Please be more verbose? Can you connect it to a computer using mass storage mode and can it be seen on the PC? If it can could you try a safe removal and then eject it?

Is your USB mode set to mass storage automatically when connected? If so change it to Ask me always. This way some USB chargers which are considered as a data cable by the phone won't cause the unmounting of your EMMC partition.

srry

the n9 thinks its connected to a computer when it is not like now. So i no longer have access to the camera because the n9 thinks its connected to a computer when its not.

I can still connect to a computer and eject it but that doesnt solve the problem.

Are you charging the phone when this happens? Some chargers are mistaken for a computer and results in what thedead1440 describes above. Use the original charger or take thedead1440's advice.

If you aren't charging when this happens you probably have a bigger problem and should take it to nokia care.

Well, it's likely that /Mydocs is not mounted automatically to the system when freed from external resource.

You could try to mount it manually and see if its the mounting daemon that's broken or if there is something else amiss.


1.) Go to the console, and check that it's not mounted;

"ls -la /home/user/MyDocs"

It should show nothing but the . and .. directory entries. If there is the usual lot of stuff, though, then the problem is NOT with mounting but something else.

2.) Then do "mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /home/user/MyDocs" as root.

Observe what error messages are given, or none if it goes fine.
Then, if no problems, try to use camera.
