Hi everyone,
Loving my 3T, which is stock 4.16, rooted with Magisk, and has TWRP recovery. ADB debugging is enabled in settings.
One thing I noticed that I want to change is that when I plug it into my PC, the USB defaults to "Charge Only" and I have to go into the USB connection settings and switch it to MTP mode. I haven't noticed a way to set MTP mode to be the default behavior. When I plug into the PC it is always to transfer files so I want to set this as the default.
My previous phones remembered the last behavior chosen, I think.
What's the process to choose default USB behavior for the 3T?
Thanks

I think I found it. In developer options, Select USB configuration. I will test when I get home but I was able to change it from charge to MTP.

Doesn't work if you have lockscreen with password, it'll fall back to charge only to protect data theft

Tonight I will try it out. I figured I would need to unlock the phone (via fingerprint in my case) but would prefer not to have to poke around in settings each time. I think it is sorted with the change in Dev options. Soon I will know for sure.

For me it seems to work. I'm at work and my work computer is blocked for lots of things, so if it had failed it could be a false negative (hence my plan to try this at home). But, I plugged in my phone to the work computer, and it popped up the directory no problem, as long as the phone was unlocked.
This was a big change from before where I had to first unlock, then get to the menu and change from charge only to file transfer mode.
I will also test at home and see if it works normally there too, but it seems changing this developer setting works at least for me.

Interesting. I tested this repeatedly on my work laptop, and it worked fine (Windows 7), defaulting to MTP as long as the screen is unlocked.
Here at my home computer (also windows 7), it reverts to charging unless I use the pulldown menu to set it to MTP.
The only difference I can think of is the "driver installation" on the laptop failed. But, connectivity was fine.

Maybe this is because of different (newer) Android? Mine on Marshmallow doesn't remember the setting, regardless if the device is unlocked, hmm

I followed the directions here:
google *com/support/android/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=182134
but could not get the drivers to properly install. Has anyone else tried and was able to get it to work? Anyone have any suggestions on how to get the drivers working?
For me the drivers are giving me cannot finish installing error.
Edit: I'm using Windows XP by the way. So any other XP people having trouble?
Mine worked fine just slow as hell.

All you do is plug in via USB, go to settings > wireless... > Tethering... >Check USB Tethering... That's it that's all.
And mines is hittin' at 4+ Mbps...not slow at all.

Did you get add new hardware option? When I try to install new hardware it says device cannot start (code 10).
Works fine here (Windows 7). I just got 5.03 MB's which is insane

No, no new option. I just plugged it up. One thing tho, I have updated my SDK when the 2.2 SDK came out, but I wasn't asked to update my USB driver, so that's probably irrelevant. It worked just like before the update.

<<---Tethering...
Does anyone know any hacks to get it working on Mac OS X?
USB tethering and wifi hotspot both working flawlessly with a netbook using Windows XP home here.
Maybe the OP error was trying to install the tethering driver for the mass storage device, or the adb device that pops up when connecting the Nexus One if you have "USB debugging" on. I suggest connecting the phone to usb, ignoring any popups that appear asking for drivers (if any) and then active USB tethering on the phone, a new device asking for a driver should pop up. The driver goes there.
Hotspot and Tethering worked fine for me testing with a Windows 7 netbook.
Mine working perfectly with windows 7

I've been wondering (and asking) the same thing. I wouldn't put it past them.
Could somebody please remind me what it is I have to do to enable drag-and-drop N6 to PC connection over USB? I've got USB debugging switched on under Developer Options, but I know there's another tick or setting somewhere that I need to do first, and can't remember what it is! At the moment my N6 is recognised by the PC, but is shown as being completely empty. Many thanks.
Hi, just drop down the notification bar and select mtp.

YES! That's the one. I'm very grateful, many thanks.
Seems a bug in Marshmallow - I used to have MTP selected and it was always enabled automatically when connecting to a PC. Now, each time I connect to the PC via USB the phone defaults back to Charging Only.
This was a minor hassle from earlier Droid Incredible days that I did not expect to revisit.

It's more like a last minute security patch, because this way you will have to unlock your phone before having access to your files.

I already had to do that when the USB selection was being saved between connections to the PC, actually - if my phone was locked when connecting, I had to unlock for the USB connection to fully enable. But, it always did so with my previously set mode (i.e., MTP).
So, I see no reason for this latest behavior, which is just a dumb hassle and/or a bug, IMHO.

As I remember, in Lollipop you connected the cable, and the files became available on your computer. Unlock wasn't necessary.

If my phone was locked for a certain period of time, I had to unlock for file - level access via USB when just connecting
Similar issue if the phone was connected via USB for awhile and had become locked for some (unknown) period of time before I went to access its files since the prior access.

I have a problem of not being able to switch from charging to mtp on USB, no mater what I do. Running 6.0.
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.
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.
I am using Red Magic 3 (12GB version) with latest Global released rom, I own a Ford Ecosport 2019 model and Ford Sync does not detect my device to start Android Auto setup.
I have tried different cables, ports but there seems some issue with the phone itself as I am able to initiate it on other devices.
Has anyone encountered same? Is there a fix?
Will really appreciate any help. Thanks.

Go to developers options. Default USB configuration and set it to file transfer.

Sorry for late reply. My phone was gone for a month.
Enabling default to File transfer makes it visible on as a device on my car system. But does not start Android auto setup.
Some times it won't launch on my phone till I hot the Android auto icon on my car. It's a 2018 Camaro ZL1 1LE. If I press the icon it just connects. Looks like it's more the Android auto app then the phone. You can try deleting the Android auto and all the settings redownload and set it up.
I have the same issue. Nubia's support has no response. My wife's android device simply connects, as do all of my other older android phones.
Does anyone have a solution for this? I highly doubt support will get back to me.

This was one of the first things I tried. In fact I tried running through all of the USB connection types. No go. I also contacted Nubia support. This did not end up anywhere fruitful.
Does Android Auto work for you?
Same issue with my 5S or my old 5g. Sync 3 doesn't detects android auto, but only on Ford, on Seat or Audi works nice.
