I just had this problem yesterday with Ubuntu 18.04 with all the updates and with a brand new Xiaomi Mi A3. Copying from the phone (Xiaomi Mi A2) wasn't that bad, I was with speeds around 20mb/s but copying the data back to the other phone was unreasonably slow. It would start at around 5mb/s and then quickly drop to around 60kb/s.
To me, enabling the USB Debugging didn't make any difference. To me, Android File Transfer ( https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/11 /android-file-transfer-app-linux ) worked as worked around, I managed to copy the files back at about 10mb/s. Not great, but workable. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gvfs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1792085 Title: MTP not working/very slow on Bionic To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/libmtp/+bug/1792085/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
