Howdy friends! So, I occasionally connect my Pixel to the MBP and use the "Android File Transfer" app (which admittedly is an utter POS), but the odd thing is, the system will only enumerate the device and pop up the screen with the contents of the phone if I plug it into the 2nd (front most) USB-C port on this 16" M1 Mac Book Pro. If I plug it into either of the other 2 ports I get a message saying cannot connect to device.
Even weirder, I tried to plug and unplug the phone to the rightmost port 3 times in a row and on the 3rd time, the screen flashed pink and the system rebooted. WTF!?
USB ports all seem to work fine with other devices, though I do think there are some bugs with the M1 USB drivers because I'd been trying to solve audio crackling issues with a MOTU interface for months and finally found that connecting the device with a Thunderbolt dongle and Thunderbolt cable solved them all!
Anyone venture to guess why I would have this issue with only being able to plug the phone into 1 of the 3 USB ports?
