[Q] Just another USB cable issue - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

PC recognizes the Nexus, I can see the icon in My Computer however it is empty.
The phone charges, but I have no access to the memory.
I've tried 3 different cables

USB Debugging activated? Fastcharge activated?

What I have noticed is that when you connect your phone with the screen off, the icon is empty. Then, if you just unlock the phone, it shows Internal Storage in the icon.

I can vouch for this. I was having the same issues before turning the screen on

Or, some builds of Android don't have MTP enabled by default. Go to Settings->Storage->click the overflow button in the bottom right->USB computer connection->make sure MTP is ticked. Give that a try if the above don't work

its worked!
then i synced my phone and the icon came back along with the "USB debugging connected" icon
i then pulled the usb cable and both icons disappeared! thanks
Two other things, is there a way to disable the bleep noise when i connect a usb cable to my phone and does "USB debugging" need to be enabled for "HTC Sync" to work? i tried disabling it and it disabled sync as well.

[Q] USB Settings

I can not find where to find USB Settings CyanogenMod 7.03
Now though, I cannot access the device over USB and the USB settings option (Settings -> About Phone -> USB Settings) is no longer present in the device!
I've rebooted the phone but it makes no difference. I get the audible alert when I connect the cable, but nothing on the device or my computer.
Has anyone seen this before and knows how to resolve it?
I guess yoir looking for usb. Plug it in then drag down the nnotifications bar, click on usb then press turn on.

anyway to lock my internal memory when plugging in USB?

it seems that even when my phone is locked with a pattern, if i just plug the phone into the computer via USB, it'll have full access to the internal memory. with my Epic Touch 4G, I had to enable USB storage or something which would require me to unlock the phone first.
Maybe a slightly obnoxious work-a-round...
But you could enable fast-charge.
And if your phone is pattern locked, they couldn't undo the fast-charge.
(Fast charge disables USB sharing).
Edit:
You could also go to settings>storage>options
and uncheck MTP.
I noticed that i have to unlock my gnex(using pin) for my internal storage to show up.
If I uncheck MTP, I have to check PTP. PTP will only show my pictures but those are the files that I want kept protected haha.
Fast Charge looks alright but then at times I'd want to be able to log in to check the files as well.
I'll the PIN instead of the pattern tonight. Thanks!

Default behaviour for USB cable

Is there a way to choose it? I tried in developer options, but even if I choose the MTP stuff, I still get the battery charging when connecting...
Thanks!

"no storages found"

When I connect my phone via the USB cable to my desktop machine, I get the message "no storages found". I could access the storage (internal and sdcard) just fine in the past (haven't done it for a few months). The device charges fine so I don't think it's a problem with the USB socket.
I've enabled debugging mode and rebooted a few times but the problem remains. Any idea what to do?
Thanks

when you plug the phone in, swipe down on the screen to see the notifications. this will show an option of how you want the 2 devices to interact, one of which is "file transfers" - pic this and the pc will shut explorer, when you open it again you'll see the phone's contents.
