Hi, I have problems when connecting Android tablets using MTP. I connected to my notebook (openSUSE 12.1, KDE 4.7) several Android phones (Motorola, Samsung, HTC, original ROMs or CyanogenMod, Android 2.X). When connecting those phones, the phone ask in which mode it should be connected to the computer. I choose as an USB mass storage device and it works fine. No problem here. But when I connect Samsung tablet (Android 2.2), it asks nothing and tries connect using Samsung Kies. As I saw Samusng Kies on Windows, it is... IMHO very bad software. :-) And "of course" no Linux support. As far as I know, it uses MTP (media transfer protocol). I see it in Dolphin, I can access the storages, but I see only top-level folders and I see them as empty. I can not copy anything there or to computer. Dolphin does not complain at all, it is just loading folder contents and times out... So it does not work. There seems to by no possibility to connect is as "ordinary" USB flesh disk. Similar situation is when I connect ASUS Transformer (Android 4.0). In its settings I can choose connecting as MTP or camera (PTP). Connecting as camera seems to work. When choosing MTP, I see no new device in Dolphin, nothing. Dmesg says: [ 9405.104385] usb 2-1: Product: ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T [ 9405.104389] usb 2-1: Manufacturer: asus [ 9405.104392] usb 2-1: SerialNumber: C6OKCT054995 [ 9436.664059] usb 2-1: USB disconnect, device number 6 [ 9436.896074] usb 2-1: new high speed USB device number 7 using ehci_hcd [ 9437.024148] usb 2-1: New USB device found, idVendor05, idProductL84 [ 9437.024154] usb 2-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 [ 9437.024159] usb 2-1: Product: ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T [ 9437.024162] usb 2-1: Manufacturer: asus [ 9437.024165] usb 2-1: SerialNumber: ############ According to Wikipedia, Dolphin should support MTP, but for me it does not work. :-( Does MTP (with Android devices) work for You in openSUSE (with KDE)? Do I need any special driver, ...? What do I do wrong? :-) Thank You in advance, Vojtěch

Hi Does this thread help? http://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php?t=475430

Thank You for the link, unfortunately it does not work. :-( I tried all variants of mentioned udev rules, but with no success... It seams as easiest way to run SSH server on my notebook a connect using SFTP from Transformer to notebook over wi-fi. But often I need to connect directly...

Go get ES File Explorer from the Android market. It can connect to lots of different things, including Ubunto One. It can move files back and forth. The only drawback is having to perform these operations from the Tablet rather than the computer.

It looks great, but I'd prefer direct connection. At home I don't have wi-fi, I use Android phone to share internet connection for my notebook (I use USB tethering). I'm affraid, for now seems as the best possibility flash disk (Heh) or SSH (I use AndFTP, but there are many apps allowing this) from tablet to notebook. Thank You for all advices!

As far as I understand it, Samsung devices have particular problems because they don't use standard Android stack, but use proprietary MTP implementation with Microsoft DRM instead. I have a Samsung 10.1

You may want to look at these bug reports, and add your own report if your tablet is different from mine

Thank You for information. The Samsung tablet was not my, I have Transformer (I'll try Malcolm's advice later today). I was just wondering what does (not) work. I think behaviour or Samsung tablet I tried was more similar to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gvfs/+bug/972311/comments/12 Somewhere I read, that root access to tablet should help, but... :-)

I have similar experience, unable to see phone/card files via mtp on my Samsung S3 in linux. I can using android app, AirDroid, or via windoz7.

It will only improve over time I am afraid. 12.2 will be a bit better in accessing them I hope. Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
