It is a "new thing" - I'm running a Nexus 4 with 4.2.2; kernel 3.4.0-...
When I plug in the USB, I'm given two "Connect As" choices: 1. Media Device (MTP) 2. Camera (PTP) The PTP is supposedly for "older systems". Unfortunately, my Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid) system needs non-default software to use either method. And the bluetooth method only lets me send files to the device! Rather frustrating - I'm pretty sure the average user would not be able to figure this stuff out unless they were using a windows system or a Mac. --Bruce On 06/14/2013 07:57 AM, Curt Howland wrote: > On Fri, Jun 14, 2013 at 7:14 AM, Bruce Dawson <j...@codemeta.com> wrote: >> The latest Androids seem to require MTP(?) to transfer files between it >> and a remote system.
