Hi,
Just got a Nexus 4, had a Galaxy S2 before. The problem is that I can't get it to be recognized in Windows 7 x64. Nothing really happens, I plug it, it starts to charge but nothing more, no icon appearing at device manager etc. Tried to install the drivers via nexus 4 toolkit and nothing changed, tried on another windows 7, a notebook and its the same. Changed the USB cable, no difference. Charging and nothing more.
I searched on internet and found similar issues but didn't find a solutions.
PS: Its a new phone, never unlocked or rooted.
Works here dude download latest android SDK and go to device manger on computer update drivers

Installed the toolkit, folowed the instructions but the problem still there. The problem is that when I connect the phone I don't get the "connect to usb" familiar sound but the charging starts. So is not that the drivers are wrong or bad, the problem is that is that the phone doesn't even shows as something in device manager.
Go to your phone settings.... then click on about phone....
then scroll down and hit the "build number 10 times" that will unlock the developer menu
then go back to "about phone" scroll down to the developer menu.
then check box for "usb debugging" and the computer will see the phone.
Had this problem too the first time i got my Nexus 4.
It frustrated me for the first couple of hours when i could'nt connect it to my pc, and no solution seems to work.
However, i found the solution. This was: Install the latest version of Windows Media Player.
This phone uses MTP, instead of mass storage, and thus needs WMP.

I have the latestes WMP version and anyway, I have a digital camera that works in MTP in this same PC.
This is becoming short of solutions and I beginning to think maybe its a nexus 4 hardware fault.
turn them both off and on again
I have this same problem and haven't found a solution yet!
I have this problem only when USB Debugging isn't turned on. I'm not sure what's wrong with it but by computer (running W8 Pro) won't see my phone until I turn on debugging. All drivers are installed but the only way I can copy files to/from my N4 is with debugging enabled.
Would love to see a solution come through and I'll continue looking for one myself to help us all out.
-Sent from that.... you know.... thing that sends these things-
Same issue.
I have tried over 5 computers running windows 7 and about 5 different usb cables.
I have tried having usb debugging checked, unchecked, MTP on/off and PTP on/off.
Still nothing.
Im having this problem too. I tried in 4 different pc's and a mac. My nexus 4 cant be detected. Its just charging. Weird thing is that no "Charging (USB)" on my lock screen just "Charging"
i had the same problem and read everysingle forum and finally found the working solution
Device Manager - right click device (Android ADB OR Nexus 4 ADB interface)
- Update Driver Software
- Browse my computer for driver software
- Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
- then choose "MTP USB Device" OR "USB composite driver"
- Next
here you go instant discovery
make sure you are on MTP and USB debugging is on

Windows 7. It worked fine for me before the 4.3 update.
After Playing around for hours, I've discovered the following method to FIX Windoze 7 Nexus 7 (N7) MTP mounting. Using PTP (mount as camera) is mostly useless since it limits the type of files you can exchange. To set up your Nexus 7 (2012 at least) Follow the Following Steps:
Put N7 in MTP mode
Connect to windows
Open 'My Computer'
If the N7 is not there, open 'Device Manager' (Right click on 'My Computer' and select 'Manage')
If connected in 'Device Manager' as ADB device at the top of the list:
Open up 'Developer Options' on the N7 (Should be at the bottom of the 'Settings' list. if it's not there tap on 'About Tablet' then at the bottom, tap on 'Build Number' seven (7) times. Then go back to 'Settings' and 'Developer Options' will be the second from the bottom of the list)
Un-check USB debugging... see if N7 appears in My computer
Then, while connected, re-enable USB debugging
It'll probably go away again...
Go back into 'Device Manager'
Uninstall driver for ADB device *Including local files*
Wait about 15 seconds
Scan for hardware changes
Your PC should re-install the correct drivers
That's it... This method has worked for a number of people I have chatted with so, hopefully it'll work for you.

No matter what I do, I cant get MTP to install. I'm using Vista. I was able to transfer data before, I dont know what changed. I tried to install MTP with Debugging on and off to no avail. I'm also using a Nexus 10.

If you have android 4.3, I recommend going into developer options and selecting revoke USB debugging, then uninstall the Windows drivers in device manager (all while disconnected) then run SDK manager and update all. Then make sure the N10 is in USB debugging, restart your N10 & pc. When they're fully booted plug in the N10 and look on the screen to see if it asks for permission to connect to this pc in USB debugging mode... see what happens. I don't have an N10 but this might work... Then if not, maybe try the steps in the OP

I don't know.
Anyone else with problems seeing the storage after plugging into PC? adb command works and device drivers installed. Found another forum where turning the usb from MTP to charging and back under developer options does the trick. I have a non stock ROM and seeing if fresh out of the box experiences the same thing.
I have the same issue and can't seem to figure out how to get it to work. My work around has been to use ES File Explorer and open Remote Manager.
Edit: I just plugged it in again to see what I can find. I turned off USB Debugging and Developer Options. Plugged in and pulled the notification bar down, there is an option to change USB Settings to Charging, Power Supply, File Transfers (this works), Photo Transfer and MIDI. Give it a go!

I am running to the exact same problem.
I have tried with USB Debugging off AND on, still no go. I think there's a problem with installing the drivers. Whenever I check the device manager, it still says the drivers weren't installed. I have tried installing the Google drivers. What do we do?!

I'm able to get to the pulldown and change the setting from charging to MTP. Every time I do that, I get a window showing that I'm installing the drivers for Nexus 6P. Then it completes. I can do this over and over again. In the device manager, there's a little exclamation mark by the Nexus 6P and says these drivers weren't installed Code 28. I have exhausted Google to no avail!
Anyone find a solution to this?

You chose to install the drivers manually instead of having the system do it for you? Right click the yellow exclamation .. update drivers .. allow me to pick .. choose the download file location see what that gives you.

When I choose the location, I see a bunch of options. The most relevant ones are ADB Interface and Android Device. Under Android Device there are several more options such as Android Adapter Interface, Android Bootloader Interface, and the such; no mention of MTP.

So when you change the option in the phone from charging to file transfer, did you check the device manager to see if there any unknown device showing somewhere?

Changing it from charging to MTP shows a MTP device in Manager with a yellow exclamation mark next to it. When looking into the details, it says that no drivers are installed. When I try "Updating Drivers", it says "Windows failed to install drivers. Code 28" or something along those lines. Code 28 MEANS that Windows failed to install drivers.
Thanks for nothing Microsoft.
Nexus 6p Connection to PC Issue - This Helped!
I had similar problems with PC not recognising my Device. I found http://www.technobuzz.net/install-google-nexus-6p-usb-drivers/ which helped me solve my issues.
1. Downloaded and installed the Huawei Nexus 6p drivers. This installed a Huawei Task Manager which connection to pair was still not recognisable.
2. Deleted old drivers (acer, samsung, htc) from' Device Manager'. This actually helped PC recognise my device which showed up in the Device Manager>Other Devices>Nexus 6p, also in PC interface but once moved off charging to MTP, computer didnt recognise device.
3. Downloaded and installed the adb/fastboot installer. Followed instructions till step 10. My screen didn't show anything like Andoid ADB interface, it displayed MTP file install, which I installed. Just remember to refresh in My PC interface when changing over from charging to MTP, sometimes Nexus 6p will be hidden.
4. Uninstalled the Huawie Task Manager.
This has solved my problem with PC and Device connection. The instructions given are from what I can recall of the process I went through.
Credit to Sidharth Rathore from Technobuzz for this solution.
Hope this helps.
Later.
p.s. I have a windows 10 laptop if this helps.

I was having the same issue until I uninstalled some other debugging drivers I had installed. So I would recommend crawling through your installed apps for any other android usb drivers and uninstalling them if you still have this issue.
Working on mine right now. Found that USB 3.0 ports will not recognize device. Once plugged into a 2.0, it is recognized. Might help your issue
Hi
i have nexus 6P and when i connect the device to the pc (win 10) it shows the nexus and i can see the files but if i'm going into one of them it shows me that it empat and i know that there is files over there, it on the "moving files" when it connected to the pc .
the phone without root and with 6.0.1
thank you
When you plug it in, go to your phone and pull down the notification tray. It will say something along the lines of Connected for charging only. Click that. A pop up menu will appear, select Connect for MTP. Your internal storage will be available. If not, you may need to install the necessary drivers.
it's on mtp and i can't see the inside files
Do you mean that when you go into some folders (when browsing on your Win 10 machine), files you know are there are not shown?

Having same issue. I have to select MTP again manually from Developer Options every time then only I am able to see files. It is really frustrating but I am not able to find any other workaround yet. If someone have any other solution, pls share it.
Soulfulgrey- no, the files are there but when i enter them they seems empty and when i see them at file manager at the device they are full (for example, the camera)
someone?
Same here,
I never had this issue.
I recently updated to MTC19T
Rooted and Xposed as always.
Can connect as MTP "USB for file transfer"
Can see the folders, Download and what not, and even folders under Download, but can't see the files, which I know they are there.
including files under DCIM
Would love to know if there is a fix for it.
Maybe helps:

First you have to connect your device to pc and select the MTP option.
Then on your pc go to device manager and you will see unknown device option.
So right click on it and select update from the computer and select the directory

and down choose let me pick from a list ...
Option and select android then click on MTP usb driver and install.

are you running windows 10? i have a realtek thing on my laptop and im having issues with it detecting my Mi Mix
To solve mtp issue
Just make sure u are in none windows N version or ltsb
If u are in N version of Windows install Windows Media player
Package to add mtp protocol to windows
Maybe the media server service on your device is disabled

Comrades,
Just to clarify this is what worked for me - I pieced the info together from this thread...
http://en.miui.com/thread-858267-1-1.html
Several people hinted at the solution in the thread, but didn't specify exactly how to do it. Here is what worked for me - but this is Android and Windows so it could be some other random setting somewhere in your phone or PC.
I enabled developer options and debugging mode with the usual magic incantation.
I connected my phone and told Windows to open folder when it connects,
On the phone I pulled down the notification screen you will see at the bottom "Android System - USB charging device". You have to use your psychic powers to know that you need to tap this notification.
When you tap it you see "Tap for more options". so...tap for more options.
A new and magic dialogue box opens up that gives a bunch of options. Top of the list, and the default option is "Charge this device". But the second option - which was a winner for me - is "Transfer files". Tap that radio button (while whispering the word "abracadabra" under your breath) and there you go!!! The folder magically appears on my File Manager.
If you think of it like one of those 1980s text adventure games it's actually rather fun.
If you think of it any other way it's a freaking pain in the arse!!!
By the way, if it doesn't work you probably thought I was joking about whispering abracadabra...I wasn't!!
I assume this is a bug that you can't just tell the phone to default to file transfer???
Cheers,
