It should show up as a notification (when you connect the phone to your computer) or go to Developer options and search for "Select USB Configurations"
if you can't find Developer Options, first go to About phone and tap "Build number" until it appears
check your cable
try a different USB port in your computer
if it seems to be a software error tell us about your OS (distribution, version, etc.)

Hi,
My USB is behaving really wierd.
If I use USB debug my device is not recognized at al by my computer. With USB debug unchecked it's recognized and I can view and delete files but not transfer any new one. Transfer just results in a timeout saying "device disconnected".
This applies to both the internal and external card.
Tired different cables, different computers and operative systems.
Please help, tired of transfer files via keys air all the time :/

Hey,
when u have the Debugging mode activated and want to see it on PC, u have to hit the notification, which appears when u connect it.
Then press connect USB and it should appear on PC
When u don't use this mode it went in an "Kies-mode" which PC directly recognize.
Or when u go to settings>Wireless etc>USB and press here "Use USB as Masstorage" it's the same like when u press activate on notification while debuggin mode.
Hope I helped a bit ...

Well don't mean to be rude but ofc i connect USB storage when I plug it in. When in USB debugging mode, the device is not even accessable but in kies mode, its accessable but I can't transfer any files to it :/

Transfer a small file see if that times out .

I know this is not a solution to your problem, but I recommend transferring files over wifi (NOT KIES AIR) which, to me, is much more simpler and better way.
Here is how:
first install free "SwiFTP FTP Server" application from Market
install it and enter desired username and password. Enable wifi and start application.
On your computer or laptop, install some FTP client (I recommend "Filezilla").
Enter user information you previously configured on your smartphone, connect and voila! You know have access to all of your smartphone's files and folders.
Like I said, for me, this is much better and simpler way of transferring files than using USB cable. Give it a try and see.

I would like to know how you solved this issue as I am currently going through the same thing
With the new ICS firmware (and I don't know if its all ICS) you need to turn off debug in order to use Mass Storage.
Is there any application or other way around this? It gets a little annoying to always have to do this.
Titanium backup needs debugging on for some of my apps and if not using mass storage mode the phone connects via MTP mode which is very slow
I would willingly pay for an app/widget that does the following
Once pressed turns off debug and asks you to plug in USB for mass storage.
Prior to disconnecting the USB cable you select to disconnect which then un-mounts the storage and then turns back on debug
figure should be easy to make for some dev out there
Anyone have an idea on this?
Guess no one out there has an idea
Hmm, for me the only difference running ICS and checking or unchecking dev option/USB debugging is whether or not I can manually unmount the phone in Windows, it always connects as a media device and I have no otion to turn that off.
Mediamonkey takes forever when my phone is connected as MTP (say 15 minutes to build the sync list?), and the only real option to use it to send fresh music to my phone WAS connecting it as mass storage (15 SECONDS for the sync list).
So I would really really appreciate any hints on how to get my S2 to connect as mass storage. It's the official ROM rooted using Chainfires respective kernel.

Or at least an app that selects and deselects the option automatically as I mention above.
Sure a dev somewhere can make lots of money for an app like this

Thanks for the info but I already knew this.Also you didnt need all these steps in gingerbread and previous software versions.
Also for people using USB debug this must be turned off before being able o do all of the above.
Im just saying an app can be made that does all of this with one click
Well, get onboard here, test and say if it works.
I have USB Debugging always on and I am currently running LP7 version of ICS.
When I plug in the the phone I get the Media Device (MTP) coming up on the phone - which is ticked.
In Windows Explorer (Windows XP) just below Control Panel (in the folders window) is a +GT-I9100. Clicking on the + I see a subfolder +Phone The items in this folder are the Internal SD of the phone.
From this I just drag and drop. I haven't noticed any difference in speed between this new way and the old method in Gingerbread.

Try transferring a large file you will see the difference between transfer speeds in MTP mode and mass storage.
Also with MTP you can only do one thing at a time. For example let's say you are transferring files. While doing that you want to erase something else. It will wait for the original transfer to finish prior to starting

But will this work even with debug on?
Yes. As mentioned in the linked post:
- connect cable
- classic "usb connected" notification appears in notification bar with option to do usb mount
- adb available.
Doesn't like my Mac either
When connecting my galaxy s2, I get the attached error.

MTP wont even work properly on my Windows 7 machine. It refuses to update the explorer process as long as the phone is plugged in. So navigating the phone means a lot of plugging and unplugging to get anything out of it.
Changing to UMS means my 2 devices (Internal SD and External SD) are visisble right away, but sadly are not displayed with any storage bars underneath . As a result I can't access them anyway and the second my phone goes to standby it stops the "process".
So any help or hints how to get my damned phone to actually work and show the storage bars underneath is most welcomed.
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 everybody !
I have a problem ; when i conect my pixel to my PC i haven't access to internel storage and sd card. I can only have access to "photo transfer" when i select it on the phone but if i select "file transfer" the phone don't appear on the PC.

have to tried with a different cable? When did this start to happen?
And different ports as well. USB A to C using USB 2.0 port.
Enable USB debugging in the Developer options, that should do it.
Cheers

Thanks a lot for your replies guys. I find the solution.
I have desinstalled the Driver of "android ADB" and replug the Pixel 6 and it works but only with an USB 2.0 port . with and USB 3.0 (blue) it doesn't work...).
I am new in this forum. I have some questions about this forum. These questions are shown below:

If anyone has information about this thread. Please guide me below. I am very confused about that .
Android gives you choices how to use the USB connection, including:
PTP - it's crap, don't use it
MTP - it's crap, don't use it
No data transfer - yes, use it
"No data transfer" does not preclude use of ADB.
Learn ADB, grok it in fullness, hold it closely to you like a lover.
With ADB you can transfer all that you need.
Moreover, there are many utilities that run over ADB that can allow you to synchronize your stamp collection.
One of these utilities is my humble AdbSync.exe which I probably use every day on multiple devices
(It's in the signature.)
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
