Linux with Android MTP

[Amichai Rotman]

May be a stupid question - have you checked if all these are also installed:

mtpfs
mtp-tools

I am running Ubuntu 12.04.3 and own a Samsung Galaxy III (GT-I9300). I gave
up on trying to make it work. it is recognized, but keep stating it is
unable to mount the device.

I use File Expert [1] to move files over WiFi. There is also Air Droid and,
if you really must - Kies Air...

I discovered there is no much use for connecting the phone via USB. It
doesn't even work as it should on Windows...

Is there a specific reason you need to connect via USB?

Good Luck!
