[Bug 903422] Re: Mount / Provide access to Android 4 (Ice Cream Sandwich, ICS) MTP devices

[Mark Dwyer]

I have ICS with stock ROM on GSII (Sprint: Epic 4g Touch) with 12.04
LTS. When I plug the phone in I get the 2 nonsearchable top folders
described above (see #38)

gphoto2://[usb:002,022]/store_00010001
gphoto2://[usb:002,022]/store_00020002

Followed the omgubuntu directions referred to above, android-connect command does not work. mtp-detect returns:
VID = 04e8
PID = 6860

After a few minutes a volume icon shows up on the desktop, but trying to open it yields the error:
Error: Error when getting information for file '/media/GSII': Transport endpoint is not connected.

gmtp fails as well.

I have an external SD card in my phone, but I do not have a USB option
under Settings>Wireless and Network > More.

Phone Dialer: *#7284# has a USB option, should be set to USB/PDA This
does not seem to help either. Tried switching and resetting back to no
avail.

Debug mode is on.

  there is an easy way to access the files on such devices for advanced
  users using mtp-tools and adjusted udev-rules:

  Pangolin (12.04) should be prepared for Android ICS devices and grant
  easy access to music and pictures and other files to all users.
