#151660 — Can't reach files on my smartphone anymore

Hi all,

I have a Samsung A53 with Android 16. I have a pc with Windows 10 Pro. 
When I connect a cable between the pc and my phone, I could see the 
phone on my pc and open it. I could see all the folders and pictures. 
Easy to download them.
But my phone got an update. And now it has changed. When I connect the 
cable, I get a message on my phone: Tap the USB notification to use USB 
for transferring files.
But that's all. Nothing to tap on. And though I can see the phone om ny 
pc, I can't open it. Can't download pictures.
I also have a SSH server on my phone. I could contact that with a client 
on my pc, and had access to my phone. Now it also doesn't work anymore.

What can I do to access my phone?
Many thanks in advance for your answers.
With best regards,
Fokke Nauta

Different cable?

Different computer?

There is nothing wrong with the cable. I have only one.
And when not using the cable, I used the SSH server. But it did not work 
either.

Tried that, but the same result.

I had perhaps a similar problem in that the phone wasn't recognized on
another computer (a borrowed laptop) where it was the cable, so I wrote up
a thread on how to buy a cable that will work for both data and charging.

At first I thought the cable was fine, so I downloaded the Samsung drivers
onto Windows (since the borrowed laptop hadn't been booted in a while).

But replacing the Samsung drivers didn't solve the problem. 
The new cable solved that problem.

I used the cable with another phone and it worked well.
So it's not the cable but the phone.

  The "Tap the USB notification to use USB for transferring files"
message" is on the main screen you're viewing. But note that it mentions
"the USB notification" and notifications are in the notifications area
'behind' the screen you're viewing. So drag down from the top and the
notification area will open and you'll see the 'USB...' notification
which you can tap on to select the desired USB mode, in your case
'Transferring files / Android Auto'.

  OTOH, things have always been this way, so I wouldn't know how you
would not remmember that.

  If you can see the phone on your (Windows?) PC, the USB connection is
probably set correctly, at least for pictures ('Transferring images'
setting). But for security reasons, your phone must be unlocked to
transfer files. So if your phone's screen is locked, unlock it and
acknowledge any permission prompt you might get.

  Can't help with that one.

I did and it worked. I noticed that I'll have to do this every time I 
connect my pc to this phone.
Thanks.

Never had this problem before. It always worked well.

It was unlocked.

I don't use it since I use the cable.

I'm pretty sure you can go in Ontwikkelaarsopties and set this as the
default action when you connect with USB.

I haven't found Ontwikkelaarsopties.

For someone whose native language is the same as s|b's, it only takes some
imagination to understand what he means: Developer options, of course.

Check Fokke's From header; his mail is *.nl. So I think it's safe to
assume his native tongue is Dutch (like mine). The fact that he can't
find it is probably caused by the fact the Samsung thinks it has to
reinvent apps and settings.

I guess you're right.

  In order to 'find' the 'Developer options', they have to be *enabled*
first:

For Fokke (and other Samsung users):

  Settings -> About phone -> Software information -> tap the 'Build
number' seven times -> enter your PIN, etc. -> Presto! The 'Developer
options' will now be at the bottom of your main Settings menu.

  Now you'll find 'Default USB configuration' in the Developer options
menu. Just search (use the magnifying glass icon at the right-top) for
the setting, because it's a very long list to browse through.

  And, as 's|b' mentioned, you can set the 'Default USB configuration'
to 'Transferring files / Android Auto'.

  "Elementary, dear Watson!" :-)

Hi Frank,

I did it and it worked! Fantastic! Haven't got a clue as to how you know 
this, but I learned this again.
Thanks very much.

  I've used 'Developer options' in the past (don't remember what for),
but not on my current phone (Samsung Galaxy A56), so I had to look it up
again. All that was needed was a simple Google search on "samsung
developer options". Google's 'AI Overview' gave the answer. So, as I
said "Elementary, dear Watson!. :-)

  You're welcome.
