Install the USB driver:

Edit:
If your computer doesn't see that something has been plugged in at all, you might want to check your USB cable, and check to see if other devices connect properly using that port and cable.

[Q] USB host?

When you plug a USB thumbdrive to the phone, it first recognises the drive name but doesn't show any options to use it (even in file manager).
Maybe it's due to the connection type (MTP only)...
Any ideas?
Can you access your files in your USB thumbdrive using the file manager?
I'm using Astro Manager to access, and play my video files directly from the USB thumbdrive.
In fact, I just realised I can access if I keep pushing the cable to the phone... Maybe the cable connection isn't that good. I'll buy a new one.
New mission will be to enable wake using volume key which might be more difficult...
Thank you for your answer!
On my tablet , I use USB host ( full usb connection ) , which means I can plug in a pen drive , keyboard , mouse etc...
Can I do this on the Xperia S ???
With a micro usb adaptor I assume ??
Just found a Vid : The answer to my question is yes !

LG USB Drivers

I have second hand LG-LS970 running 4.1.2 and am looking to root it. Before I do I wanted to use a USB program like LGFlashTool to copy the stock roms off and give me a way to back out if I soft brick it. I cannot seem to get the drivers to show up in device manager. What am I doing wrong?

First off have you installed the official drivers from LG's website?

yes, and I hoped that it was going to show as a device under ports in device manager?! Is it just a standard TypeB USB cable?

Sorry for the delay I was out of town the last couple of days. It should indeed be just a standard Type B USB cable, are you using the cable that came with your phone? Also make sure it's a Type B USB cable that is capable of both Power and Data transfer. Some cables are just capable of power transfer and not data transfer since they don't have the d+ and d- wires inside them.

I have another one, not the original one and it works as data transfer and power to PC for other 'droid phones. Should it show up as a device in device manager?

It should show up in device manager if that is cable that you are using. Does the device show up in Windows Explorer as an attached storage device? Also make sure in settings on your phone you have USB Debugging enabled, I have had issues in the past with drivers being installed and devices not showing up. What happens is once USB Debugging is enabled the device will pop up in Windows Explorer and say it's installing the drivers. Just let it install the drivers it thinks it needs and it should work. Let me know if this helps ! If your still having problems still happy to help :good:.

USB drive connection between Android and Windows no longer working in Oreo (v8)

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 .

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

Can't connect S21 Ultra with cable to pc?

OK, I've been using Android phones for years and never had this problem!
When try to connect the phone to the pc I get the connection sound but nothing shows up in windows file manager? I've tried 3 cables (usb c to c and a to c).
I've clicked Transfer files on the s21, nothing.
But if I click transfer images I do get the phone appearing in file manager and I can access just the DMIC folder. So the cables working.
Is there some option deep in the phone that needs to be switched on to allow file transfer????
Thanks. . .
To answer my own question...
Samsung Smart Switch needs to be installed on the PC to provide the right drivers! Never had that before with any Android phone!!
