When I try to use HTC sync to sync files, it displays this message after I press the sync now button. Is my sensation defective??
PS... I've tried messing around with USB debugging unfortunately it does nothing..
I get this too, I think it's because the phone has to place the storage under control of the windows app for it to be able to sync files etc (yet it doesn't become available as a windows drive). It's one of the very few things I preferred about winmo on my HD2).
I don't understand why HTC would create this piece of crap software that we can't even use... I just tested on both of my computers (one running windows vista 32bit the other windows 7 64bit). On my windows 7 comp it displays the error after u press sync now. Vista comp it syncs nothing after pressing sync now.
What are you trying to sync? If it's files, just mount as a disk drive. If it's contacts/calendars I suggest using MyPhoneExplorer. Free app that can sync over USB/wifi/bluetooth. It syncs much better than HTC Sync does. Only think I've found wrong is it doesn't support the syncing of anniversaries.

I found this problem too but when i switched off Blue Tooth it started to work correctly . . . .
I was having this same issue and here's what I did to fix it.
When you get the error:
Look in the system tray for the eject safely icon. Mine always showed it had mounted the sdcard from some reason. Safely eject the sdcard.
On the phone where it says change connection type make sure it's HTC Sync and click the "Don't ask again" box. This is important because if yours defaults to Disk Drive, Windows will mount your sdcard and HTC Sync will continue to fail.
Press "DISCONNECT" on HTC Sync
unplug usb cable.
Right click on the HTC Sync icon in the system tray and choose "Exit."
I always wait 30 sec just in case to let a program shut down completely.
Start HTC Sync from the Start Menu.
Plug in the phone.
Now it should work.
It did it again after I added bookmarks to be synchronized and repeating this worked.
Hope that helps
(Mine is an HTC Evo 3D but it should be the same for any HTC device.)
I use SwitchPro Widget to unmount/mount my SD card. Maybe it will help you as a workaround?
Thank It Worked

Thanks a lot. I was just about to call T-mobile and complain about getting a defective phone. Its been a couple days of sitting in front of my computer and wondering wtf is going on. I have a Samsung Sensation and after doing what you said it started working. Thanks.
Are you using a kernal that is known to have PC connection issues?
my htc sync version was 3.0.5517 (no problem) but when i updated to 3.0.5557, the error (fail to mount/unmount device storage card) came out

Same problem here since latest update. Htc Sync starts syncing procedure but if fails as it reaches Gallery/Music with the "Fail to mount/unmount device storage card" message. After that, sdcard mounts itself as external drive with classic win7 autoplay window.
No success even downgrading to previous versions. Is this Htc Sync or Htc Driver related?!

I've experience before my external card is not mounted frequently...
Everytime i open the cover and manually reset the card it shows card available and within few seconds it went to no card found....
It was not happen before until i done some flashing of kernels and after i re-flash again and rebooted its fine until now......not sure this is the cause.

I have this problem on my Sensation and none of the above fixes work. However I also have the same problem on a Desire S which has just been updated to Android 2.3.5 and Sense 3.
I just solved this problem I had. Formatted my SD card and everything is back to normal.

Wondering if someone might be able to help me out. When i switch ROMs i loose the ability to choose the connection type i want when i plug into a USB (ie. charge, disc, sync, etc.). My phone starts charging right away, but i don't have the option to choose.
USB debugging is checked, Ask Me in Connect to PC is checked but i don't see the option to choose anywhere and it doesn't pop up when i connect via USB.
Strange thing is, when i revert to a Coredroid back-up, the option is there, but when i flash any other ROM that option is no longer there.
Any suggestions? Help would be appreciated. Thanks much.

Non-sense (hehe) roms will not give you those options (ie cm7,miui) Coredroid, android revolution etc are sense based and give you those extra abilities. The reason for this is it calls out the HTC drivers on both the phone and the pc. non-sense roms wont be able to.
Thanks for the quick reply Darunion. The new ROM i flashed is Bindroid (a sense ROM), so it should recognize, shouldn't it?
So it doesnt show up in your notifications when you pull the menu down that its "usb charging" if it does you should be able to click that to force the menu choices up. Ive been away from sense for a while so im a bit rusty :/

No notifications are there...at least no "charging" notification allowing me to choose. And nothing pops up when i connect via usb.
while its plugged in have you tried toggling usb debugging off and then back on again. sometimes this will fix the issue.
Yep...i have. Even gone so far as removing all HTC from my PC & reloaded. Still nothing. Strange thing is that this has happened when trying to flash (2) different Sense ROMs. BUT...if i restore the CD Rom...it's there again.
were the other roms you loaded all running sense 3.0 or 3.5? Ive seen some issues with 3.5 and usb cords and connection options not appearing. Just trying to find the common denominator in this.
Sense 3.5. Yeah, i've read some of those too in my "google search". People using non-inspire usb cords, etc. I'm using the inspire usb.
ive never actually used sense 3.5 so i have no idea where to start on that. sorry i wasnt able to help. hope someone has some helpful info
Think i may have figured it out...at least it's got to be a couple things. Download a latest "WIPE tool"...and tried w/o restoring anything and it connects.
So...it's either using the latest Wipe Tool...or something in my restore settings thats causing the issue. At least i know that it's working.
Thanks for your assistance anyway Darunion! Merry Xmas!

Word to the wise. Don't restore any system settings. Never a good idea. After flashing change all your custom settings one by one. Don't use anything to restore them

I had the same issue, and it was in the rom. I have used every rom out here, and some have the options and some dont.
Just been having this issue lately where my custom ringtone and notifications change to the default after a reboot or after I connect micro usb to add files to the memory card. I cant seem to find a way to fix this. Just wondering if anyone has had this issue and how to fix it. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
When you change a ringtone,do you click apply?
Exactly the same problem i also have no council. until now. with CoreDroid 2.6 i had it not, only with v2.7 and v3.0.
I have the exact same problem, I had some custom ringtones and suddenly for no reason started switching back to default. So I finally just did a factory reset now everything's back to normal.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
I may have found the issue with mine. I recently started using an app called headset droid. Once I uninstalled the app most of my issue is gone now. My ringtones and notifications no longer reset when I reboot. They do still reset if if I connect my phone via micro USB and add transfer things to my memory card. I will try resetting my phone and reflashing my rom next to see if that solves the problem completely.
Solution for rooted user but please help for non-rooted
To start off I do not have my phone rooted, although I am thinking about it lol.
My ringtones and notifications changed every time I restart my phone. What I have tried is to change the ringtones and notifications folder location. It basically started right after I received the T-Mobile update software number 1.50.531.1
sdcard(root)/notifications
sdcard(root)/ringtones
and
sdcard(root)/media/audio/notifications
sdcard(root)/media/audio/ringtones
all the above methods work in the sense that the phone recognized the ringtones but every time I restart the phone it changes the ringtone and notification back to defaults.
I have searched for a solution the closest thing I have found was located here: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=13413
The conclusion is to gain root access and move the ringtones and notification to the phone's internal system folder. Since I do not want to root my phone, is there a method to gain permission to move files to the system folder?
I really want to solve this problem so please let me know if there is a solution
Thanks from a noob
I fixed my issue by clearing the cache. I downloaded app called "app cache cleaner" than I cleared the rosie cache and boom it works woot
Anyone got an answer?
Is there an easy way to move ringtones/notification sounds to the phone memory without rooting?

Try adding your phone ringtone / notification sound this way
Settings-sound-phone ringtone-menu soft key-more ringtones-add ringtone
Then select the ringtone.
Also the similar way for notification sound..
This way you might not lose your custom ringtones when rebooted

That's how I assign them. I don't have the issue of losing them when rebooting, but I do have problems when I've connected my phone as a mass storage device as with the SD card unmounted (so it can be accessed by the PC) the phone can no longer see my ringtone/notification sounds.
Annoyingly downloading ringtones from HTC doesn't save them to the phone memory.

Hi, I had this issue after I installed Beats.
I found that the problem was linked to /system/app/com.htc.sdm.apk
This is a soundset profile which was defaulting tones.
I deleted this file, rebooted and all was fine!
Hope this helps

Is that a solution which can be used without rooting?
I have tried to report this to HTC as a bug, but cannot find the details. There are many links on this and similar sites which all go to "Whoops we cannot find that site, please one of the below" [sic] and there is nothing below. When I tried to access support direction the only countries I could choose from were USA or Canada. Can anyone direct me to how to report this as a bug for a UK user? They shouldn't be requiring us to root just so that we don't have all our ringtones defaulted every time we connect the phone to a PC, that's about 20 times a day! Particularly important for me rather than just nigglingly annoying as I'm profoundly deaf in some frequencies, I literally cannot hear some of the ring tones, I need to input ones I can tell the phone is ringing!
It's not a HTC issue, it's a gingerbread/ics issue.
Although HTC could fix it I suppose by releasing an app that allows you to copy ringtones to the phone memory.

No, it isn't!
Tell you what.... Just S-OFF & root your phone and install a custom ROM.
Otherwise, learn to live with the crappy software that HTC release and stop moaning about it.

I feel that I need to disagree.
If it was an OS issue then every ROM on every phone would suffer from the same problem.
This problem happens for various reasons on various ROMs.
HTC replace a lot of the AOSP programs with thier own and it's less than perfect and can cause this issue - they could release a patch but they are not always speedy on the releases!
I remember someone creating a Sound profile and then deleting it - which solved their problem?!

The Galaxy Nexus also suffers from resetting ringtones etc when the SD card has been unmounted, there's a bug report a mile long with Google about it.
There should be an easy fix, ie two sound config files, one for when the SD card is present and the other for when it's not, or the set as ringtone/notification function could copy the file to the internal memory.
Why load a flakey unfinished ROM when O2 provide one that fast and trouble free?
I was hoping there'd be a way of accessing the internal memory from a PC via developer tools.

As I stated - "Various ROMs" - BUT NOT ALL - So it can't be the fault of the base AOSP but rather modifications done by Manufacurers or Providers (3 is the worst for customising)!
Not all ROMs are flakey or unfurnished and you have the options to customise them a lot more to your own personal style - Most providers add bloatware which slows the device down which a lot of people don't want (The only settings I need are for my APN)!
You can access internal memory via adb - but modifying it requires you to be rooted.
There is a fallback ringtone found within framework-res.apk which the device will use if it can't find any tones at all but no different configs for SD in/out (Nice idea though!) but copying to the internal memory would still require root!
This is where I benefit from a custom rom - If I don't like one then I choose another, or I patch the problem! (Or, more often then not, I just make my own)
Try setting up a custom sound set, what rom and mods do you have

Thing is, with O2 they don't add bloat and I'm happy with their ROM, it's fast (ICS seems much faster than GB) and stable, which I guess we're lucky in that
I've set up a new sound set and tomorrow I'll be adding vids to watch on the train into London so will see how it goes.
Interesting though how it affects a Nexus device which I always thought was bare bones Android.
With the latest (and unfortunate) update from HTC, I have come to the conclusion that MTP is not the best protocol to transfer files between 2 devices. Why? It's much slower plus less secure. Maybe I just wanted to charge my device when hooking it up to the PC. With normal USB file transfer, by default, the phone does not mount and show its files to the PC. With MTP it does; and there's no way to stop it. MTP is also less stable. I had freeze ups many times when transferring large files where my computer no longer recognized the device. I had to unplug and restart.
Is anyone else having issues? Or is it just me being on Windows 8? Anyone know of a way to disable MTP and use the traditional way of mounting to sync? Thanks.
Just got an option I'm going to try. I worked on other devices I'll try ours:
"Use system tuner app. Go to startup button. Check for mtp. Click on it and find the exclude button. Click on it. Restart your tab. Connect to your charger and see if it works. For me it does, but you probably have to repeat the step because mtp might appear in your startup again (i don`t know how to kill it once for all)."

Em can you explain the 'less secure' bit? But ya it sucks lol.

in windows 8 it sucks like hell, im with you, but in windows 7 is working fine and super fast, i pass large files from my pc to my phone, and when i say large, they are really large. i use my phone for movies, and i download movies from 5 to 6 GB, and it take a couple of seconds to get from my pc to my phone. you need updated drivers for it to make it work right.

Em what that just bs for a start the filesystem don't even support more the 4gb and then you got the fact there is no way it would copy over so fast that it puts my SSD drive to shame.

Bull****.
MTP cant get over 2MB/sec even when using a high-end PC with SSD HDDs and USB3(yes i know the S doesnt support usb3, thats not the point), while USBMS easily do 10-15MB/sec, and ADB 5-6MB/sec.
MTP is worse than useless. Good thing I coded Quick ADB :silly:
MTP & the suck
I can agree on the initial frustration I had, trying to understand why my other android device allowed the copying of any file ext. onto the SD card. I bought a new phone with the same ICS os(phone did not come with a file manager), when I learned of MTP then what I learned now was that mass storage no longer exists . It is a more secure way the computer reads the device, so to avoid the blockade you'll need another device anything that has m-sd card capability so you can dump any one or more files onto it first off. Then goto googleplay and dl a good file manager program to use while accessing file in the phone. It should be simple from then in on to install any backed up .apk files or view any media(phone did not come with a versatile media player)files.

anyone find a real solution yet?
if i have to root to get this solved, so be it, but i am about to do so any way since i miss having more control over my device.
turns out after testing, my sd card is a faked 64gb class 10, transfer rate suggests class 4 and 4gb of data was verified, good news is i can still get my money back and my friend who sold it to me may not have known it was a faked card.
MTP is completely retarded. UMS is a tried-and-tested protocol, this is the biggest sh*t sandwich Google has handed Android users so far.
MTP crashes every single time I try to use it. Try opening a folder that contains a large number of files. Explorer will freeze. Furthermore, MTP requres a device-specific driver, whereas UMS uses a standard driver. Oh this sucks so much!
Guys, I don't understand you really... In every ROM I've flashed lately being it AOSP or Sense based, there's an option to switch from MTP to the "old" UMS mode. In AOSP based ROMs it is usually located in Settings - Storage and you should open the menu there and you have USB Computer Connection where you can choose whatever you like. It is an option like any other options, you can use it or not
And yes I agree with you...it sucks

I am on a rooted S4 MINI using the original stock ROM. Other than this small niggle, after removing all the crapware I am pretty happy with what I have, although if there is a compatible ROM that would bring UMS to the table I'd be happy to try it. I just find it very annoying that earlier Samsung phones used to have the UMS option but recently they decided to get rid of it. That's as stupid as it can possibly get: a tried and tested, working feature that was already in place... WTF not just leave it there??

I know CM11 has the option included and I'm sure you have either an official or a CM11 port available for S4 mini

As the title says, I use a mac and I have been unable to use both my M7 (After 4.4 Update) and my M8 on my mac. To be specific, android file transfer never sees the phone. Occasionally when booting my phone up when connected the manager pops up with a phone could not connect message, but it has never worked. This is isolated to just HTC phones for me, I verified my setup is fine with a Note 10.1 2014 (running 4.4.2), Nexus 5 (4.4.2), and a S4 (4.2). All of those connect fine.
I know there were some threads about HTC breaking something but I haven't seen a fix yet. Is there one?
If you're rooted, try DriveDroid. Let it acquire root, skip the setup, then tap on the Settings icon on the bottom bar. Then tap USB Settings and select Manually Change Permanent USB Mount. Select Media Transfer Protocol Android Debugging. Now connect your device. You should be good to go.

When I connect my phone to my mac a install for HTC Sync manager comes up. You might have to use that

I hope not. I Loathe HTC Sync. Damn thing never quits right, doesn't run particularly well, and I just don't want another service running if I don't really need it. When I'm done with finals though I will try that. I have a bad feeling your right though...
If you restart the computer with the phone still plugged in, Android File transfer will work.
