Difficulties to connect to access an Android phone from Kubuntu 16.04

Hi Bas,

Hope this isn't a stupid question but have you tried different cables?
The one that came with my Motorola G3 really does only charge - I can't
get any data connection with it. Other cables work perfectly. Dragging
down from the top of the G3 screen gives me the USB options to transfer
files etc. which mounts both internal and SD storage without doing
anything else or installing anything.
