Android 3.2

Swapnil


Which software version is it using.?

My Nexus S which runs on Android 4.0 has this option. Galaxy is using
MTP protocol which doesn't allow it to mount as USB storage device. I
can mount it on Windows though, but I don't use Windows. So, Ubuntu
should be able to mount as well.

I don't own one so can't test it but there appears to be 2 methods
that generally work for most people I've seen in a quick online
search.

1 - Install MTP - "sudo apt-get install mtp-tools" - a lot of users
advise this works and allows them to mount the device.
2 - Change the device to turn USB debugging on. This reportedly makes
it function as a mass storage device.

Short of getting my hands on one, which doesn't appear likely, let us
know those 2 options go.
