@scofus Nice one. This is were I run the powershell (Windows 11 - Linux slightly different) for adb fastboot from:

C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\platform-tools

This is with the latest version of Android Studio.

All my devices get picked up in Windows as Android devices and connect without issue after installing Android Studio. I always had issues just installing specific USB, ADB and fastboot drivers for devices.

What I have found, much like PC's is as you have done is to persevere. You worked it out in the end, good luck with UT.

I sync the pictures (fotos or screenshots) to my FreeBSD laptop with:

$ cd /home/guru/UbuntuPhone/rsyncedFromBQ $ rsync -rav phablet@192.168.2.102:Pictures .

This is done by SSH over Wifi (works as well over USB tethering).

Nexus 4 hardware does not support OTG. The OS is irrelevant.

For wireless keyboard/mouse you need to use Bluetooth devices. You also cannot use OTG and Slimport simultaneously, on micro-USB devices that support Slimport.

I have solved the issue. The fail was a media scanner corrupted database located in:
/home/username/.cache/mediascanner-2.0/mediastore.db
Once removed the file and rebooted the phone, new database was created succesfully.
I left this topic because may be useful to other users with the same problem.
Thanks to all the developers for keeping this project alive
