This same issue did NOT occur in 14.04 LTS. I've tried a different USB port and a different USB cable with the same results. Below is what is put into the syslog. What should have happened - if anything just this which is the tablet: Aug 16 10:59:14 localhost kernel: [661846.880021] usb 2-1: new high-speed USB device number 28 using ehci-pci Aug 16 10:59:14 localhost kernel: [661847.021290] usb 2-1: New USB device found, idVendor=1949, idProduct=0012 Aug 16 10:59:14 localhost kernel: [661847.021295] usb 2-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 Aug 16 10:59:14 localhost kernel: [661847.021298] usb 2-1: Product: Android Aug 16 10:59:14 localhost kernel: [661847.021300] usb 2-1: Manufacturer: Android Aug 16 10:59:14 localhost kernel: [661847.021303] usb 2-1: SerialNumber: B0850706443401A1 Which is what used to be written in 14.04 whenver I plugged in the tablet or my Samsung phone. One note when the phone is plugged in the below lines are not written to syslog just the typical information above. I've attached a file with what is written to syslog.
