Ken Heard I don't have Samsung tablet, but I have Samsung Galaxy 5 Android phone and Debian (Sid) detects it when I plug in USB-cable on phone and computer. The phone appears like an USB-stick and then it can be opened file browser and everything can be copy-pasted.

Maybe that is why it works for me on Sid. I seem to have some of those packages installed. It works for you because you have an older version of Android on your phone. In newer versions (I think honeycomb onwards), the support for mass storage is not present. It means that the phone will not act like a usb hard disk when you plug it in. To interact with the storage, you have to use software that can speak the Media Transfer Protocol (or the specific dialect of it that android speaks, I haven't looked at it in any detail). I hope that unchecking USB debugging works. AFAIK, this has nothing to do with accessing the storage. I have two pre-honeycomb phones, and I always leave usb debugging turned on, and I have no problems accessing the phones as usb mass storage devices. You have to explicitly switch the USB connection type (check the notifications after you connect a usb cable) to Mass Storage or Disk Drive (or whatever text your particular phone uses) for it to switch to the mass storage protocol. In Honeycomb+, this option has been removed. Hope this makes it clearer. -- regards, kushal -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

I know I can transfer them by e-mail, but that method is cumbersome. As others have mentioned in this thread, Honeycomb and onwards use MTP as the protocol for communicating with a USB host instead of MSC (mass storage class). I have not found a reliable MTP stack on linux, possibly because the MTP protocol itself is not very general, so treating the device as a filesystem is an abstraction mismatch. Instead, I have install an app called AirDroid on my tablet. This lets me communicate with the tablet via my browser, and supports transferring files that way. It does not give the flexibility of treating the device as a mounted filesystem, but works well enough for my purposes. I know that's not USB or bluetooth, but hopefully it is still suitable. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
