Looks like a bug to me, Suddenly I do not see the "USB connected" message on the notification bar! I have to disconnect USB and change mode from mass storage to something else and then change it back then connect USB and it shows the USB connected message with mount option.
Never had this problem with any previous builds. Also, I see the accurate battery mod shows "plug" sign while USB is connected but no "USB connected" message or mount option!
Any comments people...anyone with this problem on JI5 leak?
Simple question first. Did you leave de-bugging enabled? I updated my device thru Kies (one of the lucky ones it seems) instead of flashing Eugene's or the Odin mount and I haven't had that problem. I think I saw someone in the orginal JI5 on Kies thead mentioned this too. I tried to replicate their bug but my seems to 100% good. What's your OS?
its a bug, with mine is seems to come and go

Thanks for the reply. I flashed it through ODIN on Windows 7. Also, USB debugging was never enabled in the process. It seems like a bug because it comes and goes, randomly. Maybe this was one reason Tmobile told us not to upgrade...

Good to hear I am not alone with this problem...thanks for the reply...
hopefully we'll find a workaround...
Just wanted to note here, flashed to stock, formatted internal sd card, upgraded to leaked JI6 and the bug still exists, hopefully OTA JI6 fixes this
Tried OTA, erased everything, flashed from scratch still the same issue...hopefully someone has a solution, if not then this adds another reason for Froyo update
That's wierd. I upgraded to OTA and problem went away for me.

It's not really a bug. There is an option under Settings > Applications > USB Settings. Mine wasn't showing up either so I swithed it to "Ask on connection" then plugged the USB back in and that worked. Then I switched it back to "Mass storage" and now it immediately gets ready to mount. I guess you just have to set it that first time.
Its a bug with leaked JI6. This thread started with leaked JI6... Think he recently changed headline. And you solution was temporary fix with leaked version problem would come back. Can't comment about OTA since the problem went away with mine

Ok, Well I can let you know that it doesn't come back with OTA. You should flash JI6 The other builds are buggy.
wow, for those who went all the way to reformatting internal sd because of this im sorry.
all you have to do is go to settings> app settings> usb settings> and change to ask on connection
thats it, i would not really call it a bug
oh yea, and thats with JI6

THIS solves it. Just did that and everything is back to normal. With that out of the way, this JI6 software is close to perfect (the RFS file system thing is the imperfect part). This is the software this phone should've launched with. Now if they can just go to a proper file system in their 2.2 update, Sammy will have a beast of a phone.
Thanks for the replies guys. I have set the default USB to "mass storage" instead of "ask on connection" as I don't want to make a selection each time.
Now, when I connect the phone I see USB connected and sometimes there is a USB connected message in status bar with no mount option and sometimes there is no USB connected message at all... now sure what's going on. I've been seeing this problem since JI5.
I've also read some threads about this in QnA forum..thanks...

Just for the heck of it, if you haven't tried already. Check off debug mode. Because when you plug in usb debug mode pops up and maybe usb will also every time
Thanks for the reply... Yes I now I leave the USB debugging to always enabled. This is the only way the USB mass storage option is always presented on USB connect.
Hopefully Froyo fixes this as I've seen some other people having the issue as well...
I have never seen this issue on JI6. It always pops up "USB Connected: Select to copy files to/fom your computer" in the status when I plug in the USB cable. It's never failed, even when I had USB Debugging off.

Just FYI, I was having this problem when I flashed the JI6 update via ODIN. Mounting would only work when I had usb debug mode on. However, I disabled USB debug mode and then went to
Settings -> Application Settings -> USB Settings
I then changed it from mass storage to ask on connection and then back to mass storage and it gives me the option to mount in status bar just fine when I connect it to the computer via usb.
HTH.
I noticed that after the update i don't get updates ffrom the market place anymore?
Anyone experience the same thing?
Are you using the auto update? I'm not sure it tells you if this is on.
When I connected to my mac (debbuging has to be left on) I get a menu to either connect to kies,mass storage and one other.

I have looked all over the internet and this forum and still haven't found an answer. I just flashed my MT3G with Cyanogenmod ROM few days back, today when i tried to mount my phone as an USB removable media and it won't show on My Computer. Anyone had this problem before? This is sort of annoying.
Thanks
make sure you do have internet tethering enabled.. Go to settings,wireless controls,internet teth make sure it is not checked if it is you won't be able to mount.. hope that helps..
I figured it out... I turned USB debugging back on, and it automatically popped back on my computer. I guess is one of those weird things.
I have turned on usb debugging and I have tried changing the usb settings and neither my phone nor my sdcard will mount. The "Usb Connected" notification appears and when I click mount nothing happens. Anyone else having this problem? I've tried just about everything. It mounts just fine on Windows but not on my mac.
I've got it rooted so if there is a way to manually mount it in terminal emu I could try that.
Any solutions? Or do I need a new phone?
I've also tried 2 different cables. Both of which work fine with other devices
Mine only worked when I did the debug mode, strange that yours is not. I am running an early 2k9 macbook with OSX 10.6. Sorry, I could not help more.

I'm on 10.6 also and everyone has been saying debugging fixed it for them but for some reason it's not working for me. I'll try on my brothers macbook real quick...
EDIT: Works perfectly on my brothers macbook running 10.6. I have no idea why it won't work on mine
I dont have that problem, I'm running 10.6 on my mac. if you try on your brothers mac and it doesn't work, the try a reset to your phone, maybe it will help you

Thanks for the replies. It works flawlessly in my brother's mac but not at all in mine. It shows up in system profiler and usb prober but not in disk utility. I have no clue what to do
Check your log and see if it was a driver issue.
Nothing even shows up in the log when I connect it. It's like it's not even happening. Yet it clearly shows in system profiler and usb prober and my phone prompts me for usb storage

I am having this same issue. When I plugged in my Vibrant I used to get a network adapter found and I would click cancel and all would work. One time I clicked to configure it an since then I cannot mount the file system anymore. I removed the network adapter in Network preferences and I still cannot mount the disks. I also cannot adb into the Vibrant either.
This works on all the other Macs in my house as long as I click Cancel to the network adapter found dialog.

I have searched and searched and I still cannot find a solution for this. I have 3 Macs and on two of them I have no problems connecting to the SD cards or using adb. On the 3rd one it was working fine until I pressed to open network connections when I plugged it in. From then on it stopped connecting to the SD cards even with debugging on.
Does anyone have a possible solution to this?
Thanks!

Please tell me you're a troll.
I'm having the same problem exactly as described. Used to connect just fine, but got the new network adapter message every time I connected. Removed the entry in Network Prefs so that message would stop, and now can't connect anymore.
Any ideas? Anyone? This is really frustrating. Now I can't change the music on my phone, nor update to Froyo.
Thanks.
anyone else having this problem? Before i was able to connect my phone to the computer and add/del the files to/from the phone's main memory and sd card. Now the phone won't show me the "mount / Unmount" option anyone (although it does play the ding sound when i connect it to the puter).....
nvm got it to work. Changed the usb settings to "ask on connection" and that did the trick for me.
I've the same problem... setting it to "ask on connection" is just a workaround... It should work with "mass storage" option set like it did on stock JFD.
I've had the same problem but it doesn't matter what is chosen under usb settings. After about ten to twenty minutes it finally pops up. This is very frustrating does anyone know a solution?

So basically. before I would plug my phone into usb and it would give me a couple of options. But now it plugs in, computer says "di dong" and the phone shows as charging.
But the phone doesn't ask for option, nor can I find a way to manually prompt it to.
help! (needed desperately for internet tethering)
had the same issue a couple of times
what i did was just unplug it again, wait a minute and plug it back in. The second time i would get the notification.
Maybe you havt to try another USB port on your PC.
Had the same problem.
Switched it off and on again. -> problem fixed
When plugging in your phone into usb, just go to settings-->Applications-->Development and check the USB debugging(uncheck and check it back it is already markeck).

If you can't mount SD Card and your pc doesn't recognise it then Your USB is bricked. There is a tutorial on the forums that will help you with that
Counterintuitively, the setting you're looking for is under Wireless and Network. Go to USB Connection and set it back to "Ask on connection."
this may be the cable error .change other one try again.

In the past I could enable USB debug and my USB storage would not auto mount to the computer it was connected to. Now no mater what I try with the S5 it will not allow me to disable this automount behavior, even while on the lock screen. I find this to be a HUGE issue with security anyone who can grab my phone can access all the files on it very quickly.
Has anyone figured out how to disable this?
Sorry if this has been asked already, I did search.

First you need to enable developer options by going to settings>about phone and tapping on the build number about 7 times, a pop up will come saying they are enabled. Then go there and scroll down and you should see it, about the 5th option down

Hmm, have you tried deselecting the options that pop up once you plug the USB into the computer? Should give several options of what you want it as such as installer or media, deselect both? Not by a computer ATM so I'm unaware of the detailed options.

I know how useless charging from a computer is the real intention is to stop a random person from just hooking it up via usb and downloading all my files. When I connect I intend to use storage mounted to the host PC.
Deselecting does not work by the way either MTP or PTP has to be selected and if you try to uncheck it stays checked at least that is the behavior i am seeing.

It may or may not but previous android versions allowed this behavior on stock roms. Took a bit of messing around but you could get it to stop auto-mounting, usually by enabling debug mode in developer options, that doesn't seem to be the case anymore .

If the screen is locked you should not be able to see phone or SD storage. Try this.
- Unplug the phone from the PC
- Lock the screen
- Plug phone back into PC
You should see the PC recognize the device, but when you click into it, it should be empty until you unlock the phone.
If you unlock the phone while plugged in. It will remember this until unplugged and locked again.
As far as I'm concerned turning the only real way is to set Windows to stop auto play for the device. However this would have to be done on any PC it's connected to.

Dennis, you are half right. USB debugging is meant for file transferring (but on a deeper level). It is more of a dev. tool then setting for the average user. When USB Debugging is enabled Devs. use it for establishing a connection Between the Android SDK(Software Development Kit) with an Android Based Device

Hi. I have the same concern with my Android 7.
I used to own, years ago, and Android 2 device and once plugged in to a computer by USB, you needed to activate the data transfer manually on the screen, otherwise it was charge only.
I wish Android 7 would behave the same way. It is safer : you may charge your phone on any USB slot and use the phone at the same time without being worried that somebody could be downloading your files and installing a back door.
