I am having trouble connecting the tab to my PC in USB Storage mode, I click on mount but the storage is still not showing on my PC. I have already enabled USb debugging mode.
I also happen to use an HTC desire which I happen to connect in USb everyday so I think i fairly know what am doing.
Any suggestion please
Try installing the software for the Gtab from samsungs internet site...
I had the same problem, but solved it with the samsung kies software package...

For mass storage mode, turn off USB debugging.

Shouldn't be required - I have USB debugging on almost permanently and have no trouble connecting via mass storage.

I too, have had issues when attempting to use the sd card as mass storage hooked up to my PC. I fixed it by turning off USB debugging, when I wanted to copy files to the Tab, then turning it back on after I was done copying files.

Hello! (first post , have been reading for a while though)
I can't connect the phone to my PC (win7 64bit), not as a mass storage device or with Kies (it worked fine before with my home PC and an XP machine at work).
It stopped working after the PC said "Device drivers installed properly" (or something like that) when I connected it, after that I have'nt been able to make it work as mass storage device on any computer..
Very strange and very annoying!
I'm thinking I might factory reset the phone (would very anti-nice though to loose all apps and stuff), so I thought I'd ask here first if there are any possible solutions..
Thx!
if you open device manager in Win7 x64 do you see it listed as GT-I9000 in Portable Devices ?
that's what it shows in mine, and i'm on x64 Win7
it automatically opens in Mass Storage also works in Kies
WEE!! Got it to work just now!!
Rebooted the phone (as I do every day) and connected it to charge over night, and windows popped up with the "installing device driver blabla dialogue" and suddenly it works!?!
This after not working for at least a week on any computer...
I have no idea what might have caused it, but I'm just happy it works again
Still, very strange...
It shows up in the device manager now, it did'nt before.. Thx for the reply!
On Win XP
is there a certain driver i have to download before using USB Mass Storage option.
all i get are two removable drives icon. but they can't be opened
you should only have 1 removeable device icon, 2 if you have a micro SD card inserted.
if you configure the phone to ask you what to do with the usb during connection, then you can select Kies or Mass Storage
regardless both works fine
i do have two removable drives because of the addition of the sd card
its set on Mass Storage. but it still won't open. im not sure if Windows installed it properly though
the driver details:
driver files- system32\drivers\USBSTOR.sys
does it shows in device manager, as mentioned above ?

After connecting the phone via USB, did tell the phone to Mount the drives?
anyone else encountered this issue?
Is anyone else having trouble connecting their Galaxy to a PC? I don't know whether mine is faulty or not. Downloaded the Samsung Kies software but when I plug in the Galaxy Windows is unable to find a MTP USB device driver and the phone refuses to connect. This happens Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit. Also the Galaxy has a complete fit and keeps flashing between the home screen and MTP application screen while it's connected (wxw.youtube.com/watch?v=R9hdpJPCP-k). And I don't get the usual Android option to mount for file transfer. Am I missing something?

finally managed to fix tis stupid kies connection problem...if anyone encountering the same issue jus do a factory restore n format ur internal sd card
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?
My Galaxy Vibrant is driving me insane with USB problems. I bought mine about 2 weeks ago, and it connected fine to my PC. Then, out of the blue while turning it on it got stuck at the black screen with white touch lights on....after a few attempts to fix this, I returned it for a new Galaxy Vibrant. This new one will not be recognized by my desktop PC at all. It connects fine however to my laptop (same OS). I am trying to connect it as "USB Mass Storage" mode, without Kies installed at all (I've given up on this awful software). I've tried numerous USB Drivers that others have had success with but unfortunately they have not worked for me.
Drivers I've tried...
USB Drivers 1.3.170
USB Drivers 1.3.450
USB Drivers 1.3.800
Any words of wisdom are greatly appreciated.
Best would be to install and update kies so that drivers are the latest, then uninistall kies (or disable it, so you'd be able to update it without having to reinstall again)
Before that though, you might wana clean everything on the PC (ccleaner and glary Utilities might help you on that)
It seems that it was you or your PC problem rather than the phone.
mounting internal sd
Did you make sure to mount your sd when connected in mass storage mode?
slide down notifications bar -> select "usb connected" -> press "mount".
If you have done that and still no luck then I haven't the foggiest.
Try restarting the phone and then connect the USB. This technique worked for me.

What are classified as media files? This happened as soon as I got my phone...I haven't uploaded any music/videos and currently have no pictures.
Thank god for Froyo!
After updating my Firmware from my laptop (which would recognize my phone), I connected to my Desktop AND Kies with no issues
Is anyone having trouble with mass storage mode on a mac? Do I need drivers?

No problems here, but I usually leave it in Phone portal so I don't have to eject every time. Didn't have to install any drivers.

I AM!
I bought double twist last night just so I could transfer music via WIFI. When I plug the phone in to my Macbook an autorun file mounts and gives me an .exe setup to run. But... Mac's don't like exe's.
My n1 would plug in and mount no sweat - so I'm not sure what needs to be done to this thing.
EDIT:
I should clarify that I have not installed an SD card. I'd like to figure out how to mount the internal 16G flash drive.

Enable usb debugging in settings>applications .. then connect the phone to your mac and set it to usb mass storage mode..
It should get mounted in finder at that point.

Cool - I'll try it tonight.

Strange thing is I did that earlier today but it didn't work... just did a reboot and tried that again... it worked.

This is correct.
I have my Samsung epic installed to my computer.
-SAMSUNG Android Composite ADB Interface: installed with Samsung drivers.
-SAMSUNG Android USB Composite Device: Installed with Samsung drivers.
-Android UMS DISK USB Device: installed with two Microsoft drivers.
No matter if usb debugging is on or off, when i click to mount/transfer sdcard files nothing happens. When usb debugging is off it says autoplay, but no folder opens after that. Should their be a google or android driver signed with the ums disk usb device.
Im running 32 bit windows xp. Please help me, i cannot transfer any files, and ive been wanting to learn how to root but i cant do anything If i cant even mount my sd card properly
I have Xp too and idk when but i used to have 0 problems using USB Mass Storage Mode and all of a sudden, idk , what i did but it doesn't work anymore. I know it's my PC /setup because I take my phone over to my friends Vista PC and it goes into USB Mass Storage Mode just fine. Everything is already installed on their PC cause they have an Epic as well. A tmp solution that has become a permanent one for me is to download the Dropbox app and create an account and well there you go. Mass storage mode in the "cloud" for ya.

I had the same problem with my desktop. Only connects with USB ports from back of computer. Try some other ports maybe.
I had the same problem for about 2 months, best solution is to buy a different cord, I use the Evo's and it works fine
Assuming you aren't using the ghetto cheap cable that came with the epic, i would use another port. I had the same problem with one of my pc's.
i just got my epic fri and am experiencing this problem. i also went and bought a new usb cable and nothing i seem to do works.
it also interferes with my usb wireless adapter. when i plug it in my internet just comes to a halt and then comes right back to life as soon as i unplug it...

what kind of usb u have Cuz the samsung USB Brakes Real easy U should Try HTC USB Or Just Buy another like I did
When using the stock samsung cable, i have to plug it into a usb port in the back of my computer, when using the htc evo usb cord I can plug it into any port but still am faced with the dilemma. Is there a special driver associated with android ums disk drive besides the ones microsoft provides?
