Hello all, I recently dug into my Developer Options menu to try and speed up my Google Pixel 2 XL by turning off all animations, and I may have inadvertently made another change that has caused a different problem...... I have a small Go-Pro style camera that I used to be able to connect to my Pixel 2 XL thru the USB-C (OTG style) cable. I just did this as recently as a week ago .... same cable, same OTG adapter (the one that came with my Pixel), same camera...... but now when I plug it in is just says it is charging the camera, no data transfer is available.
Tried a few different cables, even tried a different OTG adapter.
I did some research, and went back and made sure USB Debugging was turned on. Then I made sure the default USB Configuration was set to "File Transfer".
After that didn't work, I tried to clear the cache & data from the "External Storage" and "Media Storage". I then cleared the cache & data on the "Settings" app. I also reset all APP Preferences....... but I'm still not having any luck.
Also I used to be able to plug my Pixel 2 XL in to my PixelBook (Chromebook?) and it would transfer data, but no such notification now when I plug the two together.
Any other advice I can try? I was thinking of maybe upgrading this phone soon, since it's a year and a half old, but if I can't transfer any data, I can't retrieve any files or pics off this phone, so I'm beginning to get very nervous.
Thanks for any help or ideas you may have, I'm willing to try anything at this point.
