Connecting to a Vehicle USB MTP - Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've always had issues connecting to vehicles with my Sony Z5 via USB.
I connect the cable I get the prompt and I select Transfer Files. MTP.
The phone will kick into MTP for less then a sec but as the vehicle is trying to establish the connection the Phone will kick back to Charge Only and the prompt comes up to select the USB connected mode again.
If the Phone is trying to use a APP with that connection to the vehicle that app will crash since the connection is no longer established.
I have tried different combinations of settings in the Developers Options like Select USB Config. USB debug on and off. And nothing seams to work.
Is anyone out there having any success using the USB in their vehicle to connect to their stereo and not just for charging.
Also I did check with the Vehicle and it does communicate over MTP. I was able to get this to with with a old Samsung Galaxy S4 with my Jaguar F-Pace.

a way to disable usb internet sharing?

I would like to have my Fuze connected to my laptop via the usb cable for charging and activesync, but use my phones wifi for internet.
Problem is anytime I connect the USB cable it drops my phones wifi connection and starts using my laptops internet connection, which is a pain while listening to streaming music and disconnecting often to run an errand. Ideally would like to keep activesync going to allow using mymobiler.
Thanks for any help.

Next time search my friend.
Close thread please!

> "start -> settings -> usb to pc -> uncheck advanced network functionality"
I recalled that option on my Hermes, but it appears different on the TP. I don't have the "advanced network functionality option. Attached are the options I see under Start->Settings->Connections->USB to PC. Only get options for ActiveSync and Disk Drive modes. Disk Drive mode disables activesync and hence MyMobiler.
I did a pretty extensive search using the the forum search option as well as site specific google with terms/combo's like usb, activesync, wifi, enable, internet connection, sharing,... but didn't find anything related to allowing phone wifi use while connected to a PC which is connected to the internet.

I have a Topaz and I experiened a similar problem - Internet Connection Sharing comes on automatically everytime I plug a USB cable between it and my computer, but I didn't activate it - the mode was supposed to be "Disk Drive Mode" on settings\connections\USB to PC, but there was no option to disable it either.
I had just found the solution -
1. with USB cable disconnected, select "Ask me first" on the USB to PC setup, click OK.
2. Connect USB cable to PC. The 3 choices come up from a HTC setup screen:
o Activesync
o Disk Drive
* Internet Connection Sharing
o Don't ask me again
DONE
QUICKLY click "Disk Drive" radio button AND check "Don't ask me again" AND click Done below it BEFORE internet connection sharing comes up. It will now stay in disk drive mode.
See if it works?

[Q] Win 7 computer not reading my infuse

I plug in my phone, and it does the chime to confirm it's connected, I also get the USB connect screen on my infuse. However even when I enable mass storage mode, my phone won't show up as a drive.
Also, Kies Mini just keeps telling me to connect my phone, even though it is connected already and in Kies mode.
Try a different cable. I had one do that and it was a funky cable
Sent from XDA Premium on my Infuse 3.5G
My infuse never co-operated with my desktop, a new USB port/cable fixed it.
Plug in your infuse with current set-up, rt-click My Computer -> Device Manager -> Look for 'Samsung Device' (or something like it) -> rt-click -> Uninstall
Then restart, use a new USB cable, different Port. cross fingers

is it possible to force usb connection to MTP mode?

Device: Nexus 5x, Marshmallow, rooted.
When I first connected my phone to my car, I was able to use MTP mode. Then, I launched BMW Connected Drive app once, and my car started to be recognised as a USB accessory. Even if I use developer options to select the MTP config, it automatically switches back to a USB accessory. I am wondering if it is possible to force the USB connection to MTP, or stop my phone recognising my car as a USB accessory?
Thanks!

Is my USB/Charger Port broken? (Can't connect to PC)

My Verizon Galaxy s6 doesn't get detected at all by my computer AT ALL. I've tried different cables, PC's, USB Debugging etc.. It just charges that's about it. I looked in Device manager etc on all the computers I've plugged it into and it doesn't show anything being connected. Also I even tried a OTG Usb flash drive that doesn't get detected by the phone neither and the LED on the usb doesn't light up. Only thing I haven't tried is to force put it in MTP I don't know how to do that, i'm on 5.1.1 not marshmallow so I don't think I have that option and I can't update the phone to 6.0.1 because I don't use the phone on Verizon's network to OTA and the phone won't connect to my computer so I cant update it that way. The phone charges good when connected to the wall outlet. The only thing I can think of is maybe the charger port is damaged in someway that is not allowing the phone to detect a computer is connected to it which is why I never get a MTP notification. Before I do surgery on this phone and attempt to replace the charger port do y'all know of any reason to why it won't connect to the pc or is there anything I can do to force MTP?

I just tried this still doesn't work
Smart Switch should be able to update it for you if you don't have service. Has to be in MTP mode though. Enable Developer options by going to About Phone -> tap Build Number a bunch of times and then change the USB connection type in Developer options. I think Smart Switch installs drivers. If none of that works maybe its a driver or OS problem.

H96 Max - adb can't connect

I need to connect to this tv box through adb, but adb doesn't even detect it. I'm using Ubuntu on a laptop.
USB debugging is allowed in developer options, the connection type is either file transfer or charging, trying to select any other mode (picture/image transfer) doesn't work, it goes into charging mode.
I tried using only WiFi, nothing. Tried connecting the box by USB to the laptop, nothing. Tried plugging in an ethernet cable from the laptop to the box, laptop can't get a connection going.
Has anyone managed to do it?

If you have windows on your laptop, try using MyPhoneExplorer and connect to MyPhoneExplorer Client on H96.
