This is a problem I just recently started having. Whenever I plug in a usb cable to my phone, the sd card unmounts itself, in that order. If I plug in the cable and THEN insert my sd card, no problem. I've formatted my card on my PC, and also on my phone, and the setting to charge when plugged in and not to set as a disk drive is set. It seems however that the phone is ignoring that setting and mounting as a disk drive. Anyone else having this issue?

On the ROM I am currently running I don't have that problem.

However, I have run into it where if you set the default to be Charge Only without prompting it will ignore that. If you set it to prompt you and you select charge only then it did not happen.

So, try changing it to prompt you to select and see if that helps.

Thanks for the tip. I tired it and it didn't work unfortunately. I set the default to Charge Only without prompt and then as default with prompt. Even went do disk drive both ways and then back to charge only to see if it was a setting that needed to be reapplied. Nothing has worked yet. :/

Do you have DoubleTwist or Winamp installed. If so there is a setting in those applications called. "Enable Auto-Mount" Deselect that and you should be set. It could be another application too. These ae the only two that I have heard of it with.

Genius! Winamp was the culprit. Thanks for the tip. Learn something new everyday.

Ugh! So obvious in hindsight, I started having this problem right after installing Winamp. Thanks :)
