Hi.
I have strange problem. After connecting my razr to PC, there is a 50% chance that my music will disappear from SD card. That happened again today. Is this some bug in app or in firmware?
Music sync is disabled in MDM, and nothing else will disappear from the memory card. 2.3.6 nonefigsretail
Do you mean that your music player no longer sees any music? Or you've used a file explorer to browse the files on your Razr and the music files are actually gone?
Is the USB Connection set to "mass storage" or Media Device? If it's mass storage, then you won't have access to the internal nor external SD card within your phone until you disconnect or switch to media device.
I've noticed with Media Device, things are not always available. For example, if I go into the phone directly while connected to my PC and I delete files, it won't show up in windows explorer unless I disconnect and connect back. I believe it has to do with the synching not having completed yet.
I guess when you mean "disappear" do you mean it's physically deleted from your phone where it's not there anymore after you disconnect?
Player see only empty info, that there are all albums, but music catalog is empty.
No, all the music simply disappearing from the card. Before connecting the phone to the computer, I checked the contents of the folder with the music and there were 4 GB of data. Connection option was set as "charge only", but somehow my computer sees it and run MDM. After checking is there maybe ICS (yeah, right) and removing from PC the entire contents disappeared.
Ed. Ok, ICS leak installed, so I think the problem is solved in some way.

I am running Task's AOKP Build 6.3.2012. I had this same issue on build 37 as well.
I've noticed that when I connect my phone to the computer and turn on usb storage, my notification sounds and ringtones "reset".
Example: I have my wife's ringtone set to Timmy (from South Park). After I connect the usb cable and turn on usb storage, her ring tone shows "unknown". Same with any of my alarms, default notifications and ringtones...I haven't always had this problem. For me, it started with build 37. I've been on a couple other releases of this rom before 37, but I can't remember which ones.
All of the sounds that I'm using are on my microSD, in the /media/audio/ directory. From there I have Alarms, Ringtones, and Notification directories. I've gone for a while without connecting the phone to my computer, and everything is fine, until I turn on usb storage.
I seem to remember reading a while back about emmc(internal storage) and sdcard (microSD) being reversed, but I can't seem to locate that thread again. The reason I mention it, when I'm using root explorer and open the emmc directory, I'm looking at my micosd card, and when I open sdcard, I'm looking at the internal phone memory.
If you've stored your RT's and notifications on your ext-sd it'll reset every time you unmount your ext-sd.
Moving them to internal memory usually solves the issue.
Cool thanks. Not sure why I didn't think of trying that, but I will when I get home.
After re-reading my post, I want to make it clear that I'm not blaming task or his rom at all. This is clearly something I have done incorrectly, just didn't know how to fix it (or I did, just didn't think before I typed )
Okay, so this seems like it will be hard to explain..
When I connect my prime to my computer to transfer files or whatever, it totally becomes unresponsive when navigating/moving files. One minute I can easily browse to lets say.. The camera folder on my prime, then try and refresh or move a folder out of it, it will take forever to actually do anything, like if I refresh it will search for files and not actually finish and find any, even though I was looking at them a minute ago.
I tried to move a video file to an SD card on my prime and left it for about 10 minutes, the bar didnt move at all so I cancelled it and tried to refresh the folder, and nothing is coming up, just a blank folder with a loading bar at the top.
Anyone else get this problem?
It's related to Prime's slow read and write speed. It's normal behavior for devices that use cheap components.
Are you sure that the files aren't on a storage media that unmounts when you connect the prime via USB. Like for example connecting a device as disk drive to the computer, it firsts unmounts the external sd card from prime then mounts via USB and when you eject it from the USB cable it says preparing storage?
i ve used the nearby devices menu(dlna) a couple of times with no problem!
now whenever i access it all the options are greyed and i can't use them! the 1st option is enable/disable dlna and it is greyed and untouchable too!
in the gallery app i can find my 'nearby' pc, so no problem there!
the problem is that i can't find my phone from the tv as i used to do...
i have a stock galaxy s3 i9300 latest firmware(with otg updates)
i had allshare app disabled but i don't think the problem is there (i had it re enabled it and restarted my phone trying to solve the problem with no luck)
plz help
Same here. Gonna look around for the problem. Let me know or versa if found.

Frying Pans!!! Who knew?!!!
I have the problem as well since the latest firmware (BLG8). I have a 64 GByte storage card and it's loaded with music and videos. I think the behavior of "nearby devices" was changed with the last FW: I think it searches the external SD card before the options for "nearby devices" get enabled. As long as the search continues all options will stay gray. If you have too many files on the storage card, the search will take "forever" (or a timeout may cancel the search?)
So what I did to enable at least video sharing (I don't require "nearby devices" for music)
1) Unmount the SD card
2) Go to nearby devices, all options will be enabled and selectable at once
3) Disable content "music" and "images" in the nearby devices settings
4) Mount SD card again
Depending on the amount of videos left on your storage card, you might have to wait for 10, maybe 30 seconds until the options will get enabled.
solved
Go to application manager -> all apps -> nearby devices and clear everything!
Every time I connect my phone to my computer via USB even after I've disconnected my phone, the following 2 things happen (that I can tell): My ringtone goes back to "Default" (i'm using a custom one which is saved on the SD memory) and my music playlist (the only one i have) goes empty. No music file is missing, they're just removed from the playlist, and they, too, are on my SD memory.
What can i do to fix or circumvent the issue?
The problem is not that it happens while the phone is hooked on the computer, but that it persists AFTER i disconnect it. In other words, after disconnecting the phone, i have to manually rebuild my playlists and change the ringtone again. Is there a way for me to transfer data between PC and phone without having to "reconfigure" the phone after the process? Or better yet a way to use the USB normally without the "reconfiguring" having to take place?
Hope you give me a rply masters
Thank you
Hi,
I'm having an issue getting my files off my Galaxy S9+... it has some weird storage problems.
I cannot move or modify any pictures (or anything) on the SD card. It works fine in Windows.
I plugged in a USB flash drive, it doesn't recognize it. It recognized the same USB drive just fine a few months ago.
I plugged in my phone to my desktop via USB, it only says charging, no option for storage. I enabled developer options and selected USB debugging, but it still isn't working.
I reinstalled the samsung galaxy s9+ driver twice.
I installed Smart Switch from Samsung. This all worked a few months ago, same cables, same Windows computer, same drivers (before I updated today).
I plugged it into my Macbook, which I have done a few months ago, with the same cables, and it isn't making a connection.
My phone is on the home screen, past the lock screen.
I reset the Media Storage and External Storage system applications. Cleared data, force stopped, restarted phone.
I booted my phone into safe mode.
Any ideas on how to get my pictures off this phone? I'd hate to put everything onto cloud storage, it would take weeks with the wifi at my apartment.

If your usb c is not working how are you charging the phone? If your using wireless charging, you might consider taking it to a shop, let them check it out and replace if necessary.. Other than that, the cloud is you only answer.
Try a new usb cable.
Put phone on charge and Bluetooth (or WiFi) the photos over to a pc, however long it takes.
Try a new sd card to transfer the photos to (what do you mean it works fine in Windows ?, the phones sd card socket or system is faulty ?)
Email the important photos to yourself before they're gone forever.
In the future do regular backups !
It's possible the data connections in the USB port are damaged and the power connections are still good. I use wireless charging to reduce wear on the USB port.
I use an app called CX File Explorer to transfer files to and from PC SMB shares. Files can be moved or copied using cut/copy and paste. A share must be available on the target PC. There may be some public shares already visible or they can be created. It uses wifi but is not limited by internet upload speeds so it should be faster than cloud storage provided the wifi signal from the router is good.
Thank you everybody for responding.
I ended up inserting the micro SD card into windows and "repairing" it with the standard windows tool which asks to scan and repair the drive for errors. I was then able to transfer files from the phone's internal storage to the micro SD card. I'm not sure why this suddenly worked, because the same exact strategy did not work when I tried it earlier.
Photos are safe. Thank you again to everybody who offered ideas.
