Phone loses SD card

---

Why does my phone lose the SD memory card when i plug it in to my computer?

as soon as i plug in the usb cable, my phone loses what ever is on the SD card, and when i unplug it, the phone recognizes it again..any ideas?

thanks

When you connect the phone to your computer the computer allows you to use it as a disk drive in which you can drag and drop files onto your device. For some reason while this is happening you can not access it through your phone.

Next time you plug your phone in to your computer and a window comes up asking for activesync, diskdrive etc, press nothing (the screen goes away after 5 seconds) your phone will be completely normal and charging nicely from the computer

happy ending isnt it?

use the phone with activesync and not as a disk drive. .

You have your usb mode set as "disk drive" on the phone.

When it's so, when you connect USB the card is unmounted from the phone's OS so that the PC has direct access to it.

thanks,

where can i change that option? Is it possible to have the phone plugged in to a PC and watch a movie or music off the SD card?

Yes, if you choose activesync mode, as he said above. It normally asks you everytime you plug the USB calbe, but you most likely chose disk drive and checked the "don't ask again" checkbox. You can change it on settings tab, menu->more, connections, USB to PC.

ok, so my next question is, does activesync support windowsXP 64?

thats what we use here at work, and its giving me error messages when i try to use activesync.

What errors?
By default under Windows the software used to manage phones, which is called Activesync on XP, or WMDC on Vista/7, is not installed.

So if you plug the phone in ActiveSync mode on a PC that doesn't have it you'll see missing driver errors. If all you want is to charge the phone you can just ignore them, if you want to access the card/internal memory contents you need to download and install it.

My problem is, when i connect phone to PC with activesync and disconnect it, its working properly after this and i can use SDcard, but when connect it to pc like disc drive after disconnection off cable my phone dont see sdcard. This happening after ROM upgrade from 1.48 to 1.66. Can somone help
