Every time I connect the LG G4 to Windoes7 It shows in windows explorer correctly. But I do not get a try icon that shows it is connected. on my previous phone Note 2 I would click on the icon in the try and select disconnect. Then a message would pop up "OK to disconnect"
Withe the LG G4 I do not see any way to disconnect before pulling the micro USB off the phone, so I just pull it off.
Will I mess up my 128GB SD card just pulling the micro USB cable off? is there a correct way to disconnect first before pulling off the cable?
Thanks in advance for you thought?

There s nothing to do with your phone
first go to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Notification Area Icons and choose USB to show always
Or
go to Computer & Right Click on Phone and select Eject to Remove it Safely

how to active usbtopc popup without plug out&in the usb cable?
Any exe I can execute to get it poped up?
Thanks.
I don't know of a pop up, but you can go to Start\Settings\System\USB to PC
But it requires to plug in/out the cable to get the dialog. I prefer to click a shortcut to activate it.

I charge my EVO off of my laptop at work and I have noticed that periodically it will wake up and the little lightning bolt indicating that it is charging disappears. The phone will go back to sleep for about 60 seconds then wake back up and the charging icon will re-appear. Is this normal?
Check your charging cable. Have you dropped your phone while it was plugged in causing it to become unplugged? That happened to mine and now the terminals aren't stiff (yeah yeah that's what she said haha), so it will only charge if the plug is at an angle that causes the terminals to make contact with the upper portion of the slot.
If so, I haven't found any way to resolve that.
If not, can you provide some more details? Will it charge if it's plugged into the wall?

Charges fine when plugged into the wall. Phone have never been dropped. When I plug the USB cable in, I get the option for Charge Only, Disk Drive, etc and choose charge only. It will charge for a long while, then the screen will wake up and the charging icon will be gone, though the icon showing that the phone is connected via USB is still present. The phone will go to sleep that way then wake back up with the charging icon present again. It's very odd.
My phone has started doing something very similar only it is connecting as Disk Drive when I select Charge Only. When it does this, I have to switch it to Disk Drive, then back to Charge Only. Sometimes while its just sitting there charging, it disconnects (like yours is doing) and reconnects to Disk Drive again while Charge Only is selected. I have to repeat the steps above and its an endless cycle.
this could very well be an issue with your laptops USB chip/circuits and/or power profile.
Often times, your computer will try to power down unused components.
Depending on your laptops usb, windows and/or bios may be powering down the usb at which point your phone wakes up, attempts to reconnect (waking your laptops usb up), then starts charging again.
You might try going to your device manager > usb controllers > usb hubs > power management tab > uncheck 'allow computer to turn off this device to save power'.
I agree with it being the power save on the USB ports. You will need to uncheck the "allow computer to turn off this device to save power" for each USB port. Keep in mind on newer desktops and laptops, that there can be eight or more of the selections available for you to uncheck.

I found out that the default setting for doubleTwist media player is to make it automatically set as a disk drive upon usb connection. This setting can be changed.
Hi,
I dropped my phone on the ground and now it wont turn on, I think the LCD screen its ok, but:
1. I can't turn on using power button.
2. Also doesn't work power button + down/up volume.
3. Emergency Off button (near to SIM card) - don't help.
4. After plug in to charger - only red LED flashes.
5. After connect to PC via USB - similar to 4. - led flashes and pc dont recognize my phone.
The best solution for me will be saving my photos etc. But I have no any idea how I can get from smartphone memory it. (I have no microSD card).
Thank You in advance.
Any idea? I need to get access to memory inside the smartphone....
Don't see an option I'm afraid. Except maybe go to a store and ask if they can save your data by taking the memory out and wire it up.

i assume that your battery disconnected from motherboard after hitting down and you should open the back cover of your phone and check the battery connection if steady
Hello, so I'm on Android Q and recently having this issues. Tried multiple USB cable but nothing works.
The problem is that when I try to charge-plug USB, it won't automatically charge, instead I need to tap notification-"charging connected via device USB" and select 'thus device' then it starts charging.
The strange things is that when phone off, I could plug the charger and it works. I'm so fed up with this, also the 'charging connected via device usb' seems persistent and annoying
Anyone having this problem? Any suggestion?
Thanks!
You can set default USB activity in developer options. You can control the notification by pressing and holding it and turning notification off.
Thank you, what works for me was cleaning both USB and port with perfume.. thank you tho
Have a P3XL that I'm I was going to load a custom image on. But I can't for the life of me get it to recognize having any form of usb data connection.
When I plug it in, it simply starts charging, no usb notification appears on the phone for adjusting the connection, the computer doesn't make a sound, nothing.
With the very same cable I can plug in a P6 and P3 and they will immediately be detected in the device manager.
I've tried messing with all the USB settings on the phone, turning them off, adjust the default use to File Transfer / etc... (note that none of this is from the usb notification, but the actual usb settings under preferences since it's unable to detect it's even attached!)
I'd had a couple issues with the port only charging sometimes so I bought a replacement charging assembly and installed that assuming that would make all my problems go away and while it definitely fixed the cable so it charges every time, it continues to refuse to be recognized as a device.
Does anyone have any ideas what would cause something like this and what might be wrong to cause it to not be recognized AT ALL (to re-iterate, the computer literally can't detect that a device was attached it's not doing anything, both with old and brand new charging port).
(One other quirk, not sure if it's related...The phone never actually stays off. If you power it down, it will power itself back on just a few seconds later. The power button itself isn't stuck and works perfectly for all the normal functions: tapping/holding etc.. And to be clear, it never shuts itself off randomly or anything like that, it's just if you hold the power button and choose "Power Off" it shuts down and then just reboots 2-3 seconds later)
