I have pi B+ with a new install of rasbian today
I am trying to connect my Samsung Galaxy Edge 6 with a usb cable. I have previously connected the phone to a linux pc using the same cable with no problems. I have tried this with two different cables.
I am following the instructions given here.
However, when I connect to the Pi it goes into a loop, creating error dialogs like the one shown in the image below.
The errors are created continuously as long as the phone is connected. Occasionally, I get a dialog similar to:
As the error refers to udev, I have check the udev directory and as each error dialog appears a file is created in dev/bus/usb/001, and then is deleted immediately.
The problem seems similar to the on described here and here and so I have installed mtp-tools and libmtp-runtime.
When I run lsusb with phone connected I don't get an entry.
Can anyone please help me to find a solution to my problem?
EDIT 20190107 =================================================
This is what I know so far:
I now have a brand new, raw and unmodified installation of Rasbian.
I have two android devices, an S6 phone and a Galaxy tablet. I have multiple cables and have tested both devices on both my Unix platform and my Pi.
S6 phone Galaxy tablet
Unix both usb ports Y Y
Unix both usb cables Y Y
Pi both usb ports N Y
Pi both usb cables N Y
(Y=works, N=does not work)
So, for some reason the phone is 'seen' on the unix box, but not on the Pi
