Is there any way to get the phone to automatically detect usb plugged in as drives on my pc, seen quite a few automount apps in market, but they all seem to either need rooted phone or only mount the sd card, and not mount inbuilt storage. Any ideas folks, as having to go into settings, network setting and usb settings is a royal pain each time I want to put anything on the phone.
Kies doesn't work at all, says need MTP drivers which I've tried reinstalling to no effect(I digress -this is a separate issue) .
Thanks in advance for any help provided peeps.
Erhm, when you plug your phone into your PC, you just drag down your status bar and select 'connect to pc'. No need to go into settings you know.
Settings => Applications => Development => USB debuggin [X]
enable that, connect USB, then this:

Hey
Title says it?
I want to use standrard android usb storage instead of the Samsung Mpt stuff. I've tried to pull the Mtp app out but then usb storage wont work at all I've been searching everywhere for this but havent found ****
Anyone?
Thanks.
EDIT: Oh sry, maybie I wasn't clear enough :C I'm cooking my "own" rom and want Mtp disabled and removed by default. Guess I can remove the MtpApplication.apk after all. How do I enable USB debugging by default when rom boots then?
Enable usb debugging in settings, applications, development and mtp will go away

No clue then sorry
1- Disconnect cable from phone
2 - Disable (uncheck): Applications \ Development \ USB Debugging
3- Go to Wireless and network \ USB utilities
4- Click Connect storage to PC. A message will show up with a "Cancel" button. DO NOT CLICK IT.
5- Connect cable to phone. The little green robot will show up.
6- Click the button to enable USB mass storage.
Whats the catch?: If you only enable USB debugging, only the Extenal SD will mount. If you do this way, then Internal USB and Extenal, both, will be mounted.
Hi,
My USB is behaving really wierd.
If I use USB debug my device is not recognized at al by my computer. With USB debug unchecked it's recognized and I can view and delete files but not transfer any new one. Transfer just results in a timeout saying "device disconnected".
This applies to both the internal and external card.
Tired different cables, different computers and operative systems.
Please help, tired of transfer files via keys air all the time :/

Hey,
when u have the Debugging mode activated and want to see it on PC, u have to hit the notification, which appears when u connect it.
Then press connect USB and it should appear on PC
When u don't use this mode it went in an "Kies-mode" which PC directly recognize.
Or when u go to settings>Wireless etc>USB and press here "Use USB as Masstorage" it's the same like when u press activate on notification while debuggin mode.
Hope I helped a bit ...
CHEERS

Well don't mean to be rude but ofc i connect USB storage when I plug it in. When in USB debugging mode, the device is not even accessable but in kies mode, its accessable but I can't transfer any files to it :/

Transfer a small file see if that times out .

I know this is not a solution to your problem, but I recommend transferring files over wifi (NOT KIES AIR) which, to me, is much more simpler and better way.
Here is how:
first install free "SwiFTP FTP Server" application from Market
install it and enter desired username and password. Enable wifi and start application.
On your computer or laptop, install some FTP client (I recommend "Filezilla").
Enter user information you previously configured on your smartphone, connect and voila! You know have access to all of your smartphone's files and folders.
Like I said, for me, this is much better and simpler way of transferring files than using USB cable. Give it a try and see.

I would like to know how you solved this issue as I am currently going through the same thing
Hello- USB debugging is turning itself on(putting a check on itself in the settings) automatically as soon as I plug in the USB cord and enable USB storage.
I am using the ROM located at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1442889
Any help is appreciated, thank you!
as far as i see its always enabled in stock roms... and there is nothing to worry about unless you have some virus in pc which will use adb to format phone or steal data

The problem is I can not turn off USB debugging, this is not normal behavior. It automatically turns itself on...
Download ROM Toolbox from Market, go to root browser, build.prop Editor, click the pencil on the extreme upper right type - persist.adb.notify=0 in the end of the textbox. Should solve the problem I think..
With the new ICS firmware (and I don't know if its all ICS) you need to turn off debug in order to use Mass Storage.
Is there any application or other way around this? It gets a little annoying to always have to do this.
Titanium backup needs debugging on for some of my apps and if not using mass storage mode the phone connects via MTP mode which is very slow
I would willingly pay for an app/widget that does the following
Once pressed turns off debug and asks you to plug in USB for mass storage.
Prior to disconnecting the USB cable you select to disconnect which then un-mounts the storage and then turns back on debug
figure should be easy to make for some dev out there
Anyone have an idea on this?
Guess no one out there has an idea
Hmm, for me the only difference running ICS and checking or unchecking dev option/USB debugging is whether or not I can manually unmount the phone in Windows, it always connects as a media device and I have no otion to turn that off.
Mediamonkey takes forever when my phone is connected as MTP (say 15 minutes to build the sync list?), and the only real option to use it to send fresh music to my phone WAS connecting it as mass storage (15 SECONDS for the sync list).
So I would really really appreciate any hints on how to get my S2 to connect as mass storage. It's the official ROM rooted using Chainfires respective kernel.

Or at least an app that selects and deselects the option automatically as I mention above.
Sure a dev somewhere can make lots of money for an app like this

Thanks for the info but I already knew this.Also you didnt need all these steps in gingerbread and previous software versions.
Also for people using USB debug this must be turned off before being able o do all of the above.
Im just saying an app can be made that does all of this with one click
Well, get onboard here, test and say if it works.
I have USB Debugging always on and I am currently running LP7 version of ICS.
When I plug in the the phone I get the Media Device (MTP) coming up on the phone - which is ticked.
In Windows Explorer (Windows XP) just below Control Panel (in the folders window) is a +GT-I9100. Clicking on the + I see a subfolder +Phone The items in this folder are the Internal SD of the phone.
From this I just drag and drop. I haven't noticed any difference in speed between this new way and the old method in Gingerbread.

Try transferring a large file you will see the difference between transfer speeds in MTP mode and mass storage.
Also with MTP you can only do one thing at a time. For example let's say you are transferring files. While doing that you want to erase something else. It will wait for the original transfer to finish prior to starting

But will this work even with debug on?
Yes. As mentioned in the linked post:
- connect cable
- classic "usb connected" notification appears in notification bar with option to do usb mount
- adb available.
Doesn't like my Mac either
When connecting my galaxy s2, I get the attached error.

MTP wont even work properly on my Windows 7 machine. It refuses to update the explorer process as long as the phone is plugged in. So navigating the phone means a lot of plugging and unplugging to get anything out of it.
Changing to UMS means my 2 devices (Internal SD and External SD) are visisble right away, but sadly are not displayed with any storage bars underneath . As a result I can't access them anyway and the second my phone goes to standby it stops the "process".
So any help or hints how to get my damned phone to actually work and show the storage bars underneath is most welcomed.
Help me !!
Iam running the latest nightly of cm11 (nexus 7 2013) , and the USB connect just doesn't work!
I try it with USB debugging and with out it , and it's not work ...
What to do ?
Does it charge the battery or is not working at all?
Using Tapatalk GT-I9505
I've just recently had this problem as well. Add pictures to show what it says or does when you say it doesn't work. If it charges the battery and displays the icon and notice that it's plugged in on the phone, then you'll just have to uninstall or disable the device on your computer and try it again for it to work.

I found it. Go under Storage > Menu > USB computer connection
I realized that there were no check-boxes marked. when I clicked MTP, it installed.
