My Galaxy S II when connected via USB and accordingly having USB enabled appropriately on the device is not recognized within Dolphin.
I’m on 13.1 and don’t know what else to say except I cannot understand why this device is not recognized when my Galaxy S III is recognized without incident. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!
When you plug the device in, observe what is reported by
dmesg|tail
Most of these devices use the MTP protocol to communicate, and this is still work-in-progress it would seem
These might be helpful to you:
There are other approaches to using kio_mtp (mtp:/) with Dolphin. You may like to research these alternatives:

Apparently the opsys is seeing the device but just not wanting to cooperate otherwise. Is there a package that needs to be installed to make this just work? Thanks again.

You haven’t posted the requested dmesg information. What happens when you attempt to connect to the device with Dolphin using ‘mtp:/’ in the location bar?

Okay, so your device appears as a storage device instead. Do you get notified?
No, no notification which is curious, too.
With the phone connected, observe (as root)
sudo /sbin/fdisk -l
BTW, gmtp didn’t recognize the device either and it’s not the cable because I can interchange my GS III and it’s immediately recognized and gives notification the way it should. FYI

With the setting turned ON in the phone. I forgot when I took the first reading.
As an aside, I am running Android version 2.3.5 on my device. Certain functions are not available for that one but I’m thinking that still the MTP should be working. It works on my Windows 7 laptop right next to the desktop with Linux.
Forget the MTP advice. Some Samsung models use this protocol instead of presenting the storage device on the usb subsystem. Check ‘fdisk -l’ as advised and report back.
You can also observe output from
solid-hardware listen
*In this case connect the Samsung after you have it running

I toggled the USB Storage selection switch in the phone a couple of times here.
You device appears to be being mishandled by usb_modeswitch. The following thread advice may be applicable
ie edit /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf and change ‘DisableSwitching’ entry to this
DisableSwitching=1
See if that makes a difference.
I hate to be dense but I am unable to effectively change this file for lack of apparently permission to do so. I was able to save a copy elsewhere and effect the change there but cannot now copy it back either, it won’t paste. Any final suggestions? Thanks again for your patience.
System files require root privileges to edit.
kdesu kwrite /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf
or if you prefer CLI editor
sudo nano /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf
No luck. Sorry it didn’t work but I’m bushed and heading to bed so I’ll try again tomorrow. Thanks!
As an aside, please chuckenheimer, can you post those computer texts betwen CODE tags. Especialy the fdisk -l table is next to uninterpretable without them. You get them by clicking on the # button in the tool bar of the post editor.
Yes, sir. I knew I had seen them before but wasn’t sure how to go about doing so. Thanks!
