Question USB tethering - Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4

Any way to disable Samsung's 'cable detection' feature? USB tethering doesn't work because device doesn't recognize cable. I'm using original one and tried new and older cables also. I've had similar problems with another Samsung devices before and it's pretty annoying. WIFI is too slow and bluetooth even slower compared to USB so I don't like using them. Device just keeps telling use original cable and starts charging slowly.
Also the usb c port is cleaned, tried restarting device several times, tried all usb ports of my pc. I'm using Windows 10 pro. All drivers are updated and I have newest Samsung drivers.

Turn on Developer options and try setting it up there. No blocked or disabled Samsung system apps, right?

Tried that but it doesn't work. Also Windows is saying it can't recognize usb-device. I have disabled YouTube only because I use another app for that.

Hit take no action in the Windows connect popup*. Then go to Disk Management and punch scan for new devices. Access the drive in that window and do the transfers there. Command line can also be used to access Disk Management etc.
Try rolling back or updating the driver. Installing the latest version of SmartSwitch on Windows should load the correct driver.
*you must authorize the connection first on the Android via a popup window that should appear after being connected.

Not working. Reinstalled all usb drivers including Samsung ones. Smartswitch is not working because Windows can't recognize this device at all. Maybe I just reinstall Windows some day and try if it works then. Thanks for the help.

You're welcome.
Try another port and cable.
Reboot, always reboot Windows.
Check Event Viewer for error messages.
For Windows to recognize the device you sometimes need to use the scan for new devices command in Disk Management. The solution is likely simple and right in front of you.
Play with it... fun times.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S III USB Lockout

My AT&T Samsung Galaxy S III suddenly no longer works with usb. It can charge with the connection, but it does not show up as any kind of device. No MTP, no PTP, no usb debugging, no anything!
I tried:
- Factory resetting
- Plugging it into a different computer
- Switching to a different ROM
- I even tried to restore to stock firmware, but Odin couldn't see it.
No computer can notice my phone. It doesn't even notify me that it is unrecognized. The usb on my phone is locked out from any connection other than charging.
I use the phone for Android development and I use Eclipse ADT to compile my apps.
Is there any other solution I haven't tried?

Used the cable that came with my phone on different USB ports. Didn't work.

Already had the drivers installed. Reinstalled, rebooted, still doesn't work.
Here are a couple of other things to check. This menu can be achieved by using dialer code *#7284# on a Tw based rom.

This was Windows 8 and solved by:
Uninstalling the Samsung Drivers
Running CCleaner
Rebooting
Hooking up the phone in each connection type: D/L Mode, MTP, and Debugging
Windows Update loaded the drivers properly

Don't forget pulling out the battery from my phone and going into download mode without the battery. Thanks a lot for your help!
The true fix for this annoying issue is to reboot the phone into download mode. Then hold the power and home buttons down for a few seconds to force a power down. When the phone is off, power it back on like normal, and you can then connect to usb again. This is a pain but it works EVERYTIME, guaranteed.

ADB not seeing N7...

I can get into it from the computer.
I've tried different cables.
I've tried every USB port on my computer.
I can unplug the cable from the N7 and go directly into my N4, adb devices it, good to go.
I've noticed that, on my N4, I plug it in and I can get into it through Windows Explorer AND it shows up on ADB. On the N7, if USB Debugging is checked, I can't get into it through Explorer or ADB. If I uncheck it USB Debugging, Windoze does its little unplug noise, then the plug in noise and I can get into it. Is this a 4.3 thing?
Has anyone else had this happen? Is this a bug or am I the bug?
Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks!!
I don't have an N7 2013 (thinking about getting one though ) but passing on something a friend told me about her older N7 model: it didn't allow ADB while MTP was enabled. So you might try disabling that and seeing if it helps.
Maybe you have some permission problem and need to run the shell as administrator. It looks like the tablet was recognized from a driver standpoint.
Are you sure that's the right driver? It says Android Phone/Google Nexus ADB Interface.
Seems like you have the drivers installed for your N4 but not your N7.

Yours says something different? Mine says Android Phone and I don't think I've seen it say anything else, whether phone or tablet were connected.
I'm having the EXACT same problem and it's driving me nuts, my Device Manager says Google Nexus ADB Interface
EDIT: Solved it, go to settings > Storage > click the menu on the top right and select USB connections > Select PTP instead of MTP.

If you want to get it working with MTP and USB debugging enabled see this post:

I'd just like to throw in that I was having the same issues with ADB and the only time I got it to work was after I disabled MTP/PTP on the phone. Im sure there are better fixes in this thread but thats my two cents.
After updating to the latest driver version 8.0 it should say "Android Composite ADB Interface".
I'm having the same problem and it's driving me crazy!!! This is funny longest I've EVER went without rooting, assuming root was available for that particular device. I'm gonna try disabling both MTP and PTP, like mentioned earlier.

[Q] Can't push files to phone, related to MTP drivers?

So I'm an Android developer who usually works on a mac or my PC laptop with no issues connecting and pushing/pulling files from my S3. I have been trying to do this on my desktop PC however and find that I can only pull files from the phone, not push them. I've tried doing this just via the Windows UI, the developer ADB UI, and running adb commands via console. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling drivers several times and that hasn't changed my luck either.
I think it has something to do with the MTP drivers on my computer:

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Full disclosure, I'm not running a legit version of Windows 7, and I suspect that is the root of the problem (my laptop is running a legit version of Windows 8 and never causes a problem).
I've searched around for any answers regarding the MTP driver, but the best I can find is an old link on Microsoft's website for Windows XP or Vista which requires a product key for that version of Windows...
Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks a lot.
It shouldn't matter if your copy of Windows legit or not. Try uninstalling the drivers from control panel, then install the drivers with administrator permission.

Gave that a shot, it didn't give me the MTP error this time, but it still hangs up when I try to push something to the device.
Try going into Kies and reinstalling the drivers from there ( Its somewhere at the top)
Then connect your device while kies is opened and the drivers are reinstalled. I had a similar error and fixed the MTP. If you can't push files to a device, try to unlock the lockscreen?
Never heard of that sort of problem. I hope you get it fixed.

Can't see anywhere to upgrade drivers via Kies (which I reinstalled). I can't push any files to Kies either... but I can view all my files on the device and pull from it. All drivers seem to be installed correctly.

LG-G3 - USB Debugging not working Windows 10

I purchased an LG-G3. Performed an OTA update to latest: 47A. I connected to my Windows 10 box, enabled debugging, worked fine.
I downgraded using TOT method to 10B. The device is now running 4.4. Reconnected device to Windows 10 box, enabled USB debugging, does not work.
The device only shows up in device manage as a portable device
I have tried the sticky on this forum, unfortunately it does not apply as I do not have any of the items listed to remove
I have uninstalled all LG Driver/LG Verizon Driver/Google driver etc.
I have used USBDeview to remove anything named LG/ADB/Google
I have rebooted my machine, double checked the USB list with USBDeview
I have enabled/disabled/revoked USB Debugging, switched between MTP/PTP, rebooted phone
I feel like every time I google the problem a different way, I end up back at the Google USB driver download page or the LG Verizon driver download page
I would appreciate a fresh set of brains, I have a feeling I am now tunnel visioned and won't ever get out, please help ;0 I never get that prompt on the phone to allow the computer access to the phone, is that permission still on the PC is some fashion and needs to be revoked?

I ran a system update and the phone downloaded ~200mb file, applied and rebooted. Looks like that was 35B bootstack and now the phone does enable USB Debugging. Unfortunately if I take the phone back to stock USB Debugging still does not work
I also connected the fresh stock phone to another Windows 10 machine with the LG G3 Verizon Drivers installed and could not get USB Debugging to enable...
Cmd as admin, cd *adb path* , adb devices and an authorization should appear on your phone, usually works with me.

The cmd part as admin is very important, dunno why but it wouldn't recognize my phone unless cmd was started like that.

It might not say the same thing if you don't have this set as the default USB option, which you can find and change if necessary if you use the search field at the top of the Android Settings for USB. It's the last option in this screenshot "USB Preferences":

USB Preferences look like this (when you're connected to the PC). What I have selected isn't the default - I had already changed mine:

Lastly, if necessary, have you tried rebooting the phone? Tried rebooting the PC? Tried a different USB port and USB cable?

Sounds like the ol' driver issue rearing its ugly head again. Tons of resources and just as many supposed solutions. One of them will work. Windows 11?

It's the driver. There are a few fixes out there but they are at least a couple of years old. But I believe they still work even though they were for Windows 10. If I recall it was a device manager thing and you needed to install a driver from the system or a delete the driver that is causing the issue and reinstall it. Here's an old thread but you can search for Win 10 Pixel and come up with a bunch of possible solutions. Good luck let us know if you can fix it and how or if you still need help.
