I have a windows xp and am unable to mount my sd when my phone is plugged in via usb.. i had this problem with my mytouch but it ended up being the usb cord being to long, got a shorter one and it worked.. i plugged it into my ps3 and the phone instantly gave me the option to mount it.. when plugged into the xp it find the new device "nexus one" and doesnt have the drivers for it.. i can plug my g1 or mytouch and it lets me mount cuz the drivers installed correctly.. anyone have any ideas why its doing it or have the driver i can point it to so itll work? thanks

I apologize in advance if this has been answered already but my search revealed nothing.
Question:
Does Microsoft Outlook need to be installed on a computer before that computer will recognize the phone so the SD can be mounted for file transfers back and forth?
I have tried to mount the SD on my wifes' HERO with no luck while its attached to her lappy. She does not have Outlook installed on that lappy. I do however on my pc and my pc recognizes the phone, allows me to Mount and Un-Mount the SD and transfer files. Anyone experiencing this?
Thx in advance Y'all......

No, Outlook does not interact with Mounting your Hero. All that is needed is HTC Sync/Phone drivers installed.
Thats what I thought but for some reason, even tho the proper drivers are installed, still no Mount.
What is happening is:
When I mount the SD, the phone mounts, then unmounts over and over again. Only does this while connected to the wife's lappy. Also, in the Notification screen, Mount flashes on and off as the phone mounts and unmounts.
When connected to my pc or lappy, all is normal and works perfectly. Kinda baffled.
Any suggestions.
That is weird. Mine mounts to my work computer just fine even without the drivers and HTC Sync.
YUP, Mine does also on my Lappy, Work pc and home pc. Tried on my wife's lappy and used 3 different USB cables and tried all her USB ports. I am really baffled.
Any help, thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated Mates
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?

I have my Samsung epic installed to my computer.
-SAMSUNG Android Composite ADB Interface: installed with Samsung drivers.
-SAMSUNG Android USB Composite Device: Installed with Samsung drivers.
-Android UMS DISK USB Device: installed with two Microsoft drivers.
No matter if usb debugging is on or off, when i click to mount/transfer sdcard files nothing happens. When usb debugging is off it says autoplay, but no folder opens after that. Should their be a google or android driver signed with the ums disk usb device.
Im running 32 bit windows xp. Please help me, i cannot transfer any files, and ive been wanting to learn how to root but i cant do anything If i cant even mount my sd card properly
I have Xp too and idk when but i used to have 0 problems using USB Mass Storage Mode and all of a sudden, idk , what i did but it doesn't work anymore. I know it's my PC /setup because I take my phone over to my friends Vista PC and it goes into USB Mass Storage Mode just fine. Everything is already installed on their PC cause they have an Epic as well. A tmp solution that has become a permanent one for me is to download the Dropbox app and create an account and well there you go. Mass storage mode in the "cloud" for ya.

I had the same problem with my desktop. Only connects with USB ports from back of computer. Try some other ports maybe.
I had the same problem for about 2 months, best solution is to buy a different cord, I use the Evo's and it works fine
Assuming you aren't using the ghetto cheap cable that came with the epic, i would use another port. I had the same problem with one of my pc's.
i just got my epic fri and am experiencing this problem. i also went and bought a new usb cable and nothing i seem to do works.
it also interferes with my usb wireless adapter. when i plug it in my internet just comes to a halt and then comes right back to life as soon as i unplug it...

what kind of usb u have Cuz the samsung USB Brakes Real easy U should Try HTC USB Or Just Buy another like I did
When using the stock samsung cable, i have to plug it into a usb port in the back of my computer, when using the htc evo usb cord I can plug it into any port but still am faced with the dilemma. Is there a special driver associated with android ums disk drive besides the ones microsoft provides?
I am running streakdroid 1.91 and USB only works to charge the Streak.
Nothing else happens --- I get no USB Mass storage icon and my computer does nothing when I attach either the USB cable or the home dock via USB.
Fastboot USB detect also does NOT work -- it just hangs.......
Other than charge the computer, USB does nothing!
Any ideas? Please?

Have you checked to make sure you don't have an unrecognized device in your device manager? Most of the time the problem is simply drivers, could possibly be the cable, and hopefully it's not a hardware problem
usbdisk - enables auto mounting of usb drives using host mode - also mounts ntfs drives but breaks usb to pc mounting of streaks sd card.
last time i got that issue was when i flash a new rom with the above option.hope this helps.relook into your install.txt while flashing.
I had a similar problem and I was using one of the Dell ROM's. I was never able to fix it and spent about a frustrating hour on the phone with Dell Support (them telling me that there was a problem with three different computers and suggesting that I didn't understand how to plug in a USB cable). They eventually replaced the hardware.
So i recently got my razr m. I was going to put some music on and stuff, so i installed the right drivers, restarted my computer, and i plugged my phone in and all i get is it say "mtp device" over and over. I cant acess my internal storage. How do i fix it.
And P.S. yes i did try all the usb ports on my computer
