Why when I connect my phone to my comp it wont even connect it. But when its in charge mode connected to my comp it works??
It should connect on disk drive and show you the sd card. Download the drivers, rebbot, and it should work.
You can find the drivers in the sticky on how to get S-Off.

After I forced RC29, I can no longer access my sd card as usb storage device when my g1 is connected to my computer. The drive shows up but when I try to open it, it says "Please insert a disk".
Any ideas?

When you connect the device the G1 will have a notification. Open it and select Mount. This is part of the update.

I connected my phone to my computer using USB, selected "Mass Storage", 2 new removable drives appeared on my computer. However, neither drives connect to the internal 16G SD card. Both drives told me to insert the media when I double clicked on it. I tried this on a XP and a Win 7 machine with the same result. Am I doing something wrong or do I have a defected phone?
I have the exact same problem on XP and win7... I've tried everything I can think of including several different cables.
Anyone have any ideas what is going on?
Make sure you're choosing "Mount" on the Captivate after connecting the cable.
See here:
http://capfaq.com/w/Connectivity#Connecting_to_a_Windows_based_PC
This device NEEDS drivers, even for the Massive Storage device (At least it didn't work for me, Win7 x64 until I installed the drivers)
Try downloading KIES and try again, the x64 drivers you can fin around here didn't seem to work for me.
What rom are you running?

You only need driver if you're on XP. No drivers needed for Vista or Win7.
But you do have to MOUNT the drives on your phone. There are reasons why a MOUNT is required. But if you're too lazy, you can download an app from market to auto-mount for you.

Incorrect. I have lost track of how many XP machines I've hooked my Captivate to in Mass storage mode and not needed to install any drivers.
Oh my god you guys rock... I never had to mount the device before. I wonder why that changed recently?
Anyway, mounting the device worked.
Thanks!!
When I go to my SD settings, it is already mounted. I've unmounted, then mounted to no avail. I've downloaded and installed teh drivers from Samsung and everything says it is successful. If I try to run in USB debug mode I get the same result except 3 drivers install automatically than the 1 when I am in regular mode. Any ideas?

Make sure you are connected directly to the back of the computer, not thru a hub, or the front of the computer case. I've heard the voltages needed have very tight tolerances. Try a different cable as well

You are doing the wrong thing. SD settings and mount/unmount in there is for the SD card mounting to your phone, not PC.
To connect Mass Storage mode to PC, you need set your USB mode to Mass Storage, and turn off USB debug mode. Once connected to PC, you need to go to notification window and tap on the USB notification to mount your SD cards to PC.
I just found that before I checked your reply. Thanks for the help. I can actual access the storage on the phone now without some weird settings. Now if 2.2 would only come out for the Captivate. Thanks.

Does the phone show that its charging when you have the USB cord connected?
Do you get the prompt to put it into Disk Drive mode?

Does your phone boot into android? If it does, go to settings>SD & storage and select format SD card. You may need to hit Unmount SD card first.
or an adapter.

When I plug my usb cord into my Infuse and into my desktop, the desktop doesnt see the Infuse. I have the usb settings set to use the Infuse as a mass storage device, but nothing. If I put any other device or card in one of my slots, the computer instantly see's the device and reads it.. help

If you are running windows 7 and all else fails, open device manager and find the samsung or unknown device and try to uninstall all samsung drivers, be sure when the computer asks if you want to uninstall the files too to select "yes/ok". After doing that reboot the computer let it settle down til the hard drive lite indicator on computer does not blink.
After that securly plug the usb cable into the phone and into the computer
wait 15-30 seconds more or less and if you are running windows 7 and are connected to internet then windows will automatically install fresh drivers into your computer and most likely your problem will be solved..
If this solves the problem it means that your samsung drivers for some reason got corrupted.
Also just because your computer reconizes "other cards" that does not mean that it will reconize your samsung phone.. The samsung fone requires specific drivers to be install for it to reconize your phone.
For sdcards, flash drives, external hard drives windows only uses its generic usb drivers, thats why your computer reconizes the usb cards properly now even though it does not reconize your phone.
Good luck.

1.It is recommende to install kies so that your phone drivers are installed properly.
2.If it fails you can use kies air via wifi to connect
3.if the problem is not gone try restore factory settings
