[Q] Internal storage Problem - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General

Hi
I can't write anything from computer.
Phone itself working well. Internal storage itself working.
Using Liquid rom V1 ICS 4.0.4
thnks.

whats the actual problem?

internal storage
As a removal disk in computer i can't delete or write anything from the device.

Sounds like you're having trouble connecting USB storage mode to PC?
Usual culprit for this is reinstall Samsung drivers. They are notoriously inconsistent. Another thing to try is use a back USB port, ie one nearer mobo. If you're trying to connect via kies, there's a separate thread on that somewhere.

File Transfer Problem with USB Connection

Hi All
Hope someone can help me out here.
I am having problem with connecting the USB cable for file transfers. It was working before until tonight. I keep getting this "initialising..." on the mobile screen when the USB cable is plugged in and it keeps flashing on the screen without establishing a proper connection with the computer. Kies has already been installed on the pc. Does anyone know why it's doing this? I'm unable to transfer files now and it's a problem for me.
On another note, is it possible at all to transfer files using the USB cable without installing Kies?
Regards

Yes. Go to USB settings and select mass storage. Your GS will connect as an external drive.

How do you go to USB setting?

[Q] Mass Storage showing 0bytes drive

Hello everyone, when i connect my phone to the computer and select mass storage device, my computer shows 2 new drives, but both have 0bytes capacity. One is for the microsd card (which i don't have installed) and the other should be the internal memory, but both show 0bytes, and i can't access neither of them. Any idea why this could be? I tried it on several computers, all of them running windows XP 32b professional. All the other connection methods work, i can even access internal memory using kies mode.
i am sure this has been covered a few times but:
1. plug in usb
2. select mass storage
3. on sgs pull down notification bar
4. click usb
it will now mount your sd cards for use
seems like a pointless step to me but hey i am sure there is a reason somwhere
I believe the reason is so that we won't have two separate device: pc and i9000 accessing (mounting) the sd at the same time. Might cause havoc to the file system.

PC Does Not Recognize My Device

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.

[Q] Cannot copy files from PC to Internal or Removable memory

I was previously able to copy files from my pc through USB to the transformer to both the removable and internal memory; however, this week I get a "Cannot copy file; device has stopped responding or is disconnected". I can still browse the files that are there and even delete them, but I cannot copy to either memory area.
I see in XDA and google searched that this error is usually fixed by formatting the drive, but with internal storage?? I dont want to wipe the memory, but I would like to transfer files this way.
I can connect external hard drive through the keyboard dock and transfer files. just not through the provided cable and the PC. I have uninstalled the drivers and rebooted the pc and reinstalled with no luck.
Any ideas are appreciated.
Bump. No ideas?
Btw. I have updated to 3.1 but I had this problem on 3.0
No one else had things problem?
Could it be the cheap ass cable??
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
if i had to guess, i'd just say the cable is bad, or you need to remove and reinstall MTP drivers.
I also have this problem, tried restarting the pad, doesn't work....
If anyone knows how to fix this it'll be greatly appreciated!
Most likely a windows driver issue, try connecting it to a different PC (to narrow down the problem: if it works on a different PC, then we know its a driver issue, if it doesn't then we know the problem is with the Tablet or the cable).

usb drive not recognized - help please :(

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 ??
