Hi all.
Is there a way to access the FAT32 partition on the SD through the USB cable (the same way I used to do with the Magic)?
Disabling the USB debug mode won't help!
Thanks.
Yes, just plug it in and there should be a notification asking if you want to 'mount' the storage. When you mount the storage it will become visible to your PC just as if it was a usb memory stick.
so for the idiot's guide (not calling you and idiot, but you clearly have not read the manual).
When you plug the usb cable in, at the top of the phone screen there should be a usb sign.
drag the notification bar down.
there should be a line for usb stating click to mount.
Click.
A popup will ask you do you want to mount, click 'mount'
DONE!
Please remember to unmount when disconnecting. do this either by ejecting the drive in windows OR the same method as mounting but the popup will ask you to unmount.
but again again again this is in the manual/.
And before I get any H8's saying you need to mount to access the manual, its also on the HTC site. so Raspberry to you.
It simply doesn't work. I did read TFR!
OK.
Are you trying this at work? It's possible through a windows reg change to disable the usb ports, my place does this but can be fixed with a simple reg script.
Have you another usb drive to try in the port you are using?
Just checking that your connecting it to the back of the computer as they are the main ports (ones directly connected to your mobo) as sometimes the front ones wont work if not connected/enabled.
If you do have another device/drive and this works in the port then bad times.

It would be more useful if you could tell us what it does do, rather than that it simply doesn't work.
1. When you plug the USB cable in, do you get "USB Connected" notification? If so, when you bring this up, do you get the option to mount the SD card?
2. Have you tried a different USB cable and/or connecting the phone to a different PC?
3. Have you tried with a different SD card in the phone?
4. Have you repartitioned your SD card in any way? (i.e. added swap, ext3 whatever?)

Dave
1. No, I don't get any notification at all.
2. Different cables, same result. USB memory stick and USB hard drive work on the very same port.
3. Yes, same result.
4. Yes, I did the "usual" 3 partitions.
5. I'm running MoDaCo 2.1
FIXED while troubleshooting!
6. I switched to my Nokia DKE-2 cable and it magically worked.
7. The old cables used to work with ADB but not in storage mode.
8. All three cable can charge the phone.
9. I presume a problem with the cable, but have no idea about the nature.
Anyway, the thing was really not working at all. Please give first a look to my first post. I already tried a number of things before posting.

Just as a matter of interest, did you try with the cable that came with the phone? At the very least that should be working too.
Thus far, I've had no problems with 3 or 4 different USB cables, but I have seen issues like this in the past where cables didn't have all pins connected.
Regards,
Dave
I've lost my original cable some thousands kilometers away from home.
This is why I got using my digital camera and USB hard drive min-USB cables.
I got no problem so far apart of not being able to mount the phone's SD.
I presume a weird wiring problem. Maybe this thing can be put in a FAQ.

So I can't get my desktop OR laptop running XP Pro 32 to even recognize the phone. As in no audio plays and nothing appears in the system tray. Tried with/without debugging mode, installed the samsung drivers etc. The phone doesn't even show up in device manager at all- not even as something unrecognizable. Its as if the port is dead. The phone does 'ding' though and charge ok so it is receiving power... though nothing at all appears in the android notification tab when connected. Any ideas or anyone know of any apps on the pc or android side to take a closer look at whats happening on the bus?
The only way that I can get it to work is to put it in media mode. It shows up as a media device in Win7. If I put it on, "ask every time" or whatever it doesn't work and in mass storage mode it shows up as two unreadable drives, they are grayed out in Explorer... Basically...don't use the "ask every time" for USB function.
This function seems like such a simple thing, not sure why Samsung has so many issues with it considering they have been making media devices for a long time.
Anyway... do you have access to a newer OS to at least rule that out as a cause. Not saying it shouldn't work with XP 32 but just something to check out.
I was having similar issues at first. I take it adb doesn't work either? Well my fix was to delete my whole Android SDK folder, then I redownloaded it (though I just kept the "tools" folder this time). Then I downloaded "USBDeview" (google it) to delete every USB driver that had to do with android (basically just left the printers, HID, and my Sansa drivers), restarted, then I downloaded the samsung drivers from the thread on here, plugged my phone in and manually pointed the driver search to the drivers.
ADB and Mass Storage has been working fine since. All I can tell you is to keep checking cause there's something you're missing, I also thought to myself "what the heck else can I do?" since I had done each one of those steps previously, but maybe I just had to do them all together. Good luck.
another possible solution is to change cables if you're not using the samsung provided cable - some cables are charger only (no data) - some of the motorola cables are charger only and we've already had one poster that had that issue
I couldn't get it to work at first either. I more or less did this.
I plugged in my phone. I did not enable mass storage mode on my phone. Walked away and let my PC think for a while. I came back and I noticed I had two new drives. I then enabled mass storage mode and could connect.
Two of my machines I had to do this. I'm not sure why it wasn't instant, but it just took a bit of patience and walking away from the machine to let it think for a while before I guess it installed the drivers and made its peace with the fact it wasn't the G1 any more.
Say into voice dialer "Open SD card" -> check "Enable USB mass storage". That works if port on PC is OK.
If it's a driver issue, open device manager and uninstall the usb ports. Unplug everything from usb and when you reboot the computer it will automatically reinstall the usb ports.

I ran into the same issue. It was a problem with the USB cable I was using. As soon as I tried a different cable it worked fine.

I second this, I forgot my sammy cable at work on Friday and on way home stopped at T-Mo and picked up a charger w/cable and realized right away this was just a charging cable as soon as I connected it to my PC. I'm returning the cable back to T-Mo tonight. At least I was able to charge my phone over the weekend.
UPDATE: You guys are right, it is the goddamn cables! I bought an extra wall charger + cable at the t-mobile store and was using that at home. I had left the original in-box cable at work. Tried the cable at work today and now the drives pop up. Still don't appear writeable but I can look into that when I have time, probably the typical driver issue. As far as I can tell those separate cables are power only! $15 for a two wires + dc adapter. Thanks Samsung. Grr.
i suspect the mfgrs have gone to charge only cables to help keep folks from tethering - just a suspicion
if the "drives" are popping up, have you "mounted" the phone (pull down notification bar, clik on USB connected and it should give you a window asking to mount the cards or drive)
FYI....The Rocketfish cables you get from Best Buy do not work. They are only capable of charging.
@larryccf...I don't think certain manufacturers are implementing this on purpose so we can't tether. I think their just being cheap.
Where I got my cables on the cheap! and my problem.
I got my cable at monoprice.com. Check it out that is a 10 foot usb cable for $1.69 and it works for me. They have different lengths and even some colors. Now my Mass Storage issue . . .
My Mass Storage via USB works fine unless I enable "USB Debugging" which one of my apps needs to work. Once debugging is enabled I loss the ability to see my sd card and internal storage on my XP netbook. any ideas????
Same Problem
I have the exact issue, tried many things have'nt found a fix yet. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Yes phone is mounted, and can be seen w/o usb debugging enabled. However with usb/debugging on it does not read the phone being connected. Meaning that I cannot connect to ADB which is my main concern.

This is my issue exactly, and I haven't found a fix either. Called T-Mobile and they thought turning off debugging was the only fix I needed.
Most of them, sorry to say are half retarded. They think a data reset is the cure-all

Ain't that the truth!
If you are running windows (x86 or x64), it would be wise to install the samsung drivers. I was having this exact problem, but as soon as I installed the drivers from samsung, viola!
I had the latest drivers from google, and they did not work for me.
Here is a link to the thread containing the links to the drivers, thanks to TGA_Gunnman:

I am having a huge problem mounting my Epic 4G to my Mac. When I select Mount USB, nothing happens. I have read several posts about Galaxy S phones having the same problem, they all say to have USB Debugging turned on, but mine is on and still can't mount.
Also, another huge problem. I connect my phone, then I use adb to access the sd card, but I can only use adb for a short period of time, then it disconnects itself, then I try to run adb again but it does not recognize it. I have to unplug the phone, then plug it again.
Does anybody have any idea why this is happening or how to fix it?

I've successfully mounted my SD card on OSX. I have debugging turned off. If it won't mount, try a different slot, if that doesn't work, try rebooting the phone. It will work.

Dude, welcome to the club. Since i got my phone i have not successfully been able to have it read on my Mac Mini. Tried different cables and different ports. Some say get a powered USB hub but i'm not in the mood to clutter my puny desk space.
For now i use an app called Websharing to transfer stuff via WiFi. It's a pain sometimes but that's how i get by for now.
I don't have any problem with 10.5 or .6
I can use either regular or debug. Sometimes rebooting the phone and/or the computer helps. It could be a crappy cable. I don't think the supplied one is very good. The one I use with no problems is the overpriced 3 footer that the corporate sprint stores have. I think the cables that came with the epic, moment, and evo were el cheapo. I had a problem that you are describing with a stock supplied cable. I figured out that the micro usb end wasn't making solid contact with the phone. If I would move the cable, it would disconnect. Changing to a real micro usb cable helped me. It could be the usb port is flaky or the usb plug is intermittent. If you are using vmware fusion or bootcamp or dual boot, see if it drops connection in a different os.
No luck under Windows7 (running with Parallels Desktop) either. I'll try buying a new USB cable and see if that works ... Will try Websharing too.
Thanks

Did you put your phone into debug mode?
I found that trying different USB slots on the PC, it will eventually work. When you plug it in the first time, it will install some needed drivers ABD etc, if you unplug the phone and plug it back into the same USB slot, it will install the last remaining drivers and you should now be able to see the phone.
Samsungs drivers are flaky at best. It took me a good hour to get it working for me so I could root my phone.

temporary fix
This topic has been discussed at another tread.... but anyway, The Macs (current generation only) do not give you enough energy at the USB to power the phone into connecting the memory card. Nor even enough to recognize the phone for more than a few seconds. You can get around it, temporarily, by connecting through a powered USB port. Tetheris still doen's work, but at least you can mount your sd card. It's a software issue... if you're running Windows on the mac machine, it'll connect and mount fine. So, ask Mac for a fix.

Yes..thanks. That did it for me. The only thing I hadn't tried was plugging it into my powered usb hub...boom it works.
Worked for me too... can't f'in believe it.
I cannot get my epic to mount for ANYTHING! I factory wiped the phone, nope, I used a palm pre usb cable nope, I downloaded the official samsung drivers nope, I plugged the cable into the motherboard on the computer nope, I tried a different computer running windows 7, nope tried a laptop using windows vista, nope. Does anyone know ANY WAY POSSIBLE to get this thing to mount? I selected mass storage and dissabled and enabled usb debugging. Im just not having any luck. It seems that the computer recognizes the phone is connected just cant get to the files on the SD card.
I also spent many hours trying to figure out what the hell was wrong with my Epic, that is, why it would come up as a "malfunction" in Windows when I plugged the USB cable in.
I tried drivers, different restore points, wiping, etc. etc. etc.
To the point... Try a new USB cable. The one packaged with the Epic is junk. As a matter of fact, it worked several times before it crapped out. I have no idea why, but I picked up a new micro USB cable, plugged it in, and the phone was then immediately recognized by my computer to allow mass storage mount.
People who tried the Palm Pre USB cable also had issues for some reason.
IMO, there should be a sticky posted in this board regarding the packaged USB cable, as I encounter this issue quite a bit.
Ok I'll try to find a new one really quick thanks
ugh tried an HTC Mytouch 4g usb cable and that didnt work either. Gonna try a class 4 usb stick and im gonna try puttting all of the files on the computer from the SD card
Edit: Oh wow i cant put the files on the computer duh
Edit: Ok now I'm mad a Class 4 SD card wont connect to the computer thru the epic ughhhh
I'm guessing during this time, you've rebooted the computer a few times? Sometimes, that's all it takes...
Try uninstalling ALL of the USB drivers associated with the Epic, rebooting the computer, then connecting (with debug mode OFF). Windows found and installed the USB drivers for me in just a few seconds when I did this [with the new cable, the first time].
- G
Have u enabled development mode under settings > applications (in your) epic? If not, try that, then plug in cable.
Then pull down the notification bar and it'll give you back the option.. again, if you haven't tried this.
On occasion I have troubles with the Epic mounting/ejecting on a Mac, but the only time I've ever had an issue with it mounting on a PC a different cable solved the problem immediately.
Try a different USB port on your PC. If that doesn't work, try rebooting the PC and the phone.
I had luck with trying different usb ports though
I had this problem as well and:
1. Tried 4 different cables
2. Tried all 4 on all 4 different USB ports
3. Rebooted numerous times
4. Uninstalled/reinstalled drivers
5. Tried 3 different PCs (1 other running 7 and another running Vista)
6. Did 1-4 on all three computers.
OH! and the reason I was so adamant about finding a solution was that I was stuck in Clockwork... due to having messed up an EXT4/RFS/CW2.5/CW3.0 installation... It was MY fault... I screwed up.
The problem was I had been living with the nonmounting problem by simply putting my MicroSD into an adapter and plugging it into my Laptop for file transfers... never expecting to HAVE to ODIN at some time...
Anyway... I ended up coughing up the $100 to Insurance and replacing the phone.
HERE IS MY THEORY: I think what my problem was was that the USB port on the Phone was messed up. I think these USB ports are possibly a hardware fail point and the changing of cables has been a patch on the issue with the port... NOT the cables themselves!
I'm not suggesting that you are there yet since it sounds like you can at least still get the phone to boot up (and aren't stuck in CW) and could still use a work around of putting files on the MicroSD with an adapter...
But I would suggest you don't be as stupid as me and get yourself in a position where ODIN is your only hope.
Yeah, it sounded like a bad USB port to me. Also, FYIY, if you ever have to replace the phone through insurance, tell them that the phone was lost. Either way, it will cost you $100.00 to get a replacement and when it's reported as lost, they will also send you a new battery...

Hi,
I've been struggling with this problem ever since I've had the Note 3 ( since December). I've been unable to find a solution so am turning to this forum in the hope that someone can shed some light on this.
When I connect via my USB 3.0 port and select MTP (usb 3.0), then try to transfer a file from the note 3 to my pc, the progress bar comes up but sits there at 0% for a while then a message pops up "a device attached to the system is not functioning".
At this point going to other folders reveals no files although the current folder still shows them. This suggest that there is a disconnection of some kind.
Switching back to plain MTP this transfer will work but obviously at usb 2.0 speeds.
I am running Windows 7 and the usb port I have is via a card attached which is an Asus u3S6 (usb 3 / sata 6) card. The chipset on the card is a NEC chip and my other use for it is a bunch of external SATA drives in a USB 3 enclosure. Needless to say there are no problems with running these drives through the ports.
I have Kies 3 installed so any usb drivers needed for the note 3 should be fine. I'm stumped so anyone that can help me troubleshoot this I'd be grateful.
Have you tried enabling " USB Debugging " ?

Yes sorry I forgot to add that fact. It makes no difference.
Guess no one knows
i have somewhat similar problem, at some point of usb 3 file transfer the progress bar freezes and so is "my computer". interestingly the file transfer to note from the pc always works fine, but it always freezes at some point when copying files from note to pc, even during kies backup. usb 2.0 works flawlessly.
i've messed around with usb 3 drivers (asmedia) and even updated its firmware but the freezeups still remain.
gonna try usb 3 transfer on a different pc tomorrow.

This sounds like a different problem but I did get to the bottom of my problem which turned out to be the Anker 2 port hub I had connected to the usb 3.0 port. I didn't think to eliminate this but when I connected directly the problem goes away so the hub I had bought purely to extend the ports for convenience is faulty or incompatible.
Perhaps you have an extension or hub too in which case I'd make sure you connect directly.
USB3 seems a bit flaky in implementation. I had probs with my N3, a Corsair USB3 stick and a USB3 ext HDD. Problem turned out to be the ports on the PC. They would work with most devices but were intermittent or non-functional on others. Of course, among the USB3 devices it WOULD work with were the ones the vendor had. For some devices it behaved like the USB3 extra connectors in the plug or socket weren't long enough - push it in harder or push it sideways slightly and it would connect but drop as soon as you let go. (not good to do 0 USB carries power and this is a good way to get an arc across the plug and fry things)
The PC vendor gave me an add-on front port panel and all is fine now. Even though it plugs into the same port on the MB.
Note the USB3 HDD still pops up the 'check drive' error every time I connect but I haven't taken the time to nuke it and rebuild yet. But the Corsair now works and so does the phone.
Ah, the joys of the MTP protocol...
Same issue here. As well as it stops responding halfway through a transfer, crashes the connection when making a new folder, takes about 3 years to copy 1GB, randomly disconnects...
My TF700 started doing this after the 4.1.2 update removed UMS. My S3, same story. My Note 3, same story. 29 different computers, 4 different systems (XP, 7, 8, OSX). Different cables, different ports, with and without drivers, with and without USB debugging.
I bloody hate MTP. It's useless, limiting (because now it can't be used as a drive to attach to a mediaplayer via USB..) and about as stable as nitroglycerin during an earthquake.

I thought I'd give up on hubs and just get an extension as my USB3.0 is on the back of the computer and not that accessible.
I've seen a lot of complaints about hubs and simple extensions that have this poor connectivity which seems crazy to me since it's a bit more important to have a solid connection on USB 3 plugs, besides which it's not as though the usb connectors are rocket science.
I'll try the extension and hope I get a reasonable one.
well i did try the usb 3.0 file transfer on a different pc with a different usb controller and it worked fine, copied my 5gb music folder to the pc without any problems. so in my case i guess it's some incompatibility with the asmedia 104x controller (i did connect directly in both cases and the same cable was used).

it seems like it is indeed MTP issue here ! i rolled back to the old 2006 microsoft driver and i managed to do a full backup including music and everything else with kies. but after a while i tried again and it froze up again, i'll keep experimenting.
Sorry to resurrect this 3 month old thread but is there any way to fix this?
Whenever I want backup anything from my phone storage to PC, I have to do it in chunks of like, 50 files or less (huge PITA with TiBU). If I try to copy the whole folder, my computer locks up and I have to hard reset it. I've tried everything mentioned here short of buying a new USB3 controller.
My phone cannot be detected but I can be charge. It can't also detect OTG even though I flashed OTG fix.

Hi Random, here are a few things I'd try:
1. Try one or two different USB cables and see if you get the same results.
2. When the phone is connected to PC, you need to go to the phone and under the system notification, specify what you want the USB Preferences to be (Use USB for: File Transfer, USB Tethering, etc) just to make sure.
I can't help with the OTG as I haven't used it yet, but maybe one of the other members can shed some light on the issue. Good luck and I hope you get it sorted.

I've used another cable, it's still the same.
But our desktop can detect it.
usb drivers
since your desktop can detect it try this.
connect it to your desktop and go into device manager and find what USB driver is being used.
now check if that driver is also present on the laptop. if not copy it over and restart the laptop.
