Want to ensure USB-tethering does not switched off (Android 7) - General Questions and Answers

I have a Samsung (6) running Android 7 which I am using for USB-tethering (on a Raspberry Pi 4).
For (to me) unknown reasons the USB-tethering is occasionally switched off (=not only at re-boot of the device).
I was thinking that it would be great if I could create some sort of little process which makes sure to switch on USB-tethering every 30 seconds or so.
I have done some google script programming, but have no idea how to approach this issue on an Android device.
Any sort of suggestions if this is doable and how I could/should start would be most appreciated, but please remember I am a beginner and I do not intend to become an Android programmer.
Also: the device is not rooted (whatever that means).
Thank you.

You can always use an app like Automate, it's very easy to understand and use. One thing to keep in mind, USB tethering access is intentionally restricted (for security reasons) from Android 7.0 upwards for external apps. Most apps require you to manually go to settings and turn it on.
Luckily some android skins (like Samsung's OneUI or other OEMs) still allow access, you will need to try it out for yourself. Here is how your "script" or whatever you call it should look like:

Hope I helped

Make sure your USB cable is connected properly at both ends. If needed, unplug and plug it in again. Trying another USB cable is also a good idea if you have one to hand.
If you're plugged into a USB 2.0 port, try a USB 3.0, or USB 3.1. Alternatively, just try a different one. You never know if the USB port is faulty.
Rebooting your PC or laptop and restarting your phone might not be the solution to everything, but it's surprising how often it can fix something. Try it out, in this case, to see if your Windows tethering problem is fixed.

Solved by rooting the device and then using MacroDroid

[Q] Window 7 suddenly freezes

Someone please help
I’ve been using ADB for awhile on my Windows 7 and it use to work perfectly without any problem. However recently, whenever I connect my phone (HTC Desire HD) to my PC, I don’t know why Window suddenly freezes after few minutes (varies between 1 to 7 min) and I have no option but to restart by pulling the plug.
Any idea how I can fix this?
Thanks and any advice/help will be highly appreciated,
USBDview is a free application from the NirSoft range and allow you to not only view the USB devices connected to your PC, and give you valuable information like VendorID, ProductID but also gives the power usage of the USB device. This can be at times good for troubleshooting any USB issues as they maybe power related.

Use it's free and remove all what you see when you use it. Then reboot the system.

screen mirroring

I am mainly interested in this app for the purpose of screen mirroring. I use the Torque app while in my vehicle, which also has a touchscreen Windows 8 computer. I am searching for an effective solution to mirror the screen. Since this will be used while traveling I will have to use the phone WIFI tether to enable the connection.
Does Airdroid offer a USB tether option? It would be great to have this. My monitor only has a VGA connection. If it had an HDMI connection I could just plug in a cable from the phone but it does not. I am not really worried about the FPS rate as I am not watching videos from the phone, and the lag isn't really an issue either....
Thanks
I've moved your post to this new thread.
AirDroid does offer USB tether option, just follow these steps:
1) Connect your Android to your computer with a USB cable.

}
2) Enable USB tethering. The detailed steps may vary for different devices, but should be similar: Go to Settings> WIRELESS & NETWORKS> MORE> Tethering & portable hotspot and check the box next to USB tethering.
3) Open AirDroid on your device, go to Tools tab, and press Tethering. A new AirDroid url like “http://192.168.42.129:8888” will be displayed.
4) Visit the full url above on your computer web browser to start using AirDroid.
You can find it in our help center http://help.airdroid.com/customer/portal/articles/1296187-how-to-use-airdroid-without-wi-fi-or-other-network-connection
If you don't care about fps, then TeamViewer might be what you are looking for. They offer screen mirroring, but it is really laggy and way to slow to play game on, but for torque it might do the trick
Message has been Baconized
Teamviewer will be a functional solution as a base, but I would wonder if the interface will be sufficient. It's gesture controlled with a mouse-style format. If you need to interact you may well find it difficult to drive and control the unit and maintain the focus necessary to drive safely.
I don't know enough about Torque or your specific needs in regard to it to make a good assessment but do try it as Gormsen suggested and please post back some thoughts and/or details so others in your situation or similar have some info to go on. I would imagine as someone thinking about implementing your type of setup having some input before dropping significant cash on it would be tremendously helpful
Good luck..

MTP Drivers problems with Windows 10 after last Windows Update

Hi, all.
After the last big windows update, my Galaxy S7 MTP connection stopped to work. It was working like a charm before. Now the driver is not recognized by Windows and there's no way in hell to transfer a file via cable from my PC.
Here are some shots:

There's no KIES anymore, tried Smart Switch from Samsung, didn't work because my Windows 10 is version N, without Media Pack.
Strangely I can't find over the internet any mention to this problem.
Anyone there to give me a hand on this?
Tried updating the driver?
http://developer.samsung.com/galaxy/others/android-usb-driver-for-windows
Uninstall that unrecognised one if it lets you first
It's possible it's not the phone driver causing the problem too, chipset/USB?
Also try this program "Ghostbuster"
https://ghostbuster.codeplex.com/
1. Disconnect phone
2. Right click an entry of each section and choose "Add Class"
3. Once all sections are highlighted, hit "Remove ghosts" at the bottom right
It might restart the program again as Administrator without removing them first time around, if so just hit remove ghosts again
Reboot the machine and connect the phone

Thanks for your reply.
I've tried this driver before, it didn't work. It's also quite outdated (2015).
Ghostbuster was a nice touch, I didn't know this one. It has not fixed the problem, but it's another tool to try in the future problems that I face. I will try to find a different computer to connect to.
In the meanwhile, I'm relying on Resilio/Airdroid sort of solutions, but Wifi is a lot slower for files over 4GB, which are usually my kind of transfer.

[HELP!] eMMC Software Download App problems with Nokia 8 (No Phone. State stuck) :(

Hi everyone!
For almost a couple of months I have been dealing with my bricked Nokia 8, it became like this on its own, I did absolutely nothing to it, this is one of the greatest mysteries I've come across and been living in misery since.
If you want to know the full extent and description, you can check it in my original post here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-8/help/help-nokia-8-powering-unresponsive-t3993959
Since then I have posted in the Noob thread and have been communicating with others, to the point that I've been trying my phone out with QPST, in particular the eMMC Software Download App. The reason being that I am wanting to gain access to my deep internal storage and do a full backup of the device, before I do any flashing or repairing to unbrick that would erase my data completely (I am in desperate need to retrieve my contacts and SMS messages as they are not backed up online or offline. It is also making my work life incredibly difficult and loosing out on jobs )
Long story short, my Nokia 8 gets recognised in device manager in 15 minutes after connected by USB as Qualcomm 9008 (before it was QSUSB_BULK but I installed the Qualcomm drivers manually).
I then proceed to open emmc software download app, and after wanting to "Switch device to DLOAD" I get this happening:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It remains in that state with no progression (looks like 20%) and I have tried this again and after leaving it for more than 2 hours it's still the same and gives me this error message after selecting Okay.
However, if I unplug and re-plug USB, then open again emmc software download app, and then click DLOAD button to select phone, I get this:
The State is now Enabled but no more Q/QCP-XXX (Sahara Download), it just says No Phone.
Any idea what this means???
Does anyone know if they may have experienced this whatsoever? And if anyone can help me on this??
I would really really appreciate it!

PX30 dongle locked down

Hi, maybe somebody can help me a bit, just hope I post in the right forum. I have a C5 wireless dongle with a PX30 (RK3326-S) chip. Problem is, device is working perfectly except, that Google Assistant voice is cut (navi and music works perfectly). I already was in contact with their support, they send me an APK to change the Output from Google Assistant from phone call to music, but also didn't help. By the way, that's was the only APK I could install, all others will fail, see below.
So I wanted to try to install Headunit reloaded but regardless if tried via Play Store or direct, installation fails. That's the same for every other programm I tried (app not installed, regardless if via Play Store or direct).
I then thought, give it a try to disable USB Audio routing in developer options, but it's not possible to enable developer options the standard way. I the read that using "adbon" in factory settings menu should maybe enable Developer options, but when using that, device restarts, but the screen of the car stays blank. When using the root command (*#hct#root#) gives just a "wrong password" error. When using m123456, I can at least enter the additional settings, but that doesn't help here.
So I really would like to have a ROM where I can install my own Apps on, so if somebody could point me in the right direction, it would be great. Following thinks to take into consideration from my point of view:
1. as it's just a Dongle, up to now I only can get a graphical output in the car itself
2. on current ROM not possible to install additional apps (the one I got from manufacture support was the only exception)
3. even if it's possible to install another ROM, as it's not a Head unit, but just a Dongle, I would also need he programms for mirroring to Car screen (also I'm not new to rooting etc, I have no clue about this Dongles) - is this included in the MCU?
This C5 device seems to be sold under different brands, see 2 links below, attached also 3 Fotos from the board and current Software.
