when you access the phone via "phone" (winderz) its painfully slow, locks up the phone while you are transfering stuff, and limits you in what you can do.
This is my first android phone (had too many to count) where it didn't ask if I wanted to mount usb storage device. Instead I have to go settings-->wireless and network-->usb utilities-->press button-->plug in cable-->press next button on screen with android guy.
There has got to be an easier way???
Touch usb notification, it will give you the option to mount.
If usb debugging is not checked then it should automatically mount for u. If usb debugging is checked then use the notification panel to mount.

Debugging not checked. Usb notification is "mtb connected" touching it does nothing.
This is stock rom

Mine also exhibits this behavior.

Just plug it in and you can access whatever you need.

You guys aren't understanding. If it doesn't show up as a drive on your computer then you are limited as to what you can do with it AND in my case when I copy, paste, delete or do ANYTHING to the phone memory the phone locks me out and says its syncing or something. It becomes a paperweight until whatever I did is finished, and in the case of transfering 15gigs of music this is unacceptable. Especially at the speeds this runs when not mounted.
On the 5 or so other android phones I've had I got this screen as soon as I plugged into any computer

On this phone I have to do the following to see that screen:
settings-->wireless and network-->usb utilities-->press button-->plug in cable
Enable USB debugging then and use the notification bar to do that.

Bit of strange issue with my Hermes. I've just plugged it in, and now I'm getting error messages that an unknown USB device is connected to Vista. The problem is that it's been working fine for over a week now and then it goes and does this. Does anyone have any idea as to how I could try and fix this?
One thing you can try is to remove the CHECK MARK in START > Settings > Connections > USB to PC and UNCHECK Enable advanced network function.
Got the same error twice now, nothing a restart (PC) didn't fix.
or replace USB cable, or use shorten cable, or conect cable not to front USB, but in to the back connectors, bellow keyboard and mouse connectors -

Wow! You have smooth hands.
Seriously... I have had the same issue and all I had to do was restart Vista. You could also kill the wmdc.exe task and that seemed to work for me as well...
All works now; thanks guys.

This was the winning candidate.
You get this often after a flash. I either plug the USB into another port as it tries to install the drivers again or reset the pc.
I tried that but had no joy. It was a bit strange, but at least I've got it sorted now.
Ok, I've searched for about 3 days now and I can't find anything that answers my question.
My G2 is rooted and I'm running CM 6.1 RC2 and I would like to be able to pair AND connect to my Windows 7 laptop via bluetooth for file transfers.
I have the "Bluetooth File Transfer" app installed, but it will not connect to my laptop. It tries, but says that my laptop does not have the OBEX and/or OPP transfer protocol active. I've looked for answers on that and I can't find anything.
The phone does connect to other bluetooth devices without a problem (my car stereo for example). And my laptop connects to other devices without a problem (my mouse for example). There has to be a way to introduce these two crazy cats to each other - I know they will form a happy and fruitful relationship once they meet.
Thanks in advance.

Clear all caches clear bluetooth up/download clear all that out reboot do not connect to anything else before u try ur laptop. You need to make your laptop discoverable in the bt settings its kind of hidden. Do one of two things..... 1. First set up a personal area network between the phone and the laptop. Once that's "paired but not connected" initiate a file transfer of a small file txt or even one picture FROM the laptop to the phone. You need to pay attention to the pairing code and try to simultaneously accept on phone then laptop or laptop then phone until it pairs and initiate the transfer from laptop to phone. The thing is Windows is a beast that likes to protect itself and your phone is quite promiscious so youu have to kind of appease Windows rather than your anything goes phone. I forgot what number two is..
It also depends on UAC settings in Win7.
If that doesn't work... I suggest trying a dedicated app like PDAnet bluetooth tethering because it will find your phone. Just to connect not to tether. (As a test)
But the bottom line is you have history of connecting to other devices so you gotta clear all that memory out on both laptop and phone. Reboot both devices start fresh.
If not then maybe someone has other ideas to help. Nice bump btw.

I can't, it just keeps saying 'usb connected' and 'usb disconnected' repeatedly and no files show up.
I can get single card readers to work, but those types that have multiple slots for different types of cards just don't. On the pc the different slots show up as different drives, so I'm guessting this is the problem.
Has anyone got it to work?
I bought this. Works like a charm with all cards (microsd, sd, m2 and other) and it has a very fast data transfer!

Using it very often and always carry it at my pocket. For downloading photos from my friends with professional cameras.
Mine works fine

How does it work?
Are these the types where each card shows up as a separate drive when connected to a pc?
On the note, when you connect it, do 4 directories show up in the usbstorage\sda folder, each representing 1 card?
It could simply be that yours requires a higher power rating.
Which reader do you have?
so how does the multi slot reader look for those who got it to work? Do you see 4 directories under the \sda directory?

No. It works same as normal USB-flash stick with one sda directory. With DriveMount app I mount all NTFS partitions at separate folders from my 64GB flashcard and 1TB HDD with sata-usb adapter.
I tried getting drivemount but the market says it is incompatible with my note..
I got one 4 slot usb hub with some issues. I can mount 4 pendrives but cant mount some pendrives with some card reader or something. Plus when i mount 2 or more PD, it only allows me to transfer data from or to the device. .......it doesnt allow me to transfer data from one pd to another......dont know why?
Sorry, wrong thread.
I had rooted my phone out of the box, and last week installed the Android 4.4x OTA update. Which unrooted it, without protest or comment.
Today I went to root the phone again, only to find the menu function for Settings/General/Developer_Options/USB_Debugging no longer exists. In fact, the entire "Developer Options" section has been removed.
Does anyone know if that's been hidden somewhere? Moved? Or just locked out?
Will a root still work, if the choice of enabling USB Debugging is no longer there?

I have no idea what that "7 times" comment means.
But to answer the question, apparently USB debugging was either left on (as I had it) or is the new default, I've been able to re-root over the OTA 4.4.x

OH.
Thank you very much.
Now, when I find the guy who took that option off the menus and put up a secret tap-x-7 to enable it...Would you like to hold them for me? Or shall I hold them while you beat them? And after we get warmed up, we find the folks who *approved* that programming, and change places.
Tap 7x....
IS THIS *ING ZORK??
Again, thanks.

I am not being able to connect my Note3 to a Windows 8 PC using the USB MTP mode...
The PC is fully updated 8.1, and on the same PC it connects normally if I use windows 7. So its not a USB cable, port or ROM issue. Tried using updated samsung usb driver and Kies.
The phone shows it to be connected, not on the computer. The device manage shows it like this.

Strangely, it connects if I use the Camera (PTP) mode, but with that I can use the pictures only. I have tried many suggestions here and there, but no luck.
Well, the first problem here is Windows 8....
Try dialing *#0808# and switching through the USB modes that way.

Did try that already, no luck...
Now again I tried it on a windows 10 preview, and looks like it works there. Only windows 8 is somehow the problem.
Really? I was kidding about Windows 8 being the problem lol. Although somehow, I'm not surprised. I can't stand Windows 8. Glad you got it sorted, though.

I also cannot get my phone to connect to windows for file transfer....
On my Note 4 from Verizon, when I dial *#0808#, it actually dials and there's a phone ringing on the other end.
What should happen?
