USB connection issue - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I connect my Nexus 4 to my PC using the USB cable its only recognized if I turn USB debugging on. Can I fix this? If USB debugging is off, I can only connect it as a PTP device.

OTG usb modem

I would like to get my nexus 7 to connect to the internet via a cdma usb modem. Using my lg rumor touch and sprint with a data package a usb cable and a otg cable. However when I plug my phone into the nexus 7 the phone doesn't give me the option of what kind of connection it should be. When connected to a computer I get the option. Is there some diver I need on the tablet or could it be an issue due to me using a 3rd party cable to connect the phone.

[Q] Safely remove or eject media

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.

[Q] will usb modem work with usb otg connected without rooting the device?

Without rooting the device and enabling usb debugging, will using a usb modem work if i plug in with the help of USB OTG for getting 3g/4g internet? . the usb modem does nto require username/ass to connect to internet. So as long it is detected and drivers loaded it should work.
I need to know about it so that i can send it to my parents.
I cant answer you actual question only a suggestion should it not work.
Get them a 3g router like a mifi. Powered by batterys or usb and allows multiple devices to connect too.

[Q] Nexus 4 USB charge issue

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

USB OTG won't mount

I bought today a USB OTG cable and it works perfectly with 2 of my 3 USB sticks. The 3rd one just won't mount, when I connect the stick it shows me it was connected but nothing else happens.
Unfortunately I don't have a PC to test the USB stick or something, I really need to access the data via. USB OTG with my phone.
I'm on a stick unrooted KitKat if that helps.
