I have a desktop and laptop both running ubuntu 16.04. My android phone is configured as 'MTP' mode when connecting. When connecting the phone to my laptop, ubuntu displays a nice icon on unity launch bar and an entry within nautilus -- it's a happy day scenario.



However, when connecting that android phone to my desktop, nothing happens.



here is some facts when connecting to desktop

Bus 001 Device 005: ID 12d1:1052 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.

libmtp version: 1.1.10
Listing raw device(s)
Device 0 (VID=12d1 and PID=1052) is a Huawei MTP device (ID2).

> mtp-connect

Device 0 (VID=12d1 and PID=1052) is a Huawei MTP device (ID2).
Android device detected, assigning default bug flags

> ls /run/user/1000/gvfs

Type: GProxyDrive (GProxyVolumeMonitorUDisks2)


It seems to me that my android phone is detected as a valid usb device, but mtp is not connected.



I actually have re-install linux kernal as well, still no luck.
Any idea what I should do ?

  • To me it seems the hardware and drivers are all good. Are you sure your UID is 1000? Do the ls like this run/user/$UID/gvfs instead of a hard "1000".

  • To me it seems the hardware and drivers are all good. Are you sure your UID is 1000? Do the ls like this run/user/$UID/gvfs instead of a hard "1000".

Try using these steps:



  • Visit the detect Android phone on Ubuntu page and follow its directions

  • Change the USB PC connection in your phone from Media device (MTP) to Send Images (PTP).

I agree its not the regular practice, yet it worked for me quite well. Try if it helps else will try solving it in other ways possible.
