Anyone know how to maintain a persistent MTP usb connection in Marshmallow?

Drop-down shade notification defaults to charging only.
Once changed it doesn't hold the change.

Did you try changing the setting from Developer options?

hmm... which setting is that?
It is set as MTP but on plugin it asks which options.

Developer options --> Select USB Configuration

I've had it set to "Charging only" on some occasions, but once I manually set it to "MTP (Media Transfer Protocol)," then it sticks.

Developer options --> Select USB Configuration....... then it sticks.

That's my question; It is set as MTP in Developer options but "Charging Only" is always the default upon usb insertion.

My understanding is that that is just the way it works, so we have to live with it.

Personally, I like and often use Airdroid - the free version - it's generally easier and I can do so much more with it.

I've had that happen to me a couple of times on the stock MM. I remember manually changing it to something else and then back to "MTP" for it to stick.

There's an app for that....

Not a BIG deal.
A new PITA "feature".
