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

[Jeremy Nickurak]

nLinked's comment is largely irrelevant to this defect, he just turned on
USB mass storage mode on his phone. Not all phones support it, and it has
all sorts of negative side effects (even if you can do it, it means the
phone can't access anything on that storage, potentially including
applications).

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.
