When I connect my phone to my mac, it only shows up when I have kies running. I can't see it as a usb storage device like I can on windows. Is there a way to fix this?
I figured it out. I'll list the steps in case another OSX user needs help.
1. Enable USB Debugging mode (Settings > Applications > Development > Enable - USB Debugging
2. Connect your phone to your computer.
3. On your phone, bring down the drop down menu and select the USB connection, then click enable.
4. You should be able to use your phone as a USB storage device, now.

I think I am unable to get my phone into USB debugging mode.
First off, I believe I have downloaded all the correct drives via links from this forum. I have enabled USB debugging mode by going from Home > Settings > Applications > Development > USB debugging checked.
However, when I connect my phone, in the status bar it reads, "USB connected" should it say something with regards to USB debugging? My HTC phone specifically would say USB debugging when connected. Please forgive my noobness, this is my first Samsung phone.
Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated, thank in advance!
I, too, came from a long line of HTCs. There is no notification for USB debugging for this phone. If you want to make sure it is working, root it!
Good luck and enjoy your new phone!
Type
adb devices
If you see your phone, usb debugging is working
My ****ty car stereo won't recognize my phone with it rooted. When it's on stock and it uses the "MTP" for data transfer it will work. Are there any flashable zips that will change it back to MTP and still keep my rooted ROM?
Go to Settings -> Applications -> Debugging -> Disable USB debugging.
Wording may be a bit off, but that is from memory. When you turn on USB debugging, it disables MTP.
Thanks dude. I'll give it a try
with ICS ( KA10 and Arconium ICS 1.1) i got a problem , when i connect my Phone to my Computer with USB , it automatically locks SD-Card for File Access from the Computer, how can i disable this feature? I just want to charge my Phone on the PC!
Thanks!

I have the same problem on the official ICS (.562)
I often charge the phone by the computer-usb, and each time, it mounts the SDcard to be available for the computer
I saw that there is a service USB connectivity and storage capability in the running services...
I unplug the USB, kill both services, and plug usb, then:
the service USB connectivity is running again, and SDCard is so plugged to the computer.
Problem in the option Connectivity (Xperia menu), we just have: MTP or MSC
(we don't have option "do nothing, and let me choice" )
seems like we are the only with this problem..
I installed the ROM arconium v2.0, and had the same result. I asked them why, and they gave the simple solution :
it's because we are using the MSC mode (mass storage).
To change it into the MTP mode (multimedia transfer):
Settings > Xperia™ > Connectivity > USB connection mode > MTP
It's better when we choose the correct options

I had this annoying problem too when I tried ICS and sadly changing the connection mode to MTP is not a solution for me since Sony messed up the protocol and doesn't work on Linux at all.

Thank you! I'm on official ICS and I was getting annoyed with this.

Solution I proposed need, when you want to plug your SDCard to the computer, to go each time in the menu Xperia to select the corresponding option (MSC <> MTP).
It doesn't correspond to that I needed, because I'm using a widget which allow to do this by one-click (like widgetsoid).
So, to keep this one-click ability, I finally freezed (with Titanium backup = root needed) the services 'USB capability' and 'Storage capability'.
Now, only my widget is activating/disactivating the USB
-> but be carefull: you can do it by a widget, but the option is not displayed in the toolbar and the menu anymore...
Little remark after some days of use:
To keep this one-click ability with a dedicated widget, only 'USB capability' has to be freezed. No need to impact the service 'Storage capability'.
Is there a way to stop the HiSuite image from mounting when connecting via USB? Mate SE, Android 8.0 (ota), rooted, macOS.
If you change the developer settings to usb debugging, usb allow adb debugging in charge only, and usb connection to charge only, that will avoid the hi Suite stuff.
If you change the settings and then connect, keep the settings app open, for some reason you have to go back and reset them again after connecting. At least that's what I have to do, they don't seem to stick.

Just to follow up, I discovered a more permanent solution, if you're rooted:
Rename (or delete) the file autorun.iso located at /data/hw_init/version/region_comm/oversea/cdrom
Can't mount it if it's not there
Wonder if it is only my reme! Unlocked boot-loader. Ver: RMX2081_11_A_41. Not checked on 33 or39.
1. Enable USB Debugging - connect to PC - Select usb connection only for charging device - Debug option goes off.
2. Enable USB Debugging - connect to PC - Select usb connection for "transfer files" - Debug option stays on.
3. Connect to PC with USB debugging on and select "transfer files" - pull down QS and tap to select usb connect is only for charging - Debugging forced off in dev options settings.
Is it something implemented in Android 10? Never had a device with stock Q ROM. Used only custom Q ROMs on earlier devices and not exposed to this implementation if it is so! Did not want to upload a screen record of the same as it is about ~11 MB.
Can someone please throw some light on this and how USB debugging option has to be tied to USB connect choices - if it happens on anyone's device? And thanks in advance.
I have read this - https://www.realme.com/in/support/kw/doc/FAQ1114 though it is an older one but still not able to figure out the relationship when USB transfer files can exist without dev options but not the other way around.
