My Android 6 used to work like you describe, but for unknown reasons, the pulling on the screen doesn't bring up the "Android System - Charging this device via USB" on my phone. I have no explanation why that has happened. But there is an easy way to work around it. Just plug the phone into the computer like you say, then click on the icon "Settings". Then click on "Connected devices" and "USB Charging this device" is at the top of the list, and from there everything works the same way. I actually find it easier than pulling on the screen.

I never used to have this problem but since Google did an update on the phone - I have a problem. Any suggestions on programs to view the videos on the computer without corruption?

just taking a shot in the dark here, i have a pixel 3a, the file type for the photos is either ".MP" or some don't have a file type designation on the end of the name but if i go into the properties it will say original file name is a ".jpg" , however my system is not recognizing the photos (shows no thumbnail content and is not able to open the photo) saying that is either corrupt or is not recognized. That was with windows photo, i even downloaded a third party app from microsoft store which might recognize these files but still no luck. I can see the photo files listed just as you have them in 2:05, but they are just blank file thumbnails with the IMG name. never had this issue before with an android device.

Google Pixel videos are not compatible due to missing codec error making them incompatible with any software on Windows 10. MS probably doing this deliberately to try and spoil competition from Google. I wish I had known before as i only bought a Google pixel 6 phone for editing on a PC. perhaps I need to use a google Chromebook as windows don't want to co-operate with Google made videos?

So what do we if there is no notification on our phone when we plug it in to our PC? The only that changes on my phone when I pug it into my PC is a vibration or chime indicating it's charging. The PC knows it's there (I can access it under "this pc") but can't access any files when I select "import pictures and videos" it tells me there are none, which is not true. It's annoying, in over 2 years I've never been able to transfer files directly from one device to the other.

I had same problem. It would not work with the same cable I have successfully transferred data with my Samsung phones (Note 10 and S9). I changed to the cable the Pixel 7 came with and the notification appeared. I do not know what exactly a "data cable" is but there is something about the cable the Google needs to recognize that is different than Samsung phones.

This video is useless. Pixel has drastically changed since 2019. When you swipe down now you see four choices - Internet, Bluetooth, Torch, and Wallet. Android System - charging this device via USB is not there. You must get to USB Preferences another way. ➜ Connect USB cable to phone and laptop. Click "Settings". Enter and search for "USB". Click "USB Preferences". Click "File transfer/Android Auto".
