MTP sync on LG Spectrum --- kill with extreme prejudice I have an LG Spectrum, running ICS, and I always keep the USB Connection Type on Charge Only. Lately, for some evil reason, whenever I connect the USB cable to a computer, it bloody ignores my setting and decides to do Media Sync (MTP) instead.

I've searched for (and will continue to search for) ways to prevent this, but I've not found much, and what I did find didn't apply to my situation. (E.g., I couldn't Stop MTP in Running Apps, because it wasn't there.)

I don't know the MTP is, but I want it off my phone completely. I don't want the blasted sync. Ever.

Any ideas?
MTP stands for Media Transfer Protocol. Its honestly better than Mass Storage mode because the memory card does not need to be unmounted on the phone for the PC to transfer data. 

If you want to disable it, switch your connectivity to MSC mode first then enable charge only. MTP is a passive protocol that is why it cannot be turned off when it is set by default.
