At some point after I perma-rooted my G2 and flashing bacon-bits my G2 goes into USB storage mode as soon as it's plugged into a computer.
Also, I don't know if it is related, the volume name is set to a stream of random characters "s2?:9y2% L&". Before it just showed up as a generic volume.
I //really// don't want this behavior because I tend to use adb to put files on my phone.
As to the weird volume label would it be safe to change to something meaningful with my computer or is it set by Android?
Do you have Winamp installed? That has a setting to auto-enable USB storage mode... drove me crazy for a week.

Thank You!
I would never have thought about looking there...
As to the weird volume name, I'm just going to turn my phone off and put the card in a sd-card adapter and see if the weird name shows up, and if it does, I'll just use mlabel to change it to "My G2" or something...
I had the same problem and just figured it out a few days ago myself, lol
Use PowerAMP! It's better IMO.
Yup, both WinAMP and DoubleTwist do this by default. Evil.
this was driving me crazy for the last couple of days!!
It wouldn't be so bad if the software, you know, mentioned at any point that it did this!

Just got PowerAMP. Very nice! I love the audio boost, and swipe control.
I'll have to try PowerAMP.
I actually like WinAMP now that I found the setting to turn auto-mount OFF!
Not that I don't think that they're boneheads for making that the default.
Wow, thanks! I also have both winamp and poweramp and never would have figured that out! Was so not understanding why it was doing this...

Oh wow I remember that WinAmp did this when I installed it initially, but totally forgot about it tonight when I flashed a rom and I was going insane looking for the system option for it. This thread FTW lol

I posted this problem on the CM forums as well, but thought there may be some more opinions on the subject here on XDA.
I don't know if other people with Mytouch 1.2 phones are having this issue, but every time i unplug my headphone from the jack, either the Google Listen app or the Music app will turn on and play the last item i was listening to. This happens even if i try to use a task killer to force close both. they always open back up and start playing again. this has happened on CM6.0.0-DS, CM5.0.8, Chromatic 4.5, and a couple other ROMs i've tried.
Is there something i can do to make this apps stay closed when I'm not using them? i already got rid of Listen, but i like listening to my music and dont want to have to uninstall the music app...
Open music and hit menu to get to settings. What all do you have checked there?

I guess since Chromatic is a skinned CM5.0.8, the problem would persist, but if its happening with every ROM, my only thought is that it might be the headphone jack itself not working quite right with the ROMs. i know CM6 is supposed to work with the Dream and original Magic. neither of which have a headphone jack. but thats as far as ive gotten in my thinking since i cant code or troubleshoot...

thanks for the infinite wisdom. I've tried using various ROMs. at the moment, there really aren't any MT3G 1.2 ROMs that aren't CM due to the phone's weird radio/board configuration.
I've got the myTouch with the headphone Jack and the only time I run into that problem is if I get a call while listening to music with headphones and unplug them to answer. But even then the music doesn't start playing until I end the call. Try using Advanced Task Killer or going to applications from the settings menu and force stopping the music app.

It looks like the problems are caused by Music Mod. I've tried Mort Player and the HTC Sense player and music doesn't play when I unplug headphones.

Try this ROM with the 32A kernel posted in Cyan's CM6 thread.
Everytime I connect my phone via USB cable to my PC it mounts the SD card in USB Storage mode.
Its not a deal breaker but definitely can be an inconvenience when trying to use the phone while charging on a PC (which is how I use my phone at work).
Anyone else run into and find a fix for this?
I kinda remember seeing someone mention a weird solution to a similar problem (maybe regarding PC charging?) that entailed changing the screen timeout.
Phone Info:
Droid 2
ROM: Fission 1.1 (installed last night over a freshly SBF-ed phone)
I see at least one other person is experiencing this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8747858&postcount=56
Tried swapping out SD card for a freshly formatted one and still seeing the same issue. So I'm going to rule out the SD card being at fault.

AngDroid, part of the development team (Team DeFuse), has asked that bugs in regards to the fission rom be posted at Droid Life. It is hard for the team to manage multiple forums. Please make a post here :http://forum.droid-life.com/viewforum.php?f=61&sid=799e04fe62c2af5a7682b052087fe5aa and you will have a greater chance at getting a resolution.
I had this problem this weekend, but I'm running the stock ROM.
Some googling didn't turn up much, other than that certain programs would cause this, none of which I had. If i had the original link I'd post it. I think i read a lot about it on the Incredible forums here.. maybe?
Anyway, the only thing I had changed recently was installing Winamp.
It turned out that it was indeed Winamp. Uninstalled it and all works fine now.
Grrr! Wish I had checked this sooner. I rolled back to a nandroid backup. I was getting so fed up with it not working correctly. Glad to know it wasn't the Fission ROM. Though I kinda didn't think it was since I was having that issue even before going from the beta to 1.1.
Oh well, guess I'll try it again later. Tired of going through settings for apps. For now.
Thanks for the response, Lithoss.
Wonder if the winamp team knows their app prevents charging the Droid 2 via PC? It's a great app otherwise.

No problem.
I dont think it prevents charging.... it just mounts it too when it shouldn't.
I emailed them about it through the link in the market.. so if they read their email they should know
You're right. It does charge properly. It doesn't allow access to SD card resources though. Which means no podcasts while hooked up via USB. Deal breaker!
Hope they get it figured out soon. That was a pretty sweet interface. I liked it better than cubed (^3).

This is toggleable behavior. Check the settings in winamp and you will see something to the effect of automatically mount SD card when connected. If you uncheck that, it shouldn't do it...
@natez0r - Thanks for the explanation. Guess this time it really is a feature and not a bug!
Guess I'll give winamp another shot since that "feature" can be turned off.

If I were to guess, it would be for making it easier to sync with winamp when you plug the phone into your computer. DoubleTwist also has this option, but i feel like it is more of a nuisance than anything.

Can someone tell me how to disable the "charging complete" notification? I charge my phone by the bed and it wakes me up every night. I have a non-rooted phone.
Thanks!
I think the only way to do it without any modification is to put the phone in silent mode.

You can also just delete the sound from system/media/sounds/blahblah (cant remember preciesly)
I have seen that too. But don't you have to be rooted to move system files?
it was
mv /system/media/audio/ui/TW_Battery_caution.ogg /system/media/audio/ui/TW_Battery_caution.ogg.bak
But i get an error that i dont have permissions.
I think you only have to switch off the system volume.

This app seems to be working so far. Can another non-root user test it also to confirm? I guess ill know for sure tonight when im sleeping.
root your phone...it`s a must if you want to enjoy it ...
I am thinking about it. Im just kinda scared since its my work phone.
JVH seems to have made this worse. Even on silent and no vibration, it will vibrate when charging is complete. Stupid!
Other stupidities: if th ephone is too warm, it will show a pop-up that charging is not possible. When that popup is dismissed, it immediately reappears.
And it seems the charging method is changed: I cannot use the phone as a music player in the car when it is connected to car power: a continuous clicking/scratching sound appears. Didn't have that on 2.2.1...
Whats JVH?
So I always experience music pausing for no reason every few minutes.. First believed it may be power saving but it happens if screen has stayed on and all.. Any suggestions

I haven't seen smart pause.. Smart stay and everything else I checked out and it's not causing the problem. I'm hoping it's not a hardware a problem. I'm going to reflash a different rom and see where it gets me.
This also started happening to me after last software update. Dont knownof its the app update or the phone os marshmellow update...

Hmm.. Not sure. All I wanna do is try to reflash rom but that takes a lot of backing up just when everything else is perfect.
Yea thats true. My gallery just started acting up too where half my pics appear to be half grayed out by a vertical bar.
Considering a reflash but to lazy to back up and ensure everything is backed up. Dont wanna miss nothing.

https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/help/audio-randomly-cutting-s7-edge-t3373944/post72126191#post72126191
Type of pause?
How long is pause?
Is it clipping?
Is it at a high volume?
Do you have any type of mono or Bluetooth apps installed?
Are you using WIFI or mobile connection for streaning?
Does it occur at certain locations or everywhere?
*Do you use OK GOOGLE or any similar Voice activated apps?
*Check your NOTIFICATIONS! Try changing SOUND NOTIFICATIONS to VIBRATE for all apps by going into sounds & notif in settings.. Change MODE to vibrate.
*Also try playing in AIRPLANE mode & do not disturb
*Does it occur when streaming to a tv or media device?
With these questions we can rule out various "connectivity" issues or interference as WELL as apps fighting for control over speaker or microphone, for notifications etc. As there are many
You should find the cause as with almost all media streaming apps most have options to go into a do not disturb mode as other apps utilize the same reaources resulting in conflicts like you described! After changing to VIBRATE notification mode and/or AIRPLANE mode, it becomes just a matter of narrowing down offending app.. Until then it will work at least!
HOPE THIS HELPS! There r days I need help! too
I had same problem and ı thought this problem can be related to an app ı installed. And it was. When i uninstalled Sputnik news. My problem had gone. If u have it, uninstal. If u dont have, may be one of other app causes. Try uninstalling each app, and find the app causes this problem
Ok, so you know how you can set a phone name for how the PC sees it, or bluetooth etc? Mine WAS LG v20...now it keeps resetting itself to the letter S. No idea why. I keep setting it back to LG V20, and it keeps going back to S. wtf is S!?!?
nobody ever got this?

...seriously, I'm the only one? it keeps doing it and idk what's changing it. it just renamed itself to S again.

S as the name or s as the drive?
Your computer is going to recognize the phone as a drive letter. A, K, S, Z, etc.... That part you can not change from being a single letter and into some long version name.
You can how ever give the S drive (aka....your V20) a description name.
Without having your computer in front of me. It almost sounds like your computer is displaying the drive letter and not the description name.
You'll have to right click on the phone under my computer. And then check out under preferences or settings I believe and see what your phone is actually set up as for your computer to recognize it.
s as in name.

Should have asked before.
Is the S only on the computer, or does it change the name under the phones settings> about phone?

S is storage. When you plug the device in, the device will ask if you want charging, file transfer, photo transfer, or the option to record sound from PC.
If you don't get any options, you must have made a default option.
