so is there a way to read the files i have added after i connect my phone to pc as "hard disk " to transfer files ?
every time i add a file, i have to restart the andriod "phone" for it to see it.
if i try to remove the SD card while andriod is running. it will hang and i will have to restart.
is there some other things that can be done? like. media scanner for example.. will it work ?
thanks
Have you tried unmounting and then mounting the SD card? I don't know if it works or not, but it's worth a try.

Which build you are using?!?
In my build all i have to do is clicking "enable usb storage card" when plugging in pc! Then "safe remove" on pc, click "disable usb storage card" and everything works again!!!
Weird!

Use drop box app. Host your own files online and download them directly to your phone.
bangsters 1.5 supports usb mass storage
I'm only guessing, but it sounds to me that he's talking about apps like music and the gallery. They need to be refreshed somehow when you copy new images or audio files, and I've tried and can confirm that unmounting and then mounting does this.

Use swiftp to transfer files to your sdcard then you will be able to access them without reboot.

I am using Droid Explorer to place all the files on my phone.
Works like a charm No reboot needed, only the unmount-mount SDcard option afterwards.
Have a look at this - it may be just what you're looking for ...

Had the same problem, now I'm using an FTP server to make a connection to my phone and I'm transferring my files with Filezilla.

Hi!
I'm using HD2Froyo V3 on my HD2 and have a little problem. When I copy files from my pc to the sdcard on the phone, they dont show up when browsing with the "in-phone" file manager. My question is, why not?
Just to make it clear:
I connect the phone to the pc with the USB cable.
The SD card shows up.
I can copy files to it, make new folders in it, no problem.
But when i disconnect the phone, and browse around on the sd card, nothing the ive edited with my computer is there.
restart phone
Awesome, thanks alot!

Hi
I've been using my Galaxy S as usual but today the phone/computer wont recognize it's connected as mass storage or kies.
There is no option on the phone to mount as it did before , all that pops up on windows 7 is usb drive not recognized
I searched on google and tried various things such as :
-USB debugging on and off
-Removing battery
-Trying different cable
-Trying different computer
-Factory data reset
-Formatting internal SD card
-Switching Laptop on + off/restarting
-Uninstalling/reinstalling drivers + Kies
I use the standard launcher and havent changed anything up to the point when it was working.
Does anybody have any suggestions. Im pretty sure its still in warranty however i purchased new on ebay last year so im not sure how all this warranty stuff works.
Do you use an external sd card? If so try this: put it out, turn phone off and on and try once more to connect

Yeah i think your external sd is ether corrupt or broken. i bet if you leave it out completly the phone gets recognized as it should.
Save your external sd data on pc (if you havent already) wipe your external sd and see if it works
If not you unfortunately have to buy a new one, at best from a different brand.

Did you update your firmware recently? I updated from 2.2 to 2.3.3 and it has a few issues, including not being able to connect as mass storage yesterday (though I had no such issue for the past few weeks).

Firmware was updated to 2.3.3 in may but haven't had any such problem with it until now
After trawling google some post said that they switched on their bluetooth connection and then connected to mass storage and hey presto i did this and all seems to be working again. Seems very strange but for those of you who stumble across this thread.
Switch on your bluetooth and then connect the usb cable.
In my case it connected without issue.
Switched off the bluetooth and tried and it connected without issue...so it could possibly something to do with bluetooth who knows?
Appreciate everyones input thankyou
Hi!
I have the same problem. Windows can't recognize my phone, even in download mode.
I have tried the bluetooth on-off trick, without success. I have no micro-sd card in the phone. I tried on 3 pc, and in my Macbook Pro.
Can someone help me?
Thanks,
David
p.s.: Sorry about my english.
Have you tried with other USB cabel ???? I had problem with my USB and recognizing phone on pc, even with instaling drivers :-( (sorry for bad english)

Also been in this situation. Couple of things I learnt:
1. make sure you have a well charged battery
2. fiddle with the usb connection on the sgs: it gets loose and is not always good, press the cable up and see if the pc gives the usb connnect sound
3. uninstall the existing Samsung drivers and then re-boot, then re-connect the usb and let windows find its own drivers or install the latest Samsung drivers posted here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961956) -- but that guide also says, reboot the computer after installing the drivers prior to trying to connect the usb again. Its a windows thing: you must reboot after either install or uninstall the drivers.
Most probably it should be the USB cable, there is something wrong with your cable/port.
I had the exact same problem. I took my phone back to the dealer where the manager messed with it for half an hour. In the end he got it working by removing the sd card and power cycling the phone 3 times removing the battery each time. Presto, I haven't had the same problem since.

Sometimes a very careful tweak of the pins in the port can help, and it is not unknown for the soldering to be cracked, so both worth checking also a clean with a suitable cleaner can help

Is your cable a original one ??? or ??
Hi
I can't write anything from computer.
Phone itself working well. Internal storage itself working.
Using Liquid rom V1 ICS 4.0.4
thnks.
whats the actual problem?
internal storage
As a removal disk in computer i can't delete or write anything from the device.
Sounds like you're having trouble connecting USB storage mode to PC?
Usual culprit for this is reinstall Samsung drivers. They are notoriously inconsistent. Another thing to try is use a back USB port, ie one nearer mobo. If you're trying to connect via kies, there's a separate thread on that somewhere.
