hi, this has been bugging me for quite some time now eversince i've got my xplay. it seems that there are times that i'm unable to access my storage properly via MTP or storage device. it charges the phone and i can see the device on my device manager but nothing comes up in accessing the contents. my only solution is either by luck, with plugging and unplugging the unit or uninstalling the driver so it could detect it again but sometimes recquires me to restart my pc. my last resort is to unmount the sd card and go through a usb adaptor.
Got the same problem
No idea what causes it.
Also got random replugs where the pc thinks it's newly connected, rather annoying when watching a movie on the pc.
can anyone provide a probable cause for this or any solutions perhaps?
After it got really bad (rebooting phone not working and all several times) I uninstalled com.sonyericson.usbux
You can't acces your SD card anymore but atleast you can charge and push-pull things over adb.
my phone still has the stock kernel and i haven't rooted it yet. though there are still times that i can't access my mem card.
MTP wont work at all for me so I cant update firmware
MTP is far more picky and problematic than a logical drive. I run into data transfer issues with the Iconia A500 due to this, but zero problems with my gTablet that sees the internal space as a logical drive.
Wait a sec- The microsd is seen by the Sony firmware as MTP? That seems odd, since I am not aware of other OEMs that map microsd that way.

Hey all, apologies if this is already covered somewhere.
I got my Vibrant a few days ago and promptly rooted it to get wifi tether. USB storage mode worked fine at that point and I was able to transfer files to the internal storage from a Windows 7 64-bit box.
Yesterday, I went to use USB storage mode on my Mac, and... nadda. I plugged the phone into my netbook (running Ubuntu) and both internal and external filesystems were available there, so it seemed like a Mac specific issue. I googled around and enabling USB debugging fixes this particular issue in OS X, so I enabled that.
The problem is, now the Win7 64 box can't access internal storage at all, regardless of the USB debugging setting! With USB debugging on, neither storage device is visible at all. With it off, both devices show up as "drives," but only the external card is really accessible from Explorer (the internal storage maps to "G" or something, and attempting to access it results in Explorer hanging).
So here's my question: is there any way to get this sorted out so that I can mount both devices from both of these systems? Normally I wouldn't much care about the loss of Windows support (since I mainly use Linux and OS X), but I just ordered a Galaxy S for my wife, and this is just not going to be acceptable for her.
hello guys!
my problem is popular on google but i don't see any one with my problems.
Anyway, i used my usb to connect and transfer some pics and some music.
Everything was OK until i unplugged my usb. PROBABLY WITHOUT UNMNOUNTING (on my mac). The message on my x10 is like this "preparing sd card. checking for errors"
I have tried to fix the problem by recovering the phone to fabric mode (?).
Anyway i just want to know how to fix this and i have tried a different card into my phone so there is no problems with the phone.
My comp doesn't recognize my x10 anymore. This is really frustrating and i can't use the sd card in the phone because it just restarts itself.
Try formatting the card and see if that helps.
how to formate the card if my comp wont read it?
i have no adapter or anything else, except my x10...
The card works in other phones and i have tried micro sd 2gb in my x10 and it works...
PLEASE HELP

Use one of them to format it.
I actually have a similar issue. When connecting the phone to a mac via usb, upon dissconnecting the card becomes unreadable. I used an adapter to reformat the card to get it working again. I am no longer connecting via usb with my mac. Connecting from Bluetooth doesn't cause this problem. Best bet is to borrow/buy an adapter to reformat. Try not to connect to mac via usb as the card almost always becomes corrupt upon disconnection.

Has anyone else noticed that sometimes when they connect their USB in mass storage mode that sometimes you can't see the phone, but can see your SD card?
It seems that randomly, perhaps from some App that I haven't been able to identify, my /mnt/sdcard gets unmounted. When that happens, and I connect with USB to my pc, the only thing I'm seeing is the /mnt/sdcard-ext which is the physical sd card. It's easily recoverable with a reboot, but it's annoying.
I'm wondering if anyone has noticed this behavior on their Atrix and/or knows what it might be linked to.
Anyone else using winamp, and has an issue where if you connect your phone via USB (and hence unmount your storage/sd card), afterwards, it keeps crashing? Even after your storage has been remounted and can be accessed by any other app.
Basically, if I want to transfer files to my phone, I have to reboot afterwards. Not a major annoyance but definitely an annoyance.
Its not winamp as it didn't do this on my N1 or my sgtab, just my atrix
Hello
Ive got the same bug, with winamp after connecting the Atrix to PC.
I believe its something to do with the winamp that was updated in the last days, since all the other apps that can access the SD, were able to get to the SD without problems, only winamp not. notice that the widget shows that there is no SD card detection....
Mine too was restored successfully after reboot...
I think my A500 is erasing data from my external USB, I have noticed this twice.
The first was a 8gb stick - I put music on the USB from my PC, then put the USB in my tablet and played the files. The next time I went to use the USB, the tablet wouldnt recognise it. I put the USB in the PC and the PC didnt recognise it either.
Similar thing happened to my external hard drive (Seagate 500GB) - however I can see the drive and the folders that I had are still there, but there are no files (pictures/movies/music).
Any ideas? I have Acer looking into it.
I don't think that it is actually erasing it...
I have had some curious problems. I used to be able to use an external usb stick and move files back and forth. When I first got the tablet,I used the usb to test my 2tb drive and it worked. When Iplugged the drive into the computer again I was surprised to see nothing there!!! But then I got the message on Windows to fix the file system and it was ok after that.
I no longer use the external drive but I would like to see some answers here.
