Nicedid they say if anything different?
Did you try to toggle off the USB debugging? Maybe reboot and then try to connect to the computer again and see if it pops up... I just tested file transfer and everything seems to be in order as before 13...Just discovered that since the update to 13, I can no longer transfer files from my phone to my computer. Actually, I no longer get the USB notification on my phone when I plug it in. It charges, but I don't get the indicator that I can change charge or transfer files. I have tried three different cables that all worked in the past and now do nothing but charge.
USB debugging is off already. Rebooted phone and computer. Same phone and same computer were communicating fine before the update. Now the cable only charges and I get no notification on the screen that I'm charging via USB and can change it. All my options are greyed out when I'm connected.Did you try to toggle off the USB debugging? Maybe reboot and then try to connect to the computer again and see if it pops up...

Changed it to on and rebooted. Didn't change anything. Still not working.USB debugging should be on not off
Let's try to revoke USB debugging authorizations / reboot and try againChanged it to on and rebooted. Didn't change anything. Still not working.
Still nothing. It just charges the phone whenever I plug in the cable. No indication on the screen that I can change USB behavior.Let's try to revoke USB debugging authorizations / reboot and try again
It's weird because when you revoked authorizations the next time that you plug the phone into the computer you should get a pop-up on the phone saying do you trust this device did you see that pop up?Still nothing.

I did not. I also just got my Pixel 5 that's running 13 beta and it too will not connect to my computer or show USB options.It's weird because when you revoked authorizations the next time that you plug the phone into the computer you should get a pop-up on the phone saying do you trust this device did you see that pop up?
Have you tried another computer ?I did not. I also just got my Pixel 5 that's running 13 beta and it too will not connect to my computer or show USB options.
Have you tried another computer ?
What's the computer model ? Thinking some setting is disabled or blocking connectionsAhh, well that did it. I found my old laptop in the closet and brought it out to try. Sure enough, it connected to transfer files and all the drop down notifications that I was missing on the phone before were there now. So, what do I need to do on my new laptop to get it to communicate nicely with my Pixel?
It's a Lenovo yoga c740. The odd thing is it's worked in the past. I just tried a different cable in another port and it's still not recognizing that I plugged anything in other than charging.What's the computer model ? Thinking some setting is disabled or blocking connections
You've got a bad USB port on the laptop.It's a Lenovo yoga c740. The odd thing is it's worked in the past. I just tried a different cable in another port and it's still not recognizing that I plugged anything in other than charging.
UPDATE: just tried plugging a thumb drive in to that USB port and it's not being recognized either. I'm at a loss now.
It's apparently all the portsYou've got a bad USB port on the laptop.
It's apparently all the portsbut they all charge correctly so go figure.
I tried. Says they are all up to date with current driver.Update USB drivers?
