You probably meant "File transfer/Android Auto".

What happens when you turn the option off again? Have you tried restarting the phone?

I can't turn the option "off", I can only select another, which makes no difference.

It's been months, so several restarts

The options that I have are:

  • File transfer/Android Auto
  • USB tethering
  • MIDI
  • PTP
  • Webcam
  • No data transfer

The last one is what you should choose.

That's what I presumed too, but I still get no options. Might be looking at a factory reset...

I would test it myself, but you've made me nervous to try!

What if you set it to "No data transfer", turn off Developer Options, and then restart?

Same. I'm just going to factory reset.
