The original bug was that it was repeatedly popping up the error dialog saying it could not mount it. In this case it is mounting it successfully but for some reason is remounting it, as if you lost connection.
If you watch the syslog you may see if it actually sees the connection dropping and reconnecting. Dumb question but have you tried a different cable. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gvfs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1160847 Title: gvfs should not attempt to mount MTP devices in an endless loop (cluttering your desktop with messages) Status in gvfs package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: trying to use phablet-flash in raring to flash a phone or tablet (or when just running adb shell or adb root from commandline) causes a constant reconnect loop of an attached mtp device. it seems adb and gvfs try concurrently to establish a connection which results in permanent reconnects and a huge amount of mtp popup windows on the desktop PC.
