I'm looking to try this software, but I've been unable to find it online. Our phone tells us where to locate it, but I don't seem to be able to find it.
Settings>PC Connection>Help (located at bottom of page).
Has anyone actually located it, and if so, would you please provide a link?
When I connect via bluetooth to my laptop a dialer automatically comes up. Maybe that's what this setting is for.

I was under the impression that it would allow us to mimic the phone's screen on a desktop's display.

When I installed, the phone had a message pop and said install PC software. I hit OK then a message to install PC software came up on my PC.

I've installed "PC software" from LG's website, but I have not seen the actual "On-Screen Phone" software. I don't believe it downloaded along with the typical drivers. All it appeared to be is a USB driver, nothing else.
I cannot "remotely control my phone through PC via USB or Wi-Fi connection", as On-Screen Phone is supposed to allow me to do.
Can you control your phone via your PC, with the software that you installed from the message you received?

Yes I can the phone shows up just like it is on the phone. Did you change your pc connection to pc connection in settings? From there when you plug in the phone,
A message on the phone should say install pc programs.
After you hit ok, you should get a message on your pc it is a autoplay message and one of the options will say run lg pc program.exe click on that and the will install the pc lg on screen software.

Done all that. It says it is installing PC programs. Then the phone gives me the message that PC Programs are started. I get a popup on the PC giving me 4 options under "Portable Device" (Sansa Media Converter, open device to view files using IE, Sync digital media files to this device, & Take no action). None of these seems to be the proper one. On my PC, which is set to DL new files directly to the desktop, I see nothing new. Where on your PC did the file get stored?
I wonder if it is an autoplay issue. Having a senior moment right now and can't remember where the autoplay settings are. I'm looking in Control panel (Win XP SP3) but nothing coming to mind..

did everything but no good.
In Program Files, I have LG Electronics. Inside is LG United Mobile Driver. Inside that I have 3 folder and it does not seem to be in either. I also have in the mobile driver folder 12 executables, but none of them seem to be the On-Screen software.
What is the exact name of the file I"m supposed to have?

Hi to all,
everytime I connect my Ascend P6 (b125, no ROOT, no MODS) to PC, it connect as USB MassStorage. (then I can not see in menu applications, that are installed or moved on SDCard). I can change connection type, when I pull down status bar. But I want always connect as MTP. Is there a way to set default connection type to MTP? Before I had Samsung with cyanogenmod, and there it was in Settings -> Networks and connections -> USB (or so something, dont remember...)
thanks.

I had the same issue, but not always, when my phone was connected to my pc
When you connect your phone and change the connection from USB storage to MTP, there should be an option right at the bottom, that says "Always prompt something-something", and untick that.
Sent from my Huawei P6
I have it unticked while selected MTP, but when I connect phone again, it connect again as USB srorage
hello, I have different trouble .. I just installed CM10.1 .. but mass_storage doesn't work .. even I modify build.prop ... persist.sys.usb.config=mass_storage,adb .. still can connect only as MTP or PTP .. any help? thanks

Maybe the ROM/Kernel don't support Mass Storage.

My phone also started having this issue after it decided to restore itself to factory settings on New Year's Eve. It's really annoying! Would love to have someone provide the solution here.
Bumping this thread. This is causing a huge inconvenience for me. I'm discouraged from charging my phone over USB now.

Which firmware are you on? What have you installed? Did you install any custom roms before, and which ones? Which recovery do you have? TWRP or stock?

B125 stock rom with standard apps. The issue began in B118.
Just updated to B137 and the problem persists. Completely giving up on this phone as I have a Nexus 5 inbound.
Hello,
I published a post here related to this pb.
This does require to modify boot.img which is a tricky operation.
I have a similar problem. When i plug in my Huawei Ascend p6, nothing happens it just starts charging. It use to open a window where it asked me what type of connection i would like to use, i probably selected charge only for default, and now i dont know how to change it back. Pls help.

Thansks.
I have a new T-mo G3, and when I plug it in top my computer, I don't get anything, no new device, no storage access, no looking for drivers, nada.
I've tried every port I have easy access to. I don't know if there is a setting I'm missing, or what's going on.
I don't even get an option to turn on USB tethering on the phone.
The only thing that DOES happen, is the phone starts charging.
(Win7 x64)
Posting from said phone, so sorry for formatting.
Lg drivers from lg website and check device manager if there is any sign one the usb ports way on the bottom of the list of devices.
If yes stop the devices by right click the ones with "!". That should do it
please hit thanks if i helped in any way. send from my g3 d852 beast
Also, on your g3 go to settings - storage, then click the 3 dots in the upper right and select usb. Make sure that you don't have it just set to "Charge phone".

I don't get a device, unknown or otherwise at all, so there isn't a device to install drivers for.
Seems like the problem lies with my computer. I just plugged into another computer, same Win7 x64, and immediately, I get the device connection sound and it pulls up the device storage.
When I connect Nexus 5X to a Windows 10 PC, I can't see it in File Explorer.
Many people said that one should change the option from charging only to MTP in the USB connection notification, appeared when plugged in. But I don't even have that notification, and cannot find the option anywhere else.
In Devices and Printers, there's a Nexus 5X under Unspecified; and in Device Manager, I can see a "ACER ADB Interface" there which I assume is for Nexus 5X. I tried to download Nexus driver from Google buy it seems is the same with the ACER ADB thing and is not helping.
Any tips or solutions? Thanks in advance!
PS. First xda thread started by me, yay!
UPDATE: After awhile, maybe it's because I slid the screen while connected, the notification did pop up. But EVEN after I chose MTP, there's still nothing in my File Explorer...
Hiya,
I had the same thing happen on my 5X. I was only able to get to the "Use USB for Charge / MTP" dialog by enabling Developer Mode.
To do that: Go to Settings / About Phone, and scroll all the way to the bottom.
Tap "Build number" seven times. On the sixth tap, you should see a message that says "one more tap will unlock Developer mode" or something to that effect.
Back-arrow to the Settings main menu.
Click on Developer options
Look for Networking / Select USB Configuration.
Choose the mode you want.
The notification should appear when you plug in the USB cable to your computer.

Thanks for this info! I'll keep that in mind, but now I still have problem after chose the transfer mode. Maybe it's because I slid the screen while connected, the notification do pop up. But EVEN after I chose MTP, there's still nothing in my File Explorer...
could be a driver issue?
download and install latest usb drivers.
Go to My Computer> Properties>Device Manager> Find the android device>Right Click update driver software>Browse My Computer>set to folder where you have usb driver saved and go from there?
You can also try to let me pick (instead of browse local folders) and pick the google ADB interface from there.
I have also had success in the past using other software (PdaNet) to manage the whole installataion of drivers; but this adds software to both phone and computer ... may or may not be useful.
After re-reading your first post its definately driver related. It shouldnt say Acer just ADB Interface or google adb interface.

Check Device Manager, is it listed as ACER Device? It probably is. It happened to me. Select the device, mouse right, update driver, choose "let me pick a driver" or something simmilar. Then you should get a list of compatible drivers and 2 entries, the current ACER driver and some generic USB driver. Choose the generic USB driver. That did the trick for me.
This i got from reddit . I had the same problem today this link helped me .. hope it helps you too

@arpan_pratik, Thank you! You are the best! This is exactly what my problem is and I solved it using your suggestion!
Although I didn't yet find any useful information from reddit regarding my issue, you must used some magic keywords
@The_Automator, thank you, too! It indeed is a driver issue. I tried many times to update the driver or uninstall the ACER ADB driver, but none of them worked. Didn't realize that it is Windows chose the wrong default driver. Don't know why, maybe it's because I installed adb before?
So, for the record, here are some key points to solve the problem:
The wrong driver for my Nexus 5X showed in Device Manager is ACER Device\ACER ADB Interface
No use to install Nexus driver from Google, even use "Browse my computer for driver software" and search the extracted Google driver folder. Windows will say the driver is up to date.
So I have to do this: In Device Manager -> RMB on ACER Device\ACER ADB Driver -> Properties -> Update Driver -> Browse my computer for driver software -> Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer -> check "Show compatible hardware" -> choose "MTP USB Driver" (this is a Microsoft driver under "standard MTP Device" category) -> Problem solved!
Then I can find my Nexus 5X in Device Manager here: Portable Devices\Nexus 5X
After the right driver installed, if I try again to update the driver using ""Search automatically for updated driver software", Windows 10 will actually install the wrong driver (ACER ADB) back!
Thank you all in this thread to help me exclude other possibilities, lock down the culprit and finally solve the issue!
Just got a Nexus 5X, and I'm having the same problem under Windows 10. I don't see an Acer device in Device Manager though, I see a "Nexus 5X" under "Other devices" with a yellow triangle exclamation mark.
When I tried following the steps, I don't have "Show compatible hardware" nor "MTP USB Driver". When I tried installing "MTP Device", I get an error "The install class is not present or is invalid."

Yeah, and it's been a while so I don't remember exactly, but I think it was a different cable that made it work.
I've switched to a Droid Turbo 2. The 5X didn't have enough battery life for my usage.

If you have other android devices that is working on your PC, you'll notice that the driver used is the "wpdmtp.inf" you can get it on your 64-bit Windows on this location:
"C:\Windows\WinSxS\amd64_wpdmtp.inf_31bf3856ad364e35_10.0.16299.15_none_42867195f7d5106b\wpdmtp.inf"
Locate this file via device manager and choose "MTP USB Device"
And viola! You can now transfer files again in your Nexus 5x!
I am in the same boat but my PC stopped recognizing my phone at all. PC will see all my other devices including my pixel 2xl. But every since that Nov update I believe my PC's and diffet cables does not show up at all. Have read all the threads and so far nothing has worked for me.

Did you get it working again? I have 2 other phones working fine but the nexus5x disappeared and cant get it back. Even deleted the cache and the data for the System apps named "External Storage and Media Storage" as some suggested. Shows up as unknown device now.

Nope, was never able to find a fix. If you do please let me know.
Yes I got it working. Since longer USB cables only shows unknown device I installed android development system and it made no difference.. But I had a 6inch charging cable that came with my power brick and I tried that and viola the Nexus showed up.. Not as a nexus 5x like before but as something like romaster composite ADB interface or something and I was able to flash TWRP recovery so now I can at least get access to it. Backed up the memory to a flash drive.. Have not flashed SU or anything yet but that should not be a problem with TWRP installed.. And like usual it takes a few flashes and rebooting into TWRP for it to stick other wise the recovery goes away.. Still dont know why the longer USB cables make any difference.. I even tried it out on a USB extension socket which is a 20 foot long USB extender and that also works.. So it must be something else like when I had the MB changed the adapter I was using did not work for data transfer.. Might be using some wire that is missing in the longer cable..

Change the option to File Transfer from the popup/notification on your phone when you connect it to the PC. It works for me.
EDIT: If it still doesn't change, check the adb drivers.

i am not getting any popup.
Check the sliding switch on the right hand edge of the op3 is "down" to allow ALL notifications. There are plenty of "install OP3 drivers" videos on Youtube. Windows drivers are also on the phone.
This should still work - the drivers are also supplied on the phone. Doing nothing other than connecting a op3 to a windows pc should cause a cd drive to appear in Windows Device Manager and in File Explorer (look under "This PC") for "CD Drive (drive letter: OnePlus Drivers" . Double Click the icon and run "OnePlus_USB_Drivers_Setup.exe". If you are running a recent version (and clean installed in the last few months) of W10 Pro then you may hit driver signing issues
