I used to have an application that I could turn on, and when connect to wi-fi it would act as if I had it connected via USB, eg I could access f: removable disk to put/remove files on/off my sd card without having to fumble around with plugging my usb cable in, cause only the back ports work and it's such a pain having to go in and out of my desk and such. I used to have it but cannot for the life of me remember the name.
help pls! <3
try MyPhoneExplorer, in my opinion a very useful app and its free on the market.
u also need to install the software on your pc, install from fjsoft.at/en/

try using one of the applications in the guide - Drive Mapping or "how the hell can i see my PC drives on my PDA?"
or in the guide - "storage card as a Removable Device instead of ActiveSyncing" or "USBtoPC"

this way you'll have access to your comp from your device.
When I got my Captivate and first plugged it in to my laptop, I was surprised when I was greeted with four options on the screen, Kies, Music Device, Media Device, and USB Tethering. Of course, I tried out USB tethering and it worked nicely.
It looks like the latest OTA update just removed that functionality. The option isn't presented when I connect to my laptop. I wonder if they removed it all together or just hide the option.
Of course, there are several other tethering options available, so it's not a great loss, but I thought people might like to know about it. I'm just glad the update didn't brick my phone! Now if I could only fix the problem with the phone turning itself off randomly when it sleeps. This update doesn't seemed to have helped with that problem at all.
Captivate PC Internet (Tethering) Option Gone?
Wow, thanks for the heads up, I kind of figure that may happen they give a little and take a lot. Did you have the dreaded GPS issue and if you did was it fixed? Have you checked to see if the PC Internet option was removed from Settings>Applications>USB Settings?
Thanks Roger
Yes, the OTA took off the usb tethering option in USB settings. GPS does not seem to have been fixed on my end at all. Been about a minute, and navigation is still trying to get a lock.

Why not use pre8?
From a phone on an app
What is pre8?
I just did the update and now I'm screwed. I'm at work with a bunch of homework to do and can't tether. How can I fix this before tomorrow night? I don't want to root my phone and can't use pdanet because my laptop doesn't have Bluetooth.
why not flash cognition ? That has mobileap in it...

Since I don't want to root my phone are my only options to either add Bluetooth to my laptop and pay for pdanet or add tethering to my plan?

Have you looked into the 1-click factory restore option?
i dont think that it requires root to work.
I just broke down and bought easy teather works great.

still having a little bit hassle on having a lock or fix location. always needs the help of network. GPS alone is kinda........urrrrggghhh!
If you are ok with a USB cable, I found a way to still use tethering over the USB cable after the OTA update. It is just not a straight forward as it was before. Here is how I got it to work on stock ROM, no root access.
Plug in USB cable and connect to PC. Select Mass Storage mode (when you have activated the Ask on connection in the USB Settings - Application menu under Settings). Fully connect you phone to the PC, by pulling down the Status bar and selecting the USB connect line and making the internal (and optional if you have installed external) Memory card visible on your PC. The on the PC disconnect the USB drives again (you have to disconnect first on the PC) and then end the USB Mass Storage mode by pulling again down the Status Bar on the phone and turn off the USB connection. Then when you unplug the USB cable and replug it and now select the Kies connection type, it will successfully connect to Samsung Kies. If you now have Samsung Kies on your PC installed (the UK version)you can select there the Tethering and start it and you can connect and your phone will do Tethering.
I tried it several times and every time it worked. This is not as elegant as it was before, but at least if you need an internet connection and your phone is the only way to get to it, you can still tether.
Hope this will help someone out there who needs a PC connection!

For anybody who is wondering this worked fine for me as well. I selected UK for my location and language. I'll post back up letting you know whether or not it works selecting USA. Once configured and installed, it takes roughly 60 seconds to be up...
thats excellent. i do have Kies installed. I'll give it a shot tonight.
Wifi lost while charging from computer
Can any confirm since the update, wifi connections are now lost while charging from computer via the usb port. Edge or 3g is available if you turn off wifi before connecting. With wifi on, disconnect the usb from the computer and wifi access is again available on the phone.
Running Easytether now. Doesn't require root and seems to work fine. Available on the market, if you pull your sim card. $10 for the full licensed version.
Samsung Kies is free software specifically for the galaxy s series and allows you to tether.
The link is below. being a new member they wont let me post an actual link.

Is there a way to re-enable the tethering option through the source code or rooting? Also if Froyo is OTA from AT&T, I would assume they would continue to keep this option hidden/removed. Am I right?

Yea, check the android development section. The Cognition ROM re-enables both USB and Wireless tether...
Tethering was not removed by the update. You don't need Kies installed, you don't need root, and you don't need any tricks. If you select the "Kies (firmware update)" mode, tethering works fine, assuming you've installed the USB drivers and created the necessary dial-up networking connection for the USB mode.
I upgraded to Sky-ICS RC7.4 Speed yesterday and today. Obviously the USB mass storage was working earlier because I got the .zip file for the upgrade on the phone. Well, just a little while ago I tried to connect so I could pull those zip files off just to save some room and it won't connect.
I can charge the phone, the laptop(Windows 7) and the phone both make sound/vibrate when connected. BUT, with I go to "Connect storage to PC" it tells me to unplug the cable, which it hasn't before but I did it anyway. I unplug the cable press the connect button again it states to connect the cable, I do. Press the button to connect and I get the same result. I've tried enable USB debugging and try again and it states to disable, blah blah blah.
It's great that I can charge the phone via USB all day long but really sucky that I can't access any of my files via my laptop.
Anyone had this issue or know of any fixes that may alleviate this issue? I sure would appreciate your help.
FYI, USB drivers are installed on the laptop and reapplied after the the issue of not being able to connect USB mass storage...
update: I am able to see the two mounts in computer management on my Windows 7 machine but not able to access them through My Computer.
I was reading from other threads about a possible Windows issue, how I find it unlikely, but I did a system restore from an earlier date and that made no difference. It's still a matter of the phone connecting completely to the pc.
Also tried different ports and usb cables, no avail.
I could really use some input so that if need be I can access the files on the phone to either flash back to stock or at least modify the files I have on there now to let me be able to attach my mass storage. I'm liking the the rom it's just a few little things like this that are making me completely love it.
i have the same issue if i plug in to the front usb ports. no problems with the back and its only been since i updated to seans latest speed stripped ICS rom
I was having the same issues. I turned the phone off, took the battery out, and then restarted it. It worked.

Correct; you need to reboot your phone because you probably connected / disconnected too fast and the phone is bugged out now.
I'm on 7.4 speed stripped and its working fine for me. Did you try installing the Samsung USB drivers exe in the dev forum?

Hello.
Short story: my phone was a little wet and i have some issues with it, mostly i want to get a mass storage to get working. (cant root)
Basically at first the phone didn't even want to charge, when i connected it to the PC windows was giving me an error that the device cannot be recognized, and couldn't install the drivers. (i had Kies installed)
I dried it completely, now the phone turns on without any problem, when i connect it to the pc the phone is recognizing connection (i hear sound + the button backlights are firing up for a sec)
Homever, windows is not detecting any USB device at all, and in about phone/info it says the phone is connected to the AC instead of USB.
When i connect it with USB there is no dropdown in notification to choose from charging, storage etc.
There is also manual usb storage mounting under settings/communication/usb settings , when i'm trying to mount here it just says to connect the phone with usb cable (not detecting connection, homever the backlight + sound is here after connecting, and it's charging)
I tried connecting it with usb debugging on/off even tried to fiddle with in service menu (*#7284#) but nothing.
And since i cannot get the usb storage working basically i cannot flash anything or root it.
Also the USB cable is not a Samsung but an HTC one, could this be a problem? (people in different thread said those cables are the same so it shouldnt be a problem, same amperage, same stick etc.)
Even tried to install MountUSB Widget from market, but it doesn't work when im trying to start the app it's force closing, when i make widget on desktop and press it the phone just vibrate for 1 sec and nothing happens.
When i connect phone with Kies AIR and it works, i mean it shows the storage information, also recognize the phone model correctly, how much free space i have on internal and on SD card but i cannot click "show in explorer" it's greyed out.
Any experts out there could help me? :crying:
Just a blind guess, try a USB cable which supports your device. If it doesn't help, I'm afraid it's a hardware problem and you will have to consult some hardware expert.
Hello People,
I am using Samsung galaxy si9003. I am trying to connect it to my LED TV via USB through 'USB Mass storage' option. it gets connected i.e. i am to see the contents in the memory card on my tv screen, but after 4 to 5 seconds it gets disconnected. i think there is some problem in the phone which is preventing the connection for a extended time period.
Could someone help please?
it seems to me that the function is not available for our i9003
only the i9000
enjoy google bro

No dude, this ideally should be a functionality of any phone with memory card (mass storage) provision.
1. i tried connecting my old nokia phone (express music) to my TV's USB port, by selecting the mass storage connection in the phone setting and it works. same way my friend's HTC phone also works with my TV.
2. when you select the USB mass storage, the phone memory card is treated just like any other pen drive storage.
3. even my i9003 gets connected in this way, but it get disconnected immediately after the connection is established.
there is some process in the phone that terminates the connection with the TV, dont know what it is....

Well.... Odd enough. When you say the phone turn into storage device, why I never experienced this problem on computer? Probably because lack of the USB Driver.

well the connection gets disconnected soon enough beccause of the conflict created between the internal and external storage of your device.. this is something you should know.... As LoLa said this is not possible for I9003 but still if you wanna try your luck then I suggest you to remove your SD card and then connect to TV and see what happens
