hi all,
im using koasfroyo 2.2 v35-1. all of a sudden cant mount when i plug into computer, been researching like crazy and found something i want to try but cant find the setting on my phone. "go to Settings>>Connect to PC and verify Default connection type " dont have connect to pc under my settings menu anywhere!
anyone know where the default connection type is located in this rom?
thanks
Does the icon show in the notification bar that the usb is connected? If so, what I would try is using a widget to connect the usb and see if that works. Your Power Control Widget will have this settings and you should have this as it is a part of the Settings app. Just long press on your home screen and open the widget from there. If that doesn't work, then there might be a bigger issue we need to track down.
nothing is in the notification bar, went to a friends house today and plugged it in his computer with his cable and my cable and still nothing, just charges the phone. i wonder if last time it worked (2 days ago) i didnt unmount before i pulled out usb cord, i normally unmount before i unplug. could that cause a problem, the one thing i havent done yet is format my sd card. tried 6 different computers since it happened, same result on all.
Hmm. I actually had the same thing happen to me and I was freaking out. I used another USB cord and it worked fine. I'm not sure what happened to it, whether it got pinched, cut it with something accidently, or rolled over it with my desk chair, but yea, that was it. I would REALLY be surprised it if had anything to deal with the unmounting it just by unplugging it. I've done that more times than I could even remember. Multiple times a day for months and have never had any issues, or have heard of others. So, try the cord thing next. It's always best to eliminate problems by going through the easy and obvious things first.
Have you ever use wired tethering or just have the app? This has been known to cause the computer recognition not to work. If you have recently use wired tethering try rebooting. If you just have the app installed remove it and try to connect.
Yeah, try using another USB cord. The one that came with my phone stopped working at some point (I would physically connect it and nothing would happen.) I tried a few other cords until I found one that works. Good Luck!
Ok will try another cord tomorrow. Actually I tethered for the first time ever on Saturday night, just seeing how it worked with ubuntu. I used easy tether lite. That was the last time phone worked plugged in. Tether worked great, unplugged and moved my computer into the garage, since then hasn't mounted. But before I started this post I wiped dev & data and reinstalled v 35-1 but didn't clean my SD card.

Since you have rebooted, and haven't mentioned wired tether app for root I don't think what i proposed is the problem. I have also had the same result from different usb cables as said above so hopefully that will remedy your situation.

I think your phone usb connection might be to blame not the cable. Try moving the usb end while its plugged into the phone (up, down, left, right) to see if it clears the issue.
I has the same problem a few times after tethering but if you reboot phone and computer this should work of its not a wire problem. Also what apps do you have running on the computer when trying to mount... IE... earlier tendering programs or HTC sync

everything was fine till now with the charger,lately i have this strange charging problem which goes like this..
previously when we connect the wall/usb charger charging used to start immediately but now it takes time..i need to wait for 45 seconds then the light appears..??
previosly it used to attain 100% charge quickly..but now its slogging??i mean very slow trust me...
responds late to the power n then slow charge??????????????
its the same even when i try with usb and the worst part is it doesn even detect usb connection but charge at slow rate??
any ideas?thanks in advance!!
right now im on cobratos 2.3.4 awesome miui rom!!
So you are using APP2SDcard? You are going to have problems mounting it to USB, if the SDCard is already being used.
For the 45 second thing....I donno....do you have any Task Manager app where you can make sure you don't have like 10+ apps running? Check that. Turn all apps off and then try.

Noo im not using app2sd..the phone gets charged but not able to mount when connected thru usb????

Can you unmount the SDCard under Settings->SDCard and Phone Storage?
If you can unmount it....do that....then plug the phone into a computer (using the original USB cable that came with the phone)
And try using different USB ports or a different computer.
It not charging for 45 seconds after you plug it in would make me want to reflash and start from scratch again. Not a good sign.
That is probably what I would suggest next.
Will try with a different computer and let you no...
apart from 45 seconds delay even the charging process has become very slow:-(
Tried even with different usb ports and computer..no luck
Phones usb socket has gone I guess

Can the computer recognize the phone in flash mode?
If so, try flashing 2.1 with flashtool to fix the problem

What about getting into xrecovery?
You could flash a different ROM with the baseband it matches.

Yea could do that but still the problem persists
Have you tried changing the usb cable? I was convinced my usb port had gone, as it took ages to recognise the charger, and I often had to wiggle the cable where it was plugged into the phone to get it to start charging.
Then I left my cable at home and had to buy a cheap £1 blackberry charge cable from poundland to charge my phone at work - and all problems went away!
After checking the ends of both cables, it looks like the usb pins have become bent inside the small end of the usb cable (mini-usb end).
I'd doublecheck this before doing anything more drastic as it's a simple thing to overlook (well, I did!)
Yep tried with different cables too..i don't think its the problem of usb port too as there is a late recognition ..slow charging but no sd connection
ok, so today i decided to help my friend fix her SGS2, since it was suddenly going CRAZY after she switched to her spare battery! she has been using it for only..3-4 months with no problems until today AFAIK. she is a normal user, so no rooting nothing.
phone version 2.3.3, zskg2.
so basically the problems that happened were that:
1.) MTP App thing kept flashing for a while, so i tried to turn it off and reboot. after a few times the MTP thing stopped, but then another happened. after powering off, the phone would still turn back on immediately by itself.
2.) Dock screen (as if the phone was docked) kept appearing for no reason
3.) battery life draining like crazy
so i thought it was just a software problem , i could flash a few roms whatever and it would be ok.
we thoguht maybe it was the spare battery's fault, so i eventually changed back to the original Samsung battery when trying to fix. no luck.
so i plugged the phone into usb on my computer. no response WTF? ticked usb debugging tried just usb media storage mode etc neither computer nor phone did anything when usb attached! BUT, the phone is able to charge from electric wall socket. very strange.
HOWEVER, when i ran ODIN, it actually detected somehow?! So i decided to uninstall and reinstall kies, thinking maybe it would help. i think after reinstalling, i plugged the phone in and it did install drivers, or maybe i was confusing it with some other driver installation.. actually i might be confused since i had my own SGS2 with me as well.
so after googling and searching a bit for things like 'usb problems' etc, i thought maybe her usb port was just dirty. currently dont have access to alcohol to clean it a bit but actually out of maybe 50 times of plugging and unplugging the USB cable i got the phone to have a response twice?
Anyway, I managed to flash CF-root and then flashed Litening ROM on her phone. it still does not do anything when i plug in the USB cable.
any ideas people? phone is just charging from socket now. after flashing litening ROM i still had one instance where it randomly changed to the Dock screen. weird as hell.
Maybe its broke and needs a warranty repair. Do you really think you should have tried flashing, making the warranty void?
On a more helpful note I spent hours trying to make my sgs2 connect to my new laptop. It would charge but not connect.
I got it to work by using a USB port on the other side of the PC. Simple as that. Something to do worth more power on USB port that attaches directly to the motherboard.

From what I read, it surely looks like there is something wrong with the USB/USB port/USB cable to PC.
I don't know an exact answer to solve your problem, but I can only list possibilities to certain fixes.
- Use a different port on your computer
- Try a different computer
- Change USB to PC cable
- Wipe Dalvik Cache
- Wipe Cache Partition
- Wipe Battery Stats
If that doesn't work, you have to go back to your local provider, assuming either Smartone, 1O1O, 3 or PCCW and hope that they would fix it for you IF you didn't reset your counter back to 0. If you want to bring it back and it is under warranty, get a USB jig off eBay, plug it in to the phone, and the custom counter would reset so you can claim your full warranty. (just hope that your USB slot can even recognize the jig when inserted or you're screwed)
uh oh.. crap. she didn't get the phone through the networks but yeah.. guess I might have to usb jig it etc. thanks for advice guys.

again, thanks for the advice about this .
this morning i did manage to get the phone to at least register that it was charging when plugged in to the USB, although it would still not do the USB debug or media storage mode at all. Additionally, the 'dock' screen also appeared several times after unplugging the USB. really strange. also tried using another computer and USB ports as well, didn't make a difference either..
i even tried turning off the phone, taking out battery and cleaning the usb port with rubbing alcohol, and it temporarily solved the self booting problem but it came back again shortly.
would you have any experience with whether the samsung repair centres void warranty or not in HK? i am getting a USB JIG just in case though..
just wondering: would I be able to use qtadb program to access the phones sdcard you think? since odin could detect and flash, but not kies or the normal windows driver stuff.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
sounds to me like the usb cable is not working
or your pc case is not giving enought power to be detected properly, try to plug it directly to the motherboard usb ports
i also believe making the warrnty void was not the smartest choice lol
cheers

Easiest way is to place a Micro SD card into the phone, backup all data from the internal SD card to the Micro SD card. Keep it simple
Titanium Backup is a great app for that since you're rooted.

hi, thanks for the response! it shouldn't be the case since my own galaxys2 works perfectly fine when I plug it in. ah well I'm getting a USB jig today, it should be ok.. the phone responded to Odin , it's not completely dead#! (I hope)

You can connect QtADB with your phone via Wifi, so if USB does not work, since the USB does not really work.
Yes, QtADB works with External SD support
How to connect QtADB with Phone via Wifi
1) connect Your phone via usb, when it’s connected choose Connection->WiFi from menu and type phones IP and port (to change connection mode You need to connect QtADB with phone because its changing options in phone, not in QtADB. Next time You don’t have to connect usb before connecting via Wifi)
2) install on phone adbWireless and run. Press green button, it will show Your IP and port on phone screen. Type it to the QtADB and press connect.

It also breaks down storage info into system partition, data partition, internal and external SD cards etc.

Just ordered a used Fascinate from Cowboom, and I've had nothing but trouble. It didn't come with the standard oem cable, so I've been trying to use old BB cables, to no avail! When I try to access mass storage, I hit enable on my phone, but the computer says USB not recognizes, or something along those lines. It charges fine with the cable, but can't access mass storage. How do I fix this?
Edit- tried with windows 7, 32/64.
I'm having the same prob with my husband fascinate (the pc recognizes mine with no prob)...I'm thinking there's something wrong with the micro port in the phone (it also got soaked in water overnight) but are you sure you have all of the right Samsung drivers installed on the PC? I know you can get them on droidstyles guide to rooting...that would be the easy solution...if you've tried that you may want to try different cables...although none of this worked for me it may for you...I'm now onto trying to replace the plug on the phone itself being i can see the corrosion in it...

Get this Samsung cord for $1.67: http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B001XXUOQI/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition=new
Then use that cord and tell us if it works. [Or you can try another micro USB that you have]
If it still doesn't work, and if it was originally purchased less than a year ago, Samsung will RMA it for free. Mine I got 11 months old, and would only charge, and not connect to the PC.
I had it sent back, they "fixed" it but it kept freezing every morning when I woke up [after sitting for a long time] so I sent it in again and they replaced the BGA or something and also the main board, and after that it worked fine.
Earlier today I wanted to move some files about on my phone in preparation for a wipe and reflash. I managed to copy off a backup I made. Suddenly, the USB disconnects. Thought the cable may have simply disconnected, I proceeded to unplug and replug my phone, but no dice. The phone seems to charge, but USB connection does not initiate.
I tried rebooting both machines and reinstall USB drivers, but still no connection.
I ended up giving up for a bit and played a game for a couple of hours. Weirdly, during this time my phone happily connected, providing the USB options in the notification area.
I ended up unplugging my phone again, but when I plugged it back in a few moments later, it did not connect. It's since been connected for around 15 minutes, with absolutely nothing but charging occuring from my phone.
Any help would be a appreciated.
Thanks!
Edit: I have also tried numerous cables.
I've also encountered this problem, look for something called 'MTP fix' and see if that works!

USB port/board on the fritz. Replace before it dies completely (you won't be able to charge/etc). You need to work out which revision of the board you currently have in the phone & buy the same board (cheap; eBay/etc) & swap them out.
Search for similar threads, there's been a lot of discussion here about this issue/which board you need how to replace over the past few mths (including photos).
Aw crap.
I'll try the MTP Fix suggested above, but if that doesn't work I'll look into this. How difficult is replacing the board?
For those interested, board replacement information can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2335961
So I was just going to change ROMs, and I realized that my DNA won't connect to a PC over USB anymore. I always plug it in at work via USB to a laptop to charge, and it would normally open the autostart/autorun window, which I would always notice because I'll switch computers often. Last week the autostart dialog stopped opening, but I was distracted with work being busy and it just went to the back of my mind.
Until now.
I've checked all the normal trivial stuff... trying different cables, using different USB ports, and obviously different PCs. It also won't be detected by ADB. Yes, developer options are enabled, yes USB debugging is enabled. It sounds to me like its the port on the phone, so then I'm screwed, but I was just wondering if anyone knows any tricks I can try.
Are you running a custom rom? Go to settings>storage>storage settings>USB computer connection and make sure the connect as Media device (MTP) is checked. Same thing happened to me and some how this setting was unchecked

Have you found a solution for this? I am in the exact same situation with no solutions working for me. I tried PDAnet and many other things. The device is unrecognized by my computer completely not even showing up in the device manager. This likely is a hardware issue, but I'm rooted with no way to return to stock because I can't connect to my computer which makes me unable to use my warranty for repair. This is a really unfortunate pickle as I'm not sure if I can even do anything at this point. I have found online that people with a hardware issue with connecting to their computers also had the slow charge notification when charging either through the computer or the power adapter. Mine does not display slow charge which gives me some hope that it is somehow a driver issue. Do you get the slow charge notification at all?
EDIT: It's a hardware issue for me. Noticed my charger is sticking slightly more out than usual, and it just can't get the right connection

Hey guys, just figured I'd follow up. Sorry for the delay, XDA email notifications somehow ended up in my spam folder.
Anyway, for me it just turned out to be that all the cables I tried were bad. Pretty low odds, I'm actually surprised both my cable at home and the one at work were all bad. Sure enough I tried it with a coworker's cable and it worked fine.
