Samsung phone wont connect as USB Storage

AI Thread Summary
When connecting an Android phone running Jellybean to a computer via USB, users may encounter limitations where the device only connects as a media device or offers the Camera (PTP) option, preventing access to USB storage. To resolve this issue, enabling USB debugging is a common suggestion, but it may not always be effective. A potential solution is to keep the phone turned off while connecting it to the computer, as this has worked for some users to ensure that files are recognized and displayed correctly on the computer.

When I connect the phone to the computer via USB cable, it shows that the device is connected as a media device, and when I select for other USB options only Camera(PTP) is available.

Try keeping the phone turned OFF. See if that works. On some, that is the only way the files show up on computer screen.
 
Hmm thanks Ill try. :D

Thread 'ChatGPT Examples, Good and Bad'

I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI. Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI. (I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...
