USB Tethering problem. - Xiaomi Redmi 5A Questions & Answers

Hello. I installed crDroid ROM latest with Android 9.0. I am not able to turn on USB Tethering. It doesnt turn on when I tap on it . I can not even select it from the USB configuration menu. I already tried setting default as USB Tethering in Developer Options but its still not working. Anyone know how to fix the problem? Others say they dont have this problem only me. does anyone know any alternate ways to start USB Tethering using APP or CMD or anything? Or is there any Fix file which I can flash to fix this issue?? please help me, I dont have WIFI in my PC and have to use Tethering for Internet.

Bump

No matter what I do in Developer options,
Redmi 8 is always connecting in File Transfer mode.
The phone itself very inconvenient, everything is very glitchy - can't disable battery alert messages, everything distracting from work. When you launch 2 applications in screen split mode - youtube video plays music and screen goes dark (black video instead of playing video).
There are Redmi 5 next to me - it works perfectly and never has such problems. But on redmi 8 - is very stupid MIUI - no matter how hard I try to setup Default USB action in USB developer mode - which is already too far to go for a setting - USB TETHERING IS NOT TURNING ON WHEN I PLUG THE CABLE! I always have to go to menu to enable USB tethering. But at least it works.
So much errors in MIUI you should fire all the developers who did this operating system.

Connecting to PC in any mode, screen not working

Hello,
My wife managed to drown her phone and now GPU is fried. I know phone boots, it makes sounds and so on, even there's part of screen displayed from time to time (touch option still works, but not much of help when you don't know what you're touching). Is there ANY way to connect phone like this to the computer in any mode? Most preferably - to backup files and contacts or at least files, less preferably - to flash into something I can connect to via telnet (so it would end up something close to raspberry pi, I have some plans for that too). Last thing - USB settings is on Charge Only, I'm pretty sure development options is activated (I used to do some debugging on it), but USB debugging resets every reconnect (or reboot) on the system version she has if I recall correctly. Thanks in advance for any advices.

How to get Note 7 showing in Windows Explorer via USB to transfer files?

I have a SM-N930W8 (Canada) and when I plug into my PC nothing happens, the phone charges but no device on the PC (using Windows 7 x64). I have had Samsung USB drivers installed for ages (both S3 and S5 work fine). Appreciate any help!
With USB-C you have to tap the notification after plugging in and then a menu will pop up giving you the option to charge, charge another device with your phone, transfer files, etc. Select the obvious choice and you should be on your way.
I had to enable developer options then it started to work, it didn't out of the box when plugged in. Thanks though.
My phone came today. It never occured to me you wouldn't get a notification ala Nexus 6P that allowed you to choose the USB mode. My phone also didn't connect and didn't throw a notification so I had to search USB in the settings and change the mode to file. After several reboots it now throws up a toast asking if I want file transfer without me having ever done anything to precipitate such a menu showing. That is stil a fail because it doesn't offer all the options USB-C is capable of and you have to go to go into settings to get that. Large blunder if you ask me, there is no reason not to throw up a notification and allow you to change it without having to menu dive.
I never had an issue getting the menu to appear on my Canadian Note 7.
Also, USB Type-C has absolutely nothing to do with this.

Yeah it's odd I have the N930W8 as well and got nothing plugging it in off the bat, oh well if anything it reminded me of developer options where I set the transition animations to 0.5, a little thing I always did
what did I do wrong. i have not had any issues with my phone connecting to my windows 10 desktop until today. now when i connect to my desktop the phone simply charges. I get no notification and i cant find any settings related to mounting device. just stopped working. only thing I can think of is i installed Nova Launcher. got it fixed

How do I stop my VS985 from asking for permission to enable MTP every single time?

Isn't it supposed to remember what I choose?? It remembers that I've allowed the PC USB debugging permissions, but not normal USB connection. Every time I plug it in it runs as this Verizon Installer ****. I have to go onto my phone and either pull down my notification shade > click USB options > click MTP or sometimes a box will pop up and ask me to hit 'Allow.' Both of which are pretty difficult with a broken screen that only turns on 1 out of every 100 times.
Is this normal behavior?? Is there anything I can possibly do to fix this insanity? I've already tried the MTP Enabler app and of course it doesn't work and it drives me nuts.
I believe that is by design, to remind the user to pick which option he wants the USB to use. I don't see this as a hardship, but hey that is just me...

Question Android auto issues

Hi everyone, having weird issues with op9pro and new Mazda CX5 infotainment. I could get it connected a couple of times but it starts to disconnect everytime I use it.
I tried opo6 with a custom rom based on Android 10 and it works perfectly.
In my previous Mazda 6 the op9pro use to work without any issue.... I read around there are issues with AA and android 11 in general, with different cars, I tried various workarounds but it seems impossible to have a stable connection here... Am I the only one around? Some suggestions would be appreciated
I'm also having problems with AA on my car. Here is my work-around:
Standard power charging going on and off. Can't use Android Auto [work-around]

Changing cables did not solve the AA problem for me. Except the oneplus 3t cable, I've only tried with anker ones. Maybe I should have tried other brands.
Interesting thing, the Anker USB-C to USB-A USB2 cable has solved the problem with my older power-bank.
hi to all, changed cable, tried PTP workaround, it could work once or twice but later as you connect the phone to the car it won't work for sure .... a real pain .... the only way for me is to use the old OP6 with android 10 custom ROM with the car, and the OP9P (main device and number!) not connected at all with the car, using a BT headset to answer while driving ..... what a shame!

Have you tried setting don't optimize for aa, then when you plus your phone into your car hold on the notification. Change it to important then turn sound and vibration off for that notification
I had similar issues with my OP9. I then made sure USB debugging was on in developer settings and that fixed the issue.

thanks for suggestion but no way, I can connect once the OP9P playing with usb in developer section settings, but it works once, and I have to delete the car from the phone and the phone from the car settings ! When I reconnect to the car the OP9P starts to opening AA and closes it quickly, it never connects as my old OP6 with android 10 and custom ROM does ....
Now I am waiting for amazon to deliver other usb cables from Ugreen, but I don't think they will solve my issue .... hope very soon a custom ROM will arrive for this OP9P so that I will probably solve this SW issue, not sure it is only on Goolge side the reason for this issue, I suppose it could be something on Oneplus Oxygen ....

You need developer settings on.
You need to turn on USB Debugging.
If this still fails, try switching the DEFAULT USB CONFIGURATION to FILE TRANSFER from NO DATA TRANSFER.
You may need to reboot after this, you may not.
Default USB Configuration is found under the Networking section in Developer Options, between Tethering hardware acceleration and Show Bluetooth devices without names.

all settings are ok in the OP9P, but it works as usual only once and after I stop the car in never reconnects again! if I reboot OP9P sometimes it works again .... for me it's not the "right" way to use it.
the OP6 works perfectly you can connect and disconnect how many times you want it never fails!
let's wait for next oxygen updates and maybe also google patches for their SW .... thanks again for sharing your experience!
Here is an update, after some time trying various combinations, I realized this device works perfectly the first time you connect to the car, if you turn off the car for example to get some fuel for a few minutes or less, or if you disconnect the phone and reconnect it without waiting, op9p won't connect anymore, but if you wait like a quarter then it will work perfectly.... the old op6 is not doing like that!!!!
Anyway now I know how to make it work and I can handle it someway!

Question Android Auto Issue

Does anyone know why I'm having android auto issues? When I connect my phone, it just loops connecting and disconnecting android auto over and over, and randomly will decide to connect after some amount of time or rebooting the phone. Just to clarify, once it connects it stays connected, so it's just an issue with the initialization.
It is not the cable, I've used it with my Galaxy for a while and even tried others. This issue was also present before and after rooting so I know it's not that. This was also present on the OP9 non-pro I tried. I also tried switching the default USB mode to File Transfer and PTP with no improvement.
Thanks guys!

Glad to know it's OP and not my phone. I'm confident the cable isn't the issue. In terms of your workaround, why not just set PTP as default in developer settings? What's different about setting it yourself?

First, choosing PTP or "data transfer" does the trick. When the connection to AA is stable, the phone goes back to "only charging" .
Secondly, I did not try "extensively" setting a default connection mode other than charging in dev options when looking for a work-around.
Some said it works for them (one 1+ forum) but when I tried it, it didn't for me. I did not try to set it, reboot, try, set another, reboot. I was looking for something better so I've skipped it and my actual work-around is okay for me.
Thirdly, I don't like to let a connection access to the data of my phone without having to unlock it.
