Hello to all!
This is my first post at xda so good day to you all I'm an Android dev and a lurker for some time, and now it's time to speak up since I've bought myself my own SGS2 which I already rooted and heavily modified.
My question is: I have a Kia Ceed and I can't make the Galaxy S2 to work with it as a source of music. The car's stereo isn't recognized as a PC so I can't turn on the USB transfer mode. Is there any way to force the phone to turn on the USB transfer mode regardless of what's it's connected to?
Thanks
Marcel

Have you tried...
settings > wireless and networks > usb utilities > connect storage to pc?
Nope, that does nothing. The car's lcd says 'reading' but nothing happens on the phone.

In that case, I think you might be stuck with having your music on your SD card and using a card reader!
Nope, if you are using Stock ROM, it does not use a standard USB ATAPI driver.
CM7 has a USB Storage mode which when turned on, should work. Since it uses a standard USB ATAPI driver.
try settings\ applications \ development \ click usb debugging.

As I mentioned, i'm a dev, so USB debuging is constantly on.

Thanks. I'm not sure if I'm ready to jump in the CyanogenMod bandwagon just yet, especially since it's still in it's early stages. But that's a solution!

The idea is to reduce te number of devices, not to multiply it.

A card reader on your car keyring is hardly increasing the number of devices! Just offering a suggestion.
Before going to cm7, i'm pretty sure i had to turn debugging off to get the usb to work.

You do, but it tells you that when you turn USB storage on.
I have also same car model (ceed) and also same phone (s2). So Cm7 really does the job? Can anybody confirm? Or is there any other solution that car stereo could recognize sd cards on the phone?

I rooted my Optimus months ago and had no problem connecting it to the PC. But since I unrooted it when I plug it into the PC the only thing it will do is charge. I've enabled USB debugging mode and that has no effect at all.
I'm using the same PC I used to root the phone so I know it has the proper LG USB drivers installed.
What can I do?
did you enable usb mass storage? when u connect ur phone to the computer u should get a notification that tells u to click it if u want to enable it

When I connect my phone I get nothing. Other than seeing my battery indicator change over to the charging icon. I get no prompts, no ding noises, no prompts on my PC or my phone. I've tried connectign it with the USB debugging checked and unchecked and it seems to make no difference.
Before I rooted my phone I was able to connect my phone to the PC and enable USB mass storage mode. I could transfer music and videos no problem. But since unrooting it doesn't seem to work any longer.
Do a factory reset and see how the things work out.

I've been doing a little reading and I read that some people are bricking their phones after performing a factory reset after an unroot job. It's been several months since I unrooted my phone and I don't believe I made a custom recovery. However I'm still a little worried.
Well I did the factory reset but that still doesn't fix my USB problem. Damn it. Not sure what to do now...........
Are you using new usb if not then you must try a new one.
If you are using a new usb try restarting the phone then the pc.
I'm using a USB cord that is known to be good and also using a PC that also has the proper drivers installed. I'm rebooted the phone, PC, and even did a hard rest of the phone. Still not working
Maybe try to reinstall usb drivers, if this give no results, try to connect your phone to friend's PC.

only the original cord which is deployed by lg is the good one other won't work as it did because its specially optimized for android....

I'm using the original cord that came with my Optimus.
Get ur phone rooted again and change ur settings as default they are before rooting.
first try to connect to PC while u have rooted. if its not work then try to connect it to some other computer or data cable. If doesn't work then unroot and contact LG.

do you want to connect your phone to the computer for developmental purposes or just to navigate through the sd card on your computer? there are apps that can help (like if you want to use adb, theres an app called adbwireless or if you just want to navigate, there are a couple of apps that allow you to wirelessly connect your phone to the computer)

When I connected my tab to the computer using usb cable, it popped up with MTP and the tab shows in the windows explorer.
But after I push the home button and quit the MTP mode, how can I bring MTP mode back without plug in/out the usb case? Is there any shortcut? Thanks.
How can I share files between tab and computer without using the usb cable?
My computer don't have bluetooth and I don't prefer wifi ad hoc p2p connect.
I feel a bit regret to buy the tab as not to have the sd card slot is really inconvenient. I cannot move the pic in the camera to the tab easily.

Get websharing app from market to copy files without using cables. Trial version lets you copy 1 file at a time. Paid version lets you copy multiple files at once.
Also, regretting about anything is just waste, search and you will find answers to all your questions in abundance, that has most and all the solutions.

You mean you are not able to see the tab in the computer after connecting it or the MTP screen is not displayed on the tab?
FYI :
After the latest update MTP screen is shown only when some file operations are going on. Not always when the it is connected to the computer as earlier.

Turn USB Debugging off. I have the Galaxy S 2 on Sprint and it has a terrible habit of turning it on by itself, which disables MTP mode. Not sure where in Honeycomb the setting is, but on my phone it is under settings - applications - development.
Uncheck that and problem solved I bet.

When I plug my international S3 into my PC it will charge but I don't see it on the computer.

I've removed the battery and sd card, & restarted both the phone and computer. Also tried using many different usb port locations on the PC.
I cant install the official Jelly Bean update through Odin because my S3 can't even connect to my PC!!!!!

Yeah, I'm having the same problem with my phone. When I reset the phone, it'll connect to the PC but as soon as the phone updates from my Google account, the phone won't connect to the PC anymore. I tried replacing the phone and same thing. There's something with my Google account. I tried checking all syncing settings and even turned off all syncing. Nothing.
That is such a pain in the ass. If you find a solution please tell me.
I'm thinking about doing a factory reset but I'm afraid the same thing will happen as you.
It doesn't work in Ubuntu as well as Windows btw
Does the USB icon appear in the system tray when you plug it in?
If so, make sure you have it in Camera mode instead of MTP.
If it works, the way I got it to recognize the phone was when my computer failed installing the drivers, I set it to locate the recommended drivers from the internet automatically. I'm on Win7 32 bit as well.

No, the USB icon isn't even appearing in the notification tray. It works about 5% of the time and when it did show up, I was in MTP mode not Camera mode. If the icon shows up again I will change it.

My S3 wont show up in the device manager in Win7. There is also no USB icon in the phones notification tray.
Had the same issue. Happened when kies updated. Only fix I could get to work was uninstalling Samsung drivers and kies from the computer. Rebooting both phone and computer, then plugging phone into computer for drivers to reload. This worked as long as I did not reinstall kies.

Hi,
Need help. I used to be able to transfer file via my windows or mac, plug in the usb cable, got the usb debug notification shows up on my phone, pull down the notification, I can choose MTP or Mass Storage.
Then one day, it just decided not to work anymore, I can no longer see those usb debug option. Everytime I plug in my USB cable. I have also tried different sort of usb cable even the original motorola usb cable, but nothing works.
Weird thing is when I plug the phone, nothing happened, then I unplug and plug it back, it will start charging, but still no usb debug options. I also cannot hear any sounds in windows when I plug in the usb.
Please, any idea, tips or does anyone ever experienced this before and know what's the solution?
Thanks much!

Tried usb2.0 still nothing. I remember last time when I plug in my razr, motocast wil automatically pop up, but this time, nothing
Update, it seems to get detected when I plug it in on PC that is running XP. This is getting weirder...
The Stock ICS Final i'm running works flawlessly with the usb connection, but various custom ROM's i've tried can't mount either Internal SD or External SD. Turning off USB debugging mounts the internal memory on some ROM's, but only with read rights.
There are quite a few people with this problem, and despite searching everywhere i haven't found an proper answer as to why this happens.
agree.. i saw a lot of people having the same issue but most solved it by using moto original cable but doesn't work for me sadly.
is there a log in the system itself? something like a logcat that i can take a look?

Did you look at what the usb phone setting is on. I know there are extra ones like modem or something or other that could prevent transfer.
I am having similar issues, the mtp file transfer mode seems to borked. I can get files from phone but not send em. I've been mounting my external sd as drive then moving the files using root explorer.
Of course.. It always shows that MTP mode is enabled but does nothing when you tap it, and also shows usb is connected on the phone but when taping that it brings up only options for internet passthrough and sharing etc...

Could be the USB 3.0 intermittent issue. Try a powered hub that is USB 2.0 as if your notebook is new enough most likely the USB ports are all 3.0.
Just saying.
