Used to be able to connect via USB by selecting from the notification bar pull down menu, but it doesn't work any more. When I select connect I don't get the next button to actually connect vis USB. The PC no longer mounts the drives.The PC does show drives when NC is plugged in, but doesn't mount them. I this a PC issue? What can I do to fix it?
Thanks,
kev
Yeah, known issue.
Last worked with last "stable" release.

My Vibrant doesn't connect as a data storage device around the time I started using Kies. My phone is 100% stock beyond some attempts to fix the GPS (which didn't work and returned to stock). I installed Kies to do USB tethering and changed the setting on the phone to ask in which mode I want to connect.
Last week I was having trouble with connecting in Kies mode and tethering. I then noticed that I could only connect to the PC when I selected the phone option for Kies and not as a media player or storage device. I proceeded to uninstall Kies from my PC to see if that fixed the drivers. No go. I tried another PC which has never had Kies on it and also no go.
Here are the symptoms:
1) Plug USB cable to Phone
2) Menu on phone shows: Select Kies, Media Player or Storage
3) Select Storage
4) USB symbol appears and goes through connecting to connected state
Normally at this point the Win7 PC will pop-up with an auto start window asking if you want to open the storage device or transfer photos. In my case nothing appears. I also check My Computer and the phone is not mounted it doesn't appear later. I suspect a phone issue. Is there a way to fix this without doing a factory reset? Reboot doesn't change anything.
Anyone know a fix for this problem?
Make sure to use these drivers

Stupid question, but are you pressing "mount" on your phone when your in USB storage mode?
note to self: read OP *before* replying
If it's still set on Ask on Selection try changing it to Mass Storage. I recall reading something that said Ask on Selection doesn't work right. I just toggle it between Mass Storage and Kies manually.

Changed to Developer Mode USB and forced reinstall of the drivers. Thanks for your help guys.
My PC won't find my Wildfire. The problem I have is that it recognices my phone as a "unknown usb device" and I won't be able to transfer stuff between the SD-card and the PC (very annoying as I can't really move music).
I'm running Cyanogen Mod (the stable released 12th of december but had this problem for a while now). It's rooted with unrevoked and the HBOOT usb drivers won't work (reinstalled vista on my pc).
So what should I do?
When you plug your wildfire in, up in the top left hand corner(on the notification bar) you should see two little icons pop-up, One will be telling you that you have connected your phone to a power source and it is now charging, the other allows you to turn on usb file transfer.
Drag down you notification bar and click the one that says something like "file transfer" and it should open a new window... there should be a button at the bottom of the page which allows you to toggle the file transferring on and off, remember to turn it off before you take your phone out, or it will bug the next time and you'll have to reboot your phone and your pc to get it working
Hope this helps,
note* if this doesn't work there is a driver you can download which might make it recognise it, but I believe the above solution should work for you!
Edit:
If you still can't find it i'll upload a screenshot when I get home
try installing the hboot drivers again.
that solved it for me when my phone wouldn't be recognised, funny thing was it stopped recognising after i was charging my auntie's ipod. LOL
I would reinstall the drivers but it doesn't show up as a "Android Device" (or what it's called) in device manager.
I don't even have HBOOT USB as an option on the bootscreen. (with the USB plugged in)
UPDATE: Installed and uninstalled HTC Sync to get the drivers. Still an unknown usb device on which I can't install the special HBOOT drivers and still no HBOOT USB on boot screen even when plugged in.
If your phone is rooted, HTC sync could be your problem.
Had the same problem.
This is how I solved it, from the HTC support page:
Tips 1:
If you cannot see the HTC Sync option when you connect your phone to the computer via USB, please follow the
Instructions below:
1. Make sure you select USB Debugging in Settings > Applications > Development before connecting your phone to the computer
2. Connect you Phone to the PC and wait 20 seconds for your phone to install HTC Sync on your phone.
3. Unplug the USB sync cable. Wait for 5 seconds. Reconnect the Phone to the PC using the USB cable.
4. Select “HTC sync” and wait for HTC Sync to recognize your Phone. This process could take up to a minute your first
time connecting to the computer.

Or just install pdanet on both computer and phone, it will automatically install the drivers too. After that you can easily uninstall pdanet from both computer and phone, the drivers will stay installed.
hello, I had the same problem, cm since I upgraded to, I can not sync my windows with wildfire, and I found an alternative way to synchronize your PC and the wildfire MyPhoneExplorer excellent! really good!
I'm having the same problem, I can't access my Wildfire through my PC.
My PC recognizes the device but I can't access the SD-Card as it says 'Please insert a disk'. It's just charging, no option to establish a connection to the disk drive.
I tried several things, including the USB-debug mode which didn't work out. With MyPhoneExplorer I have a connection to my phone (can see calls, messages and memory status) but when I want to view the files on my SD-Card it pops up an error message saying "OBEX protocol couldn't be initalized! Phone didn't answer'.
Please help me how to connect my Wildfire again!

i recently upgraded my firmware via Kies to 2.3.6. i was all good but a problem has occured. I connected my tablet to pc via USB but there was no notification that it is USB connected. I cant access my tablet files here in my pc, cant select mass storage or samsung kies, im pretty sure that the usb cable is not a problem because the battery icon in the notification part becomes battery with thunder symbol. please help, thanks
Try this:
-Try reboot your tab, or
-Reinstall Kies on your PC, or
-Search on the configurations>conections>usb
You can always access via WiFi browse and download upload ad well, backup with drop box your images automatically add well.
But sounds like driver issues ad well so what Sam said is best uninstall and reinstall that or plug USB into different v port

Try driver update, if it doesn't work, go for re-installing...
I am trying to connect my Nexus 7 to my PC in Mass storage mode. I unlocked and rooted my tablet and have stickmount installed. In the pull down notifications menu it only allows me to connect as MTP or PTP. When I plug it in and click 'mount' in stickmount, a little window pops up and says 'Active Mounts: None' I can't seem to get it to mount. Any suggestions? I thought it was possible to connect this way with a rooted device.

Try to install mtp porting kit from Microsoft... it worked for me...
My assumption has been that StickMount has no relevance to a USB connection to a PC and that StickMount is used to connect to devices that the GNex controls as a USB Host. I may be totally wrong but with an Android device connected to a PC I've only ever used the PC and never thought of controlling the connection from the Android end.
hi there,
thanks for the great omniROM, i use it a while now and I was never so happy with my Galaxy Note N7000!
running the latest 4.4.2 (20140329) and have a SDcard in slot working properly.
I upgraded from stock 4.1.2 and it was an better experience than ever before, but there is just one thing that bothers me: USB Connection
when I connect an USBStick via OTG or via USBcable to PC, the only thing that happens is charging. this appeared some while ago still in StockROM after excessive use of USBSticks (all FAT) and keyboards. I was hoping the rooting and upgrading to OmniRom would 'reset' this behaviour, but it didn't tried differend tools, some with SU and nothing worked.
so my questions is: how can I get into the PhoneUtil-menu in omnirom or the UART/USB option?
after researching some more, I found this similar case and (possible?) solution. i'm keeping some hopes in this to get USBtransfer working with USBsticks again:
........ GT-7000 USB Data connection not working
My phone was not detected as MTP by the computer.
My phone didn't detect that it was attached to a PC.
On my PC --It didn't work.
Another PC --It didn't work.
Even another PC --It didn't work.
Mac --It didn't work.
Tried all sorts of things written on many websites. --It didn't work.
There was no MTP option in the status bar. It just always charged using the PC.
THEN... Finally 1 day, when I was looking at the back of my CPU (PC ) I saw my USB 3.0 Ports (the Blue ones). I had never connected anything to them. So,
Tried on a USB 3.0 Port --It WORKED!
My phone was immediately detected as MTP. The option showed up in the status bar. I could transfer files. But then- What about my USB 2.0 Ports?
Then I did the following :
Dialed *#7248# for the PhoneUtil options.
Under 'UART' tap MODEM. Under USB, PDA.
If this is already your setting, choose the another ones (PDA for UART and MODEM for USB) and then tap SAVE and RESET.
Again dial *#7248# for the PhoneUtil options.
Under 'UART' tap MODEM. Under USB, PDA. Finally tap SAVE and RESET.
Your phone will now be detected as MTP with all types of USB Ports now.
thanks and best regards
