Why does my phone lose the SD memory card when i plug it in to my computer?
as soon as i plug in the usb cable, my phone loses what ever is on the SD card, and when i unplug it, the phone recognizes it again..any ideas?
thanks
When you connect the phone to your computer the computer allows you to use it as a disk drive in which you can drag and drop files onto your device. For some reason while this is happening you can not access it through your phone.
Next time you plug your phone in to your computer and a window comes up asking for activesync, diskdrive etc, press nothing (the screen goes away after 5 seconds) your phone will be completely normal and charging nicely from the computer
happy ending isnt it?

use the phone with activesync and not as a disk drive. .
You have your usb mode set as "disk drive" on the phone.
When it's so, when you connect USB the card is unmounted from the phone's OS so that the PC has direct access to it.
thanks,
where can i change that option? Is it possible to have the phone plugged in to a PC and watch a movie or music off the SD card?
Yes, if you choose activesync mode, as he said above. It normally asks you everytime you plug the USB calbe, but you most likely chose disk drive and checked the "don't ask again" checkbox. You can change it on settings tab, menu->more, connections, USB to PC.
ok, so my next question is, does activesync support windowsXP 64?
thats what we use here at work, and its giving me error messages when i try to use activesync.
What errors?
By default under Windows the software used to manage phones, which is called Activesync on XP, or WMDC on Vista/7, is not installed.
So if you plug the phone in ActiveSync mode on a PC that doesn't have it you'll see missing driver errors. If all you want is to charge the phone you can just ignore them, if you want to access the card/internal memory contents you need to download and install it.
My problem is, when i connect phone to PC with activesync and disconnect it, its working properly after this and i can use SDcard, but when connect it to pc like disc drive after disconnection off cable my phone dont see sdcard. This happening after ROM upgrade from 1.48 to 1.66. Can somone help

I have a HERM 100 and need help installing movies or music in the phone. I have the activesync program and when I connect the usb it says i have to download the program. I already tried deleting and reinstalling the program but my phone still won't read it.
Is there any other options to install movies or music in my phone? Please help! Thanks!
if you are using a microSD card then all you have to do is use the adapter that came with the card and copy the movies/music onto the card from your PC then insert the card into your phone.
and if that doesnt work then make sure you have the "allow USB connections" box ticked in the connection settings on activesync. you may have to restart both your phone and your computer for the changes to take affect.
Since from the first use of device I'm not be able to access contents of sd card from pc. I have installed the latest version of htc sync available in htc' s site.
When I check the option disk drive from USB to Pc, I can see the new removable disk in file explorer, but I cannot access to this disk.
I always get the error: insert a disk to the drive M (translated to english cause my pc have greek locale).
Have anyone else this issue?
Have you tried to read the SD with an external reader?
I'm also had this problem.
I did simply repair the HTC Sync.
Restart the pc.
And then connected worked.
Some how the problem solved. I tried a lot connect disconnect, close and open htc sync, and suddently I get access to my sd card. I didn't do something different from the other tries, but this time works. First time after a lot of tries and reboots the last couple of days.
Connecting as Disk Drive is not accepted easily. I think it is always required to activate USB debugging mode first. So, simple way is first choose HTC sync mode on the phone, after it get connected change to Disk Drive mode. It works..
Thanks for the tips.
Sometimes don't work though. Needed to connect/disconnect several times to work properly. Sometimes when I connect the cable, the popup window doesn't appear(I have checked the asking option) and sync doesn't work too. And after some tries when connect the cable the popup appears and work both sync or disk option.
faulty cable perhaps?
I'm still using the charger and USB cable from my i-Mate K-Jam - works like a charm!
hi, mates
i faced with a problem on my hero,
it doesn't connect to PC.
after cable's plugged in, sometimes I see mode selection dialog, sometimes - no, but in any case, PC writes : usb device is not recognized.
sometimes i see removable drive win explorer, but after clicking on this windows tells me - please insert disk into this drive,
and hero detaches mounted drive with notification about preparing sd card for usage.
i faced with with problem not after next flashing custom rom, but after that i tried to wipe data and flash various roms, the same result.
how do you think this is hardware issue? or recommend me to try another steps to fix this, please

use usbdeview to remove anything HTC then reboit,don't let windows install anything from Windows update
Thank you,
I've tried this solution,
but it doesn't work completely.
Actually, I've tried to connect my Hero via usb with XP, Vista, Ubuntu, OSX
and got the same problem,
host loses the connection to hero,
sometimes host can't connect after plugging cable ,
sometimes host can transfer small files, but when I try to copy large file to the device and host loses connection during the copy process.
looks like a problem with usb connector/controller on device side,
like power trouble, low voltage on usb
your opinion?

Hi,
I have a strange problem when I try to connect my device to the PC.
After I installed Kies for the first time, the PC recognized my device one time. After I had removed the USB connection, when I try to reconnect the device, the PC did not recognize it.
I tried to reinstall Kies, install drivers without the Kies, I rebooted my PC everytime - nothing worked, it still did not recognized.
The only thing that work is a System Restore which I did on my PC (for before I installed Kies for the first time), but then I got the same problem - for the first time I connected my device after the Kies installation, the PC recognized my device, but after I unplugged and reconncted the USB cabel, the PC did not recognize my device, again.
Meanwhile, my System Checkpoints on my PC where deleted (I guess because of the System Restore), so now I can not go back to square one again.
I tried to find identical problem in the forum, but I did not find one.
My operating system on my PC is Windows XP, 32bit (I do not have access to another operating system, surely not on a daily basis. If it is necessary, I will try to find a computer with another operating system).
The Kies version which I installed is 1.5.3, the most updated as of 31/10/2010, downloaded from the official Samsung website.
I do NOT use LauncherPro, or any other launchers for that matter (I only installed a few popular games, from the market, on my device).
Thank you!
Yuval.
Try removing any media which might be there on your internal sd card. If that doesn't work then try and format the internal sd card. Certain apps like winamp too prevent the phone from connecting to the pc. It sure did work for me. Hope it does for you too.

I did transfer some .mp3 and .wma files from my PC to my "media" folder in my device through Kies in my first (and successful) connection.
However, deleting them (+ reinstallation of Kies + rebooting of both my PC and my device) did not help, and my PC still does not recognize my phone.
How do I format my internal SD card?
Thanks!
if you have any other devices like printers, external hdds, etc connected, remove them and connect your phone.
Go to settings, sd card and phone storage, internal sd card. Unmount internal sd card and then format.

The only devices that are connected to my PC are the screen, mouse and keyboard. Should I remove and reconnect them?
Do you get the usb connection sounds when you connect and disconnect your phone to/from the pc?
It is all OK now .
The problem was two bad USB ports. It took my some time to cosider the posibility that both of them do not work well. Using a third USB port fixed the problem.
For all of you - if the phone uploads the "Kies" screen (the blue one) when connencted, it is probably the USB port or the USB cabel to blame.
