I do not think this is phone specific, but I am working with an older Pixel 3XL (running stock 11)
I upgraded my home Laptop, an HP Envy to the latest Windows 11 Beta. And after doing so, my phone is no longer recognized 'properly'.
When I plug it in, if I switch the USB settings to PTP, windows will recognize it and show the camera.
But if I switch it to File Transfer, Windows does see anything? I can hear the Windows beep/sound that it switched over, but nothing shows up.
I have attempted to update and reinstall the google usb drivers, but no change. And I also noted that the Windows 11 machine seems to show 'waiting for device' with fastboot commands as well.
Has anyone else has a similar experience?

I've not had any issues like that with Windows 11.
I've connected several different android devices, not the Pixel 3 though.
Open device manager and see how it's listed.

Have you tried installing Google's USB driver?

speed up windows 11 here
As long as USB-Debug isn't activated on phone you can't see it within Windows.
Update the MTP driver
You should check if the phone is correctly identified by your computer. Go to the Control Panel and proceed to Devices and Printers. If you manage to locate the name of your Android device, the MTP connection is working properly. If your device is named MTP or Unspecified, you’ll need to update some drivers.
Right-click on the Start button then click on Device Manager.
Expand Portable devices and see if your device is located there. If it doesn’t contain your device’s real name or it has a yellow exclamation mark, right-click on it and tap on Update Driver.
The Update Driver window will now ask you to either search for the driver automatically or browse your computer manually for it. Choose the latter.
Click on “Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer”.
Click on MTP USB Device to highlight it and then click Next.
The old driver should be replaced with a new one. Wait until the process finishes. Your Android device should now be seen as a multimedia device in File Manager.
Check if the Android phone not showing up on the PC issue still occurs.
Hope This Works,
Peter

Ok hopefully this helps someone. After flashing the amazing AOKP ROM (literally best ROM I've ever flashed...Holy stable batman) I noticed that on Win7 x86 or x64 that USB file transfer to/from SD card worked fine...as did Odin but Windows could not find a driver for my phone anymore. This creeped me out because this meant adb would not be able to connect. Running the adb devices command would not show anything.
I tried 3 different Win 7 machines and a WinXP machine all of them used to work but now they didn't I read the FAQ, I goggle searched xda and droid forums and tried everything, cables, switching USB ports, phone settings, dev settings, new usb drivers but, I could no longer get adb to connect.
So I started looking closely at the Samsung USB drivers I have on my machines which worked fine on stock ROMs, and a few other custom ROMs (not blaming AOKP no disrespect) and I found that the hardware id for my device changed and the device string wasn't referenced in any of the USB drivers files. So I forced the correct driver to install and it worked! So if that is all you need to know cool, if you some of you need the steps here they are:
I'm assuming you already have Samsung USB drivers and adb from the SDK installed (if not there's tons of info on this site to get both)
I'm also assuming you installed the USB drivers so they are in the default location, if you extracted a zip file or something you will need the path to the USB drivers
Last assumption... I tried 3 different versions of Samsung USB drivers and for each one the ssadadb2.inf that has the ADB driver was in the USB Drivers\16_Shrewsbury folder...If you don't find it there do a search in the USB Drivers folder and reference that location for step 13
Click Start button, then right-click Computer, then click Manage
Click Device Manager
Expand Other devices, you should see SCH-I500 with the yellow exclaimation point
Right-click it then click Update Driver Software
Click Browse my computer for driver software
Click Let me pick from a list of drivers
Scroll up, highlight Show All Devices, click Next
Click Have Disk
Click Browse
Browse to C:\Program Files\SAMSUNG\USB Drivers\16_Shrewsbury
Double-click ssadadb2.inf, click Open, Click OK
Highlight SAMSUNG Android Composite ADB Interface, click Next
You will get an "Update Driver Warning" saying cannot verify compatibility with your hardware, click Yes
You should see Windows has successfully updated your driver software, click Close
Back in device manager under ADB Interface you should see the driver name you just added....the entry under Other devices should be gone
Connect your data USB cable (not a charging only cable...if you can't tell the difference just be sure you used this cable for data before)
Open a cmd prompt (start>run>cmd enter if you didn't know)
browse to where you installed adb and type "adb devices"
You should see your device and a serial number again....back in business
Like I said no disrespect to AOKP I rock my B31 (soon to be 32) Pink Unicorn proudly This hopefully applies to anyone who had a hardware id change from any ROM.
Howdy.
I recently updated my YP-G1 from CM10 to CM 11 [4.4.2]. I need to use my device for Android app development (and have used it before way back when it was on stock, but haven't used it in a very long time), but am unable to get ADB/Eclipse to detect that there is a device detected. Using the emulator is not an option at this point, as I need to do some work with a real camera.
I've got the Android USB debugging enabled on the device, and the little notification that debugging is enabled comes up when I plug it in.
Things I've tried:
1) Update Eclipse/ADT (complete uninstall + reinstall)
2) Update Google USB Driver (from SDK manager)
3) Update Samsung Kies
4) Google
The only related forum thread that I've located for this situation is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1776828, which just implies that Windows should be auto-detecting the device. Windows is not doing that.
I have noticed that the YP-G1 drivers do not show up as installed under Device Manager. Perhaps that is the source of the problem? I have not been able to rectify that situation via Kies, so I am unsure. Kies doesn't even detect that the device is connected!
If it matters, I'm running on Windows 8.
Thanks much.
P.S. -- I'd post in the CM11 thread, but since I just registered, I am not allowed to do so, unfortunately.
Edit: I got mine to work finally. I solved my issue by allowing windows to automatically search windows updates for drivers. After I did that it found them and it worked, so try that.
I too am having this issue and it's really bugging me. I've tried everything I can possibly think of but I cannot get the drivers to install. I'm using windows 7 64 bit and it sees the YP-G1 but it doesn't have the drivers so things like kies and adb won't detect it. Any solution would be very helpful.
Strange...that's what the thread I linked to suggested. I've tried that multiple times to no avail. Perhaps Windows 8 doesn't find it, while 7 does for some reason? I've tried doing searches via both Device Manager and Windows Update.
Could you perhaps upload the driver files it found? You should be able to figure out what/where those are by using Device Manager, then right click the YP-G1 and go to Properties, then the driver tab, then driver details. Maybe they'll work on Windows 8 as well as 7. I might try plugging my device into someone else's computer to see if somehow mine is just acting stupid.
Thanks for your reply!
Edit: I've plugged my device into another computer. You're right -- on Windows 7, it can find the drivers just fine. On Windows 8, it can't. Go figure. Now to figure out where to get those files and/or how to get the device recognized..... (??)
Anybody else got problems with connecting to the PC with the USB cable?
What "problems" are you having?
The Windows Explorer does not start, though there is the sound when connecting the USB. Tried uninstalling the driver and letting the system reinstall upon connecting, but still cannot see Nexus 9 in Windows explorer. In Linux get the the notification and clicking on the "open with File Manager" gives a quick error message - too quick to read. So I am wondering if anyone got this problem??

Same here
I updated my SDK files, but that didn't seem to work either. It does show up as a camera when I change from MTP, so I just started sideloading apps, files, and books to the picture folder, then using a file explorer to move them to the correct folder.
+chuckie59 So I am not alone with this problem! Have used AirDroid to copy things over.

Mine was able to be detected at my work computer (windows 2000 in MTP mode), but it shows up as "Android" in Explorer instead of a drive letter like I'm used to with my phone.
Same for me. Only ptp working. Google USB ADB drivers instaled

You'll never get it to show up as a driver letter. Android gave up on mass storage a couple of versions ago.

If you are on W8.1 then you may have the "ACER Composite ADB Interface" - A Microsoft upgrade fault.
A search for "ACER Composite ADB Interface remove error delete" should give plenty of hits. Here's the first post from http://forums.androidcentral.com/google-nexus-7-tablet-2012/362325-nexus-7-not-recognized-computer-2.html :
Would you happen to know if any Acer drivers are installed on your computer? Here recently there was a Windows Update that installed the wrong driver and made it so that I had the exact same problems as you're having. Here's how I fixed it.
Go To> Control Panel>Hardware and Devices>Device Manager. In Device manager look for something along the lines of "ACER Composite ADB Interface", at least in my case I had the wrong ADB interface installed. You'll know if you have the wrong drivers if you go to Devices and Printers and right click your Nexus 7 and go to it's properties. It should be under the hardware tab where it lists it. If it doesn't just say Nexus 7 then follow these instructions. Once you find it in the Device Manager (once again in my case it was the ACER Composite ADB Interface causing the issue) right click and and uninstall it. There should be a dialogue box that pops up right after which will ask you if you want to delete the drivers. Check this box and proceed with the uninstall. After successfully uninstalling the drivers plug in or unlplug and plug back in your Nexus 7. It should show up now with the correct drivers installed.
Thanks, but I am on Windows 7. Driver is ClockworkMod Ver 7.0.0.1 dated 2012-08-27, which Windows reports as up to date (?). Works for PTP but not MTP.
I have had problems with other devices including the nexus 5 and nexus 10 to connect over mtp. Previously i used the nexus root toolkit which has some wizard to guide you to install proper drivers for mtp and adb. The toolkit is yet to support nexus 9 but you can still use the wizard to uninstall the old drivers and reinstall correct ones
Updating sdk. Uninstall and installing again driver did the trick for me
SORTED!! (sort of) Updated sdk and uninstalled and installed the driver again, but it did not do the trick for me. Gave up on Win7.
Instead had a go on XP. Initially everything the same. Noticed two choices of compatible hardware given: "Google Nexus ADB Interface" (the one I had installed already) and "USB Composite Device". Tried the latter one, and yes it did install. In the device manager it turns up as "Portable Device/Nexus 9" (and not as "Android Phone/Google Nexus ADB Interface" as before).
In Windows Explorer it is shown as "Nexus 9/Internal storage" with all the directories, and actually when inserting the USB I do get auto start. By the way, was having the USB debugging disabled. The driver is Microsoft dated 2006-02-22 version 5.2.5326.4762 - which is not what I would have expected. But it works!
Will try to get something similar to work on Windows 7
SORTED! Yes also Win 7 - and it was easy. Uninstalled the driver, plugged in the USB and it installed! Also got the auto start to choose action. It now turns up as "Portable Devices/Nexus 9" in the device manager and as "Nexus 9/Internal storage/etc" in Windows Explorer. The driver is now Microsoft ver 6.1.7600.16385 dated 2006-06-21. Strange. As long as it is working!
MTP suddenly stopped working on my desktop running Windows 10 Pro N and I can't transfer files between my devices through USB. I already install the Media Feature Pack for windows before, I reinstalled it but it didn't solve the problem.
In windows Explorer there is just a grayed out USB-Drive and I can't do anything with it.
In the device manager the MTP device is in the 'Other devices' category with a yellow exclamation mark. I tried deleting the driver and updating the driver by selecting 'MTP device' from the driver list but it didn't help.
I tried it with a Oneplus One and a Nexus 7 (2012) and neither of them worked. Adb works fine and MTP works on my laptop, which also runs Windows 10 Pro N with the Media Feature Pack update.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, I'm new to the N9, have had the tablet about a week. I have tried connecting it to my windows 7 Pc and the N9 isn't recognized. I have tried all the basics, all drivers are current, set tablet to mtp, and not found. I have connected to a friend's Windows 10 PC and the N9 is found immediately. My N9 is a wifi only device, non rooted. I have 2 other Android devices that my W7 PC finds with no issue. Anyone else experience this, and or have any suggestions on how to fix this issue ? Not looking to root at this point. Any help and guidance would be greatly appreciated
I think there are many threads about this problem. Nexus Root Toolkit has a driver installation feature.
If you were starting from scratch I'd delete any unknown "tablet/usb" devices in Device Manager - look for the also delete drivers option.
Google's W7 installation instructions are here http://developer.android.com/tools/extras/oem-usb.html#Win7
On this page http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html is a link to download a zip file of the drivers (not the full SDK package) Click here to download the latest Google USB Driver ZIP file.
This software http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html is possibly better than device manager in deleting drivers
In some cases, you need to enable ADB on your N9 before plugging it into your PC (Settings -> Developer Options -> Android Debugging).

Thank you for your help, I had already tried all of this, but tried once more in case a step was missed. Every other Android device I have, or had never gave me an issue like this. The 2 android phones I have connect to pc without a problem, I am at a loss, lol.
When deleting drivers, should I have deleted all drivers for all devices, or just the ones installed from N9 ? Thanks again for your help

I've not got access to a Windows 7 PC. Does this page help http://www.topnotchtablets.com/FixUSBproblems
A basic one. I don't think it's relevant until you have a connection. Do you know that the N9 USB connection defaults to "charging only" and you need to pull down the notification menu to enable MTP to see the device contents
In USBDeview
Expand the window there are a lot more columns
There is a "connected" y/n column. I'm not certain that this works as expected, I can connect a tablet and despite an F5 refresh or a restart of the program it will stay a "No"
Look at the VendorId column AFAIK everything Google Nexus related has an ID of "18D1"
Have tried to establish what, if anything pops up in Device Manager when you plug in the N9 so you can disable it? Nirsoft have a program http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/device_manager_view.html that gives a table view of all devices - no clicking to expand trees

Thank you for your help I greatly appreciated it. After trying pretty much everything, I decided to see if the ruu's for my two phones would run on W10. They did, so I then proceeded to update my W7 to W10. N9 communicates perfectly now with my PC. Thank you
