with ICS ( KA10 and Arconium ICS 1.1) i got a problem , when i connect my Phone to my Computer with USB , it automatically locks SD-Card for File Access from the Computer, how can i disable this feature? I just want to charge my Phone on the PC!
Thanks!

I have the same problem on the official ICS (.562)
I often charge the phone by the computer-usb, and each time, it mounts the SDcard to be available for the computer
I saw that there is a service USB connectivity and storage capability in the running services...
I unplug the USB, kill both services, and plug usb, then:
the service USB connectivity is running again, and SDCard is so plugged to the computer.
Problem in the option Connectivity (Xperia menu), we just have: MTP or MSC
(we don't have option "do nothing, and let me choice" )
seems like we are the only with this problem..
I installed the ROM arconium v2.0, and had the same result. I asked them why, and they gave the simple solution :
it's because we are using the MSC mode (mass storage).
To change it into the MTP mode (multimedia transfer):
Settings > Xperia™ > Connectivity > USB connection mode > MTP
It's better when we choose the correct options

I had this annoying problem too when I tried ICS and sadly changing the connection mode to MTP is not a solution for me since Sony messed up the protocol and doesn't work on Linux at all.

Thank you! I'm on official ICS and I was getting annoyed with this.

Solution I proposed need, when you want to plug your SDCard to the computer, to go each time in the menu Xperia to select the corresponding option (MSC <> MTP).
It doesn't correspond to that I needed, because I'm using a widget which allow to do this by one-click (like widgetsoid).
So, to keep this one-click ability, I finally freezed (with Titanium backup = root needed) the services 'USB capability' and 'Storage capability'.
Now, only my widget is activating/disactivating the USB
-> but be carefull: you can do it by a widget, but the option is not displayed in the toolbar and the menu anymore...
Little remark after some days of use:
To keep this one-click ability with a dedicated widget, only 'USB capability' has to be freezed. No need to impact the service 'Storage capability'.

When I connect my phone to my mac, it only shows up when I have kies running. I can't see it as a usb storage device like I can on windows. Is there a way to fix this?
I figured it out. I'll list the steps in case another OSX user needs help.
1. Enable USB Debugging mode (Settings > Applications > Development > Enable - USB Debugging
2. Connect your phone to your computer.
3. On your phone, bring down the drop down menu and select the USB connection, then click enable.
4. You should be able to use your phone as a USB storage device, now.
My ****ty car stereo won't recognize my phone with it rooted. When it's on stock and it uses the "MTP" for data transfer it will work. Are there any flashable zips that will change it back to MTP and still keep my rooted ROM?
Go to Settings -> Applications -> Debugging -> Disable USB debugging.
Wording may be a bit off, but that is from memory. When you turn on USB debugging, it disables MTP.
Thanks dude. I'll give it a try
i feel like i'm missing something obvious here, but i don't see pc software or charge only in usb connect menu anymore, also the menu doesn't come up when i plug in usb, i just get a prompt if i want to mound sd card or not, it used to have a menu with 5 options now it has 3 and i have to go into settings > storage > menu button > usb connection mode just to see the menu.
thanks in advance for any help on this.

K so i've been reading more on this and i see that google took charge only mode out of android.... is this correct? if so did they also take pc software mode out to prevent connection from pc running terminal?
is there any other way to use adb shell from terminal on my pc using usb connection than pc software mode?

I have no problem using adb with whatever default setting the usb connection is set to in CM10. Just make sure you have Developer Options turned on and Android debugging enabled.
k good to know thanks

Sorry to bring back this thread but I wasn't sure if you figured it out or not?
Anyways, try this:
In CM10.1, I select Mass Storage. Afterward, a screen pops up saying "Press to toggle Mass Storage". When it's not toggled on, that is PC Mode. When toggled on, it's Mass Storage
i figured out that its cyanogenmod that has missing modes when i changed back to a stock based ics they all came back. i have 6 or 7 modes in stock ics and i only had 3 in cm10

Yeah that's what I'm saying. I don't think they actually are missing. I believe they've combined the settings so it's easier to switch between pc and mass storage (one button toggle between the two).
yes i know they are combined i dont like it.

Oh sorry, I misunderstood you.
I used Helium to change to USB PTP mode and now mine tablet isnt recognized when connected to PC. Want to change it back to MTP mode, but I cant find anywhere in the settings to choose betweens USB modes and I just dont know how Helium broiught me there.
So where is this USB mode settings hiding in the settings?
edit:
Managed to change it back to MTP mode, be secret code *#0808# and there are few choice to choose from. I chosed just MTP, but there is also MTP + ADB and does it matter which to choose? Since the tablet is still not recognized when connected to PC as it used to do before?
Also, USB Mode is suppose in storage settings, but there is no ways to access it by just go into storage settings and only through Helium app. How do you enable this hidden settings in Storage?
Normal there should be "3 dots menu" to get there, but there isnt in mine tablet and do Samsung hve removed it or its a bug?
edit2:
Fixed it, by uninstall Helium and few other apps. After reboot and tablet is recognized when connect to pc and got USB mode choice by pulling notification down.

How did u dial *#0808# on a tablet?... I am having a issue connecting my tab to a computer. I have no idea where mtp mode is on this thing
Hi, having no problem connect with my SGW to my PC via USB previously, until recently, no more USB mass storage/USB debug icon appear at notification bar. (but charging phone via USB still working and fine)
Using
-Windows 7
-Samsung galaxy W with Cyanogenmod 9 from acro68.
Try searching through google and try all method still cannot fix it.
1) clear dalvik cache - fail
2) re-enable 'Andoid debugging' in 'Developer options' - checked, but fail
3) Storage > USB computer connection > Mass storage - fail... change to other type, also fail
4) try using Easy Tether from Google Play - fail
5) Reboot PC, use other PC - fail
6) Reboot phone with and without USB connecting to PC - fail
7) Install samsung driver in PC - fail
Not remembering I had changed any setting in phone, but the USB icon just won't appear once the USB is connected.
Having greenify installed in phone, not thinking this or other app will cause this problem.
Really need some help please

This solution is for those who will face the same problem
To fix same problem on my S4 mini I've tried:
Numerous PCs and USB cables
USB debugging (& Stay awake & Unknown sources) checked and unchecked
Unmounted & remounted SD card
Asking the PC to look for new hardware
Removed and re-installed PC drivers
Dial *#7284# or *#0808# and set MTP+ADB USB Setting
Nothing help me.
However, thanks to SparksGuy, I have the solution , as follows:
1. Remove phone from PC and remove battery to shut off phone.
2. Plug USB cable into PC.
3. Plug USB cable (other end) into phone.
4. The PC install new hardware appropriate drivers for a few minutes (phone without battery)
5. Unplug USB cable from phone
6. Put battery back in and turn on phone
7. As the phone boots, hold down Volume up and down. Phone boots into safe mode.
8. Plug USB cable into phone.
9. I saw notification about USB MTP-connecting on the phone. PC have found my phone!
10. After the reboot in normal mode problem was fixed
