Mac Connection

Anyone else think that it is a disgrace that at launch the only way to connect your galaxy s to a mac is through turning on USB Debugging? How did they let this flaw get through? Also what annoys me off more than anything is that I'm still waiting for them to fix this problem! It's not a hard task to turn debugging on, it's just that I shouldn't have to!

Yup, annoys the crap out of me as well.
Makes me mad when I forget to disable it and plug it into my work PC and Windows throws a wobbly about drivers.

My HD2's screen won't respond.

This is my second one. The last one had the same issue. I've never dropped it. Help...

Pull the battery and try to load it back up

Did that, sorry should have said in the OP. I even tried installing different ROMs.

Do you have BsB tweaks installed? If so, go in that app and turn off the "tap time" setting...that's been known to cause this type of symptom.

Nope, and I wouldn't be able to anyways, unless I can finally get application that allows me to control the phone from my computer (shoot, I can't remember the name of it) to work. The touch is completely dead.
EDIT: Shoot, never mind I think I do have that installed. I'll try that.
MyMobiler! That's it.
Nevermind, I installed a different ROM so any settings were deleted, right? That can't be it. Gah it's happened every two months.

The latter.

I have what sounds the same problem
the other day I noticed that it was starting to play up, and then the touch screen just would not work. It shows the screen but there is no response on touch HELP anyone

Press the end or back button fairly hard. Sometimes that seems to make it work again for a while, then call HTC and see if they will warranty it, they did mine.

where is my mass storage

i flashed 6.1 stable and i don't see any notification when i plug my usb to the computer. i went through every menu in the settings and don't see anything. whats the deal?

there should be a notification when you plug in. Slide down the bar and click on it. there you click on the button and it should mount your card.

If you already have the drivers on your pc then wipe and reflash

[Q] Unfortunately Plug & Pop has stopped

This is the error I get when I plug in a USB cable. Doesn't matter if I'm just charging or transferring files. What is Plug & Pop? And why has it stopped?

It's the pop up that appears when you plug in headphones or charge phone. It appears at the bottom of your phone on your navbar. Mine had this error after I installed and used GMD Hide Navbar. I'm not sure but I think it may have gone away. It's definitely related to modifications you make to the navbar experience.

Ah, that makes total sense. Thank you. I did just install GMD. I wonder if there's a way to stop it from happening.
EDIT: I figured it out. There's a setting inside of GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys that spoofs Android into thinking the soft keys are visible.

I'm not 100% sure. But I'm using GMD still and it didn't crash the last 2 times I charged it. So, maybe do a full reboot, and give it a few days.

It started happening after I uninstalled maps and street view. I don't have GMD, whatever that is.

Oh that's a solution too.
Just a question for you - does that remove the headphone icon from the status bar or does this only remove the animation that occurs when you plug headphones or USB cable in.
Thanks.

Still shows headphone icon. Not near computer to check USB.
Ok, USB icon still shows too. And phone still vibrates when plugged in, just doesn't have that animation and pop sound.

Really wish there was some way to get rid of the headphones icon. I know when I have headphones in - it's quite silly.

Thank you!

You're a lifesaver. I'm a fanatic when it comes to stupid little animations.

Hi guys,
I made Xposed Mod which fix this "Plug & Pop" FC. Give it a try, if you are using Xposed:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2549002
You can un-freeze it and see again all that animations and choices this LG tool offer.
Btw. I'm not using GMD, so I will be happy to hear if it work with GMD as well.

Same but different

I get this error if I plug in earphones and tap the "Edit" button from the menu that comes up.
Alternatively, If I got to Settings > General > Accessory > Earphone > Edit App Panel, I get the same message.
In summary, I am not able to edit the plug and pop earphone apps. Any ideas? My phone is not rooted.
UPDATE: Edit button in the USB plug and pop also has the same issue.

I've got the same issue. It's frustrating that there isn't much information on this online. That's the price we pay for not sticking to the more mainstream iPhones and Galaxys

Sorry for bump, but same message here, Xposed instaler modul from above is not working for me, any solution ?
P&P for USB is working but for earphone is not work got stop message, is no matter if I disable or enable Settings>Accessory> USB storage or Earphone ON or OFF is always same , USB working and earphone not.
My phone is rooted and for some minor fix use G2 TwaeksBox, it's KK 4.4.2 and LS980ZVC
Thanks

Black screen and no functionality but want to pull data

Hi i dropped my phone and the screen is black. I know it still works because the fingerprint still vibrates and the pc still recognizes it via charging method. I have some important photos that i didn't have backed up and now wish to recover. Can somebody show me steps to get into mass storage ?

Did you have USB Debugging enabled in the developer's menu before the screen went black?

Very sadly no I did not. Can I enable it via abd?

Not that I know of. You might want to try Huawei's computer program HiSuite and see if it can connect to your phone without you changing any options on your dead phone screen.

In general, you can. You'd need to have ADB enabled though. You'd use the ADB pull command.
If anything, are you on stock with stock display size? Do you have apps that keep a persistent notification?
If not, I'd say you could try this;
Basically get someone to match your setup. They'd install any apps that you use which use persistent notifications to exactly match your setup. If none, have them take a picture (with an actual camera or another phone) of their 6P with the notification shade pulled down while plugged into a computer. Then another picture after they click "Charging Only" to switch it to MTP. If you can unlock the phone with the fingerprint scanner, and start up top to pull down your shade, you should be able to follow visual queues to enable MTP instead of charge only mode. Then you could at least navigate the folders on the phone and drag and drop your pictures to PC.
Edit: Assuming your screen still responds to touch, but is just black. Didn't see it specified. It's worth a shot.

I am on stock and all that with no persistent notification and have tried to match it exactly with my brothers phone (same) but i don't think touch functions are working....it should be an easy change to switch off of Charging but touch must be down.......!

My device doesn't have USB debugging enabled but I can access it via fastboot! What are the chances of pulling images via fastboot?

None, AFAIK.

God you people....if you have TWRP installed as recovery.....do this until it works right...timing is everything...hold the power button down(I know you won't know if/when it powers off) and hold down the volume up and power button when you think it powers up....volume up and power enters recovery directly, not bootloader....then you can connect to computer and transfer as twrp has adb enabled by default

No need to be so condescending. Especially since you offered OP a useless tip.
Why? As stated in their 1st post, their fingerprint scanner unlocks the phone. You can't have a fingerprint set without a pin, password or pattern. Since TWRP does not support fingerprint unlock, they would have to manually input their password for TWRP to access their data and have it show on a PC. As mentioned by OP above, the touch screen is non responsive. Meaning they cannot input their credentials to decrypt.
Edit: Just to confirm, I went to recovery and tried myself. Folders will not show up in file explorer on PC until TWRP is unlocked. ADB devices does show device ID as in recovery, but issuing ADB pull commands does not work. I pulled several folders and all I got was empty folders with no files. If they're encrypted (they said stock, so I'm just going to go ahead and assume they are encrypted) with password/pin/pattern (which we've already established is the case) this will not work.
@OP, I'm not sure of a way you'd be able to get into your pictures at present. Maybe someone with more technical knowledge could chime in, but as far as I can see you need to replace your screen. Either send it in to a repair shop, or DIY.
Here's a link for a new 6P screen (this is just the first link I found). Shop around yourself, see if you can find better prices & also be wary of reviews:

so i have used a usb-c hub with an hdmi port and usb port - then hook up phone to a monitor (not computer) and i had a pattern lock - it was really annoying as i had to guess where the dots were as the monitor doesnt show you where the dots are - but i used my mouse to unlock it - if you have a number lock it is easier to unlock - as you just makesure numlock is on then type in your passcode - once there you should be able to navigate round your phone using a mouse - turn on debugging and make sure you have the usb connection set to MTP (media transfer protocol) instead of charge only - id also take off all locking mechanisms to make it easier for yourself - then plug it in your pc and transfer all files across
