[Bug 485465] [NEW] Android phone is seen as USB storage but will not mount

[teledyn]

Public bug reported:

Using an Android phone, the LG 'Eve' GW620R, the phone system option is
set to always mount USB as a mass storage device.  The device itself,
however, fails to appear in the /media mounts, and if I attempt a manual
mount of the /dev/sdc (with or without partition number) I get a "no
media found" error

sudo mount /dev/sd /mnt/eve/
sda   sda1  sda2  sdb   sdb1  sdc   

when connected, dmesg reports
