Hi guys, a few days ago I transferred all my music onto my new One X from my laptop manually, in USB storage mode (can't remember the exact name but it wasn't using HTC Sync) and that was fine, I turned off my laptop and for the next day and a half I had no problems listening to music etc.
I think at some point I connected my phone again, just to charge, and chose the "charge only" setting. Then yesterday I tried to access my music and I got the error message "Your content is unavailable because your phone is being used as USB storage. Disconnect USB to access your content." I went back into "connect to PC" but the default connection was set to "charge only". I cannot access notes, as it tells me "please insert an SD card" and when I try to view my photos I get "SD card unmounted". Obviously there is no SD card/slot so it seems like my phone's internal memory has vanished. I haven't lost any apps, but when I go to Settings -> storage, my total space is 2.11GB with 1.77GB available.
I tried using HTC Sync instead but the program tells me "You have connected a device with no storage card." I don't know what to do!
Please help!
Thank you so much in advance,
Lindsay
Disconnect phone from pc. Set USB connection to charge only before disconnecting. Go to menu storage. Under phone storage see if it is detected. If not reboot your phone.

had this happen a couple of days back. My phone started to lag to the point it was unusable (slower than the G1).
When i went to play a movie or audiobook it said the card wasnt mounted. I ended up factory resetting the machine and after that its been fine (so far).
Like you i could only get the charge only symbol on the phone when connected.
Im pretty sure it was a software bug as a factory reset solved the problem and i didnt lose any data (such as music and movies etc). i had to re download all my apps, i miss titanium back up lol.

Thanks for the replies. I already had my phone set to charge only when I disconnected it, and it is still set to this. I tried rebooting but when I go to storage it still says 2.11GB, and under phone memory - "unavailable".
Yeah I have that too, when I plug in my phone now I don't have the option to use it as a USB storage device, I only have charge only or the 3 ones listed underneath. Is doing a factory reset the only option?
If you hold the power button down for 10 seconds it`s the equivalent of a battery pull.

I have a weird problem, When I plug my phone into charge, be it via PC or even the wall connection, it acts like "disk drive" mode is set, even though charge only is set.
If I reset it to charge only it then says "preparing SD Card" and is fine again.
I know of one other person with the same problem, any fixes?
I have this problem when i use my HTC cable but nt while i use my Dodgy cable from hong kong,
work around : Change the mode to HTC Sync from Charge only and it charges perfectly fine...
You can reselect charge only mode and it works fine, just dont understand why it acts like a disk drive in the first place
quite wierd i agree, the hong kong cable working, makes me think its the cable, but why could a cable change it to disk drive mode automatically(i have seen my htc cable change it to car mode automatically, which is understandable)
Do you have any apps such as Double twist, winamp etc? These apps have an auto mount sd function that you need to disable. Then magically it will no longer do this.
Check your apps people.

same here!!! it's since i permarooted with visionary_r12 and flashed hboot as well as an oc'd zimage and the adb-boot.img (before kernel)!
the strange thing is: even after a wipe and a clean flash of a stock rom i now have this problem...
must have something to to either with visionary, hboot or boot.img i think!
EDIT: shame on me, and big thx to ephumuris! indeed winamp was the cause... the strange thing is: i installed winamp about two weeks or so, and the automount started when i flashed hboot etc. ok, perhaps it has something to do with root rights etc.: winamp automount was active since i installed it, but started working after permaroot! anyway, big thx again!
This is my second post regarding the topic, the first had no replies so I thought I'd rephrase it and narrow it down.
I got my phone about 3 weeks ago. Installed a new ROM, didnt like it so I switched to mrRobinson's "ATT Stock + root" ROM. It was working great. All of a sudden the USB connection no longer works for data. I can plug it in and it charges, however windows doesnt recognize it as connected. I even tried ODIN and it did not see it. I've tried it on 2 PC's, different cables, and reinstalled drivers on both machines, still nothing. I asked about this on a couple of forums and heard no responses at all, out of desperation I downloaded via the airwaves some ATT update hoping it would fix it. All it did was unroot it.
The last time the USB worked, I was using it to xfer a bunch of files over. I was running out of time so I cancelled the copy and unhooked the phone (perhaps too soon?!?). The external 32GB SD Card was initially not recognized (however I tried a 2GB card and it worked). My battery died over the weekend and after I charged it up it started reading the 32GB SD card again. I thought the USB would work too, but it didnt. PLEASE HELP!
I also installed ADB and tried to do adb reboot, it said "error: device not found".
Everything else in the phone works fine. I have no other issues except for the USB one. Any ideas? I will PayPal you $10 if you can solve my problem (unless its hardware of course!). This is frustrating. Is there some setting I flipped?
I had similar issues. Try unticking USB debugging, plug it in and see if your storage pops up or if drivers start to install. Unplug and turn debugging back on and plug in. If still no adb, leave it plugged in and go to device manager and see if it recognizes the phone as anything. It may show ur phone with a yellow exclamation and if so right click and update drivers. if nothing works try a factory reset and try again. Hope this helps!!

You may want to check with a magnifying glass to see if anything in the port is bent; I've seen a few posts where the cable was taken out kind of abruptly and tweaked the usb port.
Thank you all for the help... I fixed it.
I had to leave the battery out of the phone and let the memory reset. It must have been something that was stuck in there. I am dontating $5 to a lucky developer (they didnt help me with the problem, just wanted to give back to the community).
I had noticed that initially it wasnt reading the 32GB SD Card, it did read a 2GB SD I had lying around.... The phone eventually ran out of juice and after I charged it the SD card was recognized. I imagine it had something to do with something in memory after that happened. I was talking with a coworker and he mentioned taking the whole battery out. I had done that before, but only for a few minutes, this time I left it out for 30min.
I plugged it back in and viola! everything was working.
Hope this helps someone else.
Okay before yall rage at me, I already search XDA+Google. I think I found some answers to it, but there seems to be some confusion about my problem...So I wanna ask you guys DHD/I4G users.
My problem is that when I connect my phone to the computer, my phone doesnt detect USB anymore. this happened way back before, but somehow it worked again.
I have 3 new different USB Data Cables. I tried all three of them to see if it was my MAIN USB Cable Data that was broken. It wasnt.
I tried connecting it to 2 other computers in my house and still no luck.
So when I was searching, people said that this problem can be from...
-hardware problem(broken) (but i dont think its broken cause my phone is still able to charge.)
-rom with bad download.
And there were some suggestions to what I should do...
-super wipe your phone and re-install a new rom
-take the micro sd put it in your computer format the SD card.
-take battery out for 30 seconds then put it back in.
-return to stock
-reinstall HTC drivers
however all those methods did not work at all.
The thing is my phone still charges on whatever USB or Computer I plug it into.
Also, this problem happened to me awhile back but somehow it was fixed..IDK how I did it.
Also sometimes, my computer detects it, but it says "something has malfunctioned).
my phone has never got in contact with any form of liquid. but what i think has touched my phone is heat or sweat from my pants.
Edit: also, I never dropped my phone before.
Is this a hardware problem? because as I said it before this happened to be awhile back but I was able to get USB detected to my computer again.
Can anyone give me more methods/information on how or what I should do to fix it?
Phone details
- Device: Inspire 4g
- Rom: Aospx BR7
- default Ril from the rom
- radio : in my signature
- phone about 1 and half years old
It seems you have already ruled out software and cable/computer issues. It is possible for a device to have intermittent failure. Sounds like a bad sd reader. Charger runs seperate from that.
Could also be the PC hardware. What PC OS are you using?

ummmm all I did was just blow on it(sounds wrong, LOL).
oh yeah and also, i always hear that sound when you connect any USB into the computer. that beeping noise. but only when I reboot my phone.
I could always transfer files by using the Micro SD Adapter, but thats too much work. taking my phone case out, taking out the bottom part, taking out usb, putting it in the adapater, then in the computer....-_-
update.
I kind of found a solution?? if i can take any step further...
So I changed my rom to a sense 4 rom(virtuous). I disabled Fast Boot from there. Now my computer detects my phone but it gives me the notification saying that my device cant be recognized.
U can use software data cable app its free .. and u can nove data between phone n pc wirelessly as long as you are in the same network ...

Hello.
My G3 is about 3-4 months old now. Since my purchase everything works like it should, except that it stopped connecting to computers properly. In the first few weeks it worked like a charm: Plug-in the cable, select the SD-connect thingy and the SD folder pops up on the computer screen. Same as most other phones working with SD cards. But since a few weeks it won't popup the SD folder. Also, it's unfindable in the 'Computer' directory; the place where all portable hard drives usually become visible.
Some facts:
There's nothing wrong with the SD card itself. Apart from the PC connectivity it works like a charm and is brand new.
I've tried to connect to 3 different computers with 3 different cables. All with the same result.
All 3 computers do recognize my phone. It's actually visible under Device Management in the Control Panel as a 'HID'. I've actually tried using the LG PC suite bull**** program which worked fine, but really slow and buggy (though irrelevant since it shouldn't be necessary in the first place).
Phone recognition sequence: 1. Computer starts to install driver thingies (or whatever it does, it's the same as always when you plug-in a USB for the first time). 2. Nothing.
As usual, the phone offers some options after plugin, when I scroll down the upper bar. When I press 'Charging..." nothing happens. When I press 'Charge Phone' this option menu pops up, which completely neutralizes my logics: This was never necessary to connect to my computer at all. I've also yet to understand these options and their functions fully. I believe it has something to do with the LG PC suite. I made screenshots, but this forum does not allow me to post those yet.
Nevertheless, I just want to go back to the original "plugin to pc --> select SD card --> browse and copy" way of transferring files... I've searched everywhere in the phone settings to solve my problem, but without succes, obviously.
Can anyone help me?
Cheers!!
Anyone?

Hello,
I did the software update to my phone last week. My charging port makes it difficult to hold a charge so I normally keep phone in PSM. I saw the option for UPSM and so I did it. Now my phone has VERY limited functions. I can't access any of my apps except for Messaging, Google and Settings. Settings is very limited.
Troubleshooting thus far:
1. Battery out and restarted
2. Samsung Support
3. Best Buy Support
4. Clear Cache
5. Safe Mode
6. USB isn't recognized
I know it is a long shot but I (yes I know I should have backed up the photos) but I have graduation, etc etc on there.
Thanks in advance
Can you borrow a fully charged battery from someone and then try to get the phone out of UPSM? Do you have an external battery charger?

I can charge the phone all the way to 100% and the first time I did that I took the battery out and restarted the phone. I was able to see EVERYTHING for 30 seconds. I even went straight to "battery" under settings and tried to turn off UPSM but it showed it wasn't on. Usually takes a few seconds to turn back on, so that didn't work.
I am just desperate to get those photos. When I plug in the USB, it says USB isn't available in UPSM.
Thank you for your help!

What do you mean your charging port makes it difficult to hold a charge?
Do you have an external sd card?
Are you still under warranty? If not there may be an easy solution.

I was told about a month ago that I should have the charging port replaced because it was the reason the phone took so long to charge.
I don't have an external SD card. Unfortunately, I am no longer under warranty.
Thanks for any help you can give.

Unfortunately, no I am not able to do so. When the phone is in UPSM you can't use the USB unless it is for charging!
