Public bug reported:

I have just bought a Google Nexus 4 phone. The device supports two
transfer modes: MTP and PTP. MTP is the default for this phone.

If MTP is selected (the default), the device is not detected. If I connect the device to a PC running Windows 7, a range of directories are accessible, including Music, Downloads, Pictures etc. This was the behaviour I expected to occur on Ubuntu.
If I select PTP, the device is detected as a camera by Ubuntu. The DCIM and Pictures directories are accessible.

Ubuntu appears therefore not to support the Nexus 4 in MTP mode. I will
append the output of lsusb and mtp-detect.

** Affects: udev (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Confirmed
