Samsung phone wont connect as USB Storage

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the inability of a Samsung phone running Android Jellybean to connect as USB storage when linked to a computer. Users report that the device defaults to Media Device (MTP) mode, with only the Camera (PTP) option available.

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. But I need it to connect as USB storage so I can test run app on my phone. I have tried turning the USB debugging on, but doesn't seen to work. Anyone has a solution?
My phone's android system is Jellybean.

Try keeping the phone turned OFF. See if that works. On some, that is the only way the files show up on computer screen.
