Twice in the last week we've had incidents where I needed to contact my
wife and couldn't. We have cheap crappy cellphones but they are so old
that they don't work well (e.g. won't hold a charge, terrible coverage,
etc) so we don't ever take them with us.
I'm afraid I'm going to have to get

The latest Androids seem to require MTP(?) to transfer files between it
and a remote system. Some do the connection only over bluetooth, some
over the USB cable.
Not all Linux systems support the MTP protocol version required by Android.
I do know that some of the older Linux MTP versions DO NOT

Here's my Linux-related question: What smartphones will I have the least
amount of trouble with if I need/want to connect them with my Linux
computer? Presumably Android, but maybe not. Or possibly
I have an android tablet. I've never used the USB for anything other than
charging. I do everything over WiFi
My videos are on a DLNA/UPnP server on my fileserver. Music I have a DAAP
server. Books I have on Calibre with the web server. I have
samba/nfs/sftp/http servers to access files on

If by connect you mean move photo/movie/sound/ringtone/etc
files between host and phone then I'll echo Curt's response.
My by-now-ancient DroidX2 behaves perfectly with USB
It is a new thing - I'm running a Nexus 4 with 4.2.2; kernel 3.4.0-...
When I plug in the USB, I'm given two Connect As choices:
1. Media Device (MTP)
2. Camera (PTP)
The PTP is supposedly for older systems.
Unfortunately, my Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid) system needs non-default software
to use

This is because some new phones don't have a separate SD

When I plug that into my Linux box, it automounts, but there
is nothing there. Plugging into my work Win7, the iPhone also
automounts, but I get the directory with any photos taken by
the iPhone. [...] A conspiracy?
