USB connection not working on old tablets Android 4.1
Quote from tiago on 04/02/2025, 18:06After searching through the topics regarding USB issues i believe i ran out of options by now.
I have two very outdated BQ maxwell plus tablets, that work without issues via wireless. Version 2.1.16 installed on the tablets.
Though via USB i cannot connect. On PC having the option on, under “connections” i have zero USB connected. It is only happening with these 2 tablets. I have another android 11 tablet that connects through USB C without isse. Also my ipad connects via cable.
Debbugging turned off, USB mode in “USB storage” , and i can copy files from the PC to the tablets, which was the first thing i did because i had to copy the APK directly to the tablet as the play store doesn´t work anymore in these things.
Tried multiple cables. All of them transfer files between the tablets and the computer but none can connect spacedesk. My PC only has USB 3 ports as far as i know (all blue)
PC version 2.1.35

Some files are missing from the logs you sent. Can you try to send them again using the steps on my previous reply? Also, can you check in Device Manager if there’s any device that has a yellow mark beside it? Thank you!

Quote from tiago on 10/02/2025, 23:10Ran the app as administrator. Followed the steps as mentioned. As for “reproducing the issue” there isn´t much to reproduce because nothing happens when the USB is plugged. I simply get a message on the android device mentioning “before connecting usb cable, enable USB cable android…. etc” and the PC server app sees no USB device connected, though i can open windows explorer and see the system files on the android device. On the device manager i don´t see any yellow marks as in “missing drivers”.
