Is there a way to prevent the Vibrant from unmounting the storage every time I plug in a USB cable? I don't need to transfer files from my power plug, and when I want to charge my phone from my computer, it stops my media player/everything else until I go turn the USB connection off. Super annoying.

There is a few different options, you can try each to see which works the best for you. Probably Ask each time would stop any automatic stuff from happening,. But its up to you.
That's what it's on, and it still does it.
AHA! It's not the droid system at all, it's DoubleTwist.

Yeah I had that problem too when I "had" double twist installed

Is there any way to have the HD2 sleep after it's been idle for a couple minutes? When not connected to usb, it sleeps fine after the configured time, but on usb, it never goes to sleep. The screen only dims.
I think, by default, the screen will stay on for 30 minutes when connected to power.
this settings doesn't help?
Well i think this is more a feature than a bug... Imagine you are transferring big amounts of data to your SD-Card via USB and the HD2 would go to sleep, the SD would disappear and datatransfer would be stopped. The same would happen while you are syncing your device...

Agreed. I guess thats just how the HD2 is. Maybe I'll just charge it on the regular wall charger.
that's not to say you can't decrease this time or just press the power button when ya plug it in 2 turn off the screen.

this was the answer i was thinking about
or, are you saying it powers off fine when connected to a wall charger and acts differently if connected to a usb data cable?

That's it. And it's normal, as when connected to a computer it's either for activesync, disk drive or internet sharing, and in any of these cases you wouldn't want it to go to standby randomly, so it doesn't.
Just press the power button.
I'm interested too.
If I press the power button in my Leo while connected to my PC via USB, it sleeps, but then it turns on again.
So about 2 days ago I threw some songs onto my DX and ever since, it won't let me change usb mode back to charge only. It says it's set to charge only but when I plug it into the pc usb port I can browse as if it were mass storage. This is a problem because I've lost pictures and songs in the past by having it set to this option. It also takes forever to scan the entire 20GBs of storage I have on there after each disconnect making my phone pretty much unusable for an hour. Anyone know where else I can set the USB mode aside from the drop-down?
I had a problem with the phone never being able to be set to Charge Only and I finally figured out what it was.
I had WinAmp installed on my phone and there is an option to auto-mount when USB is connected, this setting takes effect even if the phone is set to Charge Only.
So if you have WinAmp, or another program that does an auto-mount on USB connect, find out which program it is, and un-set the option
Didn't want to make a mess of this issue but I had noticed this since the OTA Froyo update...
i had the same problem but mine was a bad usb cable
So I don't have winamp....and the stupid phone corrupted my entire sd card and froze repeatedly. I used recuva to get everything back and it seems to be working ok. I haven't plugged it into a pc yet.

Hi everyone,
Recently, I tried to get my phone to tether using these directions: (can't post the link yet, but these directions are kind of universal)
2-On the phone, go to keypad and dial ##634#, then press the [Call] button.
3- A diagnostic mode screen in gray will show up.
4- Dial *#7284#, and press the [Call] button.
5- A Microsoft USB Test screen will show up which allows configuration of USB Path Control settings (options available is Zune Sync; Modem, Tethered Call; and Modem, USB Diag).
6- Select Modem, Tethered Call.
7- The phone will automatically restart to activate the setting.
8- Connect the phone to PC with a USB cable.
..and so on and so forth
However, when I tried to put it back to the zune/sync, it wouldn't work. I go back to the menu where it gives me the three choices of zune; tethering; and USB modem, and it shows that the phone is on the Zune sync option. However, when I plug in the USB cable into it, the computer doesn't recognize it - there's no charging involved, and the zune software doesn't open.
Additionally, when I try charging it to the plug that came with the package, the phone doesn't recognize that it's connected to that either and it still doesn't charge. Does anyone know what the issue is here?
I've tried multiple times to go back to the Path Control Settings menu and switch it to Zune Sync but nothing is happening to remedy the situation. Any pointers?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
A long shot but did you by chance set the Zune software to sync wireless ? You may need to set it to No or turn off wirless Sync.
Settings>Phone>Wireless Sync
Make sure your phone is connected and sign into Zune. Again only a long shot.
I'm 99.9% sure I didn't set it to wireless sync. I turned off the wireless on my phone to conserve battery as well.
Also, in order to check the wireless sync setting I need to connect my phone, which I have, but the computer nor the phone has registered the connection. (No sound made on either end, and the battery charge icon isn't showing)
Thanks though! A long shot is still a shot!
edit: FYI, I'm running Windows 7 64-bit. I'm not sure if that had anything to do with mucking up my phone as it did...
This sounds pretty strange. I have been changing from Modem to Zune back and forth and no problems at all.
I guess a Hard Reset will do the job for you. But I am not completely sure. Good luck.

Do I understand correctly that you cannot charge the phone with the wall charger?
If that's the case, it's probably an issue with your cord or the mini usb port.
Did you make any other changes while in Diagnostic mode? If you're not sure, check out this thread.

Yes, you understood correctly. I cannot charge the phone with the wall charger. It's the charger that came with it, so it's the charger that has a USB port. I've also tried using different USB cords unsuccessfully. :-/
I haven't made any other changes while in Diagnostic mode.
A hard reset is a last resort. Although I'd still want to figure out why it happened as opposed to just figuring out how to fix it to prevent something like this in the future.
Thanks guys!

I think the mini USB socket on your phone may be defective. Fortunately, the setup following a hard reset isn't nearly the task it was on WM...
So I tried a hard reset, and the thing still didn't work.
I'm assuming this is a hardware problem. Thankfully AT&T has the whole 30 day exchange thing going on.
They couldn't fix it there, so they did exchange it for a new one. The new one works. So yay!
Thanks for all your input peoples!
Today my Epic no longer mounts for some reson to anything,i tryed pc and ps3.
It wont even show "usb debugging" and "mount" optioms in the pulldown bar!
Only thing it does is charges and orange led comes on when pluged in.
I tried swithing usb debuging on and off,tried with usb debugging off,cleared cache,cleared dalvic cache,pulled out battery and sd,mounted and unmounted sd,reformated sd,cleared battery stats and nothing!
It wont even show up under "adb devices",and I can switch "usb debugging" on and off while its pluged in-which is not normaly possible(it has to be unpluged first in normal circumstances).
Any ideas?
Not sure about the PS3, but for the computer try reinstalling the drivers and see if that does it. Do you know if you did anything to trigger this? Have you experienced any other bugs lately?

Well my stock went dead for no reason,then I used good thick usb that I got at radioshack and that went dead,now im using usb from my old Samsung Memoir which is probably the best cable out of these 3,but it dint see much use untill lately because its real short.
I dont think the cable is dead because the phone still charges-with my other two dead cables it didnt.
Plus I always had this cable pluged in ps3 for easy transfers between Epic.
I think it got something to with with my rom but I dont wanna reflash and waste 2-3 hours off setting up my phone just to find out that it wasnt the problem.
Another thing I noticed is that lately when transferimg files to ps3 it would just unmount in the middle of a transfer.

I would bet on that, the same thing happened to me the other day with the stock cable. Its only good for charging really

What was the end result of this? Did you get it sorted out?
My Epic started showing this same behavior yesterday. Not recognized in ODIN, ADB, Mass Storage mode or downloader mode. Tried three cables (two Samsung and one HTC) and four different computers and the result is the same: charges but not detected as a USB device.
Bad USB port on the Epic?
same problem for me
started having the same problem here after flashing back to stock ec05 from the new mtd cm7. im using the blackberry cable but it wont recognize my phone in odin or anything. i did everything correctly to get back to ec05 so i tried updating ota to gingerbread and it didnt fix it. only blessing is everything is stock so i can just take it into sprint but id rather not have to
i installed a file explorer program that runs as an FTP site...
and just ftp my files over...
maybe i'll setup soemthing with JPsoft.com's take command to automate it..
since it does batch file like ftp usage.
either that or tasker...
i'm a little disturbed at all the clutter on my sd card from various aps though.
I just rooted by phone with this method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45692679
(basically replace a file g2_security on the sdcard and reboot)
After the root was complete and I'd rebooted the phone a couple times, my USB connection keeps getting lost. This started exactly after the root, so I assume it's somehow related. Has anyone else seen this problem?
So far my attempt to fix it has only included disabling usb debugging and changing the usb mode to charge only. Other suggestions welcomed.
Try changing USB cable

I'm having this problem with one of my chargers, and when I plug the phone into a computer it says charging but the battery doesn't move at all.

Similar issue with mine after root. Regardless of what setting its on it will charge through the Aux but wont play music through apps like it did before in my car. Music will come out of the speakers but the car wont recognize the phone. Shows "AUX not recognized" Might go back to stock to see what it was.
I am having issues charging as well.
This morning the phone while showing the charge icon in the battery display only was at 55%. I noticed by accident that when the screen is off and I get a notification via text or mail that charging quits. The icon shows as if it charging but the red LED no longer is visible and if you have the screen on long enough the % begins to decrease. I have to unplug and plug again for the charging to take hold.
Would anyone else mind testing a text when the screen is off, charger on and see if this disables their charge?
My problem seemed to stop after a few hours.. I don't know what changed. The host computer didn't reboot, the phone did reboot maybe another time or two, the cable stayed the same. No idea what happened.
