I can't load photos stored on the card of my Android device (Samsung Note 8).
When I try to open them the file manager freezes. I tried to copy paste but progress stays at 0 percent.
I'm using Ubuntu 18.04.

On the Phone side:
Ensure device is unlocked
Try changing usb connection options:
- Connect the Samsung Galaxy Note to the computer using the USB cable.
- Touch and drag the notification bar down.
- Touch Connected as a camera.
- Touch the required option (e.g. Media device (MTP)).
On the Ubuntu side:
You may need to install the libmtp packages:
sudo apt install libmtp-common mtp-tools libmtp-dev libmtp-runtime libmtp9
General Troubleshooting
Try a different USB cable
Try a different USB port
Use a powered USB hub

I use Ubuntu 18.04.
I have a Samsung 8, and I have the same problem.
I tried all of the above, and it didn't work.
I deleted about half of my files from my phone, and that solved the problem.
I believe that the problem was too many files on the phone. The reason I believe this is that, over time, as the number of files on the phone increased, it took longer and longer to find them, and eventually it stopped working.
