Help Fascinate and USB Cable

[Kentuckyblue]

Just got my new phone and feeling my way around. First I wanted to load some pictures from my computer. The only way I could make that work was to remove the Micro SD card, stick it in the computer, and load the pictures, and insert SD card back into phone. Worked fine; just awkward. When I connect the phone to the computer via USB cable, computer asks me to insert driver disk, which I don't have. What is the purpose of a USB cable?

That's an unusual issue. I connect my phone with my Macbook Pro using the USB cable and it connects flawlessly. You do have to mount the USB in a setting in the notification bar.

Do you have usb debugging on or off?

I'm going through the same thing. It seems the Fascinate is very picky about what kind of usb port it uses. On my 3 year old Dell desktop at home, the phone isn't recognized at all when I plug it in to any of the ports (front or back) yet when I plug it in to my year old Fujitsu laptop at work, it's recognized right away. Pretty lame.

I didn't have any issues after I turned off the USB debugging.

Pull the notification bar down and you should see an option to mount the drive. Once you do that, you should be able to click on the drive on your PC and get into the files. Also, I had to turn OFF USB debugging on the phone as well.

It made me feel dumb, but it worked for me
