It's a Note 5 and I consider myself a pretty experienced Android user when it comes to Developer Options but this has me a little stumper.

When it's not plugged into anything it will stay in MTP mode but as soon as I plug it into my car (Android Auto) or into my PC to download pictures etc from the phone (with a white OEM Samsung cable) it automatically switches to charging only.

When I go into Developer Options and try to switch it back to MTP it just switches for a second and then goes back to charging when the option closes.

Debugging is also on and I recently did the 7.0 upgrade to Nougant to try and fix it.

Is there something else I need to do to make sure this stays in this mode?
 
Welcome to Android Central! After connecting via USB, what happens if you change the connection mode to MTP using the USB notification in the swipedown notification panel? Does it still change back to Charge Only after that?
