USB Debugging Mode Toggle

Is there a widget out there that can toggle USB Debugging Mode?
I have searched this forum and market and come up with nothing so if you do find a link.. I wont complain about you telling me "uhh search" I will just be happy someone was better at searching it than I was.

In 2.1, debugging mode should already be on your pull down notification for easy access. Otherwise, you could always enable/disable via the settings menu.
I'm not sure theres a toggle app for debugging though.

Oh, yeah... I mean I know how to do it through Settings>Applicatons>Development I was just thinking it would be pretty... convenient to have it as a widget like some have Bluetooth or Silent Mode.

Wont need it now I guess... finally got my Broadcom card to work on my Ubuntu Inspiron 1150 so wireless tether is working and can just use that. Stupid eth0 was up and never new it needed to be down. Now have wireless on this laptop and I couldnt be more ecstatic!
edit: reply doesnt make sense without explination... dont have to download from the windows machine anymore so can just download from the laptop and transfer right from there. USB Debugging would be turned off so I could charge at work without dealing with IT pop-ups about how I am too stupid to have any hardware plugged into my machine.

Yep, but it doesn't help the rest of us
Sure you got a kludge, but the question still holds.
My phone turns off the debug at seemingly random times. (mostly over night)
Also I can't seem to get my phone to serve up the SD card for my desks file manager, when it's in debug mode. When I'm developing I don't care about the contents of the SD card, but I like to treat the phone as a jump drive when I'm at "work"
Yes changing the settings through the memu is an option. But then so is turning on wifi, and bluetooth.
I say the question remains un-answered. I'm cool with that... and I'm even thinking of writing my own widget that does what I'm looking for. “Progress isn't made by early risers. It's made by lazy men trying to find easier ways to do something.”

USB connectivity on a LInux laptop

Just got my Turbo, and I like it very much. What I don't like is that I can't seem to connect it to my Linux laptop. Could use a little help please.
Further, I disabled the autoloading software - because it's Windows software...now I can't find that setting.
Anyone?

BTT.
Still having issues with this. .otherwise, phone is 5X5.

What distro are you using? Can you see your phone in your file manager? Have you installed mtp support...?
Also, try enabling USB debugging. I had some connectivity issues and enabling it seemed to solve them, although I'm not sure if that was just a coincidence.

I am using Linux Mint 13. Didn't have any issues with the HTC phones I've owned. Can't see it in file manager, nothing pops up. Didn't know I needed to install MTP support - considering the other phones worked fine. Hmmm.

I did that, no help. I'll keep digging. Thanks.

13 is old.... really old. Not sure if they even support MTP. I would highly, highly suggest moving to Ubuntu 14.10, at the very least to a CLEAN install of the latest mint. I had nothing but issues with mint so I switched to stock ubuntu (plus I like compiz fusion too much)

Upgraded to 17, works like a champ.
Thanks!

My wife just purchased a Turbo. I can not get the storage to mount on Ubuntu 14.10. This is the only phone that I don't have access to the storage. I do have access to the PMP. I am also receiving an "no permissions" when using adb. I search for adb devices, and no permissions? I have developer options enabled, USB debugging checked. I just tried 2 other phones with adb, all functions?

I can only come up with one thing right now, was the phone unlocked when you plugged it in? Sometimes my turbo gives me grief if it's locked and I connect it. Can't think of much else.
You may want to have a look at this article.

Ekkoria Thanks. Good read.
I changed the fuse.conf, and added my device to the, 69-libmtp.rules.
All working here.
Thanks

Can't enable MTP after disabling it on CM12 ROM...

Title says it all, really.
I flashed CM12 onto my Kindle Fire 7" (5th Gen) and I disabled MTP by clicking 'charge only' for the USB connections.
Now, I can't enable MTP back on so I cannot access any files through the USB on my PC...
Any help? ;-;

Same here. I have no idea why. Also setting search doesn't work.

I've found a fix! Except I'm not sure if this will work for you I just randomly did stuff and it ended up working.
1. Download 'SG USB Mass Storage Enabler' on the App Store (can't post links, and yes, I know it's supposed to be for Samsung devices but... bare with me)
2. Grant root access, and click on 'MTP'.
3. At the top, if connected to a PC, and if you pull your notifications down, you may see 'Connected as a charging device' or something along the lines like that.
4. Tap it, it should be on MTP, except it probably won't be working, try tapping another option and then clicking on the notification again, it should still remain as 'Connected as a charging device.'
5. If so, replug into your PC and a notification should appear somewhere on your screen saying 'Fire - Choose what happens to this device'
6. Click on that, choose it to view files et voila! It should be up and running.

Moto G 2nd Gen XT1063 won't connect to PC after Marshmallow update

Moto G 2nd Gen XT1063 won't connect to my Windows PC after the Marshmallow update. In the past, I would see two folders upon connecting (one of them being the SD card). Now I just see an empty folder, and when I try to copy a file into it, I get the "Cannot copy item - The device has either stopped or has been disconnected" message in Windows.
USB debugging is enabled. I uninstalled/re-installed Motorola Device Manager (2.5.4), but that did not do any good.
Any help will be appreciated.
Note: I f***ing hate this. Whoever rolled this out without properly testing should be fired. I wish I could go back in time to this morning.

OK, here's how I solved this, and hopefully it'll help others:
Developer Options -> Select USB Configuration
In my case, MTP was shown to be already selected (as it should be).
I clicked on the "Charging only" option. This disconnected the device from the PC.
Then I selected MTP AGAIN. That did the trick (there was some driver install message that was displayed in Windows). Then the connection folder showed the familiar "Internal storage" display.
I cannot believe that as users, we have to go through this crap. Shame on Motorola/Lenovo/Google.

Spoke too quickly - it seems the phone loses the MTP setting every time and it has to be set over each time you connect to the PC.

Not exactly the answer to your question, but I was helping a friend who also has a moto g and a similar problem, and after we achieved nothing he just went with Droid Over Wifi as an alternative. Works pretty well imo, more reliable than mtp

Sphynxie, thanks for the link, will try it out.
By the way, I have since learned that this is how it works in Marshmallow:

Appreciate those links, that's some nice insight into Google's continued efforts to make file transfer over usb as awful as possible. IMO MTP isn't worth dealing with. My own phone got updated recently so I also switched to wireless solutions. Unless I happen on a pc without any wi fi access, I won't be using a cable anymore.

MTP Connection Problem on Mi5

Hi Everybody,
I'm trying to connect my Mi5 with my PC using MTP connection (i'm on Ubuntu). The problem is that I can see the device connected and mounted but i can't copy anything from it. It always crashes. Strange thing I can copy files from pc to the device without any problem, but if i try to copy something from the device to my pc it always says " libtmp: Could not get file from device."
I've also tried with windows, but nothing changed. i cannot copy or transfer any type of file.
While googling around i've found that this might be an Android 6.0 related problem rather that a MIUI one.
But i've also tried a possible solution that has been proposed which consists in changing a configuration under developer option and switch it back but it didn't work.
here's the steps i've followed:
Open Settings
Enable Developer options:
Go to About phone (or tablet)
Scroll to the bottom
Tap Build number repeatedly. After several taps you will see it count down and then say "You are now a developer!"
Back to Settings
Tap Developer options, near the bottom
Scroll down to and tap Select USB Configuration
Change it to Charging only
Tap Select USB Configuration again
Change it back to MTP (Media Transfer Protocol)
I don't know how to proceed.
If someone can help me it would be great!

Hi!
Try a factory reset. Maybe it will help. (just a thought)

Nope didn't work at all

How long do you have to tap build number?` nothing happens here :/
Edit.
Found it tapping Miui rather than build version, but cant find the USB configuration after being in developer mode.

@zofox I don't have a solution but can confirm the problem.
On WIndows 10 latest release, it's working like a charm.
When I connect the Mi 5 to a Usb 2 or Usb 3 port on Ubuntu (same computer) it does nothing, only charging works.
So that means: I am not sure if it's a problem with Ubuntu, your PC or both!

I'm using a dell XPS13 2015 and it doesn't work neither on windows or ubuntu
right now i'm using ftp to comunicate but it's pretty annoying also the fact that i can copy stuffs from pc to mi5 but not the opposite it's pretty strange ...

It might be the USB port(s) in question: check if the port used is on some external controller or part of the PCH/southbridge (i.e. part of the motherboard); next up, try direct ports instead of through USB hubs (if any in between). Other than this, I have no further idea.

Seems like it was a cable related problem ?
Changed it and everything works like a charm ?
Mods can close the discussion ?

First go to settings, then click the option 'about phone'.
Then click on 'miui version' several times until u become the developer.
Then go back to settings and find the 'developers option' in the 'additional settings' .
Afterwards look for the 'usb configuration' option in the 'networking' section.
There select the 'mtp' option
This worked very well for me and solved all my problem

change the cable works like a charm, thanks!! you guys save my semester.

This works like a charm to me. Only one thing I have noticed is, in my phone(Mi5) Developer options comes under Additional settings of systems& Device section.

Thanx bro
I was facing the same issue in redmi note 5 pro.

I had same on Redmi 5 (rosy), my 'solution' was to drag drop down down, tap Android System and change from 'Charge this device' to 'Transfer files'. I was expecting a pop up when I connected the cable to select what I wanted to do, none came.
