  • USB data transfer - gone with Android 12 and MIUI 13?

    From Martin =?UTF-8?Q?=CE=A4rautmann?=@21:1/5 to All on Tue Aug 29 08:07:41 2023
    Is USB data transfer gone with the latest updates?

    I had to find developper options again, since the preferences do not
    offer any setup here anywhere (MIUI 13: click seven times on
    MIUI-Version < about the telephone).

    I now can select data transfer as default when I connect the phone with
    the PC. But it does not work any more - no option to select picture,
    media or data transfer popup, no start of data transfer app on the PC.

    So I wonder whether that's gone now - I had to share via ftp instead to
    get the pictures from the smartphone, since I do not want to use any
    cloud service.

    It's not gone in Android 13 - I never had Android 12 - but experience
    varies: see thread 'connecting to PC' a week ago. And also maybe on your
    PC OS. But my devices have always been set up with developer options and
    ISTR there was a 'default USB connection' setting in there once but there
    isn't now, just 'USB debugging' which is on.

    I tend to issue an 'adb devices' command before doing anything to set permissions but it's not necessary for copying files as I said on that
    other thread.

    On my Android 12 Samsung, I have no problem copying files from anywhere I
    want to, and to anywhere I want to - using USB or Wi-Fi (or Bluetooth).

    In my Android 12 Developer Options are _optional_ "USB Debugging" &
    "Wireless Debugging" switches (both off by default) for things like adb
    (which I use daily for scrcpy) to connect either by USB or via Wi-Fi.

    There is an activity for "Default USB configuration" which by default has
    (o) Transferring files
    (_) USB tethering
    (_) MIDI
    (_) Transferring images
    (_) Charging phone only

    I have no idea even why that "Default USB configuration" even exists though
    as I don't mess with it & I have no problem sliding files back & forth.
