PDAnet is able to directly share internet over USB, but it seems limited in what it can do. I can hardly connect to any game servers, steam's download speeds are slow (Figured it may be some Steam port issue but I also have problems with Origin so I'm unsure), and I can't directly connect to other peoples lobbies. I'm using Ver 5.10.5 of Pdanet (and have paid version) and am wondering if anyone knows a possible solution. I tested connection with built in USB tethering and I was able to connect, but I'd rather not blow through the limit for the built in option
I would second this. When I upgraded to the s9 plus everything got slow.... Any solutions?

So far I haven't had any success. With limited testing the hotspot would sometimes be faster for downloading games on Steam, but it's not too reliable for in-game
I got this from the company:
> 1. Uninstall PdaNet+ from your phone
> 2. Open the we browser on the phone and go to http://pdanet.co/install
> tap on the link to the apk file to download and install it.
> 3. Open PdaNet on the phone and tap the "3 dot" menu icon, select "IPv6
> support" from the menu, then select "IPv6 prioritized".
> 4. Enable USB mode and connect PdaNet.
Thank you, I'll try this as soon as I get the chance and report back
Ended up getting faster download speeds when using IPv6, though still had trouble connecting to servers. Think I figured out the problem when playing Torchlight II and it brought up I had a strict NAT. Not sure how to change it for mobile tethering but I'll keep looking
Hey guys, I've searched endlessly online and can't seem to figure out what the problem is. It's not the "optimize battery settings", that's where most of the guides online start with. I've checked the data savings settings and from what I can find there is nothing wrong there either.
I keep android web messages and the whatsapp pc app open on my computer all day so I can coordinate with my guys at work.. but the pc apps keep getting disconnected. I have an odd feeling it has something to do with a wifi timeout, but I can't find any settings for it.
In order to get them to come back alive I have to unlock my phone and open either the whatsapp or android messages.
This is a very recent problem within the past week or two I would say. I don't have any app killing managers or anything like that installed either.
If anyone has any insight I'd greatly appreciate it - thank you!
I've the same problem and already tried to exclude WhatsApp from battery optimizations. I have raised the concern with the support team. I don't think it's related to Wifi connection as it gets connected as soon as WhatsApp is opened on phone. But I've never thought it this way so will try to troubleshoot more now and get back to you.
Hope someone else have a solution.

I'm using Note 9 and having the same issue for a long long time.
You may try to time how long it takes to lose connection - it should be very consistent at 30 minutes.

tried the same thing, adding whatsapp to the exclusion list, not useful.
Try these:
General Management -> Battery
Turn off "Battery life optimiser" & go to Advanced settings, turn off "App power monitor"
It works for me.
I have been facing these problem with my home-wifi and office-wifi. Everything is fine when connected to 4G, but I only have limited data usage. My device's problems started after upgrading of routers. There were other routers which gives perfectly timed notifications when connected. Have been trying to solve it by all the ways I could find on the internet. Finally,today I managed to solve the work-wifi issue temporarily with the adb command method. I cant confirm yet about my home-wifi.
I found the adb workaround in a samsung community forum. (Search in google: S9 delayed notification issue)
It is still a temporary solution and must repeat after reboot and need PC to do.
It requires setting phone to usb debug mode and connecting to it.
The adb command to send is.... adb shell dumpsys deviceidle disable
If you have never used adb before, the instructions are here https://www.xda-developers.com/quickly-install-adb/
Good luck.

Sounds like battery optimization is what's the problem. Is WhatsApp set to "optimized?

I tried turning off all battery optimisations at everywhere I could from inside the phone and even in performance mode too, notifications just wouldnt come in time. Now after turning deviceidle off through adb, notifications seem working even after battery optimising is turned back on.
Hi. I own a LG V40 THINQ Korean . I have been using the device for sometime without any problems until one day I noticed my device could no longer connect to my PC via USB connection, I tried everything to fix the issue including reinstalling all drivers. I also noticed that the USB configuration option in developer options closes immediately I open it (I have attached a video to this effect). Please I need advice on how to solve this issue. Thank you

Sounds like the usb port has gone bad, not unheard of. First I'd try cleaning it with rubbing alcohol and q-tip. Maybe try a can-of-air also. If that doesn't work, you'd have to open it up and replace the usb port.
good luck
(pls don't post same question in 2 places, you won't get an answer faster, and it's just extra work for the mods to clean up).

I have a model V-405QA, rooted. I have developed apps on this phone for over a year. Suddenly, my PC doesn't recognize it. In fact, the Win10 Device Manager doesn't show the USB device at all. I am using the same cables, the same USB port. Power gets through. But nothing else - no data for file xfer, no adb, nothing. And like the OP, when I go into developer options and try to set the USB configuration, nothing happens. I don't even see the flash that is in his screen video - only visual feedback of the item touch. I too am stumped.
PS - I tried plugging in an OTG cable with a thumb drive attached. The drive doesn't get mounted. But I do get a notification that I can tap to change the USB mode. It always comes up as Power Supply. If I select any other option, the dialog goes away but it comes back in the exact same mode.
PPS - I tested in Safe Mode and get the same results. So the implication is that it is not installed apps.
PPPS - After some googling, I see that many, many LG device users - not only V40 - have reported similar issues. This is really no help but displays the scope of the issue.

Did you try a hard reset? Although I don't think that will work

Thanks. I have not yet done a factory reset and likely will not due to the complexity of my setup.
I have cleared cache and Dalvik without any impact.
It is interesting that when I plug in an OTG cable, I see a notification from Android System app that, when tapped, offers to change the USB mode in a dialog. It is always showing Power Supply as the selected choice. If I choose anything else, the dialog goes away, the notification briefly disappears. But when it returns is shows Power Supply. So it is as-if the system is unable or unwilling to process the choice.
This is different from what happens when I plug into my computer. I see nothing happen at all. This includes having Tasker watch for USB connections and flash a message on connect/disconnect.
Add this to the odd behavior of nothing happening at all when I tap USB Configuration in Developer Options.
I have managed to get logcat records for these conditions and I see that at some level the system "sees" the plug/unplug events. I have seen entries like these:
START u0 {cmp=com.android.settings/.deviceinfo.UsbModeChooserActivity (has extras)} from uid 1000
and
AUTORUN] mStateReceiver() : action=android.hardware.usb.action.USB_STATE
I have looked at the manifest for com.android.settings app. There are tons of them as I would expect. And I do see the named activity. But when I try to start that activity (via various means including the am command in a root shell), I get nothing. When I use the pm command in a rooted shell for find which apps resolve the USB_STATE action, I find these:
com.android.providers.media.MtpReceiver in package com.android.providers.media
com.android.settings.lge.usb.UsbSettingsReceiver in package com.android.settings
com.lge.hiddenmenu.ModelProtocol.LGDMReceiver in package com.lge.hiddenmenu
com.lge.opterator.hiddenmenu.ctc.UsbDetactchedReceiver in package com.lge.operator.hiddenmenu
com.lge.sync.StartReceiver in package com.lge.sync
So it seems like there is code to be executed. But it is not always being done and/or it is having no effect.
Thankfully, I have found work-arounds for most of my needs. I use adb over wifi for app debugging and shell operations, an smb server or an smb client to move files around my network. But this is confounding and it does NOT appear to be the USP port hardware - although I did take the time to clean that out (it wasn't really dirty but just to be complete).

As mine is rooted (from the very start), I cannot say I have hands-on doing this. But I googled "android adb wifi without root" and the first results points to this app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=za.co.henry.hsu.adbwirelessbyhenry&hl=en_US&gl=US). So might well be worth a try. The other results might also be helpful.

Thanks alot but this application requires an initial USB connection with a PC for set up. Guess I may have to just change my device as there's no solution for this USB issue

Well that is a catch 22 indeed. Rats! And rooting would require the USB as well (I have not yet tested to see if download mode is working but I have tested to see if an OTG drive can be accessed via TWRP and that seems to fail as well).

Holy smokes! I had considered that perhaps my rooting (and many modifications) were the cause of this problem in my case. Yours makes it clear that either that is not the case or at least there are cases where rooting and such cannot be the cause. I wish I could have been of more help.
At least for file to/from the device, driven from the device, you can employ a File Manager app like X-Plore which provides several means. I use the LAN connection to Windows and other computers on my network with SMB server capabilities. I would not be without it!

Perhaps this is a problem common with LG phones
I also encounter this issue. Tried changing the USB C port to a newer one but it still persists. Hopefully, it isn't caused by a malfunctioned motherboard. I am careless with my phone and I always drop it. Praying this problem will go away after the Android 11 update. LG V50 user here.
Have had this same issue on 2 LG devices now. Tried and Tried all manner of things, but nada. Has there been any solution posted anywhere to share on this? Its honestly hella frustrating

Just had the identical issue on a different variant. Would charge only. Wound up being the USB port.
I hit same issue. Strangely usb-c hub works fine when connected. So I guess hardware is just fine. Looks like some software issue.
Add one more person to this list. Every time I try to change the type of usb connection in developer options, to anything other than photo transfer, which isn't working. The menu blips on the screen and then immediately disappaers before I can select or confirm anything. Without adb this phone is garbage. Trying to hard reset now.

Hard reset does nothing. Junk.
Lg v40 user here aswell, got the same issue, but for mine, sometimes unplugging it or plugging it in the phone will randomly reboot on its own, like a short or something.
Same here (LG Wing), incl. not being able to select USB connection type in Developer options; I recorded the Developer options screen when selecting USB configuration and this is what shortly pops-up -- no clue why exactly MIDI device has to be the default option...
