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

[Dave Thomas]

CM7 on a Galaxy Nexus or other ICS device? Not going to happen and also
nothing you would want to do.

Simply put, MTP on Ubuntu is broken unless you have very little on your
internal storage. If you wipe it and have few files it wont time out,
but once you actually start using the phone and files build up it will
fail. This is easily confirmed.
