Hi,
Is there a way to make nexus 4 as a usb drive rather den a MTP in windows? cos i think that the transfer is way slower via MTP.
Thanks..
Well no solution yet, but I've found something from another LG device:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1800935
Has anyone tried this command?
Would be great if this will work with our device though :fingers-crossed:
Maybe that will work!!!! But not sure will it cause other problems.....

Ok i just tried the command. All it's it does is unchecks MTP. If you go into storage USB connection you'll see MTP is not ticked..
I'm using paranoid Rom which is based on stock Rom and i have usb mass storage when connecting to computer. I had to uncheck usb debugging.

Nice!! Did you execute the command or is it a feature from paranoid?

When usb debugging is off and i plug the usb cable to my laptop, the pop up with options to open folder appears on the laptop like if i was using a usb sick. I don't have to do anything from the phone.

Well, I tried the command I posted above. I am running CM10.1
I wasn't able to get any kind of usb communication at all after setting the prop.
Hopefully there's a solution coming soon. MTP is quite nice, but it sucks copying media files from different folders. You have to confirm every dialog

Works fine on mine. Try one of the usb ports on the keyboard. Also when you plug the phone in USB does the android USB storage screen come up?
You need to press the enable USB button on that screen before Mac will recognize it.

Same here. Works fine. Maybe you are not enabling the USB storage mode?

Don't have an iMac but I do have two MacBooks (or I did before I sold my old MacBook two days ago) and both of them picked up my Nexus S fine. Oddly, though the new MacBook never could find the phone for ADB.
I don't have A usb port on the keypad...but when I connect it to the monitor I get the little android in my phone...I enable USB storage and he turns orange..!!!

And nothing happens on the computer? It should pop up a drive called NO NAME
Note that since Snow Leopard, the default setting in Finder is to not show disks on the desktop. You have to go in the Finder and look at the list of connected disks on the top left-hand column, you'll surely see it there.

are you sure? I'm running snow leopard and have no memory of changing that on either laptop. They both came stock with snow leopard.

I have a macbook with snow leopard. When I mount a drive it does not show on my desktop. I have to open finder to see it under devices. I don't know if it an option setting or not. In comparison my old Mac (before OSX) would show all drives mounted on the top under the Mac Hd Drive. Make sure you are setting your phone to connect also.
I have never had any problems on either PC or Mac.

Of course it's an option, and has been an option for as long as I have used OS X (since Tiger at the very least). Apple just changed the default in Snow Leopard.
kenvan19: if you don't see that as the default on both your Macs, could it be because you have migrated your users from previous Macs? The settings you had before would have been imported, and you would have never seen the new default...

Did you try another cable at all?
I'm really scared now, I'm in the same situation. I just bought a phone off eBay last week and I was told on the forum to try a new cable which I ordered and has yet to arrive.
The seller said it was "New-mint condition" mentioned nothing about a corrupt usb drive.
What can I do?? Is there anyway I can fix it myself? I really want to be able to transfer music to it.
When I connect my nexus 7 to my computer with win7,
the MTP device appears and I can transfer files without problem.
However, when I finish file transfer, I found that there is no 'remove device safely' notification in the right hand corner
So, I have no way to remove the usb and I am afraid of data corruption
My nexus 7 is just rooted with stock rom and kernel.
Any solution to that?
Well mine shows up as "Portable device" in Windows Explorer, but I see no "Safely remove" either in the list, in Windows 7.
However, I had no trouble just disconnecting the USB cable. Though I always close any open Windows Explorer windows that show the Nexus 7or its files first, before doing that.
My device is not rooted yet but I doubt that should make a difference.
Did you guys install this driver?

Yes I have installed it in order to root my nexus.
I have also tried connecting my nexus to notebook which doesn't have any nexus 7 driver installed, but got no luck.

I tried to connect my nexus 4 to my PC , but it would not recognize it under my computer like it should so I could drag and drop. I tried mounting it as MTP and PTP and neither would be recognised.
I ended up transferring my pictures using adb, but I don't know why it didn't work the standard way.
Anyone have any ideas?
Have you tried using drop box? It's really simple and automatic. Just set it to upload only on Wi-Fi

I've used it before but I want to know why the nexus 4 was not recognised by my computer
Is Android debugging on?
Is it having trouble with installing the MTP driver ? Try turning off USB debugging, I couldn't get MTP to work until I did that.

Maybe you've got the same problem that we have here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2005437
Maybe you try:
A different USB port
A different USB cable
Uninstall existing drivers + installing the drivers again
A different computer
And if all that didn't help you can join us in the above mentioned thread. We don't have a solution yet but maybe we can draw some attention to the issue.
All the driver seem to be fine and the nexus 4 is recognised via adb. It used to work before so I don't what's wrong.
Edit: yes USB debugging was on
Ok, but that's actually good! What happens if you plug it into a different usb port?

It says your device could be faster with USB 2.0 and then it is not recognised.
Now that's really odd. Have you tried a different USB cable?

I'm using the stock lg cable. I'll try with my nexus 7 cable.
Edit with my nexus 7 cable it says connected by the windows 7 notification, but when I check in computer it does not show anything
But you have seen your N4 in the explorer before, right? I have seen my N4 on my GFs windows machine as Nexus 4, not as a storage device.

It shows up under devices and printers, but not under my computer
Edit:maybe it has to do with android 4.2 because I just plugged in a flash drive and it showed up under my computer
And what happens if you double-click it there? Can you get your pix then?
Edit: I didn't find my N4 as a storage device, so you can't find it as a letter in your explorer but a real device.

If I double click it it takes me to nexus 4 properties. My nexus 7 does not show up in my computer either that's what bled me to think it has to do with 4.2
Edit:nevrmind its not 4.2 because I just connected a lg motion which is running 4.0 and it does not show up either
Maybe someone with a win7 machine can chip in here, since I think it is a windows problem. I am on a linux laptop, so I can't really help you there. But good luck anyway!

Thanks for your help
By George, I fixed it I went into device manager I right clicked on SAMSUNG android phone then nexus 4 under that section, then I clicked update driver. Then I clicked on browse my computer for driver software after I clicked on let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer and I select mtp. The all of a sudden auto play came up with my device connected as a camera (ptp)
Now all my phones show up under my computer
MTP uses a completely different driver from ADB. So you can have one working but not the other.

I have no clue sometime when I connect the nexus 4 it shows connected as adb composite device and sometimes it says mtp.Now everything works though it took me a while but I fixed it.
Hello sir,
I have a nexus 4 stock unlocked and android 4.4.2 KOT4H i have a issue that my phone is connected for charging on pc but doesn't show up as mtp adb or even fastboot , however it connected for sometime during the day and when i rebooted it ..!! It was just charging and again no adb fastboot or mtp! Please help me solve the issue
Most likely issues would be either drivers, USB cable or USB port. Try a different PC, try to reinstall drivers, try another cable, check to see if any physical damage to USB. Maybe test to see if adb over WiFi works ad well to help narrow down the issue

I have the same problem often too. What I do to fix it ranges from so many things. Some times a simple reboot helps (PC and phone) sometimes a different PC helps. Sometimes switching to PTP instead of MTP helps adb. Sometimes its the driver. Use a universal adb driver. Or use nexus 4 drivers. Or sometimes it's the SDK. Redownload the SDK and install the Google USB driver things. I have never got wireless adb working so you can try it. Sometime switching to USB 2.0 or 3.0 helps. Or switching to the ones on the front of my case helps, Even though I have a good motherboard. Try using adb in recovery.
Oh and last thing. It might be your custom kernel/rom (if your running one). Or USB fast charge is on. Just a possibility. Hope this helps.

no i tried everything in my windows pc it doesnt even connect as adb now
I cant connect my device from adb or fastboot , the phone is just charging, the usb cable is fine i tested other phones too.. I and what is fast charging?
Fast charging means sucking more power from the USB port to charge faster. Anyways do other android devices show up when you type adb devices with others plugged in?

Yes all devices are mounting as mtp adb and fastboot but not mine
Make sure you got good drivers, like the ones I mentioned. And make sure you have ADB on(about phone > tab build number, then in developer options enable adb) and try changing/ messing around with storage mounts ( storage > tap option/menu at corner> USB computer connection) that's all I got. hope I help. I don't what's wrong though...

I doubt it, could be though. Thank god the USB port on the nexus 4 is easily replaceable. In this situation, go download a toolkit (I know, they are bad), and install the adb drivers from there. And try doing some adb/fastboot commands in he toolkit. Also try relocking/unlocking the Bootloader/rooting because that involves fast boot and adb commands. Last thing I would do is try a different PC. Even if all your phones work on the PC your using right now.

I was wondering if anyone could tell me if there is a way to hook my nexus 4 up to my CD deck in my car via usb and have it work is this possible ?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Free mobile app
I'm afraid it won't work. The N4 only has MTP and PTP modes and a usual car radio can't handle those protocols. It would have been possible using mass storage mode, but unfortunately it doesn't support it
