Help Mass Storage

Lurker
I get a message when I go to use my camera "Turn off USB storage before using camera". I also get this message when I go to view my Gallery - "SD card is being used as a mass storage device". I did not change any settings on my phone and cannot get this to go away. I would love use my camera and access my gallery again. Please help..
 
Welcome to the forums anj1905. You usually get this message if your phone is tethered a computer using the USB cable. If your phone is tethered to a computer unplug the cable. If it is not, try turning the Power all the way off, then turn your phone back on. If all that fails a factory reset is probably in order.
 
My phone did this exact same thing and about a month or two afterwards the phone is randomly shutting off after I use an app that requires data usage. I don't know if it is a sign of worse to come in your case but I hope not!

With your particular issue I found that the phone would take/upload pictures or it wouldn't. There was no rhyme or reason to the problem.
