android phone not showing up when connected
I have a desktop and laptop both running ubuntu 16.04. My android phone is configured as 'MTP' mode when connecting. When connecting the phone to my laptop, ubuntu displays a nice icon on unity launch bar and an entry within nautilus -- it's a happy day scenario.
However, when connecting that android phone to my desktop, nothing happens.
here is some facts when connecting to desktop
> lsusb
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 12d1:1052 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
> mtp-detect
libmtp version: 1.1.10
Listing raw device(s)
Device 0 (VID=12d1 and PID=1052) is a Huawei MTP device (ID2).
Found 1 device(s):
Huawei: MTP device (ID2) (12d1:1052) @ bus 1, dev 4
> mtp-connect
libmtp version: 1.1.10
Device 0 (VID=12d1 and PID=1052) is a Huawei MTP device (ID2).

Type: GProxyDrive (GProxyVolumeMonitorUDisks2)
It seems to me that my android phone is detected as a valid usb device, but mtp is not connected.
I actually have re-install linux kernal as well, still no luck.
Any idea what I should do ?

To me it seems the hardware and drivers are all good. Are you sure your UID is 1000? Do the ls like thisrun/user/$UID/gvfsinstead of a hard "1000".

Try using these steps:
- Visit the detect Android phone on Ubuntu page and follow its directions
- Change the
USB PC connectionin your phone fromMedia device (MTP)toSend Images (PTP).
I agree its not the regular practice, yet it worked for me quite well. Try if it helps else will try solving it in other ways possible.

The easiest way to solve the "use-case" of transferring files to or from and Android phone to an Ubuntu desktop wherein the out of the box functionality isn't working by default is Android File Transfer for Linux.
It just works!
