lol! You never know! There are experiments being done on teleportation. ;) This is kind of interesting! 'jmtpfs mnt' told me 'No mtp devices found.' which led me to check out my phone a little more in detail. I found I could select which mode I wanted it to use and I had been using USB mode all

Good call there, Hendrik! I dont recall it working before, but the sdk I had was ancient - grabbed the latest android SDK and it works great now, best part is I didnt have to set up any udev rules! Only odd thing was I had to uncheck and re-check the 'usb debugging' option in the phone settings

I'm very curious if you can get this to work. I have a Samsung droid that only seems to want to talk mtp with Kies. The only thing linux defines for it is a ttyACM0 device even with jmtpfs - same on Debian wheezy. :/ SWS On Apr 29, 2016 1:27 PM, "KatolaZ" wrote: > On Fri,

Alas, some are, some aren't and it seems to depend on manufacturer. Android is a wild-west with tens of thousands of different devices and every manufacturer, ISP, and their cousin puts their own little tweaks and mods on the kernel and drivers. Highly annoying. SWS On Apr 29, 2016 11:13 AM,

Is it possibly using MTP for file transfers? They used to do plain usb-storage (which I prefered) but now it's all MTP. I use jmtpfs to mount mine. Cheers, chillfan On Friday, April 29, 2016 3:26 PM, fuumind wrote: > I'm trying to connect my android phone to my
