[Q] USB Debugging - Cyanogenmod

is there anyway to enable usb debugging within the cyanogenmod?
I had to turn in off for the USB storage to work/connect, and now I don't see an option within the cyanogenmod that lets me turn it back on.
thanks.

Settings .... applications ... development .... should be there.

yo, thanks. That was a pretty easy.
Is it normal to have to turn of debugging in order to connect the phone as usb storage?

No problem, honestly I always have USB debugging checked by default and can't recall any issues. Sorry. Did you just start noticing it? Tried a reboot see if it works again? Can't say I've heard anything about leaving it checked. But I could have easily missed a post or two on it. Possible mount issue or maybe that doesn't apply here .. that first post is all I really have to offer ... sorry.

USB Issue?

Hopefully you guys can help me out. I'm suddenly having issues with my phone not being detected by my PCs when it is connected via USB.
When i plug my phone into my PC, i receive the error message: "UBS Device not Recognized One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and windowes does not recognize it." from my Windows XP PC. My Windows 7 PC is unable to recognize the device plugged in.
The strange thing is that even though my phone is not being recognized by the PCs, the phone will still charge.
The phone is not in USB Debugging Mode, and I've gone ahead and flashed 2 separate Kernals on my phone, but i still am having this issue. I have tested this out with 3 USB cables, on 3 separate computers (Work (win xp), Home (win7), and friends(win7)).
2 Days ago the USB worked fine for me as i was able to flash Franco Kernal and JB onto my Gnex, but suddenly it's not being recognized by my computer anymore.
Stumped.....Hoping that this isn't a hardware issue and something that i can fix without having any downtime away from my phone.
Any thoughts?

Try other USB port and other USB cable.

Sounds like you're missing some drivers... Remove the device completely in Device Manager & plug it again. For MTP, Windows 7 should find the drivers online by itself. If you need fastboot access, you'll have to download the seperate drivers for that. I'd recommend the GNex Toolkit in that case since it comes with the drivers included (you'll still need to install them of course )

Thx for the reply,
Yes, I have been using the GNEX tool kit, though not the 7.3 version that was released today. The 7.2 version was being used at home and on my work PC. I usually install the drivers from the toolkit then plug my phone in when done. The drivers have been recognizing my phone but not since 2 days go.
I'm currently trying to find the MTP checkbox in the phone Settings to double check if it's checked, but im having problems locating it.

Ah yes, that is where it was hiding....But unfortunately the checkbox is checked.
This seems like a hardware issue, but I'm not certain since the phone still recharges when plugged in

Could be... Charging doesn't necessary have anything to do with data transfer AFAIK... Do you see something in the Device Manager when you plug it? You might have to right click & do a re-scan to force detection.

Device Managers shows "Samsung Galaxy Nexus ADB Interface". The drivers look to be installed.
Also another odd thing, is that after i charge my phone and unplug it from my PC, it will continue to show that it is charging on the lock screen and in the top right corner of my phone. However if i go into Settings ---> about phone. It shows Battery Status : Not Charging.

You get that when the phone is running normally? I think for me that one only shows up when I put it in bootloader mode. In MTP mode it's just a media device like any other AFAIK... I'll check tomorrow when I'm back on my Windows laptop to be sure . Have you tried putting it in PTP mode? If so do you see the device as a camera or is it the same issue?

Sounds like a software bug, but I'll admit it is a bit strange considering your main issue...

Google galaxy nexus nfc battery. either the battery or the port is shot. People having issues.
And get your drivers from Samsung and Android sdk. Qbking77 has a YouTube video on how to set it up.
Android is upgrading...

Basically the way the Nexus One talked to other systems through USB is completely different from the way the Galaxy Nexus does. The GN uses a new protocol called MTP. Your car stereo probably can't read the files on your phone because it doesn't have MTP support.

Phantom Charging Issue
So I've gone ahead and Fiddled around with my phone for the past day trying to fix my USB issue, and I've discovered that this issue may not be due to USB issues.
Throughout the day when i was playing around and trying to fix my USB recognizing issue, it miraculously started working again. Now I am able to connect to my PCs and transfer the desired files.
Upon this issue being resolved, i noticed that periodically the screen would turn on, on it's own while being off in the locked state. I observed this issue to see what may be causing this, and it is turning on due to my phone thinking that i plugged my micro USB cable in to charge it. The charging indicator on the batter flips on, and even the USB Debugger / MTP Notification is present in the notification drawer.
Apparently this is a known issue with the Battery or charging port with Gnex's. (See below the 2 youtube clips for more details for problem/fix.)

I believe my warranty is void since this phone was purchased in a different country and has had the bootload locked/unlocked a million times. Anyone else have this problem that they have been able to fix manually? Or am I going to have to cross my fingers, ship my phone to get it fixed, and hope the post man doesn't f**k up?

Usb debugging keeps enabling itself each time usb connected

I updated to stock jellybean rom and now whenever i connect usb, usb debugging enables itself, i can turn it off but next time usb is connected there it is. Also if i turn it off in developer options then turn developer options off it re-enables again any ideas its starting to get a little annoying now, thinking of going back to ics as this mtp transfer takes the living p**s to transfer anything to or from the fone

Same here on T-mobile branded One x, really annoying when all you want is to plug in and charge!

My 1st port of call would be try a factory reset if haven't done already & don't forget to back anything important up.

Well yeah i too tried a lot to disable that thing, takes too much of the bar space!
Actually, according to me, you should get new JBean Custom ROM for your HOX.
Why? Well actually i just flashed the latest Team Venom ViperX for my HOX, and I am really relieved to see that USB debugging thing doesn't pop up now! :good:
As for the MTP Transfer, its not too bad too, considering how we had to wait for the device to turn from Disk Mode to Charge Mode,etc, plus, the inaccessibility of SD apps at that moment.

Hi u got a line for venom jb please

Maybe this works (it did for me):
Go to developer options, turn off debugging, leave the phone in the developer options screen.
Now plug in the cable and it should ask if you want to enable usb debugging, so press no this time.
Now disable the whole developer options with the switch on top of the screen.
Just go back out of the settings, plug the USB out and in and let's see...
This is all I had done.
Hope this works for you too.

Hey bro
So i guess you are asking for a review of the ROM?
Well its faster than renovate/stock and a haven for customizations
I havent run any benchmarks as of yet, but i believe it faster than most of the devices around me here. :good:
There are some running glitches, and i nearly had the shock of my life when after installation, the radio functions stopped working, even after full wipes, and going back to stock (Fixed now though :victory: )
I was waiting for this for such a long time, and i guess its worth it! :")

just flashed my first custom android rom (i know i know i left it a bit long) and its sorted the problem....need to get back into this its all changed since i last dabbled with touch pro and hd2 cheers for the help :good:

Did you ever resolve this? The thread seems to have wandered a bit off-topic, but I'm having this issue.
I went into Developer Options and turned off "Debug mode when USB is connected"
Then I turned off Developer Options entirely (slider at the top of Developer options section)
Yet after a while, when I plug in the phone, debug mode is enabled.
Not to be paranoid, but could something be turning on/enabling debugging by itself? I wonder aloud...
I'm on a stock ATT HTC One X+, the device is Bootloader unlocked and rooted, but I'm not running any custom RoMs.

When you plug in the usb the htc sync manager automatically enables usb debugging. if you plug in the phone and then pull down the notification bar there should be something that says "USB connected" select that and then down below there should be something similar to "HTC Sync Manager" make sure it's unchecked.

My guess is that they resolved this already, as the last post is almost 1 year old !

No, I never resolved it. Unless you would say that moving to a different phone counts... That's what I ended up doing. Bricked the HTC One X+ trying to do a factory reset (I had device encryption, and couldn't get that off and then factory reset, but I digress.)
But no... I never did get USB Debugging mode to ever really stay disabled.
-subs

Here's the best solution...
1. Goto Settings ~ Apps ~ Settings App ~ Clear Data.
2. Restart your phone.
3. Goto Settings ~About Phone ~ Tap Build Number 6 - 7 times.
4. Then Goto Developer option , enable developer option then turn off usb debugging, atlast turn off the developer option.
5. Enjoy.

How do I stop my VS985 from asking for permission to enable MTP every single time?

Isn't it supposed to remember what I choose?? It remembers that I've allowed the PC USB debugging permissions, but not normal USB connection. Every time I plug it in it runs as this Verizon Installer ****. I have to go onto my phone and either pull down my notification shade > click USB options > click MTP or sometimes a box will pop up and ask me to hit 'Allow.' Both of which are pretty difficult with a broken screen that only turns on 1 out of every 100 times.
Is this normal behavior?? Is there anything I can possibly do to fix this insanity? I've already tried the MTP Enabler app and of course it doesn't work and it drives me nuts.

I believe that is by design, to remind the user to pick which option he wants the USB to use. I don't see this as a hardship, but hey that is just me...

[Q] Does leaving USB debugging enabled negatively affect battery life?

I prefer to leave it enabled since it gives me a little parachute if the device has issues upon bootup. Plus it's easy to send commands via ADB.
Just curious if leaving this enabled drains the battery more? For example, on my Gear S3 watch, it's recommended to leave debugging disabled since not only is it a "security risk" according to them but it also can negatively affect the battery.

cant say for sure, but Ive never turned it off, never had any issues with regards to battery because of it.

Never heard anything like this... Mine is on all the time for evry device I've had.

same as above...have used usb debugging since...forever...

Great, thanks for the info!

Just like OEM unlocking...always leave it on! :good:

I kinda think of it as a wall switch on a ceiling fan. you can flip the switch, but no power should be used unless you pull the fan chain. it's just a path you are allowing access to underlying stuff, I don't see any reason having it on would drain anything more than not being enabled.
you will still get that prompt for allowing a new device to perform actions anyway. it's best to leave it enabled, and have it already familiar with a primary device with platform tools installed

Great analogy!

It is a security risk.
Of course, everything has a downside, and for USB Debugging, it’s security. Basically, leaving USB debugging enabled keeps the device exposed when it’s plugged in over USB. Under most circumstances, this isn’t a problem—if you’re plugging the phone into your personal computer or you have the intention of using the debugging bridge, then it makes sense to leave it enabled all the time. The problem comes into play if you need to plug your phone into an unfamiliar USB port—like a public charging station. In theory, if someone had access to the charging station, they could use USB debugging to effectively steal private information from the device, or push some sort of malware onto it.

Back with Secure Settings, I had phones set to enable USB debugging while connected to my home wifi SSID and disable when not connected. I can see no way it drains battery, since it is a permission only and not an active app.
