maybe i'm missing a previous post but how or can we connect this to a pc?
you mean for tethering?
no- not yet
not for tethering just for adding music to my sdcard, crap like that
if you are running Rc19 just plug it in via the usb cable provided and it should be recognized as a Removable storage device ..... and if you are running RC29 when you plug the phone in via the usb cable provided you will get a notification on your phone just pull down the notification window and select "usb connected" and the mount .....
It is the usb driver for windows. for android g1.

That won't help as it is for debuging only. To access the sdcard you just have to plug in the phone and it acts as a mass storage device that is picked up by any xp or vista computer.
well i plugged it in and windows recognizes the devise but its not showing anything on the storage card..
when you plug it in, did you either
A) (if you havent got your ota update) check the box for USB
B) (if you have the update) click the notification on the G1 and "mount"?

make sure the sd card is recognized on the device? try taking it out and putting it back in again
It works man...
I was having the same problem...I received the update OTA yesterday, and today I tried to import data from my PC and the PC prompted me to insert disk into drive"e"...there was an icon on the G1, so I pulled down the menu, and clicked on the usb icon, and responded to the popup box asking me if i wanted to mount the SD card, I clicked the mount option and presto!!!

good idea! tried it and still no workie. the G1 does see the SD card though. Called TMobile and they are replacing the device.
how do I work with this phone?
I first want to apologize 'cause I'm gonna sound like a mayor noob here but, My wife just got the g1 about a week ago and she wanted me to do some stuff for her on it , I have a Tmobile dash and she knows how much stuff I've done to it with my pc but when I tried connecting to the pc nothing happened, the phone shows that is connected and charging but I can't acess it on my computer. I did a search and found a couple of sites,forums,blogs, and I did the settings/applications/development/usb debugging, and got the windows installation wizard, but since I don't have a cd for install, it wouldn't go any further. I read you guys talking about a kind of driver that the pc needs to have. Did I understood right? Is the g1 capable of being viewd with the windows explorer like the dash to add ringtones, wallpapers, view folders from the pc? Any help would be apreciated , Thanks...

Talk about thread necromancy!
You can connect it to look at the memory card out of the box. Just pull down the notification screen or alternatively press Menu and select Notifications. Press on the USB notification and select Mount. You should be able to see the SDcard pop up in Windows' Explorer. Now if you're talking modding the OS for stuff like themes that you will have to hack your phone in which instructions can be found in the development forum thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442480
hello everyone !
i was looking for thread about my problem, i saw some similar problems, solved but not working for me..
i was connected to my PC through USB cable, transfering data few times, about 5 times, than i tried to connect to transfer some more data and nothing, on my tattoo there is just sign of charging and nothing else, no asking for type of connection, there is sound on my PC (connected something through USB ) and nothing else.. i tried to manually set for storage device, put to ask me each time when i connect via USB and still nothing.. also, tried USB DEBUGGING, it says that htc is connected to PC but PC is like dead..
i'm on windows 7 if that means something, thank you for you help
pls anything ?? i have pics to transfer to PC and mp3 for tattoo but i just can't solve this out :S
I had the same problem when I just got my first android. My first guess is - you accidentally killed PC Synchronization process on your phone. Reboot should help (at least it did for me).
I had the same problem and solved it!
put pc sync into taskiller ignore list...
how can you explain me please?

hi
also still have this problem the sync does not happen automatically so what i do is after connecting my phone via USB i go to the USB to pc on my Phone and click on the HTC sync and then the sync happens and i can do any kinda data sync needed try doing it it work for me
USB Debugging also has to be cheked OK
i also have a Wmo Jade this does not happen it sync imm but on the tattoo it always happens and i need to do the above to get the sync working
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?
Note: I can do everything perfectly fine with my Sprint Hero
Thanks

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
I am able to see and access the SD card at work after installing Samsumg USB Drivers under Windows XP, however I am not able to use adb to access the phone ... ahh, this is driving me crazy, I need to root the phone and install a custom rom ... >_<

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.

That worked, turning on USB debugging and switching to another USB slot. But, this is at work under WinXP. Now I need to make it work under OSX at home.
I'll try Ubuntu when I get home and see if that works...
Thanks

I know some people successfully installed Clockwork via Mac but I haven't seen anything about root. Instructions might be the same, files are obviously different, maybe it'll help you:

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 installed 4.1 today and when I plug the phone in to the computer it doesn't give me the option to mount it.
The computer finds the phone but will not read from it.
Are you using a generic usb cable or the one that came with your Eris.
When I use a generic usb cable, 95% of the time I can see the phone install but it is completely unaccessible as a drive. This happens with every rom including the htc stock 2.1

you really should post rom related issues in the rom thread
I've never had a problem mounting my phone with my monoprice or ebay usb cables. I was about to flash celbfroyo 4.1 though.

What OS are you using?
When you say the computer finds the phone, is that just a notification? Or is it listed with your drives or your devices? Does the phone recognize that it was USB connected in your notification shade?
I am running CELB 4.1. I just connected using a cable I have used before for this. Two notifications were added - one telling me that USB debugging is connected, and another telling me that "USB is connected - Select to copy files to/from your computer". Tapping that notification brings up the USB connected screen, with a button to turn on USB storage. Tapping the button mounts the SD card to my computer.
This is pretty much the way that CELB has always worked for me.
Thanks Doogald
Must have missed seeing that when I plugged it in.
Thanks a lot working like a champ now !
Sorry I posted this thread in the wrong place won't happen again
Anyone else having this problem? When your MT4G is first started the device is seen on your PC as Disk Drive but once you disconnected and try to reconnected later time it does not work as it only gives charging option.
By mounting and unmounted the SDCard, selecting USB connection type manually from USB setting does not help also. Only way to resolve this is by restarting MT4G fully as SDCard works again under Disk Drive without any issue.
I have not experienced this. I also keep my MT4G set to default to "charge only" on PC connection since it usually sits on my desk charging while I am at my PC. Very rarely do I need to hook up to move things on the SD card, usually I just do it across my WiFi and LAN with EStrongs file manager.
