Have to change USB connection to MTP every time in order to get Android Auto to run - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers

Currently I'm having to manually change the usb connection to MTP every time I plug into my car to get android auto to run. Is there any way around this or to set it by default to MTP? I've tried doing it through developer options, but it doesn't stick.

Same issue it worked when I turned off ADB debugging but then stopped working seems like another bug will have to wait for them to sort out really annoying for Android Auto users.

Under "Developer Options", there is the "USB configuration" setting. Mine is set to "Charging" but I can change it to "MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) or PTP (Picture Transfer Protocol) or RNDIS (USB Ethernet) or Audio source or MIDI. Are either of these options what you need?
Sorry, if I'm missing something with the problem you're facing, but I thought I'd throw out what I see. Disregard this post of it's something else you need. Good luck!

I'm having the same issue. And as the OP stated, we are changing it in developer options, but once you back out and go back to check it, it's back to charging mode. Been a nuisance as it disconnects from AA when it switches to charging mode.

It's super annoying. Hopefully a fix will be out soon, but doubtful

Now on Froyo 2.2 and usb options have gone...

Updated to froyo a little earlier. Went to try and set usb to mass storage in settings/about phone and there are no usb options there.
Anyone else got this problem? Or have I missed something?
No pulldown option to mount the usb either.
They are now in the wireless settings, for some reason.
Look under wireless and network --> Usb
Great, thanks guys

problem with usb connection?

Hi
My problem is that when I connect my sm-n900v to my laptop no usb icon showing up in notification bar device only charge.
I removed the driver and install it again not working.
I disable usb debugging not working and enable it not working
anyone know how to fix this problem?
I'm having the same problem. This started only after lollipop update. Device charges, but laptop does not "see" usb connection. Nothing in system tray. Nothing in device manager. Current version Kies just installed, but doesn't see phone when connected. Restarted both laptop and device disconnected and connected.
SM-N900V Android 5.0
Windows 7
Don't have a clue how to fix this. Any ideas? Thanks!
Thought I'd post my update. While my original USB 3 data/charging cord seems to charge flawlessly & quickly when plugged into the correct 12v OE wall charging adaptors, there is apparently a problem with data transfer. I think the cord I'd OK, but its loose when inserted into the port on the device. If I hold it JUST so, it works fine. I suggest patient cord manipulation to determine if this might be the problem for others as well. Might be hardware repair time.

Hi
I found this solution and it's work now
With the device plugged in:
Dial ##366633#(##DMMODE#)
Disable DM Mode
Disable USB Debugging Mode (Menu> Settings> Developer Options)
If you don't see Developer Options, Enable them by going to Menu> Settings> About Device and Tap "Build Number" 7 times. This will enable Developer Options.
Allow Drivers to load completely. This can take up to 5 minutes.
Device should now appear in device manager as Samsung Mobile USB CDC Composite Device
Now..With the phone still plugged in, turn off and turn on (Restart the device )
Again allow the drivers to load.
you will see the usb icon showing up in your device..

i knew i wasnt crazy and i had a usb menu show up on connect...btw a temp fix to not showing up, download more shortcuts, open app click activities -> click settings -> USB computer connection(Settings$UsbSettingsActivity) and select MTP or USB 3.0. You will have to do this everytime you unplug,(or set a shortcut on homescreen to open setting panel)

Display is Dead. Touch Screen works. Need help enabling USB debugging or Mirroring.

My display just went blank all of the sudden. No image. The backlight works, the touchscreen works, everything works, except the display. I've done some research and I'm pretty sure this is a hardware problem.
I plugged into my PC and pulled the images off, but I really need a backup of the text messages on the phone.
I tried a "remote control" app http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2786395, but it won't work because ADB can't find my device.
My phone is not rooted. I'm certain the ADB utility and phone drivers are installed, but USB debugging won't enable when I connect my phone to my PC. I'm certain USB debugging is enables, but it won't activate. I believe it's because it's connected as "media device" and it should be connected as an "internet device". Problem is, I can't see what I'm doing to enable it.
Can someone walk me through the steps to pulldown the menu, select "connected as" and choose the correct option? (Screenshots of each step or X,Y coordinates in inches or millimeters).
Alternatively, I can mirror the display if I can enable screen sharing, but that might be more tricky.

Android Auto

I'm having an issue getting Android Auto to launch in my Subaru Crosstrek 2018 model. It works when I use my Nexus 6p but not with the Essential phone. I've tried different cables and reinstalling Android Auto but no luck. Anybody else having issues with Android Auto in their car with the Essential phone?
I had major problems getting Android Auto to work with my Essential phone.
At first, I kept getting the red screen of death (something about "do this when the car is stopped and the brake is on"...of course the car was stopped and the brake was on...). The next day (after a phone update), I tried again and could get past that screen. But then it wouldn't connect.
Turns out you have to scroll down the notifications and change the connect mode from USB charge to MTP manually. Once you do that, it quickly connects. Why the phone can't automatically do that for you...I don't know. But I've done this repeatedly now and each time it connects once you change to MTP mode.
(I also have USB debugging on--don't know if that's important as well).

Android Auto doesn't kick-in on my '20 Subaru Outback (works on my wife's '19 Nissan Rogue).
Can you specify how to get to this setting. I'm unable to find it...
Thanks

For the current connection, expand the "usb charging" notification, and it will give you a prompt to the available options - just select what you need. To change the default USB connection behaviour, go to Settings - System - Developer options - Default USB configuration, and select an appropriate connection mode.

Funny there is no USB charging notification on the top, but in Default USB configuration should it be on File Transfer? Thanks!
I've never had a problem with android auto on mine, though I think I probably did change the default connection mode to file transfer a long time ago (before I had a vehicle with android auto).
You can also try a USB hub. These resolved the problem:
AmazonBasics 4 Port USB to USB 3.0 Hub with 5V/2.5A power adapter
ASIN B00DQFGH80
TP-Link | 4 - Port USB 3.0 Hub | Slim & Foldable Cord Design | Compact Travel Size with Charging Ports | Universal Compatibility - USB Flash Drive, Notebook, MacBook, PC, Chromebook and More (UH400)
ASIN B012B6YQY6

File Transfer from Laptop to XiaoMi A1

I am wanting to transfer music and photographs from my laptop to my XiaoMi A1. I cannot follow the youtube explanation at all.
I get to the "Index of" and the list of what is on the phone but there appears to be a leap between that and the next page.
Is there a simple way to connect the phone and laptop? I am using Windows 7.
Appreciate any assistance the group may be able to provide this technical incompetent
With Win7-10, when you plug in the usb cable, there should be a notification. Just open the pull down menu, tap the notification and select the "Transfer files" option and then you're all set to transfer files. The default setting in the USB notification is charging (and changing this in the developer settings doesn't seem to do anything). If you're attaching the cable for the first time on the phone, windows will automatically download a driver.

Hi, thank you for the response. Much appreciated.
There was no notification when I plugged in the usb cable
Unfortunately the driver did not download - it tried - so am now wondering as to how to go about doing that. Is there a specific driver?
Yes, I tried the developer options on the USB debug in the developer setting and no, not much happened.
Ideas?

The usb port on the pc could be faulty. One port on my pc is like that and works only as a charge only port, data transfer pins do not work. Try a different port or another pc.
