I have an LG5 and I am trying to connect it to android studio. However, Android Studio is not showing my phone under the devices.
What I already did:
What could be the issue: I have a prepaid monthly AT&T phone plan and I elected to not pay an extra $10 to make my phone a mobile hotspot. When I try to switch on "USB tethering," I get an error message on my phone saying that it was unsuccessful and I need to contact AT&T.
I have a suspicion that I need to pay the extra $10 per month (which wouldn't be an issue if that allows me to use my phone as a developer) in order to turn on USB tethering before my phone works. However, I just wanted to check here before I potentially pay $120/yr needlessly.
Do I need to enable USB tethering on my phone in order for Android Studio to recognize it? Is there something else I could try first?
When connected via USB there should be a notification on your phone titled "File transfer" Select that and then change the option from "File transfer" to "Photo transfer"
