When plugging in a USB cord to my phone and computer, i get 3 different options (not counting none) for how the phone should handle it. Can anyone explain what the difference is between them (usb mass storage is obvious and can be ignored).
Thanks
Phone portal gives you some sync options, none gives you... nothing except a device connected to a computer. None is useful for ADB.... Windows Media Sync is useful for syncing media with WMP11

Since i have Litening 1.0 and Kies doesnt work with it, i was wondering if there is any way to make the default action when i plug in the USB to go to USB mass storage mode or at least ask what to do like I9000 instead of automatically going straight to Kies connection mode, so i dont have to remember every time to go into settings, connectivity, usb and click 2 times there...
Activate usb debugging in settings> applications> development.
Sent from my GT-I9100
Thanks, i completely forgot about debugging mode ... Now if there was just a way to make it display the connection dialogue without having to pull down the notification bar that would completely satisfy my laziness .
Just to be sure, using USB debugging mode doesnt pose any additional risk right? I know i needed it to root my old I9000 but never used it besides that...
No, debugging can be left enabled without any issues. Occasionally root apps require it to be enabled. I only turn mine off to connect to kies and then I reenable it after.
kies dont seem to work for me so this is the only and best way to connect via usb! Always used this method with my nokia n900
Anyway, a select list when connecting something via USB would be nice, similar to HTC...
If you plug something into the USB-port, it asks what to do:
- Mass storage
- Sync (Kies)
- Tethering
- USB host mode
- ...
Anyone knows how to probably achieve this?
Would also be wonderfull something like a widget...
+1 for widget
+10 for list
My phone is always on DeBugging Mode. The only exemption is if I want to connect to KIES then I deselect the Debugging Mode and plug in the USB cable.
I have never found a problem with any program running when it was in Debugging Mode.
Tasker?
I have multiple profiles for when it's plugged in (either day or night or at work). I'm not sure if you can differentiate between AC charge and USB charge though.
I DO know that you can make your own Task in Tasker that acts as a widget to do most of the things mentioned here...
edit. there _is_ a Context item that allows a task to be set based on whether the power connection is recognized as a 'USB Power'...
Most other android devices i know of you can plug em in with a USB cable and it shows up on the computer like a USB memory stick. Thus far with every setting i try the prime shows up as like a camera or MTP device or whatever, makes it a pain to transfer files and it blocks some system files.
Am i missing something here or is there a way to make the prime just show up as a USB memory stick on my computer?
Have you installed the USB driver from ASUS?

Mine shows up as an MTP device but also shows the drives and they are drag and drop accesible.
What is going on? None of my computers are even seeing any of my phones.
I have two android phones (Samsung Note 5 and S8+) and three windows computers. One using Windows 10 and two using Windows 8.1. I have tried every cable I have with every computer and every phone. They don't even show up in device manager. There's absolutely no recognition that anything has plugged into the computer. But the phones are receiving charge. The USB ports are working fine. They work perfectly well for flash drives and other peripherals like my printer. I've got developer mode turned on for both phones. I've activated USB debugging, and I've tried it without USB debugging. I tried revoking USB debugging authorization and restarting USB debugging. I tried MTP and PTP. Obviously everything is fully updated. AND I reinstalled the android driver! I can't think of anything else to try!
WHAT IS GOING ON? I've never seen anything like it!
Hey guys. I'm sorry if this has already been posted, but I've searched everywhere on the internet and could not find this same problem. No troubleshooting tips helped either.
I own a Lenovo P2 and until recently I could connect to the PC via USB without any problems. Now, my PC doesn't recognize the phone at all. I mean that it doesn't even show up as faulty device or searching for drivers.
With no computer does my phone connect anymore.
The USB cable is not faulty either, nor the PC USB ports and the phone's jack, and the option for MTP is selected. Despite all this it only charges.
Here is the catchy part as the USB configuration setting seems bugged out for me. No matter which option I choose, MTP will show up as selected, yet the phone will only charge.
Hi, when I connect my Poco with USB cable to my computer the installation of the drivers are ok, windows found the device.
But when i open it the Poco's window is completely white and empty: no files, no folders...there is not the SD card...
I would like to transfer flies from pc to phone by USB connection but it seems impossibile!!
The error message is: "the device has stopped responding or has been disconnected"
P.S.
Debus USB activate, windows 7
Did you change USB connection mode from charging to transfer files? You know, after tapping on notification appearing after USB connection?
Another issue (encountered by me), even with correct connection mode, Pocophone device in Windows 10 (maybe in Windows 7 is the same) remains empty if connected thru an additional USB3 hub. Direct connection to one of USB ports in PC case works flawlessly.

The different thing I have done from this morning is to disable and after enable developer option...now I can see the 2 folders on the PC in the Poco window: SD memory and internal memory!!
Don't know why...but works!!
Thank You so much!! :good:
