Hi everyone,
My Nexus 7 at present isn't getting recognised when connected to a PC via USB. This was working the other week (the drivers were installed the first time I connected it via USB), but now when I connect it to a PC via USB the device isn't recognised by the PC.
I have tried this on multiple PC's and the same thing happens on all of them, so it must be something with the Nexus 7 that is causing the problem.
If I go into Device Manager on any of the PC's, with the Nexus 7 connected via USB it doesn't appear anywhere, so I can't go down the route of even updating the USB drivers as suggested for some similar issues on other threads.
I have even installed the Android SDK and installed the Windows USB driver package, but that hasn't done the trick either.
I have also tried installing the Microsoft MTP porting kit, but again this made no difference and the same can be said by switching between MTP and PTP mode and neither have made a difference. I don't have USB debugging enabled, enabling it doesn't make a difference either.
I can connect my Nexus S phone via USB without issue to any of the PC's I've tested the Nexus 7 on, which further backs my thinking of the issue being with the Nexus 7.
I'm running out of ideas, so thought I would throw it out there to see if anyone has any other suggestions before I do a factory reset on the Nexus 7.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Further to this I have done a factory reset, which has made no difference.
Any ideas other than going back to Google or Asus?
my N7 has trouble being recognized by different PCs. it is hit and miss. will your N7 charge when it's connected to a PC that doesn't recognize it? my N7 does not show the charging symbol on screen, but the battery percentage increases over time.
Also try a different cable just in case.

The N7 shows as charging when the USB cable is connected.

I've tried different cables, which makes no difference.
It's looking like a hardware fault of some sort as a factory reset made no difference. Think I will have no option to go back to Google/Asus

Try connecting it as a PTP device rather than MTP.. (that sometimes works for me when I am trying to force it to pick up the ADB device and install driver etc). If it detects it as PTP change it back (to MTP), and hopefully it will be OK.

I had already tried that, makes no difference unfortunately.
I had the same problem.
I knew it was driver issue but where to find the driver?? Looked on Asus' site and apparently the Nexus 7 is the Asus unwanted step-child. Not a mention of it there.
After a lot of looking and a lot of cursing,I found the answer! (It was the cursing that helped!) Install Windows Media Player v13. The needed driver is included. After a reboot, I was able to see the Nexus 7 on my PC and (more importantly) able to transfer files to it!
What happened
I have had the same problem with it not connecting. My n7 does charge when I plug it in but does not show up in my computer when i plug it in via usb. I have tried switching it to PTP mode but it does not find the device for what I'm doing(unlocking boot loader for my nexus 7) I hope someone can help greatly appreciated.

Hi, my computer came with Windows Media Player on it. It does not specify the version. I cannot find Windows Media Player v13 anywhere. Would someone please provide a link if possible. Thank You So Much!
USB Connection To PC Not Detected
Having the same issue here. These two guys as well http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1851868&highlight=usb+connected Did you also use a car charger? Don't know when it happened for me, but sometime between it last working and testing car chargers it stopped working. Same thing for me as one of the posters says, USB-OTG works, so I would think it's not a physical issue, but how to reset it. Dunno, Any help would be appreciated.
ADB, Fastboot, or USB Connected device in Windows does not work. Computer doesn't even detect, no USB connect sound.
UPDATE:
Installed Glazed Jellybean v.1.1.2 thinking it might clearup the issues with detection of USB and presenting it to the PC. Still same results, USB data connectivity is missing somehow. Just might be some sort of physical damage. Kernel was updated as well to Linaro Motley Kernel v1.1.1.
Help!
I had this happen after using a car charger from amazon. I actually really believe that the charger is the problem, as I had originally got the charger for my recently departed tf101, and after using the charger on that, same problem as what's happening with my n7. Sure, there's workarounds, but it'd be nice to connect to pc for faster transfers.

Same As Above... This sucks.
I am having the exact same problems listed previously & I've tried almost all the same fix attempts with no luck. Like a couple others, mine worked out of the box, then I charged it in my car (using the Nexus 7 cable plugged in to a USB cigarette lighter adapter)... Now, nothing but the indication on the Nexus that it's charging. No indication at all that the computer is even aware a device is plugged in to it. Has anyone found anything? Please, Lord, say it's so!!
I found a fix
Whether this will work for everyone I am not sure.
I took the USB from the hub I was using & plugged it into one of the front ports on the actual tower unit. The drivers were reinstalled and everything is working again.
It may be the Nexus didn't like the hub or it may be that particular USB port threw a wobbler.

Thanks, but I've plugged my N7 in to 15+ usb ports on 3 different PCs & haven't gotten anywhere. No changes.
I did call ASUS support yesterday & was told by the tech support person that they were working on a "PC SYNC" software for the N7, but did not have a release date for it yet. I'm not very optimistic. The tech sounded like she could have been reading from a script. Didn't sound as if she knew what she was talking about. I may take my N7 back & get a replacement.

Hey, do you remember what charger you used? I tried two from Amazon, so I can't tell which one gave me the problems. Here they are:
Arcadia Rapiduo, 10W 5V/2A Dual Port high-speed USB car charger w/ Free Full Speed Micro-USB Charging Cable (IMP80C)
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00845NI8E/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i01
and
PowerGen Dual USB Port 2A 10w (fast) Heavy Duty Ouput Car Charger - White
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00622AG6S/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00
Hell, if there are several of us that have damaged devices from these chargers maybe Amazon would help us to get our Nexus replaced.

It was this one at first, then I complained it didn't work, and they sent one that could've come from their own car, the way it looked.
And yes, I know it says "for Asus tf101".
Perhaps there's a "safety switch" of some sort, written into the os, that "shuts down" the ability to communicate through usb after using these car chargers? That may sound stupid, i know.
I don't think it's a pc problem, since the n7 still charges when connected, and also, because this has happened twice to me, with both my tf101 and my n7,directly after using these car chargers.
And, for some reason, I don't believe it has caused hardware damage to the n7. I kind of believe what I said in the first paragraph. Maybe this will happen to a dev, and they will look into the problem.
I suppose rma is an option, but patience is not my strong point.

I have 3 computers and 2 Nexus 7 in household, and one N7 has no problem being recognized by computers and the second N7 wont connect as a MTP device at all, on any computer, with many different cable and port combos. The second N7 was bought just a few days ago and I was not going to root and leave a virgin device, so it was essential to have access to sdcard with computer as storage device. Looks like I am taking it back for replacement...which is a shame because other than usb problem the second N7 was a perfect C70...my first N7 C70 has a minor screen lift, and after comparing the two tabs side by side, a slightly more washed out display.

This was my thoughts as well, thought some of the system files were altered in someway by either that process or my installing usb related apps. USB OTG and USB monitoring apps specifically. However, I decided to try an load Glazed Jelly Bean hoping it would resolve this issue by rewriting the system files, but it was still broken. This has now changed from a connectivity issue to a totally dead unit for me, it slowly started refusing to give a full charge and now not even a response while plugged into an AC Charger.

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.

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.

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 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.

Is it possible to connect my PH-1 to a usb-c monitor ?
my macbook pro does just this. Or does the usb-c of the PH-1 have other requirements?
It's supposed to work and supports USB-C Display Port video out. I can't get it to work, but Essential Support claims it does work, took a picture as proof using the same adapter I tried with. Yet, for some reason, I can't get it to work... Even after a factory reset, no root, full stock.
If you're having issues, please let support know also. They may have some issues going on they're not aware of.

It works for me.
I'm using this adapter -> https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MYUCWOK/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It works with my Lenovo ThinkVision LT1423p. But only with the latest DisplayLink drivers and not those from Lenovo.
However the touch screen is severely miscalibrated...

Am I just doing it wrong? Is this supposed to work with any HDMI-capable TV or does it need to support Displayport or have something special? I've tried connecting my adapter to 4 TVs, each with different HDMI cables, and even tried a couple of other HDMI cables on top of that. The TV detects no signal. I also tried 2 desktop monitors via HDMI -- nothing.
The kicker -- Essential support shared a photo proving it works with the adapter I own. I just don't get it... Only thought is perhaps an unlocked bootloader breaks this for some reason since I tried everything else (factory reset, no root, full stock, reflash system images, etc.)
I am using this monitor: lg-27MD5KA-B-5k-uhd-led-monitor
so i don't need a dongle, because it is usb c to usb c
are there any settings in android that need to be turned on?
Hi,
I would want to turn my old OnePlus 5 phone into an octoprint/home assistant server. I only have one issue with it. It doesn't seem to support OTG and charging at the same time. I think is a stock kernel-related limitation. Is there anyone who knows how to overcome this issue?
Thanks a lot in advance!

Hello, there are cables available on Amazon for this purpose. You have such a cable?

Well I've tried this USB dongle from Macally: https://macally-europe.com/uc3hub3gbc
No luck so far. So if I plug the charger into a dongle it charges but as soon as I plugin for example my 3D printer Oneplus 5 cuts the charging off. I read from Oneplus forums that kernel might not support it but there's might be some custom kernels out there to support this way of use.
I have the same challenge - however I have tried this OTG - https://smile.amazon.com/MOSWAG-Adapter-Splitter-Compatible-Chromecast/dp/B08Y6VQN99 and if power is connected, it will never find whatever is attached to the USB A connector. I have been able to load Octaprint, but it will chew threw the battery in about 2 hours if it is not charging.

I had the same question around 4 years ago. See this thread here.
Unfortunately, it does not seem to be possible. There are two limitations:
Kernel limitations
DisplayLink - which only works 'one way' (it won't permit charging while sending video data over the cable)

Did you ever find a solution, perhaps a custom kernel that enables OTG plus charge? Thanks.
