I'm trying to recover some deleted photos from my sm-g900a, and there are a few programs I want to try, but in order to use them, I have to accept a "usb debugging" prompt on the phone. This is an issue because my digitizer is broken, so I can't interact with my phone by touching it. The screen itself works, however, so I bought an otg cable and have been using a mouse. The problem is that I can't accept the debugging request because I have to unplug the phone from the computer to plug in the otg mouse.
EDIT: Figured it out! For any future people who are having a similar problem, I downloaded "Alpha VNC" on my phone and used that to control it from my computer. That way I could plug the phone into the computer, then use a vnc viewing program on my computer to accept the request

When I plug in a usb stick through the cable, I can not see or make the connection. You will need some setting or app? Even with usb debugging on. Any suggestions.
try going into the phone settings and then click on storage and press the button on the bottom right of your phone and click the words usb connection(or something similar) and if that takes you to another menu then click mass storage device

can't connect phone on PC
Hi,
I have same problem, recently I installed windows 8 and since than I can't connect my phone via USB cable.
I have installed LG PC Suite and nothing.
Please help.
So you are trying to connect a USB with an OTG cable.. so you can view the files of your USB on the phone?
I read in another thread / article that the kernel does not support that on our phone. For that we need a customer kernel which hopefully will come once we get unlocked bootloader.
That's right. This kernel does not support OTG. I tested the hdmi connection to the TV and that yes, a spectacle.
Whenever I connect my HTC One device to my computer via USB, sometimes my PC recognizes it. At other times, however, the USB connection disconnects. It's as if there is a loose connection between the cable and HTC One device. Is there a way to fix this? Or should I replace the cable?

Might be a cable, or it might be an issue with the USB port itself. Not that the USB port is faulty, mind you, just simply that the phone doesn't "like" it. For instance, if I plug my phone using OEM/non-OEM cables into a blue USB3.0 port in the back of my motherboard, I can't use fastboot/ADB commands. However, if I plug it into a pink USB port(supposed to be used by my keyboard/mouse), then there's no problems.
So I just got my bootloader unlocked today. I went home this evening to plug my phone into my computer and start installing the custom recovery, only to find that both computers in my house won't recognize the phone when it's plugged in. To my dismay, no USB icon showed up in the status bar, and it just said "Charging". No notification in Windows (or the Ubuntu computer either). Either my cable has gone bad and only charges, or the original cable doesn't transfer data. I've also checked to make sure that Media Device (MTP) is checked. Funny thing was I was using the cable from my OG Droid at work today to charge my phone on the work computer. I know the USB Debugging icon had shown up so I know it was working properly, it won't show up on my computers at home.
Can anyone confirm with me that the original cable is USB only?
No, the original cable should do both. Try another cable though, or use port on the pc. Otherwise it's your drivers on the pc.
You have USB debugging checked in developer options? You have drivers installed on your computer? Making sure to use the USB port on the back of the computer, not the front?

Hello every1.
I have a problem here.
When I plug in my USB cable to my S4A and connect it to PC, I get only charging and NO USB CONNECTION.
No USB debugging, no anything but phone charging.
Anyone has an idea what of system files should I look at for that?
I've tried SG Mass Storage enabler (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mohammadag.samsungusbmassstorageenabler) and after that it stop connecting.
What does that app do and change, so what should I revert to stock state??
Please help.
Some Windows setup needs to be repaired to properly identify USB connected hardware. I have a link to fix it in my thread

Hi!
I have a problem with my Lenovo K3 Note.
Can't transfer files from PC using USB cable (it only charges). Computer doesn't recognize and no notification or option to change connection type on Smartphone.
The only way to connect to PC via USB is when i have TWRP recovery open. In this case i can transfer files, etc
Already tried in different computers with different cables and with USB debug on and off.
Any help would be very appreciated
Make sure your device's screen is unlocked.
Connect your device to your computer using a USB cable.
On your device, pull down your notification drawer by swiping down from the top of the screen.
