Does it stay grey even when the phone is plugged into the computer via USB?

Re: Can't enable USB debugging

Which phone? When connected, swipe down the notification panel and tap the USB connection notification--is it set to MTP?

LG G3 Android 5.0 european version. And nothing hapens if i connect there is no notifications. and my LG G3 wont charge like it normally would.
If i want to charge my phone thse are the steps i need to do !
1. plug in wall cahrger or pc
2. turn of the phone
3 .after that its starts charging (i can turn, and it will charge ,but there is no any charging animation.

so what do you think? is something broken? or maybe some kind of software bug?

Try a different USB cable. The one you're using might be damaged.

If different cables don't work, then yes, a broken microUSB port is possible.

I tried turning on usb debugging when the cable was connected but it was greyed out. disconnect the cable first then select usb debugging.
