JI6 Updated: Phone not syncing with Computer? - Vibrant General

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?

Had that after odin flash of JI6, restarted computer and back to normal.

[Q] Re-enabling the sync option popup on PC sync

Good afternoon
I've had my Streak now for a week, i'm using it in tandem with a HD2 but have not yet found the brass to make the complete switch between devices.
One thing I got used to on WinMob devices was enabling the Activesync option by default when I plugged it into the PC - rather than selecting if I wanted to use it as modem or storage card. Additionally, should I wish to change my mind, I know where to find and change that option.
This is something I can't find on the Streak. I can find the "Data Syncronisation" option in the Settings, but I cannot for the life of me find an option similar to the "Choose a task while plugged into your PC". If you don't know what i'm referring to yet, it's the popup which asks whether you wish to charge only, transfer media files or transfer any kind of file. I defaulted it to 3 and told it to never ask me again...
I've tried the Dell site but their forum seems to be more of a "I can't sync" thread rather than the issue i've got.
Any help would be appreciated.
Hi,
If you connect your phone and bring up the notification box, then select the USB icon, you will be prompted with the 3 options again, if you just select the option you want and tick the "Always perform this action" box again, then the phone will default to this action when you next connect the phone.
Hope that helps!
Thanks for the response.
On the Dell Streak I had to first 'disconnect' the USB Storage option by clicking the notification area, then go to the notifications area a second time and click the USB icon.
I know this is probably what you meant but I was puzzled for a while as the only USB option I had was to cancel the storage card link. Just thought i'd clear it up should someone else have this issue & do what I did.
Your help was well received, thanks.
No worries, I didn't actually think whether you were already in transfering mode and just presumed you were in charging mode

Vibrant won't mount to mac even with debugging

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
I found that the icons didn't appear in my finder side bar, or on my desktop. Open a finder window, click on the icon for your computer in the sidebar and see if it appears in there.

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

Perhaps it is a bad usb port or cable?

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.
-Phil
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.

Possible JI6 OTA bug, no USB mass storage option?

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
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
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.

[Q] No usb option prompt via Android.

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.

USB MTP/PTP Connection Problems to any computer.

Hello, I've had the V20 for a number of months now and love the phone, but I never tested out a data connection before, only to find out that when I use both the LG cable and a Anker USB3.0 cable, my phone is not able to connect to any computer. The system prompt to select the MTP or PTP connection appears, but after making a selection and the computer seeing the phone for a split second, the connection is lost and the USB prompt appears rapidly over and over again. I even went into developer options and set MTP connection always.
I tried a reboot, battery pull and capacitor discharge, and a full system restore. No fix. The only work around I have now is a samba server or moving files with the SD card manually.
Please, if you have any ideas? Does not work in Windows and Linux.
Thank you.
Have you installed LG bridge?

Did you enable USB debugging in Developer options? If no, enable it.
Change the power settings in windows for the USB.
Power options
Advanced settings
Disable "USB selective suspend setting"
Tried all the above

Yes, USB debugging works and I'm able to use ADB with my phone and both the Windows laptop and Linux Desktop. However, neither is able to reliably connect through the typical MTP and PTP methods. I finally got MTP to limitedly work with MTP when I use the LG supplied cable and ignore the USB connection prompt in Windows and Linux. I go straight to File Explorer and access the file directory of the phone. Every time I open a folder or access a file though, the phone rapidly pops up the USB connection message over and over while the file moves.
All third party cables and USB devices are not working other than just charging. In Linux, the error message in my logs is:
usbfs: process 20678 (mtp.so) did not claim interface 0 before use
reset high-speed USB device number 101 using xhci_hcd

Is this behaviour on accessing and copying? You can not copy a file from your Windows laptop to the phone?
Yes, I cannot open folder directories, nor move files from phone to computer or visa versa.
Also. Try to not let the phone screen turn off. Change display time to 15 minutes or something.. Change back when finished. GL

dbo989, did you resolve this issue? By any chance are you running avast mobile security? I was able to transfer files both ways via USB and had the pull down USB options without ever having to add USB debugging. Then I installed AVAST and USB has become charge only... none of the widely recommended solutions above will unlock USB. I see no apparent settings in AVAST so I will call them. If no resolution then I will trash Avast

No, I never could resolve it. I ended up using Samba to fileshare with home computer, but lost any OTG cable ability. Never used antivirus or security software with my phone.

Just fixed it... turned out to be the port on my PC, I switched ports and its back as it was, no need to enable dev mode or USB debug... its still slow connection... I have to look up Samba solution, never used it.
Thanks for sharing
I just experienced the same problem with the USB connection constantly cycling between being plugged in and not. Windows kept alternating between the device connected and disconnected system sounds. I unplugged the USB 3.0 to USB-C cable on both ends, unkinked and straightened it, and plugged the cable back into the PC and the phone. Hasn't made another peep for the last half hour and the phone is staying in USB file transfer mode. I wiggled the cable at the phone end and still no further disconnections. Maybe I didn't connect the cable securely at the PC end the first time.
This is the first time this has happened since I started setting up the phone this week, so I don't know what to make of it. Regardless, I need to order some more USB-A to USB-C cables since this is my only one.
USB File Transfer Issue - Resolved
Hi, I had the exact same issue with the computer not seeing the phone as far as files. I was still able to use ADB, Fastboot, etc, so I figure it was not a hardware problem. Tried two different computers as well. Every time I selected "File Transfer" in the USB settings, the phone would beep, and when connected to the computer, the computer made the usual chime. The phone would not show up in explorer still.
Previously this phone had been rooted, but I wanted to bring it back to stock. I had flashed the latest KDZ file. Then using ADB and Fastboot locked the bootloader. It seems that the USB issue happened after that. Here is what finally fixed it:
Turned on developer options the usual way (tapping build number in software info) and then turned off "Allow OEM Unlock." Then I turned off developer options. Still, no luck, so I then re-flashed the latest KDZ (H91820h) again, but this time with the bootloader locked.
After everything was done, I set the phone up again, and now file transfer works perfectly.
I did not want to chance locking the bootloader while the phone was still rooted. I learned the hard way about that, and nearly bricked the phone once before. Luckily I still had factory upload saved in the LAF partition.
Hope this helps someone out there.
Turns out it was not fixed permanently

After thinking it was in fact fixed, I rebooted the phone several times, turned off, then on, and all seemed well. Until the next morning. I turned it on, and the same issue happened again. No File Transfer mode to computer. ADB still worked. After being on for a while and getting warm, all of a sudden file transfer started working again. Rebooted, and turned on and off, and it continued to work. I figure its a bad part with a thermal issue somewhere so I put it in the freezer for 5 minutes. When booted up again, the same problem occurred until the phone warmed up. Weird? So I tried something completely different. I downgraded the phone to H91810p and tested again. It seemed to work fine. I put it in the freezer again, and the problem will not show itself. For whatever strange reason the problem appears to be heat related, and ONLY happens with the latest KDZ, Oreo 8.0 The only thing that I can theorize is that the SOC is bad, or there is a bad area of flash memory that is intermittent.
Does anyone have any clues? I am going to put it back in the freezer, go to work, and test again when I get home to confirm.
