As of late, every time that I connect my phone via USB, I loose my play lists, and have to restore from a backup in order to get it back. Has anyone has this happen?
Also, since Sons Of Android doesn't seem to be getting an update anytime soon, can someone recommend a ROM?
Thanks
you might have USB debugging enabled and your playlist is probably saved on your external there for your playlist wipes for the moment but should always come back after disconnect of the USB am i wrong here just let me know bro ? and also i been running beanstalk coming from slimbean and i got to say both of these ROMs have got me set 1day battery life on either of them everything works for me might differ for others
I guess I should be more specific........I can connect to USB, and everything is fine IE charging, if I transfer files, that is when this happens.
Yes USB debugging is one, but the playlist never comes back, even after a reboot.
can you refresh the player you are using like if you was to be re-scanning media but this is just refreshing the playlist ....when you disconnect it from the PC hit refresh on music player if that does not work try and do your transferring without debugging see if you have the same results im out of ideas bro sorry

I have an ATT Tilt 2, and I've gone through roms like candy, and I still use the original USB cord that it had came with phone.
So I just bought a new computer a week ago, and ever since I can't seem to sync my phone up to my computer via usb cord (Bluetooth works fine). Now normally there's the steps to find the drivers, make sure active sync is enabled, make sure that small checkbox is checked or not. Data connection is enabled/disabled. Prompt when its connected to the comp, etcetc.
The problem is, the phone doesn't recognize that it's plugged into the computer, and just treats it as a power source. I've done some reading, and found there's a program that lets you trick it into thinking USB ports are power sources (fast charge or whatever) but I haven't downloaded nor install it.
Currently I'm running an EnergyRom rom, and I can't update it or change it.
I used to upgrade the rom every time NRG came out with an update, so I'm baffled to why all of a sudden it won't work.
Edit: I've tried connecting it to several computers, does the same thing. It won't realize it's connected to a computer.
Usually, if I pop out the battery, hit the power button a few times, then start it back, up... it will go back to working. The only times I ever seem to have this problem you are describing though is when I switch from active sync to "usb" (where it only looks at the storage card) and then when I switch back to active sync next time I plug it into a PC, it will not connect.
you should try to reinstall the activesync if you use xp.. hope itd help..
regards..

I have searched all over and I am not having any luck, so I am hoping that someone here can help.
At the beginning of Oct. I rooted my incredible using unrEVOked and the Stock HTC Rom. Everything was working fine at the beginning until a few days ago when I went to go plug my phone into the USB port on my car stereo, this is where it gets weird. First the stereo was not able to recognize the device, which it was able to before, and it doesn't even attempt to look for anything, almost like I didn't plug in anything at all and the Battery light keeps flashing on and off. Thinking it might be an issue with the stereo, I try it with my wife's DX with the same USB cable and it works fine. So it is not a problem with the stereo or cable. If I leave everything plugged in to the stereo and reboot there is a few seconds that the stereo is reading the phone, but as the phone gets closer to finishing the reboot the stereo stops recognizing the phone.
In my attempt to figure it out, I first did 5 different restore backups neither one worked. I unrooted and did a factory data reset and that doesn't work. In my frustration I rerooted using unrEVOked again and this time I flashed virtious ROM and Kernel, this didn't fix the problem. So I tried a different ROM and Kernel this time using Redemptive rEVOlution 1.8 along with the Hydra Kernel and again no luck.
The strange thing is when I plug my phone into the PC, both internal and sd card drives are seen and I can access the files just fine. It is only when I go to plug it in to the USB port in the car is when it is not finding anything. My car stereo is not picky when it comes to internal or external phone storage and I have put music on both drives and it does not read either one. It is almost like a file or program got erased and nothing I have done is able to fix it.
Anybody have any ideas that might help?
Have you tried copying all the files on your sd to your pc then formating the sd card fat32 from windows and then copying all your files back to the sd. This same thing happened to me once drove me nuts couldn't figure it out then I had to format my card for something else I was doing and after that it started working fine again.
Also this may sound obvious but you do have the default pc connection type set to disk drive right?
Speculating here, but ~
Is USB debugging checked?
Maybe toggle that - Unknown Sources toggle as well.
Settings>Applications>Unknown Sources
Settings>Applications>Development>USB Debugging
Maybe toggle mock locations as well - found in location w/ USB Debugging.
I have the same problem with my Vibrant. I have an Alpine IXA-W404. When I plug in my phone via usb, it shows "searching" then "not supported" but on my head units screen it starts to show some random music files on my phone, but won't play them. I tried plugging in using two different wires, and tried with debugging on and off.
Any help? I even saw a video where the guy was doing it online with a similar setup, using a Droid and some other similar Alpine deck.
Thanks!
-edit-
when i select "media player" from the usb settings on the phone, after about 20 seconds, the head unit starts to play a few songs but its very choppy. Any help is appreciated!

This fixed my problem before when I had issues like the OP is having.
Longshot here, but this happened to me w/ my vehicle when I put a ton of mp3's on a thumb drive, and not a specific folder on the USB....
Is the vehicle trying to index the contents of SD card or other device drive and cannot?
Is the music or other content on the device in a specific folder, or spread out amongst directories/folders?
Have you tried copying say the mp3's (whatever content) onto a flash drive, and whether the car 'sees' them?
Speculation: the vehicle is trying to catalog/index the files/content ~
As such, there are either too many for the vehicle to index, and/or desired content to be read by vehicle need to be consolidated into folder(s) the vehicle can see, read, and index.
Imagine the brain in the vehicle can only index so much content.
still was not able to get it going with all of the above, i downloaded "auto mount sd card" from the market after hearing that it helps but still to no avail.
any more suggestions? this is something i'd really like to use my phone for!
Maybe let us know the device that you're connecting it to.
Oh yeah, also some after-market USB cords will only charge and not send any data- so make sure that isn't your problem either.
Could this have something to do with the usb apk? I've used a lot of different roms and some would work and some would not. I'm currently using a Sense 3.0 , Nils Business 3.0 and it doesn't mount to my car stereo.
I just restored an old backup of a rom Warm-Z and the mount worked, no problem. I then went back to my current sense 3.0 and it doesn't.
when the screen of my GNexus is locked, all working apps "freeze".
for example, when i copy something with my file sharing app called WebSharing from PC to GNexus, there always appears some errors or other connection issues..
and it's not only about WebSharing, many apps act like that
why this happen and how to fix it? i know i can choose in settings to not let device go in lockscreen mode when plugged with usb cable but i don't wanna use cables all the time when i want to transfer files. if i wanted use cables i wouldn't use such apps to transfer files via wifi.
i hadn't such a problem on my sgs2, don't get why it happens on nexus...
p.s. well, thank god i can still listen music in lockscreen
I noticed the same thing using Foldersync. It won't upload files to the web unless the device is "on". Perhaps it's a limitation of ICS or just a bug.
The Android File Transfer program on my mac keeps crashing. When i connect my galaxy nexus to my comp, the AFT program prompts, however the spinning wheel never stops spinning. i rebooted my computer and i re-installed Android File Transfer, but i cant figure out what seems to be the problem. I am running on 4.0.4, it worked fine when i was on 4.0.2. Does it relate to the new update? any suggestions? im trying to transfer files, and i prefer to do it this instead of via bluetooth, or via wifi using severs.
Mine is really picky as well. If I try to transfer large folders I often get the raindow wheel and have to force quit too. I've also found that instead of transferring large folders, its easier to create the folder on the phone and simply transfer the contents of the folder from your comp to your phone. I also always just unplug/replug the USB end.
Set your Gnex screen to stay on while it's charging. That seemed to help me.
Yeah this happens to us all I think. AFT is downright terrible.. I use AirDroid now to transfer files. It's slower than USB transferring, but its keeps me from raging over how bad AFT is /heh
But AirDroid is simple and effective, I definitely recommend trying that out.
Mine works fine. Works best if you unlock the phone then connect it. Let it open AFT and do your thing.
What version are you guys running? The current version is Version 1.0 (1.0.16.6656) and it seems to work perfectly on my MBP.
The older builds were completely useless.
It happened to me, I removed the program and reinstalled and now it is working well.
Just installed this on MBP with Lion and it's working fine. Just have to set the transfer to MTP (it was in camera mode).
Ya it does seem that it works now.
Latest version works pretty good. Not a big fan of the gui interface. Wish it looked a little better. Agree making folder on phone makes things a little easier.
I haven't used anything other than adb push or pull since android 1.6
Hey Im a bit late to the party but maybe this will work for those of you having trouble..
Im on the Samsung Galaxy S2 (running the CM9 nighties) and haven't been able to get it to mount on my Mac Pro ever since going to CM9.
None of the options (MTP, USB Mass Storage, etc) worked for me at all.
I was going to download the Mac File Transfer app again (since I initially downloaded it on my phone and now have no way to get it onto my Mac) but the website was down this morning so I ran off to Google instead.
I ran across a post regarding the Galaxy Note over at androidforums.com where someone said to turn off USB debugging, and then it works. The instant I turned off debugging, the good old Android USB Mass Storage screen came up when I plugged in the USB cable, I clicked the 'Turn On' button at the bottom and it mounted both my internal and external SD cards just like it used to when I was running the stock ATT 2.3.4 rom.
Try that and see if it works for ya!
Sounds simple enough, I will definitely try it when I get home from work!
It works! Awesome tip Slavestate!
Hi, my poor Gio is stuck constantly rebooting every time I enable USB Mass Storage. Debugging is enabled. I didn't have this problem before switching to CyangoGenMod 7.2, and come to think of it, I don't recall having this problem until recently.
This problem occurs on Windows 7 Home Premium (regular USB drivers, no KIES) and Ubuntu Linux 12.04 Precise Pangolin, both 32-bit.
I really wanted to add some files, mostly music and videos, to my device quickly, but as DoubleTwist (my main media app, I love the UI) doesn't develop software for Linux, I am forced to use USB, rather than Airsync. The fact that I can't seem to use USB without my phone rebooting doesn't help much.
Anybody have a suggestion? I'll try disabling debugging, or maybe downloading the Android Debug Bridge? I can't try it tonight, but that doesn't make any sense. Why would either of those be a factor in just simply connecting Mass Storage?
EDIT: I disabled USB Debugging, and, though it took a while for the USB storage Android to say that it was in use, it finally worked, without rebooting. Now to see if it'll work again, or if an app on the SD card was causing the problem. The thing is, I have zero free space on the, what, < 200 MB Gio users have? So, if it is indeed an app (or even my Crystal theme), that'll suck.
Stay tuned for future edits!
did u figure it out?.... i have the same problem in my Sony Ericsson X8... with custom ROM Ginger elite v2... 2.3.7 .....
it reboots after trying to connect usb mass storage when usb debugging is not enabled... after trying for some time, it reboots
& when debugging is enabled, the entire phone hangs .....!!
if u figured something out.... kindly let me know...
I can't remember if I figured it out, I know I must have but this was a long time ago, and I can no longer connect to USB anyway due to water damage. I should be getting a Windows Phone 8 relatively soon anyway so it's not worth fixing.

ok so i had the same prob and this is what i did..
> disable debug
>connected phone to usb - mass storage
>rebooted
>again chose mass storage
>worked!!
Glad to hear it. I did end up getting a new phone, but it wasn't WP8 - and because Samsung has some bakas on their development teams, it's actually worse for the storage situation. I also don't like how there is no longer USB Mass Storage; rather, you're stuck with either MTP or whatever cameras usually use. Both seem to be slower than a regular connection, Windows tells you that your device may not be able to open the pictures in your music folders, and the MTP app locks your phone down until it's finished syncing.
I almost miss my Gio.
Almost.

Help
I cannot enter Mass storage mode. It is getting rebooted and also takes away the wallpaper I've set.
My phone is rooted Micromax canvas 4 A210 with custom rom (lollipop themed). This problem started recently. I can recall I installed ADB and so may be conflict with the drivers etc. I've uninstalled the Google USB drivers which installs with ADB but still no help. I checked turning on and off USB Debugging, no help. I also tried changing the USB port, no help.
Further I use Link2SD app and after a clean install of custom rom, I checked options like 'Auto link' and 'External card' as default install location. Would there be some apps which should not be moved to External card? If yes, then what they are ?
