[Q] Connection with PC

Does anyone know if the microSD and/or USB Flash drives show up as USB drives on PC? Do the standard Android development tools connect-up through the USB and 'just work' like they do for my phone? I assume that the miniUSB plug is the one that connects to your PC since the other are listed as 'Host' on the Notion Ink Tech specs page.
you would connect to computer with the miniusb, the microsd would mount to computer just as it would with a phone. that would be nice if a usb flash drive did to but i'm not sure about that.

USB-to-USB cable

I've read that a full USB-to-USB cable is also included in the Elocity A7 box.
I never received a full USB-to-USB cable.
How can I get the full USB-to-USB cable?
P.S. Can the A7 be connected to my computer via this USB-to-USB cable so I can see the files on the A7?
Similar to connecting a flash drive and seeing the files that are on the flash drive in the computer's Windows Explorer.
Check out this app. If you have the a7 on a wifi network. Just be careful if you set it up to access files in the system area.

They didn't come with a USB cable. Default USB mode is host, not client. It is not going to be able to be used as a thumb drive (can probably be done if switched to client mode, but by someone with much more experiance, not trying to be rude just honest)

USB Fileshare cable w/usb hub

Has anyone tried this cable between a windows pc and their tablet?

It's supposed to let you copy files back and forth between PC's and also sports a usb hub.
Is it USB to USB or MicroUSB to USB ??? ( website doesn't say )
I thought we could only connect to PC through the MicroUSB port ?
First it's just a usb cable with the data+ and data- leads swapped (oh, and a hub built into it)
Second, the A500 has the mini-usb, why do you need the full usb to exchange data? The mini works fine, and I can access the full usb as a second removable drive (from the PC, I mean)

Yes bro you can use the same USB cable to connect your phone to PC or laptop and transfer the files photos and videos between them. Your yureka will be visible in Computer as media player device or either as a phone depending on the settings you have selected on your phone. settings while connecting to PC. You can always change the mode from notification area visible on the top of your phone which is called status bar. As far as OTG cable is concerned that is a different cable which allows you to connect any flash drive to your phone and allow you to copy paste or read write the content of the flash drive or pendrive on your smartphone.

USB connection not detected by Windows 10

Can anyone suggest how to make windows 10 recognize the phone when connected via USB cable?

Which cable are you using for connection to the computer? the cable that comes with the phone is for charging only, you'll need a data cable for connection.
Some users have reported issues when flashing or sideloading using a USB 2.0 cable. The cable included with PH-1 is USB 2.0 and is primarily intended for charging. If you're flashing or sideloading PH-1, we recommend using a high-quality, spec-compliant USB 3.0 (or higher) cable.
ive used both 2.0 and 3.0, but never the 3.1 USB C style. never had an issue, but some of the cables look premium and are cheap crap that connect and disconnect on a whim because the pins arent contacting unless the cable is perfectly straight
I'm using this cable: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N5KL10L/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It is supposed to be a data cable and looks pretty decent.
Are any special drivers required ? ( I have installed the USB driver found on the Essential support page but no dice)
I have those same cables, they are a bit touchy when it comes to staying connected especially in a USB 2.0 port. Make sure you're using a 3.0 port and once it connects, don't move it much. Not a great solution I know but what can you do.
I tend to leave Device Manager open when I install new hardware. It often helps understand the sequence of things. Do you hear the Windows Device Connected Sound? If nothing is showing up there, it's the USB cable
Well.. I got my phone last Wednesday and I just got the issue when I got USB3.0 to USB C cable last Friday. (my main PCs do not have USB-C port)
The symptom is;
connecting USB cable and change connection mode to "file transfer" or MTP, it looked going to connect, but actually failed or disconnected when I tried browse the device or copy files.
After few research, I could resolve the issue.
Here are the what I did.
First, I have to download and install USB driver from Essential home page. (check "Essential Developers" page. I cannot add link here yet because I'm newbie here.)
Second, Now I got connection, but still the connection was unstable especially when I copied big files (about 200~300MB or more). The issue could be resolved after turning on "Disable USB audio routing" option in "Developer Options". (You should enable the "Developer Options" first)
Third, Now I have no problem on Windows PC connection, but I got a problem with Ubuntu 16.04. And I have found the it happens only when I connect it via USB hub. After connecting to PC directly, the issue has gone.
I have no problem on USB connection with my PCs now.
