Since I updated my phone to RR-N-v5.8.3 I am now unable to transfer files to and from a PC. When I connect the USB cable to the PC and choose USB file transfer on my phone nothing happens. It works with the PTP option but the Transfer files option isn't working. Can someone please help out?
USB File transfer was always broken on CM and now LOS. There's an easy workaround though
1. Connect the phone to pc via usb cable
2. Choose "tranfer photos(PTP)"
3. Now change it to "transfer files"
Cheers mate! Been banging my head against the wall about this
Also works if you turn on debugging. For some reason that's the only way mine gets detected.

It seems that when I connect the phoen to the computer to transfer files, it'll recognize the phone as a device and in "My Computer" it'll show up as one, instead of a USB flash drive.
It's annoying because everytime I wan to transfer files over it'll ask to confirm. I can't see the transfer speed as well in this mode.
Enable USB debugging. Then it will ask to to enable mass storage after you plug it in.
Or go to Settings/ Wireless & Networks/ USB Utilities press the activate button BEFORE you plug in your USB cord. Once you activate the phone will tell you to plug it in.
Word of caution: Make sure you " safely remove the device" on your PC before you unplug. I borked an SD card not doing that.

For USB Storage mode:
1. Disconnect
2. Settings->Wireless and network->USB utilities
3. Click button: Connect storage to PC
4. Plug in USB Cable
I hope it helps.

Do you mean adb connection or usb mass storage one?
I don't know whether you've checked this yet, but try this:
if you mean the adb, on the home screen, press: menu>setting>applications>development>check on usb debugging
if it is usb storage, refer to what mayerkemp said
or if you can see usb logo on notification bar, slide it down and tap connect storage to pc
Thanks guys,
Problem is that when I click on connect storage it either says "connect the cable to use mass storage" or if the cable is connected it says "USB is connected. Remove the cable."
Any thoughts?
Hi guy's, so I've reinstalled a backed up rom and it's fine now.
Just always check development mode on application setting, then u can change to usb storage with tap usb connected from expanded status bar, that's what I do on DXLM3
Sorry for my bad english
hey guys
when i connect my note 2 to the com via usb cable the com does not recognize my device and failes to install it.
i tried to install kies but no success with that to.
what can i do? plz help me
It sounds like your usb port is broken to me...
Have you tried some other port? Have you tried connecting some other "mass storage" device? Not mouse or keybord. Mass storage
yes man sure i tried! the usb port is fine and work with everything.
my computer indicates that i connected the device but cannot install it and thats why i cannot transfer files etc
With ICS and upper, Google remove UMS and use MTP instead for connection to PC On Windows Seven, it's works quite well, on XP, you must install Media Player 11 or MTP installation failed. I don't know how it's works under Linux.
Hey Guys
Being in IT I always tell people it's a bad Idea unplugging a USB device while you are transferring data to or from it. Should have followed my own advise. I was uploading to my G3 while plugged into my PC when the phone wrung. So Mr Smart guy unplugged it to answer it. After that it was just a no show. It connects and show up in my folder manager, but when I click the device, there are no directories or files. I know if you do that with a USB drive, you need to format it to get it working again.
I'm hoping for an easier solution on how to possibly reset the USB on the phone.
PS. After restarting the phone and PC - still no show - Doesn't work on any USB ports on my PC (USB 2 or 3). PC USB port working as I can plug other devices into it and it connects.
Hello,
I've a Mi Mix 2 for 2 years. I never had any worries.
I always plugged my phone into my computer for either file transfers or for USB connection sharing.
Since Monday, more possible. I plug in my phone, and it starts charging directly, and the notification to choose file transfer, photo, or charge only no longer appears. The computer doesn't detect it anymore as my Mi Mix 2, but an unknown device with a problem.
I have already uninstalled / updated drivers, MTP too.
I also tried on another pc, and with other cables, the problem remains the same. I'm starting to lose patience.
I specify, developer mode is enabled, with USB debugging and default file transfer mode.
Has anyone ever encountered this problem? And if so, how to solve it if possible?
Thanks a lot !
Probably you have to change/repair usb c port in your phone
Or have you activate USB Debugging?
