USB connection to PC not working on Ulefone Armor X5
Today I will tell you why Ulefone Armor X5 does not see the computer and how to fix it. Someone will say you can live like that, but how to drop media files onto a computer? How to receive root rights and reflash phone if the computer does not see Android? It turns out that we (users) really need this feature.
PC can’t connect to Ulefone Armor X5 via USB
Suppose you connect the phone to the PC via USB, and the PC does not respond, then the possible problems can be the following:
- Windows crashes (one of the most common options) — in most cases it is treated setting this patch;
- The cable is damaged;
- USB does not work on a PC or smartphone (for example, due to electrostatic shock);
- The drivers for Windows have flown, put the patch on the link above and try to install the drivers again;
- In Android 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9.0 Pie, 8.0, 7.1, 6, when connected to a PC, the “Charging only” function is selected.
Solutions to the problem
As you can see, there are 2 types of problems — physical and software. With the physical, everything is simple — if the phone is charging via PC, then everything works. With software — it is better to immediately install the patch for Windows, the one recommended above.
With the last problem, everything is simple, when connecting the phone to a PC, select the connection type — “File Transfer”.
It also happens that you have a cheap and bad cable, from this the computer sees the phone every other time — to avoid such a problem, I recommend using a proprietary or a good cable with Aliexpress. As an example, there are the simplest ones for $ 0.5, there are decent ones for $ 1, the difference is visible even visually. There are the same ones for $ 1, but with a logo and a box on it, they are already sold for $ 2 — $ 4. Choose something in between.
If nothing helps at all, you can get confused and upload photos to your computer via Whatsapp / Telegram and other messengers, however it will take a very long time and the photos will be greatly compressed in quality, + the download and download speeds leave much to be desired.
