I have been using nexus 7 and every time after I finish transferring files from my PC to Nexus, I do not see an option on PC or Nexus to safely disconnect or eject nexus from PC. On nexus I have only two options disconnect USB debugging mode and other is to change to camera PTP mode from media MTP. Is it safe to just to pull the usb cable out after finishing the transfer????
Yes it is safe, simply unplug the USB cable

Do you get the 'Safely Remove Hardware' icon in the System tray (lower right) on the PC? Do you get that icon for other usb devices like thumbdrives or sdcards? If the icon is there, click it (normal left-click) and choose 'Eject MTP device'. If you get the icon for everything but the N7, you may have a driver problem, but as long as you can transfer files you're probably good. Just make sure the transfers are done before unplugging.

I have an issue with usb connecting. When connected to computer my phone starts to charge and that's all.... I have only one icon in status menu and it's debugging one or none if debugging is off. I don't get the option to select charge only, disk drive or tethering. I tried to pull down status menu but can't do nothing from there, also I have tried to check and uncheck default action type when usb is connected but nothing happens and also setting phone to ask me what to do when usb is connected. I still get phone charged but nothing more.
Any idea is welcomed.
Cheers.
Try a usb on the pc and not a hub

Since the S4 does not have the USB Mass Storage device anymore, how can I safely remove the USB cable from the PC?
when I right-click on the Galaxy S4 Portable Device icon on the PC, there is no option to EJECT or "SAFELY Remove Hardware" like on the standard USB devices.

MTP is a lot safer, because the PC doesn't get to the low level file system details, so it can't ruin them with a bad unplug.
There is no "safely remove" or anything because the phone is never mounted by the computer. Its just transferring over MTP.
Just don't pull the cable while transferring and you'll be good.
Hi,
When I connect my Nexus 4 to USB port at work for charging, it gets mounted as a media device (MTP).
I used HTC Sensation before buying a Nexus 4. In Sensation, I had an option of "charge only". With this option selected, the device was getting charged via USB, but was not mounted. I need a similar option for Nexus 4, since I'm not supposed to plug in a media device on my office PC.
Is there any way to charge my Nexus 4 via USB without mounting as a media device?
original charger and cable?, it shouldnt detect data just power.
Go into storage, click the 3 dots, click usb computer connection and disable MTP

I'm trying to unlock boot loader and root my device, But for some reason when I plug my nexus player into my computer no drivers get installed and under device manager there is no android device or anything of that nature under any of the categories. I've made sure developer debugging and USB debugging are enabled and turned on, but nothing seems to work. I even installed google usb drivers if that has anything to do with it. So does anyone know why its not showing up?
Faulty USB Connection

Most likely it's the USB cable or OTG cable, one of the two could be faulty. Another thing, try different USB ports on your PC. Try turning the USB debugging on and off several times, USB cable and OTG cable must be attached to your PC, while doing this. Remember now, your PC must also be authorized for the connection. You should see a white pop up, just check mark the block, click on OK.

Yes try different USB ports and different USB cables. My PC didn't recognize the NP when using the front USB ports, but it works fine when using the back ports.

It shows up if I turn debugging on and off a lot but when restarting while rooting it wont show up again and I think this is the reason my rooting isnt working right could that be a problem?
When I connect my 6P to my Win7 computer with the supplied USB cable, I get a notification asking me to choose:
"Use USB for: charging, power supply, file transfers (mtp), photo transfers (ptp), midi"
I would have thought files transfers would be the right choice to use with adb, but that doesn't work (devices list on computer is empty). ptp works fine.
Is this normal? Is there a way to always choose ptp, so that I don't get a menu on my phone every time?
EDIT: I see that Developers Options includes "Select USB Configuration". This is set to MTP, but that doesn't help. It still defaults to charging and I must choose PTP rather than MTP when I first plug in. BTW, I'm on the 5 Oct Nougat, but behavior was the same on Marshmallow.
