Cannot mount phone to computer or connect using Eclipse

---

I'm trying to use my new Epic to test an application I made a while ago but I can't seem to get Eclipse or the Android Eclipse plugin to recognize my phone.

The android documentation says that I need to install the USB driver package from the list of available packages in the SDK and AVD manager, but there is no USB driver package. In addition, I am unable to even mount my EPic to my computer to do simple file transfers, regardless of whether I use the drivers that Windows downloads from Windows Update or if I use the official driver package from Samsung.com. Although I will get a drive to show up when I plug my phone in, it will be a light grey and attempting to access it leads to it timing out after a few minutes.

I've attempted this on 32-bit and 64-bit editions of Windows 7, and I do have USB debugging enabled. I'm probably missing something since this is my first Android phone, but I sure can't figure it out and I consider myself pretty proficient with this type of stuff

Try one of the USB ports on the back of the CPU that are directly connected to the MB. Stupid? I thought so too until it worked for me.

Also make sure you are using the compatible version of Eclipse IDE and that you went through the steps in there to install the SDK plugin properly.

The plugin doesn't work with the newest versions of Eclipse properly. That said if you cant' mount your SD then your computer isn't recognizing it. The EPIC specific drivers were posted yesterday if you aren't using them do so and try the different USB port.

I originally tried the front USB ports, and then tried the rear ports and got the same results. I am confident that Eclipse and the SDK plugin are playing nice together because I used them extensively in developing the application a couple of months ago, including using a virtual android device for testing.

The Drivers that I downloaded from Samsung were specific to the Epic and were last revised today, so they are the most recent.

I downloaded the drivers from Samsung website but am still unsuccessful in mounting my sd card to my Windows 7 64bit pc. Anybody has found a solution??

i had to edit 70-android.rules to include the samsung drivers code 04e8

I fiddled for a couple of hours and it just started working. No idea what I did, so sorry I can't be of more help to other people with this problem.

i'm not sure what this eclipse thing is, but i was having problems connecting my phone to my computer.

but after doing a battery pull, it all started working again. sounds noobish, but hey, it worked!
