Hi Group.
Have any of you managed to connect Nexus 7 tablet Android 4.1 based device
to your Open BSD box as a storage to put some mp3s pdfs and other data on
it. I have one but i cant make it act as a storage whan i plug it to my
laptop via usb.
in my messages i have such a statment loged via syslog

There is an ability to change usb connection mode from mtp to cameras and
computers that dont suport mtp but when i switch into it nothing changes. I
can only use a laptop as a charger for tablet.
Best regards.

Hi,
I had previously connected to my Galaxy Nexus with gphoto2, but it
was flaky, I don't remember if I used PTP or MTP. I don't think any
current model Androids will mount as usb storage by design.
Now I am using "Nexus Media Importer" from the google play store and
transferring via usb stick, it's working so far. It doesn't require
root access enabled on your phone. It's simple to make a usb host cable
for the phone and now I can also connect a keyboard and mouse.
A usb host cable has the unconnected pin4 of the micro-usb connected
to gnd-pin5. I think they are also sold on Amazon.
