Procedure to mount and unmount smartphone
________________________________________________________________________

1 cd /mnt

2 go-mtpfs MTPdevice
[After successful mounting, there is no command prompt available.]

3 After finishing work, Terminate 'go-mtpfs MTPdevice' in Pprocess
[After terminating process, command prompt becomes available again.]

4 fusermount -u MTPdevice
________________________________________________________________________

I tested and found that step 4 is necessary, After step 4 I can mount the device again (starting at step 2) without an issue and without rebooting, which is the goal.

If after a few days you try and find that the device won't mount, run step 4, fusermount -u MTPdevice, then start over. Reboot is not necessary.

Running Precise 5.7.1 I tried installing these two pets which all seemed to go properly .

On reboot I do not have any menu entries I can see and when I plug in my Android 4 phone brings up a rox filer window which is empty . Putting files into it does not write the file to the phone.

Delving in it creates a directory I can see for the phone but there is nothing in it . lsusb shows it connected of course.

Using above post I can see the ZTE dierectory but get

Code: Select all

# cd ZTE
# ls
Phone storage  SD card
# cd "SD card"
# ls
ls: cannot open directory .: Input/output error
# cd "Phone storage"
bash: cd: Phone storage: Input/output error
Any help appreciated

I managed to get gmtp to run properly albeit slowly by installing a binary from here
http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/i386/gmtp/download

EDIT Came back to get this again but it has disappeared as has everything "precise"
