im on cm7 and i can't find the usb settings- it should be under "about phone" but it isn't there! I looked everywhere even under the wifi settings and spare parts but i cant find it!
That is because it is not there, when you plug it in just select the notification in the dropdown to enable usb mass storage.

My best efforts at searching for a previous thread on this subject have failed me, so either I've come up with a new question or my search-fu is weak.
Whenever I plug my Vibrant into my PC to charge it (ie, every night) it pops up a screen over whatever I'm doing asking what I want to do. Overwhelmingly, what I want to do is nothing, but that's not an option. I so rarely want to do the Media Player or Samsung Kies options that it's no problem having to go to settings to enable them. I can always mount my phone as a flash drive from the notification bar. In other words, all the pop up screen does is annoy me. Is there a way to disable it, and basically set "do nothing" as the default action to take when I plug my phone into my PC?
Oh, I'm running TW's Bionix-V 1.3.1, but I couldn't find a way to do what I want to do in stock Froyo when I was using that.

Wow, I feel stupid. For some reason I thought that USB debugging disabled my ability to actually mount my phone as a flash drive. Well, 2 flash drives. It's not quite ideal (I'm not entirely happy with leaving USB debugging on all the time), but it's certainly less annoying than the stupid pop up screen, and I'm pretty sure my discomfort is not particularly rational.
Thanks!
If you don't want to turn on the usb debugging, then there's a usb setting under wireless and network where you can choose one of the settings you want.

Regrettably, the choice I want - "do nothing" - is not an option from that menu. Personal idiosyncrasy, I guess. I also turn off autoplay for my optical drives on my computer. USB debugging seems to do the trick the way I want, though.
Hey guys, please help.
Last night, I used a USB cable given to me from a friend (not the original comes with the box) to hook my phone to my computer. I think this cable is probably defected or something. When I hooked it up, my phone started to get hot and it shut down. I unhooked my phone and tried to turn it back on, but nothing happened. I then used the original USB cable to hook it up, nothing happened. I thought my phone is dead.
Finally, I used the JIG I bought from Connexion/MobileVideoTech.com to get my phone into Download Mode. It worked, and I was able to turn the phone on. Now the phone is functioning quite normal with one thing missing: the USB storage connection.
Now even using the original USB cable, charging function is normal, but the USB storage connection icon does not appear in the notification bar anymore. I re-flashed Simply Honey 3.9.1 large, but still, it is no longer there.
I check setting/ SD card and phone storage, there is no USB mass storage mode. I can not connect and open internal or external SD card. The computer does not recognize my phone any more, can't use ODIN, can't use Droid Explorer. (
Does anyone know how to fix this problem??? Please, helppppp!
Pretty sure its under "Settings > Wireless and netwerk > USB settings"
You might wanna toggle "USB debugging" as well for good measure. Good luck!

I have plugged the Note into my Mac and cannot get the sd card to show up as a drive so I can use Doubletwist to transfer iTunes music on my Mac. I have tried unmounting the card and no luck.
It says MTP mode on the device when connected.
Thanks
Prior to plugging it in, go to Settings -> Wireless and network -> USB utilities -> Connect storage to PC
If anybody knows of an easier way to do this, such as with a widget or something, I'd love to know, by the way.
thanks
Thanks. That did it.
You're welcome, and to answer my own question:

Get "Any Cut" from the Market. It creates a new entry in the Shortcuts list in the "Add to home" menu. Select Any Cut, and then Activity, and then USB Utilities (at the very bottom of a long list of virtually everything). That'll make an home screen shortcut directly to the USB Utilities settings screen. I use USB storage all the time, so it should save the tip of my finger hundreds of screen impacts. (My poor finger!)
Enjoy!
access memory card
You can also download Kies by Samsung. it has the proper drivers supporting the Galaxy Note.
the device then shows up in the Computer window, and it shows both the built in memory, and any add-in card.
You can get it here;

It would be nice if it worked that way, but unfortunately all you get in the notifications panel is "USB connected / MTP connected" which, when clicked, does nothing.
me and my mate have the awesome ace, i modded his ace about amoth ago with the awesome AOSP rom, but he phoned me today saying that when he pluged his phone into his pc and when to click USB STORAGE MODE, as he clicked it, it vanished and went to home screen, and now and everytime he plugsit into the pc he cant see the USB NOTIFICATION popup. but it will charge up still. he is bringin it down on the weekend for me to look at, so we dont know if its his USB cable and/or his PC drivers and/or his phones hardware as of yet, as we havnt been able to trouble shoot. soooo is this a comon problem with software or hardware for the ACE? i only write this thread in antisipation realy, and out of it bugging me what it could be?
Drivers. Reinstall them..

I have the pretty same problem.
when I plug the usb in my company laptop with win7, the usb notification doesn't appear. but if I uncheck "usb debug mode", the usb notification appears.
when I plug the usb in my personal laptop with win7 also, the notification appears normally, either on "usb debug mode" or not.
I had this problem when i switched on the phone with the usb cable already plugged in. After i removed the usb cable and restarted, the mass storage was working fine
On the CM13 snapshot which I'm presently running on a OnePlus One, every time I connect a USB cable between the device and a PC, even though in Settings -> Developer options -> Select USB Cofiguration it is selected as "MTP", and the device does appear in Windows File Explorer, in fact Windows cannot see anything on the device. Each time, I have to go to Settings -> scroll to end, Developer options -> scroll to middle somewhere, Select USB Configuration, switch to Charge Only then switch again to MTP. Then everything works fine.
So I'd like to find a trivial Widget which just toggles between Charge only and MTP, to make this a less menu, search, search operation every time.
I do see a small number of Root-only (yes, I'm rooted; No, I don't want to have to install a root-capable app if not absolutely necessary) apps which, among too many other things, maybe can do this. Since all I really want is a direct access Widget to a particular setting, I hope there's a much simpler way?
thanks, and apologies if I've missed this; I searched for USB, MTP, toggle, widget and only came up with the much bigger possible solutions.
