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

[Andreas Hasenack]

Just out of curiosity, I downloaded fedora 17 64bits live cd and gave it
a try regarding mtp-detect. It completes in 0.25s:

[liveuser at localhost ~]$ 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.

The package there is libmtp-examples-1.1.3-2.fc17

I also just updated the phone from android 4.0.4 to android 4.1.1, and
it still times out in ubuntu.

  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:

  Pangolin (12.04) should be prepared for Android ICS devices and grant
  easy access to music and pictures and other files to all users.
