Since i have Litening 1.0 and Kies doesnt work with it, i was wondering if there is any way to make the default action when i plug in the USB to go to USB mass storage mode or at least ask what to do like I9000 instead of automatically going straight to Kies connection mode, so i dont have to remember every time to go into settings, connectivity, usb and click 2 times there...
Activate usb debugging in settings> applications> development.

Thanks, i completely forgot about debugging mode ... Now if there was just a way to make it display the connection dialogue without having to pull down the notification bar that would completely satisfy my laziness .
Just to be sure, using USB debugging mode doesnt pose any additional risk right? I know i needed it to root my old I9000 but never used it besides that...
No, debugging can be left enabled without any issues. Occasionally root apps require it to be enabled. I only turn mine off to connect to kies and then I reenable it after.
kies dont seem to work for me so this is the only and best way to connect via usb! Always used this method with my nokia n900
Anyway, a select list when connecting something via USB would be nice, similar to HTC...
If you plug something into the USB-port, it asks what to do:
- Mass storage
- Sync (Kies)
- Tethering
- USB host mode
- ...
Anyone knows how to probably achieve this?
Would also be wonderfull something like a widget...
+1 for widget
+10 for list
My phone is always on DeBugging Mode. The only exemption is if I want to connect to KIES then I deselect the Debugging Mode and plug in the USB cable.
I have never found a problem with any program running when it was in Debugging Mode.
Tasker?
I have multiple profiles for when it's plugged in (either day or night or at work). I'm not sure if you can differentiate between AC charge and USB charge though.
I DO know that you can make your own Task in Tasker that acts as a widget to do most of the things mentioned here...
edit. there _is_ a Context item that allows a task to be set based on whether the power connection is recognized as a 'USB Power'...

I can't connect the Atrix to the Moto Phone Portal using the USB. Just curious if there is a fix to this? Once the browser is launched (it doesn't matter which browser, IE, Firefox, Chrome) it doesn't connect. USB connection is set to 'Motorola Phone Portal' and Moto Phone Portal app says its 'running on on USB..."
Not sure what is going on- connects fine using Wi-Fi... just annoying that it won't connect with USB. Any help is appreciated?
Thanks,
M
are you on a mac? I think it requires the MotoHelper app on a pc - part of the PC drivers.
I had the same issue but I also couldn't connect via wifi. So... I turned off the debug under applications and then it worked fine. But haven't had time to try it with the usb but it may help.
I am on a PC and have the MotoHelper installed, but it still didn't work. Also I didn't see a debug under applications, haven't done any modifications to my phone (not sure if you need to modify to debug or not, but I couldn't find it).
Maybe its a driver issue with my dell...

Not a Dell issue. I have Dell running Win7 64bit and it works fine. Try to manually reinstall Motohelper. Also, under you Windows Start button you should have:
START>ALL PROGRAMS>MOTOROLA>Motorola Drivers>Motorola Driver Reinstaller.exe.
Run this CLEAN and REINSTALL and Selct START - see my attached. This will reinstall everything associated with the drivers and Motohelper. Reboot Phone and PC and then replug phone into PC and select USB with Motorola Portal.
Same Problem
I've tried all these things and mine keeps switching back to USb Mass Storage. If I switch it back to Motorola Phone Portal, it will give me the address for my browser and it will actually pull up the Portal on my computer but then the phone will switch back to USB storage and I can't go any further on the computer. I've rebooted the computer and the phone and nothing helps. Any help
I tried all those things as well, but still no luck. However, my phone stays on Moto Phone Portal as USB connection, but just won't connect/load the phone portal in the browser(s) when using the USB cable.

You should uninstall the Motorola Media Sync from the PC. I kinda like the software, but it does it's own thing to much with out giving me control. I have spoken to Motorola 2nd level support, but the were no help. They told me to ignore it or uninstall it. I uninstalled it. I left the Motorola drivers installed. If you reinstall the drivers it'll ask you to reinstall the Media Sync - say NO.
Once the Media Sync is gone, then the Portal will not auto load and you can have control of the USB settings from the taskbar.
I had a similar issues
....First, Moto Phone portal does not work on Chrome (insert IP address into IE or Firefox)
If you still have problems...
On phone, from home screen
select Apps drawer
select Phone Portal
select menu
select Settings
select Secure login
uncheck Enable login
did anyone come up with a fix for this? i have tried everything in this thread with no success.
USB Cable
I had this problem as well, just happened to have a few extra Micro USB Cables around. I found that the phone will work with some Cables and have problems with others. If you can try a different USB cable give it a shot.
It works just fine with Chrome.
The USB cable that came with my phone does not work.
As per the heading, I abandoned carrying a USB memory stick years ago, instead I have a 16GB memory card in my phone and carry a 15CM micro USB to USB cable in my pocket, this way I can use my phone as a USB drive when ever I need it, but I have a problem with my SGS 2
1) the drive seems to randomly disconnect itself whether or not it is transferring data
2) the option to ask me what I want to do every time I connect my USB cable is missing, forcing me to go to settings--> wireless and networks---> USB utilities, just to use my phone as a USB drive ....... VERY IRRITATING
does anybody else use this feature, if so what are your findings ?
I have a similar problem, it will disconnect randomly but also when trying to update and some times when trying to transfer files. I do however get the option to view files pop up when I plug it in. I made a post earlier but no one replied, hopefully it can be fixed easily. I wouldn't really know where to start though

Um, there must be something wrong with your phone. I have not done anything special to use my SGS2 as a USB drive. It's litterally plug it in and away you go.
I just plug it into the computer, the phone says something like MTB in progress, Kies connection or whatever.
Then I get the option to view all files and folders in My Computer (windows 7).
No problems whatsoever.

I don't normally use the "MTB in progress" version as the majority of computers I plug it into do not have kies loaded.
I use the standard USB drive option in settings
Bump
Anyone else having this issue

Hi,
i dont have any USB connection issues, loaded my 32Gb SD and the internal Storage full and i do use a lot the Mass Storage funktion, somtetimes the connection lasts for hours, so (Win7 32Bit).
Totally agree, the settings--> wireless and networks---> USB utilities ... tapping is verry annoying. Have to do this many times a day
Maybe someone knows an solution how to set the "Mass Storage" connection as an default?
Greetz Tokl
try multimount off the market.
You need to enable usb debugging (to prevent the keis rubish launching).
then anytime you want mass storage mode, click the multimount widget.
-- Actually just enabling USB debugging seems to set mass storage mode as default.
I have the same problem but I think it's the problem of the USB port on your PC. I plug the phone in another port and everything is ok now. You can try this on another PC or another port and you'll see. Hope this helps

1) Doesn't happen on mine. Have you tried using USB ports on other computers as it could be due to a particular USB port on a particular computer doesn't supply enough current?
2) It's irritating.

So you don't have a usb icon in the notification area? Otherwise, you just have to select it to enable usb storage.

Thanks Mate!
USB Debugging prevents Kies and bring up the Mass Storage directly
One more (very small, but annoying) issue of the SGS2 solved
Greetz Tokl
When I enable debugging mode, I does indeed turn on mass storage mode and it works. However, every time I unplug the phone it reboots. I do press the disconnect USB drive button and I do eject it on my PC. It still crashes. Does anyone else have this problem?

This happened to me today, and the reason was the Android browser application running in background. Using the task manager I killed browser and then I faced no problem thereafter.
So, to sum up I guess an application running in background might be the reason.
Hope this helps somebody...
It's funny you should say that, as I hardly ever get that problem anymore, and I mostly use dolphin hd browser now

If it is connecting in download mode then the cable is perfect. Flash the firmware again to check if it is working or not

This was an issue since i had gingerbread. I upgraded to ics, didmt solve. Jelly bean, nope! I flashed neat rom, still the same.
The only it gets connected is when i turn off both my laptop and phone, connect usb, turn both on. Only then it gets connected to mass storage

my linux mint 11 computer, i cannot transfer files? It will read the note, but all the file folders are numbers and you dont know whats what!
my atrix worked perfect on it!
I just tried on my Mint 12 and saw the same thing. It gives the option for both SD cards: USB and micro, but the folders are incorrectly named (as numbers) and they have no contents in them.
Everything works flawlessly on Windows 7 though. So I will stick with that for now

Do you have USB debugging turned on?
of course.... its weird. i have win7 on my netbook, but i dont have wireless where i am at. i am mostly on my linux computer, so its a pain downloading from one, flashdrive to win7, then to phone.
Try going into settings -> wireless and network -> USB utilities and choose USB mass storage, then connect your phone to the computer.

+1 Was just about to recommend the same, as the Note is default to MTP mode.

if i do this, it turns USB debugging off, then i have to connect to the computer....
AND YES!!!! it works!!!!
and there is always a but! But why do i have to this EVERYTIME?? my atrix i could connect and bam, it was on my mint comp. .. and now when i am done, i have to remember to turn USB debugging back on, or run into why wont this work on my win7 pc........ we need a popup or a dropdown from the taskbar when connected to a computer as to what you would like to do.
Oh wow. I had no idea this even existed..that would make sense. I was wondering why it wouldn't go into Mass Storage mode when I plugged in.
Sorry coming from an HTC Inspire.

I recently toyed around with USB Mobile Monitor without much luck on Windows 10 Technical Preview. I expected the USB setting to be defaulted back to either media or camera, but it's here to stay as accessory USB connection even after an uninstall. There doesn't seem to be an option for this in the dev options. How do I solve this? When connected as USB, both media/camera options are grayed out.
I got a second hand S22+ with PET country code. I would like to transfer some music files to the S22+.
The phone only show charging but no notification pop-up when connect to PC. (installed Samsung USB driver 1.7.59.0, tried connecting by USB c to c cable from Note10+, USB a to c from Zenfone6)
Factory Reset not help, still only show charging.
When I am thinking whether it is hardware issue, I try to adb connect <phone ip>:5555 , it shows "No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. (10061)"
So would carrier locked MTP & ADB?
(p.s. for other behavior) I just try to connect the S22+ to a Switch Lite, S22+ is giving power to Switch Lite and can see USB Settings notification and grey out transfer options (I think it is expected like other phone do)
Do anyone with CSC PET also have no USB MTP transfer and ADB connect?
