Hey, so here's the story. I connected the cable to my pc and was transferring files to my pc (from find x3 pro).
While I was doing that I opened the bank app to authenticate my login on PC (so the web version of the bank as you to authenticate via fingerprint on mobile, to login) and it said something "hey, I cannot autheticate you, you need to go to 'charge only' on usb". I said "ok fine, I guess it's security" so I waited for file transfer to happen and then clicked that button. I logged in and all good.
HOWEVER, now if I cannot a usb cable the option to choose what to do (charge only, transfer files etc) does not appear anymore! It just charges only: so I cannot transfer anymore files.
I tried also enabling developer options and usb debug and usb mode "transfer files / mtp" but simply nothing happens.
Any help appreciated, thanks

Hi,
I am completely new to android coming from WinMo.
I have 4 new Nexus S phones in the family. I need to transfer some files to all of the phones. There is no SD card, only 16GB Flash. All of the files I need are on my mac, but I can use PC as well if this is easier.
1. How do I transfer music and video files to the phones from the computer?
2. I have several large .apk files on my mac (Large enough that I cannot e-mail them). I would like to sideload them, but cannot use SD card method. How do I transfer them to the phone for installation?
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Please be as specific as possible, as I never used android before. WinMo used to be easy with Windows on PC.
Thanks a lot
Sincerely,
Mike
You can connect the phone to your computer with a USB cable.
Hello,
The way i would do it is to transfer the files over usb via a micro usb to usb cable connected to your computer, of which should come with the phones. I only know the process for windows but mac should work the same.
Before you connect the phone to the computer you must make sure usb debugging is enabled on the phones you want to connect. This setting is found in your applications menu, in there click on settings then applications then development then check the box 'usb debugging'. It will come up with a warning message read if you want then press ok. While you are there you might as well check the box 'unknown sources' under applications which will allow you to install your large .apk's from your internal memory rather than the android market.
Once this is done you now need to connect the usb cable. If all is good you should see a green little android with a usb cable for a hand. Click on 'turn on usb storage'. This will hopefully send windows to fetch drivers for your phone to install it and any future sd card you intend to buy as a hardrive listed under my computer. IF you have software on the phone that is used to sync media this may take your phone and display it in my computer as a portable device.
Once the file is on your phone you can then send that file over bluetooth to the other phones if you prefer may save a little time if your in a rush. This is between phones. Go back into settings found in your applications menu. This time go to Wireless and Network, go to Bluetooth settings and in this turn on bluetooth (must be done for each phone though when you want to transfer). Now you must pair the phones that will be transferring before sending/recieving files. To do this make sure the THEIR phone is set to be visible and then 'search for devices' on YOUR phone. You can skip that 'search for devices' step simply by clicking on the name of the phone if it shows up saying 'paired but not connected'. You will get a warning if they are connected, and you wont have to pair the two devices again.
Now you can go back to the files you transfered from usb and find it in your file browser, long press on the file and select share, then bluetooth then it will send a notification to the other phone. On the other phone to accept the incoming bluetooth file you must pull down the dropdown menu (slide downwards with your finger from the top edge of the home screen) and accept via the notification.
Goodluck.

1. Use a USB cable.
2. Use this: http://forums.androidcentral.com/an...-central-sideload-wonder-machine-v-1-2-a.html . I recommend using the installer version (for windows) and make sure you have the drivers installed for your device.
I have a stock Evo View running Honeycomb 3.2.1. Interestingly, neither of my computers, both mac and pc, will detect my tablet when I connect it by USB. This worked just a few weeks ago when I moved some files onto the device. The tablet charges through USB, but I do not get the notification option to use as USB storage. Within "settings > connect to pc" I've tried a number of configurations (default configuration type = disk drive, charge only) and I have also tried checking and unchecking "ask me about USB connection type whenever I connect my tablet to a PC." Nothing new happened.
Additionally, on the mac, I have the Android File Transfer app installed. When I open that i get a notification that says "No Android Device Found"
Coincidentally, I recently installed the Dropbox desktop beta for Mac which automatically detects pictures on a camera and uploads them to Dropbox. When I connected my device, Dropbox checked my device for pictures because it recognizes it as a camera. I instantly got a system error message saying that my device was not ejected properly. However, the mac never detected my device as a drive. Following that, I tried to connect to my PC and all it does is charge. My PC also does not detect my tablet as a drive. I'm thinking the new dropbox desktop client may have been the culprit for breaking my usb connection between my tablet and mac.
Has anyone else experience this problem? If not, is there a way to rebuild my usb connection between my tablet, mac, and pc?
well i would try uninstalling dropbox
Also in Settings/Applications/Development/Usb debugging should be checked.
Thanks. Appreciate the advice.
I did uninstall dropbox, on the View and on the Mac. That didn't help.
USB Debugging was checked. I can see my device in fastboot and adb. However, neither Mac nor PC will detect my tablet and allow me to mount as a hard drive.
I did a factory data reset and that worked. Both computers will recognize the View and I am receiving the notification "charge only, hard disk, htc sync, etc." again.
I wanted to break the usb connection again to confirm that it was in fact either dropbox's android beta, desktop beta, or a combination of the two. I am fairly certain that something broke the first time around because the desktop beta was able to scan my device for photos without my permission to mount the View as a hard disk. But now I'm having trouble proving this since I haven't been able to break the connection again.
So here is the deal - earlier I could connect my SGS2 to PC with USB Debbuging turned on, and nothing poped up and I could use storage and sd card on PC and at the same time on the phone, like open it with some file explorer, and install apps when still connected to PC... Sound awesome, because now there is this - When I am in USB debbuging and connected to PC, it cant find storages, so I have to disable debugging, and there pops up this USB Mass Storage when i connect the cable. When it is connected to PC, I cant access files on the phone in that moment.... So what is wrong??
Will be pleased for all suggestions..
Thanks

When you connect to computer, dont do it in Debugging mode. If you change it windows (forcing MTP) dont like that. So it will require you to remove phone and reboot. But try the following also
delete all old drivers and remove them in registry. (if needed check the below link)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1882942
Still not working go to device manger "type it in start"
Go to View
Select Hidden Driver
Go To Non_Plug and Play Drivers
Right Click on Hardware Policy Driver
Go To Driver Tab,
Stop this device
and Disable it
Restart Windows ( unplug phone first, disable network card also)
Disable WiFi or network card, (double tap)
Plug in Phone
Allow windows to load the drivers on your phone.
(don't stop this at all)
Look for phone.
Later you can add updated drivers if you would like. Remember windows keeps all old drivers, even if its jacked up. PnP will still run.
This works on Vista and above. haven't tested it on XP.
IMPORTANT
U must re-enable the change to the device manager after this, or each time you reboot it will reload the drivers.
Hi everyone,
I often transfer files between my Samsung S7 Edge and my Windows PC through USB cable. However, after (making the mistake of) letting it upgrade to Oreo (v8.0), this is no longer possible: connecting the phone via USB to my laptop only shows charging information in the swipe-down top menu, and I no longer get the prompt asking whether I want to allow access to the phone's contents. Consequently, the phone's internal&SD memory no longer shows up under Windows Explorer.
I've been searching for a fix/workaround for hours (thanks Google for this quality time!). Some of the things I've tried that didn't work:
- enable/disable USB debugging mode under developer options
- change "USB configuration" (under Developer Options) to "MTP" and to all other options there
- use a different USB cable and USB port on the laptop
- search for apps on the Play Store that can help with this (didn't find any that actually do the job)
Connecting Android phones to Windows laptops to access their internal memory through USB cable has (bemusingly!) been a problem with this ****ty OS as long as I can remember, so it doesn't surprise me that users are having to spend even more time now to get it to work again.
Any suggestions much appreciated!

Thanks - I tried that, but I still don't see the phone's memory as a USB drive, nor any permission prompt on the phone once I connect it.

Try to reinstall drivers ,uninstall all previously installed use USBDEVIEW tool .
https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html
Before I do that, I should note that, when I tried on a different Win 10 PC, I get the USB drive back no problem, so the problem is Windows/PC-related, it seems?!
Turns out that, when using another USB cable, the phone is once again seen as a USB drive. I didn't think the cable could make a difference! Hope it helps others
HI
I tried to connect my phone to my laptop to transfer files. Since Hisuite seems to be the only way to do it, I installed it. But the software doesn't recognize my phone when I plug it in. I did everything which they prompted me to do including enabling debugging mode, enabling hdb authorizations and choosing the 'transfer files' option. But none of them rectified the problem. Since there is no other way to access my phone through laptop, i cant transfer files.
Please help me. Is there anything else that I should be trying? And is there any way to disable Hisuite so that I can connect my phone directly to pc without using other softwares?
Thanks in advance
Try to delete Cache and Data from HiSuite App, that did the trick on my phone.
Btw. you can also tranfer your files directly over Windows Explorer. Your device should be shown as Huawei P20 lite if you select mass storage in the usb settings.
Hi,
I had the same infuriating problem. (Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium, ASUS G73JW, Huawei P20 Pro). HiSuite working perfectly for five months, then suddenly not working, and phone not recognised by PC. Tried all other solutions, HDB, ADB, USB debugging, etc. Went to HiSuite on PC, > Menu > Settings > "Having connection problems? Click here for more options." Did that. USB driver was then reinstalled. Device now recognised. HiSuite working again. Problem solved!
