i cant see anything in windows explorer...it pops up with "please insert disk into drive e:"
what gives?
when i go to "safely remove hardware" it shows that this is indeed the android phone. what to do?
You should have a notification at the top of your phone (usb symbol). Drag it down and tap the USB connected bar, and tap Mount on the bottom. Your good to go.

Me too. Additionally, anybody know a fast way to switch between USB sync and USB drive modes? Going through the settings every time a want to move a file to the device (fast) is annoying.

Hi All,
What is the secret to synching, or even seeing the Nexus One in a Windows Vista PC? I've connected the phone but the OS is not seeing anything.
Any ideas?
Cheers,

On the status bar, it'll say "USB connected. Click to mount" or something like that.
Click it and it'll mount as a drive. Don't forget to eject or "safely remove usb device" before taking it off.
I have gotten to the point that when I plug the Nook Color in the two drives show up. If I go to "Safely remove hardware" it sees the Nook. However if I access either of the "new" drives that relate to the Nook I get the message to install a disk. Additional information: Windows 7; adb device sees the Nook. HC on sd card and works fine. Bottom line is the computer sees the nook but will not access it.
Tap to turn on the USB Mass Storage on the NC.
You should be seeing new icons in the status bar when you connect the USB. Open up the status bar notifications and enter the USB Connected tab, in there turn on usb transfer and should be able to access the sdcard
When I plug in the USB I get the ding but no icon. I am going to replace the cable as it is now bent a little at the micro end. I live in the country but have reserved a new one to pick up tomorrow in town. Will try again and see what happens. Thanks.
after flashing new cm10 when i plug my tab via usb into computer it only charges it, but it doesnt recognize it so i can transfer files. anyone know how to fix this?
settings>storage. Click on the three button icon in the upper right hand corner. Press "USB computer connection." Make sure Media Device (MTP) is checked. Go back and your pc should recognize it.
Hi everyone,
My mother is the owner of a Huawei P8. She used to use the phone as a second hard disk but lately she touched something (and she does not remember what) and the phone is set to charge only when connected to the PC.
At the moment when the phone is connected the computer neither the computer or the phone seem to recognize each other. I went through almost all the settings but couldn't find ANYTHING on how to make the computer react to the phone. Moreover in the developer options of the phone USB debugging is greyed out, totally inaccessible.
If possible I would like NOT to have to root the phone or do strange installations. Online the only kind of answer I found was that I have to do a hard reset of the phone. Is it true?
Thank you for your help and patience.
Best regards,
Vanja A. Mariani C .
When you connect the P8 to the computer, it will appear in the notification bar a mention to the USB connection.
It has a blue USB icon and it shows "Photos", "Files" and "USB unit" (or somewhat like that). There is an small text there that states "if you don't select any mode, the device will only charge". Probably your mother put accidentally her finger over the "Files" option and this notification works like a On/Off switch .
If you want to use it as an USB drive, just put your finger over "USB unit". This mode is like plugging a pendrive to your computer (apps on SD
card will force close). Alternatively, you can put your finger over "files", and the SD card will mount in MTP mode (slower, but doesn't close the apps).
See my screenshot (it's in spanish, but you will quickly see what I mean).
Cheers.

If im correct the solution is:
Deactivate Developer options and then reactivate it again.
Then the USB debugging option should work again.
