is there a way to turn the "Connected as an installer" message off? i just want it to connect to MTP right away without having to wait 30 seconds first. is there some verizon bloatware that i have to disable to get rid of this?

Under PC Connection in settings uncheck the Ask Upon Connecting box. It will default to whatever you have selected without asking

tried that already. doesn't work. its not the fact that it asks me to choose but the fact that it goes into "Installer" mode, before going into the preconfigured setting, which is MTP. it'll bring up a drive with some install files for LG drivers and VZ software. if i wait about 30 seconds, it goes away on its own and proceeds to connect as MTP.

no one else has this issue? or does no one care?
I have this problem. The phone (Verizon G2) always connects as an installer first, and then if I go to the USB connection options, it'll fall back to whatever I specify in the preferences. This "feature" is what caused me to lose data when my screen died. Because I couldn't interact with the phone, I couldn't switch it to a mode where I could get data off of it.
