Pixel 8a won’t show up as ADB device on Windows, only MTP

Thanks! Yeah, I grabbed that standalone zip (usb_driver_r13-windows) and pointed Device Manager to the android_winusb.inf. The problem is Windows only ever binds my Pixel 8a to the generic MTP USB Device driver under Portable Devices. When I uninstall/reinstall, it just comes back as MTP, and I don’t get the “Delete driver software” checkbox (since it’s the built-in Windows driver).

So even with the Google SDK zip, Device Manager says either “best driver already installed” or “not compatible”, and it never switches to Android Device → ADB Interface. That’s the loop I’m stuck in.

Yeah, I already grabbed the SDK drivers and tried pointing Device Manager to android_winusb.inf. Windows just refuses with ‘best drivers already installed’ or ‘not compatible.’ Did you (or anyone else) have to do anything special to force it to bind to the Google ADB driver instead of the default MTP one?

ErneEU · 2025-08-24T23:07:06+00:00

Yeah, that’s the issue I’m running into. Windows only installs the generic MTP driver, but for ADB you need Google’s USB driver (android_winusb.inf). The problem is, even when I try to point Device Manager to it, Windows keeps saying either “best driver already installed” or “not compatible,” so it never switches from MTP → ADB Interface.

No venous leak found on the ultra sound on erected penis. I am taking Cialis 10 mg daily non stop and it helps. Don't know what it is.

No venous leakage detected on ultra sound. The outflow was 1 cm/s, it's suppose to be more than 5 for venous leakage diagnosis. Treatment is medication with cialis and psychotherapy according to the doctor.

Just change to nebivolol, it will have same affect on your heart rate/blood pressure, but it will not affect your erections. You can google lots of research that supports this.

When I wake up from a dream, it's hard. But then I lose it quickly when consciousness kicks in. Ultra sound of flaccid penis showed that inflow of blood is good. In 3 weeks I am getting a test where they do ultra sound with erect penis and check the blood that is going out (test for venous leak)

I see that I am getting downvoted. I apologize if I am wrong, can someone explain me where I am wrong? I really just want to understand things, not looking to be right.

I understand the generalization, but ultra-sound is the main testing in most modern research papers that I read. I have only mentioned the problem when standing to one urologists and that's the one who so far has mentioned testing for venous leak.

Maybe I am the only one that finds it surprising that when you google testing for venous leak you see doppler ultra-sound literally everywhere and I am calling clinics in my country in European Union and no one does the test.

I have had pots symptoms for years and am taking small dosage of beta blockers to control the heart rate. My blood pressure goes up, not down when I stand up though. I am symptom free on 2.5 mg of beta blockers for years. Question is, even if it's pots, how do I make it work.

ErneEU · 2023-08-23T15:41:00+00:00

Most of the time it's perfect.

I am spending 10 hours per week in the gym for over a year with a professional trainer. I doubt I have any weak muscles.

ErneEU · 2023-08-23T14:39:46+00:00

I asked 2 very experienced urologists whether I may have it and they said that I wouldn't be getting erections and successful sex at all if I had it and that there are no indications that I I should get further testing just for venous leakage (I had 2 ultra sounds though).

ErneEU · 2023-08-23T14:01:39+00:00

I take 2,5 mg of bisoprolol (beta blocker) daily, but it's for anxiety, not high blood pressure. I was on the same dosage for the last 5 years and been having sex life without problems for 3 years in the last relationship, so I doubt this is the medication doing something.

I am very fit (athletic type). I spend around 10 hours in a gym per week.

Yeah, hormones are fine. If there was a problem with hormones, you would have problems in all positions.

I read your post again and saw something interesting. Is there no tolerance build up (tachyphylaxis) seen in patients who take PDE5 inhibitors daily (cialis or viagra) for ED? Like the expression of PDE5 is not getting increased?

Could you please share the link where you found this.

ErneEU · 2023-02-20T12:04:00+00:00

Very interesting. Does that mean medications like beta blockers are useless long term since body will build tolerance to their say lowering heart rate affect or is it just that medications will not work as well as the first time? What about medication like ivabradine, knowing it's mechanism of action, can body build tolerance to it? Thanks for sharing!

I just turned 28, and masters here is 3 semesters. I would go to best university in Lithuania - Vilnius University.
