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 ??

When i try to mount my sd card to my laptop it just doesn't stay mounted. Right after i tap mount it dismounts. I had this issue on ALL 1.5 builds. When i connect to any other computer it works perfectly. Any ideas? i tried deleting the drivers and re-installing them several times that doesn't work. I think it maybe an error with my registry or maybe some software i have on here blocking it idk. This GeekSquad agent is officially confused
Registry? What is this nonsense? Are you registered as an offender and the court has mind control software installed on your computer? Best to wipe the thing clean and install Linux, then everything will work.
thats way to much of a hassle dont you think?
reinstaling the computer os to mount a phone? noo
there has to be a better way
but if ur meaning to do a fresh install of everything then formating and starting over will work
but whats prob the problem is that your drivers are conflicting with each other
i wish i could help but try to do a fresh wipe of your phone and see if u can install the drivers on your own...again
dumb question, but this isn't as well known as it probably should be. Does the laptop have usb 2.0 or usb 1.1/1.0? And if it has power saving options, see if it maybe toggles to the slower usb when that's on. I have an issue with usb 2.0 on my motherboard (something's corrupted/broken) and can't use windows with it active, so I can only use usb1.0...and the sd card starts to mount but then errors out.
Hope this helps, that's the only issue I've had and it's only happened on my home desktop, works fine on my wifes pc and my work pc.
the usb port only slows down when its not in use after a certain time
the bios is set up like that
but if ur usb is constantly slowing down you should either update your bios or update your system all together and change some advanced settings to keep the usb running all the time
I had the same issue after upgrading to 1.5 w/ apps2sd. I ended up having to upgrade the driver. Windows will tell you that your using the best driver but you will need the one that you would use for fastboot etc. BTW you can always just use your sd adapter and see if windows can read it that way and if it does your good to go. Also did you recently partition or format the card and how old is it?

Yea the sd card is perfect just bought a pny 8gb sd card $20 , but i have tried upgrading the driver to the fastboot drivers that doesn't help, i installed a clean version of windows on a separate HD and it works fine, so i know it's a software/driver issue on my end
btw all my usb ports are 2.0 guess I'll just use my sd card reader in the mean time hopefully new releases fixes this issue
When I first plugged in my nexus one, windows 7 recognized it and installed the n1 driver... but whenever I tried to mount the nexus one to access it's files, it wont let me; thus, I always have to manually remove the micro sd card and insert it to my sd card slot on my lappy to access it. ( Do keep in mind that I was able to mount my sd card at some point in the past. )
I tried turning on the the usb debugging mode while attempting to mount the sd card like some people suggested with no avail. Does anyone here know how to fix this problem? I would appreciate it very much if someone could help me.
Thanks,
Roxy
Uninstall the n1 driver and try again.

I get a similar problem mine will mount and then automatically unmount so I cant copy any files to my n1
Use another usb port
Can't say I've ever had this problem before.
USB debugging enabled on the phone
drivers installed
and I can adb remount with any probs... :S
I have, I've tried 4 different port I have also tried on another pc and its the same.
I'm using Windows 7 64bit, no problems with usb driver and accessing N1 storage
try a different cable?

maybe your nexus one usb port is goofed. i had that problem on a winmo phone after a while.
and, are you using the stock sd card supplied? or are you using one of the new fangled 32gb? i have a 16gb class 6 that has no issues whatsoever. try a diff sd card. otherwise, it may indeed be busted usb port
Or maybe you aren't responding to the "USB Connected" notification prompting you to "Select to copy files to/from your computer" ?
I doubt it's a USB port problem. I have the same issue with my nexus and windows 7 professional 64 bit. The same phone works flawelessly in XP mode on the same laptop!
So, it seems like it's a driver issue.
Cheers,
Stephane.
This is a common Issue on Android Devices
My roommate identified this issue on his Win 7 Home premium 64 bit machine, we found that when we hook up any G1 or Nexus to that PC none will stay mounted. It shows connected you choose the option to mount the phone will show mounted for a few seconds then will show not mounted and nothing happens on the PC. We have tried with 2 different G1's one rooted one not. Same with 2 Nexus One's, one was rooted one was not. All had the same issue. All of the phones will mount on other machines. We suspected the machine but there are no security settings active to prevent mounting and he is the administrator.
i had to install separate drivers by running devmgmt.msc, right click on nexus one, search for the correct driver in the sdk folder
the usb driver wasn't enough to do it. had to get drivers specifically for nexus one as well
Laptop just broke and phone had just had MTTY Task 29 done. Downloaded a new ROM to install from downstairs pc. Has Windows XP and wont recognize the phone in bootloader and change to USB have tried searching and nothing.
Please Help Me

Try removing the sd card and plug the usb port into the rear of the pc if possible. Don't use any usb hubs etc. Allow the device drivers to install if asked. If you still have problems you may need to try uninstalling and re-installing Activesync.

Hi,
I have a strange problem when I try to connect my device to the PC.
After I installed Kies for the first time, the PC recognized my device one time. After I had removed the USB connection, when I try to reconnect the device, the PC did not recognize it.
I tried to reinstall Kies, install drivers without the Kies, I rebooted my PC everytime - nothing worked, it still did not recognized.
The only thing that work is a System Restore which I did on my PC (for before I installed Kies for the first time), but then I got the same problem - for the first time I connected my device after the Kies installation, the PC recognized my device, but after I unplugged and reconncted the USB cabel, the PC did not recognize my device, again.
Meanwhile, my System Checkpoints on my PC where deleted (I guess because of the System Restore), so now I can not go back to square one again.
I tried to find identical problem in the forum, but I did not find one.
My operating system on my PC is Windows XP, 32bit (I do not have access to another operating system, surely not on a daily basis. If it is necessary, I will try to find a computer with another operating system).
The Kies version which I installed is 1.5.3, the most updated as of 31/10/2010, downloaded from the official Samsung website.
I do NOT use LauncherPro, or any other launchers for that matter (I only installed a few popular games, from the market, on my device).
Thank you!
Yuval.
Try removing any media which might be there on your internal sd card. If that doesn't work then try and format the internal sd card. Certain apps like winamp too prevent the phone from connecting to the pc. It sure did work for me. Hope it does for you too.

I did transfer some .mp3 and .wma files from my PC to my "media" folder in my device through Kies in my first (and successful) connection.
However, deleting them (+ reinstallation of Kies + rebooting of both my PC and my device) did not help, and my PC still does not recognize my phone.
How do I format my internal SD card?
Thanks!
if you have any other devices like printers, external hdds, etc connected, remove them and connect your phone.
Go to settings, sd card and phone storage, internal sd card. Unmount internal sd card and then format.

The only devices that are connected to my PC are the screen, mouse and keyboard. Should I remove and reconnect them?
Do you get the usb connection sounds when you connect and disconnect your phone to/from the pc?
It is all OK now .
The problem was two bad USB ports. It took my some time to cosider the posibility that both of them do not work well. Using a third USB port fixed the problem.
For all of you - if the phone uploads the "Kies" screen (the blue one) when connencted, it is probably the USB port or the USB cabel to blame.
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
