[Q] Disable automatic mount dialog on USB connect? - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

For the record I did a search and the only similar thread I found was from 2010 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=687587 and there aren't any solution/tips in there that are still relevant.
I've been finding with a lot of different roms (all jellybean ROMS as far as I can remember, but Slim 3.1 and 4.2.1 betas 1 & 2 for sure) that as soon as I plug in a USB cable the mount prompt comes up.
Does anyone know how/if this can be disabled? I prefer to only mount when I choose to touch the notification.
Thanks for any tips/solutions.

I'm not sure if that changes anything but I'm on AOKP with USB debugging on and other than the notification, I have to go in my pulldown menu to mount up.

try enabling both usb debug and usb debug notification. if usb debug is off, it may just jump to the usb storage prompt.
I'm on CM10.0, and I don't have the problem. when I connect usb cable, I get 2 notification icons: debug and usb. I only get the usb dialog if I tap on the usb notification.

Neither USB debugging nor USB debugging notify made any change, as soon as I plug my USB cable in, the fullscreen mount prompt pops up :/
The only thing I've found so far that gets rid of it is enabling fast charge, which I guess is acceptable if no other method can be found.
Thanks for the suggestions though.

I was going to suggest what you already did and that was to enable fast charge.

I don't see anything like that in developer options on my phone... I assume by "active awy" you meant "active away"? Either way, didn't see anything similar anywhere on my phone.

He doesn't use the same phone as us.

Not sure what you mean, but for the record I've got an unlocked AT&T cappy, not a rogers one.

Enabling USB Debugging

Hey guys, my girlfriend recently purchased an LG Thrill, beast of a phone, and I've been meaning to do some app testing with it but I can't seem to get USB Debugging to work. If I connect the phone to my computer with debugging off it will give me to option to mount storage as intended, but as soon as I enable USB Debugging the computer will no longer recognize the device. The notification that debugging is enabled pops up for a second but then goes away.
Has anyone else come across this issue?

Do you have !both! drivers installed from LG? I think that's your problem.
Make sure you have all the drivers. One of my friends had this issue also.

Yeah, installing drivers fixed the problem. I don't know why I thought all Android devices would use the same ADB drivers. Thanks for the help guys.

[Q] how to enter mass storage mode with PC seamlessly?

Hey guys, been trying to figure out how to connect my phone to my pc without having to have kies installed on every computer I access using the usb cable. After struggling for a while I figured out the problem was because I had usb debugging mode activated, and once I unchecked it abracadabra! I was able to access my memory card just like any regular flash disk. The only problem am experiencing now is that, even though I have usb debugging unchecked, every time I connect the usb cable it automatically becomes checked again. meaning I have to go through the long process of going to settings> applications> development, to uncheck it again. Why is this happening?

Install these samsung drivers and you will be able to do so.
http://hotfile.com/dl/109276666/f22355e/SAMSUNG_USB.rar.html
Dont quite get the problem.
When I plug in the USB cable to the phone and PC, the phone's task bar shows a small icon at the top. I pull down the task bar (or what ever it is called - it is pull down), touch the info about USB, and up comes a dialog box about enabling USB storage. I touch OK, and there is a warning about not being able to use apps on the USB. I touch OK again, and I am now connected to the PC.
First time or so, I was asked to turn off USB debugging, and never had to do it again.
Then maybe its an issue with my phone, originating from the factory, coz everytime I connect I am forced to go find the usb debugging option from way deep in settings coz nothing appears in the drop down task bar until I uncheck it. I am now getting paranoid considering the first time I bought it and took it home I found out that the standard micro sd card I was issued with did not work and had to go back to the store and get a replacement card. Maybe I should have opted for a different phone too. "cockroach theory"

Thanks for the drivers, but that was not the solution I was looking for exactly as that would mean I would have to install them on every computer I ever connect to, seeing as I prefer to double up my phone as a flash disk too coz its harder to loose and no pal would ever ask to use your phone to go borrow something (thats how flashdisks get lost) and I can also charge the phone when am copying new movies and songs, catch my drift.

If i recall correctly this also happened to me when i bought the phone. But after i installed samsung kies or the drivers it got ok. But as you say, if you use many computers its not pratical. I mainly use this one so no problem for me.

When you use your phone as a flash drive, you can expect to use it as a normal flash drive - simply plug it in, and the PC recognises a USB mass storage device. There ought to be no need for any drivers. Even on windows PCs.
But, you will have to unmount the SD card from within the phone.
If you need to disable USB debugging mode each time, try disabling USB debugging without the USB cables plugged in The phone ought to remember it. The menu option is, IIRC, settings > USB and media.
Things are slightly different in 2.2.2 froyo, 2.4.5, 2.4.6 and the current 7.1 CM custom kernel I am using. So, I cannot exactly remember the menu option. But, it is not a driver issue.
BTW, I installed the samsung USB drivers for Kies and ODIN from the phone on a newly installed OS, and was on stock 2.2.2 Froyo then so I am very sure that this is not a USB drivers issue.
My phone just updated to 2.3.6 and every time I plug the USB cable in, debugging mode automatically activates, even though I have unchecked it without USB cable plugged or after it was plugged. When I try to enter mass storage mode I get prompted that some apps might not work while in this mode. I tap OK and the phone tries to connect but after a while reverts back to debugging. That would not be a problem if I was at my home computer as running keys unlock the mass storage mode adn I can use Total commander to load what I want, but when at work, I do not have admin right so I can not install driver. Until yesterday I was on Froyo 2.2.1 and mass storage was no issue...

Connect to pc menu

So I have had my phone for a week now and I still love it as much today as when I took it out of the box. I can't put it down. I have found a couple of things that frustrate me though. Right now the biggest of those issues is the lack of the connect to pc menu in the settings. I'm not able to play music through the stereo in my car via usb. Just come up saying n/a device. I pretty sure it has something to do with usb debugging as I can not get it to turn off after install bulletproof kernel. Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks in advance

Just try an another kernel for test and you will see if you have the same symptoms.
Which version of bulletproof - 2.0 ?
or try to re-install your kernel

Cannot get watch to connect to pc

I have installed all drivers i could fine. Whenever i plug the watch into my pc it doesn't even make the chime sound, nor does the device show up in device manager.
Can someone please help me, i just got my watch two days ago and would like to enable more cores because mines quite laggy on android wear 2.0.
If you have enabeld USB Debugging ?
This you can do in the Developers Options.
If you dont see Developers Options under SETTINGs then you must first enable the Developer Options...
To do this ...
Go to SETTINGS there in Devices Info and then TAP 7 times at Buildnumber... after this go back to Settings and you see the Developers Options and there you can enable USB Debugging
Sorry for my bad english...
i have already done that also. ive tried about everything i can fine. the dock charges the watch just fine, i have also tried different usb cords. is there any way to adb over wifi?

Hey did you found any solution?
I am on the same boat, the watch can charge and works (laggy) fine, but I am unable to let it be recognize in any way.
I tried same USB cord with several phones and it's ok, but the watch cannot be in any way recognized...
Someone please help us out lmao, the watch is so damn laggy and battery is awful.
I managed to do adb over wifi on the watch, but obivously this do not help with unlocking bootloader or anything in fastboot mode..

Did you all download and try the latest adb? I was having this same issue and turned out that once I updated the adb from the Android sdk, everything worked perfectly.
Uhm, I'll try thank you!
I downloaded all the driver I could get, even from official android.com site, but still the issue is same:
When I plug USB cable in the PC, I get no chime sound or request of anything: tried putting the watch on cradle in standard running mode, in fastboot mode, or in recovery or even powered off.
Same result: no reaction from PC at all.
Tried connecting various phones with same cable as the watch cradle usb cable, everytime the driver kick-in and phone is detected and system either use Google USB driver or ask for drivers.
I read somewhere on the internet that if phone is not connected with Wear app the smartwatch is not connected? But how to do that if the watch is in fastboot mode for unlocking?
Btw I also found that the system update was to version NXG47C and now the fastboot menĂ¹ is indicating that bootloader is version LENOK22b (secure boot is enabled in green and lock state is locked).
I am lost, even the SDK Android drivers did not change a thing, but more than anything else I do not get why PC do nothing (not even chime sound) when plugging in, my cradle is original and all things come from its box from 2014..I never tried before connection so I do not know if that was working before, but I am starting to think I need a new cradle maybe...

I have 2 cradles (that -same thing as you- work with anything else instantly) and since the NXG47C/LENOK22b combo simply do not work, so it seems it isn't a cradle problem. :crying:

Sadly, no.
I was just looking to cradle options but what you are reporting here now makes me believing that really, it's something else...but probably only LG knows why they did that...Only reason I can think of, is to make us users purchase newer models locking out features that make it still good with AW 2.0
It's really a pity.
My only other idea is to try with a different OS, as atm I got only Win 10 64bit Creator Update , but I could use a old HDD and try with a Win 7 32bit...but it's a LOOOOOOOOONG shot as from my experience at least the chime sound should be there...:crying:
Oh! Different OS - I forgot to mention it before, sorry: I tried on Windows 10 and MacOS.
Again, both work fine with other Android USB-debugging-active devices.
Sorry for adding more bad news to an already bad story.. :/
I would have guessed this, sadly.
Well, this means something needs to be found to reactivate the fastboot connection from the devs...meanwhile, I found that the old dev options to lower the scale of the animations improves a bit the slugginess of the watch...
Let's hope someone notices this thread and find a way to help us out, as I'm 100% no-dev...

Exactly same thing about me. USB plugged in and nothing happen, I tried win 10 OS and win7 - same problem - I also thought it is cradle problem, I almost bought a new one but after you wrote I dont't think I could help look we are stucked with AW2.0 and only thing is hope someone will find solution for this...
I am still stuck on this situation, no way to make watch try the USB connection.
Could it be possible that the latest update disabled the USB ADB?
Can someone confirm if the USB ADB files are still in the package?
And if not, is it possible to add them back using for example ADB over wifi, through maybe the original recovery if not possible with system running?

It is really anointing when some other users write about downgrade without problems. I'm thinking how is it possible, so everyone got the same version of AW2.0, it is really weird
I have 2.0 on gwr and my win 8 recognised them. I just installed adb usb drivers in same way as I did for Huatch: as Motorola android sooner composite adb interface.

Probably installed with drivers for motorola phone. The thing is I did not install this exact adb driver on purpose. I found it as I was trying out anything to make the watch connect to PC. It was a pure luck.
same thing happen to me!
I thought it was the cradle, I have 3 cradles, though all is not original, all fail. so I though the cradle only can charge. But I vaguely remember I once using it to flash, but my memory is not so reliable, so it can be the original or the 'not original'.
I can connect ADB using the bluetooth debug mode and go to fastboot, but even in fastboot mode, my pc still cannot detect the watch.

Connecting to a pc

I'm on the latest update (8.1.0 may security) and I'm trying to connect my 7 plus to my PC, but nothing happens. The PC doesn't install any drivers and my phone isn't showing up in devices. I'm not getting the notification I'm supposed to get on my phone either, the phone is charging though. I have tried to connect to different PC:s as well.
Does anyone else have this problem?

Have you enabled developer mode and set USB debugging to on? Otherwise drivers or not the PC will not communicate with the Nokia.

When the phone is plugged into PC make sure
that on the status bar it is not showing charging on USB but MTP (file transfer) other than that it must be driver related.

Unplug the cable. Enable developer options, then find "default USB configuration" and change it to mtp. Replug the cable

since it doesn't even recognize that the device was connected to the pc, it was a guess. you can also try to plug it into a different USB port. for me, it did recognize the connection itself but it did not install the MTP driver properly. i just manually installed it from here: c:\Windows\INF\wpdmtp.inf (right click and install)
Going to settings -> System -> about phone, and then find the 'Build number' option, several click it until system ask for password to enable developer mode. After done this, return to settings -> System, find the 'Developer options' and click it, and enable the 'USB debugging' option. Now using the command 'adb devices' will show our phones.
Well I had same issue with Nokia 6.1 plus running 8.1.0 but I was using 3rd party cable which din't support data transfer except charging phone. So I used OEM Foxconn original charging cable and it quickly detect my phone and installed driver itself. try changing cable and turn on USB Debugging if needed.
Is this how you solved it bro, doesn't seem to be working for my phone?
Try a different cable. I had the same issue now and the problem was the cable I was using wasn't fit for data transfer. When I tried a cable which came with the phone it worked.
With the old cable I tried all the suggestions and nothing worked. I would connect the phone to my PC and it would only charge but no option to choose USB mode (file transfer).
Tried another cable and the USB mode option came up straight away. Hope it helps someone
