Usb preferences stuck on charge - Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers

My Pixel XL USB preferences is stuck on charge and my USB C to C stopped working and I can only charge using a USB A to C charger & cord. When I hook it up to my PC, it's stuck on charge and no way I can change that, so I can't transfer pictures or update phone. Has anyone experienced this or have an idea how to fix this. Any help is appreciated.

I have the same issue with USB C > USB C not working.
USB A>C works correctly, but I've tried several factory C>C chargers and none of them work... I think it's a software bug.

I think you are right about this issue. Somehow my USB preferences stopped working. It's like the software that controls our issues got wiped. I looked online and it seems quite a lot of people has same issues. But not one has a fix. Mine is stuck on charge only, when plugged into PC, it will only charge. When I plug in my Nexus 6 into PC, the USB preferences works correctly. So I'm still stuck, even plugging in a USB Otg device into pixel XL, that doesn't work either. If you come across a fix, please let me know. Thanks

Which Rom are you using? On most roms, there is a storage option in the notification area which you can select.
atm i've got runnemede aio 6.0.4 but as i stated, it also didnt came up with notifications in mildwild rom and insertcoin rom
It might just be a bad usb cable. When you plug the phone to the computer, do you hear the common sound you hear when you plug a device to the usb port? It's possible that the data wires of the usb cable is broken while the wires for the power is still okay that's why it's charging and not detecting it's plugged in to a computer. Try to test it with a different cable.
If it's the same result then you can consider checking the phone and the computer ports.
Did you check Menu>Settings>Connect to PC>Connection Type ?
USB Cable, USB Port on PC or Phone.
Try connecting to another computer, that way you eliminate the phone.
Then try another cable.
If that doesn't work my guess the USB Port on the phone is dead. Flashing a new O/S may fix it, but I doubt it.
tried 2 diff nokia microusb cables, both charged only and for nokia phone (6500s) mass storage worked, damn i hope its not phone

Pixel C does not appear in device manager of PC

Hi.
When I connect Pixel C to PC, PC does not recognize it and it does not appear even in device manager. (Even "unknown device" doesn't appear)
And my Pixel C says weird message "USB supplying power to attached device", which I haven't never seen. I attached screenshots of that message.
And what is worse, charging Pixel C is also very unstable. Sometimes I can charge, but sometimes I can't charge.
Of course I can't use adb command. However, strangely, I can use fastboot command in bootloader.
I thought there was physical issue in USB type C terminal because even charging was unstable.
However, the fact that I can use fastboot command means there isn't always physical issue in USB terminal? I'm confused.
I tried several kinds of USB cable, but same result. A weeks ago, there wasn't any problem in my Pixel C.
Please help me! What is the problem?
Pixel C's USB terminal has broken? I don't want to believe, though.

Asking the perhaps obvious, like when someone's car doesn't start "Do you have fuel in the tank?", did you select Use USB for File Transfers v Charging in the pull down? Also, to use ADB, I had to update the driver to a Google driver (been awhile and don't recall exactly which driver).

Adding onto this, it sounds like your tablet is attempting to supply power to your PC. Make sure its in MTP mode. Mine also works in USB for charging mode, though I run Linux.
Are you by any chance connecting by using a USB C to USB A female adapter/cable and then a USB A To USB A cable? If so (I'm no expert) then I think that the wire used in USB C to negotiate "which end supplies the power" will be grounded in the female A socket (no relevant/equivalent terminal in USB 2/3 ) and this tells the tablet "you supply the power to me"

Help to fix charging and usb connection issue

Hello dear.
I have a problem with my p601,
I cant connected my tablet to PC.
When i connected, just charging and no any connection.. In odin or storage not show a device, adb not connected...
And when i used a charger show an red stroke on battery icon. And charging is very slowly, during night only 50%.
I'm root my device, install twrp, and install cyanogenmod, but nothing change.
Now whats your idea? How i can fix this issue?
This may be an obvious question but have you tried a different cable or charger? I always found running on stock ROM that charging was an issue unless I powered it down. I have used a 12W Crapple charger and that seems to work ok but charging has never been an endearing part of the this tab.
So in Odin you it doesn't work? Could you have some dirt or contaminants in the USB port, start with the obvious, change the cable, use a different usb on the pc or try another pc altogether.
I had same problem, i noticed that the usb port was loosen little bit, i had to open the tablet apply small pressure with plier to afjust the usb port,,,, and now it's perfect.

Fastboot reboots immediately when connected over USB

So I was going to unlock my boot loader and do all the fun rooting things now that Magisk is working, and when I got to the point of entering fastboot to run the necessary commands, it would just reboot as soon as I entered fastboot mode. To be clear, I turned off my phone, waited a bit, power+vol down, saw the fastboot screen for <1 second, then it started booting.
So I tried unplugging from USB, and could get into fastboot fine, and stay in it as long as I wanted selecting whatever options I wanted, then, as soon as I connected the USB cable (that came with the phone), it would reboot.
So I did a factory reset, didn't set up a pin, fingerprint or anything similar, same thing, about a half second of the fastboot screen, then a boot screen.
I tried booting into fastboot with adb, same thing.
I'm not sure what is happening here, and I've never had this kind of problem before. Anyone have any advice?
I would try using a different cable, and/or a different USB port. I've seen and experienced it being very picky.
My new rig I built has us 3.0 on the front and 2.0 in the back, my pixel absolutely hates being plugged into the 3.0 port, when I plug it in, it does nothing but spam connection/disconnection, once I plugged it into a 2.0 port it works fine
If you are using any kind of hub or extension cord remove them and plug in directly to the PC. I had this problem on my 1st 2XL but so far the 2nd hasn't given me a problem. I did move my PC closer to my desk to eliminate any extensions I had.
EDIT: I'm using my old USB cord from my Pixel 1 plugged into my USB 3.1 port.
Ah, I only have one USC C cable and one USB C port. I'll grab a USB A to C cable after work. Will update in about 9 hours.
Thanks!
USB A to USB C cable did it. Thanks for the help!

[Help Need] Oneplus 5t Type C Port Problem / No Data Connection

Hey everyone,
The type C port of my phone stopped working sometime ago. It only charges. However no dash charge is available. Also when I connect my phone to my computer there is absolutely 0 data exchange happening it only charges. Also OTG is not working aswell. When I connect a OTG device and turn on OTG, it only gives power to the OTG device however, no data connection is happening.
Before you may ask,
- I tried multiple cables and different different usb ports and devices.
- I bought a brand new official dash charge cable.
- Turned ON/OFF Usb debugging
- Put "Default Usb Configuration" to "File Transfer" (as well as trying other options such as USB tethering etc)
- Booted into recovery and wiped my cache.
- Cleared the cache of MTP, Media library services. (as well as disabling and re-enabling them)
- Went into factory menu and ran factory tests.
- Went into fast boot menu and recovery and tried plugging the cable for some data exchange.
- Then I determined that the port is damaged from endless usage for years, bought a brand new type c port (with flex cable etc) replacement and installed it.
and still... There is absolutely no data connection happening from the type c port. Just slow charging and nothing else.
More info:
The usb started working out of nowhere for a brief time on it's on and then shut off again. Which led me to believe this is rather a software issue than a hardware one.
The Microphone Jack is also not working (as they are on the same board with the usb port).
I am assuming the service or software responsible of activating the data connection when something plugged is just nothing working.
Has anybody experienced something like that? Is there anything that I can try to fix this issue?
The only thing I have not tried is factory reseting the phone and I am not sure if that would fix this issue and I want to do it as a last resort.
I just don't want to give up on my 5T as it's still rock solid except for this issue.
Damn bro. I am facing the exact same issue. Looks like this is end of life for OP5T phones? I had bought mine in 2017/18 can't remember now! Let me know if you are able to fix it anyway
I had the same symptoms and it was caused by a poorly designed ribbon cable inside the phone. The cable always has a little stress on it and over time it will break the connector on the motherboard.
