Got this strange problem. Every time when I connect G4 with my Win7 PC via USB, the "Moto G(4)" icon shows up but it is empty under it. I will have to go to the Developer options to click on MTP again (even it is already set to MTP) to show the internal storage. This is really annoying extra step. Anyone knows what is the problem and how to fix it? Thanks.

[Update] Finally got it worked by following this thread:

That setting in the developer options doesn't do anything. Every time you plug it in, it will default to charging and you have to click MTP in the notification. It was that way in the G3 also.

This is really annoying. Is there anyway to change it defaulted to MTP?

It is a new security feature of Android since lolipop. It is to prevent malware on your pc targeting android connected phones. So that if you were charging it couldn't switch to connect storage without explicit approval on the phone itself.
