Solution 1. Connect Android to Computer as MTP to Fix Charging Only Problem

Android device can be connected as Media device (MTP), Camera (PTP), USB flash drive, Charge only, etc. If you want to transfer files between phone and PC, you need to set USB connection as MTP mode.

When an Android device is connected to computer, a notification should appear on the drop-down menu named as “Connected as a …” or “USB Charge Only”. You can tap it to open USB computer connection options and choose MTP from the list.

If nothing appears when connected to computer, which often happens after system upgrade, you’ll have to find USB connection menu manually. Try following methods.

• Go to Settings> Storage> More (three dots menu)> USB computer connection, choose Media device (MTP).
• For Android 6.0, go to Settings> About phone (> Software info), tap “Build number” 7-10 times. Back to Settings> Developer options, check “Select USB Configuration”, choose MTP. But no way to set MTP as default on Marshmallow.
• Dial *#0808#, if you get “USB Settings”, choose MTP+ADB, then reboot.
