Good morning all, I desperately need some help.
I dropped my Huawei Mate 10 Pro face-flat on the floor, and on first inspection it didn't seem as if it had any damage to it whatsoever. A little later when I had put it to charge I noticed hairline cracks on the left side of the screen and what seemed to be some kind of leakage from the screen. Overnight it has leaked so much that 90% of the screen is blue (looks like biro ink running), and now the whole screen is covered. Unfortunately I didn't rescue all my apps, documents and images, including those in the Safe, before the screen was completely covered.
My question is simply can I connect my phone to a laptop without having to accept stuff on the screen?
Many thanks
Maybe via HiSuite if you have used it before. Or connect the phone to some external display or TV via type C adapter/dock.

Hisuite on PC now requires you to enter a 5 or 6 digit random code that is generated on your phone. This update of Hisuite occured a few months ago, making it even more difficult to copy data .

Thanks. Unfortunately haven't used HiSuite before. I'll try a USB C to HDMI connection, although I'm wondering if that will bring up the same issue as connecting via HiSuite.
So I got my hands on a USB-C to HDMI cable and I am able to connect my phone to my television, and thankfully the touch screen still works! However when I swipe to get to the password screen, nothing shows up but if I touch around the screen I can go back and forth to the lock screen, just no numbers show up to enter my password.
I haven't backed up and data on the phone so I really don't want to do a hard reset to bypass the lock screen. Any solutions to this? Thanks.

Firstly learn how to use the quote feature of this forum and secondly it doesn't make a difference if you've used Hisuite before or not. It generates a code from the device every time. Cheers.

Code for Hisuite is generated and shown on the phone screen when you connect your phone to the PC Hisuite app , you won't get option if connecting to TV. How were you going to use Hisuite when connecting the phone to the TV?

Have you tried with a keyboard?
I mean, if you get to lockscreen and then enter password/pin using keyboard. You'd need an USB-C male to USB-A female OTG cable, but worth a shot if you have one laying around.

Laptop keyboard will not work as it is internal and your phone won't recognize it. ?
I'll test using otg and a keyboard now and will update with result
Update: mine work fine with keyboard to unlock. I use a logitech with a touch pad, touch pad to swipe it in case screen doesn't work at all. But you can enter pin fine using external keyboard through otg ?
Edit 2: you can use Space to "swipe"

Thank you! Haven't got my hands on a keyboard yet but I will update you once I do. Thanks once again ??
I have tried mine with original Huawei type C dock, you can do everything with that. Charge the phone, connect a keyboard, mouse and external monitor.
Good news - I got my hands on a keyboard and after some fiddling about I have managed to access my phone once again! Thank you all for your suggestions, very much appreciated!

I rooted my Optimus months ago and had no problem connecting it to the PC. But since I unrooted it when I plug it into the PC the only thing it will do is charge. I've enabled USB debugging mode and that has no effect at all.
I'm using the same PC I used to root the phone so I know it has the proper LG USB drivers installed.
What can I do?
did you enable usb mass storage? when u connect ur phone to the computer u should get a notification that tells u to click it if u want to enable it

When I connect my phone I get nothing. Other than seeing my battery indicator change over to the charging icon. I get no prompts, no ding noises, no prompts on my PC or my phone. I've tried connectign it with the USB debugging checked and unchecked and it seems to make no difference.
Before I rooted my phone I was able to connect my phone to the PC and enable USB mass storage mode. I could transfer music and videos no problem. But since unrooting it doesn't seem to work any longer.
Do a factory reset and see how the things work out.

I've been doing a little reading and I read that some people are bricking their phones after performing a factory reset after an unroot job. It's been several months since I unrooted my phone and I don't believe I made a custom recovery. However I'm still a little worried.
Well I did the factory reset but that still doesn't fix my USB problem. Damn it. Not sure what to do now...........
Are you using new usb if not then you must try a new one.
If you are using a new usb try restarting the phone then the pc.
I'm using a USB cord that is known to be good and also using a PC that also has the proper drivers installed. I'm rebooted the phone, PC, and even did a hard rest of the phone. Still not working
Maybe try to reinstall usb drivers, if this give no results, try to connect your phone to friend's PC.

Get ur phone rooted again and change ur settings as default they are before rooting.
first try to connect to PC while u have rooted. if its not work then try to connect it to some other computer or data cable. If doesn't work then unroot and contact LG.

do you want to connect your phone to the computer for developmental purposes or just to navigate through the sd card on your computer? there are apps that can help (like if you want to use adb, theres an app called adbwireless or if you just want to navigate, there are a couple of apps that allow you to wirelessly connect your phone to the computer)

When I connected my tab to the computer using usb cable, it popped up with MTP and the tab shows in the windows explorer.
But after I push the home button and quit the MTP mode, how can I bring MTP mode back without plug in/out the usb case? Is there any shortcut? Thanks.
How can I share files between tab and computer without using the usb cable?
My computer don't have bluetooth and I don't prefer wifi ad hoc p2p connect.
I feel a bit regret to buy the tab as not to have the sd card slot is really inconvenient. I cannot move the pic in the camera to the tab easily.

Get websharing app from market to copy files without using cables. Trial version lets you copy 1 file at a time. Paid version lets you copy multiple files at once.
Also, regretting about anything is just waste, search and you will find answers to all your questions in abundance, that has most and all the solutions.

You mean you are not able to see the tab in the computer after connecting it or the MTP screen is not displayed on the tab?
FYI :
After the latest update MTP screen is shown only when some file operations are going on. Not always when the it is connected to the computer as earlier.

Turn USB Debugging off. I have the Galaxy S 2 on Sprint and it has a terrible habit of turning it on by itself, which disables MTP mode. Not sure where in Honeycomb the setting is, but on my phone it is under settings - applications - development.
Uncheck that and problem solved I bet.

I bought a USB connecyion kit and use a small USB stick. I also use it for backing up data so that when I do a hard reset on my Tab I ca njust plug the USB stick in and restore all data using Titanium Backup.
1. I have been unable to connect it to my PC for a while, I tried downloading and installing the Samsung USB drivers, and connecting with the white USB cable it came with but it always says Device Failed to install properly, and my Device Manager says Unknown Device. I've resorted to using AirDroid to download my pictures and videos which takes a little while and is annoying.
2. Tumblr app: my login does not work, after I type my password and hit login, it says logging in... and it tries and tries and says login failed. I tried setting up a new account using the app but that did not work either. I tried using a non official tumblr app to see if it would work and same problem happened.
3. Goggles App: Does anyone know how to use this?
4. Youtube App: Just about every other time I watch a video using this app, it somehow loses its connection to youtube and a button appears to Retry, and I hit that several times and nothing comes up. I end up closing the app and re loading it, and it works for one or two videos and then the same thing happens. Super frustrating. I am able to use other youtube apps without a problem like Zing Youtube but I am unable to login and see my subscribed favorites.
5. Twitch App: It lost the feature to search, so I found a non official app called Twitch Player that works great except that some streams cause my phone screen to turn off and I have to take out my battery and turn it back on in order to get the phone working again. Quite annoying.
My friend said he just rooted his S4 and said it was easy, and I was thinking about doing it too but I am hesitant since I have never done that before, and this is my first smart phone which I love dearly. Any advice? I want to do it so I can use the app ShareKM which allows you to use your PC mouse and keyboard on your android.
Thanks!

1. USB to PC problem
A: Delete all drivers for the phone from your PC.
B: make sure your phone isnt plugged into the PC and make sure USB Debugging Mode is off
C: replug your phone to your PC and allow the MTP drivers to install, then switch to camera mode (PTP) and let those install then you can go back to USB debugging mode
2. Tumblr app problem
A: make sure you have the correct login info by trying to log in through the PC's browser. If not, just press "I forgot my login info" or whatever and have the password reset email sent to you.
B: make sure app is updated. if it is and youre certain you typed the info properly then the app is buggy.
C: firmly swing a hammer on your phone.
3. google goggles
Its works when you take pictures of logo's or landmarks and google tries to use its knowledge graph to identify it and give you info on it. as you can imagine this is a tough program to get to work well. As such it doesnt.
4.
If youre using a custom stock android rom like cyanogen or AOKP or paranoid or any variation of the three you probably flashed a bad google apps file. If youre not using one of those, make sure youtube is updated from the play store and it very well could be a connection problem with your router.

The questioms have already been answered but something caught my attention, you want to use your keyboard and mouse on your phone. You can already do that, the Note 2 has USB OTG active so you can use just about anything on it, except XBOX controllers, like PS3 controllers, jump drives, external hard drives (they have to be formatted a certain way but they are able to be used), mice, keyboards, etc.
You should still root your phone because it opens an entirely new world for you.

I am typing this on my USB keyboard and it works like a charm I also tried using a USB mouse and it works great, the wheel even works for scrolling up and down. I will try my wireless keyboard and mouse combo later to see if it will work but I am doubting it will work if it needs drivers (It is not the bluetooth kind). I wonder if this thing can handle USB splitters....

I'm specifically using a Macbook Pro i& quad-core with a SSD and running OS X 10.9 Mavericks... I never had these issues with my Verizon OG HTC One 32GB... But since picking up a Verizon HTC One Max 32GB Android File Transfer refuses to work and for the life of me I can't figure out why.. If I just plug it in nothing happens unless I manually launch AFT and then I receive a message that says please connect your android device with a usb cable. If I plug it in and restart the phone it picks it up but then says can not connect to device... It's extremely annoying because I'm working on some ROMs for it and I have to constantly ADB push everything....... Not that big of deal but I'd still like to be able to mount my storage where everything is visible and can add/remove as I please.... Any suggestions would be great, thanks guys!!

Did you look at what the usb phone setting is on. I know there are extra ones like modem or something or other that could prevent transfer.
I am having similar issues, the mtp file transfer mode seems to borked. I can get files from phone but not send em. I've been mounting my external sd as drive then moving the files using root explorer.
Of course.. It always shows that MTP mode is enabled but does nothing when you tap it, and also shows usb is connected on the phone but when taping that it brings up only options for internet passthrough and sharing etc...

Could be the USB 3.0 intermittent issue. Try a powered hub that is USB 2.0 as if your notebook is new enough most likely the USB ports are all 3.0.
Just saying.
Hey. Just want to get some music files on my phone. This HiSuite business sucks.
Can some one help or redirect me. Please.
Best solution: scrap Windows 10
Second-best solution: use WiFi File Explorer (I personally use the paid Pro version)
Third-best solution: use AirDroid
Once you've done a few file transfers using WiFi, you'll wonder why you ever bothered with a cable in the first place.

Can some one help or redirect me. Please.

If you have no use for HiSuite, ditch it, it's more of a pain than it's worth.
Once you've ditched HiSuite, you will be able to drag and drop files to your phone without issue.

How do I just ditch it? When I connect my device to my computer it doesn't actually come up, instead I get this Hi-Suite cd-rom installer.
I've developer mode and USB debugging on.

Try turning off usb debug, and when your phon asks charging or file management, choose file management (or something like that).
Airdroid is a piece of crap now compared to Airmore. I've been using airdroid for few years, but when you have to transfer large files, it always stop before the end. Airmore is way more reliable than airdroid.
To ditch Hisuite, juste uninstall it from your computer, and when you plug your phone you have a notification : click on it and change from "charging only" to "MTP"

I don't have the luxury of wifi. Sounds nice.
MTP is set up but HiSuite autoloader pops up on my PC.
I'm going to just use ADB for file transfers.

Look if you just used My Phone Explorer you don't have to mess around with USB, just do it over WiFi

No wifi like I said.

I just use adb, it's way faster than using Windows Explorer.
The OP probably has solved his/her issue already, but what i did with my Huawei GR5 is uninstall Hi-Suite ( with CC cleaner ) , plug the phone in via usb cable , then ignore what pops up on the laptop or cancel it , goto the phone and scroll down from the top to get the notifications , find the USB option which should be on charge only ( nothing highlighted ) and click on the 'Files' option under the USB icon . Then a represntation of my phones storage pops up and let me modify any files on my phone ie add music or videos . hope this may help some peoples having issues in the future .
