When I attach my Redmi 9 Pro to my PC (Linux) with the USB-C cable it does not appear in my media folder on the PC. Usually (Nokia, Google phones) I got a message asking if I wanted to connect, but here nothing. How to connect as an external device?

I bought the Tronsmart Data Cables USB-C to USB-A knowing the cable that came with the box was only a charging cable. But still my computer won't recognize my Mi 5 64Gb. Any thoughts on this? Thanks in advance.
P.S. I have also installed the MI PC Suite. Still failing.

MiSuite is useless for now, as this thing doesn't support Android 6.
Just connect the phone with a cable to the Computer. I use the Xiaomi Mi4c cable, the original mi 5 is still in the box but both work to transfer data!
All you have to do is:
-Connect the phone to the pc with Usb C to A
-Change the connection mode from "Use USB for Charging only" to "Use USB for Transfer files (MTP)"
Uh and could you please explain the difference between a USB C to USB A charging cable and a USB C to USB A data-transfer cable? The more details you add the better. I am specially curious about the wires inside of the cable, like the difference between a charging and data cable, by the means of wire connection. (I have never heard of such a thing.)
I have tried doing that but it seems Windows is not installing the drivers for Mi 5 thus getting a "device could not be recognized.
Working great now. Had to change USB ports and used the ones at the rear of my desktop. Thanks!

mine has the same problem with you..
when connected Mi 5 to PC, Mi 5 is not displaying "Charging Only" or "MTP" Option. My PC (Win 7) says "Device is not Recognized".
I've tried uninstalling Mi PC Suite and another ADB program, and changing usb port, the problem is stills..
How do you fix it?
I had the same problem. But changing to a different USB-port on my computer solved it. Check if you have any native USB3 ports on your mobo.
I had the same issue on my Win8 computer (usb2 plugs only) . But it connected perfect on my wife's win7 computer (usb3 plugs)
I finished getting it connected by validating USB debug and waiting very long for driver installation.
USB3 versus USB2 , why not.
Its Not USB2 vs USB3 as I am getting it connected on my Laptop with only USB2 ports but Can't connect on my PC with USB2/USB3 ports while my S7 connects perfectly. I dunno why this is happening and still seeking solution. PTP mode and USB tethering mode works fine though. Just MTP mode connection gets the Yellow triangle and device listing under other devices in my windows device manager.
Install the software driver of the pc and connect as mtp
Dont work anything
I change it to MTP but it comes back by itself to charging mode wtf
Go to device manager after connecting usb to phone
In portable devices, you will find your device along with a caution sign
Double click on your device
Go to driver tab
Then click on update driver
Then click on "Browse my computer..."
Then click on "Let me pick..."
Select MTP USB Device
Install this driver and then your phone will be detected by your computer
(1) Go to C:\Windows\INF
(2) Type "wpdmtp.inf" in search bar provided to the right of the address bar in Windows 10.
(3) Once you found it, just right click on it and select install. It will take a very few seconds.
(4) Connect your device to the pc.

I'm guessing here, but do you mean a usb device? not usb drivers? Drivers you would install on your computer, a usb device u would plug into the other end of an OTG cable, right?
If you're talking about a usb device, like a usb stick, before connecting the usb stick with the otg cable, go to the development options and page down about 2/3 of the way and you can select what 'type' of usb connection to make... one is charging only, etc etc.
the one to select is MTP (media transfer protocol), then the usb stick should work.
Yes it's USB device, when I am trying to connect it via otg cable in my mobile it's doesn't open in my mia2

If the file system on the usb is ntfs then it won't work
In any case, if it still doesn't work, you can use this app

So it wasn't working on the pie beta but I didn't bother writing it here because I thought it was a beta so meh. Now since it's stable now, I am still unable to connect my Flash Drive to my phone. When I connect my usb to it, it does recognize the USB but then that's it. Like when I connect my usb, it doesn't show the usb in the "Files" or even in my 3rd Party files explorer. When I drag down the notification panel, it actually shows that a device has been connected and when I tap on that I'm redirected to a menu where there are 2 options. so is anyone else facing the same issue on Mi a2 or is it just me? Or am I doing something wrong?

I have the same issue. Tried with Mi A3 (Android 10) and it works normally. Plug into Mi A2 (Android 10) and it shows that device connected. Android System notification says -> Charging connected device via USB, tapping it shows USB Preferences. USB Preferences show that Usb Controlled By -> Connected Device and doesn't allow to change the option.

both of you should use stock pie stable miui and it will work.
for extra certainty try mixplorer and give it root with magisk and select the custom.otg driver option
in many cases the otg adapter you are trying to use might be crap ..
in many cases the charging port wasn't working and repair soldered on an unofficial part now it can only charge and otg or usb cable data to pc can't work
options:
1. connect usb to usb port on your router and use samba plugin from mixplorer to access it over the network ...
2. connect usb to your mia3 and send the file with midrop to.your mia2
my pc and smartswitch suddenly cannot detect my Note 8... it is charging when connected via USB but windows 10 and smartswitch cannot "see" it.
anyone have a solution? highly appreciate it
Have you tried connecting your device to another PC? Or try connecting a USB OTG drive to it?
The USB cable I got with Redmi Note 10 Pro is supporting only Charging only (no data transfer). I replaced the unit but same case. Does anybody else also have the same issue?
P.S. I tried another cable came with Redmi note 9 pro and it is working fine. So, It is like Xiaomi is is providing only charging cable with Redmi note 10 pro (Weird)?

I tried to connect my note 10 pro to my pc and i can transfer files but the MiPcSuite doesn't recognise the phone. "Connect your device via USB". Tried file transfer, media and even usb debugging mode. Could it be the cable?

Hi
Just plugged my Android 12 Samsung S21U into my Windows 11 PC but nothing showed on the PC. I woke the phone and tapped on the "charging" notification but nothing happened.
Went to developer settings and set the Default USB Config (which was off) to "Transfer Files"
Set USB debugging to be on too.
Still no avail.
Any help?
Is dex working? Or maybe a driver issue?
I've just installed Dex.
Samsung said I should make sure the phone is in the correct MTP when using the dialpad to type in *#0808# - which it is.
Tried installing the drivers from the Samsung website (although the UK version of the site doesn't offer any drivers) - not working.
I can connect the phone using the "link to Windows" but this won't let me connect normally.
Both Windows and the phone are fully up to date with all the latest.
Just restarted the phone and can connect to Dex, although I think it's doing it wirelessly rather than through the cable.
Yes, have tried another PC (another W11 PC).
Yes, have tried another cable (both high speed purple and low speed).
Yes, have tried another phone on both PCs and that shows fine.
What worries me a little is that Device Manager doesn't show anything connected to the PC when I connect the phone.
Turns out you need the official Samsung cable, which is USB-C to USB-C only.
My PC doesn't have a USB-C connector so looks like I'm gonna have to purchase one.
Shame they've gone the Apple route - my old Huawei P30 Pro will connect for data transfer using any old cable, of which we have loads around these days.

Pretty sure this is false. My S21U gets recognized on my PC with a normal USB A to USB C cable.
Agreed. That is just not true, I've used a USB A to C worked fine
Hmm, maybe my three cables I tried are too old?
They're from Amazon and don't particularly state they work with Samsung phones.
The plot thickens.
