fascinate not detected unless plugged in back usb

I can't get my computer to detect my fascinate unless its plugged in the back..
The first time I plugged it in the front it seemed to work (showed up in my computer) but i think i didn't safely eject.. i also tried to root it which wasn't working with the one click method.
Basically it just doesn't mount, i press mount and then go back to the option to where it should said "unmount" but it just says mount again
It shows up on my computer and am able to transfer files when i plug it into the back of my computer but when i did it first it immediately said "THIS DEVICE CAN RUN FASTER WITH A FASTER USB PORT" I can tell the port is running slow because its saying its going to take over an hour to transfer 2.5gbs of music to the phone now.
anything i can do ?
when i plugged it into the back usb port all the stuff was

Chances are the USB port just isn't strong enough. The back ones are usually the most reliable.
There's nothing you can really do about it. Maybe get a USB extender if your cord isn't long enough?

Thunderclaww is correct. my guess is your computer is over a couple years old. The usb ports in the rear are supplied more power then its front counterparts. If your computer was newer it should have enough power for the front in which case there is something wrong with the computer, power related and you wouldn't want to put your phone on a possibly failing or improperly grounded usb port. Do yourself a favor and stick to the rear ports.

Not all USB ports are powered. My work Dell laptop only has powered USB in back. Power is required here. Just use the back ports, and don't worry You might want to get an extension cable if that is inconvenient.

You have to "Mount" the Phone. This is under: Settings--> USB Settings. It will ask you for "Mass Storage" or "Media Sync". Mass Storage will basically give you access to your SD Card.
Also, if you are expecting to see the phone as well or use it as a "Hotspot", you need to go into Applications (Yes, Applications) and choose "Development" in there, there is a "USB Debugging". When you select it, it will give a "Warning", but this will allow you to really connect your phone. For this too you will need to Galaxy S Driver.

Samsung Fascinate Not Detected By PC
If all other suggestions do not work, try replacing your connector with a new or working one. A defective connector was the cause why my Samsung Fascinate could not be detected by my PC. Hope this saves you some of your precious time. Good luck.

(question?)Where is the usb mode to connect to a pc??

Can someone tell me please where is the option that was in the curtain drop down to change from mounted sd to unmounted sd so that it connects to the cpu when there is a usb wire connected. After the froyo 2.2 update with the dk28 modem its not there..
Im starting to get tired of removing the usb cable and putting it back in just to get the mass storage option to pull up.
Any help is appreciated

I'm not sure what your question is, but when I plug in the USB cable it is in the drop down notification window with DK28.

If I click on charge only when I plug in the usb cable, I cant seem to find the location to put the phone into usb storage unless I remove the usb cable and choose usb storage..
I used to just swipe the curtain down and choose usb storage from there but it doesnt seem to be located there any more.
Is there another location to turn usb storage on other then removing the usb cable and plugging it back in?

Try turning on USB Debugging. After turning on Debugging, the box won't pop up, but you can enable mounting through the notification bar.
Menu->Settings->Applications->Development->USB Debugging

I was actually going to post this fix.. That actually worked you have to turn debugging on in order to see that option.

[Q] Connection with PC

Does anyone know if the microSD and/or USB Flash drives show up as USB drives on PC? Do the standard Android development tools connect-up through the USB and 'just work' like they do for my phone? I assume that the miniUSB plug is the one that connects to your PC since the other are listed as 'Host' on the Notion Ink Tech specs page.

you would connect to computer with the miniusb, the microsd would mount to computer just as it would with a phone. that would be nice if a usb flash drive did to but i'm not sure about that.

[Q] Safely remove or eject media

I have been using nexus 7 and every time after I finish transferring files from my PC to Nexus, I do not see an option on PC or Nexus to safely disconnect or eject nexus from PC. On nexus I have only two options disconnect USB debugging mode and other is to change to camera PTP mode from media MTP. Is it safe to just to pull the usb cable out after finishing the transfer????

Yes it is safe, simply unplug the USB cable

Do you get the 'Safely Remove Hardware' icon in the System tray (lower right) on the PC? Do you get that icon for other usb devices like thumbdrives or sdcards? If the icon is there, click it (normal left-click) and choose 'Eject MTP device'. If you get the icon for everything but the N7, you may have a driver problem, but as long as you can transfer files you're probably good. Just make sure the transfers are done before unplugging.

"USB drive is safely ejected" and "Not connected"

I launched an app on my Nvidia Shield TV today only to have it stop during the loading process and return me to the home screen. I was stumped as to why the app was no longer there, and after a re-boot, I made my way to Settings > Device Preferences > Storage, only to discover that in addition to my Internal shared storage, I had two additional messages:
SanDisk USB drive is safely ejected
(Sandisk USB drive) Not connected
This is a Sandisk Ultrafit USB 3.0, one of the ones that was recommended by NVidia to use with the Sield.
I've tried unplugging the USB drive, powering off, unplugging the Shield, re-plugging the USB drive in. I've also tried plugging the USB into my PC (not recognized, needs to be formatted) and "Safely ejecting", but no difference.
What's going on, and how do I get the Shield to recognize this drive again without losing everything I had installed on it?

Probably USB drive get corrupted or even worse, broken. Happened to me with some cheap drive connected to RBPi. Disappeared from Linux, PC couldn't recognize either and it was even showing physical damage of overheating?!

Thanks. I didn't know that.
Do you know if they have a list recommending which 3.0 SSD's to use?

They don't recommend anything anymore, other than a fast ssd.
However, they did sort of recommend the SanDisk Extreme PRO Portable SSD before the list got removed.
Don't think you will go wrong with a samsung t5 or a western digital my passport either.
These are the most "recommended" and used usb ssd's.
