My problem might be a little odd, but im not really sure whats going on with it.
Basically when i take a photo, it shows up on my phone in the gallery and file mangers, but when connected to my PC with a USB, the photos dont show up.
I can get the images to appear on Windows after rebooting my phone, but i was wondering if there was another way to solve it.
Any one have any ideas?
Thanks
i have exactly the same problem on my desire gsm with cm7 latest stable. if i take some photos they commonly show up on my sdcard. if i unplug it again to do some new photos, plug it back in and browse the sdcard the new taken pictures wont show up... does anyone have an idea how to solve this?
i think i read a thread on here the other day about this could be that ur sd card is cooked. search the forums its here somewhere sorry cant remember where. maybe try a different card
my card does this but it also isnt recognized in my pc anymore when it always was so im thinking its frazzled,

hi all,
when ever i connect my DHD via usb, it reads charge only, but still mounts my sd. I've connected my friends DHD too and also reads charge only but doesn't mount his sd (i thought it would be an issue since im using mac, but doesn't seem so). However, whilst connected, if i change it to disk drive and then back to charge only, it unmounts my sd from the pc and i can access once more from my phone.
Has anyone had this problem before, or any ideas on how to actually change it to charge only once connected to a pc?
thanks
Never had that sort of problem on the PC, might be a setting that you have to change like USB debugging. Don't see why though, never heard of this problem to be honest. I'd contact the place i got the phone from if you have tried all settings.
I've tried with both usb debugging on and off but still have the same problem. I've tried all that i could think of...just can't figure it out :/
i have the same problem!
got tha same problem, since i got 2 DHDs at the moment ill check that out later.
Actually when you connect your phone to the pc the sd card cannot be mounted on the phone even if you choose charge only ... i saw some app on the market the other day which allows your sd card to be mounted both on the pc and the phone .... cant quite remember the name .. I am sure it will come up if you do a google

i thought that if you connect the phone to pc and is set on charge only, one could use the sd from the phone(ex. one can view pics taken from camera or use an app that is saved on the sd)...I'm pretty sure that that is the case when my friend connects his DHD to a pc...but ill take a look and check if there is an app like the one mentioned above, thanks

Simple fact the SD card should not mount straight away that is why you get the option if you do not choose one it goes to charge only as default if your SD card is mounting without request there possible hardware fault and you are right with if your phone plugged in and set as charge only you can use as normal with full access to your pics and apps saved on SD anyone tells you different they are wrong
From England with leedroid dhd techo!

the prob is that its mounting without request and even though its set at charge only as default, it still mounts :/
I had this issue when I got mine, it went after applying the first HTC OTA.

did you figure out a way on how to solve it?
I'm hoping someone can help me. After going through several sd cards, thinking the phone was frying them from being overclocked, I've come to realize it's something with partitioning the card.
I was having a problem with not seeing the pictures I take when mounted to the laptop. After a fresh boot or whatever, the first set of pictures were fine. Then something would happen. After disconnecting and taking more pictures, when I would connect to the laptop this time, no pictures. I would disconnect and let the phone load the SD and I would check the gallery. The pictures were there just fine. I would connect back to the laptop and nothing.
After extensive testing, I found that if I just simply rebooted the phone, the second set of pictures would be show up. WTF.
This is the strangest thing I've ever come across. I don't like it when I can't figure things out for myself, lol. Please, if anyone can help, post your thoughts and/or solutions.
Thanks in advance
I havent yet found any solutions to this problem and decided to ask here.
This happens at only Sense based roms!
When I connect my phone as usb disk drive to pc and than back %90 of the time my media files randomly disappear. Many of my music files gone missing and my selected rimgtone / alarm etc mp3 also returns to defaults. Videos photos randonly hidden from system as well.
The files are there but android os cant access them. Only way is using an app like SDRescan this solves the problem until I connect the phone again to transfer files...
Please I have tried everything from formatting the sdcard with fat32 again to searching for .nomedia hidden files etc etc. No solution worked yet.
Again only Sense roms do this. I used MIUI and CM7 too they didnt have this behaviour I never loose any files like this.
Extra info: My phone went to service and mainboard changed and the same thing is happeneing so I have no reason to belive it is about the phone.
Only Suspect: SDCard. (The default one that comes with the phone) But it is not really a strong suspect. Cause it works in other roms.
Anyone has any solution? This is driving me crazy and I want to use my phone with Andoroid revolution HD rom.
Any help is appreciated.
123 hits and noone has any idea?
Could be something related to mediaserver...Nothing comes in mind as I'm playing paintball right now. Does this happen on all sense ROM's, (2.x - 3.x) or ARHD in particular?
Sent from my DZ.
Oh god an answer finally!
Ok this is my history with Desire Z:
bought phone:
Stock Froyo -problem
upgrade:
Stock Gingerbread - problem
rooted:
CM7 : no problem
MIUI (bulletproof) : no problem
lets try sense again after a long time!:
Revolution HD Rom: Problem again!!!
BTW I am not a noob. I have prepared an s-off/root and custom rom guide for the most popular forum in my country and helped a lot of people to root their desire z's.
Running ARevoHD rom with swap and supercharge with out any other problems at the moment.
But this stupid bug is driving me crazy. I gotto run SDrescan app after every time I use my sdcard as a disk.
Eh, sorry for not replying earlier, just came back.
Now, the behaviour you explain is odd. Have you tried logcat and see if there's any relevant output? I'd look for "Mediaserver" first. By the way, have you tried plugging the phone to another computer? I'd try that too.
The behaviour I told you isnt very uncommon. Many people have this problem. HTC answer it by saying "format your sdcard" some people says it fixed theirs. But my problem still goes on. Also I dont know where to and how to look with logcat. This happens when I choose DISK mode when connected with usb. And than when you go back to normal mode mp3's are gone until you rescan.
I cant believe I am the only one having these issues here.
Shameless bump
What brand card do you have? And remember, XDA is not your Tech Support site.
Yeah sometimes I forget this is a developer "only" forum and the residents are usually elite and unforgiving people and not to be disturbed by petty questions of "15 year old boys".
Excuse me for my question and thank you for your help.
I wont be disturbing the forum again.
BTW before the flames:
I respect all the developers here for whom I am very grateful of and I get triple the fun from my Desire Z by the works of them. Thank you.

People come in, they read it, but have no idea how to fix your problem, so they don't reply.
There could be a problem with the rom, where it doesn't mount the card properly. Also what OS are you running, and how do you unplug the phone? Many people ignore the saftey removal warning for flash drives an other devices, but sometimes it could be the culprit. Next time make sure you go through the process to safely remove hardware and xee if it happens again (On Windows, right click the little icon in the bottom right to safely remove, and on mac, drag the 'drive' to the trash bin (which changes to an eject button)
Nothing is changed how I remove my phone from USB. I tried everything and it seems unrelated how I unplug.
Because this happens when I change my phone from disk mode to charge mode even.
ALWAYS the same MP3's are lost I am sure because I change my ringtone to same mp3 everytime and when this happens that ringtone disappears from music player and I cant choose it from ringtone setup screen. So until I rescan my sdcard with an app I cant seem to see those mp3's. There is nothing wrong with MP3's too.
I am not sure if the problem is my SDcard or the general Sense based roms. I am truely lost in this case.
It never happens if I dont connect it to usb and change to disk mode.
My theory :
Somehow the mediaserver who archives the media files forgets half of my files when lost connecttion to sdcard. I dont know why or how.
i used to have the same problem, but it disappeared by it self i don't know how, try formatting it
Oh as I said in my original message I formatted my SD card with fat 32 system and this didnt work at all. I will try again but it is frustrating to backup gigabytes of data froma slow card meh
It is good that I am not the only one I hope to find some reasonable solution to this.
OK this is driving me crazy, when I connect my phone to my PC (Win 7) and go to my phone files they all look empty, I click on DCIM and choose camera all my pictures are there but I can't see them they don't popup automatically like they use to, the only way I can browse through my pictures is by opening them up individually, I tried the same thing with my old Galaxy S Vibrant and it works just fine I can see all my files and the contents without me opening them up, so I know there is nothing wrong with the computer. I tried different data cables original and others again with no luck, does anyone have any idea what is wrong with my phone, please help.
Can you post a screen shot so that we have a better idea of what you are talking about?

I have the same issue extremely intermittently. The only resolution I have discovered so far is to disconnect and reconnect the phone to the PC.

I attached screenshots check it out
I just connected my S3 to see if mine did the same thing, and it does. I think that the problem is that the phone connects to the computer using MTP and not mass storage. Here's a link with some one else that had the same problem.

Thanks for the reply, I'm kinda glad to know it's not just me that can't see any thumbnails, can someone else confirm that these devices don't load any thumbnails...
Damn it man, I can verify I have the same damn problem. Followed the link posted and nothing in there was helpful. If ANYONE has a link or answer please post. It would be most appreciated. Meanwhile i'm going to start researching the issue, if I find a solution I will post.

I can't believe a flagship devise like this can be this low tech, I have over 500 pictures in the camera folder how can I see the pictures I took recently on my PC if thumbnails won't load up, I hope the next update will address this problem and fix it.
Well I found some information in the link below. However every time you reboot you have go thru the process again and it is only for the external sd card. You are right this is extremely sad for FLAGSHIP DEVICE, I guess I am lucky I dont have that many pictures and dont take that many pictures that I can manage them thru the device.

The solution I found
This might not be the solution you are looking for, but it fixed it for me!
Basically, if your screen is locked when you connect your handset to your computer it will not read the files. Simply unlock your screen before connecting and they should come up...
If you think about it this is actually a pretty good security feature, but pretty confusing if you are not aware of it.
Hope this helps, I set up an account just to answer this so I hope it was worth the effort! haha. :victory:

He can see the files.. His issue is that thumbnails aren't generated... which I think is the issue for every gs3.

Wrong forum. Find the forum for your device and ask there. This is for the GS3 only.

Ok so I was getting ready to post some screen shots on here but when I transferred the photos to my computer I cant view them. They show in windows with the default flower image and when you open it just tells me it cant open this image. I have never had a problem before and have used nothing different than before. Anyone else run into this or can point me in the proper direction?
So this is a ongoing issue and I cant figure it out. I noticed after my op my sd card disconnected on its own. Reboot and it was fine again. Well today it just pooped out on me. Still cant get screenshots working. They are fine on the device but when I transfer them to widows it tells me the file is empty?? At one point I deleted them and restored them and two of them started working???? The strangest thing I have ever seen.
