I am using Ubuntu 14.04 as well and I have the same problems with my Galaxy S3 mini (Android 4.1.2). If I plug in my phone I get an error message, that the phone can't be mounted. Then a window is opening where the internal and external storage of my phone is shown. I can browse through the folders but I can't open a file.
Rhythmbox only lists a portable player, and if I start syncing music only the internal storage of my phone is used. I can't access the external SD-card using rhythmbox. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libmtp in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1263355 Title: Unable to directly access files of any smartphone from Ubuntu Status in “libmtp” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Unable to access files of Samsung Trend from Nautilus, when you connect device a problem happens: "Unable to mound Android, Unable to open MTP device '[usb:003,003]' " If i try to access files such music or pictures in Android device, i get some errors.
