Disabling the USB Connection Prompt on Froyo

Morning all,
I installed Froyo over the weekend, and all is good. Only downsides are CoPilot being bust (which I presume they'll fix soon, I'll use the GoogleMaps navigation in the meantime), and the new USB mass storage connection prompt.
I use a USB cable connected to my PC @ work to charge my Nexus, but with Froyo as soon as I plug in, I now get this dumb full-screen prompt asking whether I want to mount the SD card as USB mass-storage. Which I don't want to. Ever.
Anyone know if there's any way to turn it off?

Have you tried disabling SD Card notifications?

I've had this problem since FRF50 and each iteration all the way to FRF91.
The option to turn off USB notification is nowhere to be found. I remember it was present before Froyo but it seems to have been removed.
Am I alone on the issue or does it happen to others as well?

It's here on my n1 Froyo too. Quite irritating

No way to do this? even with Cyanogen?

Hi,
I am running cm6 and don't have this problem. There are a few settings under settings > Applications > Development, but is that long since i used vanilla froyo i wouldn't remember what they where.
So i would recommend trying cm6 or one of the other roms available here. If you want something as close to original as possible may i recommend one of the modaco releases for it. As close to stock as you can get and if you use the kitchens, you can bake the rom exactly as you want.

[Q] G2x as a 360 memory stick?

I did a search, and I couldn't find anything on it.
But I wanted to use my G2x as a memory device for the xbox 360 (to move game saves and such). But when I plug in the phone and enable usb mode, it doesn't show up under "storage devices", where it should be if the xbox recognized it.
I already tried formatting the drive to fat32, and still no luck... Any help?

you need to install drivers to mount storage on a pc, so I'm guessing it won't work on a 360 for that reason

Try "mass storage only mode" under SD Card and Phone storage in settings!

Ah. That does make sense. :/
I did try the solution that the poster above mentioned, but it still didn't work. Looks like I'm off to walmart to go buy myself a sandisk usb.
If anyone else has a solution or any ideas, it's never too late to post them. Maybe someone else will try in the future.

Ah darn, I had heard that would mount the external SD card on a PC without any drivers, but haven't tried it myself yet. You are using an external SD card?

Its not just the drivers. I know for a fact My 360 would read my stock G1 and with the earliest cyanogen roms, posibly as well with my N1.
once the rumors started about the "zune phone" which became the windows 7 phone media sync broke and xbox wouldnt see any of the phones. long story short M$ blocked you so W7 phones have an advantage

My car has a USB port and I can plugin to it USB thumb drives and I could also plugin my old MyTouch 3G to it and I could play music off of them.
I cannot play music on my phone through the USB port. I assumed it was because of the drivers issue, which is REALLY unfortunate because that was great functionality...
Anyone know if these issues persist after rooting and loading a Cyanogen rom?

That isnt what this thread is about. this is about the ability for xbox to read android phones. it used to, but now it does not.
your issue could be one of a few things. anything from your specific rom to making sure mass storage mode is checked or mounting the USB when prompted. Im not sure how yours works as I prefer the AUX on my head unit

Apologies, I searched the forums and stumbled onto this, as I read through i thought it could be related and put in a reply.
I never get the prompt on my phone to mount it...which is what prompted me to search the forums. I'll keep looking

Help connecting Triumph to USB port in my car

I just got a 2010 Infiniti G37. It has a USB port, but no aux input and no Bluetooth audio streaming (wtf Infiniti?). It reads and plays iPods and iPhones just fine. I can not get it to recognize my android phone at all (Motorola triumph running stock 2.2 rooted). It will recognize flash drives though. I think the problem with the phone is it takes a few seconds to click 'connect USB storage' and then 'ok' before it reports itself as a mass storage device. By that time the car is already reporting an error. I have tried with debugging on and off... Makes no difference. So, is there any tweak, app, or hack I can do to force my phone into USB mode (without the prompts) every time I connect it?
This is actually a pretty important feature to me and I'm disappointed I can't get my phone and new car to play nice. Might even consider switching to an iPhone if there is no other option. Please help.
Thanks.

the MIUI rom im running has an option to auto mount when plugged in to a usb port. hope that helps

Phone not being reconized by computer when plugged in

I have been dealing with this problem for a while now and it is driving me absolutely insane. I have scoured the forums and spent over 3 hours trying to get this to work and it just simply won't work.
The problem: When my phone gets plugged into USB it doesn't get recognized I have the drivers, I used to plug my old 8gb S3 in all the time as I am an "app developer" I can even plug in my Dads 16gb and it get recognized. Now I have a 16gb S3 and it simply cannot get recognized. It's stock, I just received the 4.3 update from OTA and still no luck, which I was thinking that would fix it but it's a no go. All that happens when I plug it in is that it starts charging the battery but no drop down option no nothing.
I have tried factory resets, going into the hidden developer menu when you press the keypad codes and changed those options. I have tried pulling the battery, pulling the sim card, trying different SD cards and trying different USB cables.
Any new insight or help would be fantastic, thank you guys hopefully you can help get this working for me!

Try uninstalling android file host(the computer app,i think that's the name) and reinstalling. Also try airdroid to transfer files. And if you want to transfer music from your comp wirelessly, double twist has the airsync for their music app for$5. But I know your frustration. I broke my first s3 about 3 months ago and it was rooted. Had the same problem and couldn't unroot it and get it insured through my comp, had to use my friends

What do you mean the android file host? like on my phone or on my PC? Not too sure what that is. Also yeah the problem doesn't really affect music and all of that it's more so I want it to be able to be detected by Eclipse and I want to root and get some roms on this ***** lol I hate stock.

Anybody? Still struggling with this issue it is driving me literally crazy.

Ugh I'm dieing!

What ROM are you running? Do you possibly have a custom kernel installed with fast charge on?
edit: nevermind I just re-read your original post. Sounds like maybe it's a hardware issue. Do you have USB debugging checked in developer options? Try that out as well.

do u have usb debugging enabled under developer options ... is it in mtp or ptp mode ..if in ptp mode try mtp mode and if in mtp mode try unchecking all boxes ... try all usb ports .. still no luck?
try installing the wugfresh root toolkit.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766475 and then follow the driver setup guide .. make sure you uninstall all things associated with andriod via device manager and usbdeview and then after restart just plug in your device and allow to automatically install .. if that doesn't work try using the generic driver option .. should work .. lemme know

File transfer over USB?

I can't seem to get MTP working with the phone. Whatever cable I use, including the OEM cable, the phone just starts charging. USB settings in Settings -> Connected devices are greyed out. On every other phone I ever used, when connected via USB, a notification shows up asking what to do with the connection (charge, MTP, PTP, etc.), said notification is not here. Anyone else having the same issue?
Edit: googled around, might be an Android issue. Nice. I guess I'll have to use the 3.5mm jack to listen to music in my car now, great.

And a few more. The only solution apparently *maybe* is to buy a 3rd party cable.
Edit: after writing this post I decided to try again and lo and behold... It works now. For reasons of I don't friggin know. All cables that didn't work before now work just fine for charging and data transfer between my PC and the phone. Unfortunately my car HU keeps disconnecting and reconnecting the USB, which is a bummer because that's the reason I actually care about file transfer.

I am using Android Pie on my Mi A1 from Christmas 2018 and I never had a problem with MTP, it worked fine with all monthly security updates.

Works as expected here for me at least, with the prompt and everything.

Just tried it out for myself on my work laptop. Connected via a 3rd party micro-USB cable with micro-USB-to-USB-C adapter (so one of the more "fragile" ways to connect) and it directly popped up the question of whether to allow file transfers. After that, the phone was normally browsable on the computer and the USB connection notification that allows for mode-switching is present.

So one can conclude that problem is in your phone, FR will cure it probably.

Perhaps actually more with the unit in the car.. From my understanding the buggy file-transfer is between the phone and the car's unit?
