| Feb 22, 2011 at 20:40 | comment | added | mit | The device appears now on the linux machine under /dev/disk/by-id after I plugged it to a different USB port. From the lilnux syslog I could see that there was some problem connecting too the first USB port. I am accepting your answer now. i will ask a different questions for the mounting problems I am now having. Thank you very much! | |
| Feb 22, 2011 at 20:18 | comment | added | mit | Yes, it is there. Good that you found it for me. I have now set it to mass storage. (I had to deactivate USB Devlopment mode). I plugged and unplugged, activated and deactivated (mounted unmounted) several times after this. Still no device visible on the linux machine. i will now follow your link from the last comment (androidforums) | |

Hmm I just searched around a bit and it appears USB Settings might be in Settings -> About phone, can you see if it's there and if so, set it to Mass Storage?

Turning on USB Debugging actually helps a bit. I have now a different USB connection item in the notification bar, which can be switched to mount or unmount. When I set it to mount the folder "My Files" on the android device is no longer accessible. But how can I mount anything on the linux machine? /dev/disk/by-id still has no more drives in it. Also /media is empty.

You can check in Development as well -- try enabling/disabling USB Debugging and see if it has any effect. If it's enabled, disabling it might actually make the USB Settings menu show up.

I went to Settings --> Applications, but there is no submenu USB Settings. I see the submenus Unknown sources, Manage applications, Running services, Development and Samsung Apps in there. I will keep searching for USB Settings, hoping it is somewhere hidden.
