You are wrong. Its still there.
First, disconnect your phone from the PC.
Then go to settings... Xperia... And the Connectivity.
You will see an option to change your connection mode there. Change and reconnect and it will connect in the set mode.
Thanks,
Rick
Hit Thanks if I helped in anyway.

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

USB Mass storage mode has always required user to click on USB connected in top scroll down bar .Select copy files to phone >>>.

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

When I plug in my Galaxy Note into my mac, it does not show up in finder. I have enabled USB debugging, etc. and tried Wi-Fi sync but it has limited data transfer. Is there any way to mount my Note's internal SD card to my Mac?!?!?

nothing on there answers my question. the first answer was for PC's. and i already tried Android File Transfer from google, but it only supports HoneyComb and ICS devices.

I'm having the same problem.
I had the same problem. I can't get it to show up in Finder but after installing the OS X version of Kies I can use the Kies software to access both my internal and external memory and drag and drop whatever I want to transfer.

Actually the thread that 'Ship it City' linked to is correct, and the first answer in that thread is how I connect my Note to my Macbook Pro. Works like a charm and both the internal storage and the SD card storage pop up in the finder window. Just because the button in the USB Utilities says "Connect storage to PC" doesn't mean it only works for a PC.
Unplug USB cable
Setting > Wireless and Networks > USB > Connect USB
Plug the cable in
Mount USB
I know, it's ****ing ridiculous, another reason we need ICS stat.

Ya'll need to sell your MacBook's stat. Windows 8 will come out, and touchscreen laptops will make the decision for you, promise.

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.

Does anyone know if there is a way to connect the phone as a mass storage device without the Lg software? I work on a mac at work, and a PC at home, and transferring files on my phone is something that I used a lot. However I'm not able to install the LG software on every machine I hook my phone to.
Any insite would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

When you connect your phone, immediately push cancel (on the phone) when it is trying to check for LG software.
Also, you have some options on the phone to when you connect USB. I use the option that recognizes the phone as a media player. - Media Sync (MTP)
This is what works for me, and I use it as mass storage.

Look up how to adb push and pull. You will never need to be bothered by MTP again.
i agree that is a solution.
but its not for everyone, especially my relative who just want an easy plug and play options
also manage to help her switch tio ubuntu for most pc needs. therefore MTP is aoutof the question.
right now, my short term solution is an ftp server
however this has its limitations. like need 2 be connected o the same network.
still hoping the nest upgrade or custom rom will implement usb mass storage mode
yeah for some reason ICS did away with mass storage in favor of MTP, i think. OSX unfortunately doesnt MTP, so you need to download the 'Android File Transfer' app onto your laptop and then do it through there.
Whenever I connect my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 to my pc it comes up as " GT-P7510 Camera" so when I open that up on my pc there are no folders so I cannot put any music on it. I have tried Kies and that doesn't work either, I have tried connecting it through wifi and with the cable but it's always the same problem.. Camera. I have looked this up online but there are no answers, I have tried having the USB debugging checked and unchecked, I don't know if it's supposed to be on or not though? lol Please explain to me how I can fix this. So frustrated !

What do you see when you go to Settings>Storage and hit the menu button then USB Options? You should see options for MTP or PTP (Camera), uncheck PTP.
