I have a strange problem, when connecting my new nexus 4 to a pc it is not showing up if mtp is selected. If I change mtp to ptp then it shows up as nexus 4 > internal storage > DCIM and pictures folders. When i change to mtp it is gone. Any solution guys? I have usb drivers installed and usb debugging enabled.
Edit : problem solved, it was my windows 8 problem, mods can you delete this thread pls. Thank you.
what was the fix?
Check your drivers in device manager in Windows. Somehow on my pc proper driver was only active in ptp mode, in mtp system tried to use some other Microsoft driver. Connect in mtp go to device manager and update the driver with the proper one.

I just turned my nexus 7 32GB on and connected it to the same cable as the 16GB I just returned. It doesn't show up on my computer at all in MTP mode. Only in PTP mode. Any ideas on what to try?
*EDIT*
USB debugging is not on. Tried to install the asus drivers and got an error about there not being a driver for 64-bit in them, despite seeing the x64 drivers in the package.
Also, as MTP, my nexus 7 shows up as VID_18D1&PID_4E41&REV_9999
Again, that's with USB debugging disabled, it shows up only as an ADB device.
*RESOLUTION*
I uninstalled the ADB driver while it was plugged in with MTP mode. I unplugged it and replugged it and now it works fine.
is usb debugging on?
i got drivers from asus site.
deleted all references to N7 and rebooted windows.
un checked debugging on N7.
went to storage and checked mtp.
connected to windows.
when windows wants to install new MTP device, pointed it to the usb_driver folder..
windows installed MTP device..
this all happened to me today.. i am brand new for this device and the N7 board.
i spose this is fine for me but i would still like to see MyComputer show as USB mass storage..
i feel like the MTP doesnt show everything , limiting my access / control..
i would like to know how to do this,
thanx

you didn't uninstall all references to adb first. even if you have to go back to a restore point. then start over for Windows to install as mtp
Windows cant find a driver for the phone, how do you use this on Windows?
You can install the drivers as part of the Android SDK, or you could search this forum for drivers, or you could goto the Development section and download mskip's Galaxy Nexus 4 Toolkit and install the drivers from there.

installed the drivers and Windows sees it as an Android ADB device but it doesnt mount anything. How do I transfer files over USB?
I extracted the drivers from the Android SDK and posted it up. Check my sig for the link.
tried those too and its still not mounting anything
Windows 7 detected my phone without any drivers installed and I was able to mount the internal storage. The only thing the sdk drivers allow for are adb and fastboot interfacing, so they shouldn't be needed if all you are trying to do is mount the device.
try different usb port my pc did that at first.
I'm not sure why, but it worked for me on windows 7 and automatically updated the drivers. The weird thing is that adb recognizes the nexus 4 as a Samsung phone

Same issue here until I switched to the cable that came with the phone and it worked. Maybe just a fluke, not sure.

Sorry, misread your post. Try restarting, try a different USB port, try a different cable. Also, make sure MTP mode is enabled on your phone (Settings > Storage > Menu > then check Media Device).

Have you found a solution yet? To transfer files from my PC to the phone, I have to make sure debugging is turned off and connect with MTP mode. But if I want to use ADB, I need to turn debugging on which loses the PC's ability to see the phone at all unless I connect in PTP mode. All a bit weird but at least it works. Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers?
Phone mounts fine on 2 different computers, its something with my computer.
Its not the USB cable, tried different ports, I tried USB debugging on and off, camera mode and MTP. Device manager sees it as a Nexus 4 but says the drivers didnt install.
So my next question is why isnt Windows installing the drivers properly?
i have got two nexus 4
and with one of them i am not able to connect it to my main computer (with a second computer it works).
With the other nexus 4 i have no problems on any computer...
os is alway win 7.
just linking and sharing a similar thread [Q]Computer won't recognize phone? which covers same/similar issue and resolution.
Hi,
This is my first Nexus device (N4), I know they have an emulated SD card, so I expected to connect it to my Win 7 PC via USB, and for the SD card directory to be shown as a file system / drive in Windows. This doesn't happen.
Phone is in MTP mode, screen isn't locked. Am I missing something here, a driver perhaps, or does this functionality no longer exist?
Thanks,
Des
You should get a Nexus 4 device along with your drives, you open that, then go to 'internal storage'
If you're not getting that, then it's probably driver related.
If it doesn't detect by USB at all, you may have a faulty device like me.
If you plug your phone into the wall with the AC adapter, does it constantly say " charging (USB)" in the battery settings?
This defect means I cannot root or charge the phone properly... It sucks..

Most likely a driver issue. When I have use the adb driver I cannot see my device as a storage device. Switching to the default driver Windows installs lets me see it but adb no longer works.
I ended up just using AirDroid to do any file transfers.
There are a few reports of the stock charger being reported as USB charging actually, so it might not be all bad.
The phone might be in MTP mode, but has it installed the MTP driver ? Check Device Manager.
On my own XP system, MTP wouldn't work for me until I turned off USB debugging.

^ This.
On XP, MTP does not work if USB Debugging is turned on. It may be the same for Windows 7 as well.
Same behavior on Windows 7, just fixed my issues. Thanks!
I got similar problem with my N4, yesterday I flashed Mahdi-ROM 2.4[1/02] then my USB stopped working. I can view files through PC, but cannot upload to phone. It says device has been disconnected, but it's still connected Turning off USB debuging didn't help.
I cannot even flash kernel uploaded through Airdroid, recovery gives error - cannot open zip file.
Edit: Nevermind, its PC problem. With other PC it works normal.
use universal naked drivers.
fastboot adb and mtp and ptp working.

After I rooted my N4 a few months ago same thing, cannot get MTP on WinXP
Works fine on my Win7 machines though, its pretty annoying
Tried ALL the fixes I could find, no go
Uninstal all drivers, reconnect N4 let Windows install drivers, it will probably be adb device drivers, then select in device manager adb device drivers update drivers and check install from specific location and on next screen check don't search!
Then you could be able to select mtp. All of this should be done with USB debugging turned off and USB connection as mtp!

Hey Buudy thanks this helps me
Hi guys, I have my N4 for about a month now but since I got it I never got MTP to detect on my laptop. I was only transferring my files through PTP(camera mode) and bluetooth so far. Now I want to transfer my Band road backup and flash custom roms so that would require me to browser through the folders on the laptop.
PTP mode only works when USB debugging is ticked though. And MTP is nowhere near. When using PTP I have to manually move the files to correct folders after disconnecting the phone from pc.
I have rooted, unlocked so i think drivers are all fine right?
I thought about Wifi transfer and such but I have limited bandwidth here and only have one laptop to try.

Reinstall drivers from the Nexus 4 toolkit. Go in to device manager and see if it says "Galaxy Nexus ADB Interface" (yes Galaxy Nexus). If it does, then enable USB debugging. It will show up.
Yep, unload and reinstall the driver.

The problem for me was Windows media player, i had to install that to be able to connect my nexus 4 through MTP to my computer.
Dont know if it helps for you, but you can try it!
What os is your laptop running? if XP then search for mtp xp fix.
Got it working. yay! Thanks guys!
Nexus 4 with CM 10.2
With usb debugging turned off my nexus 4 will not show up in my computer (windows 8) at all, if I enabled USB debugging and select enumerate as camera (PTP) it will show up in my computer however I can only access the DCIM director, if I select media device (MTP) it will not show up at all, If I disable usb debugging and select either MTP or PTP I also get nothing.
I've tried reinstalling the drivers for windows but no luck, it used to work and then I installed CM and now it is broken, ideas?
desinstall and delete all adb/nexus/fastboot related drivers. then restart and reconnect nexus and wait till windows install the driver.
if u want adb and sd u need to install universal naked driver.
