Ever since upgrading to Marshmallow some weeks ago, when I connect my Note 4 to my Windows 8.1 laptop I need to specifically allow the connection.
Before, when I made the connection, the device was first seen in windows Explorer as a CD drive, then about 30 seconds later that would change to show it as SAMSUNG-SM-N910V, and I would then be able to access it as a regular storage device.
Now when I plug it in, I first have to go into Developer options, and change the USB configuration from "charging" to "MTP (Media Transfer Protocol), and then press "allow" on a "Allow access to phone data" dialog.
Is there any way to simplify this and make it more direct? At least get an option dialog where I can say what type of connection I want?
As it is, even when I select MTP, it is still charging anyway, so the entire process is just an inconvenient speedbump on the way to a data connection.
Thank you.
