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 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
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.
My Galaxy Vibrant is driving me insane with USB problems. I bought mine about 2 weeks ago, and it connected fine to my PC. Then, out of the blue while turning it on it got stuck at the black screen with white touch lights on....after a few attempts to fix this, I returned it for a new Galaxy Vibrant. This new one will not be recognized by my desktop PC at all. It connects fine however to my laptop (same OS). I am trying to connect it as "USB Mass Storage" mode, without Kies installed at all (I've given up on this awful software). I've tried numerous USB Drivers that others have had success with but unfortunately they have not worked for me.
Drivers I've tried...
USB Drivers 1.3.170
USB Drivers 1.3.450
USB Drivers 1.3.800
Any words of wisdom are greatly appreciated.
Best would be to install and update kies so that drivers are the latest, then uninistall kies (or disable it, so you'd be able to update it without having to reinstall again)
Before that though, you might wana clean everything on the PC (ccleaner and glary Utilities might help you on that)
It seems that it was you or your PC problem rather than the phone.
mounting internal sd
Did you make sure to mount your sd when connected in mass storage mode?
slide down notifications bar -> select "usb connected" -> press "mount".
If you have done that and still no luck then I haven't the foggiest.
Try restarting the phone and then connect the USB. This technique worked for me.

What are classified as media files? This happened as soon as I got my phone...I haven't uploaded any music/videos and currently have no pictures.
Thank god for Froyo!
After updating my Firmware from my laptop (which would recognize my phone), I connected to my Desktop AND Kies with no issues
i was about too put some of my videos on the tab from my pc so i connected threw usb and it shows a cdrom drive wtf? And the files pop up but it says write protect than everything goes away.
I just tried a extra empty sd card and it does the same thing..
Anyone know whats going on?
all im running is baxbite kernel for the overclock which i been using for the pass week with no problems till today..
I guess no one knows? I looked it up and it seems like its a common problem but i don't see anything about anyone else having this problem with a galaxy tab except me..
Right now im using webhareing too copy my files over wifi from my home network and it works great but not as fast as usb
I just dont get it evertime i connect the tab too my pc it shows a cdrom than the files show up in it but i cant copy stuff over or even delete a file than 30sec later it disappears..
I remember that happening to vibrant phones. The external sd card wasn't mounted properly so the computer saw it as a cd drive.
What is your computer set up? A windows 7 pc installs the correct driver files. A windows xp pc needs you to get the drivers and install them. I pray for people with mac's.
Just search the general section for "windows xp usb drivers". You don't need to install samsung kies.
I don't know what happened, but I can no longer mount the SD card via USB. I've spent half the afternoon trying to fix the drivers, and I end up in the exact same place I was before.
I'm running Windows 7 64-bit and CyanogenMod 6 RC2 on the phone. I have ADB set up and, to my knowledge, the drivers for it are working. ADB devices recognized my phone.
When I try to mount the SD card, the phone shows "USB storage in use," but it doesn't show up on my computer. Normally I get a little popup asking if I want to open the folder to view files. In Device Manager, it shows a little warning on USB Mass Storage Device which I believe is the phone. If I right-click and go to Properties, is says "This device cannot start. (Code10)" (see first thumbnail).
Here's the weird part: If I boot into recovery and select to mount the storage card, it will mount (see second thumbnail).
Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance.
Did you try it with a different card? Or this card in card reader? You have to rule out simple things first, like weird card corruption.
I've tried a different card. No difference.
I uninstalled all the drivers and restarted my computer. When I plugged the phone in, I got the following message. Something called MTP did not install successfully. Anyone know what to do about this?
Well, after numerous cycles of uninstalling and attempting to reinstall the drivers, I still had no idea what the problem was. I uninstalled all the drivers and ran a utility on my PC to clean and fix problems in the registry. I rebooted it and then plugged the phone in. It installed the drivers and now both ADB and USB storage work.
Strange thing is, I don't see an entry for Android ADB Interface in the device manager any more. I see Android USB Drivers and the USB Mass Storage though, so I guess that's all it needs.
