Manual switch ptp / mtp - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

When I first had my GN I was able to get to the 'usb connection to computer' options menu and switch between mtp and ptp via the settings button, without the phone being connected to a computer.
Now it comes up automatically when the phone is connected to a computer but I can't find it otherwise ???
Did one of the updates remove this option? If not can someone please tell me where it's gone!

Settings-> storage-> menu button->
That's where it is on mine.

Problem with USB connection

My phone is always loosing connection USB connection to my PC after 3 or 4 times...then I need to reinstall the drivers. My PC finds the phone but the "USB connection" pop up on the phone doesn't appear...it's like that for a few weeks now, before that it always workd fine...
PC is Windows 7. Phone is HTC desire. "Question" is enabled, standard is "just loading". I changed the USUB cable already, that was not the fault. PC is recognizing the HTC Desire as "Android Phone", that works ALWAYS. I just can't access the SD-Card from my phone because the phone pop up is missing. Setting the "mount as HDD" doesn't help either. The phone is loading though.
In Windows 7 have you tried locating the SD Card (usually F:/ Drive) in Windows Explorer? Sometimes, depending on settings, the pop up window may not appear (you may have accidentally selected a default action for it, for example).
EDITED: I'm guessing you have debugging selected if the PC is recognising the phone so, just a thought, have you tried putting the SD Card in a reader to see if the PC can recognise it at all?
No, debugging is not activated. With "pop up" I was referring to the missing "pop up" (in the status bar) on the phone, not in the PC, sorry for that. I just found something out however: Plugged in the phone, same as ever, it's loading but no USB connection detected on the phone side. Restarted the phone WHILE it's still plugged in and directly after the restart the "ask me" notification pops up. Mounted the SD card and it works...
Activate usb debugging.
Swyped from Oxygen with Transparent XDA App
I did. Currently it's working, but that's just a workaround, not a fix, isn't it?

There is no disadvantage in activating usb debugging (At least, I do not know anyone), so I think one could call it a "fix".
It's not a fix because it's not working anymore...again! It shows USB DEBUGGING CONNECTED in the status bar but the "ask me" notification isn't coming so I can't mount it as HDD. Man, that's getting real annyoing...
After a restart of the phone while it's connected it's working again..."ask me" popping up right after launch. -.-

[Q] Disable MTP?

Hi,
is it possible to disable the MTP connections automatically established when pluging the Nexus in?
I wouldn't want a public computer I might connect my Nexus to for charging to be able to read my storage.
I know I can switch it to camera, but that's just a workaround. With "normal" Android devices (with an sd-card), you always need to hit "enable usb mass storage", it would be nice if there were some option like that in the Nexus.

Thanks!
How does that affect the MTP, though? Still possible? How about adb or any other kind of connectivity?

[Q] No option for usb(mtp or ptp)

When I plugin the S3 (Sprint non rooted) I no longer get the option for mtp or ptp. I suspect it may have happened after updating to 4.1.2. Ive tried multiple pcs and usb cables. To make it even worse, it works on my note 2 for sprint. Any help is something
I don't have my phone hooked up to my computer at the moment, so this might be a little vague.
I've had this happen a number of times. Plug your phone into the computer via USB and go into the Windows Device Manager (assuming you're running Windows) and uninstall the driver for your phone. Look for something like "Samsung Android Phone" or something like that.
If there is an option to delete the driver DO NOT delete it, since we want don't want to remove it from the computer.
After it's uninstalled, unplug your phone from USB and then plug it in again. Windows should do its automatic driver thing, and hopefully you'll be back in business.
Hopefully this helps. Good luck!
Also make sure you turn usb debugging off prior to connecting the phone.

If you have drivers installed and is still not working go to your dialer and do ##diag# click cdma then use setting make sure it's set to mtp + adb

This is what it should look like after you hit "Qualcomm USB setting"
The Thanks button is just to avoid "THANKS" posts in threads. Don't defeat the purpose of why it was introduced.

Can't see any files or folders in Windows 10 when connected via USB

This was working before update to Android 6.0. Would appreciate any assistance on this as I really need to copy files to my device.
Thanks.
Pull down notification shade, select the notification for USB options and select MTP.
There was no USB notification. Tried reinstalling USB drivers. Didn't work. In the end I fixed it by going into Developer Options. Setting USB mode to charge only. And then switching it back to MTP.
Sometimes this happens to me, but a refresh does the job. It always shows up eventually.

Can´t change back to MTP

Ok, so I had some trouble connecting my LG G4 to my computer and in turn created even more trouble.
Whenever I plugged the phone in the computer a push notification would appear, where I could chose between MTP and just charge and a third option to transfer pictures.
I changed the phone from MTP mode to the transfer pictures option to see if it would work.
However, now the phone is set to that mode and when I plug it in the push notification won´t appear any more.
The solution I found on the internet was to go to "storage" in settings and change it there but the option does not exist. I found another thread in the net where some people have this problem but no solution was provided.
How on earth do I get my phone back in MTP mode?
God damn I hate this phone right now. My Samsung galaxy I would plug in and could access the internal storage and DONE. But yeah, really great needing 10 billion drivers and programs and have settings broken instead, what an upgrade. :silly:
