[Q] accessing phone with USB - Huawei Ideos X5 U8800

Hello,
this might be a stupid question, but when I connect my X5 with a USB cable to my pc, and push the button "Turn on USB storage" nothing happens.
No drive letters or anything appears ( Pc XP, Android version 2.2.1 , build: U8800V100R001C00B136 )
For now I transfer pictures with the program Hi Suite ( that works fine ) so I think I have the correct drivers, ... ?
I know there are ftp programma's where I can transfer my data with, but I want to use my phone as a USB mass-storage, any suggestions or apps that I can use to fix this?
Thanks !

Help!!!! windows can't recognize the device

HELP!
I'm a new to PPC. I've got an O2 mini, I charged the device well just now, but now when I connect the device to my computer, always says that the USB device is not operating well and windows can't recognize the device. Is there anyone could let show me what's wrong? what should I do? Thanks!!!!!
Hello,
Are you sure you have installed Active sync in your Desktop?

Is your USB cable plugged into a front USB port on your computer??
If so, try plugging it into the back. Some front USB ports do not have enough power to recognize the MDA Compact, and you get that same "USB not recognized" error. Most back USB ports are powerful enough.
uninstall activesync ... reboot system install again ! should work
the comupter may of just seen the modem side of it it happened to me you need to go into your hardware file on your pc and delete any modems you don't recogonize (carefull you don't delete the wrong one (i exepct no responsibility if you do)) and then re install active sync v 4.1 fom microsoft site. then plug it in again good luck
Thanks all you guys. I have got this problem resolved. There is sth wrong with my cable and I have bought a new one. Noe everything is going well.

How come I cannot connect to my PC using the USB?

I currently have Froyo 2.2 on my HD2 and I am having fun with it.
However, I whenever I connect the phone to my PC using the USB connection, I can never see my phone connect to the PC.
I go to my computer and I don't see any new drive. I can easily do this with WinMo 6.5.
I need to transfer files from my computer to my phone but I cannot make the connection. Please help.
Is there some time of setting that I have to do?
I went to setting -->> Connect to PC --->> Default connection type --->> and I chose Disk Drive but it still does not work.
The options that I have are:
Charge Only
HTC Sync
Disk Drive
USB Tethering
I think I tried all 4 of the options but I still cannot connect my phone to my PC using the USB cable.
Please help.

you can go to market and search for this app(automount),then set it to auto mount when USB connected...then you should see your device on your PC...but you are unable to direct copy files to the device,it'll corrupt...
The most reliable way to copy file from pc to android now is install this software...Android explorer which allows drag and drop...everything...click here
download and install it...hey mate,next time please don't create a thread because of 1 question,try to ask in the thread of your build or search...
Cheers..that definitely will help you..

[Q] Problems with connection to PC

I can't connect it to PC . I mean , i conncect the usb cable to my phone and my pc ... my phone shows that it is connected to my pc ... but there is nothing happening . I mean the PC doesn;t find the my phone. What should i do. Ty everybody! Sorry for my english
Well,may i know on what OS are you trying to establish USB connection? WM/Android?...For WM, have you installed windows mobile device center on your PC and tried syncing? As for android,try installing the right version of HTC Sync on your PC. Also, ensure you tick 'USB Debugging' under Settings-Applications-Development. For a few android builds, there will be a notification, prompting you to turn on USB Storage after you connect the USB cable. You have to try all those first before moving on to advanced troubleshooting like manual driver installation,android sdk,hard rest,etc.

[Q] usb connection - security

Hello.
When I connect my S4 to my pc with the USB cable. The folder is automatically opened with all my files, docuements, photo...
As a usb key...
I would like to know if it is possible to block that please ?
On my old phone, I had an option to set by default only charge the phone when connected to the pc. And if i wanted to open the files of my sd card, I had to unlock the screen of my phone and choose "use as a device", and then my files was showed on my pc.
Now with the S4 anybody can take my phone and connect it on a computer and have access to all my files. I want to change that.
Help please.
Thank you.

In the most case, you will need driver for it to work properly.
- if you connect your phone to the pc as a usb storage, you will need only general usb driver, that commonly available in any pc (if the windows has been properly installed)
- if you connect to the pc to use with some specific softwares (e.g. Kies 3 or Odin), you will need Samsung usb driver, that can obtain over the Internet...
If you have wifi connection on both PC and phone at home or office, you can use Airdroid app. Really easy to use.
