Samsung phone wont connect as USB Storage

AI Thread Summary
When connecting an Android phone running Jellybean to a computer via USB, users may encounter limitations where the device only connects as a media device or offers the Camera (PTP) option, preventing access to USB storage. To resolve this issue, enabling USB debugging is a common suggestion, but it may not always be effective. A potential solution is to keep the phone turned off while connecting it to the computer, as this has worked for some users to ensure that files are recognized and displayed correctly on the computer.

When I connect the phone to the computer via USB cable, it shows that the device is connected as a media device, and when I select for other USB options only Camera(PTP) is available. But I need it to connect as USB storage so I can test run app on my phone. I have tried turning the USB debugging on, but doesn't seen to work. Anyone has a solution?
My phone's android system is Jellybean.

Try keeping the phone turned OFF. See if that works. On some, that is the only way the files show up on computer screen.
 
Hmm thanks Ill try. :D

Thread 'Urgent: Physically repair - or bypass - power button on Asus laptop'

Asus Vivobook S14 flip. The power button is wrecked. Unable to turn it on AT ALL. We can get into how and why it got wrecked later, but suffice to say a kitchen knife was involved: These buttons do want to NOT come off, not like other lappies, where they can snap in and out. And they sure don't go back on. So, in the absence of a longer-term solution that might involve a replacement, is there any way I can activate the power button, like with a paperclip or wire or something? It looks...
