That isn't true that "Android 4 will not support anymore usb mass- storage protocol" it is up to device maker to provide sdcard slots or "internal sdcard". In that case mass storage will be available.
But more devices do not have sdcard support or sdcard like internal memory. So, those are only accessible using the MTP protocol which needs to be implemented in GVFS to automatically mount in .gvfs users folders. ** Summary changed: - Mount / Provide access to Android 4 (Ice Cream Sandwich, ICS) devices + Mount / Provide access to Android 4 (Ice Cream Sandwich, ICS) MTP devices ** Package changed: udev (Ubuntu) => gvfs (Ubuntu) -- 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/903422 Title: Mount / Provide access to Android 4 (Ice Cream Sandwich, ICS) MTP devices Status in “gvfs” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Android 4 will not support anymore usb mass-storage protocol.
