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

[Eric Hammond]

I get the same mtp-detect output as acunningham on Samsung Galaxy S3,
Ubuntu 12.04.

I followed the instructions in the howto in the bug description above.
When I attempt to access the mounted directory, it hangs a long time
then reports:

  ls: cannot access /mnt/android: Transport endpoint is not connected

/var/log/syslog shows these messages:

  kernel: [ 5647.472020] usb 2-1.1: reset high-speed USB device number 5
using ehci_hcd

S3's are selling like hotcakes and Ubuntu is increasingly popular.  It
would be super to have them work together.
