[Q] Has anyone got MTP working with Ubuntu 12.10?

[mitchelln]

So frustrating that USB disk mode has been removed by Google. Just downright disrespectful to then choose a protocol that is poorly supported on the very platform they are leveraging!

Anyway, end of rant Has anyone got MTP working on Ubuntu 12.10? I'm beating my head against it with absolutely no success. mtp-detect finds my Note 2 and gives the IDs, but no matter what I put in the udev 99-android.rules it just won't connect.

I know there are alternatives like ftp server, DroidSSH and Samba server, but these are really slow - typically 1.2MB/sec, which is just too slow for video files.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Enable UMS mode

I know this has been posted elsewhere, but took me ages to find it so I'm sure others will have not seen it either.

This enables UMS mode for the SGS 3. However, it also works great on my N7105. End of my MTP worries!

This FAQ should be made a sticky!

Use 51 instead of 99

Just use 51-android.rules instead

PS
mtp-detect will be Very slow

Believe me, I've tried it. Absolutely nothing will get this working with Ubuntu 12.10. I haven't seen anyone get this to work.

The above UMS mode switch solves the problem anyway.

Theoretically it shouldn't work cuz it is related to mounting. Note 2 doesn't mount. It enables file transfer through mtp and usb debugging.
Mtp+usb debugging not equal to mounting.
