I was able to fix this on Ubuntu 18.04 (bionic), which comes with
libmtp-common=1.1.13 by installing a newer version of libmtp 1.1.16.
Now Ubuntu transfers huge numbers of songs between my phone and laptop
by simply drag-and-drop in Nautilus.
sudo apt install build-essential pkg-config wget libusb-1.0-0-dev libusb-dev
wget
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/libmtp/libmtp/1.1.16/libmtp-1.1.16.tar.gz
tar xzf libmtp-1.1.16.tar.gz
cd libmtp-1.1.16
./configure
make
sudo make install
I didn't even have to uninstall the old version, and also no need for
android-file-transfer or jmtpfs.

Title:
MTP not working/very slow on Bionic
Status in libmtp:
New
Status in gvfs package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Hi, unfortunately (for me) MTP android devices no more work on Ubuntu
18.04.
I have used MTP on 16.04 without problems, but on 18.04 it does not
work. When I connect my Android devices (Samsung A5 and Samsung J3)
and I try to list directories with many files (e.g. /DCIM/Camera) the
window hangs until I disconnect the device. Same issue if I try to
post the command "ls /var/run/1000/gvfs/<MTP-FOLDER>".
I have installed Ubuntu 18.04 on two different machines - an older HP
laptop and a recent DELL laptop - and the issue is present on the all
of them.
I suspect a defect on the "libmtp". I tried many alternative solutions
suggested by the net (e.g. jmtpfs and so on) but anyone worked.
That's all!
