Accessing Samsung Galaxy s3 sdcard

Hello,

The Samsung Galaxy s3 android phone uses MTP or PTP for data transfer.

I am using Fedora 17 with KDE.

When I plug the phone in, the device notifier appears, I click open with file manager which opens Dolphin.
I am presented with two directories.

1) Samsung GT-P7310/P7510/N7000/I9100/Galaxy Tab 7.7/10.1/S2/Nexus/Note
2) USB PTP Class Camera

The first folder is empty.
The second folder shows

1)store_00010001
2)store_00020002

The first folder is the internal memory on the phone.
The second folder is empty

I the decided to try mtpfs, i made a directory under /mnt
changed permissions so that a normal user can access the folder

[root@desktop mnt]# pwd
/mnt
[root@desktop mnt]# mkdir phone
[root@desktop mnt]# chown -R allix:500 /mnt/phone

Then I ran mtpfs as normal user

[allix@desktop mnt]$ mtpfs phone/
Listing raw device(s)
Device 0 (VID=04e8 and PID=6860) is a Samsung GT-P7310/P7510/N7000/I9100/Galaxy Tab 7.7/10.1/S2/Nexus/Note.
Found 1 device(s):
Samsung: GT-P7310/P7510/N7000/I9100/Galaxy Tab 7.7/10.1/S2/Nexus/Note (04e8:6860) @ bus 2, dev 11
Attempting to connect device
PTP_ERROR_IO: failed to open session, trying again after resetting USB interface
LIBMTP libusb: Attempt to reset device
Listing File Information on Device with name: GT-I9300
[allix@desktop mnt]$ ls
drive1 drive2 drive3 phone

[allix@desktop mnt]$ cd phone/
[allix@desktop phone]$ ls
Card Phone Playlists
[allix@desktop phone]$ cd Card/

The folder Card is the sdcard, the contents at the root of the card was listed, however when I went into a directory, I could not see the files.

Does anyone have any ideas.

Thanks in Advance

I have noticed that Amarok can see mp3s stored on the sd card

Re: Accessing Samsung Galaxy s3 sdcard

I've got the exact same problem here.
I'm able to mount with mtpfs but most folders are empty.
It's bean a while since I've had any hardware support issues with Linux.
I adore that somewhat forgotten bittersweet feeling :-D

Might have to set the phone to enable "USB debugging" or something like that. I've run into that before.
