I have a new Android cellphone, my first. This is an HTC Aria. I want to e able to exchange files between this phone and my desktop inux box --oS v11.4 at the moment.
I expected that the phone would be recognized when connected to a USB port, just like any other USB device, but it isn't. I assume there is a way to get openSuSE to detect the phone. Can someone telll me what it is?
Hi,
I plug my Android phone in the usb-port, then I tell the phone to activate the mass storage device and it works.
Same here. With openSUSE 12.1, Samsung Galaxy IIS, Android ICS 4.0.3.
When I plug the USB cable in, the phone pops up a dialog asking if I want to exchange files or access the camera.
I can also confirm that MIT's AndroidInventor works with the same configuration. I made a silly using AI that ran in the phone as I did my stuff. And a later generated package installed automatically.
I suspect the Android version in the phone more than the Linux. After all, if the phone makes itself look like proper generic USB mass storage, Linux is happy. It is when the phone messes up that things go kaplooie.
I think most modern Android phones use MTP instead of emulating a generic storage device. I've seen this at least with HTC Sensation and Google Nexus.
In my case, nothing happens when I connect the Galaxy Nexus but issuing MTP commands somewhat detect the device:
# mtp-detect libmtp version: 1.1.0
Listing raw device(s) Device 0 (VID=04e8 and PID=685c) is UNKNOWN. Please report this VID/PID and the device model to the libmtp development team Found 1 device(s): 04e8:685c @ bus 3, dev 2 Attempting to connect device(s) USB low-level info: Using kernel interface "dummy" bcdUSB: 512 bDeviceClass: 0 bDeviceSubClass: 0 bDeviceProtocol: 0 idVendor: 04e8 idProduct: 685c [...]
Or...

JMTC, Javier
By the way, I just tried to install libmtp 1.1.2 out of curiosity and the phone is now recognized, making the operation of the MTP commands much faster. I just installed the source RPM version from: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/libraries:/c_c++/openSUSE_1... Ciao, Javier
What do you see in /var/log/messages when you attach the telephone?
Yours sincerely,
