Check if you are trying on a USB 3.0 port and if that's the case, check with a USB 2.0 port. Just a wild catch, but have seen it.

Have you tried your USB cable on another phone or device?  Some USB cables are wired for charging only and don't support device identification and data transfers.  I've run into this a few times. Regards, Lew

cnf kdeconnect  kdeconnect: command not found

There are few options: - What others have suggested, it's called "MTP". GNOME and KDE automatically show the device, when it's plugged and allow to browse files from a phone in their file managers. There are other options to use MTP (see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Media_Transfer_Protocol), although I've never used any of them. On your phone, after plugging in, you must check it's configured for file transfer, not only for charging. - KDEConnect (https://kdeconnect.kde.org/) is an app that you can install on the android device. KDE has it's part installed by default. Under GNOME you can use "GSConnect" extention. There are options to make it work with other DE's: https://www.maketecheasier.com/use-kde-connect-with-mate-ubuntu-debian/ . It works over WIFI, so no cable needed. - Last resort: enable developer options on the phone and use "adb pull" to download files (https://developer.android.com/tools/adb#copyfiles). You can use "adb shell ls /sdcard/DCIM/Camera" to list files.

Its not a fancy phone with internet access. Its a primitive phone with a camera and no touch screen. It does come with a usb to usb c cable but I tried to mount in 15.5 and it was not recognized. CWSIV On Mon, Feb 5, 2024 at 8:27 AM Lew Wolfgang wrote:

Is there a way to mount this phone and download photos off it?

There is nothing in the manual I can find.

It's an Android phone, so why bother mounting it to retrieve photos when you could save them to your Google account and download them directly from there via the web interface? It works for me.

Except I tried on 15.5 under MATE and it did not mount. Perhaps its an android knockoff?? CWSIV On Mon, Feb 5, 2024 at 8:42 AM James Knott wrote:

It doesn't take much to mount an Android phone. Just plug it in with USB and allow data on the phone and then open it on the desktop.
