Hi All
Hope someone can help me out here.
I am having problem with connecting the USB cable for file transfers. It was working before until tonight. I keep getting this "initialising..." on the mobile screen when the USB cable is plugged in and it keeps flashing on the screen without establishing a proper connection with the computer. Kies has already been installed on the pc. Does anyone know why it's doing this? I'm unable to transfer files now and it's a problem for me.
On another note, is it possible at all to transfer files using the USB cable without installing Kies?
Regards

Yes. Go to USB settings and select mass storage. Your GS will connect as an external drive.

Sorry, I'm new to this Android thing.
How do you go to USB setting?

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?
I am running streakdroid 1.91 and USB only works to charge the Streak.
Nothing else happens --- I get no USB Mass storage icon and my computer does nothing when I attach either the USB cable or the home dock via USB.
Fastboot USB detect also does NOT work -- it just hangs.......
Other than charge the computer, USB does nothing!
Any ideas? Please?

Have you checked to make sure you don't have an unrecognized device in your device manager? Most of the time the problem is simply drivers, could possibly be the cable, and hopefully it's not a hardware problem
usbdisk - enables auto mounting of usb drives using host mode - also mounts ntfs drives but breaks usb to pc mounting of streaks sd card.
last time i got that issue was when i flash a new rom with the above option.hope this helps.relook into your install.txt while flashing.
I had a similar problem and I was using one of the Dell ROM's. I was never able to fix it and spent about a frustrating hour on the phone with Dell Support (them telling me that there was a problem with three different computers and suggesting that I didn't understand how to plug in a USB cable). They eventually replaced the hardware.
I just recieved a USB adapter that I bought from eBay ( http://www.ebay.ca/itm/200864679193?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 )
I have tried connecting a few USBs but none of them are working. It just says USB Connector connected. When i connected a logitech controller it gave me an error message that it was a high powered device. Not sure if there is something wrong with the adapter or if I need to instal additional drivers/apps to help with the mounting, or maybe change a few settings.
Can anyone verify if they can mount USBs on JB?

Nvm, I got it to work. Found a clue on a different seller's ebay page.
All you need to do is connect the cable to your device and restart it. Once it restarts, take off the cable and connect the desired USB device and connect the cable back.
Also, make sure your USB is formatted as FAT32.
This is what I found on the web:
" By default the Android device supports the FAT32 format only. If your flash drive is in NTFS
format, it will be seen as a blank drive.
For the first time to use the OTG cable, please connect the cable with your phone and restart the
phone. (Before you use USB devices to connect your phone, please firstly connect the USB
devices with the cable, then connect your phone.)
When you need to change USB devices, please unplug the OTG cable from mobile phone firstly,
then change USB devices, and plug in your phone."
How do I enable USB mass storage mode on my P-3110? I recently rooted, backed up to the tablet memory and now I want to delete what I backed up because it is just taking up space. Any help would be appreciated!

I don't have an SD card if that changes things... I downloaded USB Host Controller and it doesn't seem to be doing anything. It says "S3C USB Host Driver NOT found". I am also not seeing anything in ES File Explorer. Help?
I need your help please.
Do i have to root the device to use usb otg feature ?
I bought a USB OTG cable for this tablet but when i plug into my mouse or my flash drive, it doesnt react.
Is the cable defective?
Thanks in advance.
try a keyboard first
I've tried googling this, I'm finding a thousand articles that aren't related to what I want to do.
I want to plug in my phone via USB and be able to see what is taking up so much room and then transfer those files using my computer.
I don't want to connect it as a media device or camera.
I can't remember how I did that before or if I'm thinking of my old skyrocket.
PS. I booted to recovery mode and plugged it in, it's not recognizing on my computer in recovery mode.
USB Mass Storage was removed by Google in Android 4.1.2.

With the MTP mode (Media Transfer Protocol) you can transfer all types of files
Check the current USB settings with *#0808#
I use the program

But I guess that you can't use that for internal storage. Just USB mounted SD card.
