uhg. just put the phone in debuggin mode to prevent that stupid popup. then you need to mount the sdcard from the notification pulldown. this needs to be done either way but if it is like the captivate was you might not get the notification occasionally if that kies, mass storage, tethering screen pops up.
Some captivates, including both of the ones I had (still have one running firefly) have connection issues particularly with win7 64bit. I was hoping that samsung would correct that. With this one and the sgs2. Time will tell

I plug in the USB to phone & computer, but it does not ask me how I want to connect (drive, media sync, etc.). I downloaded HTC's Sync software, which should have put the drivers on my PC, but still nothing...
Has anyone had any luck and can share how to get my PC to recognize the phone?
thanks!

If I'm not mistaken, the default behavior is 'Charge Only'. At least that's what my settings show.
Settings > Connect to PC
What do your settings look like?
This is hopefully a simple setting change and not a bug!
Look in your notification bar. There should be a little usb icon thing there. If you click on it a menu should come up with usb options

Got it set as "disk drive" but still nothing. Tried different settings, too, to see if I could get it to connect somehow - nothing. Might try rebooting the pc and phone and see if that does anything.
Should debugging be on or off?

Nope...it doesn't pop up. Trying a reboot of both pc and phone to see if that works. Might try another pc too.

I am unfortunately at work right now and can't help debugging yet.
Have you tried changing USB ports? Also it would be better to have the USB plugged in to the back of your computer. The front ports usually don't work well.
I usually have USB Debugging set to on.
To be honest I haven't actually tried to connect my HTC One X yet to a computer so this is all speculation.
Thanks all. Reboot of both did the trick!

Have you tried another port? Maybe you said so and i missed it, but i would try that first. The other thing i would do is check device manager and see if anything is showing up with the little yellow exclamation point. I had that happen it was showing android device. I google search and downloaded just the Win 7 x64 drivers. Ill put it on my dropbox and share it so you can download and see if that helps.

Maybe it is the USB cable. Do you have another cable from a different device you can try?

Mine was a pain untill finished root. I'd make sure you have the proper HTC drivers installed. That helped me.
Stock USB connections suck.

I'm wondering the same thing ... I didn't notice this until now but on the new 4.0.4 Mass Storage as an option is gone.
I'm running JB ota and MTP is running fine. Actually it's running exceptionally!

Well, I don't like it. It doesn't show me real progress of what I'm copying, and it doesn't even refresh all the files, so last time I tried to check something on my xoom I saw only 3 folders of 20, and no amount of refreshing and reconnecting my xoom could fix that.
any updates?
Are there any updates in this?
I have lost all my pictures (8gb) while working with this silly MTP mode.
Went through unlocking and rooting my device (which was quite the challenge), tried to use some recovery apps without any success... The USB Mass Storage Watcher app from Skidmrk doesnt get me mass storage mode... (I'm not allowed to post a link to it.)
I just want to get it connected via mass storage, so that I can scan it with recuva!!!
You might need to download USB driver for Motorola Xoom from Motorola site. Just Google for it.

You just need to keep the screen Always ON an password unlocked and don't touch the tablet (since its ROM) while on USB on PC it should work fine.

Good to know for further reference... Only: How exactly do you keep the screen on without touching the phone? The max screen timeout setting I can see is 30 minutes...

The for this topic really informative
anyone figure out how to get usb mount for the s3 for Verizon. Im looking to purchase one within a day or 2 and just wanted to make sure if i hook my phone up to the comp. will it let me copy files over like things used to be?? Don't want to have to set up some type of server and do it that way just want to plug and go.... thanks for any feedback it will make my purchase that much easier......
it comes built in... its not called USB mount, its either MTP or PTP. I haven't really figured out the difference between the two yet, both seem to work just fine for browsing the files on the phone and ext card.
so plug and add files from my comp is a go then... good to hear,,,,

If you have windows plug and go as windows supports mtp natively. If you have a Mac computer there is a file from Google you download and install that gives the macs mtp access.

I find the PTP setting (i.e., appears and works like a USB thumbdrive) more convenient than MTP, which has a specific interface that not all Windows applications are able to handle in my experience. I use MTP for "synch" programs, such as MediaMonkey, which act like a more open and usable form of iTunes for our Android phones.

Someone else posted something similar to this in another thread and I got a bunch of flak for answering that Mtp works the same as mass storage mode. Apparently people running Linux cannot use this option, and it is different than mass storage or usb mode and I don't know why. Still have yet to get an answer in the other thread "how to enable mass storage mode". Maybe I can get one here?

Linux has been shown to have different results depending on using MTP or PTP. Windows doesn't seem to care except sometimes it gets picky and doesn't recognize the "hardware ID" of one version but does of the other.
If connected to a PC via USB and your phone is set to MTP, it's seriously as easy as drag and drop.
I am running the June 19 build of a CyanogenMod based on version 11-20140620-Sultan-skyrocket (Android 4.4.4).
I was working to reorganize my music library and finally dump iTunes. I am experimenting with a new Music Player that requires a USB synch using MTP.
The main reason for the switch from iTunes is that a lot of my Music is Lossless encoded and it just takes up too much room on my phone. I could not find an iTunes synching solution that would transcode those large files to a smaller format during the synch process (unless I go with an iPod / iPhone).
When I switch my phone to MTP mode, the PC (Windows 8.1) does not recognize it. If I switch to Mass Storage (UMS) the phone shows up in the file explorer.
Any suggestions on how to get the MTP working would be appreciated.
Thanks
Go to device manager and look for the the icon with an exclamation mark, with your phone hooked up to usb. Right click on it and update software. Then go to where it says let me pick from a list..... Choose android composite adb interface. It'll ask you if your sure, just say yes.

Sorry for the slow reply and Thanks for the post. Unfortunately Windows would not let me update the driver in error in the Device Manager. It said it was an unrecognized USB Device and would not browse for additional drivers. I tried every way I could think of to "force" it.
Just to help determine what might be going on, I restored the ATT / Samsung ICS using CWM. Unfortunately I am having similar issues with that. Sometimes the USB connects and sometimes it is unrecognized. I tested the cables and my Windows 8.1 PC with my Galaxy 5 (stock ATT KITKAT) and everything seems to work fine. I guess the micro USB port on my phone must be going bad.
Thanks again

Windows 8 can be a pita to get drivers installed
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
Hi,
I'm sure this is a simple one but I can't solve the problem!
I have a laptop at home with windows XP which, although it will see the phone as a hardware device, will not let me transfer data to/from it. When I select PTP it works fine but nothing happens with MTP. It works fine on the work laptop...
I've tried uninstalling the drivers, re-connecting phone so the drivers are automatically loaded again to no avail. Tried switching on USB debugging too (this seem to kick start the PTP option though). It may have happened when I was loading lollipop on my phone using my laptop, but I can't be sure. I put the SDK(?) folder on my desktop which I have now deleted, although this idea my be a red herring.
I'm sure this is easy, any ideas?
Cheers.
Check there's not an acer device shown as connected as a recent windows update screwed up the drivers

No its not showing Acer, its actually showing "Google Nexus ADB device"?!
With usb debugging both on and off?

Tried both and neither make a difference!
It'll be a driver issue, when it happens it's a pain in the ass. When you figure out the fix. You're like 'damn that was simple' always the way! Lol. Have you checked the driver issues thread?
