hiya.
running GV1.5, have tried after a 100% clean wipe, have tried reformatting SD card, it's none of that... also, for the record, this is a factory HTC USB cable.
this is not a GV problem, but it might be Gingerbread-related (it started with a CM7 rom). ONLY happens when I am plugging in my phone in via usb to my car's stereo. mounting the SD card to a computer/any other device doesn't seem to be an issue:
- if I don't have USB debugging enabled, the sd card mount prompt flashes for about half a second and then disappears. it's not possible to press "mount" before it disappears, and even when I got lucky once and hit it before it disappeared, it just caused the task bar to force close. this wouldn't be an issue, but I can't have USB debugging enabled when mounting the SD card to the stereo - it makes the stereo mad.
-workaround (this works just fine, just kind of annoying) is to enable USB debugging, then connect usb, mount SD card and after it has mounted, disable USB debugging.
just curious if this is a known issue with any one else? kind of unique situation I suppose, so I'm not sure if anyone has run into this.
appreciate any insight!

A few weeks ago when running a LeeDroid custom ROM, i noticed that whenever I had HTC Sync as the default connection type in "Connect to PC" and I plug my phone in using the usb cable , the phone would Sync with my PC but it would also mount the SD card as a USB removable drive. This is not supposed to happen and should only mount the SD card if I choose "Disk Drive" as the connection type in "Connect to PC"
I then unrooted my phone due to the reboot problem and I am still having the problem above, which is a pain because i have my phone charging all day at work and have custom ringtones on my SD card which do not work when the SD card is mounted as a removable drive.
Anyone else having the same trouble?
Winamp or something similar installed?
yep Winamp
Can be solved somewhere in the settings of Winamp, has been mentioned multiple times.
thanks, got it now!
I am rooted, and I've tried restarting both phone and laptop. Reseated sd card also. I have disk drive selected as default connection. Any ideas? Thanks
have you tried enabling or disabling usb debugging?
Have you tried selecting Mount as disk drive option when plugged into computer? I know my default is Charge only but when i want it to show up, I choose mount it. On my mac it comes up as a drive with "no name" as its name in the finder
I tried usb debugging. It says usb debugging enabled at the top of the evo when I connect it like that, but still cannot see the sd card. I do have "disk drive" selected as my default connection type.
Still can't get it to see the sd card. Is there a way to install a ROM via bluetooth?
Get a usb-microsd reader and mount the phone's sdcard on the mac, if you can't download the rom directly to your sdcard, over 3g/4g.
Did you happen to recently install the newest version of Ilife?
I think thats what did it for me...
For some reason, my phone will not give me the option to mount my SD card as a disk drive all of a sudden...
I'm using CM 7.0.2.1 with Tiamat 3.3.8 as my kernel. Anyone know how I might be able to fix it?? I'm trying to put KingdomRom on it but can't because I can't mount .
I've also tried a full wipe and reinstalling the ROM with a different kernel...and I'm still not getting anything. I've tried multiple USB cords as well.
I would try unmounting your SD card in Settings then reboot the phone.
Didn't work . I thought originally it might have something to do with the kernel, but I've changed to a different one and it still isn't working.
When you connect your phone to the computer, does the charging light come on? What happens when you tap the notification that says your phone is connected to the computer? Do you get the screen with the option to mount and it doesn't, or do you not get the notification at all?
Have you tried using something like Widgetsoid to toggle usb mount? I had a similar problem on Sense and using a widget to toggle mounting the phone as disk drive was the only way I could get it to work.
(from... Evo/MIUI/Tapatalk)
Also, what recovery are you using?
Sent from my sometimes infected,MIUI,Kings UNleashed Ultra Supersonic EVO...
Using ClockworkMod. I just stupidly reformatted my SD card after reflashing my ROM, so now once I am able to redownload GApps, I'm gonna download one of the widgets (might try AutoSync, too) and see if I can make progress in the morning.
Update: Got Market back on, downloaded Widgetsoid, enabled USB Mount...and still nothing. I've tried on 2 computers now with different USB cables and nothing.
Is it saying that your phone is connected to your PC at all? It could be your USB port, or your cable is going bad. Try plugging it in to the computer and jiggling the plug near the phone's usb port and see if it tries to connect. If it does, you may have to move it around until you get it to connect and then be very careful not to move anything while transferring files. Also if you have wifi you can transfer files by using an app from the market called wifi file explorer. They have a free and a paid version. Does you phone connect when you mount it to the computer in recovery mode? Does the charging light come on when you plug it in to your computer? Really more info is needed to diagnose your problem. There are also widgets in the market that will allow you to mount the phones storage without unmounting the card from the phone. Maybe this will work for you. Maybe the card is going bad? Who knows, but hopefully some of my suggestions help. If all else fails, you could always do it the old fashioned way and power the phone off, take the card out and plug it directly into your computer via the adapter if needed.
Yes, I do receive a charge light when I plug it into the computers USB. Android just does not provide the option to mount as a disk drive.
I like the Wifi File Explorer Idea. It sounds like a good alternative. Thanks so much to everyone for their suggestions!
It was working fine yesterday, but today in MIUI (same as yesterday), I can tell the phone to mount the SD card but it doesn't show up on my computer. So the phone says it's mounted, but it apparently isn't.
To make sure it wasn't a problem with the ROM, I rebooted into to CWM and mounted there, same thing. CWM says it's mounted but it doesn't show up on my computer.
I can view and edit the files on the SD card through ES File Explorer, but the SD card no longer appears on my computer?
It's not the USB port, I plugged in a flash drive and it worked. And I'm using the stock HTC Cable.
This is on my Inspire.
I'm inclined to say it's the wire, but nothing happened to the wire between today and yesterday. It was just sitting on the floor, and it still charges the device.
I did reboot my computer and phone...still no luck.
Does USB debugging have anything to do with it? I've been rooted for months and I never disabled and it didn't cause problems :/
Out of the two inspires in my household, one of my cables stopped working only a month after I bought it. It still works for charging but does not work for data. Have you tried a different cable just to be sure.
It might not be the phone nor the Rom since you've done some basic trouble shooting. It could possibly be your PC. Have you tried it on another computer? Possible driver problems or drive letter conflict might cause it not to display in Computer.
You can check whether Windows has detected your device by going to Start > Devices and Printers, it will pop up there if it is detected. Otherwise you can also check Disk Management. To do this just right-click on Computer > Manage > Disk Management. If you see the removable disk and sure that it is your SD card then it might be a driver letter conflict which you can easily fix by right-clicking on the removable disk and clicking "Change Driver Letter and Paths" and changing it to an unused driver letter. I've had similar issues with USB drives in the past. Hope this helps!
Cheers
Every time I plug in my phone to the PC the drives automount, I have dev mode enabled, but I remember it used to be that I had to click on "Connect" in the notification dropdown to connect them originally.
There are programs that automount the drives, I don't have any of these installed. I'm on Blazer 4.0 ... Does anyone know if there is a setting to turn off this automounting, so it only connects the USB( SD card, and internal ) when I click on the mount?
I'd really rather have the choice then have it just auto mount everytime. Any ideas?
