When I first plugged in my nexus one, windows 7 recognized it and installed the n1 driver... but whenever I tried to mount the nexus one to access it's files, it wont let me; thus, I always have to manually remove the micro sd card and insert it to my sd card slot on my lappy to access it. ( Do keep in mind that I was able to mount my sd card at some point in the past. )
I tried turning on the the usb debugging mode while attempting to mount the sd card like some people suggested with no avail. Does anyone here know how to fix this problem? I would appreciate it very much if someone could help me.
Thanks,
Roxy
Uninstall the n1 driver and try again.

I did try doing that and it didn't work
I get a similar problem mine will mount and then automatically unmount so I cant copy any files to my n1
Use another usb port
Can't say I've ever had this problem before.
USB debugging enabled on the phone
drivers installed
and I can adb remount with any probs... :S
I have, I've tried 4 different port I have also tried on another pc and its the same.
I'm using Windows 7 64bit, no problems with usb driver and accessing N1 storage
try a different cable?

Restarting my PC, with the phone connected did the trick for me, I had exactly the same problem.

I'm not talking about ADB remount ^^; I'm talking about USB->SD Card mount.

maybe your nexus one usb port is goofed. i had that problem on a winmo phone after a while.
and, are you using the stock sd card supplied? or are you using one of the new fangled 32gb? i have a 16gb class 6 that has no issues whatsoever. try a diff sd card. otherwise, it may indeed be busted usb port
Or maybe you aren't responding to the "USB Connected" notification prompting you to "Select to copy files to/from your computer" ?
I doubt it's a USB port problem. I have the same issue with my nexus and windows 7 professional 64 bit. The same phone works flawelessly in XP mode on the same laptop!
So, it seems like it's a driver issue.
Cheers,
Stephane.
This is a common Issue on Android Devices
My roommate identified this issue on his Win 7 Home premium 64 bit machine, we found that when we hook up any G1 or Nexus to that PC none will stay mounted. It shows connected you choose the option to mount the phone will show mounted for a few seconds then will show not mounted and nothing happens on the PC. We have tried with 2 different G1's one rooted one not. Same with 2 Nexus One's, one was rooted one was not. All had the same issue. All of the phones will mount on other machines. We suspected the machine but there are no security settings active to prevent mounting and he is the administrator.
i had to install separate drivers by running devmgmt.msc, right click on nexus one, search for the correct driver in the sdk folder
the usb driver wasn't enough to do it. had to get drivers specifically for nexus one as well

When i try to mount my sd card to my laptop it just doesn't stay mounted. Right after i tap mount it dismounts. I had this issue on ALL 1.5 builds. When i connect to any other computer it works perfectly. Any ideas? i tried deleting the drivers and re-installing them several times that doesn't work. I think it maybe an error with my registry or maybe some software i have on here blocking it idk. This GeekSquad agent is officially confused
Registry? What is this nonsense? Are you registered as an offender and the court has mind control software installed on your computer? Best to wipe the thing clean and install Linux, then everything will work.
thats way to much of a hassle dont you think?
reinstaling the computer os to mount a phone? noo
there has to be a better way
but if ur meaning to do a fresh install of everything then formating and starting over will work
but whats prob the problem is that your drivers are conflicting with each other
i wish i could help but try to do a fresh wipe of your phone and see if u can install the drivers on your own...again
dumb question, but this isn't as well known as it probably should be. Does the laptop have usb 2.0 or usb 1.1/1.0? And if it has power saving options, see if it maybe toggles to the slower usb when that's on. I have an issue with usb 2.0 on my motherboard (something's corrupted/broken) and can't use windows with it active, so I can only use usb1.0...and the sd card starts to mount but then errors out.
Hope this helps, that's the only issue I've had and it's only happened on my home desktop, works fine on my wifes pc and my work pc.
the usb port only slows down when its not in use after a certain time
the bios is set up like that
but if ur usb is constantly slowing down you should either update your bios or update your system all together and change some advanced settings to keep the usb running all the time
I had the same issue after upgrading to 1.5 w/ apps2sd. I ended up having to upgrade the driver. Windows will tell you that your using the best driver but you will need the one that you would use for fastboot etc. BTW you can always just use your sd adapter and see if windows can read it that way and if it does your good to go. Also did you recently partition or format the card and how old is it?

Yea the sd card is perfect just bought a pny 8gb sd card $20 , but i have tried upgrading the driver to the fastboot drivers that doesn't help, i installed a clean version of windows on a separate HD and it works fine, so i know it's a software/driver issue on my end
btw all my usb ports are 2.0 guess I'll just use my sd card reader in the mean time hopefully new releases fixes this issue
hey guys i think i might have found a slight bug enabling usb i mean its not really any hack or anything but i went to boot android up when i clicked haret i instantly re connected usb when it got to the end of the haret loading (not linux) and i now have options for file tranfer but it doesn't seem to work but this is the first time ive seen any sort of usb symbol on screen.
any ideas about this?

yeah but it was saying i could use usb storage but that would make no sense because if it was mounted on a mac then android would just crash instantly because its running off the sd card. surely that means usb storage will never work until we are running it from a rom.

oh ok i just wasn't sure if i was the only one to have had this weird error thingy
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?

No problems here, but I usually leave it in Phone portal so I don't have to eject every time. Didn't have to install any drivers.

I bought double twist last night just so I could transfer music via WIFI. When I plug the phone in to my Macbook an autorun file mounts and gives me an .exe setup to run. But... Mac's don't like exe's.
My n1 would plug in and mount no sweat - so I'm not sure what needs to be done to this thing.
EDIT:
I should clarify that I have not installed an SD card. I'd like to figure out how to mount the internal 16G flash drive.

Enable usb debugging in settings>applications .. then connect the phone to your mac and set it to usb mass storage mode..
It should get mounted in finder at that point.

Hi
I've been using my Galaxy S as usual but today the phone/computer wont recognize it's connected as mass storage or kies.
There is no option on the phone to mount as it did before , all that pops up on windows 7 is usb drive not recognized
I searched on google and tried various things such as :
-USB debugging on and off
-Removing battery
-Trying different cable
-Trying different computer
-Factory data reset
-Formatting internal SD card
-Switching Laptop on + off/restarting
-Uninstalling/reinstalling drivers + Kies
I use the standard launcher and havent changed anything up to the point when it was working.
Does anybody have any suggestions. Im pretty sure its still in warranty however i purchased new on ebay last year so im not sure how all this warranty stuff works.
Do you use an external sd card? If so try this: put it out, turn phone off and on and try once more to connect

Yeah i think your external sd is ether corrupt or broken. i bet if you leave it out completly the phone gets recognized as it should.
Save your external sd data on pc (if you havent already) wipe your external sd and see if it works
If not you unfortunately have to buy a new one, at best from a different brand.

Did you update your firmware recently? I updated from 2.2 to 2.3.3 and it has a few issues, including not being able to connect as mass storage yesterday (though I had no such issue for the past few weeks).

After trawling google some post said that they switched on their bluetooth connection and then connected to mass storage and hey presto i did this and all seems to be working again. Seems very strange but for those of you who stumble across this thread.
Switch on your bluetooth and then connect the usb cable.
In my case it connected without issue.
Switched off the bluetooth and tried and it connected without issue...so it could possibly something to do with bluetooth who knows?
Appreciate everyones input thankyou
Hi!
I have the same problem. Windows can't recognize my phone, even in download mode.
I have tried the bluetooth on-off trick, without success. I have no micro-sd card in the phone. I tried on 3 pc, and in my Macbook Pro.
Can someone help me?
Thanks,

p.s.: Sorry about my english.
Have you tried with other USB cabel ???? I had problem with my USB and recognizing phone on pc, even with instaling drivers :-( (sorry for bad english)

Also been in this situation. Couple of things I learnt:
1. make sure you have a well charged battery
2. fiddle with the usb connection on the sgs: it gets loose and is not always good, press the cable up and see if the pc gives the usb connnect sound
3. uninstall the existing Samsung drivers and then re-boot, then re-connect the usb and let windows find its own drivers or install the latest Samsung drivers posted here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961956) -- but that guide also says, reboot the computer after installing the drivers prior to trying to connect the usb again. Its a windows thing: you must reboot after either install or uninstall the drivers.
Most probably it should be the USB cable, there is something wrong with your cable/port.
I had the exact same problem. I took my phone back to the dealer where the manager messed with it for half an hour. In the end he got it working by removing the sd card and power cycling the phone 3 times removing the battery each time. Presto, I haven't had the same problem since.

Sometimes a very careful tweak of the pins in the port can help, and it is not unknown for the soldering to be cracked, so both worth checking also a clean with a suitable cleaner can help
