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.

Realized that in my Touch Pro I was given an option to connect via ActiveSync or as a Disk Drive when I plugged in my USB cable. However that ain't the case for the X1. Apparently I gotta go to Settings -> Connections -> USB to PC -> Disk Drive and select it there (before I plug in the cable). Any way (or any app to install) such that I can be given the option to select when I plug in my cable?
I made a program shortcut on the Xperiapanel to /Windows/USBtoPC.exe to bring it up faster without going through the menus. Still have to do it manually though
It worked at first, when i connected via USB it gave me the option to connect in either MSC or MTP, default is set to MTP i think. Anyway, now when i connect my phone it says in the status bar "Connected via USB in MTP mode" yet my PC won't recognise it at all. I've tried both modes and when i try MSC it says "Please connect phone" even though it already is. It can't be the USB port on the phone because it works fine when i'm charging it. I've also tried the same USB ports on my laptop with various other peripherals and they are fine.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled PC companion but to no avail.
Don't know what to do really, short of taking out the SD card and putting stuff on it manually.
Anyone else experienced this problem?
Well in USB Mass storage mode you have to make SD card connection on the dropdown notification on Arc.
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

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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.
Is it just me?
My computer will only see my phone if I plug it in while it (phone) is turned on. If I power on or reboot the phone (while connected via USB) it never shows up. I have to pull the USB cable and plug it back in. I tried multiple computers JIC and same results.
I AM rooted (systemless) if that makes a difference. I guess I'll unroot to see if it has any affect. Hopefully I don't have a bad device.
Rooting shouldn't have any impact. I have to toggle the USB connection type every time I plug into my PC. PTP seems to be the only one that recognizes for ADB. Fastboot works fine.
Thanks Fury, I did notice that as well. MTP would get toggled @ each plug in, but I'm talking actual connection detect not type of connection detected.
Can someone confirm normal operation on their 6P for me. I contacted Google and they are telling me it is working as designed. This would be the first phone that I have owned that is not recognized by a computer during reboot or power on. Charging seems not to be affected, only "data" connectivity...
I got this used S7 Edge, Verizon model. I have set it up, charges well... but now I realized that when I connect the USB cable to the PC, nothing happens, it just charges. Tried with multiple cables and ports. Installed the drivers from here, installed the Samsung "Smart Switch" software (that does update the drivers also).
Nothing.
I have enabled the Developer mode and there, under USB Configuration it says "MTP". Clicking on it brings up the other options, but touching any of them doesn't change the "MTP" setting - for example touching "Charge this phone" leaves the MTP selected. And not working.
Any ideas?
I have returned the phone.
