Hi all!
I usually use my Optimus One as mass storage: I connect the device via usb and I push the button that ask me to use the usb archive. After pushing that button I receive the popup in order to confirm the action.... it's really annoing, is it possible to accept and don't show in future that confirmation popup?
I've tryed to check the UMS under the SD option in the settings but... what does this option means? I got no change with that option checked or unchecked...

I have the Samsung drivers installed on my PC (Win XP). When I connect the phone with a USB cable I see two drives - presumably the main memory and the SD card. But when I click on either of them I get a message: "Please Insert Disk in Drive X"
What do I need to do to be able to actually see the content?
If I insert the SD card in a regular card reader I can read and write it.
I tried setting the USB connection to "Development" and to regular storage. Makes no difference.
Please Help
When you plug the phone into the computer, open your notifications bar at the top of the phone. You should see an option that says, 'USB connected / Select to copy files to/from your computer.' Select this option, and click mount. After a few moments, the drive letters that you said were not functioning on your computer, will work successfully.
Thanks for the reply. It helped a lot. The procedure that worked for me is:
1. Set the USB mode on the phone to "Mass Storage"
2. Plug in the USB cable and connect to computer.
3. After the "Connected to USB message appears press the Menu button. Chose Notifications and than click on the USB Connected message.
Hey guys.
Does having this checked stop apps from automatically installing to SD like some do?
I ask this as i would like to have it ticked all the time to stop having to go into the settings and enabling mass storage.
any info would be sweet.
Cheers!
If you check Mass Storage Only in Settings/SD card & phone storage settings, it will automatically connect your phone in Mass Storage mode when you plug it via usb on your pc. That does not affect the way the SD is handled by the phone when not connected to the pc, so apps can install normally.
So you can tick it and don't worry about that when not connected to pc.
You may want to uncheck that when trying to connect via adb though, or when upgrading firmware via pc.
Cheers!
just what i needed to know
It doesn't affect the installation of apps it just puts your phone in mass storage mode directly when you connect it to your pc.
You also don't have to always chose mass storage mode from settings, if you don't have USB debugging turned on, a pop-up screen will appear with a button to turn USB mass storage on/off, or you can do it from the drop down status bar tap the USB connection notification and select mass storage.
I've been using Cherryblur 1.4 d rom for about a week. When i connect my phone to my computer is not recognized because it's on phone portal. How to turn to mass storage? I use a Mac computer and the phone doesn't mount.
I've searched and not find a option to turn to mass storage in settings.
Help please.
Use the pulldown menu on the phone. There should be a notification for usb type and when you select it a dialog box should come up with different usb connection options.
Many thanks. That worked.
When I first got my phone and plugged it into my computer, I had to use the pulldown menu and press a "connect to USB" button for my phone to be mounted in Windows so I could access the phone storage. Once I was done, I had to unmount the phone by using the Windows safely remove hardware function.
Now when I connect my phone it simply tries to connect to Kies and although my phone does appear within Windows and I can access the files, I don't have the connect to USB feature and when I'm done, there's nothing to unmount.
What happened? In both situations, I don't even have Kies installed, so the connect to USB option was obviously what I wanted.
Enable USB debugging to mount to usb the old fashion way. Note that if you have a sdcard in the phone when you do this, both the phone's internal memory and your sdcard will show up as two separate drives on your computer.

Thanks. Makes sense now... when rooting it I obviously had USB debugging enabled... guess I disabled it and didn't put two and two together.
Just now i connected my android phone(ICS 4.0.4) with my pc and the "USB Connected Turn on USB Storage" notification pops up. But on pressing the "Turn on USB Storage" the cirlce below it just keeps on circling and doesnot opens my sdcard in my pc as earlier it used to do.
I removed the battery,sdcard and placed them again hoping it might help but it was of no use.Any help why this is happening.Thanks in advance!!!!
Solved the problem
Hi there!
I solved the problem of "Turn on USB Storage". There are some apps which stop the USB Storage to mount on your machine.I deleted some of them and then i rechecked by pressing on "Turn on USB Storage" and VOILA !!! This time the sdcard gets mount on by system. So if any of u facing this problem try to delete some apps(preferably superuser grant apps) which you doubt and then check again your Turn on USB Storage.it would work.
This was my first question on xda which i myself answering.LOL! Enjoy GUys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:good:

see, this is EXACTLY the same issue as mine, only that i'd got it on JB, not ics.
this problem's originated from a process involving the sd card which ain't gonna permit the sd card even to be unmounted, that's why the USB Storage pop-up neither could do it. u have to investigate so thatchu could find out what's causing so. mine was becuz of swap memory i'd created using kernel tuner n it was activated by that time. firstly, de-activate it if u've got, n then re-activate when u were done with the mass storage deed u wanted to do with yo pc. and if u haven't, then check to see which process the phone is doing that needs and involves the sd card
