Samsung Galaxy A17: Fix USB Not Detected on PC Guide

Troubleshooting USB Connection Issues

• 📲 Slide down from the top of the screen and tap the USB notification to select "File Transfer" or "Transferring files" mode.

Advanced Troubleshooting Steps

• 🔌 For Smart Switch users, unplug and replug the USB cable while the phone is unlocked, and look for a connection prompt.

Developer Options and USB Debugging
