Re: [LUG] Samsung Galaxy MTP

KDE-Connect is brilliant for KDE users. It exposes the user file system of android devices in KDE file managers. It also allows you to control your computer pointer with your phone touchscreen, provides media playback controls and allows you to share clipboard history between phone and PC and, my favorite, allows you to view your phone notifications in KDE system tray. Apparently call answering is coming soon. Which seems awesome.
Also Xplore file manager has a neat share-over-LAN feature that is completely painless to use.

HI All 
I have had to swop my HTC Desire for an underpowered Samsung Galaxy
Device 0 (VID=04e8 and PID=6860) as I am a very occasional user of the
Mob but like one for Music and podcasts. Wief got a new Tesco deal that
came with a Samsung TAb7" liked the Tab, but not the phone.

So I plug it in my Fedora pc and can only connect as Camera. No good for
MTP?

The command line android-connedt disconneect are perhaps clunky, but a
good result!
