Is there any option which allows you to enable "only charging" when connected to PC USB port (not MTP or PTP).
I have read that if screen is locked when pluged into PC USB, JB will not allow file transfer. That is not my case. Even if locked, autoplay starts and I am able to see files on device.
I am asking that from security reasons. If I am somwhere were I just wan to charge battery and I don't want enable file transfer between device and PC.
Thanks.

have you tried copying or editing files on your phone when it is in that state?

that is interesting as I have not run into this issue or seen any configuration to control this
maybe there is someone else that has also had this problem that might be able to provide the solution
lets wait and see
Hi! If I have locked screen, I can't access my data. But it depense on, how lock screen is set up. If I set "maze lock" i can't access data, but if I set only "slide" to unlock my phone, I can access data even if phone is locked.
I didn't try with maze because I don't use it. Maybe there is some setting, tweak or something which allows charging only mode?
If I just want to charge using someones pc I don't want to bring home troyans etc. on my SD.

I think that you have to have securited lock screen at first. If you have only slide for unlock than there is no reason for blocking access to phone and card memory while connected to PC.

I dont think like that. There is a reason. Just one example. If you are at friends house and your bat is low. You connect your phone to his pc while you are drinking coffee. Nobody is touching phone. There is no need of sec lock. Ok? You come home, connect phone to your pc and... Your AV protection start to freak out.
I think there need to be an option "charge only" even if sec lock is switched off.

Only thing that comes to my mind is cutting data wires in your USB cable, this will be 100% safe but probably not what are you looking for

Yes. Thats one way. But it is not so good solution because you need always to carry your cable with you. Software cutting of data traffic would be much better solution.

YOU ARE USING THIS METHOD AT YOUR OWN RISK!
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO YOUR DEVICE
Use SQLite Editor to open /data/data/com.android.providers.setting/databases/settings.db
open table secure
turn settings starting with mount_ums_ to 0, then restart device

Maybe an app/script that would rename the system app responsible for USB storage management so it's not accessible by the system when you connect phone to PC? Just an idea.

Like the topic says. My phone is no longer recognized by my pc so I can't use adb or turn on mass storage. I've rebooted, power cycled, installed drivers, and anything I can think of. This is all via the usb cable.
Any ideas would be great. Im not home till tomorrow morning but still give me some ideas to go on so I get my phone back in shape!

Have you checked to see if it is a damaged USB cable?
Would it be damaged if it still charges the phone?

That is possible. It may not be getting 2 way communication but still have +5v and gnd in working order. Does it show up as a problem device in system properties, assuming its windows? If the phone is charging, I would tend to believe it to be more of a driver issue rather than phone issue.
Yes it still shows in the system as a device but windows says it has malfunctioned. Its odd how its worked since March till now.

I was having the same problem but I rooted my phone and used it on my pc a few times and then my pc would see but didn't know what it was so I went back to the stock Rom but haven't checked it yet ill let you know when I do.

Trying reinstalling your USB drivers. Also, if you have access to another computer see if another computer recognizes your Hero.
Narrow it down to which device is malfunctioning.
ok so now I'm back onto a rooted stock rom and it is working fine with my PC.
I have the GT-7000 and I am to understand that both mobile hotspot and usb tethering come as default features. ive seen a simple guide on how to get it working and it basiscally states the obvious: Check it on. The wireless hotspot is no problem, its working, but the usb hotspot option is forever grayed out and I cannot turn it on. Tried every stupid simple thing but it never becomes selectable. I downloaded and installed pdanet and that works fine but i want to know why the native setting isnt functional so I can just hot swap between computers without having to go through that install process on each computer wherever I may be. Anyone?
EDIT: For some odd reason the next time I tried on another day the option became select-able. I still dont know the reason it stayed grayed out before but at least its working now. So yay =)
im assuming your phone is connected to the pc when you are trying it?
what rom are you using?

ON 4.1/4.2 I had no issues with mounting phone to transfer files. Even on GPE roms with 4.3 no issues. But all 4.3 sense roms I cannot get it to mount and allow me to transfer files. What it does right now when I plug it in goes through found new hardware attempting to install, no go, or select advanced and it says not installed because it couldn't find necessary software. Then it comes up with HTC One Camera connected and shows stupid options that don't help me at all like; Dropbox and microsoft options and stuff.
Things I've already attempted
Removed drivers
attempted to re-install them
USB debugging on, rebooted between selecting/deselecting options phone & computer.
Removed HTC Sync, attempted to reinstall get an error upon trying 1152 Error extracting to temp location, I cannot change its desired location though, stupid lol.
Cannot delete C:\HTC folder cause of passthrusvr.exe I don't need or want that (my understanding it is for passing internet connections and such).
I'm on XP, I know its a dinosaur, it gets what I need done, until now lol.
Oh ya, it connects fine to other computers like my works and a friends. Just not mine which has all my music on it... :-\
I just wanna move some music over and stuff, hate going back and forth on backups to do so.
I won't be available til tomorrow to trouble shoot or late tonight depending on how things go later.

Umm sounds like the problem isn't with your phone but with your computer and windows is such a finicky os that not one solution works for all kind of thing. Just a thought are your firewalls configured properly? What does the computer show when plugging it in device manager? Sometimes my phone and laptop don't play along and its either because I have fast charge enabled in kernel or I just turn debugging off always works then and the phone is recognized as mass storage device. Good luck

I don't use anti virus or have any firewalls active as far as I know, it looks for cdc serial but then nothing happens so it mounts as an HTC One camera device. Stock kernel as well, appreciate the trying tho.

And its def a computer thing which I'm not super knowledgeable on unfortunately. I've got it to connect on other PCs and laptops without a hiccup, also have tried differs cables also, before that's suggested too. I'm almost positive it's just the leftovers from drivers that I can't seem to fully get rid of.

Hey guys, need some help. I've checked debug, and on the gear manager check allow installs from non samsung app store but when I try to connect to computer it seems that it thinks it's offline or asleep. I've tried wondershare and says it's sleeping and when I try to use the terminal always says offline. Any help would be great. Thanks.
Enable MTP is storage settings?

Make sure check ur gear, everytime u plugged it to the computer it will show u a dialog box or msg on the gear. U have to check to always allow pc to use or show gear. Not exactly with the words but that what I mean. You have to check "ok" and always allow so next time u plug it in the pc will detect ur gear and will not show offline

I've used Motorola Connect with my Moto X from Telcel on Google Chrome with success. But recently I noticed it is not signing in and trying to do so fails. It gives out the following error:
Couldn't connect to your phone using "my email".
Make sure your phone is turned on and connected to the internet, then click Try again. Still not working? On your phone, go to Settings > Active Notifications. Make sure Motorola Connect is turned on and using the same Google account.

Thanks, worked great. Just had trouble finding the app to remove the data from. Turned out to be "ID del Dispositivo" (mexican phone) instead of the Motorola Connect app.
