The appearance of new functions and mobile gadgets in the corresponding lines is always accompanied by an increase in the number of various problems with them. Therefore, users ask a lot of questions regarding how they used a certain option of Xiaomi Redmi 3S. For example, the situation in which the computer does not see the smartphone is one of the most popular.

Connecting with a USB dongle is effective in transferring files between your phone and PC, which is essential for most people. However, what to do if it is impossible to send information? It is possible to synchronize using other methods that do not involve the use of wires, but it is much more practical to fix the problem and keep the functionality of the gadget.

The main causes of the problem

You are probably aware that the reason for the lack of connection or recognition of the phone can be problems in both the system and hardware. With the latter, inconsistencies in the adapter or the presence of damage in the device connectors are most likely. The second option is associated with deviations in the functioning of the operating system, since problems could arise that require user manipulation to solve.

Significant difficulties can be with the software part, since it is more difficult to establish the root cause and choose the appropriate solution. In addition, many factors depend on the shell of the device, so such inconveniences often occur with Chinese versions of smartphones. In order to find out how to restore functionality, effective recommendations will be further analyzed, which can also be applied to various models of Xiaomi smartphones, since they have similar software equipment, but there may be differences in the instructions for gadgets from other manufacturers.

Solution #1: Check the USB cable

Before making adjustments to the device parameters and using emergency methods, such as reinstalling software, it is necessary to exclude the most standard versions. These include damage to the adapter through which the connection to the PC is made. To check, you only need to try to connect the gadget using another identical cable. If there is no effect, the reason lies elsewhere and the search should continue.

Solution number 2. Download drivers

Another popular failure factor is the lack of special drivers for device recognition. The computer cannot independently determine how exactly the gadget should be identified, so you need to select it as an external drive. For this, drivers are used.

In particular, modern PC software automatically installs the necessary components from the Web after connection. However, what to do if there is no access to the Internet at the current moment, or the system cannot find the necessary data? In this case, the problem may have a different character: the drivers are present, but their version is out of date.

All proposed theories can be tested manually. To do this, use the settings to turn off digital signature verification and restart the computer. Then install the correct software version. The project site warns that individual drivers are provided for chipsets from different companies. Since Xiaomi releases devices on both Snapdragon and MediaTek, it is worth making sure that the selected item is completely suitable. After carrying out the manipulations, you can check whether the most current versions system components.

If, during the described steps, the computer did not begin to see the connection to the smartphone, then you should use other troubleshooting methods.

Solution #3: Debug Mode

Correcting drivers cannot guarantee a positive result, because sometimes it is necessary to check the parameters mobile device. If the PC does not display the connection of the Redmi series smartphone, please go to the settings and select the "Device Information" section. Click on it 7-10 times to get developer rights, which will be indicated by the notification that appears.

Next, return to the settings, where new functions will be present in the list of items. To do this, go through the “Advanced” component to the “For Developers” section, then “USB Debugging”. The option must be started by itself. When the connection type options are displayed, you must select MTP as it is intended for connecting to a computer using as media.

In this case, another method is available, which consists in entering a certain sequence through the number book: *#*#13491#*#*, which launches the connection mode menu. The proposed method is effective if you want to connect your smartphone to a PC as a multimedia player, but there is no automatic selection of options.

Solution #4: Use the Terminal

The above methods can be easily performed by the user. However, if there is no effect for an unknown reason, you can use other methods that are more difficult. For example, use a third party android program Terminal E. Upon completion of the download, connect the phone to the computer, after which it should identify the gadget as an external drive.

In the application, enter the SU command to get root access. Then you need to enter the following task: setprop persist.sys.usb.config mass_storage,adb. Next, click "Enter", and then before completion, add a restart of the device - Reboot. To start directly in MTP mode, you can use an identical command, replacing the mass_storage fragment with mtp. After turning on, the smartphone should be detected in the PC system, so you can perform the necessary manipulations with internal data.

Solution #5: Use your phone as a camera

In certain situations, the computer can only see the phone as a camera. To solve the problem, use one of the above options. However, if you are not interested in fixing the problem and just want to work around it, then there is a suitable method. For example, using a PC, you can send the necessary data to the photos section. Then with the help file manager immediately transport the content to other sections of the system.

The method should be used only as a fallback, for example, when it is not possible to analyze the problems and solve it. As a result, the malfunction remains, so using a smartphone as a camera cannot be considered a complete solution.

If the device previously used the set connection parameters, which disappeared after a while and it is not possible to determine how to connect the gadget to the computer, it is recommended to use the QCustomShortcut application. After downloading the program, go into it and in the second upper section (Package) click com.android.settings, while in the Class field - com.android.settings.UsbSettings. Then you should select the Create Shortcut command to set the synchronization settings that were used before.

Many users of smartphones of any brand often connect their gadget to a computer in order to transfer any files or install something on their phone. But in order to be able to do this, you need to know the correct connection sequence and possible nuances, as well as sources of problems, in order to be ready to solve them as they become available.

How to connect Xiaomi to a computer: standard method

First, connect the phone to the computer via usb and check the simple functionality.

Instruction:

• Insert cables into both connectors;
• Open the top curtain menu on your phone in the notifications tab;
• There should appear a line notifying you of the connection;

• Click on it, and you will go to the connection settings;

• So, the connection may not happen if you have both options disabled, as shown above. Activate the first field "Media device (MTP)" - so you can transfer any data from your phone.

Use the second mode "Camera (PTP)" only when you only need to transfer photos to the PC. So, the computer itself will open the folder with images, and you do not have to search for a long time. But keep in mind that in this mode, the phone does not see folders with other files.

The phone does not see the computer: checking from a PC

Similar to the previously given test can be carried out from a computer. It is possible that the computer did not recognize your smartphone and placed it in a folder with undefined devices.

How to check it:

1. Go to the control panel on the PC;
2. Select the "Hardware and Sound" tab;
3. Next - "Devices and Printers";
4. In the "Media Devices" tab, find the name of your phone model, right-click the menu and click on "Troubleshooting";
5. Further, the computer will detect the presence and absence of problems and offer their solution if necessary;
6. Ready!

On Windows 8/Windows 10, the names of these tabs will be slightly different.

Why Xiaomi does not connect to the computer: reasons

In those. support and service centers often there are questions about the lack of connection of the phone to the computer. There are a number of reasons why the connection may not work, and before asking for help from specialists, make sure that you have checked everything.

The computer does not see Xiaomi phone, because:

• You have a non-original usb cable. For example, you bought it not in the brand's store itself, or it could be a marriage.
• The cable is dirty and contains internal debris. Many people notice that when dealing with a connection problem, they find a lot of small debris or dust in the cable or connector on the computer. Be sure to check your wires and clean them gently with toothpicks if necessary.

To avoid such situations, use special plugs for wires!

• The cable is broken/bent. When the cables are bent, the wires inside them come off, and they can no longer perform their respective functions. In this situation, you will simply need to purchase a new cable;
• Not installed on computers required drivers. Perhaps this is the first time you have connected your phone to a computer in principle, or it is possible that some kind of failure has occurred in the system.
• Using the wrong connection method or incorrect connection itself.

If you are sure that everything is in order, try to follow the further instructions one by one and skip the steps only if you are 100% sure that you did it earlier.

Connecting to a Computer: Installing Drivers

Drivers- this is software that helps the computer understand how the connected gadget / device works and how to “communicate” with it.

All devices have their own drivers: phones, printers, scanners, etc.

It happens that even when you connect the phone for the first time, the drivers are installed by themselves and subsequently updated when necessary. However, if this does not happen, you can do the installation procedure yourself.

Attention! If you have a computer running Windows 8/Windows 10, disable the program's digital signature, i.e. virus protection, before performing the installation, otherwise some processes will be inaccessible to you.

How to install drivers on a computer:

• Conduct a research of sites with software on the Internet and select the most reliable ones (for example, w3bsit3-dns.com);

1. In the section with your smartphone model, find two archives: "MediaTek program" and "Qualcomm program" and download them;
2. In the usual way, unzip these files and put what you get on system disk(usually drive C), so as not to lose or accidentally delete;
3. Restart the computer (on your own, if you have not received a notification of need from the PC itself);

Now try to connect your phone. If he still does not see the computer or you have already installed the drivers, we will try to update them.

Driver update:

• Open the "Device Manager" on the computer;
• Next, open "Portable Devices", where you can find the name of your phone;
• Click on the name of your model and bring up the menu by clicking the right mouse button;
• Select "Update driver";

• If nothing has changed, move on.

Xiaomi does not see the computer: debugging via usb

A method that is often used when solving a connection problem is usb debugging.

USB debugging mode or debugging mode is a kind of change in operating system for some specific purpose. With this function, you can get root rights - user rights, and with them many new features.

With usb debugging you can:

• Detect problems with the phone, which is what we need;
• Test the components of the device;
• Test the operation of any programs;
• Perform a data backup (backup);
• Get more detailed data about the phone and all the processes taking place in it;
• Restore device.

As we can see, root rights allow you to do many interesting and useful things.

How to get user rights and debug via usb:

• Go to "Settings" and then go to "About smartphone" or "About device";
• Find the field where it is written installed version MIUI and click on it up to 7 times;

• If you did everything correctly, a notification will appear about obtaining root rights;
• Now go to "Advanced" or "Advanced Settings" and "For Developers";

• There, find the "Debugging by usb" field and activate it;

How to transfer files via usb

The answer to the question “How to download photos from Xiaomi to computer” is very simple. You will need to go into phone management, select the type of memory: internal or sd card, go there and continue to perform the necessary operations with files.

Xiaomi: computer program or additional file transfer methods

In addition to applications on the phone, there is also a Xiaomi program that can be downloaded to a computer - Mi PC Suite. Its operation allows you to transfer large amounts of files to a PC, see the screen of a smartphone on a computer, without using a usb cable. Mi PC Suite performs the function of a file manager with great features and advanced tools.

Benefits of Mi PC Suite:

The most common way to connect a Xiaomi smartphone to a computer is via USB. This function is used to transfer multimedia files, copy photos, use the gadget as a flash drive. Xiaomi does not see the computer, xiaomi does not sync with the PC. Simply put, xiaomi does not connect to a computer or laptop.

This can happen after updating the phone or changing xiaomi settings. How to make the PC appear in Xiaomi? The answer to this question is in the article.

Causes of problems

The main reason why the computer does not see the phone is not a malfunction in the computer, but the settings in the device. Along with this, the second most important are:

• “wrong” USB cable (non-original cable or damage to the connector, wire);
• lack of drivers on the laptop to connect your phone model;
• system problems associated with a failure in a laptop or Xiaomi;
• Wrong choice of connection method (Xiaomi charges via USB, but cannot connect).

The android application plays an important role here if the user has made an update. In new versions, Xiaomi does not see the computer due to the data protection set by the developers. But first things first. Let's move on to solving problems: what to do if the problem is in a faulty cable.

The problem of connecting a gadget to a laptop is solved in the same way as in a personal computer.

Checking the usb cable

First, let's determine if it is correct USB cable whether it has any external damage. It happens that the connection to Xiaomi is clogged. In this case, it should be carefully and carefully cleaned with a needle, trying not to damage the cables.

Another reason may be a non-native cable, which can only charge the device, but is not suitable for transferring files. In this case, there is only one way out: buy the original USB.

If the problem is not solved, and the computer does not see Xiaomi, just in case, check the health of the PC connectors. You can choose any other USB connector on the back or front of the computer. Sometimes a malfunction south bridge motherboard may cause Out of Service all USB ports. There is only one way out - repair or replace motherboard computer.

The fourth reason why xiaomi does not see the computer may be a connector malfunction on the android. When water gets in or the smartphone falls, the gadget stops responding to connecting devices, “glitches” begin.

In any case, you can try restarting Xiaomi. It also helps, according to user reviews, if you remove the battery from Xiaomi for a few minutes and hold it in your hands.

If you connect the gadget to a computer, and the “charging” mode is displayed on the display screen, you can transfer data between the laptop and Xiaomi. This is not due to a malfunction of the cord, but to the settings of the smartphone.

So, when you connect xiaomi to your computer, the following modes are possible:

• charger,
• MTP data transfer,
• camera (camera) mode.

If the computer does not see the Xiaomi phone via USB, but it is charging, you need to go to the menu Xiaomi settings and in the window that appears, check the box opposite desired function: For example, MTP transmission.

Download drivers

When we connect Xiaomi to a computer, automatic processes are launched. During normal operation of PC programs, the following autorun menu appears:

Xiaomi smartphone autostart does not work in some cases. In this case, the gadget will not be displayed in the laptop. To manual installation drivers for the laptop will need to download 2 files. One of them is a program for Media Tek, the second is Qualcomm. However, you can dig into the drivers for MIUI yourself, since the choice on the Internet is wide, and determine which one is best for your Xiaomi.

Important! When installing files on Windows 8 and 10, you will need to disable driver digital signature verification and restart your computer.

For automatic installation drivers via the Internet, you need to run the command:

Start - Control Panel - System and Security - System - Device Manager - Portable Devices. The following window should appear, in which we click on the icon of your smartphone. To identify problems, why does the computer not see xiaomi, you will need to click, calling the context menu and select the Properties tab. Then check if the device is working properly. If not, removing the connection and then re-installing it may help.

If the problem persists and Xiaomi does not see the computer, you should download the drivers via the Internet. Of the two items in the Properties tab, you will need to select the automatic search for drivers for the device. If you choose manual installation, you will need to specify the path to the folder where the downloaded files are located. In our case, Media Tek and Qualcom. They are usually located in the Downloads folder. Special applications will help establish the connection of Xiaomi to the PC. One of them: the MiPCSuite program. You can download it from the official website of the developer. By installing the program, the user gets the opportunity to synchronize the PC with Xiaomi: and use the function of transferring photos and files.

Turn on debug mode

Sometimes the gadget refuses to interact with the PC due to the fault of new developers Xiaomi versions, 5A, 4x, etc. In this case, the root of the problem why Xiaomi does not see the computer lies in the firmware settings. If Xiaomi does not see the computer after the update, and before that everything worked, to solve the problem of connecting a smartphone, you should delve into the phone settings and enable access to advanced type connection settings.

In the “About Phone” tab, select “Developer Mode” by clicking on the MIUI menu about 7 times, after the entry appears: “You are already a developer”, click on the “Developer Settings” menu, and select “USB Debugging” in the window that appears. After turning on debugging and the results are positive, you can safely use your Xiaomi phone as a drive.

Connecting via terminal

To solve the problem of connecting your Xiaomi phone to a PC, you can use the help of the terminal program by installing the program from Google Play. It's called Terminal Android Emulator.

After installation, connect your smartphone to your computer. Having opened the Terminal program in the line, enter the word su and press Enter. This turns on the super user mode. After, already in the mode root access in the same window enter newline: setprop persist.sys.usb.config mass_storage,adb and click Enter. To apply the changes, you must restart the program by entering the reboot command. This method suitable if you plan to run your smartphone in flash drive mode. To sync Xiaomi with PC in media file transfer mode, in the longest command, replace the word mass_storage with mtp, which means multimedia for short. If the computer does not see files on xiaomi, but is displayed in camera mode? Read more about this.

In camera mode

If Xiaomi connects only in camera mode, then for those who are afraid of "spoiling" Xiaomi, you can use the easiest way. Move files from a laptop or PC to the DCIM folder. And then from there, using the file manager, move it to the right place on the phone. But it is much better to apply the method described above.

Results

Basically, problems with connecting Xiaomi to a computer are not so big and are easily fixed. If none of the above methods worked, and Xiaomi smartphone does not see the computer, there are two options:

• reset all settings to factory settings. When using this function, it is important to remember that a reset will delete all user data: contacts, mail, etc.
• change firmware.

In the latter case, it is important to understand which of them better fit for smartphone. To date, there are two most popular firmware versions:

• stable firmware
• Global Firmware 9.

With the advent of new devices on the technology market, users have a greater choice, determined by their need for something new, interesting, and unknown. With these needs and devices, uninvited guests come to us in the form of bugs, malfunctions, glitches and everything else. In this article, we will try to deal with the question of how to connect a Xiaomi smartphone (in our case, Redmi 4x) to a computer, since it interests the owners of the device very often.

Be prepared to use additional software, in some cases, someone will be forced to reset the device to factory settings and connect to the computer again and again, download “incomprehensible” software, and so on.

Possible causes of problems

Below is a list of possible causes of a problem connecting your phone to a computer:

• Non-original components (specifically USB);
• Lack of drivers;
• Wrong connection method;
• Device system problems and more.

Of course, the above is not full list, in fact, it is much larger. Next, we will try to describe all the ways we know how to solve the problem and try to figure out not only how to connect your device to a computer, but also show you how to make it easier this process. These tips should help even if your laptop or computer can't see your phone.

Connection methods

1 Way - Standard

If when you connect your phone to a PC in the "My Computer" section does not appear desired device or it appears, but the content is missing and the folder is empty, this does not indicate a problem. IN latest firmware the data transfer function is activated only on request, by default only the charging mode is turned on.

At the moment the gadget is connected, a notification about the connection should be displayed at the top, click on it.

If you didn’t have time to “catch” the notification, just lower the curtain down, it will be there, tap on it.

A dialog box appears in front of us, where you can select the connection mode, select "data transfer".

After these manipulations, the smartphone simply must be displayed as a connected device.

Method 2 - Turn on debug mode

The method described above is the simplest, and if it didn’t help you, consider the next option from the same “simple” category. Follow the following path on your phone:

1. Settings;
2. Advanced settings;
3. For developers;
4. Activate "Debugging via USB".

After these steps, connect the gadget to the computer, the connection should be established successfully, then select the data transfer mode - see method 1.

If there is no "For Developers" item in the menu, there are two reasons for that:

1. You have not activated developer mode;
2. This mode blocks the installed antivirus.

To activate the "secret" mode, go to the settings in the item "About phone", click 7 times on the line with MIUI version, after that the mode will be activated and this item will appear in the corresponding section of the menu.

In the case of an antivirus, you need to pause its operation (active protection) in order to see the required menu item.

turn on the MTP method, thanks to which it will be possible to access the phone in the form of a multimedia device. An alternative version of the same action: dial *#*#13491#*#* in the call menu. Such a menu appears on each device, having almost the same appearance, so it does not matter if you have Xiaomi Redmi 5a or Redmi 4x.

Method 3 - Multimedia mode

Alternative option 2 way, if something went wrong. Dial in the call menu *#*#13491#*#* , as soon as you type the last character of this combination, a dialog box should appear. In it, we select the method - MTP, thanks to which it will be possible to access the phone in the form of a multimedia device.

Such a menu appears on each device, having almost the same appearance, so it does not matter if you have Xiaomi Redmi 5a or Redmi 4x.

Method 4 - Update drivers

It is quite possible that the connection problem is not in the phone, but in the PC itself, or rather in the drivers. If you have an original USB cable, then we exclude that the problem is in it. Be sure to try different USB ports on a computer, for example, plug into the connector on the back. If this does not help, then you can immediately try updating the drivers manually.

1. Go to the device manager on the PC;
2. We open the "portable devices" section, your Xiaomi phone should be displayed there;
3. Right-click on the smartphone to call up the menu and select "Update drivers";
4. Choose " Automatic search updated drivers".
5. If the problem has not been fixed or no new versions of the drivers have been found, then we download the drivers ourselves and indicate the path to them.

An alternative to this method is the installation of the Mi PC Suite program, which already contains all the necessary drivers, more details about this program will be written below.

Method 5 - Troubleshoot Connections

Connecting any device to a computer causes several processes at once. Now they are automated, but not always everything goes as it should. For example, if the computer does not see the smartphone even after updating the drivers, then the problem is something else. For such cases, there is a troubleshooting wizard in Windows.

1. We go to the control panel
2. Select "Hardware and Sound"
3. Open "Devices and Printers"
4. In the "Media Devices" section, find the Android device, right-click and select "Troubleshoot";
5. The troubleshooter will check the connection and fix it if possible or make specific recommendations.

It is possible that your smartphone will be defined as an unidentified device and will be in a different section with a different icon. If, when connecting to a PC, there are no new devices, then the problem is not software, you need to check the ports and cable.

6 Way - use the terminal (root)

One of the most effective ways solving a connection problem.

After installation, we connect the phone to the computer and write several commands in the program. It is important to understand that with its help we will access the phone in USB storage mode. Enter the first command and press Enter:

By executing the su command, we enable superuser rights (must be present) and confirm our choice. The next phrase is more complicated:

setprop persist.sys.usb.config mass_storage,adb

then press Enter on the smartphone, that is, the enter button.

If you want to enter the device using the MTP method (as a multimedia device, and not in flash drive mode), then do the same, only with the second command (where mass_storage is replaced by mtp) enter:

setprop persist.sys.usb.config mtp,adb

Remembering such devices as Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus and even Xiaomi Mi Max, you are glad that such problems happen to them extremely rarely, although it is strange why they arose with the fourth redmi. Okay, we understand the issue further, and let the developers who assembled smartphones look for the root of evil.

If the connection is only in camera mode

Having considered the five main ways to solve the problem, I would like to discuss an alternative option, which we attributed separately because of its simplicity and unusualness.

If the phone connects in camera format and not as a storage device, try dragging required files to a folder with photos, and then move them through the phone to the desired sections. But this is already for those who do not want to do anything at all, trying to solve the problem without effort.

Additional software

PC software - Mi PC Suite

The same alternative to the usual installation of drivers, since this software combines many components for successfully synchronizing the gadget with a computer.

Thanks to this program, you will not only connect your smartphone to a PC, but also get additional features:

• Backup and data recovery;
• Create and manage screenshots;
• Access to the Internet of a computer;
• Firmware update;
• File manager.

If after installing the software the connection problem is not resolved, then go to the "Task Manager", find our unidentified cable and phone, click on any of the items, and then follow the standard scheme, that is, "Driver", "Update", specify the path

C:\Users\PCName\AppData\Local\MiPhoneManager\main\Driver

QCustomShortcut - If connection settings are missing

Next, we will talk about a program (not available in the market), thanks to which you will be able to access the connection settings if they disappeared after your first choice, which also happens quite often. In its second field Package set the item com.android.settings, and in the Class field - com.android.settings.UsbSettings. Click the Create Shortcut button and you're done.

Now, by clicking on the shortcut, you will have access to the connection settings.

Third party file transfer programs

If you need to transfer a couple of files from a computer to a phone or vice versa, but the usb connection does not work, you should take a closer look at third-party programs. Can be used for data transfer cloud storage: Yandex disk, cloud mail, Dropbox, Google Drive etc. Then press

It is worth knowing that the transfer large files limited to 4GB, because Xiaomi uses file system fat32.

If the process hangs while copying the file and the transfer does not complete, then try creating on your smartphone separate folder and already copy the necessary file into it.

Results

The main connection problems are in the details, and the first and simple ways their decisions should help in most cases, because sadly, but this happens because of our inattention. If the reason is in the device itself, now you know how to solve them with reliable and proven methods.

It is unlikely that this article will not help someone, and if not a single method really came in handy for you, then the roots of the problem are much deeper than you think, most likely, you will have to put it on the device new firmware through the mode, but this is a separate topic for discussion. We hope you will never need articles on how to connect a Xiaomi smartphone to a computer, but if such a question arises, you can solve it thanks to our article.
