• Finding USB Settings

    On my Samsung S24 FE, with Android 16, I can never find the USB settings
    unless I just use the search function. Using the menus, I fail. Where the heck are they?

    While you seem to have found them with a search, and while I don't
    generally look for them, I just want to helpfully warn you of the
    possibility that there's a good chance that Samsung might hide some USB settings until the phone is actually connected to something by USB.

    Looking it up for you though, I found this, which maybe you can test?
    <https://www.galaxys24manual.com/change-default-usb-configuration-on-galaxy-s24/>

    Plug the phone into a computer using a USB-C cable.
    Swipe down twice to open the full Quick Settings panel.
    Look for a notification that says something like:
    "Charging this device via USB"
    "USB for file transfer"
    Tap that notification (as that is the USB settings menu sometimes).
    You'll should tehn see options such as:
    File transfer (MTP)
    USB tethering
    MIDI
    PTP (photos)
    Charging only

    If you want to change the default USB behavior you may need Developer
    options Settings -> Developer options -> Default USB configuration

    Any of this can be wrong though, as my Galaxy is on Android 13.
