No USB data transfer on Pixel 3a
-
@lduboeuf Also, in case I wasn't clear about this, the USB data transer was working with Ubuntu Touch for a long time and then stopped.

@Exomnium I always install Android Studio to get the latest fastboot drivers and run a command prompt from the paltform-tools folder.

I had the same problem. USB transfer/recognition worked on 16.04 OTA 23, then when I upgraded to OTA 25, it did not (https://forums.ubports.com/post/73614). Then, I upgraded to Focal, and it works again. My recommendation, upgrade to Focal.

@etdoughe I have the same problem (I have a Samsung S3 Neo with 16.04 on it). The moment I updated to OTA 25 no data transfer was possible anymore. Since I can't update to Focal, the S3 Neo hasn't been ported yet (or never will be ;)), I have a problem...

@bmlu I wonder what happened with the data transfer in OTA 25
But in any case, an alternative for file transfer is by using SSH/SFTP. Pretty easy if you have Linux on your desktop. On Windows, you can use WinSCP and similar apps. -
@bmlu I have found that data transfer works on some S3 Neo's and not other after the update to OTA-25.

@bmlu Another way to access your data (that I used when I had the OTA-25 transfer issue) is:

@kugiigi In our local network at home, I always use the ssh connection to the phone (I have debian bookworm on my PC). The first time I noticed the problem after my update to OTA-25 was when I wanted to write a small clickable app for starting and stopping ssh: I found a tutorial to write clickable apps and there were promoted two ways to deploy the app, via usb or via ssh. I decided to use usb and voila, I noticed the problem ;).

@etdoughe Thank you for the link. I now can transfer data via usb using the recovery mode ;). Although I would prefer a OTA-26 release which fixes the usb issue ... or at least a patch or something, but you can't have everything ;).
