Hi,
I am testing an unofficial build of /e/-os and found that I cant change USB preferences. First I only find it in the settings by search. Secondly I dont even see the notification that a device is connected. I used connections from Windows and Ubuntu 20. Both encounter the same issue.
Is there any way to set this in terminal on the phone or smth else?

Update:
I managed to connect using adb
This here doesnt look good:
~$ adb shell svc usb getFunctions
it returns nothing
When you search settings for USB, do you also see “Default USB configuration”? Like this:
Secondly, depending on device, you might expect to see an “allow” pop-up when you connect the PC. On my Samsung I get no such pop-up but I get an unobtrusive notification. It seems to me that I have to acknowledge that notification.
yeah that option exists, but it doesnt change the fact that I cant access my phones storage from Laptop. I fear this unofficial build has way more issues than I thought. I fear that usb - properties arent even enabled.
So what does Default USB configuration say?
Default USB Configuration said this when I opened it for the first time:
I can set the options there - but it had so far no effect on connectivity. Am I doing something wrong?
You did nothing wrong at that stage if you changed the setting to “File transfer”.
The info box tells you it will be applied “later” 
I think the problem is that acknowledgment.
To get the Default USB Configuration setting to work, I enable Developer options (Settings > About Phone, then tap on Build number seven times.
The Settings > System > Advanced > Developer options.
Scroll down a long way and you’ll see the setting .
It’s not very easy to find, but this way works for me 
Good luck
Hi Petefoth,
a screen shot would be nice, I can’t find the option there.
Thank you
Thank you, I’have the same configuration, but USB connection always the default one.
And each time I connect the phone I have to specify “file transfert”, unconnect and connect the phone. Not very simple!
If you press / select the line that says ‘Configuration USB par défaut’, you should see a screen that looks like this, where you can change the preferences
Wonderful!!! Thank you so much. I a newbe on that system, and very confusing.
Thanks again Petefoth
