Hello everyone!
I need some help/ideas DESPERATELY. I am running 2.2 on a Samsung Captivate, I just upgraded it from 2.1 today. I am also running it on Mac OS X, latest software upgrade version.
When I try to connect my Captivate to my Mac through Mass Storage option, it causes this 'massstoragecamera' to kick up in my Activity Monitor. In turn, this runs my CPU to 100% within 20 seconds of me connecting the Captivate to the Mac, causing my computer to freeze up completely and hang. I have tried to force quit/quit 'massstoragecamera' in Activity Monitor itself, but to no avail as even Activity Monitor freezes. When I try ejecting the phone through Finder, even Finder hangs! The only way to fix the problem is to force restart my Mac through holdign down the power button, the entire computer is useless once Captive is connected!
All I am really trying to do is to sync my music through DoubleTwist, this was NEVER a problem in 2.1 Any ideas? Please? I am SO disappointed as I have been looking forward to this update and I have no music player at all now!
Thanks for any help!
I'm having the exact same problem. I upgraded to Froyo a couple days ago and since I did, I cannot view anything whatsoever on my Mac. It's bugging out my Finder as well and the whole system hangs frequently.
Problem solved -- sorta:
Start up your Mac and make sure the Android is UNPLUGGED.
Open up Terminal
Plug in your SGS like normal
Once it mounts on the computer, type the following in Terminal: killall MassStorageCamera
After this the device should work like normal. I'm finally transferring my music back after formatting my drive in frustration, haha.
It's a temp solution but hopefully Samsung/Mac/someone will come up with a permanent solution soon.

I had been using Windows 7 for weeks withno issue (official beta, build 7000), then suddenly about a week ago I started having strange device issue. It started takin forever to go to sleep and when I got home and plugged in my usb hub or any usb devices directly in they would not be acknowledged at all. I think I have found the culprit. In the event viewer I am getting tons of errors from RapiMgr service not responding. Also, I cannot stop the service or terminate the process (WmdHost.exe) no matter how I try. I will restart and turn that service to manual startup now and see if I still get this problem. It doesnt happen all the time, but now that I think about it it may correspond with times where active sync wont connect for some reason (ie everything working fine but no active sync connection -> put it to sleep to go to class (takes forever) -> get home and plug in usb hub and nothing connects).
Anybody else have this issue? Was there a recent update to WMDC?
I'm also using the official Win7 beta, and I had a problem with WMDC when I first installed it. It wouldn't acknowledge that I plugged in my phone. I got really frustrated looking for a solution, and after a lot of cursing, investigating, and more cursing, I finally just uninstalled it and installed it again.
And if you can't uninstall it because you can't stop the process, try booting into safe-mode if you haven't already. If you don't know how to boot into safe-mode, hit F8 while booting Windows to have boot options come up, then select safe-mode. I haven't tried with Windows 7 as I haven't needed to, but in previous versions of Windows, I believe that was the key to press. Hope that solves the problem,
Dave

Thanks for the suggestions. There was no need to boot into safe mode as the process doesn't hang right after a reboot. It seemed to only start after running for a while. After rebooting I just uninstalled WMDC. I will see if the problem happens again but I am 90% sure WMDC is the problem. The question is just why would RapiMgr just start hanging all the time last week and continue to do so after a reformat? Perhaps the ROM that I am now running confuses activesync enough to cause it to freeze the process on my computer? I can't remember when exactly I started using this ROM. Hmmm. If I dont get the problem for a few days I think I will reinstall WMDC and then disable advanced network functionality in USB to PC on the device.
BTW, when I reformatted I decided to go to W7 build 7068. Not really any noticeable changes I dont think, but a nice new login screen background. MS did a very nice job with W7. So polished looking and a joy to use.
Hello people.
I recently reinstalled my Win7 and I wanted to connect it with my X1, but when I plugged the phone in for the first time, Windows started downloading some weird drivers (RNDIS?) instead just opening the device control panel thing. Now I'm pretty much stuck and can't connect my phone to my PC (I get the connection error sound every time), except for the disk mode.
I've serched for some answers here on xda as well as on the internet and all the fixes I found either don't work, are already applied or open up new problems for me.
Here's what I've tried already:
Rebooting PC countless times
Turning off the advanced network settings in usb to pc menu on X1,
Reinstalling WMDC countless times
Downloading some weird WMDC updates from microsoft download center
Configuring the registry (Enum key) - getting access denied error to everything I'm trying to do there
Opening the device manager in Windows - It's just blank.
About the software and ROM status, my X1 was just HR'd and I've installed just some basic stuff like the performance pack (Advanced Config + SKTools), MortScript and S2P.
I know that the problem here is rather related to PC, but I hope you guys still can help me, as I'm running out of ideas (and sanity).
Sorry for my english (not my native language), and please do help me if you can.
Same problem here.
So far I've been able to troubleshoot it a little.
First off RNDIS is the regular WinMo driver. So nothing weird there.
Secondly WMDC does work when you run the app as an administrator (on my end anyways). That is in no way a solution though... just a workaround.
I now need to pinpoint the part that needs the actual admin rights.
I'm going to keep on trying to find the answer and I hope more people will help.
Thanks for replying for my post.
Launching WMDC isn't the problem for me though. It starts up fine, it just doesn't connect with the phone.
Keeping fingers crossed for a solution, and thanks again.
I managed to get it started too now.
Again, as an administrator it runs all fine and dandy, but no sigar as a user.
So after I get it started no connection whatsoever. Still looking...
Got it!
Installed the drivers through SCCM at system deployment. Then WMDC installs perfectly.
It still wouldn't run though. And this was because of a policy which was enabled: WPD Device: deny read/write access
Enabling write access solved my problem.
hi henk!
I had the same problem.
I changed the policy, then win7 installed drivers for the xperia, it recognizes the phone, I'm able to navigate into the memory card...
But the wmdc don't see my xperia is connected, and if I try to transfer some music from win7 to my xperia, it's very slow(1b/s)!
Have you got any idea?
Had you the same slow speed?
I have HTC MOZART, NODO Build, unbranded in indonesia.
Now my question is, once every 2-3 weeks, I got his kind of error. Basically The internet connection is gone when this happens, and I cannot update anything, unless of course I connect to zune in my laptop and use usb for internet connection shared from the laptop.
The only way to fix this AFAIK is by restarting the device (or remove the battery, and put back in)... hold the on button until off and turn on again is suffice though....
I dont mind restarting the phone within that interval, it is just weird and I tried to google and looked it up everywhere, I have not got the right explanation. Restarting the phone WORKS every time btw.
Anybody knows what this error is?
UPDATE:
I see that many others experience this and still no answer

Hi
i hope you can help me, i found nothing myself.
I recently got my OTA Update 4.2.2 and now im experiencing some bugs. First one, not so annoying but visible all the time, when i group more Apps into a folder on my Homescreen, the folder gets a black background, when it was see-trough before.
The bigger problem lays with connecting my htc to a pc. At first the USB-Connection works without flaws. I can browse the folders, connect to the internet, but after a minute the connection breaks up and only reconnecting resolves the issue. Thats pretty annoying if i want to copy some files that need more time. My question would be, how or even if there is a log file for the usb connection, where i can search why it disconnects.
Thanks!
Alright guys, hoping someone can point me in the right direction here. Currently running stock 5.0 rooted plus Franco's kernal. Whenever I try to transfer large files off my phone (1.8-2GB+) via USB-MTP, the phone freezes. It gets to about 80% and the phone simply locks up. If the screen is on at the time, the display remains on but unresponsive. PC keeps waiting for the phone, doesn't seem to timeout. To make anything happen I have to disconnect the phone and reboot.
I've tried doing it in safemode, tried using ADB to transfer, same results. This is annoying the hell out of me. I've seen similar posts both on XDA and elsewhere, but never any resolution. Can anyone else think of an alternative? Should also mention that I'm getting failures when attempting to upload the files onto another PC via WiFi too (ES File Explorer) - phone doesn't freeze, the transfer just fails.
Update: OK, found a workaround. Booted into TWRP and was able to transfer the files via USB-MTP from there. So that rules out any hardware issues. Safemode would appear to rule out any app issues. So that leaves Franco or 5.0 stock as culprits. Any ideas?
