This might have been covered already, but a search did not turn up any thread directly related to the problem I am seeing.
When I first got my GNEX, I could plug my phone into a USB port on any of my Windows machines (regardless of version) and get a mass storage drive icon. I could then open it, view files on the phone, copy, move, ect. No problem, just like plugging in a thumb drive. Since the last update, I can't do any of this. XP and Vista will see the phone and may even give me a little phone icon, but that is it. I can't open it, copy files from/to, ect. This is really frustrating since this was the easiest way for me to dump files (especially large video files) from the phone. Also, it was the easiest way to dump files to it. With my old HTC's, I could pull the card and pop it into my external card reader (if it wanted to give me problems), but I don't have that option with this phone. Everything is held hostage on the phone.
I have not had any luck with installing any of the drivers, so I don't think that is the issue. Besides, I never needed any driver before, except the built-in Windows driver to read a mass storage device. When I plug the phone in, I only get a couple of options. One is for media transfer, but that doesn't seem to do anything. I miss the old "USB Drive" option.
My GNEX is running stock ICS with the latest update and I am UNROOTED.
Any help would be great! Thanks!
