It's fixed in raring. You can test it by using the backported gvfs and libmtp packages in http://launchpad.net/~langdalepl/+archive/gvfs-mtp. No changes in Banshee are needed. The issue with Banshee is that it requires raw libmtp access to the phone, but the gphoto backend automatically grabs hold of it and doesn't let it go even when told to unmount. The new mtp backend in gvfs fixes that. Additionally, a bug in libmtp resulted in libmtp not being able to reopen a device that was released without physically unplugging and plugging it back in. The new libmtp fixes that. You'll also find that after upgrading, you will be able to access your phone storage via nautilus. affects ubuntu/banshee status invalid affects ubuntu/gvfs status fixreleased affects ubuntu/libmtp status fixreleased -- Kind regards, Loong Jin ** Changed in: banshee (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Invalid ** Also affects: gvfs (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Fix Released ** Also affects: libmtp (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to banshee in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/896376 Title: Galaxy Nexus (MTP, phone) and Xoom (MTP, tablet) don't show up in Banshee Status in Banshee Music Player: Incomplete Status in “banshee” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “gvfs” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “libmtp” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: I have a new phone, but it doesn't show up in Banshee.

As the same thing happens with my Xoom tablet (also an Android device), which is included in the "unpatched" libmtp, I think this is a Banshee bug. The MTP plugin is enabled.
