    Default Epic mounts even when I chose just charging mode

    Whats the point of having 3 options when pluggng USB into PC...

    Like the Palm Pre.. when ever my Epic is plugged into my PC's USB port the phone has a pop-up option menu

    Just charging
    Tethering
    USB mode.

    I select just charging...

    But it still mounts....? is there a way for the phone to execute to just charge when that is What i chose for it to do..?

    I get..

    Charging

    Mass Storage

    Tethered

    What do you mean by mounting? If you select mass storage you should get a pop up from a PC that asks you if you want to download something like pictures or files.

    If you select tethering the handset will ask you for a network.

    If you select charging it stays connected but nothing should pop up on the computer or the phone and the phone should go into charging mode thats it.

    That's the issue..When I plug it in to my pc's UBS port, select charging. my Computer pops up with the typical "open device wizard"
    I have to un-mount it from my pc or eject it from PC ( drive E ) and then go to notification bar and "turn off USB"

    Are you using the USB cable that came with your phone? I have had an interesting thing where a non-stock USB cable brings up the three options when plugged into a car or wall charger. If I am using the stock cable and am not plugged into a PC it simply just starts charging.

    So it may be a cable issue.

    My issues are Only when I am plugged into Desktop computers @ work & at home Yes using cable that came with phone.

    I Have a 2 desktop PC's @ home. 1 Is running windoiws 7, the other is a dual boot running Windows Vista & Linux KDE4
    My Office PC is Running WindowsXp

    The Other is running Windows 7/Linux KdE 4.4

    When ever I plug the phone in Windows & Linux My device mounts under drive on the desktop even though I chose the Charging option

    I have the same (issue?) thing happen to me. I've turned off all autoplay so it doesn't actually affect use at all but when I've plugged the phone into my computer and selected charge only, it does mount the SD card. It shouldn't cause any problem on your phone unless you are writing a file and pull out the cable.

    $5 says you installed the doubleTwist app. By default, doubleTwist will force it to mount as mass storage.... regardless of what you pick.

    You can turn that off in the settings for doubleTwist.

    Thank you everyone for the replies..

    I had doubletwist installed..

    I just deleted it, funny thing is i do not like double twist as much as i like meridian or mixzing for media playback, i like the scrolling of meridian and menu UI on Mixzing..
