Certain icons disappear when usb storage device is selected. They seem to be the ones that are installed on my external micro sdcard. When I pull the usb cable out they sometimes comeback but not where I put them.
Any ideas?
Forget the question! Seems to be an Android feature. I never knew that one.

Hopefully someone can help... When I plug my Evo into my (off brand) car charger, it makes the SD Card unavailable (like it was plugged into a PC). At first, I thought it might be the charger, but my wife's EVO works fine. Any ideas???
Here are the things I have tried...
- Restarted the phone
- Moved all apps back from SD card to phone memory
- Disabled USB debugging
- Restarted phone again
Update...
When I unmount my SD card, plug in the charger, and then re-mount the card, it works. Pain in the rump though... and in case anyone was wondering, no my phone is not rooted or modified in any way. My wife's EVO works fine with the same charger.
Anyone have any ideas??? I would really like to be able to access my music while the charger is plugged in without having to unmount/re-mount.
Go into settings and change the default USB Connection action from USB Mass Storage to Charging. You must've changed that a while ago and forgotten about it.
Are you using DoubleTwist? It has a feature that automatically mounts the SD card to be used from a PC over the USB cable. For some reason it thinks a car charger is a PC.
This probably holds true for other programs that can auto mount SD to USB.

Already thought of that... That wasn't it. Thanks for the help though.

DoubleTwist was it! I went into the settings and disabled that option. Thank you! This is why I love forums!
THANK YOU!
The same issue was driving me nuts.
DoubleTwist is great; but the xda forum is even better ...
Hi all,
I just got my Defy, and trying to plug the usb with my imac, however every time I plugged in, Mac said cant detect my device.
It also crashed my LauncherPro menu too .... I need to reboot to fix that..
any ideas about that ? Thank you
Have you tried w/o Launcher Pro?
I think I might be about to make my very first *useful* contribution here on XDA.
I too had the same problem connecting the Defy to my Macbook Pro. The dialogue box said something like "Disk Insertion - The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer" Whaaat? Not even as a removable device?
I remembered with the Samsung Galaxy that in the settings there were a certain number of 'modes' you could set the phone into before connecting to a computer. So I went about my investigation with the Defy.
I have only JUST found this out myself:
Plug the device into your computer ignore the dialogue box that appears.
On the phone navigate to the top status bar, on the opposite side of the battery and time icons there should be a USB icon. If so, touch the bar and swipe down.
Here under 'Ongoing' should be USB connection. Select to manage & there you have some options. Memory card access is what I believe you want.
After your selection the external memory card should appear instantly on your desktop as a removable device. Also I have found the Defy remembers this selection for next time, so when you plug the USB in again, you shouldn't have to mess about with any settings.
Hope this was what you were looking for and I hope this was of help to someone at least!
Small Issue, Connected my Nexus to the pc as normal, to copy across some pictures.
All was fine, next thing it stops copying so i have a quick look at "computer" shows my Nexus Internal Storage and stating that is full... also showing that it has 2.6TB of space!!! checks on the phone and all my internal storage is empty.....
Disconnected rebooted and it will show up on the PC as normal.. all pictures there ect, but not on my phone.
Possibly faulty USB port has shorted it.
Reminder: Nand Back ups... luckily I have one.. so Fingers cross!
Hello!
I have an annoying problem. When I'm copying large files to external sd card, the phone turns itself off in the middle of the process. (the phone is connected with USB cable to the PC, battery is almost full.
I bought today a new card, 32GB ultra and it happened again.
Somebody have or had this problem?
How to solve it?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks!
p.s
I'm on omega 7.1 and red pill 0.7
Your sure it's not a problem with the usb cable or the connection port on the pc
Hit THANKS you ungrateful bastard...plz
no. Tried another cable and usb port.
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?
