Unable connecting the phone to desktop computer via USB cable for data transfer

[userUiv8ZXOAs7]

Hi all,

Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra phone
Desktop computer

Previously after connecting the phone to computer via an USB cable, it pop up 2 taps;
Deny
Allow

Clicking "Allow" then I can connect the phone to my desktop computer for data transfer. I suppose that it is the result after updating the software of the phone. It is now pop up ;
"Connect for charging only. Tap the USB notification to use USB for transferring files"

Please advise where can I find "USB notification? How to tap it? Thanks

Regards

What folder are you referring to? With auto blocker on, all folders will look empty. This is a security measure to protect your data. If you set a fingerprint, you will be able to unlock the security settings with your fingerprint instead of a pin.

Hi Cosmic Ray,

It looks quite funny to me here.

On Galaxy S24 phone:

-> Security and Privacy -> Auto Blocker

It is now off !!!!

On computer I can mount S24 phone (Samsung Android)

-> start New window

It pop up "Samsung Android" window, showing words "Folder is empty.

Besides USB connection to computer worked on Galaxy S24 without problem before.  Why ???

I just tested my old Galaxy S9 phone.  On computer after mounting it  ->  New window;

It popup  "Samsung Android" window and shows "card" and "phone", 2 items.  The folder is NOT empty.

Clicking "phone" it shows;

data, DCIM, DJI, Documents, Download, etc.

The connection, Phone to Computer, works without problem on Galaxy S9 phone.

Why Galaxy 24 can't work ???????

But the connection works without problem before ????

The same USB cable, the same computer ??????

Hi all,

Lot of thanks for your advice.

I have tried your advice multiple times before posting.  It seems the phone connected/mounted, showing "Samsung Android" mounted.   Clicking "Samsung Android" icon shows "Folder is empty".

I used the same USB cable.  Before I can get the phone (S24) connected to my computer (same computer) without problem.  The USB cable still can connect my Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra phone to my computer without problem.  2 taps shows "Deny" and "Allow"

Hi all,

Following online video helps me out to fix the problem :-
Samsung Galaxy S24 ultra phone unable to connect PC for data sharing via USB cable, but for charging only.

Fixed! - Phone Not Connecting to PC but Charging Only

It took me a day searching Internet to find this video. Now when I plug in the phone with an USB cable it connects PC automatically for downloading phone data to PC. The solution steps are NOT simple and straight forwards.

But what is the cause making my phone for charging ONLY? I don't know? I haven't add new software to my phone recently.
