Mass Storage Mode not working
- Mass storage mode for phone's memory isn't working for me. When I plug into my computer, I can see the SD card but not the phone. Mass Storage Mode is turned on. I tried different cables, rebooting phone and rebooting computer.
Any other ideas.

You should see two new drives when plugged into a PC, BlackBerry1 and BlackBerry2. The latter being the SD card, the former being the device memory.
Try unplugging and plugging back in. If that doesn't work then maybe try un-installing and re-installing the desktop manager. Also, what OS are ya using in your PC? Vista and Windows 7 are known to have some USB issues, as they have some extreme power management then previous OS's. Search the S1 forum for the solution.
Edit Oops, thought I was in the S2 forum. Doesn't matter same solution applies..

- All I have found is make sure mass storage mode is turned on or if your running vista or windows7, check the usb settings.
That fix seems like its for the micro SD part, I'm having issues with the internal memory part.

go to options
select memory.
Disable Compression
Switch 'AUTO ENABLE MASS STORAGE MODE' to NO
now switch to off MASS STORAGE MODE SUPPORT.
Press the blackberry button and select to save
Now go back into the MEMORY options
There should be an option there to ENABLE MASS STORAGE MODE, select this option and then switch back on compression, and also switch back on AUTO ENABLE MASS STORAGE MODE
Now select SAVE again
When I did this it started working for me again
Might work for you as well.

Did you install any third party apps prior to this behavior?
Hope this helps...11-11-09 11:24 AMLike 0 -
You may want to check that setting.11-11-09 02:25 PMLike 0 - This didn't make any difference, and neither did the patch that I downloaded from the BlackBerry site. Anyone have any ideas?11-11-09 02:32 PMLike 0

If I do not enable mass storage mode, I do see a device called "Blackberry 9530" on the My Computer, and underneath it are Device Memory and Media Card but access via this path is excruciatingly slow.11-13-09 12:56 PMLike 0 - All of the above failed for me too. I finally figured out that the drive letter the BB was trying to use (Drive B) was being used by another drive and my BB was assigned Drive 0. This worked to assign a new drive letter to my BB so windows could see it:
1. Go to Start Menu and click Run
2. Put in 'DISKMGMT.MSC' and hit OK
3. The Disc Management box will come up. You'll see under the first column labeled 'Volume' that one of the drives is named 'Blackberry'. Right click on it.
4. Select 'Change Drive letter and Paths'
5. A box will pop up showing the drive letter currently assigned to the blackberry. Click 'Change'
6. Select a Drive letter you KNOW is not being used (obviously C and D are out but double check in your Windows Explorer to find one not being used).
7. Scroll down the letters to the one not being used.
8. Hit ok.
Now check in windows explorer for the drive letter you just created. It should be assigned to your blackberry (assuming Mass Media Mode is turned on and your BB is connected)
