Storage card disappears when I hook up to data cable

Anyone else having this problem and know how to correct it? As soon as I disconnect it the phone says "Photo Storage Card Inserted. Would you like to view the pictures on your storage card now? yes or no?. Also the import media while pops up like i'm loading a digital cam. So do yall think the pc think the phone is a digital camera? Thanks in advance guys

Are you using active sync or disk drive when you connect your phone? You should not have this issue if you connect via active sync.

There's an application in my ROM, sorry I don't know the name, that gives me a popup to select between activesync or Storage Card, and one other option. It also has a check to "never ask again"

If you select the Storage Card option, it unmounts the SD card from the phone and lets it mount to the computer instead for faster data access.

This kinda sounds like what you have.

Using my phone to jam out in my car, I was playing music from the SD card. Got out when I got to school, the phone couldn't find the card. I spent all of one class looking for it, and eventually thinking my car stero messed something up so that the TP couldn't see the SD card... I hard reseted the phone, but it didn't work.

I'm pissed. I'm in classes all day, so I can't really use PPCGeeks search as it frustrates me since I'm used to using a PC for this. But I searched, and couldn't find much so I hard reset, thinkin that it would fix my issue.

If I would only have patience and knew this before...

It happened again! I was using the phone through my stereo in the car to play music... using the Disk Drive. Worked flawlessly. Get out of the car, plug it in to the PC, works. Then all of a sudden, my storage card goes missing

I tried to reconnect, tried soft resetting, even tried connecting in the car again. When I do Disk Drive option I can see the card on my PC and play music, no problem. When I unplug, or place in Active Sync option, can't see the card. Can't even see the card when it's NOT plugged in.

Tried using that USBtoPC program, several different ways. Doesn't work anymore.

What the hell is going on? Anyone seen this before or am I just cursed with storage cards and Touch Pros???

Any help would be fantastic!!!

Anyone? I really don't want to hard reset the phone. Is there any way for activesync to recognize the phone or for the phone to recognize the storage card???

what am I doing wrong?

Ok, I don't know if this is the solution or the reason for everyone's problem in this thread; however I have a laptop I use at work and when I first connected my TP to the laptop and chose "Disk Drive" option, the next time I tried to access files on the storage card they were "corrupted". Ended up that my laptop has encryption software on it and any files locally or on thumb drives get encrypted. Since the phone in "Disk Drive" mode acted like an external thumb drive, all my files became locked. I luckily found a file that Credant placed in EVERY directory and I got them deleted, but not until I had to uninstall and reinstall several apps before I realized what had happened. So I choose "Active Sync" every time now. Just an FYI

That encryption idea has nothing to do with my situation, but I appreciate the effort.

For some ungodly reason, my phone won't recognize my storage card. It will play music off of it when i connect it to my car stereo and use the "disk drive" option, it will allow my PC to see the storage card with the "disk drive" option. It will use activesync properly, and everything else works.

But the phone, when in activesync or unplugged, won't recognize the storage card. I really don't want to do a hard reset, or have this happen again. Can anyone give me any insight to what is going on, or any help? I would GREATLY APPRECIATE IT!!!
