My device's screen is totally broken, and somehow I want to save my datas from the internal storage. The phone is working, but the screen shows nothing and reflects to nothing.
Just plug it into your PC with the USB cable and treat it as a remote disc drive.

I tried this option, but the cumputer only recognises that there's the phone plugged in, but I can't see the contents

Whenever I plug my Vibrant in my computer makes the usb sound to let you know it's connected. However when I go to check the removable hardware, the Drive "I" that showed up when I plugged my phone in says "please insert etc..etc"
I'm trying to transfer movies and songs on the internal instead of the tiny 2gb card.
Oh yeah, and when I check on device manager, it shows Samsung SGH on there...
I'm confused, can somebody please help
Try and put the phone in download mode, both up and down volume buttons and power button, hold both until vibrant screen flashes twice then let go as soon as second vibrant screen appears. Plug USB into phone while phone is in recovery mode, it should automatically install correct drivers while in this mode.
mine did this yesterday. WOuld show connected on my phone, id click mount, but nothing happened. So I restarted phone and computer. All is well now..
Go to Settings > About Phone > USB Settings > and turn on Mass Storage.
So about 2 days ago I threw some songs onto my DX and ever since, it won't let me change usb mode back to charge only. It says it's set to charge only but when I plug it into the pc usb port I can browse as if it were mass storage. This is a problem because I've lost pictures and songs in the past by having it set to this option. It also takes forever to scan the entire 20GBs of storage I have on there after each disconnect making my phone pretty much unusable for an hour. Anyone know where else I can set the USB mode aside from the drop-down?
I had a problem with the phone never being able to be set to Charge Only and I finally figured out what it was.
I had WinAmp installed on my phone and there is an option to auto-mount when USB is connected, this setting takes effect even if the phone is set to Charge Only.
So if you have WinAmp, or another program that does an auto-mount on USB connect, find out which program it is, and un-set the option
Didn't want to make a mess of this issue but I had noticed this since the OTA Froyo update...
i had the same problem but mine was a bad usb cable
So I don't have winamp....and the stupid phone corrupted my entire sd card and froze repeatedly. I used recuva to get everything back and it seems to be working ok. I haven't plugged it into a pc yet.

...also the phone woke me a up a few times during the night with music. I think it's posessed!
Plugged my droid 2 into the dock and nothing has happened on the tablet side. Droid says it's in usb mode. There's nothing in /Removable, just the sdcard in the tablet.
When I switch Droid from Mass Storage mode to PC Mode, "Preparing External Storage" blinks in the TF's notification bar for a second, but still nothing happens.
I have my external HITACHI HDD on NTFS working fine but when I've tried to connect my Nexus S in as a drive its just blink on Transformer task bar and thats all
I would love to see my NS connected to Transformer so I can do more work on it.
Any1 know how to make it work ?
Hi.
Last week I noticed that my I9000 running CM9 has no charging symbol on the indicator. Then I tried to shut down the phone and just charge it turned off, but it immediately booted itself to OS when I connected the cable. When I connected it to computer it just charged without charging symbol and nothing happened. Computer didn't detect it, and the phone also did not detect the computer.
Then I tried to wipe everything (data, cache, dalvik cache) and flashing a new CM10 rom (I had to transfer .zip to phone via bluetooth ) . I also cleaned the connector with alcohol and checked the leads on PCB and everything seems fine. But it still doesn't work.
This morning when I connected it to computer it recognized it and phone asked me to choose USB mass storage. But after few seconds the computer reported malfunctioning USB device. After I disconnected the cable charging symbol remained on like it's still connected. Then I rebooted the phone and again there is no charging symbol and no communication with computer. I also tried few other USB cables (another samsung, SE, nokia...)
Is there anything else I can try or should I start saving the money for a new phone?

If you connect it to your pc in download mode, does Odin recognize it?

No. Nothing happens. I also can't find it in device manager.
Sounds like it might be borked alright. Though if it's still charging then at least you won't have to rush out and by a new phone. Try removing your microsd card and formatting your internal storage, before you connect it. Long shot, but it might work :-/
I haven't connected the phone to pc in quite a while tbh, I usually just download the latest version of Cyanogenmod straight from the browser to update, and use dropbox to send any files I need from my PC. e.g. new songs, videos etc. Though obviously if I was reloading all my music/videos I'd need the usb connection to work.
Hiya,
So my colleague gave me an USB stick for me to copy some photos on to, and it seemed to of killed my N7.
Here's how it all went down:
I have an Intel MBP and when I plugged the USB drive in, it didn't recognise it (it didn't even show up in the Disk Utilities). And yes, it was directly connected to my laptop, no USB hubs involved.
I tried even the other USB port, and even with a USB hub, no difference.
I've installed a program to write onto NTFS formatted drives, and OS X natively can read just about all the Windows file formats (in my experience any way). And so, just for the giggles, I popped the drive into my updated and rooted N7 via a Motorola USB OTG cable (which has worked for a long time and no flaws) and then my N7 could read it. No worries.
I copy all of files into a separate folder on the drive, and then pop it back into my MBP. It then detects it. Very strange. I copy over some files, and unplug. Later on in the day, I remember that I forgot some files, so I plug it back in, and my laptop starts going into some crazy lag mode as if it just got Parkinson's. Unplug the drive, and then it freezes (i have to do a force shut down) and when it boots back up, it's seriously FUBAR'd.
I felt the drive belonged in the pits of Mordor with what havoc it was causing.
I didn't plug it back into anything else after that. Told my colleague and he did a virus scan on his Windows work comp: nothing.
Battery dies on the N7 (ie, ran out), and when I go to charge it. Nothing. Okay, something happens. The backlight goes on, but no battery symbol. Just see some sort of light leek (which I had before, but nothing dier.)
It's a 32GB CC0K "generation".
Any clues, tips?
Thanks for any and all help!
TL;DR version:
A) Big long story about MacBook Pro and a wonky USB drive.
B) Separately, "Battery dies on the N7 (ie, ran out)", N7 won't start up.
Not clear from story if (A) has anything at all to do with (B).
Try charging battery for a while? Hold Power button down for 20 seconds afterward? If not, unplug battery connector, wait 10 seconds, plug it back in, charge device, try to reboot?
There have been a number of similar sounding stories on here. Some of them seem to self-resolve after charging, some of them are reported to respond to various voodoo operations (e.g. battery disconnect/reconnect), some of them the person making the report never checks in again. I suppose that leaves open the possibility that some devices never turn back on?
It isn't obvious if there is a single syndrome or mutiple problems that exhibit similar symptoms.
good luck.
Thank you for shortening it!
I tend to go a bit overboard with details and what not.
Ok, will try having it in the charger and see what happens.
Thanks!
I also find it strange that a USB drive could be so destructive. However, if you do have a wonky USB drive, what chance of is there for its faultiness doing harm like I just described?
Don't forget to make sure the internal battery lead isn't disconnected!!! It happens..
Ok, plugged it, it sat in for a while, held the power button for a few seconds longer (along with the bottom volume rocker) and it turned on!
So, thanks for the help!
Must be the 100th time I've read about grouper's funny little "death" because of drained battery. Hasn't happened to me but if it ever does I'm prepared and properly informed lol
