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

[traverlaw]

I'm using Ubuntu 11.10, with a Samsung Galaxy Nexus with Android 4.0.2

I cannot get USB support to work with either Media Device (MTP) which
gives no response at all, or Camera (PTP) which will trigger a camera
icon.  When clicking "open" on the icon, I get a window with a "Galaxy"
title in Nautilus, follwed by a long pause, and the eventual message,
"The folder contents cannot be displayed.  Sorry, could not display all
the contents of "Galaxy": DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply:
Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application
did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply,
the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken."

Thus, I am forced to use "Airdroid" rather than accessing the device in
the normal manner.

Title:
  Mount / Provide access to Android 4 (Ice Cream Sandwich, ICS) MTP
  devices

Status in “udev” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Android 4 will not support anymore usb mass-storage protocol. However,
  there is an easy way to access the files on such devices for advanced
  users using mtp-tools and adjusted udev-rules:
  http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/12/how-to-connect-your-android-ice-
  cream-sandwich-phone-to-ubuntu-for-file-access/ . Ubuntu Precise
  Pangolin (12.04) should be prepared for Android ICS devices and grant
  easy access to music and pictures and other files to all users.
