We should not fix it.

Enabling USB mass storage prevents Gaia apps from accessing memory card when USB cable plugged.  It means you are not able to use Gallery app when you connected USB cable for charging only.

We should only enable it when user really wants to access USB storage from PC.

agree with the assessment.

Another concern is security (per Kanru's comment on IRC).  Anyone would be able to modify the content on the sdcard if it's enabled.

Comment 9

[Daniel Coloma:dcoloma]

This seems to be like a new feature, unless David or Beatriz believe this is a cert blocker we should just mark it as tef-

Comment 10

[Joe Cheng [:jcheng] (please needinfo)]

triage: tef-, not blocking. but please consider this for improvement in later release (such as notification to allow user to be aware where to turn on USB mass storage)

Comment 11

[Tim Guan-tin Chien [:timdream] (please needinfo)]

Need UX input for this new behavior (see comment 10)
