Hello, after updating my XA2 to Rokua, plugging in the USB cable to my (Linux Ubuntu) Laptop does not allow for MTP and USB Tethering any more. The Phone only charges. When I used the option of either MTP or Tethering Mode in preferences nothing happened. The phone was always charging. After i entered: "systemctl restart usb-moded" in the terminal, the different options for usb handling appear and the phone says somethin like "using MTP mode" but it doesn't work either.

I have to admit, I did change the system before, to enable usb tethering, by: installing: "usb-moded-connection-sharing-android-connman-config.rpm" and changing the config files according to: https://together.jolla.com/question/191787/3005-usb-tethering-not-working-anymore/?answer=197756#post-id-197756

Anything I can do about it?

I'm having the same issue with my Xperia X upgraded to Rokua, but with a Windows 10 PC and without having changed any configuration files on the PC. Settings USB shows "Charging only mode in use" regardless of what the default USB mode is set to.

@Oldmil: Did you read this: https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/203548266#usb-inst ?

Thanks. Did that, and now I'm getting the choice to pick which mode; however now the phone has stopped charging entirely. I'm going to reboot it and see if I can get it back to the charging only mode.

I also fought with it and I managed to solve the problem;)

in those files where you have changed the configuration, you must replace it as it was originally. connection_sharing-android-connman.ini and main.ini

then do systemctl restart connman.service and finally systemctl restart usb-moded

The USB tethering is not fully supported by Sailfish OS. This implies that there is no GUI for it. Furthermore, USB tethering was partially broken on 3.1.0 and 3.2.1. OS update 3.3.0/Rokua fixed it so that it is functional again (but still lacking the GUI part).

The instructions for using the USB tethering are here: https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/203548266#usb-inst

There are some known issues with MTP mode and Linux computers. Windows + MTP works properly.
