MTP does not work when connected via USB in Lineage OS.

[Aeong 4]

When I connect my device to my Windows PC via USB, I can't transfer files because the MTP option is not enabled.

I see the QX-1050 entry in Windows Explorer, but when I open it, nothing shows up.

The cable is not broken because USB debugging works.

Is there anyone else having the same issue as me?
I'm using Lineage OS 21.0.

The way Android works now, when you first connect your phone to a PC via USB, it is in charge only mode.  There should be a notification (very small print) near the bottom of the notification pull-down that tells you this and says to tap for more options.  When you tap, a full screen list of options pop up and you can select "File Transfer). 

LOS is the same as it uses the standard Android functions.

Of course I know that. But there was no such notification. Even when I opened Settings -> Connected Devices -> USB, 'File Transfer' was disabled.

Then I'm stumped.  On my Pro1x using LOS 21, when I connect to my Windows computer, there is a notification at the very bottom of my notification just as I described to you. and all options are available in settings -> connected devices -> USB

Could it be driver issue on the PC/cable side? That is the phone does not think the connected PC supports MTP, and hence does not offer the option? Try on another PC and/or different cable and see if you get the same.

I tried using a different cable, a different PC, and rebooting, but nothing worked.

It works fine now. I think it was a temporary device error.

Thanks everyone for your help.
