My friend has an Optimus V and when you plug it into the pc, it'll charge but won't connect so she can mount the phone. I've tried many different things to try to figure out the problem, and have resorted to asking here.
I also have a V and using the same cable and computer mine WILL mount. I've tried reformatting the sd card, putting her sd card in my phone to see if it would connect (it did). USB debugging IS on, and phone IS rooted. It starting doing this about a month after she rooted it.
Does anyone have ANY idea what is wrong with it? Thank you for your time and help in advance.
Are you sure you are having the latest driver?
Try this
install it,
(you may have to choose language from the last tab, 1st or 2nd option)
and choose P500 from "driver installation"
I didnt experience this issue but if i cant help im sorry.
You should post this in the optimus V forum

First, did you try switching on 'mass storage only' in 'settings' > 'SD card & phone storage' ? Atleast you should be able to mount the sd card alone.
This started happening to me today as well. Reflashed with 20110601 aosp. Still not working properly. If I keep trying, after what seems like 20 or 30 tries I finally get the "usb connected" notification.. Truly strange. Going to try a different ROM and see what happens.
UPDATE: Flashed with Bumblebee 2.4. Still not working properly, I got it on the 12th try.
UPDATE 2: Flashed with Harmonia 1.3. Still not working properly, I got it on the 8th try.
UPDATE 3: Went back to my stock nandroid backup. Still not working properly, I got it on the 2nd try.
I'm tired, gonna hold off on anything else and sit on my stock nandroid until some posts are made.
Does not work on stock ROM? Faulty cable/faulty SD card/faulty phone.
That is what I might conclude. I've seen other threads where this is happening to other models of phone. I opted into phone insurance last night just to be on the safe side. If it comes down to it, my phone will get stolen.
I'm leaning more towards it being a driver issue with Windows, however. Bringing up device manager shows me lots of nifty yellow question marks, and phone connections to COM ports when the phone doesn't connect.
I'm also experiencing this.. my Optimus One was fine and could connect as mass storage to my PC. I could even sync it to the pc suite. Until I install a Traffic Monitor apps (widget) by RadioOpt GimbH from the market. I try uninstalling the app but still when I connect the phone to windows pc the green android won't show up on my phone... I'm working on it right now.. I'll post solution when i find one.
.. i have resolve the issue today.. it turns out it has nothing to do with the app i have previously install.. I have reset my phone but still won't connect.
I bought a new micro usb cable.. since i can't find a cable from LG I tried the micro usb from Nokia. I when I plug in the cable to my computer the green android magically appears.. ^^ what' more magical is.. my old cable start working again.. >_<.. So i think, maybe dirt on the pins in my phone is the problem. since i bought a brand new cable and is still tight when i plug it in.. the dirt must have been remove.. hence, my old cable works again... i hope this help. ^^

Issue corrected: how: I opened Odin on my desktop, unplugged my USB cord from my pc, removed my battery from my phone along with my sim card and sd card: I then placed the USB into my phone (not pc yet), pressed and held the up down toggled (both ends pressed in), placed the other end of the usb into my pc, placed my battery into my phone and all this is done while still holding the up down volume toggle.. (do not press the power button at all) I was placed into download mode!!!!! I selected the pit file (s1_odin_20100512.pit), checked PDA box, clicked on PDA and added T959UVJFD.tar, pressed start, allowed odin to say pass and vibrant started to reboot: My phone cut off again after i removed the USB because the battery was really dead but i placed it on the real charger and the charging indicator actually showed I'm not booted on stock 2.1 for now.
Thanks to those who truly attempted to help me!
I also understand that there may not be a way to actually brick this device lol
PROBLEM BEFORE FIX
I'm really not a noob but I did something unusual. Coming from eugene 2.2 rom I tried to use Odin to flash back to j16 but it said E DEVBLOCK AND somehing else. However I was following some tatorial that said flash the pit file only and select repartition and allow it to work and say pass then pull the battery. Well I did that and now my phone won't come on period. Not at all like the battery is dead and won't recharge. I tried hooking it up to the pc but nothing. Not even a charge indicator. Somehow today I got a black screen to show with red letters... But it won't come back on period. Is this a true brick? Please help me out.

Wow u think I need sarcasm right now? Nope
Can you get the phone into downlode mode?
If plugging it into a charger doesn't do anything and your PC doesn't recognize your phone you might have created the first true Galaxy-S phone brick.
You do have Samsung drivers on your PC right!? And you could also try making a Jig I guess, but if your phone isn't even recognized by your PC your basically screwed. Don't pay attention to 2nd poster, he's just trying to act cool.

I get the message when i connect the x10 to the pc "usb device not recognized" i´ve tryed other cables and uninstalling the drivers and reinstalling them. Even anoher pc. but i get the same message where ever i try.
Is it possible that some of the pins are broken?
Is this something i can fixed on the warranty?
If so, even if i have installed a custom rom?

I turned the phone in and they replaced the SWAP-Unit. All on warenty! When i turned the phone in i asked the dude there about custom rom and repairs, he said it dident matter aslong as its something wrong with the hardware and not the software ofcaurse
Can u run the phone on flashtool or SEUS from SE on the computer? Or is the phone not reconized on that either?

Then you propably got broken usb connector or your IC controler on motherboard stopped working. If you look at your connector and all the pins just looks fine then connector is really ok. Now, it is surely IC controller. You have to send your phone on warranty, and you are going to receive a new one. Yes, a new phone. There is no other way to fix this. And from what I know, you don't have to bother about different ROM installed. No one else bothers bout it too.
edit:
Oh BTW, if this happened now, then propably in short time you will loose ability to charge your phone VIA USB connetected to PC, if not immedietly then after this charging won't be possible at all, even with AC charger.... So... be prepared.
No my connections looked fine but on metering from the USB connector to the filtering circuit it was open circuit I flowed solder on the joint I then had continuity reassembled and all worked great, no need to go to the interface circuitary. I am saying if the system cannot read the voltage drop across the shunt resistor it cannot control the current and will not charge.

Since u guys are discussing this, I wanted to know how does one disconnect the phone from the the PC.what is mount and unmount?? Will it harm my device in anyway??? Which is the safest mode to connect it to PC??
first, try a different usb cable, I had the same problem. as for the mounting problem, should have made a new thread, but you should mount usb to transfer files, but no need to if just charging, but be sure to unmount or else you could corrupt your sd card, and it also creates another drive on your computer if you don't 'safely remove usb' after unmounting

Hi,
I have had this issue for about a week now and I have no idea what I can do to remedy it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Basically the handset believes that it is connected via USB constantly, i.e. when there is no cable connected, or power connected.
If nothing is connected to the phone and I try to turn on USB debugging I get the pop up "Attention - USB is connected. remove the cable."
If I do connect a USB cable to PC, the computer nor the handset respond. So I cannot connect to my handset via usb.
If I turn the phone off, then it starts to show the battery charging screen (as if connected) and will slowly drain away the battery. On top of this the battery stats do not update, so I have no idea what the charge is in reality.
If the phone is off, the only way to boot it up is to hold the keys down to boot into Recovery Mode and reboot the phone through that.
This started suddenly when I was using the CM7 latest nightly 116. The weird thing is that I had been on 116 since its release (months ago) and changed nothing for this to suddenly occur.
I couldn't seem to fix it, so I thought I would upgrade to the CM9 latest to "just wipe over the issue". The problem continued through this build.
Still could not get rid of it, so I wiped everything and went back to the first backup I made, which is the stock ROM and the insecure kernel for root access. (First opportunity to do a back up after rooting).
I have tried another battery and the same issue was present.
Is anyone familiar with this issue? Is there something I can do to solve it?
If not, is there a way that I can add the stock kernel back without using USB or ODIN? as neither will recognize the phone is present. If I cant fix it I at least want to return it completely to stock before returning the phone to the store.
Thanks for reading!
Maybe issue with the USB receptacle, hardware failure, moisture inside or dirty contacts etc.
Try cleaning the contacts carefully with a something soft and moist with isopropyl alcohol.

Ok, So I am back to stock FW and Kernel. The issue is still here, guess it's of to the store for a replacement.
Thanks for your help UpInTheAir, it is appreciated.
I had a similar issue with my S1, which I still have. I suspect a drop of rain got into the port, but not sure because it played up for months.
Anyway, my home 3g modem blew up one day so I began using the S1 as a dedicated wifi modem (tethering). I left it constantly on power. A few weeks later I wanted to try and install ics on it (was bored). It connected to the computer first go and all problems have disappeared since. Have tested it many times now. Might have just been luck.
So, maybe just leave it plugged in for a day or two and see if it helps.

After about 8 hours of searching this forum, yahoo and some other places. I was burned out. Going to get off here again. Stressed out doesnt help my situation. Thanks in advance for any info you can provide. Ok flame away!!!
we need just a little more info.
What ROM are you on. Have you installed kies on your computer.
Sent from my SGH-I777 using Tapatalk
If you are running the ICS TouchWiz build you need to turn on USB storage. Settings > more (under wireless and networks) > USB utilities.
That works for me. My home computer will see my phone as an MTP device, after it installed drivers, and as USB storage using the above. My work computer will only work if I enable USB storage.
If you aren't using the ICS TW ROMs then we need more information.
And one final thing: search before posting n00b

Could you download them directly on the phone? That's what I do, so I don't have to mess with cables. I use dolphin browser when the stock browser doesn't want to download the files.

So you said you successfully flashed back to 2.3.4, just cannot get any storage displayed when plugging into your PC running W7?
a. before plug in, can you check your phone under Settings/Storage to see if SD_card or USB storage displayed.
b. Did you install the USB driver into your W7 PC?
c. Did you check to see any USB notification on the status bar of your phone when plugging it into the PC?
Have you tried a different cable? Are you plugging into a hub or straight into the computer? I couldn't get mine to connect through a hub. Needed to be straight to the computer.

Ok so I just upgraded yesterday from the HTC inspire and I must say I'm liking the S3. Except for one thing, no usb mass storage mode? Duuuwwwhhhaaaatttt??? This is awful...just awful.. I work night shifts and play minecraft a lot at work
D) and alwayed used my inspire for transfering the save data on my work computer to my personal desktop at home... I NEED this FIXED.!! I have the 16GB sd card I pulled out of my inspire shoved in the S3's ext-sd slot and would love to know how to use it as a usb mass storage like I did on my inspire.. I have tried the easy ums app and it doesn't work :/ so here I am, humbly asking for help from you geniuses...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
Not sure if this is what you're asking but here goes...
I just started using the S3 as well, upgraded from an S2 T989 (T-mobile)
On the S2, when I connect to the USB port, I can "turn on" usb mass storage mode to connect to the PC and I'm not seeing that option here on the S3.
However, when I connect the phone to my PC, I get the following options:
- Media device (MTP): automatically checked
- Camera (PTP)
And when I check on "camera (PTP)", my PC would recognize the phone as SGH-T999. And when I click on it, I would have two options:
- Card (External SD)
- Phone (Internal SD)
From here, I can just copy and paste whatever from PC to SD card and vice versa.

Well let me start with this then..on my inspire, I could plug it up to any computer and it would show up as a disk drive and I could transfer baby file back and forth at my will.
Now that I have my S3, I've realised that they've done any with usb mass storage and adopted mtp. Which doesn't work for me. I get a message 'cannot copy "file name" the device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected.'
I can also connect through ptp and it will transfer most files, but not all. It will get to a certain point it gives me the good ole 'cannot copy "file name" the device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected.' message.
So overall, my question is simply this, is there a way to enable usb mass storage for the external sd card on my sgs3? Either by fixing easy ums to work for a 1747 or by installing another app that I don't know about.
Btw, my s3 is rooted, running stock Rom and stock kernel, stock everything. I've installed busybox as well.

Well add me to the list of: MTP sucks! This is pretty awful, I mean if there is a work-around fine, but we shouldn't HAVE TO work around just to get Mass Storage support.
As of now we are stuck with MPT.
Works ok though I guess, I can move files back and forth. You can also try using a wifi explorer if your on the same network.

So basically if you follow all the instructions, your 1747 will be able to mount its external sd card as a usb mass storage. Tried it myself!!! Amazing!!! Haha!!! Life is good once again...
In addition to the above steps, I also had to do something else. I'm running windows 7, but I don't see why it would be any different for any other windows, and after I installed gscript I had to go to device manager in windows, find your phone (should be under portable devices) and then right clicked and updated driver software. After that finished, the pc had to reboot. After reboot, I ran the scripts in gscript... Aaannnndddd... BAM.! MAGIC.!
I hope this helps those who are frustrated with their 1747 as well... this is a temp fix until a better one comes out... buuuuttt... cheers

also, remember to unmount your phone from windows before running the mtp script. I'm not sure what will happen if you don't, but let's not try to find out, right?

I'm not using the I747 (I take it thats the T Mobile branded version), Im in fact using the SCH-I535, Verizon version. Due note that the phone does contain GSM radios so I am able to use it on T for voice (perfect!) and edge data (expected but better then nothing)...
I'm assuming SMS & MMS work as well, albeit untested.

Sgh-1747 is AT&T. T-mobile S3 is sgh-t999 I believe.. and the Verizon version has gsm radios as well as cdma.? That's badapple lol I wonder if that is the same for the 1747 but vice versa?

Also, i just ran into this problem... the fix i mentioned above worked on my work computer but now that im home and i tried it..it didnt work.. :/
BUT!! i figured out the problem. The difference between my work and home computer? Kies... idk if it was that progam itself or just the drivers that came along with it but regardless i uninstalled kies and all the drivers associated with it. After that i plugged in my phone, ran the "mount" script and voila. MAGIC ONCE AGAIN!
Just thought i would inform the masses on what ive done so far to fix this problem
There is another option....
Get yourself a little adapter:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0027YYMU6/
Then you can plug any USB drive directly into that.. then the adapter into the phone.
Your phone will see it as a normal USB Drive... you can then use any filemanager to transfer files from the phones SD to that USB drive... Unplug the USB, pop it into a computer and you're all set.
I'll admit it's a bit kludgy, but until storage mode becomes available, you can use this on OS's that won't work properly with the existing MTP.
NOTE: Might want to buy a FEW adapters... i bought 1, worked great.. friend bought 2 more.. neither worked.. same brand etc... I have 2 more on the way just in case..but for .79 plus free shipping no reason not to buy half a dozen hehe

Yea, that would work... but im more on the side of "my phone should do this" lol dont know why they completely removed usb mass storage... they shouldve at least made it optional in the settings or something, ya know? those little adapters would work but idk how id feel about having to carry around an adapter just so i can transfer files..
Heres a scenerio:
Say my friend calls me up and wants a file that i have on my computer, so i use that adapter and transfer it to my phone, go to his house only to realize i accidentally left the adapter stuck in my computer at home :/ thats a pain in the you know what lol
Just a thought haha

The WHY actually is documented around here somewhere... the short version is, with the way the OS is written, mounting the card as USB storage makes it unavailable to the system. Since most of the newer Androids OS use the SD card more heavily (such as A2SD type stuff) it would render applications 'broken' whenever the USB was plugged in.
That's the official story.. I'm not sure I buy it myself as I've seen apps that let you use the SD card on my original EVO AND have USB mode enabled just fine.. granted transfer rates sucked, and occassionally a file would get corrupted, but it worked 99% of the time. I don't know what 'tricks' those apps used to get it to work, but I don't see why Google couldn't use those same tricks directly in the OS.
Another option btw.. is Wifi Explorer Pro. If you're PC is on the same WiFi network, you can run the app then go to a webpage on your PC to upload/download files as needed. It's not as fast as a cable.. but it does work pretty well and is simple to use.
