        After updating to 20.04 I now am seeing this same problem on pixel 3.

        Two questions:

        1. How can I tell if this problem is being addressed by those people with the skills to address this? (I ask this in a positive way simply to know what the status is; my knowledge of such tech stuff is about 0.0.)

        2. I also noticed that on the device I can activate "Developer Mode", but if I then leave that screen and then go back into that same screen right away, developer mode has been turned off for some reason. Is this a problem, and is it related to the mtp problem?

          I have MTP working on my Pixel 3a(s) on Xenial and Focal.

          Set a Passcode, I always use a 4 digit code for my convenience.

          Enabled developer mode.

          Rebooted device and Developer Mode is still enabled.

          I do have Android Studio installed on my Windows 11 PC which gives me the latest Fastboot and ADB drivers.

          Above are two screenshots from my Pixel3a of my "custom" image on home and lock screen. Transferred by MTP along with a custom ringtone.

          I also use a decent quality USB-C cable for transfers.

            @MrT10001 MTP shouldn't be dependent on ADB and fastboot drivers though, should it?

              @arubislander It shouldn't, but I got rid of some excess drivers on my PC (Motorola was one) and my devices stopped getting picked up in explorer (convenience). I Updated Android Studio and they all worked again. So I must assume ADB drivers on a PC will affect transfer of media at the higher level.

                Same exact problem.. Was running OTA-23 on Pixel 3aXL, plugged my phone into PC (ubuntu 16.04), and Pixel 3a icon immediately popped up on applications bar. I clicked on this icon to backup all files from my phone. No problems. Upgraded to OTA-25, and when I plug phone back into computer (same cable same day), no icon pops up, and phone is not seen by lsusb or adb. Same issue whether developer mode on phone is enabled or not. I was hoping to experiment a bit with linphone but can't till computer recognizes phone again. Any help is greatly appreciated.

                  @etdoughe Try installing Android Studio and see if that works.

                        @zlamalp I have exactly the same problem on my Pixel 3a. I reported it a few weeks ago. USB not working. No matter what I do. It works perfectly well with my older Aqaris E5Hd. Same OTA 25, same cables. It makes no difference if I use my Desktop or Laptop with Ubuntu 20.04.

                          Hi,

                          just to let you know this problem has been solved for me by upgrading to 20.04 base (OTA-3). I had to re-enable developer mode after the upgrade.

                          For some reason device is weirdly named by lsusb, but transfering files works again, adb shell too.
