Nougat 7.1.2 debug issue

Question

I recently enrolled my Pixel XL for Android Beta program. After the update to Nougat 7.1.2 my device is not detected properly in Android Studio Linux.

I get something like this in AVD monitor

HT6A70201284 [null] 

But it was working on my windows desktop, I tried it on other linux devices and got the same issue. I came across a post mentioning about the driver support, so I updated my SDK to Android O preview, but it had no use.

Another strange behavior is when I turn of the debug mode in phone, it gets detected by my linux system, other posts state the same driver issues, but I am not able to figure out exactly which driver and from where I am supposed to install.

Answer 1

Just a simple solution (Working on Nexus 5X, 7.1.2),

1. Developer options
2. Select USB configurations
3. Choose MTP (Media Transfer Protocol)

OR

If notification panel shows "USB charging this device"

1. Tap on it and just select "Transfer files"
2. Device detected.
