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

[Robin Sheat]

On standard precise with a gnex running 4.1, I get:

$ time mtp-detect
libmtp version: 1.1.3

Listing raw device(s)
Device 0 (VID=04e8 and PID=685c) is a Samsung Galaxy Nexus/Galaxy S i9000/i9250, Android 4.0 updates.
   Found 1 device(s):
   Samsung: Galaxy Nexus/Galaxy S i9000/i9250, Android 4.0 updates (04e8:685c) @ bus 2, dev 13
Attempting to connect device(s)
...a long pause ...
...a lot of info...
OK.

real	2m21.960s
user	0m3.436s
sys	0m3.156s

mostly guessing, but I wonder if this time taken is longer than any
reasonable timeout and is causing things to fail. My phone has been used
for some time now, so is full of junk. I seem to remember having it work
once or twice when I first got it, so perhaps something in libmtp is
going through and indexing _everything_, which takes too long.

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.
