  1. I don’t seem to have networking options 🙁

  2. Every article I read on this is no help. I have Android 6.0.—. I have a Samsung Note 4. When I plug my phone into my laptop it defaults to TRANSFER FILES. Not the charging option. I turn on DEVELOPER OPTIONS and set the default USB action to CHARGING. It makes NO DIFFERENCE. The phone always defaults to TRANSFER FILES.

  3. I want to upgrade my system on my ASUS phone and I am not very tech-savy. How do I do that?

  4. For some reason there is not default usb configuration option in developer mode in honor x7a Magic ui 6.1 android 12 phone. Are there any steps to make it appear?

    • There is not any specific solutions to fix this issue. Try to connect your Honor device to your PC or Car (Android Auto) and ensure to unlock your phone. If display the notification on the status bar, you can change USb settings. If you can’t see the option in developer mode, please contact your phone support to resolve the issue. If you find any way, don’t miss to share details with us in the comment section. Thanks.
