Hello guys
I have SE NEO 2 months, and I am problem, when I plug phone with usb cabel to pc and then unplug him, sometimes (like every 4 connection) happens that icons are sorted differently and some icons on phone desktop are deleted (not in menu). ITs really flustrating to sort them back.
Any idea?

App2sd causes this problem.
Sent from my MT15i using Tapatalk
I suspect you're right, but why would anyone add APPS2SD when it is built in?
Possibly a rhetorical question.
It happens with the built in function as well since it's the same as apps2SD. I'm not sure exactly what happens but I assume the SD card is somehow treated differently when connected the PC though it's not completely unmounted like it is in Mass Storage Mode.
The items vanish from your Home Screen because by connecting your phone to the PC the phone lose it's connection to them. This is why you should never move widgets or apps for which you create a shortcut on your Home Screen to your SD card.

Any apps on the SD card become "unavailable" if the USB Storage mode is active as the SD card is unmounted. If no apps have been installed or moved to the SD card, this doesn't happen. Unfortunately, the apps reaarange themselves sometimes when the SD card remounts. Although this seems not to happen on FW .62. That I've noticed that is!
ok guys thanks for answers,
So if I am right problem is that I have App2sd which I have...
So how can I fix that? uninstall this app will help?
Or its just the problem with apps which I moved with App2sd from internal memory to sd card?
If problem is in apps which I moved to SD card, I can send them back, but there is no space on internal memory, its only few MB on it. How do you guys do this?

This is built-in anyway and solving your problem.
CONNECT/DISCONNECT your phone normal..etc...unmount..eject. Then android itself fixes those problem.

No and thats the problem, I unplug phone from the USB cabel, waiting 30 sec for SD, and some icons from theme are still deleted and icons are sorted badly.
My android dont fix it back.
Move everything that has either a widget or a shortcut on your homescreen back to your phone memory.
oh wow, it looks like works, pretty ****y I must say...
So there is no way I can have many shortcuts on my theme, because phone memory is really small
Thank you anyway for help!
So today I noticed that my battery was about to die and I tried charging my phone and it wouldn't recognize that it was plugged into the mini-usb cable at all. Cleaned the port and pulled the battery and now it will will charge through the cable, but neither my phone nor my PC appear to realize that the two are connected, and ... strangest of all ...
ALL USB OPTIONS ARE NOW MISSING FROM MY PHONE'S MENU.
There are no USB options under "Wireless and network settings."
Under "applications\development" I can select "Android debugging," but that is it. And it doesn't seem to do anything. My phone just charges when connected to my PC and that is it.
No "mass storage" option available anywhere. It was there yesterday--gone today.
I'm running CM 7.2.0 RC2.
The ONLY thing I can think that I did was to delete a genie widget folder from my phone the last time it was connected to my PC. I looked it up first and it is supposed to be a news and weather app which I have never used and which I didn't even know was on there ... Could that have somehow removed USB options from phone's menu?
Also the mini-usb connection is definitely loose--if I jiggle it stops charging the battery--so it could be a hardware problem ... but how would a hardware problem remove all USB options from the software?
Any advice greatly appreciated! I use my phone as an MP3 player and not being able to put music on there is just going to ruin things for me ....

Sounds like you have a bad usb port on your phone. First thing I would try is a new usb cable from the T-Mobile store. If that doesn't work then you definitely have a defected usb port. www.mobiletechvideos.com will repair your usb port on the phone, it runs around 40 bucks but the usb cable will only be around $15. I thought my usb port was bad but it turned out to be a defected cable. Thankfully.
Ps: the news and weather app deletion should not effect usb mass storage what so ever.

Confirm it's not the ROM/kernel first. Flash back to another ROM/stock and see if anything changes
Since it's charging sounds like you USB port is fine . Follow FaultExcepts advice and reflash the ROM .

Thanks to you all for responding! I posted about this in the CM7 forum as well and I'm getting nothing but silence over there.
I'll try a new mini-usb cord first and if that doesn't work I will reflash ... It sucks that I have no way to back stuff up first, since I can't copy anything over to my computer ...
Will post back with the results. Thanks again you guys!

Titanium backup.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try titanium back up.
All: I bought a new mini usb cord and tried it out. As soon as I connected my phone to my laptop, my phone displayed a "mass storage" message and I thought "Yes!" It's working! But then the message went away and my laptop displayed a message stating that there was a problem with the hardware I'd connected ...
Since then, nothing. It is exactly the same as before: phone will charge, but nothing else.
So it must be a hardware problem with the phone, or the ROM got corrupted and should be reflashed. I wish I could know for sure before pursuing either option ...
Which would be more likely to actually remove USB settings from the options menu? That is the thing I still can't figure out ...

In that case you should just reflash the ROM or flash a completely new ROM to see if that's the issue, considering that is the free option. If that doesn't work then it would have to be a bad usb port on your phone, which is a 45 dollar option from mobiletechvideos.com. . When you flash a ROM make sure you wipe data, cache and dalvik cache. I would format the system partition as well, just to make sure you get a fresh install.

I just realized there is a big problem ... I have videos of my kids that I've taken with my phone .... I can't lose those. If I wipe everything and reflash the ROM I'll lose them as Titanium backup does not save photos/videos ... any suggestions?

If the pictures and videos are on your external sd card then you can just take it out as a precaution.
There may be an app that can do this for you if you're pics and vids are on the internal memory, since you can't connect to your pc. Google a app that backs up pictures and videos, you may find something. Just to clarify, you do have Samsung phone drivers installed on your pc, correct? You can't connect to mass storage through the computer unless you have the correct drivers installed. Also, as far as I know there is only one usb option you need checked to get in mass storage mode, and that's usb debugging. You say all other usb option are gone but that is the only option I have ever seen on any ROM, unless your talking about adb over network, which I don't think you will need to mess with that.

Your pictures should be fine. Wiping only wipes the ROM for the most part.
Thanks Itz and FaultException for your responses!
I managed to back up my videos and pictures, by uploading them to mediafire from my phone.
I decided to bite the bullet. I went into recovery to reflash, wiped everything, went to install the zips, and ... there were no zips. I know I didn't delete them from the last time I installed a ROM, which was quite recent. But they were gone. I can't add them by connecting to my PC, and I can't download them directly onto my phone, because now ... I can't boot into the ROM. My nandroid backup does not work .... Man. This is going to be a fun evening.
I ended up pulling the external SD card, putting it into my mp3 player, downloading the zips onto that, put it back into my phone, and install from there (even though I know you're supposed to install from internal memory, not external.)
It worked just fine. I have a brand new, fresh installation of CM7. And .... I still can't connect to my PC via USB. It will charge, but that is it.
Yes, my PC has the required Samsung drivers, at least I put them on their previously. And in any event my laptop with windows 7 automatically recognized my phone before this issue began, without me installing anything extra ... Now, it will not.
It has to be a hardware issue with the port.
Now I have to decide whether it is worth trying to get it fixed, sending it off, etc, or if I should just start looking for a used Galaxy II on craigslist ...

At least your up and running now and your phone can charge, so that's a plus. I encouraged a member a few weeks back who had a bad usb port, to send his phone to www.mobiletechvideos.com because they are a very trusted source. He was up and running when he got his phone back and went ahead to say the service was great and had tracking on the package I believe. Here is the thread link, in case you want to read it.

Edit: it costs $45 dollars to get your phone fixed by them so that's probably your best option in my opinion. Any other option will cost more.

I guess I'll try mobiletech as my next move ...
In the meantime I thought I might just try moving files back and forth via the external SD card ... but now I find that I can not move files from my internal memory to the external card or vice versa ..
Anyone know what could be preventing me from doing it? I just get a message that says: "Could not move file."
What is with the synchronizing when moving or copying onto sd or internal mem when connected to USB? can't do anything on the phone until its finished, anyway to disable this so phone is still useable as its a royal pain in the ass.
Yeah MTP is a pain in the ass most times.

Hi. I've had my Optimus G with a 32GB micro SD for a while now. I've never had a problem with it, and I upgraded to a 64GB micro SD card yesterday. I wanted more room for Spotify music, hence the upgrade.
My problem is when I connect the phone to my laptop (Windows 7) I put the phone in media sync mode and open it up by going to my computer > LG Optimus G > Micro SD. When I look at the micro SD in Windows it shows a file(?) that says "Local Disk", it's a grey and blue drive with a windows logo over it. Whenever I try to transfer my photos to the card it says "The files cannot be transferred, the device has either been disconnected or has stopped responding.
Any help?
I'm also using Nova Launcher Prime if that may have anything to do with it.

Thanks, but the card had been formatted. I ended up talking to an LG rep over my laptop to resolve it. My camera wouldn't launch, and I couldn't open my settings. I ended up doing a factory reset and everything is working now.

Yeah. I just got home a few days ago with the card and it seemed that my phone got an attitude. No camera, settings, Google+, Facebook, etc. Pretty much all of my apps would not launch.
Both my wife and I have the Verizon S4 (latest stock/unrooted). While connected to the same PC, mine gets recognized as a media device and I am able to copy/move files on both the phone memory and external sd card. But my wife's phone just gets recognized as a modem and no drive appears.
Can someone help resolve this issue, please?
------
1. Doesn;t seem to be a driver issue on the PC since one phone gets recognized correctly and both phone are exactly the same models.
2. Tried different USB cables and ports. One phone works in all these hardware change scenarios.
3. I verified the phone settings on both phones side by side but couldn't find anything obvious.(I am still hopeful that this is something silly that I missed). I have enabled developer options on both and played with enabling/disabling USB debugging but doesn't help.
With the recent Kitkat fiasco with SD Cards, our 16GB phone memories were full and we can't seem to move files on the phone itself. Hence we need to use the PC. I was able to move media files to the SD and free up space using the PC. But I can't seem to do the same thing on my wife's phone.

It sounds like your wife's phone may be set to the wrong Qualcomm USB mode.
I have no idea if it will work on Kitkat, but try dialing ##DMMODE# and see if you can access the usb mode setting. Look at what it is on the working one and change it to match on the non-working one, if it is different.
Thank you so much!!!!
