Everytime I connect my phone via USB cable to my PC it mounts the SD card in USB Storage mode.
Its not a deal breaker but definitely can be an inconvenience when trying to use the phone while charging on a PC (which is how I use my phone at work).
Anyone else run into and find a fix for this?
I kinda remember seeing someone mention a weird solution to a similar problem (maybe regarding PC charging?) that entailed changing the screen timeout.
Phone Info:
Droid 2
ROM: Fission 1.1 (installed last night over a freshly SBF-ed phone)
I see at least one other person is experiencing this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8747858&postcount=56
Tried swapping out SD card for a freshly formatted one and still seeing the same issue. So I'm going to rule out the SD card being at fault.

AngDroid, part of the development team (Team DeFuse), has asked that bugs in regards to the fission rom be posted at Droid Life. It is hard for the team to manage multiple forums. Please make a post here :http://forum.droid-life.com/viewforum.php?f=61&sid=799e04fe62c2af5a7682b052087fe5aa and you will have a greater chance at getting a resolution.
I had this problem this weekend, but I'm running the stock ROM.
Some googling didn't turn up much, other than that certain programs would cause this, none of which I had. If i had the original link I'd post it. I think i read a lot about it on the Incredible forums here.. maybe?
Anyway, the only thing I had changed recently was installing Winamp.
It turned out that it was indeed Winamp. Uninstalled it and all works fine now.
Grrr! Wish I had checked this sooner. I rolled back to a nandroid backup. I was getting so fed up with it not working correctly. Glad to know it wasn't the Fission ROM. Though I kinda didn't think it was since I was having that issue even before going from the beta to 1.1.
Oh well, guess I'll try it again later. Tired of going through settings for apps. For now.
Thanks for the response, Lithoss.
Wonder if the winamp team knows their app prevents charging the Droid 2 via PC? It's a great app otherwise.

Thanks for the heads up. Didn't know the official Fission rom forum was on droid-life. Will have to bookmark that.

No problem.
I dont think it prevents charging.... it just mounts it too when it shouldn't.
I emailed them about it through the link in the market.. so if they read their email they should know
You're right. It does charge properly. It doesn't allow access to SD card resources though. Which means no podcasts while hooked up via USB. Deal breaker!
Hope they get it figured out soon. That was a pretty sweet interface. I liked it better than cubed (^3).

This is toggleable behavior. Check the settings in winamp and you will see something to the effect of automatically mount SD card when connected. If you uncheck that, it shouldn't do it...
@natez0r - Thanks for the explanation. Guess this time it really is a feature and not a bug!
Guess I'll give winamp another shot since that "feature" can be turned off.

Please put [SOLVED] in your thread title. Thanks

Can I close this?

If I were to guess, it would be for making it easier to sync with winamp when you plug the phone into your computer. DoubleTwist also has this option, but i feel like it is more of a nuisance than anything.

Ok so makes no sense ive not had any problems like this. Ive had my phone for months. All the sudden last night i plug it into my ps3 to move over a video file and Boom. the Ps3 freezes in such a way that all the controllers stop working and i cant do anything on it. Unplug the phone and after a few seconds things go back to normal. I plug it into my Usb hub (4 way splitter from Tmo) on the ps3 and it works (albeit very very slowly). Try to go back to just the ps3 and again it stalls and the pc wont even see it. Today trying to fix the problem ive changed to 4 different roms, tried mounting in recovery and tried to get my PC to recognize it every way i know and nothing is working. The charging light comes on but nothing else seems to happen on the ps3 or computer. Thanks in advance pros
Bump. Please help if u can guys. Thanks
ooo i had this issue earlier this week, installed like 3 different roms and it wouldnt see it, but all of a sudden it came back up.
what I did was wipe data/factory, cache, davlik, went into mount and storage formatted everything that gave me the option, mounted usb and installed Royal Panache rom. rebooted twice and it showed again.
hope this can help you.

I had a similar issue with my nexus s and a dev told me to partition SD card or power down phone. Plug it in go to recovery and find mount SD card try that
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk
So i tried both ideas, interesting results. I had already tried getting it to work in recovery and no joy. Flashed the latest CWM 5.0.1.0 and still nothing.
Then tried Royal Panache and the phone seems to see the comp, lets me pick what kind of connection i want to use but then nothing else happens on the comp. A
Any new tips?

did it show up on the panache rom then? when you say it didnt show up on the computer, it didnt pop up and it didnt show in the "computer" section where it shows all drives?
Yes exactly.on panache only, it Shows in the phone but its as if the comp then can't see it. Still works fine with the hub but nothing else, have tried different computers, ROMs, cords, recovery images. The only way it works is through the hub. THIS MAKES NO SENSE.......could un rooting fix this? Could it maybe be the sdcard?
This happens to me...

This happened to me and flashing the latest unity kernal fixed it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1050106
ok, so virtuous didnt help. The rom didnt work alone neither did using the latest kernel. Unrooting now. will keep all posted.
no dice mates, all the way back to stock and no difference. Like the panache ROM, the notification shows up, but it doesnt seem to make any real difference. Doesnt show on the comp or ps3 and so im on the phone with TMO now.
Can anyone help with theses issues?
I have a couple programs that will not work on my lg g2 I have deleted cache, uninstalled, reinstalled and its still the same...they are espn scorecenter and grocery iq, I cant get any menus to pull up to login or anything (anyone else seeing this with this phone?)
I also can not get carbon helium on the computer to recognize this phone, I have installed drivers and done everything I know how, and nothing...I need a way to get my old apps and settings (I do not wan to play through plants vs zombies again just to get where I am) from the s4 to this phone.
I have had it lock up and I had to reset it by holding power button down for 8 seconds, anyone else see this? It was just sitting idle when it happened.
other then that, holy battery batman and great camera, really like what I see out of this phone!
(originally posted somewhere else, but I wanted to copy it over here to see if you guys could help)
I use ESPN ScoreCenter and haven't had any problems with that app on the G2. I also haven't had it lock up on me (although I've only had my G2 for about a week or so).
Are you using the stock rom? If so you could maybe try a factory reset to see if that fixes anything.

thanks for the reply, Yes I am 100% stock (first time in my android life)..I will try a factory reset to see if that helps will report back asap.
edit: okay so factory reset help with espn scorecenter, thats it grocery iq and helium still a no go, started playing around with it and in order for clockworkmod helium to work with this phone it has to be set as internet/ethernet on the usb connection, NOT any other option, then it seems to work, or is working as I am restoring stuff right now. will update again.
Has this happened to anyone elses G2? I am on verizon with 4.4.2 update and not rooted. He had complete control of her phone. Was writing me messages and kept opening pics of my 4 yr daughter. I diconnected the wifi and mobile data. He still had control of the phone. Then I factory reset it and he still was on it. Verizon is sending me a new phone and getting a new sims card. Is there a way from stoping this from happening?
I truly dont believe though that when you switched off network that someone can still connect. Anyways:
firstly, recap if the phone was ever left unattended, letting someone install something on it.
Dont do that, even if if it has a password on it, anyone not looking away when entering it on the street can see what the pincode/password is.
Apps not from play store, dont install. Ever.
Change all passwords on a safe medium (multiple antiviris vendors scanned) of wifi router, to anything, including recovery questions, make them different and non logical or affiliated to you.
Run virus scans on computer and or any medium that ever connected phone.
Then check apps/websites of mail and such for activity, likely activity at times you didnt use any of the services. Anyway facebook and such lets you close open sessions anywhere.
That should do the trick. And big tip dont get paranoid Just ponder how somehow got acces.
I find it hard to believe that someone could still control the device after a factory reset. Highly unlikely I would say.

1. I really doubt this happened.
2. After disconnecting wifi and mobile data, it would be impossible
3. Factory reset would definitely make it impossible
4. It's more likely that the touch screen is having phantom touches
I had issues with phantom touches on my Optimus G. Drove me batty. Some days it was impossible to use the phone, as the touches were all registering in the bottom half of the screen where the keyboard appears. So random letters would be inserted into words.
Turned out to be a driver issue with the custom kernels in some of the ROMs is using.
Factory reset and being more selective in the kernels I ran fixed the issue.
If it's still happening after a factory reset, then you have a defective touchscreen. Replace the phone under warranty.

I really have no reason to lie to you guys. The messages stopped after I disconnted the internet but the screen was still jumping around. That is why i figured he still had access.
I just received the new phone today. Should I go ahead and get a new sims card or I be ok with the old one?

its possible, if he were root and had something installed as system app.
also you can set stuff like tasker to autimaticaly turn network back on.
what did the messages say, cause if they were gybrisch then it seems like phantom touches.

I would, you could have the old encryption method on the sim card which would make it easier to root the card. But I am guessing what happened to your wife was something more like an AndroRAT exploit.
It could be possible seeing as all you need is a phone number to find your location by txt msg, and that can be done silently without you ever knowing.
Seems it's a built in part of the RADIO AT that providers can use, if you're on the inside and know how it works it'd be a doddle, but if the txt msgs were gibberish I'd go with the majority with faulty touchscreen/drivers and nothing to worry about
Bashing away at my HTC Desire C
Tell to the hacker to try to hack my phone instead, I don't care. I will shoot exclusively for him a pic of my arse as award if he manages to hack it and he can print it, or try to sell to the newspapers.
BTW, I'm not so anxious about apps not installed directly from Play Store. You can easily check or restrict the permissions of any app as root user. I never yet faced the problems.

This could be an issue with faulty digitizer.

The TOP bid would be == prank application.
Everything else would mean you're the targeted one (but how would the attacker have your new data?)
Maybe your gmail acc has some connections to another app -> look for permissions in your dashboard.

I'm getting the "unable to use fingerprints. device restarted. enter backup password, then fingerprints can be used next time device locked." ,message continually after restart.
The strange thing is that even resetting my registered fingers and using other apps like lastpass successfully it doesn't fix the issue, anybody else experiencing this issue found a way to fix it?

This is expected behaviour. It's designed to require your backup password at each boot, then you can use your fingerprints like normal
I am facing the same problem too.
Is there any solution?
Thank you
use backup password get in, turn finger print off. reboot and get back into your device then turn it back on.

As far as I know it is a choice made by Samsung and not Google but I can't be sure since I'm destined to not get MM until 2017 (or at least it feels like it at this point)
