Can't cleanly eject my Samsung Jet phone

Hi boys and girls,
I just bought a new phone (hear, hear). It's a Samsung Jet, also known on some markets as a Samsung S8000/8003. It's a nice phone, whose firmware I almost immediately flashed to get rid of the lousy décor my mobile provider (French Orange) had felt obliged to put in it. I've noticed one strange thing, though, and I can't tell if it's related to me flashing the ROM, because I hadn't tried to connect it to my MacBook Pro before changing the firmware: every time I connect the phone and the Mac with the USB data cable that came with the Jet, I can't seem to eject both drives (the phone's internal memory and the SDHC card); I click on the Eject button in the left column of the Finder, but after a few seconds, the icon pops back up. Since there are two drives to eject, I've barely ejected one and started to eject the other that the first one comes back online.
Driving me nuts... Do you guys know any tricks to eject this phone cleanly?

You mentioned you updated the firmware...
How did you actually do that on a mac?
I wish! To my knowledge, there's no way to upgrade a Samsung phone firmware from a Mac. I had to use my other PC with Windows XP and to install the necessary software, ie Samsung's New PC Suite, along with TKFile Explorer. But that's for another forum...
As for my issue, strangely enough, both drives on my Jet show up on my Desktop, but not in the Finder... Heres's what hitting the Info button gives me, for the SD card and the internal memory, respectively (sorry, it's a French phone...):

  • How can I print from my Samsung Galaxy note 8.0 to my HP office jet 6500 a e710n.

    How can I print from my Samsung Galaxy note 8.0 to my HP office jet 6500 a e710n.  I live in the courty and do not have a router and I am using a desktop computer with a Wireless USB Adapter SMCWUSB-N2 installed.

    Hi raraock,
    I would like to help you with this issue. What are you trying to print from your Samsung Galaxy Note tablet?
    I worked on behalf of HP.

    I have a Samsung S5 and I got an email with a ringtone on it so I would like to know how can I put that ringtone on my phone from my email?

    Did the ringtone come as an attachment? If so just save the file. If you downloaded it when you opened the email it should be in your downloads.

    I recently bought an Ipod touch 2nd gen, (Ebay). It's in great shape and seemed to be wiped clean.
    When I connect (via windows computer) to Itunes with usb cord the Ipod icon shows, but the only function you can do is eject. When its in the upper right hand corner and you click on it all you get is a done button, when it's in the side bar right click and your only option is eject, left click has no effect. If I go to "file">devices it's as if there are no devices connected.
    I purchased a song with Itunes on the Ipod itself, and it transferred to my library on the computer automatically .
    I have an Iphone 5 and a nano that are still functioning with Itunes thru computer so I'm thinking the issue is with the Ipod touch. I've reset it several times, rebooted it, with no change.
    nothing on the internet has helped, I called tech support and got disconnected. Should I take it to a retail store? I just don't know where to go next, I'm of course willing to pay for tech or repair. looking for suggestions.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer          
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • How can I move the contacts from my Samsung flip phone to my iphone 5S?

    I have a new iphone 5S to replace my iphone 4.  Due to a long story I can't back up my contacts from icloud or iTunes.  Is there a way that I can back up the contacts on my Samsung flip phone to the 5S?

    See if your carrier can do it for you. They often have machines (one of the brand names is Cellbrite) that you can hook the phones to and it will copy contacts from one to another.

  • I have moved my sdcard over to my samsung brightside phone. but the videos can not be read. Is there anyone out there whom may have experienced the same issue?

    i have moved my sdcard over to my samsung brightside phone,. but the videos can not be read. Is there anyone out there whom may have experienced the same issue? I also tried transferring my files over to my pc first, then reformatted the sdcard, then transferred to the appropriate files back onto the sdcard and put back into samsung.

        Thanks for the info SuzyQ. lorsa, the community is correct, pictures and videos can be saved differently on other phones. What phone did you remove the SIM card from? Where did you purchase your SIM card from? Your previous phones SD card and format may not be compatible with your Brightside device. I show you advise that you reformated your memory card but make sure the files are saved correctly. Listed below are the different type of files you can save, receive, and view for pics and videos with your device.
    Files that are compatible with the Brightside device:
    JPEG (*.jpg, *.jpeg, *.jpe)
    BMP (*.bmp)
    PNG (*.png)
    GIF (*.gif)
    3G2 (*.3g2)
    3GP (*.3gp)
    MPEG4 (*.mpg)
    Please let me know if the information above helped with your issue. Please reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns. Make sure you always power cycle periodically. You may also need to peform a hard rest for your phone.

  • How Can I Clean Memory, Cache...An​d Boost Memory On Playbook (like clean & boost memory on Blackberry phone)?

    Dear bros, I have a question which I concern about: How Can I Clean Memory, Cache...And Boost Memory On Playbook (like clean & boost memory on Blackberry phone)? I want to to this because I want my playbook run smoothly.
    Thanks all.

    The PlayBook manages memory through the OS, there's no 'memory cleaner' like on the BlackBerry phones.
    In the browser, there are settings to clear cache, cookies and history which do improve the browser performance.
    You may want to try and change the PlayBook multitasking mode. Go into Settings - General and change 'Application Behaviour'. Showcase is full multitasking (slower), Paused pauses all programs when minimised and makes the PlayBook save battery and run a little faster.
    Hope that helps.

  • Can I sync iCal with my Samsung 740 phone?

    I recently bought a new phone - Samsung 740. I would prefer not to buy a data plan but just sync my calendar to my MacBook Pro. When I ask if this can be done at the Verizon store, all I get are blank looks. They sell a USB cable but have no other advice. Can someone advise me? Thank you.

    No you can't. Only two Samsung phones are compatible with iSync because Samsung hasn't bothered to implement the industry standard SyncML protocol in most of their phones.
    Did you check Apple's iSync Compatible Devices page before purchasing?
    http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/isync/devices.html
    Also, Verizon have a habit of crippling Bluetooth and syncing features of some of their phones, thereby forcing you to use 'over-the-air' (i.e. costly) functions.

  • Can I use the samsung galaxy phone as a hot spot for the ipad

    can I use the samsung galaxy phone as a hot spot for the ipad

    If your Cell carrier supports it, you should have an option in your phone for "Portable Wifi Hotspot"  under Wifi and networks.
    Look in your Phone's manual for specifics.
    http://www.fusiondub.com/how-to-turn-your-samsung-galaxy-s3-into-a-wi-fi-hotspot -2/
    Once you set up the Hotspot, the iPad can connect to it like a regular Wifi network.

  • How to properly eject samsung android phone from mac

    Any pros?
    My mac doesn't even recognize the samsung android phone.
    I can't use Android File Transfer, it says device not found.
    Don't see "unmount" or "mount" in the phone's notification bar.
    Android forum *****.
    Any help?

    Hi n,
    If it's not mounted, there should be no need to unmount it. Open Disk Utility and see if it's recognized there, and/or System Profiler.
    Also, you're showing 10.6.4. You might want to run Software Update to get up to 10.6.8.
