Since from the first use of device I'm not be able to access contents of sd card from pc. I have installed the latest version of htc sync available in htc' s site.
When I check the option disk drive from USB to Pc, I can see the new removable disk in file explorer, but I cannot access to this disk.
I always get the error: insert a disk to the drive M (translated to english cause my pc have greek locale).
Have anyone else this issue?
Have you tried to read the SD with an external reader?
I'm also had this problem.
I did simply repair the HTC Sync.
Restart the pc.
And then connected worked.
Some how the problem solved. I tried a lot connect disconnect, close and open htc sync, and suddently I get access to my sd card. I didn't do something different from the other tries, but this time works. First time after a lot of tries and reboots the last couple of days.
Connecting as Disk Drive is not accepted easily. I think it is always required to activate USB debugging mode first. So, simple way is first choose HTC sync mode on the phone, after it get connected change to Disk Drive mode. It works..
Thanks for the tips.
Sometimes don't work though. Needed to connect/disconnect several times to work properly. Sometimes when I connect the cable, the popup window doesn't appear(I have checked the asking option) and sync doesn't work too. And after some tries when connect the cable the popup appears and work both sync or disk option.
faulty cable perhaps?
I'm still using the charger and USB cable from my i-Mate K-Jam - works like a charm!

hi, mates
i faced with a problem on my hero,
it doesn't connect to PC.
after cable's plugged in, sometimes I see mode selection dialog, sometimes - no, but in any case, PC writes : usb device is not recognized.
sometimes i see removable drive win explorer, but after clicking on this windows tells me - please insert disk into this drive,
and hero detaches mounted drive with notification about preparing sd card for usage.
i faced with with problem not after next flashing custom rom, but after that i tried to wipe data and flash various roms, the same result.
how do you think this is hardware issue? or recommend me to try another steps to fix this, please

use usbdeview to remove anything HTC then reboit,don't let windows install anything from Windows update
Thank you,
I've tried this solution,
but it doesn't work completely.
Actually, I've tried to connect my Hero via usb with XP, Vista, Ubuntu, OSX
and got the same problem,
host loses the connection to hero,
sometimes host can't connect after plugging cable ,
sometimes host can transfer small files, but when I try to copy large file to the device and host loses connection during the copy process.
looks like a problem with usb connector/controller on device side,
like power trouble, low voltage on usb
your opinion?
Why does my phone lose the SD memory card when i plug it in to my computer?
as soon as i plug in the usb cable, my phone loses what ever is on the SD card, and when i unplug it, the phone recognizes it again..any ideas?
thanks
When you connect the phone to your computer the computer allows you to use it as a disk drive in which you can drag and drop files onto your device. For some reason while this is happening you can not access it through your phone.
Next time you plug your phone in to your computer and a window comes up asking for activesync, diskdrive etc, press nothing (the screen goes away after 5 seconds) your phone will be completely normal and charging nicely from the computer
happy ending isnt it?

use the phone with activesync and not as a disk drive. .
You have your usb mode set as "disk drive" on the phone.
When it's so, when you connect USB the card is unmounted from the phone's OS so that the PC has direct access to it.
thanks,
where can i change that option? Is it possible to have the phone plugged in to a PC and watch a movie or music off the SD card?
Yes, if you choose activesync mode, as he said above. It normally asks you everytime you plug the USB calbe, but you most likely chose disk drive and checked the "don't ask again" checkbox. You can change it on settings tab, menu->more, connections, USB to PC.
ok, so my next question is, does activesync support windowsXP 64?
thats what we use here at work, and its giving me error messages when i try to use activesync.
What errors?
By default under Windows the software used to manage phones, which is called Activesync on XP, or WMDC on Vista/7, is not installed.
So if you plug the phone in ActiveSync mode on a PC that doesn't have it you'll see missing driver errors. If all you want is to charge the phone you can just ignore them, if you want to access the card/internal memory contents you need to download and install it.
My problem is, when i connect phone to PC with activesync and disconnect it, its working properly after this and i can use SDcard, but when connect it to pc like disc drive after disconnection off cable my phone dont see sdcard. This happening after ROM upgrade from 1.48 to 1.66. Can somone help
Hello! (first post , have been reading for a while though)
I can't connect the phone to my PC (win7 64bit), not as a mass storage device or with Kies (it worked fine before with my home PC and an XP machine at work).
It stopped working after the PC said "Device drivers installed properly" (or something like that) when I connected it, after that I have'nt been able to make it work as mass storage device on any computer..
Very strange and very annoying!
I'm thinking I might factory reset the phone (would very anti-nice though to loose all apps and stuff), so I thought I'd ask here first if there are any possible solutions..
Thx!
if you open device manager in Win7 x64 do you see it listed as GT-I9000 in Portable Devices ?
that's what it shows in mine, and i'm on x64 Win7
it automatically opens in Mass Storage also works in Kies
WEE!! Got it to work just now!!
Rebooted the phone (as I do every day) and connected it to charge over night, and windows popped up with the "installing device driver blabla dialogue" and suddenly it works!?!
This after not working for at least a week on any computer...
I have no idea what might have caused it, but I'm just happy it works again
Still, very strange...
It shows up in the device manager now, it did'nt before.. Thx for the reply!
On Win XP
is there a certain driver i have to download before using USB Mass Storage option.
all i get are two removable drives icon. but they can't be opened
you should only have 1 removeable device icon, 2 if you have a micro SD card inserted.
if you configure the phone to ask you what to do with the usb during connection, then you can select Kies or Mass Storage
regardless both works fine
i do have two removable drives because of the addition of the sd card
its set on Mass Storage. but it still won't open. im not sure if Windows installed it properly though
the driver details:
driver files- system32\drivers\USBSTOR.sys
does it shows in device manager, as mentioned above ?

After connecting the phone via USB, did tell the phone to Mount the drives?
anyone else encountered this issue?
Is anyone else having trouble connecting their Galaxy to a PC? I don't know whether mine is faulty or not. Downloaded the Samsung Kies software but when I plug in the Galaxy Windows is unable to find a MTP USB device driver and the phone refuses to connect. This happens Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit. Also the Galaxy has a complete fit and keeps flashing between the home screen and MTP application screen while it's connected (wxw.youtube.com/watch?v=R9hdpJPCP-k). And I don't get the usual Android option to mount for file transfer. Am I missing something?

finally managed to fix tis stupid kies connection problem...if anyone encountering the same issue jus do a factory restore n format ur internal sd card
Hi,
I have a strange problem when I try to connect my device to the PC.
After I installed Kies for the first time, the PC recognized my device one time. After I had removed the USB connection, when I try to reconnect the device, the PC did not recognize it.
I tried to reinstall Kies, install drivers without the Kies, I rebooted my PC everytime - nothing worked, it still did not recognized.
The only thing that work is a System Restore which I did on my PC (for before I installed Kies for the first time), but then I got the same problem - for the first time I connected my device after the Kies installation, the PC recognized my device, but after I unplugged and reconncted the USB cabel, the PC did not recognize my device, again.
Meanwhile, my System Checkpoints on my PC where deleted (I guess because of the System Restore), so now I can not go back to square one again.
I tried to find identical problem in the forum, but I did not find one.
My operating system on my PC is Windows XP, 32bit (I do not have access to another operating system, surely not on a daily basis. If it is necessary, I will try to find a computer with another operating system).
The Kies version which I installed is 1.5.3, the most updated as of 31/10/2010, downloaded from the official Samsung website.
I do NOT use LauncherPro, or any other launchers for that matter (I only installed a few popular games, from the market, on my device).
Thank you!
Yuval.
Try removing any media which might be there on your internal sd card. If that doesn't work then try and format the internal sd card. Certain apps like winamp too prevent the phone from connecting to the pc. It sure did work for me. Hope it does for you too.

I did transfer some .mp3 and .wma files from my PC to my "media" folder in my device through Kies in my first (and successful) connection.
However, deleting them (+ reinstallation of Kies + rebooting of both my PC and my device) did not help, and my PC still does not recognize my phone.
How do I format my internal SD card?
Thanks!
if you have any other devices like printers, external hdds, etc connected, remove them and connect your phone.
Go to settings, sd card and phone storage, internal sd card. Unmount internal sd card and then format.

The only devices that are connected to my PC are the screen, mouse and keyboard. Should I remove and reconnect them?
Do you get the usb connection sounds when you connect and disconnect your phone to/from the pc?
It is all OK now .
The problem was two bad USB ports. It took my some time to cosider the posibility that both of them do not work well. Using a third USB port fixed the problem.
For all of you - if the phone uploads the "Kies" screen (the blue one) when connencted, it is probably the USB port or the USB cabel to blame.
I'm with the DHD for a day and this is so far my only problem...
When I connect the phone using the option, Disk drive (like a usb pen in the PC), when I transfer several files to the disk drive, after some time (most of the times under a minute) the usb disk drive disconnects from the PC because the sdcard is also unmounted from the phone...
Then the only way for the sdcard to reappear on the phone is to restart the phone or to reinsert it on the phone...
I'm with the last firmware (updated yesterday). I only notice this problem today. I left the original cable at home, but I'm using an original cable from nokia (a very small length one). I also used it with a nokia E72 and a Sony X10i and never got any problems...
I'm not detecting any problems with the microsdcard "inside" the phone (I mean on a OS level). It's the same that I used for more that 1 year on my old phone, an Touch HD...
For the matter, I unticked the USB debugging option... and still the same.
Any one as an idea?!? Bug? Bad settings?
i also had probs even getting the phone to link to my win7 x64 system.. after many many reinstalls of software and restarts of phone i was getting sooo wound up with it!!.. i was ready to give up.. i then started messing with my phone settings and disabled the fast boot and restarted the phone normally.. it instanly saw my phone and linked perfectly, ive transfered hundreds of photos onto it and loads of music.. not sure if the fast boot bypasses some non essential programs to enable it to boot so fast.. try disabling fast boot and leave usb debugging enabled (thats what i am using and it seems fine for me).. let me know if this sorts the problem thanks
For the matter, two days ago I tried on my home computer, another hardware system, but with Win7 x64...
I copied files from my computer to the phone and reversed and no problems.... maybe some bad driver installation...
Nevertheless I'm going to try to disable that option and try again...
Oh, by the way,
I'm almost sure that at home when I choosed the option HTC Sync, the sdcard also appeared in my computer...
Here at work it doesn't appear...
Is this right?!?
Ok, I think I found what was the problem...
Some days ago I tried to move all my files from the sdcard to format it due the jerky video problem (to have the sdcard with a 32k cluster). I tried to format also to be sure that this problem would be gone...
To copy/move the files I removed the sdcard to the PC.
I found out that in some files the move/copy process hang out. I couldn't copy/move or deleted those files. I then skipped those files, still there was some files, and eventually I got most things backup to my PC. The strange thing is that not even running several time the chkdsk command it was able to fix the errors of those files.
Then I formatted the sdcard and moved again all my files to it.
I guess I fixed this problem. I still didn't copy/move files using "Connect to a PC as disk drive" although...
