I just purchased an Infinix Hot 4 and a Nexus phone after running few updates on it, i noticed my Computer doesn't detect my phone when it's connected via USB.

I realized that this was a common issue with new Android devices.

This mostly happens after a recent update and is caused by bad Android USB drivers loading in place of good ones, So the computer fails to recognize the device.

There are two ways to fix this issue.

---

FIX 1: ENABLE USB DEBUGGING (ADB)

Android debug bridge also know as USB debugging allows the user to gain direct access to the main file system of the Android device from any PC. When USB debugging disabled, users will only be able to interact with their device media storage, such as the SD Memory card.

After enabling USB Debugging try reconnecting to your Computer.

FIX 2: Remove Bad ADB Drivers Or Reinstall MTP

If the entire method does not work for you, try this

Open your device manager look for the name of your device which has ADB
If you don’t see anything with “ADB” in the name, you may have to look elsewhere. I found the Nexus 6P under “Portable Devices,”

Click on the Update Driver Software

Click Browse my Computer for driver software

---

After that select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer

---

Now you will see a long lists of software select Android device or Android Phone

On the next screen select MTP USB Device then click Next.



Your device driver will then install, and your Android device will be recognized as a multimedia device and can be discovered in the File Manager.
