Connect to PC as USB Storage

For some reason my Note 5 doesnt seem to want to connect to my Windows 10 PC as USB storage. Did they nix this too or is it still possible?

Should still be possible. What does it say in the top status bar when you have it plugged in? Does it show connected as installer?

Try turning USB debugging on in the developer options. Restart phone then plug up

this is what it shows before anything tries to install properly.
Then this is when the computer found the drivers when the phone showed mtp

Looks like it was the micro usb cable I was using. It wasnt the one that came with the phone and was a bit older. Guess that did the trick, thanks!

You should clean the dishes when you're finished eating off them. It's easier that way, rather than letting the food become hard and crusty, which is more of a pain to remove later on.

Universal OTG USB hub reader, multiEverything?

Anyone using or tried any OTG on the v10?
I am considering getting one (all) of these...

I wonder if the first two work like the last one if I use a cable to connect to the PC, if it will function as a PC USB Card reader as well..

A friend got this for me on www.taobao.cn , so no link, there was no way to find this as there were similar products available, and since my friend gave it to me, I now have the actual item and packaging, so I can pick more up in a few days time during my visit to china.

With this reader, my friend did show me something that was not possible, with the use of the istick app on ios, you can copy and move files and music to and from the adapter to a iphone or ipad, the adapter also allows you play rmvb files.

Anyone try this?

I have seen the 5-in-1 that include USB-OTG, Slimport-Video-Out, and charging at the same time. However the reviews I have seen say that when connecting the HDMI to a Tv, the connection is very touch-and-go. Also there is a limitation with USB-OTG, and the phone can't be charged while "hosting" any usb devices. Not without modifying the kernel. I made a post here on this topic.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-v10/help/usb-otg-slimport-questions-t3322542 Seems like this post here might be a better place for discussing such features.
Does anybody know if there's any reason why HDMI and usb OTG couldn't be used at the same time? Also, do you think wireless charging might work while using USB OTG?

I found an interesting article regarding a " DisplayLink " docking station. The basic idea is to output video through USB OTG, while using the same USB OTG port to connect USB devices. http://www.cnx-software.com/2015/08...se-easily-with-a-displaylink-docking-station/
This is a very interesting solution.

hey there you need to uninstall the program from your computer go to windows settings and uninstall it or turn off usb debugging on your phone
the fix is because on some windows 10 builds it says it is not connected to an internet conection when tether is conected

This helped hold by connection. I was having random disconnects.

When i connect my computer it works but i was wondering if i can make my Windows 10 laptop to share connection somehow for more devices, it is not showing in my hotspot on my laptop.

Yes

OTG Unmount Notification

After updating to Nougat, after connecting an otg pen drive, there was a convenient option in the notification window where u could unmount the drive.
I think I swiped that notification & now I don't get any notification after connecting my otg pen drive. My device is connected & works like normal, but I don't get any notification. It's not convenient as I need to go to Storage in Settings to unmount my device now. I no longer have this:

I couldn't find a picture of the Samsung notification
Any solution?

After a lot of testing and deleting app data, the solution (that worked for me) is very simple. I simply inserted a different [brand of?] USB flash drive. The notification showed for the new flash drive, and when I connected the previous flash drive, the notification shows again. Hope it helps.

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.
