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

[mlaverdiere]

Here are the requested log files, one when the phone is connected in mtp
mode, the other in ptp mode.

I don't think (I may be wrong) that there is a magic way to detect all
Android devices, as there are so many manufacturers  and products...
Anyway, most Android phones will continue to rely on USB mass storage,
as Android 4/ICS still support this mode when there is an SD card
inserted in the phone (which is usually the case).  Up to now, Galaxy
Nexus is an exception, with very few others so far.

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.
