When shit hits the fan, I use "adb pull /data/balbla.txt". This WORKS.

And yes. MPT on Android is a piece of shite. I miss good old USB mass 
storage from my GalaxyS1.

BTW: keep the GalaxyS. Today my Nexus4 decided to dump on me, and now I 
cannot even install cyanogenmod on it. The old Sansung is still 
working.  Like a charm.
