[Bug 903422] Re: Ubuntu does not work with Samsung Galaxy phones (needs update to libmtp)

[Philip Langdale]

Mio,

USB3: There are still compatibility issues with usb2 devices plugged
into usb3 depending on the physical controller and kernel used. So I'm
not surprised to hear there are problems. This is low level and not
related to mtp.

Copying folders: Yes, this doesn't work, due to how Nautilus handles the
operation. It should internally transform it into mkdir and individual
file copies, but it does not, and it's not possible for a gvfs backend
to sanely emulate this behaviour. I should change it to fail the
operation, rather than make an empty directory. It's on my list.

Moving files: This is an optional feature in the MTP spec and no device
supports it - the only thing you can do is move to PC and back again.
Yes, it's ridiculous, but there you go.

Thanks for the feedback!

Bug description:
  If your device is not supported please open a new bug specifying:
  * device in question (make / model / release)
  * output of `mtp-detect` when the device is attached
  * output of `lsusb` when the device is attached

  This bug will be a catch all for recent Samsung Nexus & Nexus 7, or
  please comment what other recent Andorid 4.x devices are affected.

  Yes there is a lag in providing support for the most recent devices.
  As soon as the fixes are available, SRUs will follow.
