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.

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..
first off, i'm on JM7 with my phone rooted
... problem 1: when i connect in usb mode, my pc makes the sound that a device is connected, but when i go to My Computer, i cannot find my SGS
... problem 2: when i connect in media player/kies mode, my phone is detected but takes a long time to load the contents and usually ends up freezing
can anyone help?
it may be a corrupted file on your sd card
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!

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 !

Same problem here.. LG doesnt take care of such things.. no wonder Samsung is taking the market..
I just connected my AT&T v20 to my aliensware 15r2 laptop and was able to import my pics with no issues setting my phone to ptp. Then to access both the internal storage and sd card through file manager I set phone to mtp.
I did nothing special just plugged in phone to laptop and selected what setting on the phone. Oh and running win 10. So don't think its the phones software but maybe your computer missing certain drivers or something. So hope this helps

Anyone have issues after applying liquid spray for a screen protector? I just finished applying and now whenever I connect the phone LG V20 it still thinks its connected to usb. I restarted phone and it went into update firmware connection screen. I had to get into recovery and clear dalvik and cache and it rebooted and everything is working again. I transferred files from PC and again the same issue. Could it be liquid damage? Or is this something else? Thank you.
You'll need to turn on the Developer Option and then scroll down to Select USB Configuration > MTP > ok This is what I did to enable my desktop to read my LG V20 SD Card and memory.
Could it be a cable issue? I was warned once.
In fact, looks like nothing happens on my pc but I can browse the internal memory n sd card.
"Have you tried turning it off and on again?" - it crowd
Seriously That was the solution for me... (Oh, I miss that show so much )
i have connection problems myself but i was forced to do a hard reset after my touch screen failed and ehen ever i try to connect to pc i get device malfunctioned message and cant connect to pc and theres no was of changing to mtp or anything if i cant get intot he phone as far as i know if you have any ideas on pls let me know
