  Whose talking about "an SD card"? Most newer devices can't even have
one. And *if* a device has one, 1) it probably is an extension of
Internal Storage and hard to impossible to recover when removed or 2) if
external storage, should not contain sensitive data.

  Trust us, modern smartphones are quite safe, if properly (screen)
locked, including automatic lock by theft-protection.

  That is *theoretically* possible, but in practice you need the
(hardware) tools to either read the memory or remove it (unsoldering?)
and put it in a specialized device to read it. No simple task at all.

> It's only the same as accessing a disk drive on an 'ordinary' computer.

  No way! A disk in a computer and 'flash' memory soldered in a phone
are completely different!

Java Jive,

> I fail to see how this could have plugged any security hole!

When a phones battery is going low there are people who do not see any 
problems with plugging their USB cable into an available USB port somewhere 
(at work, while traveling).  Some companies even have special "charger 
ports" for that.

Now imagine you have data-transfer enabled, and some black hat is just 
waiting for you to plug your smartphone into their puter / manipulated 
charger port.

This "confirm data exchange" step has been added *to protect you* from that.

Yes, its a nuissance when you only plug your phone into your own 'puter 
and/or only charge it with your own known-to-be-good wall-wart.   For all 
other cases - for the majority of users  - they get warned about an 
attempted malicious(?) access to their phone.  Which is a good thing.

Reminds me.

To connect my phone to Android Auto in my car, the thing has first to 
connect via Bluetooth, and I have to put my fingerprint to unlock my phone.

Recently I took my car to be serviced, and I got a complimentary 
substitution car. Same model as mine, but more modern. I just plugged it 
and it connected, no questions. I was a bit surprised. I thought my 
phone should have the control to connect or not.

My car has wired android auto, apart from plugging in the USB, never had 
to unlock phone to use it.

A few months ago I bought an AAwireless dongle, so now that plugs into 
the car via USB, and effectively converts the car to having wireless 
android auto, so when the phone comes within range of the dongle it 
connects, usually by the time I've unlocked the car you can see the 
status LED change colour and by the time I've sat in, put on my 
seatbelt, android auto with map open is running ... brilliant device.

Yes, pretty sure I had a one-time pairing to go through the first time.

Some years ago I got called by a friend, but neither of us could really hear 
the other.   Turns out he just left his car and was walking away, but his 
phone was still connected to the cars speakers and microphone.

Another story I read was where the neigbours of a guy had to call the police 
because of his sound system blaring at a high level.   Turns out the guy had 
left and, while walking away, tried to play some music on his phone.  When 
he could not hear anything he kept upping the volume.  As it turned out his 
phone was still connected to his home sound system (until out of reach), and 
he was upping its volume, not his phones.

iow, bluetooth might be handy, but have it automatically connect can also 
work against you.

Rudy Wieser

This is what annoys me about bluetooth: there's no way to control
prioritisation. What you describe is exactly what happens when I'm in the
garden (or even in the house sometimes) listening to music or podcasts over
my bt headphones and then my wife drives past in the car. My audio suddenly
cuts out and I have to manually re-set my audio output. If there's an
active bt audio connection, it should never supersede it with another.

I also have a similar dongle, made by Motorola (same brand as my phone). 
It is a lot of pain.

Sometimes the car BT doesn't connect (and if it doesn't, nor will the 
dongle; it is the authorization step). I have to enter the car 
configuration display, search fro BT, and manually tell it to connect to 
my phone. Soon after that the dongle connects. Not every time. Sometimes 
I just connect the USB cable, and maybe 20 minutes later I see it has 
connected to the dongle and I disconnect the cable.

Sometimes I have to reboot the phone. After a week or two of working, it 
stops working. After the reboot, it works fast as soon as the car 
electronics power up. Then over the days it takes longer to connect, or 
I have to take manual action, till it stops working and I have to reboot 
the phone again.

Oh, and some times the dongle forgets the pairing and powers up into 
pairing mode on its own. I then have to delete the pairing info on the 
phone, and pair it again to the dongle.

Absolutely no problem with Apple Car Play in my Renault BEV.
BTW: Android also works perfectly because Renault uses the Google
platform for the onboard system.

So I'm not the only one.
And I move on this way as well.

The 
"charge-only/file-transfer/android-auto/usb-tether/midi/ptp/webcam/reverse-charge/do-nothing" 
dialogue has been standard for several versions now.

I don't have a solution, but the LocalSend app may be a viable 
workaround for you, as it is or me. Navigate to the file you want to 
transfer to your PC, then long-press and select Share. If you have 
LocalSend running, it will be one of the share options. Of course you 
need to have the Windows version running at the same time too.

I'm glad the OP found his solution, and that the team, as a whole, helped.
Each of us has solved the Android-to-PC connection problem in our own ways.

In addition to Stan's suggestion of LocalSend (which works over the LAN
across all platforms) there is always the ability to mount the PC as a
Windows read/write drive in order to transfer files bidirectionally over
your Wi-Fi LAN using the Windows native "Net Use" command

Here is the Windows syntax to mo0unt the phone as a r/w Windows drive P:

 C:\> net use P: \\192.168.0.2@8000\DavWWWRoot /USER:foo bar

I tried LocalSend but it didn't work for me.

It works OK now, so I don't need LocalSend.

Thanks. I agree. LocalSend is mostly for when we're dealing with iOS.

Oh, I do - there's some apple vinegar, some cider, an apple pie in the 
fridge, and cooking apples in a bucket by the door. But I don't see how 
I can exchange files with them!

We don't even have those apple products in house! But perhaps changing 
bio files from an organic system?
