LG E440 - Optimus L4 II USB Issue

[Dejan194]

Firstly, i would like to say hi to everyone as i just registered here.

Now onto my problem, few days ago i got a new (second hand, was used by my dad) phone, LG E440 with Android 4.1.2 installed on it. Everything on it works perfectly except for one thing that i need badly. USB File transfer. Basically when i connect my phone to my PC via USB, literally nothing happens. It just starts charging my phone, that's it. I checked to make sure it's configured to Media Sync (MTP), i've tried all other options aswell, even LG Software still nothing, my PC will not detect the phone at all nor will it connect. I tried power cycling the phone (removed the battery for few mins), factory reset and messed around trying to find anything that would even remotely point to a problem and found nothing. Also tried with Debugging mode, still does not detect. I am currently using an alternative app called AirDroid to get some kind of file transfer working. I didn't try to flash the ROM as i'm not sure how to do it and i do not want to brick the phone. If anyone has any kind of an idea on how to approach this i would be very thankful!

Welcome on board. It could be as simple as trying another cable

I did try 4 different cables, still nothing :/ It starts charging the phone but nothing else.

Hmm if your PC can't see it it's some sort of connectivity isse. Have you tried other ports on your PC?

 

[Dejan194]

Yep. Tried different PC's aswell. none detects.

OK on a Windows PC does it show in device manager?

 

[Dejan194]

The answer would be no. I'm starting to fear that there might be some kind of hardware fault..

It's possible the USB port is faulty or each of the 4 leads you have tried are.

It is kinda hard to believe that all the cables i tried are at fault when those same cables work on my dad's LG L70 and it detected the phone and connected with MTP almost instantly. If there isn't any other way to test this to be 100% sure, i'm probably gonna call it hardware issue and stick with WiFi file transfer. :/
I could go and get a new data cable for my phone, but if it is a hardware fault, it would be money wasted. :/
