Anyone else having this problem? When your MT4G is first started the device is seen on your PC as Disk Drive but once you disconnected and try to reconnected later time it does not work as it only gives charging option.
By mounting and unmounted the SDCard, selecting USB connection type manually from USB setting does not help also. Only way to resolve this is by restarting MT4G fully as SDCard works again under Disk Drive without any issue.
I have not experienced this. I also keep my MT4G set to default to "charge only" on PC connection since it usually sits on my desk charging while I am at my PC. Very rarely do I need to hook up to move things on the SD card, usually I just do it across my WiFi and LAN with EStrongs file manager.

I'm having connection troubles with USB. I've isolated the problem, it's my X1.
When I connect it to my PC, the USBtoPC popup works, I can select Activesync, Disk drive or Internet sharing.
When I choose Activesync, nothing happens and my PC doesn't see the device (vista).
When I choose Disk Drive, nothing happens.
When I choose Internet Sharing... you guessed it, nothing happens.
It has worked before, and I've got the feeling that it works sporadically. Another indicator of problems is that when connected, the device shows the charging battery icon, but it doesn't charge!
Now, after swapping the USB connector to another slot on my PC, I've gotten it to run again, but it's a matter of time until it'll start failing (does so every time).
What could be the cause? I'm running Itje's Touch-IT v10.2.
try changing USB cable.
I'm not exactly sure this is a problem; maybe someone can help. No matter which setting I put my phone in "Charge only" or "Disk Drive" when I connect it to my Windows Vista machine it still mounts the SD card as removable storage. It also mounts the internal storage as well but I am not able to explore that (just says insert disk when I click on it).
I have rooted and flashed the custom recovery but I'm not sure that has anything to do with it. I don't remember how it acted before.
EDIT: Okay I figured something out. When I plug in the USB, no matter the setting in Settings > Connect to PC > Default Connection Type, it will always mount the SD card. However when I change the setting while its still plugged in it will mount / unmount normally. Weird.
Same issue here
I had the same problem, and traced it to doubletwist forcing a USB mount as default configuration. Start by checking that.
That's what it was! Thanks for the help.
That was my issue too. Glad you tracked it down.. was driving me nuts.
In the car dock I couldn't figure out why it kept trying to set my deck to USB Devices when I was trying to use Bluetooth streaming.
Heh. Doubletwist... I just uninstalled it.

You can still keep it if you want. There is a setting in Doubletwist that is checked by default called "Auto USB drive" that you can un-check to fix this problem.
Hi, I hope someone can help me with this. It's probably a setting, but I can not seem to find it.
Here is my problem:
When I put my phone to charge, using USB connected to a computer, the phone will state "Charge Only", but the PC will show the drive pop-up, and connects as a drive. This means I can not per default use the SD card AND have the phone charging, unless I change the phone menu to "Disk Drive" and then back to "Charge only".
I never had this problem with my HTC Hero.
Does anyone know how I can get this to just connect as it's supposed to?
Thanks in advance,
Kingkeld.
Have you tried a different computer? I used to have this problem with my K800i on one of my computers. Other computer worked fine.
You using any flavour of Linux? I notice this on linux, but not on my windows system.
I run Win7 at home and I believe a flavor of WinNT at work, and I have the problem both places.
I wonder if I choose the "don't ask again" option and select charge only - will that fix it? If it doesn't, how do I reverse to always ask again?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I also have this issue...
Well, maybe I don't call it an issue, cause sometimes is usefull...
Dont' know why, but a few days now, my DHD has also having this behavior...
I have it on all my pcs, home work laptop.... , all of them are running Win7 x64
And no matter what I choose, Charge only or HTC Sync, it always mount the sdcard on PCs...
someone said winamp automounts when connected. Have any of you got winamp installed on your DHD?
I think it was that. I disabled the option on winamp. Have test more times if it happens again...
i too had alot of problems accessing my sd card in win7 x64.. it used to show the disk drive but the icon for it was a bit transparent (like a hidden file).. i could not access the drive at all!!.. i played around a bit with the setting and solved my problem.. its not exactly the same problem your having but you could give it a try and see how it goes.
i have "usb debugging" enabled
default connection type ( in conect to pc option) "Disk drive"
then disable " fast boot" option and restart the phone.. it will take about a minute or so to start up now instead of the 5 second reboot.. im not sure if the fast boot skips a few non essential apps.. but as soon as i restarted my phone and plugged it in everything has been perfect.. put hundreds of pics and mp3 files on and off and it works everytime.. hope this helps.. let us know how you get on
it is one of the media players you have installed... winamp, poweramp, cube, doubletwist.... I had the same issue and it was the media players....
I rooted my NC from 1.1.0 using autonooter awhile ago and it works pretty well in general. I used to be able to hook it up to my home PC (w7) and my work PC (XP) with no problems. ADB worked (usually), the drives showed up, etc.
Everything still works on the work PC, and another W7 PC I tried it on.
Now, for some reason, neither the NC nor its SD card show up on my home PC when I plug it in! The NC shows the normal "USB Mode" screen when I plug it in, and my PC makes the USB Ding sound. But no new drives show up.
The only thing I can think of that changed is around the time it stopped working, I replaced my old USB Card reader with a new one (old one didn't work with SDHC). I also renamed some drive letters to reorganize them, since the card reader always shows 4 drive letters in windows.
I don't see the USB controller entry for the NC that I used to see in Device Manager either.
Check for NookcolorUMS app
I was having some bizarre connection issues with my PC, too, and they seem to have been corrected (at least they haven't recurred) by using a USB extension cable. It makes no sense, and I didn't do it to attempt a fix, but just noticed that the issues seemed worst when plugging into the top-side 'convenience' USB ports, and had an extra extension cable sitting around, so I plugged that into a rear port to make access less awkward. Since then, the PC consistently mounts everything just like it should.
I'm still using the NC's data cable, just plugging it into a maybe 1' extension cable rather than directly in the slot.
my XP based computer won't see the rooted NC either, however I will have to try using a port on the motherboard as opposed to one of the front mounts and see if that does the trick. I just kinda gave up on it as I didn't really need it too bad (I only use my nook for email, web browsing, and to control my DVR).
Well I unrooted my NC as I had planned anyway to upgrade to 1.2, but the problem hasn't gone away.
I tried plugging into an extension cable I have that goes directly to a MoBo rear port, but no change.
I can't run the nookcolorUMS now that I'm unrooted. Maybe I'll try it when I re-root eventually.
The thing is, it works on every other computer, so I can't figure out why it would stop working on just this one. It seems like it must be a windows issue, but I'll be damned if I can figure out what it is.
I don't bother with usb
USB connectivity is so unreliable that I don't even bother with it.
To move files around I use File Expert/network to access the PC via wireless from the device.
It's easy, reliable, and FAST.

That's a good tip. Unfortunately you have to use USB for certain functions, like manual nooting, or synching with Calibre (I suspect).
Once I'm rooted again I'll probably start using wireless for small stuff, but if I'm moving a gigabyte movie over, I'm not sure how long that will take, or how much battery it will use.
Does anything come up in device manager when you connect it? If so, did you try deleting anything that does come up, disconnect and start over? Worth a shot....
You don't have to guess--if you see a USB device that might be the NC, open properties>details and from the dropdown choose "hardware ids." If the number 2080 is in the id, it's the NC.
Nothing new comes up in device manager when I plug it in. It used to...
I experienced a similar issue and this was what causing it.
1. I have 2 front USB connections (nothing connected to either)
2. External Power USB hub connected to a rear USB slot
On Win 7, whenever I plug-in the NC via USB, I got a device not recognize error. I tried plugging it into different ports and pretty much either got no detection or device not recognize. Here is the kicker, as soon as I plug it into the usb hub, window recognize and mount it right away. This also happen to be true if I remove the usb hub altogether.
Hey everybody, surprise surprise...I found an issue with the new adoptable storage feature in Android M on our beloved nexus player. I used an OTG cable to connect a 16GB Sandisk flash drive and the player recognized it and I was able to format it as internal storage.
I then installed The Walking Dead game to test out performance. I was actually surprised to find the performance to be more than acceptable so I downloaded all the episodes of the game. While the last episode was downloading my nexus player said it lost connection to my wifi. I checked and my wifi was running fine on every other device in my house so I figured I'd restart the nexus player to see if that cleared up the issue. It rebooted and I was connected again, however this is where I found the problem...
The game had disappeared as if it had never been installed. It wasn't on the homescreen or in the settings under Apps. It had completely vanished. Even under the Storage settings, the flash drive showed 14GB instead of the 12.9GB it was showing after I had installed the game originally.
I reinstalled the game and then restarted the nexus player to test. It happened again.
Has anyone else encountered this? If so, is there a reason that things just disappear after a restart? Is it a user error?
Please help if you can as I was excited about the possibility of actually having an adequate amount of storage on this device. 8GB is a joke...
It seems your USB is it write protect mode. You may need to have it forget the storage, reformat it on a computer, and then reinsert it into the nexus player. Ive encountered that issue on other operating system, especially if I formatted a drive so it seems android isn't an exception
I'm having all sorta of issues with external and internal storage. I have a USB otg cable with multiple ports I have 32gb flash drive setup as internal storage and a 1tb harddrive as external storage. When I plugged the flash drive in it connected fine, and set it up, then connected the harddrive and it instantly said the flash drive is not connected. So for some reason it kicked the flash drive off. I got the both to work by disconnecting the flash drive then reconnecting it. If I restart my nexus player, the it will boot up and the hard drive won't remount to it. But if I disconnect the power cable then it reboots and the hard drive stays mounted. But settings always says its not responding and asks me to exit it or wait.. Soo buggy. Pretty ****in redicolous its been around this long and its been buggy from the start.

For me everything is working, except for one issue - that might be happening to everybody: Once I reboot the Nexus Player, the USB storage doesn't automatically get re-mounted. I need to physically remove the USB stick and/or OTG cable and connect it again (while the Nexus Player is turned on). Since I usually don't reboot or shut off my Nexus Player, this is acceptable, but it's still not great. If this is designed properly, it should automatically remount it on every boot, as long as its connected.

I'm using a 64 GB drive (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LLEODCK) with this OTG cable (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00J631SU8) and don't see any issues. The problem that I am facing is, Nexus player doesn't recognize the drive if I connect it via a USB hub.

Is the hub powered or non-powered?
