from the Market.
Wifi explorer from marketplace works for me

As the title says; all of a sudden I cannot drag & drop folders from phone to PC. It starts transferring and it either stops without anything moving over or stops after 2-3 folders. Need to make a back-up of CWM & TiBu so I can format everything and do a new, fresh install but, nada..
I had this problem as well. My fix was to turning off and on debugging sometimes helps as well as changing the modes for the USB connection from MTP to PTP and let the drivers install then change back to MTP and finaly keep awake in the dev options on the settings menu.
After all did all that mine hasn't had a problem again yet. I've also herd that you should plug it into a USB port that's not a hub/extra port on the case go for one of the USB ports on the back of your PC that are directly on the mobo.
Good luck.

I have the same problem but it is only within clockworkmod folder. Any other folder or file copies with no issues over to my PC. Windows explorer crashes every time i attempt to move one of my nandroids over to my PC. I am rooted with the correct drivers.

I've ran into this problem before,just like many others probably have,try a few different things,like rebooting your pc,if that doesnt work,reboot your phone and wipe cache and delvik and reboot,then try it,if that doesnt work,go back into recovery and use the USB connect in there.Maybe even uninstall the HTC sync app,then try it.

I know this isn't very good news...but I just ran into a similar problem. It seems to be a design flaw in the OG EVO. If it can't be seen over adb (adb devices) then in all likelihood, the USB data connectivity is borked. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Good news? It's easy to swap out the mother board on an OG Evo and they're cheap on ebay. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid=p5197.m570.l1313&_nkw=htc+evo+4g+motherboard&_sacat=0 or try to find one locally on craigslist. Just make sure it has a good ESN, and like I said it's a fairly easy replacement,

HEY thanks for the help, luckily this isnt a life or death issue,at least now i know the problem,thanks again!:fingers-crossed:
Sorry if this was answered before, I couldn't find an appropriate thread for that.
So I installed latest OrDroid 2.7.5, everything went smoothly and works fine for now.
But I have issues trying to connect the phone to my PC and access internal storage.
Once I connect the USB cable I get the usual "USB Connected - Tap to change settings". Once I press it I get the "Portable hotspot & tethering" instead of the window where I choose charge/USB only.
In My Computer it appears as Digital Camera "HTC One X", but not as Removable drive as it was before.
Any ideas how to access the storage again?
Thanks in advance
This is not specific for ordroid but
Check under
Settings
Storage
Usb computer connection ( in three dotmenu or context menu)
It should be mtp or mass storage.

scroll down for post from user jackolus and see the next reply.
will have to try on my other PC with Win7 to see if it works.
Another option - go to Recovery and connect your phone to PC. This way it appears in My Computer as HTC Storage. Not the most convenient method, but still better than nothing.
any one know of any fix for this yet? i'm on mac and cannot mount sd card other than going into recovery. pain in the ass, every time i plug it in to my dock htc sync link pops up, tried installing it it but it's ****e, still doesnt allow direct access to sd.
If its not installed it pops up as a link, if it is installed it pops up the app. pain if i only want charge.
Really annoys me when they remove common used features.
Someone at HTC must have sat and had a thought, yes they have 32gb non removable sd card but it's highly unlikely they ever want access to it, lets take the option away.
There's no 'fix' as HTC has changed the storage from USB MS for MTP - unless they change it back there's not a lot you can do
EDIT: This might help...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1355913
Thanks, may have to revert to ics then, this is a big flaw for me, do a lot of transferring files to and from sd, cant be ****ed with entering recovery everytime.

you can't mount sd card while using the phone unfortunately... you need to mount it from recovery
Hey whats up you guys!
I just bought a Xperia Play and a have a problem...
The SD was working fine, i had tested two of them. So i plug the phone on the computer to access the SD and surprise, surprise, nothing happened. I mean, the battery was recharging but the PC do not find the Phone/SD and the Phone do not recognize USB mode or something like that, it was just recharging. Then, from out of nothing, the phone stop recognizing the SD. When i try to mount it, it works for a couple of seconds and then the phone unmount the SD.
I have formated both SDs to Fat, Fat32 and NTFS but still dont work.
Any ideas about what is this?
Thank you very much!
Update: After several "factory reset", Xperia Play is mounting the SD card, but USB still doesn't work.
try this

Enable USB debugging and check your drivers on your PC.
Also if you have modded your phone you might have to reflash your recovery image because it sounds like a driver problem.

I've tried in "USB Debug" but still doesnt work. And what drivers should i check for? I dont think the problem is in my PC cause i have tried in another one.
The thing is i bout this phone from a guy so it isnt new, but i dont think it was "modded" - at least doesnt seem like it was.
And lets say that i would have to reflash it, how would i do it without USB?
Thanks!
sounds like it might be broke

This will be a problem cause there is none Sony's authorized place and the others are not that good. I guess i will just return the phone :/
Anyways, thanks for your support!
Before you return it just download PC companion and install it then plug in the phone and see if it is recognized then and if not then yea probably hardware problem
sent from my Sony Ericsson Xperia Play™(r800x) Running Slimbean 3.0 using Tapatalk 2™
yup pc companion worth a try
If that dont work try this. Power the phone off and hold the back button while connecting it if it does it would confirm its a software problem.
I had tried with PC Companion and it does not work either :/
So... I turned the phone off and connected it pressing the back button. Something different happened... The screen dont turn on. I mean, the light on the power button gets on but the screen do not. Anyways, the PC still dont recognize nothing.
As i said i have tested other cable and other PC but this other cable is from Lumia 710. Both are micro-USB but Lumia's dont have that thing near to the connections. I have also tested the Sony Ericsson's cable on Lumia and it works fine. But anyway, is there any chance of the problem be the cable? I have found a thread with a problem like this and the guy have tested other "working" cable and it still doesn't worked but when he tried a third cable it worked.
Its pretty weird that in whole internet there is so few problems like this lol
And again, thank you all for the support!
Edit:
I check out the "liveware" when i plug the phone into computer and it recognize as charger.
By the way, my device have Android 2.3.3. Shouldn't it have Android 2.3.4?
try doing this, mount the sd card. right click on my computer select > manage> choose storage>disk management. now look for your sd card space,(eg. if ur sd card is 8gb then look for a space or disk showing 7.45GB or whatever u card size is) right click and select change drive letters and path, now select add and assign a letter from the list for ur drive and now ur sd card must be visible.

Have you tried accessing the connectivity settings on your phone maybe auto mount has been switched off so either turn it back on or click mount if not try media transfer mode. If none of these work there is a fault possible software or hardware. Also make sure liveware is not set to charge only when connected to the computer

You mean in "Sony Ericsson/connectivity"? If yes, there is no such thing of auto mount in my device. And about Liveware, i cant find this option of "charge only". I have tryed mtf mode, but doesn't work either.
Anyways, i dont think is a configuration problem cause i have wiped the phone several times.
About a "software problem", would be possible to fix it have said that the computer dont even know that the device was plugged in?
Thank you guys!
