#14340 — How do I read pictures from my Gusto 3 cell phone?

Hi All,

FC21, x64, Xfce

Got me a shiny new Samsung B311 Gusto 3 cell phone.  A number of people 
told me that it is non-proprietary.   All I had to do is plug in the USB 
and I could read my picture directly.

When I plug in, I get a notice that I have attached to a new network, 
but I can not find any additional drives (flash card I presume) to read.

What am I doing wrong?

Many thanks,
-T

Do you use the Nautilus file browser? I think it's for Gnome but should
work with XFCE too. When started the new device should show in the left
pane of it.

If not, type

mount

in a shell and see if it shows up there. If not there is a problem with
USB and mounting devices.

The OP can also look to see what (if anything) shows up under /dev/sd* and/or
look in his syslog to see what USB device mumblings are there. *IF* the phone
is presenting some sort of access to its USB disk it will show up there. Note:
since it is not possible to mount a disk *twice*, the phone either has to
create a 'fake' USB disk (and provide something a nfsd-ish server logic) or
shut itself down when the USB cable is jacked in (not likely for a *phone*,
but it is what low-end cameras and mp3 players do when they present themselves
as a USB disk).

Another option could be to access the phone's Linux directly, using adb
(Android Debug Bridge) on the PC's Linux. That way he can log in into the
Samsung, getting a shell on the Linux running on it. Or use "push" and
"pull" to transfer files in either direction.

I won't have access to FC21 for a few days, but on Scientific Linux 6.6
I get

On Scientific Linux, I installed jmtpfs from:

http://nuxref.com/2013/10/15/upgrading-the-mtp-support-on-centos-6/comment-page-1/

# jmtpfs /mnt/Sammy
No mtp devices found.


I wonder if this thing isn't MTP compatible?

The phone identifies itself as a modem, not as disk.
There may be a setting on the phone somewhere to switch between modem 
and disk.

The only setting  could find was USB=USB or USB=NULL (disabled)

Just got word from Samsung tech support that they only support
Windows.  And that the Gusto does not support MTP (Media Transfer
Protocol).  They said to use eMail instead.

Isn't it possible that Android phones identify themselves twice? The
first time with some weird claim, then disconnects. About 30 seconds
later reconnects, and sends ID strings which seem to be correct?  Mine
seems to do so. And just at the moment it does it also vibrates. So
twice. Here a part of my log:

Mar 21 18:08:51 ank kernel: [24863.303266] usb-storage 1-4:1.0: USB Mass Storage device detected

So for some reason the first claim is to be a SCSI CDROM storage... Phone
is actually a LG as printed out.

Follow up:

This from Samsung's tech support:

       We should inform you that, unfortunately the option
       to transfer the pictures on your device to computer
       using USB cable is unavailable.

So apparently, it doesn't even work with Windows.


And the reason the USB cable shows up as a network
interface is because it is a qcaux (Qualcomm Auxiliary Serial
Port Driver) modem:

# lsusb | grep -i sam
      Bus 001 Device 009: ID 04e8:6640 Samsung Electronics Co.,
      Ltd Usb Modem Enumerator
