Android Studio 3.5.3 debugging on Sony Xperia XA2 Ultra

Question

My Android Studio does not recognize my Xperia XA2 Ultra phone for debugging my app.

I checked that Google USB Driver was installed in the SDK tools of Android Studio. I tried connecting my phone to my laptop in USB 2.0 and USB 3.0. But my phone is connected in MTP mode and I can't find any option on the phone to change it to MSC mode.

Enable Developer options and USB debugging as instructed in [Configure on-device developer options](https://developer.android.com/studio/debug/dev-options) in Android documentation. — Markus Kauppinen, Jan 24 '20 at 15:33
Developer options and USB debugging are enabled on my phone but still it is not recognized by Android Studio. — DevAct, Jan 27 '20 at 07:03
What about a driver from Sony? See: [https://developer.android.com/studio/run/oem-usb](https://developer.android.com/studio/run/oem-usb) — Markus Kauppinen, Jan 27 '20 at 08:50
Windows says that the best driver for my device is already installed. — DevAct, Jan 27 '20 at 14:56

I had the same problem with Sony Xperia XA2 Dual. Finally I found the solution: switch USB preferences to "No data transfer" or "USB tethering" mode.

One sad thing is that you won't be able to simultaneously transfer files and debugging apps (but you have the Device Explorer working as usual).
