It seems that with the JB update, UMS has been disabled when trying to attach the phone to an external device like my stereo, before the update all I had to do was plug the USB cable in and I could play music stored on my SD card. Now all I get is a message saying "USB Unavailable". I can still see the SD card through a Windows 7 machine as long as I change the connection type to "Disk Drive", but that only works when attaching to the PC, (which has the latest HTC drivers installed".
So is there a way to re-enable UMS for portability to connect to the car stereo? By default, HTC MTP is the only protocol available...

I have the Samsung drivers installed on my PC (Win XP). When I connect the phone with a USB cable I see two drives - presumably the main memory and the SD card. But when I click on either of them I get a message: "Please Insert Disk in Drive X"
What do I need to do to be able to actually see the content?
If I insert the SD card in a regular card reader I can read and write it.
I tried setting the USB connection to "Development" and to regular storage. Makes no difference.
Please Help
When you plug the phone into the computer, open your notifications bar at the top of the phone. You should see an option that says, 'USB connected / Select to copy files to/from your computer.' Select this option, and click mount. After a few moments, the drive letters that you said were not functioning on your computer, will work successfully.
Thanks for the reply. It helped a lot. The procedure that worked for me is:
1. Set the USB mode on the phone to "Mass Storage"
2. Plug in the USB cable and connect to computer.
3. After the "Connected to USB message appears press the Menu button. Chose Notifications and than click on the USB Connected message.
Is there anyway to get the X10mini pro to show up in windows as a standard USB mass storage device, like my camera or MP3 player? I want to be able to simply copy files over to the phone without using Sony’s software etc. Is there an app I can download for this?
when i connne it shows up as long as there is a memory card not sure if need to select mount usb on the phone menu , if you want the phone memory im not sure its possible to view but as its not that big i guess ur just looking for the memory card
how do you select mount usb on the phone menu? I am still unable to connect this phone as a usb mass storage device and upload files to the card without the Sony Software

When you plug in the USB cable from the PC to the phone, are you greeted with this menu (see attached image)
Thanks I am familiar with that screen, however I can't get the phone to be treated as a USB mass storage device. I just want to be able to browse the memory card like on an MP3 player, camera etc without having to use the Sony software. Is there anyway I can do this natively in windows or linux?

When that screen pops up, just select "Connect my phone", and it'll mount it in mass storage mode. Works perfectly fine for me on PCs without the software installed. Haven't tried it on linux, but it works on my car's stereo that plays mp3s off a connected usb device, so I can't see why it wouldn't
My phone works like that but only with the phone drivers installed. I treid this before I installed the phone drivers but windows just said the drive was unreadable. Also you can't browse the entire directory structure.
Very odd. My Windows XP SP2 has no drivers in it for the phone but manages to read the memory card
Works fine here as regular usb mass storage in Mac OS X.

Ive just suddenly had a brainwave: asking for drivers? That to me sounds like its in USB debugging mode. Switch that off and it should be ok
Quick question,
I currently have the Epic, which requires a driver installed on the computer before the SD card will mount properly on a windows PC.
I use my phone to upload things for work now and then, and this is a major hassle for me.
I'm thinking of moving to the Galaxy S2 when it comes out in the US, and I was wondering if the S2 mounts properly without a driver?
It's sad to be jealous of friends with HTC phones that mount properly and don't need drivers installed to simply connect to a pc.
If you set it to 'usb debug mode', it auto installs and will come up as 2 card readers.
It even works on my car's head unit so it is in usb mass storage mode.
Without debug mode it'll be detected as a phone but I'm not sure what it'll come up as since all the pc ive connected it to have samsung Kies.
Personally I use widget apps like 'multi mount sd' so I can still use the phone while the usb is accessible by the pc.
When I first got my phone and plugged it into my computer, I had to use the pulldown menu and press a "connect to USB" button for my phone to be mounted in Windows so I could access the phone storage. Once I was done, I had to unmount the phone by using the Windows safely remove hardware function.
Now when I connect my phone it simply tries to connect to Kies and although my phone does appear within Windows and I can access the files, I don't have the connect to USB feature and when I'm done, there's nothing to unmount.
What happened? In both situations, I don't even have Kies installed, so the connect to USB option was obviously what I wanted.
Enable USB debugging to mount to usb the old fashion way. Note that if you have a sdcard in the phone when you do this, both the phone's internal memory and your sdcard will show up as two separate drives on your computer.

Thanks. Makes sense now... when rooting it I obviously had USB debugging enabled... guess I disabled it and didn't put two and two together.
Hello,
I am currently running jokersax's CM9 ( 20120612 version ) on my MoPho. Whenever I connect my USB cable, it automatically mounts the external as well as internal SD cards on mass storage and this is a real pain as it stops any music I'm playing or anything else to do with the SD card. I get a toast saying "The SD Card is now shared via USB" a couple of seconds after I connect the USB cable.
How do I stop this?
And I do have doubleTwist installed but its "Auto USB" option is disabled. I do not have WinAmp installed. Are there any other apps that might do this ? Any way to find out ? ( Say using adb logcat? ). I also tried uninstalling doubleTwist but it didn't make any difference.
