Im aware that one or two other threads have been created with this same general question but one thing they didnt ask is what to do if you cant fix it?
As the thread topic states my Nexus 7 will not connect to my PC via USB (It is not seen at all, its not a driver issue I've tried). It will not charge when turned on but it was charging when turned off last night. When I checked this morning it said I had a full battery but after turning the tablet on it said I only had 60% battery. All the started happening after I charged it with a battery pack at work the other day because I forgot my charger at home (some people have had similar problems after using car chargers). It will let me connect a flash drive to it via USB-OTG. I have tried 3 different cables on 2 different PCs (One running Windows 7 and the other running Windows 8). I really dont know where to go for help anymore as Ive spent the past 2-3 days googling like a mad man trying to find an answer and noone seems to have one.
I would love for someone to really help me out and get some steps that could fix this, however, if its not fixable how do I RMA it? I cant lock the bootloader and I cant flash a factory image.
You say it is not a driver issue, but your symptoms indicate it is. I would start over with the removal and re-installation of the proper drivers.

I've uninstalled them. Every time I go to manually install them the guides always say to find where the nexus is and my nexus never shows up. If it was drivers it would still charge when its on. So how can drivers cause the tablet not to charge from the ac adapter?
Try Wugfresh's program. I had issues w/o it.

Thats the toolkit I have installed. Its also the "guide" I am following when it comes to drivers. I tried to see if I could make the nexus connect to the pc while in fastboot and nothing happened then either. Everything he says to do involves the PC actually seeing the nexus :/
Ive changed it from mtp to ptp, toggled debugging, went to different back ups, flashed a new rom, etc etc. I really feel like Ive tried just about everything. Someone mentioned in one thread about some specific code in the nexus being wrong and possibly changing it could fix it but I do not know how I would go about doing that.
I also originally used the Wugfresh toolkit and had problems getting the drivers installed properly on Win7-64. Ultimately, I think I installed pda.net on my computer and on the N7 and was able to connect after that. Haven't had a problem connecting since. Re-read some of the Wugfresh posts about driver problems. You should be able to get it sorted out.

I sent you a PM but I really dont think this is an issue with drivers. I have been able to connect the N7 to my PC perfectly before the other day. Never a problem at all. Now I have uninstalled/reinstalled the drivers as best as I could (currently I have the samsung drivers because they are the only ones that will install without having to verify that the phone is connected via ADB and I had them left over from my Fiance's GNex so they have been here all along when the N7 was actually connecting).
The N7 is not connecting to the PC at all. It does not show up in device manager. You cannot make an ADB connection to it. It has already been rooted and it is running the latest version of Paranoid Android. On top of that the AC adapters will not charge the N7 while it is turned on. Its like the N7 turns away any usb connection other than a USB-OTG cable while it is on.
Also I really do appreciate the help. This has just been really frustrating for me.
Hello,
Since yesterday, I have exactly same issue with my Nexus 7 3g.
Everything is working perfectly but computer doesn't see Nexus at all (nothig works Bootloader, ADB, MTP,PTP).
Charging is fine (looks like), USB HDDs, pendrives are working as before.
Reinstaling drivers, changing to PTP, switchin on/off USB debugging didn't help.
Checked : other Nexus connects to the computer without problems, so its not drivers issue.
I assume it happened after Nexus was connected to my car charger.
Does anybody have solution/fix for that ?
Unfortunately my Nexus comes from USA, can I RMA it in Europe ?
I feel badly for everyone having these issues. I feel very lucky I'm not having them. It sounds as if the microusb port may have been altered/damaged by certain kinds of connections, like the battery pack or car charger. I don't know why this would happen and my own car charger (Moto oem for my Bionic) has worked fine on the N7. I did pick up the usb cable attached to my pc one day and created a static shock to the connector. Since then, that bank of 4 usb ports will not show either my N7 or bionic, but my usb mouse, keyboard, and printer work with them. The other bank still works, as does the pci port expansion card and my front ports. If I do have a glitch with the pc connection, I restart both the computer and the N7 and then it works. Sorry I don't have a solution.
I also assumed a damaged/fried USB post on the Nexus 7. There are 2 data lines and 2 power lines in the charging socket I think. If the power lines are damaged, usb otg may still be working. Its also tying in with the use of a power pack.

Have you tried switching between MTP and PTP and seeing if that works? If I used the PTP setting for the USB it shows up, I can then move files onto the PICTURE folder and once there move to another folder while using the Nexus.

Wow or strange should be more of the reply. I have done this before but it never worked. Thanks for the help. For anyone else needing help here is what I did. First opened the Nexus Tool Kit, then Full Driver Installation Guide, launched USBDeview, then - In particular look for devices with Vendor ID - "18d1" or... "04e8" - Simply right click these devices, and select the option to: - "Uninstall Selected Devices", final step unplugged the device and plugged it back in and it worked. Also MTP enabled USB Debug unchecked. Thanks again...
-AkWingnut
Tried this and haven't had any luck so far. I'm going to try pdanet or samsung drivers again later today and post results.

Have exactly the same trouble. I'm with you guys. USB host works, no reaction in device manager. Did your nexus was unlocked? Rooted?

Bump!
I'm experiencing similar issues with my Nexus 5. This is the only thead I can find that has a similar problem. My Nexus 5 worked on SlimKat, I flashed stock L Preview, now my device won't charge when it is powered into the OS. Bootloader works fine and charges when turned off. I upgraded to 5.0 which came out today (Yay!) and the problem persists.
Have any of you lads or ladies had any updates?

In my case it was a hardware trouble. Fixed by motherboard replacing in official service centre.
I'm pretty stumped with this one so I'm throwing it out there to see if you lot have any ideas.
I have a Nexus 6p that can charge, however it is not recognized whatsoever by the computer. No notification sound when I plug it in (it just starts charging).
When in bootloader it says "connect usb data cable", and there are no adb devices found.
I tried reinstalling drivers a bunch of times to no avail, and tried on another computer.
Fairly confident, I ordered a new USB board. I've now swapped it out, and plugged it back in to the computer, and low and behold the issue is still the same.
I'm guessing there is something wrong on the motherboard. Any ideas? Did I miss something obvious?
EDIT: I've tried multiple cables, and usb ports. ADB works fine with my nexus 5x.
what OS are you running on your computer?
what version of android?
when you plug it in, do you get any options to choose from on the notification shade? (is USB debugging turned on in developer options?)
I am having the exact same issue. I am trying to back everything up before installing Nougat but I cant get the phone to be recognized by the PC. I get the pop up in the notification bar and can select from charging, MTP, PTP, etc, but I can not see anything on the computer. Absolutely nothing shows up in device manager.
I have tried reinstalling drivers and going through all steps on Wug's toolkit but nothing works. I can however connect to my wife's laptop with no issue, so it is not the phone. I installed all drivers and used my PC to root originally, so there has to be something that happened since February. Both PCs are running windows 10 and I tried my phone on both Pure Nexus 6.0.1 and an old stock 6.0.0 backup and have the exact same issue.
I have Googled around and cant really find any answers. I am pretty sure it is something in Windows that can likely be fixed with a reinstall, but that is something I really dont want/have time to do because I have a ton of programs and games setup on 3 seperate drives that would take quite a while to reinstall. I am really hoping someone has been able to solve this problem in the past.
Good luck. I will be steadily trying to get mine to work and I will post back if I make any progress at all. I will also be watching this thread to see if anyone has suggestions.
I just got mine working. What I ended up having to do was update the firmware for my Asmedia USB 3.1 controller. I did that and plugged my phone in and it worked perfectly. Look on your motherboard/PC manufacturer's website and see if there is any firmware or drivers that pertain to USB that can be updated. Good luck, I really hope you figure it out because I know it annoyed the hell out of me.

Windows 10 LTSB
Android 6.something was on it. But I did a bad flash on both system AND recovery, so I need to flash over ADB.
There are no options since I cannot access android.

So it sounds like a driver issue. Have you tried reinstalling drivers? maybe try something like Wug's toolkit.

Pretty sure drivers are fine. I can ADB into other phones no problem. I have also tried on another computer and the issue is the same.
I have the exact same issue as OP. Everyone keeps saying it's a Windows driver issue, but how can it be when Windows doesn't even detect a USB device being plugged in?
---------- Post added at 12:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:49 AM ----------
I noticed something and wanted to see if you have the same issue. In the Battery settings menu, when you plug your phone into the USB port, does it say Charging over USB and then switch to Charging on AC 5 seconds later? My Nexus 4 always stays as Charging over USB so I think there is something to this.
Are you connecting via USB-C to USB A (USB 2.0)? Some older computers cannot handle it without a proper driver update. Try using a USB-C to micro USB adapter

I can understand why people will be quick to suggest that given that 9/10 cases are this issue. However as I already stated, I've tried multiple cables, ports, drivers, computers, phones. And other phones work fine, just not this 1 device. So as far as I'm concerned, there is almost certainly nothing wrong on the computer side.

I've tried my motherboards USB2.0, 3.0, and USB C port.
I primarily use my USBC->USBC cable without the need for any adapters. It works fine with my Nexus 5x. When I plug in my 6p, it starts charging, however windows does not even recognize anything has been connected.

Can you go into Settings - Battery and then plug in your USB cable. Does it say Charging over USB and does it switch to Charging on AC?

I don't have a working system boot atm, or a working recovery partition. I need to flash both. This is in no way connected to the major issue. The issue was around for a long while before I did a bad flash. Now I need to connect via bootloader to reflash recovery and install a working system; so I'm forced to address this problem now.

Good luck. I'm at the point where I need to send my device to Huawei. I hope the warranty can cover this bad USB issue.
Huawei wanted to charge me almost $300usd because I unlocked my bootloader.

Normally when you unlock your bootloader you void your warranty. It's the price we pay for custom romming etc.
Did you by any chance buy a second hand device? I've never heard of phones coming unlocked by default.

Hello, today I was trying to use my headphones but my phone wouldn't output anything to them, I have two adapters so I decided to try the other one and that didn't work, and also when I try to use YouTube it is incredibly slow with the adapter plugged in. And also my phone is rooted with elemental X kernel installed
Yeah the official one has a dac built in where alot of third party dongles and even Moto's don't.
I'm going under the assumption that this isn't an issue that can be fixed through software. If not and someone has found a fix other than going out and buying a new adapter please bless us with your solution.
Here is what I did, I unrooted my phone and that seemed to work

Yes I was experiencing other problems with root so I decided to unroot and that worked
I had some issues with mine slowing the device down initially, but then it informed me that an update for the dongle was available, and everything's been fine since. Update installed fine on a rooted phone.

I'm having the same issue and can't fix it. I'm on Android p beta.
Hey guys. So I recently bought the essential earphones (type c) and they work pretty good on every other phone. They do not work on my essential phone, I've tried everything (safe mode, I messed around with the usb settings, I cleaned the port). Is there anything else I can do??
They work for me.

I see. I'm not surprised, I've had something sound like it "caught" a couple of times when connecting, sounded like it caught on one of the usb contacts. Now I'm always very careful to put it in straight as the the port they have used doesn't have an internal guide like Samsung phones that force the connector to be straight before it meets the internal plns. Not a good component choice, I think. Hope you get it working
I just purchased a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado and it has the refresh interior. This includes a 14.1" android tablet as the radio.
This device is running Android 10. I have enabled developer settings, but can't seem to get any devices to pick it up in adb mode.
I've tried with my phone (wireless) and with my computer (wired).
I'm trying to side load some applications to it.
Can some one help me in this forum?
Thanks in advance

Unfortunately not. I've never had any issues doing this with android devices. Any advice would be appreciated

I was really hoping to be able to sideload some basic apps since this is more or less an Android tablet in the truck.

Which android stick did you end up going with? Also does it work in full screen?
I tried one from Amazon but it only works through apple carplay so it only shows on 2/3 of the display.

Hey, this is kind of a stupid question but.....along similar kinda thought, when I connect my phone via USB to my car, is there a way I could see and change the stock parameters in the sound system to something more like my liking. I use wavelet with my phone and when I plug in with USB in the car to drive even the car is effected. Without the wavelet it doesn't sound the same. I'm wanting to see if I can somehow do that so I don't gotta plug my phone in with wavelet. Cause sometimes wavelet acts funny.

I am using the M-Stick MG-S01 off Amazon.
It don't show the whole screen but most. It's also not the greatest, but it works for the most part. Which one are you using?
I was able to get ADB to recognize this system. However I get the error from android ADB tools "The Secure ADB mode is enabled. Please use the GM Secure ADB Client tool to authenticate first." I am looking for a way around this. Any ideas?
Also note I have firefox and airscreen(airplay mirroring) working in the GM emulator so if only ADB worked we could be having so much fun.

I also have a refresh Silverado and just tried a CarPlay box, how did you get it to go almost full screen? Mine still shows the side scroll menu with the clock and media player
I'm assuming you know how to activate developer mode by going
Touch "Settings"->"About"->"Build number"->then tap the white file name several times and it will count down how many taps it takes to enable it.
Still trying to figure out how to sideload apps if anyone has made any progress.
