Default USB connection type - Moto Z Play Questions & Answers

Can the default connection for plugging into your computer be set to "File Transfer" mode? My device always registers as "charging only" and has to be changed in the USB pull down window.

That is a security feature of MM so no, you cannot change it.
In Developer Option, you can change the default to MTP but it's still going to show Charging default on connection to PC via USB.

tp2 tethering (tmobile version)

Ok. So I went through the user manual. I installed Microsoft Activesync 4.5 on my HP Netbook and connected my phone via usb. From here i am lost. According to the manual it says that my phone is supposed to say connect to pc with a "internet sharing"option. that option is not there. The only options available are connect via active sync with outlook or disk drive. Am I missing something? I combed through the manual and searched the web and still could not find the solution. Any help will be appreciated and I'm sorry if this has been posted before but i could not find anything on this.
i just did this for my self last week..
the help section ON your phone is where i got this info...
first, disconect your phone from your computer..
then open active sinc on your computer...
click "file" then click "connection settings"
a new window will open.
UNCHECK "allow usb connections.
close active sinc.
plug your phone in.
on your phone tap to connect via "active sync"
now, on your phone go to "programs"
then "internet sharing"
it should now show on your phone,
status
pc connection
make it USB
network connection
should say tmobiel data.
at botom of screen, hit the "connect" tab, if it didnt auto connect..
if done properly status will show it connecting then finaly connect.
your computer will then automatically get an ip adress from tmobile... and then in a few moments you should be able to use computer internet normally...
i notice that it likes to drop connections periodically... all you need to do is go back into the internet sharing on yoru phone and just tap "connect" again and it reconects.
You can leave all the active sync settings at stock.
Plug in the phone and it will make the activesync connection, go to the program menu on the phone and click internet Sharing. Under PC connection it will say USB, Network is Tmobile.
Click connect and it will automatically shut down activesync and start the connection sharing...
In short...
Connect to computer. Activesync should start automatically.
Start Internest Sharing on the phone.
Click Connect
Done....

Desire PC Connection Problem

Hello people
My Desire was connecting fine to my PC yesterday and I could access the SD card but now when I try it says device not recognized. I tried reinstallin HTC sync and driver but same problem and have also restarted PC and phone. Im on Windows 7 64bit.
anyone??
this is driving me crazy
But once you connect your phone via USB to PC, on phone screen it will show 4 items of connections, did you choose the one of storage card??
I'm also having issues with HTC Sync.
It normally connects fine and syncs with Outlook OK. Every now and again (about twice a day) it will show the "charging" icon when plugged into the USB port (on any computer) but not recognise the fact that it's connected via USB. The "connection options" dialog isn't even accessible.
If I reboot the phone it immediately connects and starts working, so I know it's not a PC issue. It's like the phone thinks it's connected via a charging cable and not a full USB data cable even though it's the cable that came with the phone.

I'm having this exact same problem, would rather not have to reboot the phone every time I want to access the SD card via the PC as I do it quite a lot!
Anyone know of a fix? Or is there a way of bringing up the 'Connection Options' dialog as I can't seem to find it anywhere on the phone, only the Connect to PC options which lets you set the default mode it's supposed to go into when connecting via USB
to mark on HTC (setting/connect to pc/ask me), install HTCSync.exe on PC, disconnect all usb cables(including HTC ), to connect only HTC device to PC .... it helps me

Is not this.
Checked or not, when connecting the usb cable, it should show something like "charging only" or "htc sync", but only shows "USB debugging connected".
Just trying to establish some relation between our devices, do you guys have "extended controls" installed?

[Q] Default selection on USB plug-in

USB debugging not an option?

I have USB debugging checked in Settings-->Applications-->Development. However, when I plug my phone into my computer via USB, it simply says "Charge Only. When I click the "Charge only" on the notification bar, my only options are: Charge only, HTC Sync, Disk drive, and Mobile Broadband Connect. What's the deal here? I have done USB debugging before....
If USB debugging is on under development settings it should automaticly start USB debugging when you insert a USB cord into both your computer and phone.
There is no menu in the sense nptification interface that has that option but i may be wrong. I haven't used sense since i got my phone.

Hmm, then if I have USB Debugging checked, why doesn't it automatically go to USB Debugging when plugged in? Does it matter what ROM I have?
I dont believe your ROM matters but as linuxmotion said, once enable it should automatically turn on once you plug your usb in. It should be on whether you pick charge only or disk drive, etc.. without you having to do anything.
look for a notification about usb debugging when plug your usb in, you should see one if you enabled it in development.

[q] usb mtp mode

on both star burst 1.4 and viperboy i have had the problem that when plugged into usb the phone automatically connects over MTP protocol...... how do i change it to MSC?
I can't remember how since it's been a while but Google how to switch it from MTP to mass storage. You edit something in Windows, it's pretty simple and easy. This of course, sets it to default to mass storage. On the phone though you can manually do it by going to settings>wireless settings>usb settings
It should be self explanatory after that.
If you turn on USB debugging, it should disable MTP mode.
