An hour seems like a long time?
On Android (at least, on my device) the USB port is always charging-only. For data transfer you must always unlock the phone and accept a notification for MTP/PTP mode.
- bilbo0s 8y agoYou don't have to hack into an Android phone if you are the police. The data is available to you in multiple places. (Including the phone.) That's why this semi-adversarial relationship exists principally between Apple and Law Enforcement. Not necessarily Google or Samsung and Law Enforcement.

Well this is obviously an exploit, not a feature. You have to unlock and specifically trust a computer if you plug your phone into one. The situation on Android isn't as cut and dry as you make it, you can for example plug USB headphones in and they will work without unlocking the device.
