[Bug 903422] Re: Mount / Provide access to Android 4.x (Ice Cream Sandwich and above) MTP devices

[Philip Langdale]

I have been working on native mtp support in gvfs. The details of that
work can be tracked in the linked upstream bug. This will allow Nautilus
to correctly access android devices - it won't help with any of the
other applications, as they have to be rewritten to avoid this bug.

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.
