cant transfer pictures to computer?

I tried to connect my nexus 4 to my PC , but it would not recognize it under my computer like it should so I could drag and drop. I tried mounting it as MTP and PTP and neither would be recognised.
I ended up transferring my pictures using adb, but I don't know why it didn't work the standard way.
Anyone have any ideas?

Have you tried using drop box? It's really simple and automatic. Just set it to upload only on Wi-Fi

I've used it before but I want to know why the nexus 4 was not recognised by my computer

Is Android debugging on?

Is it having trouble with installing the MTP driver ? Try turning off USB debugging, I couldn't get MTP to work until I did that.

Maybe you've got the same problem that we have here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2005437
Maybe you try:
A different USB port
A different USB cable
Uninstall existing drivers + installing the drivers again
A different computer
And if all that didn't help you can join us in the above mentioned thread. We don't have a solution yet but maybe we can draw some attention to the issue.

All the driver seem to be fine and the nexus 4 is recognised via adb. It used to work before so I don't what's wrong.
Edit: yes USB debugging was on

Ok, but that's actually good! What happens if you plug it into a different usb port?

It says your device could be faster with USB 2.0 and then it is not recognised.

Now that's really odd. Have you tried a different USB cable?

I'm using the stock lg cable. I'll try with my nexus 7 cable.
Edit with my nexus 7 cable it says connected by the windows 7 notification, but when I check in computer it does not show anything

But you have seen your N4 in the explorer before, right? I have seen my N4 on my GFs windows machine as Nexus 4, not as a storage device.

It shows up under devices and printers, but not under my computer
Edit:maybe it has to do with android 4.2 because I just plugged in a flash drive and it showed up under my computer

And what happens if you double-click it there? Can you get your pix then?
Edit: I didn't find my N4 as a storage device, so you can't find it as a letter in your explorer but a real device.

If I double click it it takes me to nexus 4 properties. My nexus 7 does not show up in my computer either that's what bled me to think it has to do with 4.2
Edit:nevrmind its not 4.2 because I just connected a lg motion which is running 4.0 and it does not show up either

Maybe someone with a win7 machine can chip in here, since I think it is a windows problem. I am on a linux laptop, so I can't really help you there. But good luck anyway!

Thanks for your help

By George, I fixed it I went into device manager I right clicked on SAMSUNG android phone then nexus 4 under that section, then I clicked update driver. Then I clicked on browse my computer for driver software after I clicked on let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer and I select mtp. The all of a sudden auto play came up with my device connected as a camera (ptp)
Now all my phones show up under my computer

MTP uses a completely different driver from ADB. So you can have one working but not the other.

Nexus 4 is not recognized by computer

Hello.
Three weeks ago my Nexus 4 is recognized by my three computers (work, home and friend) like a drive. Now it is not anymore recognized by friend 's computer: I hear the sound of connection but no change in file manager. However it works fine on two other computers (home and work). In addition the Nexus 4 of my friend is always recognized by these three computers.
I tried to install N4 drivers on Friend 's computer. No change, my Nexus 4 is not recognized by friend's computer. I tried the debug mode too. No change. And the nexus 4 of my friend works on the three comptuters. Very frustrating .
These two Nexus 4 is updated with 4.2.2, in stock rom, not rooted, 16Go, v11.
Does someone could help me to solve this problem without saving my data and then restoring to factory values?:highfive:
Thanks.

I forgot to write that i used only one usb wire on the same usb port. To be sure that the problem is not the wire or the usb plug.

Do you currently have USB Debugging turned on? Turn it off and see what happens...the reason I say is that my work PC can either see is as MTP with USB Debugging off or through adb with it on - not both.
My Windows 8 Pro laptop at home works fine for both at the same time...worth checking out

Maybe try to uninstall the driver using the device manager?

Thanks i will try your solutions tomorrow. But these solutions doesn't explain why one Nexus 4 works on the friend 's computer and the other Nexus 4 doesn t work: same wire and same usb plug.

I plugged the nexus on my computer. And I unistalled the driver of nexus in my device manager unplugged and plugged again the nexus. And then let windows recognize the nexus and install his own compatible driver. Thanks nhatters.
The problem was that for run application named carbon I had to install in computer first the adb driver and carbon for computer. And this driver does not recognize my nexus which have not carbon (for mobile install).

i had the same problem few minutes ago .. i just turned USB Debugging on and voila the PC detected my nexus 4.

Aha i had the same problem i just lowered the notification shade selected usb device n selected camera option and reverted back to the media transfer and that fixed it

I am having the same issue but nothing seems to work and I dont even hear the connection sound in windows. I've tried uninstalling and installing drivers with sdk, device manager, and the other thing in windows which is callew dew I think and nothing no success, also I have tried to disable usb sebugging and mtf media storage and nothing. Is the only thing left to is buy a new micro usb cable?

Same problem for me on Windows 7. I have tried everything - different cables, different ports, enable/disable USB debugging. Even uninstalled drivers etc. It is getting detected on Windblows and is showing up in the taskbar as an USB device with a green mark. But it is not showing up as a drive or the MTP device. Frustrating to no end!

im gonna try to research in microsoft website which drivers are not originally installed in my computer and delete all the wird ones maybe some other driver from another hardeare like another cell phone or something is interfering. Hope I dont delete something that will make my computer not work right.

Same here, I can no longer transfer any files on to my Nexus 4 anymore. I'm using a PC and it no longer reads it. Only fast boot and adb on recovery works.

It's not the same because I've tried adb and nothing. Your problem can be fixed by modifying google drivers. In the other hand I tried a friends nokia phone with same usb cable and started installing drivers right away.. Mine does nothing, not even a connection sound just charging. so It's not the cable. I'm starting to think the micro usb port got damaged or something really wrong with the rom but still I've tried to see if reseting the phone works and nothing.

Seems like its an issue with 4.2.2. Since last week my N4 was acting very strange. when I connect to my pc; It would connect and disconnect every second. After checking in Device Manager; my Nexus 4 was listed under SAMSUNG Android Phone . I end up uninstalling it (plus check delete driver software). Then I rebooted my computer. It reinstalled the driver and now its working. Thought my wire was broke.

This worked for me, it shall work for everyone else
Open the start menu and type in device manager and click on it, it should npbringba window up. Now at the stop it should say android device or something similar, drop down that section and right click to delete "Google ADB Interface" which was for me should be for you also. After make sure you check the box in the confirmation to delete the driver. Reboot your PC plug in your device and enjoy!!!

Nexus 6p not detected by PC

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.

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.

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.

PC sees phone in Photo transfer but not File transfer

Just recently my windows 10 PC won't recognize my V20 for file transfer. I tried different cables and different ports. It will alow all the other connection options. It seems very strange to me. It doesn't seem like a driver issue if I can transfer photos. Any one experienced this issue?

6t won't connect to Windows 10 PC

I'm at a complete loss here guys, hate to even ask this. So I tried to connect my 6t to my Windows 10 PC and the PC won't even RECOGNIZE that anything was plugged in! No sound and not even an entry in device manager. I even went as far as to reinstall Windows 10 and no dice. I installed the One plus driver from here on XDA and they are unsigned drivers, so I disabled driver signature enforcement and the drivers are now on my PC, but with the PC not even noticing something was plugged in it's no use.
Some info.
Using the red USB C cable that came with the device.
Plugging it into a USB 3.0 port on my PC.
Installed the OnePlus driver with enforcement disabled.
More info? Let me know! I'm lost here.

Try a different cable. I come from the land of pixels where you'd be surprised by the amount of headaches cables have caused. If that's doesn't work I'd be stumped as well

You have to enable USB debugging and change USB configuration to transfer data..

Just ruling out all possibilities (have run into this myself on other phones) :
Have you tried another port on you PC?
FWIW,I'm using a cable from either an LG or Samsung & that's working for me.
The device is seen & I got the pop-up on the phone after toggling the associated USB options in Dev Options on the phone.
Was able to execute ADB commands for an Immersive Mode app & to use the no-root ADB Uninstall commands.

I just used my og pixel xl type c cable and it instantly installed the drivers and recognized the phone

Front ports of PC chassis sometimes give too little power so try an usb port on back. try with other pc as it might be problem with your pc

Alright, so I tried different ports on my PC both front and back, no usb input sound or anything. I'm wondering if the USB C cable that comes in the box of the 6t just isn't a data cable? I have developer options enabled, adb debugging, and have the default USB mode set to MTP. Nothing still. I wonder why. Have you tried connecting your 6t with the included cable? Just to rule out if it IS a data cable or not. Thanks!

Tried some ports on the back that are part of my motherboard, same issue. No sound and no entry in device manager. No notification on my 6t either. The phone CHARGES, but nothing more.

Is there a possibility to try on another computer? Just to rule out that the problem isn't in the computer itself...

I've just factory reset my 6T and plugged it into a USB 2 port on the front of my PC, using the red cable that came with the phone, and it immediately recognised it. You clearly have an issue but we can rule out it being a general issue.

just checking. you say it charges, that was the default setting on mine after i enabled usb debugging. i opened notifications on my phone and the was a small one saying phone charging, when i clicked on it i got an options page for usb preferences and then switched to file transfer. works fine now.

are you in fastboot mode on the phone? are you just running the phone within osygenOS?

I'm going to say damaged cable.
Try any other device that you can plug it into. If it still doesn't work it's the cable. If you change cable and still a problem I'd RMA the device maybe faulty port on phone. Device is too new to be playing games like this. Get a new one.

I just connected my, to windows 10 laptop after seeing this post. No driver installed, red cable that came with phone, USB 3 Port in the laptop. Nothing was needed to do for it to be recognized. Worked just like that.
Albeit I enabled USB debugging in developer option beforehand and changed the option to file transfer.

Just wanted to show the settings
