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
My Win10 Insider Preview machine did not recognize the phone. Nothing happened when I connected the phone and I could not access storage of the phone.
Below is the solution for it:
Go to Control Panel - Device Manager - LeMobile Android Device (could be under a different name. Choose the one that is your phone) - Update Driver - Manually Install a Driver - Let me pick a list of available drivers on my computer - MTP USB .

Uhm ... when you connected the phone to computer you changed the mode on phone from USB charging to MTP mode ?
In my Win10 x64 build 14392.447 not problem to see the phone in MTP mode after changing mode on phone.
Alternative solution is to use KDE Connect app over Wifi. Bonus is that once set up, it is possible to push files from the phone to the PC without any interaction on the PC side - e.g. useful if the PC doubles as a file server.

Both of my home & works computer (Win10 14959) failed to detect it as MTP or PTP drive. Might have been due to those having previous phone's drivers.
But I faced same problem with fresh out of the box Win8 laptop.
No issue with the MTP, however I can't seem to get adb to work. list of devices attached is showing empty.

Wanted to add my voice here too that I did the same - I had to clean up previous drivers I had installed over time for varios phones and different ADB versions like the one from clockworkmod - once I cleaned that out and installed google drivers from SDK PTP worked and I was able to do Helium restores
I had issue on my Win10 PC, but I found that after I disabled USB debugging, it would work as MTP/PTP, but not for ADB of course. So apparently, I have to toggle USB debugging ON/OFF to switch back and forth from MTP and ADB.
Small pain in the butt.
Solution.
I had the same issue. Drove me NUTS for about an hour. In the end, simply unchecked the USB DEBUGING in developer settings. This will make it pop up immediately.
Update:
I clearly should have read the post above mine first.
I finally retired my ASUS Tf700 and now have a N10 running CM 13-20160712 Nightly. So far I am loving the N10 but have never run a device with a custom ROM.
I have large media file on the N10 that I want to transfer to a Win 7 PC.
I connected the N10 to my PC and it shows under devices but there are no files visible...no driver??
I tried using Bluetooth but Win needs a driver but I have not installed one as I don't know how nicely plays with CM.
I have done a bit of searching but everything I find seems to relate to either stock ROM or is part of the process of customising...loading ABD DRIVER??
By now you will have realised I am an Android Numpty:crying:
I gather a can use an OTG cable and normal Thumb drive or one with a micro USB at one end and standard USB at the other.
I am happy to work my way through whatever is the best solution but I am having trouble deciding which way to go and would like some advice.
I prefer win shared folder and Total Commander + Lan plugin for it on Nexus. On any android device in fact.
When you connect your device to pc there is a choice on android. Slide from up to down to show how usb will work. Sometimes it connects like for charging mode only.
Funny, but just restock my nexus and have the same problem. Win 7, there is only "Android ADB Interface" and no device in My Computer.
Enabling USB debugging on android helped here.
And finally right answer just found
1. Enable USB debugging: Go to phone settings -> About -> Tap build number repeatedly until developer menu is enabled. Go there and tick USB debugging.
2. On your PC, go to your device manager (when the Phone is plugged in and set to MTP), locate the phone, right click on it -> properties
3. go to the Driver tab
4. click Update Driver
5. click Browse my Computer for driver software
6. click Let my pick...
7. select USB Composite Device
8. finish up with the assistant
then reinsert device to USB.
Today my rooted Galaxy Note 3 running Phronesis N7 port v4 ROM (Lollipop) suddenly is not showing up in Windows explorer. However, when I go to recovery mode, I can see the device in windows and browse the files without problems. The only difference is that the device shows up now in windows with the name "hlte" instead of the usual "Android phone" name.
It actually connects fine when I use "FX Explorer" app with its file sharing feature which allows me to connect via wifi with an Internet browser or any other similar windows/android browser but not in windows explorer with usb cable.
This ROM has been working great for months and I cannot think of any changes made recently.
I re-started both the PC and the phone, pull the battery, etc. to no avail.
Obviously it's not the cable (which I've anyways changed) or the drivers which they report as the 'latest' by windows, so I'm at a loss.
Any ideas ?
Thanks
Install Samsung drivers again .

I already did uninstall and re-install the drivers to no avail.
However, I did a backup and then restored in TWRP a backup from 2 weeks ago and the problem is not there so it had to be caused by an app or a setting introduced during the past two weeks .... So I restored again the backup that I did earlier and uninstalled the apps that I remember but the problem is still there.
Did you check which USB protocol you have selected, maybe you changed this by accident. Then you connect your mostly the USB setting are available by pulldown but you might need to search in settings.
All new phones using MTP protocol, you need to have installed th media player installed on windows for driver(the samsund driver will not install this). I thing it's a buggy implementation, slow, only single file tranfer and often need to reconnect your device to work.
Optional you can select PTP which esentional simulates a camera.
In some custom roms you can select the good old mass storage protocol. Which is fast, stable but need to close every app accessing internal or external storage.

Did you set debug usb in developers options? Which USB mode is selected also in developers options?
<All new phones using MTP protocol, you need to have installed th media player installed on windows for driver >
Not true at all .
OP download and run USBDEVIEW and delete the drivers/ usb port .

USB debugging is enabled and MTP mode is the mode selected. Phronesis selects MTP by default in the pulldown which is really handy rather than having to switch from charging mode every time that you connect the cable.

Not sure how you mean to delete drivers, do you mean through USBDEVIEW? or the samsung drivers through windows uninstall?
I've already uninstalled/installed them before (see post #3).
Here is what USBDEVIEW gives me:
Through USBdeview delete.

Try to switch off USB debugging, don't know why but sometimes windows drivers go wrong, especially when you use a different usb port and it tries to install them - I solve restarting pc plus a kick (stress relief) and Note3

No luck ... it didn't make any difference. Thanks anyway.
I haven't been able to get data transfer to work when connected to computer since Color OS 6 update. Pop up warning says resetting USB Debugging is required. Actions already taken :
1. Turn usb debugging on/off
2. Turn developer options on/off
3. Revoke usb debugging (adb devices shows device ID)
4. Enable usb tethering
Any suggestions?
After days of no response and some efforts of painful google-searching , I finally find a solution using adb command which is
adb shell svc usb setfunctions mtp
That being said there should not be any issue with usb / adb driver whatsoever, because I can use file transfer on my LG V30+ just fine using the very same laptop. Also system security check showed usb transfer is being blocked (see attached pics)
