2.1 Hero automatically mounts the SDcard when you plug it in through USB

I have used the set default and have switched back and forth between mount and charge, and still the computer (actually tested on 4 pc's and one mac) does not reconize my phone nor does the icon in the top left indicate my sdcard is connected. I saw a post about others having the same issue but no one had a way to solve last time I checked. Now I cant find the post. Anyone have suggustions?

Settings > Connect to PC > Default connection type

This is not it. The default connection type is correct, it says "Charge only". As I said, when I plug in my phone to a computer, it says "Charge only" like it's supposed to, but it still mounts the SD card. It didn't use to do this before. Thanks anyway though. :)

Any ideas?

I wish I had that problem. Mine is the complete opposite. No matter how many times I switch the default, it won't even show that the phone is connected to my laptop eve though its charging.

That could be a usb cable issue. I know when I hooked my wife's Moment to my pc using my generic cable it was charging but wouldn't connect. When I used her "Samsung" cable it worked just fine. My Hero on the other hand connects just fine with the same generic cable, but check that.
