Re: [LUG] Samsung Galaxy phone

 

Thanks, as long as I can read the sd card without removing from the phone I would be 
happy. With my blackberrys the sd card just appears as an external drive, I just 
wondered why the same did not happen with an android device.

I install the app AndFtp (from the play store) on the phone and just use
SSH to swap files. USB debugging is good to turn on, and my Mint 9 just
works when connected but as a Camera type so it opens up FSpot. Fedora
14 just does nothing.
