So my mac wont recognize my devices internal or external memory card. Anyone else have any problems?
edit: started working for some reason.
Edit 2: I figured it out I had to install double twist and by default it enables auto mass storage mode with USB debugging enabled. You can not achieve this otherwise.
I have the same problem, and even have double twist installed. Still no luck, but I'm still looking. There have been several occurrences where Samsung devices of multiple types not communicating with OSX.
As the OP stated, I think you have to enable USB debugging as well. Did you do that?

goto settings, application, development, then usb debugging!
On the Captivate, prepare your phone by Settings > Applications > USB Settings > Ask On Connection. Also, Settings > Applications >> Development > USB Debugging needs to be turned on.
Then connect the USB cable to the Mac, and drag the notification bar on the phone. It'll say USB connected - choose that and then it'll ask to Mount. Once you mount the SD card(s), they'll be visible on Mac OS X (Snow Leopard).
At least, that's what I did. No need for doubletwist.

It was working before I rooted.
I am using PBJ Voodoo Overclock Kernel with 1.8.5 Gummycharged and the SD card fix, before I flashed the kernel/rom/fix the mass storage was working fine, I could drag and drop but now (even though it's set to USB Mass Storage) whenever I plug it in the only thing detected is 'CD Drive (E: )'. Can anyone help? I'd really like to start putting my Music/Videos on my Charge. Thanks in advance :]
Try either:
Enabling USB debugging mode (Settings --> Applications --> Development)
OR
Setting the USB mode to ask on connection

Debugging mode works as a temporary solution I guess, it causes alot of problems with my computer, it freezes it up and most of the time it can't finish the copy process, right now I'm just using my MicroSD USB reader, if that ever fails I could just put the SD card in my old phone which worked fine, thanks though
I am having the same issue. I got the phone yesterday and rooted last night and it won't connect either. It'll charge fine, but that's it. I am on my work PC so I cannot do much testing, but putting it in USB debugging mode at least made the PC recognize it.
I had to set it to ask on connection for it to work for me

I did a quick reboot and enabled the debug and it seems to work now thanks. Seems like the sd fixed works afterall. Thanks everyone.
I cannot get phone to connect in mass storage either every time it loads it brings up a scan drive screen with quick fix or continue without scanning. Then opens as CD Drive, I am completely lost and getting no feedback, have yet to try SD Fix or where to get it or how to get it.
Have you done everything I told you? After you do all that, go to setting, USB Settings then check "ask on connection."
Hi all,
I've a proud owner of this I8160 phone. I'm glad of it, but the problem is that I can't access to the SD external's contents.
Firstly, I can get the USB working on PC by enabling it on "Settings -> Wireless networks -> USB settings". However, external SD (empty folders "external_sd" and "usbStorage" make me guessing about it) is not accessible, and I don't know how to get it.
I figured that "MTP connected" note on the phone has to be involved, so I tried to disable it. Searching in the web points to that USB debugging must be enabled; however, this won't perform anything new.
Hence, my question is, do you know how to disable the MTP connection on this phone? I want only USB mass storage, no kies at all!
Any ideas? Rooting may help?

No need to root your phone if you just want to transfer files. I have the same issue as yours.
Here's what I did:
1. On your phone go to settings>wifi and networks>USB Utilities
2. Do not connect the cable to the pc yet, tap first the box on the phone saying connect to pc (something like that)
3. Then connect the cable from the phone to the pc, a green android will appear then
You can now transfer files from your pc to your phone, vice versa.:good:
So I can't connect my Droid RAZR to my windows 7 machine...
I have tried a lot of things!
I've tried:
*Different computers including Vista and Linux
*Different cables
*Different fastboot files
*Re-installing drivers
*Factory reset
*PIM sync from the market etc.
What happens when I plug my phone into my PC is the computer recognizes it, it makes a sound, then it says Unknown Device connected or some times it says USB malfunctioned and then on my lockscreen it says the phone is charging but it doesn't show on my battery icon.
Whats also interesting is if I got into Fastboot mode and connect to my computer it says USB connected and then I can use it in RSD with no problems.
I'm on ICS with no root.
Please help!

With the phone plugged in, have you tried opening up the lockscreen so you can get to your phone? Please take a screenshot of the device manager settings.
Computer Management -> Device Manager -> Find the device (double click on it) -> Details -> Hardware Ids
Or you can write out what the hardware ID is. Thanks.
YOu said you also tried it in linux. please post the output from lsusb for any unknown devices

I am also having a similar issue with the pc not recognizing the phone. I never had an issue with this problem. I have only rooted my phone with no custom room. I have always connected my phone to the pc and was giving a connection screen on my phone asking me if i want to connect as a mass media storage. A week ago this behavior stopped. I don't know what to do anymore. I don't remember doing anything to the phone to mess up the setting? I connected it to several computers using different micro usb data cables and nothing occurs.
The only thing happens is my phone receives a charge from the computer and thats it. Any ideas? Is there anyway i can reset the system or what not?

me also facing same problem and already i turned on USB Debugging mode but nothing happened. still i can't connect USB mass storage of my android device
Hey guys what you should try to do is use this :
after pluggin in your devices and removing their current driver in device manager(control panel>admin tools>computer management>device manager>
and then install this
http://adbdriver.com/upload/AdbDriverInstaller.exe
also make sure you adb debugging is enabled (if it's not visible(setttings>about/info>build number tap it multiple times) usually its settings>dev options>usb debugging.
also maybe try using this software as pc suite myphonexplorer
Can you guys go to the storage menu in settings, press the menu key, select USB connection mode (or something like that) and play around with the settings in there? Try that out.

Hey guys, for some time now no computer will display my photos thumbnails. Kind of annoying when trying to pick and choose which photos to pull off the phone.
Tried making sure thumbnail view is selected in windows.
Tried PTP and MPT mode.
Whats odd is the old photos will still display thumbnails but the new photos (last half or so) will not.
They display on the phone fine but through windows explorer no dice.
thanks
shameless bump..... nobody?

2. Settings > More > USB Utilities > Connect Storage to PC
If you're charging through USB it will tell you, "USB is connected. Remove the cable." So remove it and plug it back in again and then click the button which now says, "Turn on USB storage" then OK.
or Settings -> Wireless and network -> USB Utilities -> Connect storage to PC and connect it that way, then you'll get the icons.

Ive been through those first two links before posting, thanks tho
Im not quite understanding what your #2 option is saying. Are those settings on the phone or PC? Those sound like settings on a samsung phone with touchwiz not android itself. My only settings are MTP and PTP
this is something with the phone but its been doing it on my last two ROMs. half my pics do have thumbnails but the second later half do not.
Yes those steps should be done on your phone. I found it on other forums.
You could copy the folder on your PC then remove the unwanted pictures. No other ideas for Windows, sorry.
Me too. frustrating!
When I connect my Samsung tablet to my PC via USB I never get the dialog box where I can choose if the PC can have access to the filesystem on the tablet?
I can't access the tablet from my PC anymore.. Works fine if I connect my phone?

Hi,
This issue happens quite often with us and it can be solved easily. I have tried two methods which you can also give a try:
1. Go to Settings > About Device and tap on Build Number seven (7) times. This will enable Developer Options.
Then go to Settings > Developer Options and you will find USB Debugging, check that box.
2. You can even try this on your system, click the start menu, settings, devices. On the left click connected devices, remove MTP. Unplug phone and plug it back in. You will find this issue fixed.
Thanks
