My Samsung's memory is readable/writeable from the computer.  Just make
sure that it's set to 'Mass Storage' and not 'Samsung Kies' in Settings
-> PC Connection.

A search if 'net indicates this might be what you're looking for;

Settings -> Wireless and network -> USB utilities

Although the page I got that from indicates you may have to disable USB
debugging first.

That sounds as though it's being detected, but not mounted.  Open a
shell and do

$ lsusb

You should be able to spot the 'phone listed amongst the devices
connected.

maybe linux desktop market share in China is so small
that Samsung remove PC connection option in Setting ??

if so, that's too bad

This Android USB thing depends on the version of Android. My old Desire
Z (Android 2.3) worked as a generic USB mass storage. Galaxy S4 with
Android 4.4.2 as an MTP device.

Whats strange in my situation is that sometimes I can browse Galaxys
filesystem in Nautilus, mostly I can't. Haven't figured out the right
incantations to make it work always. Sorry, this doesn't help OP much
but one thing is sure. Some people have MTP working.

Something about MTP

So, it detects the 'phone.  That good.  Of you're lucky, it'll be
possible to mount it.  However, taking note of what others have written,
you may have to do some reading first.

We're rapidly approaching the limits of my understanding of this area.
When I had problems with my (previous) 'phone, I ended up buying a cheap
USB BlueTooth dongle, and using that to get a connection.  If the worst
comes to the worst, perhaps that's an option you could explore.

Some Googling suggests that Kies might actually just be using MTP
(Media Transfer Protocol), so try that.

There might also be a way of turning off MTP and force USB Mass
Storage:

Here is the relevant text (minus any propaganda;):
-------------------------------------------------
Transferring files between your Linux box and your Android device
There are a few ways to share files over wifi between your Linux machine and 
your Android device. The first method I used was to set up a web server on my 
CentOS box and then browse to it on the Android. This wasn't an ideal 
solution for a number of reasons, one being that the transfer worked in only 
one direction (from the web server to the Android) and the second being it 
was a solution too complicated for most Android users.

The second solution was much better, an app (free) at play.google.com called 
Software Data Cable. It's essentially an ftp server that runs on Android 
(version 2.1 and above— it was nice of the developers to backport it). Once 
installed, you simply start it running and then you can transfer files back 
and forth between your Android and Linux over wifi. Software Data Cable 
allows you to configure a password to access the server. Still I still don't 
leave it running all the time due to security concerns. It's simple enough 
just to fire it up when needed.

On the Linux side, open up two nautilus windows, one being Panel -> Places -> 
Network Places -> your Android's IP address, the other being your Home 
directory or Desktop or whatever. Then you can transfer files back and forth 
just by dragging and dropping them from one window into the other— in either 
direction. I've also found Software Data Cable to be the easiest way to 
rename files on Android: Right-click on the filename, select Rename, and type 
in the new name. If, in this process, Android gets confused about the 
contents of a local directory, on Android exit that directory to its parent, 
then go back into it. This seems to force a reread of the directory contents, 
bringing the cosmos back to sanity.

It would be nice to be able to use Software Data Cable to set up a file server 
for a group of people. In a sense, it already does this except, with no 
limits on who could download what, people can access files and/or directories 
everywhere, including your confidential information. A proper ftp server 
would institute limits on which users could access which files and 
directories. Perhaps we'll see this further development in future.

There's AirDroid if you have wifi (you don't have to sign up for one of
their accounts, by the way) and you can download apps from the google play
store.

You open AirDroid, which you gives you the phone's ip address. On a
local lan that might look like http://192.168.0.11:8888.  Stick that
into your favorite browser, then browse the contents of your Samsung
(allows file transfer + management).

Works for me.  Has the merit of simplicity if all else fails.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Indulge (R910, Android 2.2.1) phone that 
automagically mounts on Wheezy Xfce when plugged in.  Then metroPCS 
upgraded their cellular network, dropped support for that model, and I 
needed a new phone.


So, I bought a Motorola Moto G (XT1045, Android 4.4.4) from AT&T.  When 
I plugged it in to Wheezy Xfce, nothing happened.  After much STFW, 
RTFM, etc., I learned that I needed to use Media Transfer Protocol:

     https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_Transfer_Protocol


This is available via FUSE on Wheezy.  I installed two Apt packages:

     jmtpfs
     mtp-tools

created a mount directory:

     $HOME/xt1045

added myself to the FUSE group:

     usermod -a -G fuse dpchrist

and figured out how to mount and umount the phone.  (I can't remember if 
I needed to do anything on the phone, and I don't see anything in the 
settings now that looks relevant.)  I put the relevant commands (with 
some simple checks) into a pair of shell scripts.  See the sample 
console session that follows.
