Not a bug, it's caused by UltraCfg app which has 'Tethering always On' mode set by default, and so it disables usb debugging on reboot.
Go into UltraCfg and set 'Tethering always Off' and reboot-- then usb debugging will remain enabled across reboots. Tethering will still work, just have to tick the 'USB tethering' box when need to use it.

Who woulda guessed it?

Never would have guessed this would be the source of this being toggled. However, when I set "Tethering always off" I cannot use "Portable WiFi" at all - I used UltraCfg originally to fix it (turn UltraCfg to "Tethering always On" even though it appears pre-selected, then turn on WiFi Access Point & hit home button when the connecting dialog hangs. Come back to Tethering dialog and setup your router. I am repeating the instruction here in case anyone drops into this thread

So yeah, with "Tethering always off" WiFi tethering is... always off, though I haven't tried Wired tethering. Any way to have WiFi Tethering AND keep USB Debugging turned on? I guess I will find it ina ROM in any event. Have to put that on my checklist of things to determine BEFORE flashing a new ROM.

Just turn if off and use WiFi Tether App/ many of them, and that's it. It will not affect it.

The answer is, by setting 'Tethering always off' in UltraCfg.
I've set 'Tethering always off' with UltraCfg and both USB tethering an Wifi Hotspot still work fine... and USB Debugging doesn't turn off after every reboot.
I believe the meaning of 'Tethering always on/off' has to do with what action occurs when connected to a computer via USB. If I set 'Tethering always on' in UltraCfg then my phone automatically jumps into USB tethering mode everytime I connect it to my laptop via USB (very annoying behavior!). If I set it to 'Tethering always off' then the phone only enters USB tethering mode when I tick the 'USB tethering' box.
Not smoking anything, really.

K, Thanks. Was hoping to use the stock item without throwing another app at it. well turning usb debugging on is not that big a deal, I can just flip it on when I need it.

Captivate Update Removes USB Tethering

When I got my Captivate and first plugged it in to my laptop, I was surprised when I was greeted with four options on the screen, Kies, Music Device, Media Device, and USB Tethering. Of course, I tried out USB tethering and it worked nicely.
It looks like the latest OTA update just removed that functionality. The option isn't presented when I connect to my laptop. I wonder if they removed it all together or just hide the option.
Of course, there are several other tethering options available, so it's not a great loss, but I thought people might like to know about it. I'm just glad the update didn't brick my phone! Now if I could only fix the problem with the phone turning itself off randomly when it sleeps. This update doesn't seemed to have helped with that problem at all.
Captivate PC Internet (Tethering) Option Gone?
Wow, thanks for the heads up, I kind of figure that may happen they give a little and take a lot. Did you have the dreaded GPS issue and if you did was it fixed? Have you checked to see if the PC Internet option was removed from Settings>Applications>USB Settings?
Thanks Roger
Yes, the OTA took off the usb tethering option in USB settings. GPS does not seem to have been fixed on my end at all. Been about a minute, and navigation is still trying to get a lock.

Why not use pre8?
From a phone on an app
What is pre8?
I just did the update and now I'm screwed. I'm at work with a bunch of homework to do and can't tether. How can I fix this before tomorrow night? I don't want to root my phone and can't use pdanet because my laptop doesn't have Bluetooth.
why not flash cognition ? That has mobileap in it...

Since I don't want to root my phone are my only options to either add Bluetooth to my laptop and pay for pdanet or add tethering to my plan?

If you are ok with a USB cable, I found a way to still use tethering over the USB cable after the OTA update. It is just not a straight forward as it was before. Here is how I got it to work on stock ROM, no root access.
Plug in USB cable and connect to PC. Select Mass Storage mode (when you have activated the Ask on connection in the USB Settings - Application menu under Settings). Fully connect you phone to the PC, by pulling down the Status bar and selecting the USB connect line and making the internal (and optional if you have installed external) Memory card visible on your PC. The on the PC disconnect the USB drives again (you have to disconnect first on the PC) and then end the USB Mass Storage mode by pulling again down the Status Bar on the phone and turn off the USB connection. Then when you unplug the USB cable and replug it and now select the Kies connection type, it will successfully connect to Samsung Kies. If you now have Samsung Kies on your PC installed (the UK version)you can select there the Tethering and start it and you can connect and your phone will do Tethering.
I tried it several times and every time it worked. This is not as elegant as it was before, but at least if you need an internet connection and your phone is the only way to get to it, you can still tether.
Hope this will help someone out there who needs a PC connection!

For anybody who is wondering this worked fine for me as well. I selected UK for my location and language. I'll post back up letting you know whether or not it works selecting USA. Once configured and installed, it takes roughly 60 seconds to be up...
thats excellent. i do have Kies installed. I'll give it a shot tonight.
Wifi lost while charging from computer
Can any confirm since the update, wifi connections are now lost while charging from computer via the usb port. Edge or 3g is available if you turn off wifi before connecting. With wifi on, disconnect the usb from the computer and wifi access is again available on the phone.
Running Easytether now. Doesn't require root and seems to work fine. Available on the market, if you pull your sim card. $10 for the full licensed version.
Samsung Kies is free software specifically for the galaxy s series and allows you to tether.
The link is below. being a new member they wont let me post an actual link.

Is there a way to re-enable the tethering option through the source code or rooting? Also if Froyo is OTA from AT&T, I would assume they would continue to keep this option hidden/removed. Am I right?

Yea, check the android development section. The Cognition ROM re-enables both USB and Wireless tether...
Tethering was not removed by the update. You don't need Kies installed, you don't need root, and you don't need any tricks. If you select the "Kies (firmware update)" mode, tethering works fine, assuming you've installed the USB drivers and created the necessary dial-up networking connection for the USB mode.

[Q] How do you fix Debugging from Auto Starting??

Every time I connect my USB to my computer USB debugging auto starts and it is not selected in settings. I am tired of my laptop crashing every time I connect. Even if I catch it there is no way to stop it using any menu options.
How do I turn it off from auto starting. I can not side load as a result. So I have no way to get ROMs on my G Tab.

[Q] Problem: USB connection activates data connection

Everytime I connect the the phone to a computer through the USB cable, the data connection is automatically activated and I am charged for this. Does anybody have a hint on what can be the cause for this problem?
I had updated my phone to Dexter's v3 a long ago and I was not having this problem. But I had to flash the phone again with the same Dexter's version and now I am having this strange problem.
do you have some form of tethering software on your PC?
I have Mynet.apk (3G Mobile Hotspot) installed on my phone, nothing on my PC, but I removed it and the problem continues to happen...

Just to clarify, when you say "data connection" does that mean wireless data (vs wifi) or are you talking about wireless tethering? Does it happen if you are in airplane mode?
Yes, I mean data connection through my operator, not Wi-Fi.
If I put the phone in flight mode the problem does not happen, but it would be bad to put it in flight mode every time I connect my USB cable.
Why don't you try "APN ON/OFF" Widget from the App market.
Do you have the modem drivers installed on the PC? It's possible that the computer could be trying to use the phone as a modem and therefore chewing up your data.
Also, which method of USB connection are you selecting, Portals & Tools, Memory Card Access? Do you have USB debugging turned on?

Yes, I think I have the modem drivers installed on my computer.
I am using the "Memory card access" mode and I do not have the debugging mode turned on.
The problem is that it was not happenning before... The computer should not try to use it as modem if I am trying to use in "Memory card access" mode...

Android Auto on Mate 9

Hi,
I am not sure if this problem is related to
- Mobile Phone
- Android Auto
- Car
So my question is: Does someone already has a working Android Auto connection with a car´s radio with this phone?
If so, I will continue this in Android Auto section.
Today I upgraded build to: MHA-L29C432B138
Car/Radio: Opel Astra K (MY2017)/ Intellilink R4.0
The connection could be established. But screen of car stays black. When touching screen or saying "OK Google" it accepts voice command.
My Mate 7 works perfectly...
Best regards,
Robert
no idea... working oke on my golf 7 2015 mib2 unit..
u using original cable... i also try ith lumia 950 cable, also usb-c but random disconnecting with this cable.
P9 is also working. I guess the problem is Mate 9.
Mine works with Pioneer but doesn't work well. It Will not play anything already downloaded to the device unless you connect phone to head unit forest and actually play something through Bluetooth first and THEN connect it. All permissions are set correctly etc. And what is with having to give it permission to use the data on the phone EVERY SINGLE TIME?
US model working flawlessly with 2016 VW Golf R... I did have to reinstall audible and spotify after connecting the first time in order for them to show up in the menu, but other than that, no issues with connecting, audio skips, etc. Very happy! Samsung S7 Edge was unusable with AA.
Got the International Mate 9 Pro and AA is working perfectly fine with my Pioneer 4100nex. I'm on the latest Pioneer firmware 1.09 if that helps anyone.
Works like a charm
What settings do you guys have? Do you have usb debugging or anything like that enabled in dev settings? Every time I hook up it comes up with the dialogue box to enable data access. Whether I click enable or not it will not play anything stored on phone. I've had this confirmed by Huawei Australia. They couldn't get it going either.
I have all the correct permissions set for all apps including android auto.
Any hints?

In developer options I do have "Always prompt when connecting to USB" turned off and "Select USB Configuration" set to MTP. I don't get prompted for anything on the phone. USB Debugging is off. I don't try to play anything from USB though, just use AA, Spotify, and Audible.
Other than that, I do have an Automagic script that when car ui mode is entered, the screen gets turned on, Waze is launched, slide to unlock keyguard is dismissed, and wifi is turned off. I won't need to do most of this when Waze is AA compatible, but until then, I can't live without it. This script works about 90% of the time, still haven't finished tweaking it for 100% success. Worst case, I have to turn the phone back on, swipe down on the notification panel, then select waze from "Notification Shortcuts".

Seems this is possibly the issue. Whenever I connect usb it automatically changes the usb connection type to charge only. Won't let me change it to mtp, audio or anything else. Wonder if there is a hidden setting somewhere in emui that does this... Tried it in dev settings. Same issue. Charge only

I couldn't find anything else that I changed that seems relevant. I'm just using a standard USB to USB-C cable (Anker PowerLine+) plugged into the USB port in my VW Golf.
Did you change both of those settings I mentioned? If so, when you go back into dev settings does "Select USB Configuration" still say MTP, or did it default back to Charge Only? Maybe you have to reboot after? dunno...

I am also disappointed by Huawei customer care. They just point at Google and say it is not their fault.
Does anyone know how to log / where to find the log when "Force logging" is enabled in dev options in AA?

Open android auto, go to about, tap the Android auto title 10 times, you will see a toast saying your developer. Now from the 3 dotted menu on the right select developer options locate force logging and make sure it's enabled

Getting Android Auto to automatically connect to car headunit

Each time I get into my car and connect my OnePlus 6 via USB, I have to change the USB connection type on the phone to MTP in order for Android Auto to connect. Once I change the setting and it connects, Android Auto runs well and stays connected until I turn off my car. Without changing the USB setting, the phone will stay in charging mode and Android Auto does not connect.
My car is a 2016 Honda Accord EX and I am using an OEM cable. The phone is rooted, developer options are enabled, and USB debugging is off. When I go into the developer options and try to change the default USB connection mode to something other than charging, the setting change doesn't seem to take.
Is there a way to automatically use MTP mode when I connect the phone to my car? Or something else I can do to get it connected without having to change a setting on my phone each time I get in my car?
I would clear data, force stop, and reinstall Android Auto. I use it every day and have no problems at all. Connects automatically.
My HTC M9 had no end of problems with AA. Would not connect half time time unless I replugged it in, and the voice-to-text function was buggy as hell. My OP6 is smooth as silk.
Thanks. I tried that and even deleted the phone from my car. It didn't work. I had to change the mode to mpt to get it to do the initial connection. Same for reconnecting. Doh!
Do you use Tasker? I wrote a task that will automatically change the setting to MTP. It requires the Tasker plugin - AutoInput as well.
I do have tasker. How do I set it up to do that? Thanks.

So I actually created two different profiles/tasks.
1) Detects when USB power is plugged and then opens developer settings and scrolls automatically to usb configuration and makes the change. This profile/task requires the plugin AutoInput.
2) Uses AutoNotification to detect when there is a notification in your tray stating that the device is being charged. Then it will use AutoInput again to click on the notification and change it to 'USB for file transfer'.
I only attached #1. Import it into to Tasker and see if that works. If not, I can add the second option.

God, it's annoying. It happens in all the modern androids. My S8+ 5T and now my OP6
My OP6 has no issues connecting to my Pioneer AVH-2330NEX. Just plug it in and AA starts right up. Bluetooth is pretty reliable as well, which is how I connect most of the time.
It usually takes a minute or 2 for my AA to come up on my screen (2017 Charger). Once it's connected, it runs super smooth. But I wish it was a little more responsive once I plug in the cable. Now I have to wait for it to come up before I can launch any app (Maps, Spotify, etc)
I"m going to see if the MTP method makes it connect "faster". If so, I'll look into building a Tasker Profile as well like @azsl1326

This is really close. I had to add one more scroll down step in the developer menu and change the mode to MIDI. It doesn't work 100% though. If the developer options menu is already open, it reopens wherever it was and sometimes the scroll down goes too far... Perhaps there is a more stable way to do this?

I have another profile that uses AutoNotifications to detect when there is a notification in the tray regarding USB charging. It will then use AutoInput to select this option from the notification tray and change it to 'Transfer files'. I can post that here if you are interested. It does require two paid plugins.
You could add a task to clear recents before running the AndroidAuto task - that way it should ensure that Developers Option screen is no longer active.

I replied to you in the other thread, OnePlus 6 and Android Auto
But to fix your issue, this MIGHT be the solution for you specifically. Setup an appointment with your local Honda dealer, and ask to get Technical Service Bulletin 16-059 installed.
This fixed my issue for my '16 Accord when AA wasn't working at all with my PH-1
Or you can just simply choose this option to mtp as default on USB connection. It's in developer settings.

Or you can just simply choose this option to mtp as default on USB connection. It's in developer settings.

I've tried this as well. The setting does not seem to stick. It sometimes works the next time I plug my phone into my car but the 2nd time I plug my phone in, the default in developer settings is back to USB.

Here you go. I think both of these Auto plugins have free trials, so you should be able to try it before you buy it.

This did not work when I tried it today. I'm guessing there is some difference on my phone that would require the setting to be tweaked. I'll look into this.

I have read about this and disabled USB debugging. It does sound like it works for some users but it didn't make a difference for me, unfortunately...

Didn't know that..
I had the same issue with a VW Passat 2016, and the solution was to enable USB debugging, and after that everything is working ok.
Unfortunately I'm facing another issue. If I'm initiating a call with the phone connected to AA, usually by voice command, the sound is routed randomly on the headset, speaker and sometime to Bluetooth.
Every time I have to set manually from phone app in AA on the car screen to route the sound to Bluetooth, and this is annoying. . Do you experience this issue as well?
Thanks!
