Okay so I want to manually update to 4.4 (I have the normal 4.2.2 for this model). So first I connect my phone to my laptop to create a backup just in case something goes wrong. And SURPRISE! USB Device Not Recognized. Tried changing the port, the wire, restarting the phone, the laptop, no change. The USB notification is also not showing on the phone, it just sees it as regular charging.
I never had this problem before... I even used USB debugging several times. I thought maybe somehow the settings changed and it's no longer set to MTP. So I go to my phone's settings and can't find the USB settings to check. Looked it up online, they are supposed to be under storage when I press the menu button. I press it and nothing happens, and the USB connection settings are nowhere to be found.
Any ideas?
Have you tried to install your phone's USB driver in your computer?

1. Turn on USB debugging
2. Upgrade to the newest version of Kies
3. Ensure it connects as MTP [media device] not PTP [camera]
Does this sound familiar?

This seems to work for most any device changing Android OS on their device
Disconnect your device from your PC/Laptop.
1
From your Device, disable USB Debugging found in Settings > Developer Options.
1
From your PC/Laptop go to Device Manager, click on View> Show Hidden Devices.
1
Double click Composite ADB Interface, click on Properties.
1
Click on the Driver tab and choose on Roll Back Driver. This will uninstall the problematic drivers.
Should 'Roll Back Driver' option be grayed out, click Uninstall.
1
In the confirmation pop up window, click the box marked "Delete the driver software for this device" and then click OK.
Repeat this step for all Composite ADB Interface' entries.
1
Shut down your PC/Laptop, then start again.
(IMPORTANT: Do not "Restart" from the shutdown menu, you must do a full shut down)
1
Once PC has fully rebooted, open device manager and keep it to the side.
1
Connect the device to your PC/Laptop. Your PC will recognize the device as a storage device.
1
From your device go back to Developer options and select USB Debugging.
1
Unplug the device, wait 15-20 seconds and reconnect. You should now see your device from you PC and Device Manager should now have a "Portable Devices" folder
1
Should 'Composite ADB Interface' show up again, repeat (4) and (5) to roll back the driver update.
Ƹ̵̡- It seems, using the universal driver is also a good suggestion. These can be downloaded here -Ʒ

try to reinstall your OS.
always works.
In my device manager there is no ACER.... When I connect my LG G3 (F400S) Android 4.4.2 version, nothing happens in the PC, nothing happens in the device manager (no refresh, no new drivers of LG or LGE), the phone just charges (nothing from the notifications as well). I have installed the LG drivers (latest from LG website), LG PC Suite, tried to connect from LG PC Suite, but the PC refuse to detect the phone. I tried with different USB cables, different USB ports and different PC with different windows (7, 8.1 and 10), absolutely nothing. More surprisingly, my friend has the LG G3 (D855) which he can connect and get detected by his laptop but mine does not in this laptop with his cable in the same USB port! I think the problem is with the phone itself even if it charges. Please HELP!!
@Mr Rus
Is this device new or did you purchase used?
Does the device charge? If so, how?
Has your LG G3 ever been connected to your PC/Laptop?
Do you hear any sound from your PC, when you connect the device via USB cable?
Hi,
1. The device was bought as used online. It said new on the website but by the look of it i know it is used (scratch at laser autofocus and screen not properly glued OR it is a defective one).
2. Yes it does charge with the charger. The one i got charged the phone 0 to 100 in 4 hours. So i use my tablet charger (5V, 2A) to charge the phone with another cable (about 2h and 15min from 0 to 100) as the cable which came with the phone also causes the slow charging. When connected to the PC the phone vibrates and charges. I can see the 'electric current' on the battery icon and on the lock screen I can see it says charging (%).
3. It is the first time i've connected the phone with my different PCs. First one i tried without the drivers installed then tried with driver and pc suite installed. In the second PC the driver was installed first then the phone was connected. No positive result.
4. No, no sound at all. But i remember that there was some android adb stuff in the device manager (maybe same to the ACER...), i uninstalled it without checking the box mentioned in your instructions unfortunately. Then i heard a sound when connecting the phone. And right after that another sound, in my taskbar it says unknown device and error (i forgot the error code). But nothing on my phone in the notifications, it just charges. Under USB controllers in my pc i could see Unknown usb composite device (something like that) with yellow exclamation mark. I googled and had this uninstalled. Since then no sound at all.
I cannot return the phone for exchange as the shipping cost would be too much for me to afford (about USD 70-90). I am waiting for a software update as maybe this will solve the problems. I am still with kit kat 4.4.2. But if this is a hardware issue, it would be difficult to solve this.
Also the USB OTG does not work.

I have the same problem...
Maybe you have some problems with usb
Maybe you have some problems with usb port. I use usb hubs in such situations. Somehow, gadget seamlessly connects to a PC via the the extraneous device. I found good reviews for usb hubs on topchoice.best, if you suddenly decide to take my advice.
Go to settings
Then PC Connection
Check to see if phone is set to MTP

There is no PC connection setting, no MTP settings as well.
I am on a stock based rom.
If you are using aosp or cm based you might find the mtp in storage settings.
If the previous owner defaults the connection to charge only then windows will not detect the phone.
A friend of mine did the same and i found the setting to reset back to a mtp connection when plugged in with usb.
If i remember i had to hit the ellipsis button ... The three dots and it was in there. Sorry i am vague but it was a long time ago and i am stock based.
If somebody running aosp or cm can chime in and tell him where exactly that setting is that would be nice.
Otherwise goggle it.
Good luck my friend!

Unfortunately there is no such setting. I am using the stock ROM from LG itself (android 4.4.2) and the only setting about PC connectivity is Share & connect --> LG PC Suite. There is not options for MTP even after connecting the phone. I know for my friend when he connect his, he get the notification to change to charge only, MTP etc from the notification bar, but mine nothing. I done factory reset so, I do not think that the default setting is still set to charge only. Tried everything for this issue :/
For a last resort you can try another usb cable and/or a different usb port. There are also apps on the play store that will do wifi direct.

Thanks bro. Good job.
@TonyStark, thanks for the job you have done, for us, but my friend's AT&T LG G3 does not connect to PC at all, i have tried many ways like 3845#*850# Post Setting > Diag Settings > USB Set for Diag && Settings > Diag Settings > USB Set for Diag, but still no luck, i have also installed LGUnitedMobileDriver which was also suggested by you on the first post, No Luck yet,
Edited: In the last i came to know that the USB jack or port of the G3 was badly damaged, hence, after knowing that i told my friend that he is luck because his devices is still charging with this port condition. And he went to the hardware shop happily
And you were pleased to shut down that thread, I don't know why? may be you were trying or looking to make something better than that but we lost a good hope.
Now please help me what can i do with it, it is running 4.4.2, any thing we want to do with it is failed due to no USB connection to the PC,
by the way, i know i can root it with kingoroot and install autoRec and than TWRP and can upgrade to Lollipop by the way of putting all material into SDCard but does updating solves the USB connection problem OR we will be in the same state. As far as Marshmallow is also landing soon so, I think my friend must not stay on kitkat, and lastly an LG G3 like wooping device may not live its all life without USB connection. Please help. Thanks

how
you can use last version lg mobile driver
You can access the PC connection from your phone setting/storage/upper right corner option/USB PC Connection.
Then you will have 3 options of Charge tablet, Media sync (MTP), Send images (PTP)
Unfortunately even after I select MTP, my PC still can't detect my tablet LG G Pad 7.0 LTE
hi, thanks for sharing this info (new member here)
Hi friends
I am facing problem with my Galaxy Note 2.
Earlier when I first connected to PC it asked me whether I would like to use only as charging or for Media Transfer.
I choose Charging Only.
Now after automatic upgrading ( not rooted) I am not able to connect to my PC.
It only charges but I cannot use for Media Transfer, Even I cannot find where this option is.
After a lot of surfing in internet I changed pc, cable ( original), enabled USB debugging mode from developer options, enabled code *#7284#, *#0808# etc....
but the end result is same, All PC just says USB not recognized.
I have files in it which needs to be transferred so I don't want to be rooted or hard formatted.
Hope anyone can help.
Same...
Same problem....
Dear All
Sorry for bothering...
it was hardware problem, faulty IC.
I reapired it

my problem is
- i can't connect my note to computer, when i connect the handheld the battery shows red X cross and it wouldnt detect neither wont charging.
- but when the device charged via ac adapter it work fine.
- the device wont recognice sim celluler card "mobile network not available"
nb: all feature and function works fine inclde wifi, bluetooth, etc. (the error just gsm function and connection usb mode with PC)
i have tried this some work but couldnt solved my problem yet.
- i cant rooted my device via odin caused by the device won't detect any usb to my pc. (normal mode or download mode)
- i tried to restore efs by efspro software but not working caused by the device won't detect any usb to my pc.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2291839
- i have replaced the Micro USB charging port receptacle and it just the same, i think the hardware of my usb port is fine.

Are you using two different cables in testing or are you just moving the charging cable from the adapter? I found uninstalling the windows usb driver and rebooting to reinstall may help detect the device. Some usb ports dont have 500ma output for charging or change to a different port if available. Changing the connection type on the usb status icon to reset and set the type of connection may trigger the usb driver to connect. I think for the most part your windows driver is failing to initiaize and detect your device. Trouble is getting it to reset cleanly and install properly.
Once the device becomes detected, you can perform the steps to restore your device in order to use a sim card.

Thanks for your response,
About the cable is fine to apply for any gadget, but won't work on my Galaxy Note. I have repaired it at unofficial service center and they said there is no problem with the cable nor the usb port
And still, they don't know yet where the trouble is.
is there any possibilities to fix my Galaxy Note in this case? Thank You
I've tried multiple pcs, multiple cords, and opening the phone to see if the usb had dust, and the phone only charges, doesn't connect to the computer at all (doesnt appear in device manager, no notification, nothing.) Should I get replace the usb area or try something different?

You need to activate developer options by going to settings - and tapping on build number many times until it says you have activated developer options
Goto developer options set Default USB configuration to file transfer - your phone will now connect to PC and you will be asked to install the USB drivers.
This will install all the USB drivers you need
{If you want to connect a usb stick or mouse to USB ( stuff that needs power [NOT PC] you need to activate USB OTG first}
If this has all been done and it still doesnt work replacing the usb board may be necessary.

Backup your files, full wipe + Downgrade to oos 9.09 is worth a try maybe this will work [I am on 9.09 with EDXPOSED GRAVITYBOX banking apps work cool with Magisk hide, everything works great not gpay but I dont use it]
