Not too sure how feasible this is but wouldn't it be nice to be able to toggle between Mass storage, PC Suite and Charging only USB connection modes without having to disconnect then reconnect the USB cable?

Perhaps one of you programming gods can whip something up for the Status bar, or a widget for the desktop for the N900?

I second this request; I change a lot between PC suite for syncronizing and Mass storage to access my memory card; it would be nice to be able to tap on the screen to change the mode.

Can you find where is the source for the .so module which is used by the status bar to display USB mode? Minor change in the code would solve this problem.

Yes please. A toggle between Mass storage & PC Suite would be fantastic.

That is a really good idea. I wonder if there a dbus function for this.

toggle between mass storage and suite mode (does this even work for anyone? lol) would be cool. but going back to charging mode, dont we have to eject the device from the computer before we can do that?

Mass Storage scripts:
/usr/sbin/osso-usb-mass-storage-disable.sh
/usr/sbin/osso-usb-mass-storage-enable.sh
/usr/sbin/osso-usb-mass-storage-is-used.sh
PC Suite scripts:
/usr/sbin/pcsuite-disable.sh
/usr/sbin/pcsuite-enable.sh

Use lsmod to check status:
g_file_storage.ko for mass storage
g_nokia.ko for PC Suite mode

Doesn't the pc connectivity manager from the repos already do that?
