Ok so I'm currently running super rooter with JH3 and for some reason if I connect my phone to my PC at work it sees the storage as a disk just fine. HOWEVER when I connect it to my Mac, for some reason my Mac doesn't see it... I know it's connected because my phone starts charging and asks if I want to mount the disk... when I choose yes, nothing happens, it doesn't show up on my Mac... Any ideas why the PC would show it but the Mac doesn't?
Now I'm noticing whenI put in an external SD card it says "cannot mount external SD card, Mount Point absent or incorrect... Hmm... where do I even begin with this?
I could really use some help with this if anyone knows anything at all or know how to even troubleshoot this... I'm dead in the water right now.
I was recently staying with some mates and tried connecting my HTC Legend to their laptop to transfer files, but the Legend did not recognize it was connected to a computer, just had the charging icon as if the cord was plugged into power.
I have the 'Default connection type' as Disk Drive, 'Ask me' each time option enabled.
On the computer, no autoplay or anything happens like it used to. I can see a removable disk drive, but it has the "Please insert a disk into drive X" error when I try open it.
I can access the SD card and everything fine through the phone..
Anyone know what's up?
Cheers
EDIT: Stock unrooted Legend
EDIT: Nevermind, rebooted phone and it works now.. sorry
This exact same thing started happening to me last night as well. I can see the drives in "My Computer", but they are greyed out and give me the "Insert drive to continue" error message. What gives?
usb
howzit guys
have you'l tried switching the phone off and then on again?
i've had this happen few times
its normally some app causing it not to popup or to be very slow in popping up
wait awhile.if still nothing then try switch off and then on and then connect the usb to the pc
Ok the first time I can connect fine.. but after once the USB is unplugged, I can't load it as diskdrive anymore. It won't show up on my PC. The only way I can fix this is to restart my phone.
does anyone else has this problem? quite annoying to have to restart my phone everytime I want to put files in the phone. and I always make sure sure to click "Eject Android Phone", but it made no difference.
i have used connected my device many time to my pc & never came across this issue...& dont chose any option to eject i just unplug the device
if you were running something when connecting to your pc try exiting everything & you should get the interface to choose usb connection mode
on the phone the options always pop up, i can click "mount as harddisk", but on the pc there is no reaction and I can't see the drive.
so the drive pops up for you everytime you plug in the USB? weird.. it might be my windows 7 then.. hmm
Actually it may be your comp, I had this same issue earlier when i was trying to connect my phone, I just changed usb ports and it pops up fine, so perhaps you could try that????
So the problem I'm having with my infuse is that the disk drives (E:/F are not showing up in Windows Explorer. I've done some trial and error to diagnose the problem but I'm currently at a loss. Here's what I know:
The cable is fine, I just purchased to new cable to make sure that it wasn't the problem after I thought that the original cable was the issue.
The phone works perfectly fine on linux, I'm able to mount the two devices (/dev/sdb, /dev/sdc) without problems and transfer files without any delay or trouble.
In windows the computer recognizes when the phone is plugged in and if you go into "Printers and Devices" you can see the "Samsung_Android" device. If you right click on it before you turn on USB storage on the device the context menu pops up and you can go into properties and see that all the functions are recognized for the phone, (two disk drives (it recognizes them as E and F), modem, two mtp devices, etc.)
Once you enable USB mass storage on the phone you can no longer right click on the device and see properties, if you do it takes a minute or two for the menu to pop up and clicking anything in the menu makes the lag unuseable.
Sometimes drive E: will show up in Explorer but not F: and when I click on it it still just stalls in loading the drive.
If I go into command line and type "e:" on windows to cd to that drive it also just stalls out rather than saying that the drive has not been found.
If I go into the disk manager to see if maybe it's just a drive name conflict in the management console it doesn't load because the manager just stalls out at "Connecting to Virtual Disk Manager Service"
I was originally having this problem on stock rooted FROYO, I was able to use Kies (through the same windows machine) and upgrade to stock GB but on GB I was still having the problem. Then I switched over to the stock rooted GB rom and I'm also still having the problem.
I'm pretty convinced the problem has to do with windows not my phone because I seem to have isolated it to just this windows install (I haven't had the opportunity to try on another windows machine but I figure it will probably work fine there) since it can't be due to the cable or a faulty Froyo/GB install.
Do you have any ideas on how I can fix this? I'll gladly provide anymore information regarding my problem if you think it will help.
Windows....sux dont it...
I would uninstall all phone drives....download new set...reinstall....and see what happens.
And like you said....i would try another windows pc....
Hi all. I have a unique problem here... not sure if it's a software of hardware issuse. Maybe you can help me out.
My phone can read all storage space while I am in the operating system. Internal storage reports as 2.34GB, SD card (also internal) reports as 9.92GB. I have no problems copying, reading, and deleting files using "es explorer" or transfering files via various wifi file tansfer programs back and forth with my desktop.
The problem lies with the fact that I cannot use the USB port at all except to charge. Even in HBOOT the computer doesn't read it! For example, if I connect the phone to the computer while it is in HBOOT and select FASTBOOT, I do not see "FASTBOOT USB", it just remains as FASTBOOT. ADB from my computer cannot detect the phone either. I have tried all my USB ports, installed HTC USB drivers, Android SDK (and associated USB driver package), tried a different computer, tried 4 different USB cables, but none of this works.
What is strange is that yesterday the phone suddenly worked via USB! I was amazed that after 2 months of it not working it just randomly started again, but figured I did something random to make it work. Then I unplugged it and then re-plugged it and now it doesn't work again... Absolutely awkward, I hope someone can help me at least identify what the problem is!
I'm currently using the latest Cyanogen 10.1 mod (March 12th), have it unlocked, and am using CWM 5.3.6. I would really appreciate any insight or help, thanks so much in advance.
OMG now it's working again. A constant factor seems to be the use of "AirDroid"... Whenever it is open and transfering the SDCard becomes recognizable and the computer can connect... Very awkward... any ideas as to the issue?
I'm scared to touch anything on it. It's transferring some music via USB.
Now I unplugged it from my computer and the re-plugged it back in and it no longer recognizes my SDCard at all... What is going on? It seems like a software issue but what could it be?
Well now it works. I plugged it in and nothing happened so I walked away. When I came back it was asking to turn on USB mode! I wasn't using any wireless wifi transfer programs, it was just in regular home screen mode and that's all... it just decided to work... huh. This appears to be random but it can't be... there must be some reason.
Well it's still working, but I haven`t unplugged it yet. The phone rebooted itself mid-transfer for some reason, but it still can be used as a USB drive. It seems that after I had begun using the internal SDCard to store stuff on (first via wifi transfer) it has become more "recognizable" through the USB connection... Could there be something wrong with the internal SDCard itself and not the USB connection? Can I reformat it to start with a clean slate?
Like right now my card is using 90% of it's storage... and it's been more recognizable now than ever before... I used to keep it at about 10-15% usage...
Okay, now after I have transferred a bunch of songs and movies to the SDCard, I rebooted the device with the USB cable still in and now it isn't recognized at all. I changed absolutely nothing; the phone was in USB mode being able to transfer files back and forth, then I rebooted and all of a sudden the USB mode doesn't work again... Not even recognized... no ADB recognition... no Windows recognition... nothing. So strange! What could be the problem?
Well it looks like it was my actual computer. I am connecting flawlessy in USB mode to the phone with my Dads computer. I guess I have to get a new motherboard as Ive always suspected mine was on its way out.
SOLVED
Looks like the issue has been solved. After having tried many different computers, it seems as if certain computers have success with reading and recognizing the HTC than others. For example,
My personal computer: Works rarely
My Dads: Works flawlessly everytime.
My Garndmas: Works intermittently (better than my personal one)
My Moms: Works flawlessly
Now I just wonder why some USB ports work and others dont! Any ideas?
