Android MTP some phones are not working

I tested on Xiaome Redmi 9, Samsung Galaxy J2 core and Samsung Galaxy J4+.
The only one that worked perfectly was Galaxy J4+.
I attached two screenshot with just one in English (Ps. the text in the screenshot Redmi 9 are in pt_BR).

I will test it on Manjaro XFCE to see what happens, for now thanks for the help!

I own Redmi phones…which I can speak about…they are working good for me to backup files (gallery files mostly) you have to pick from notifications a menu and change the default charging option for one of the other 2 ( Transfer files - Transfer media (PTP) ) then you will have 2 extra options shown in the file manager (apart from Redmi9).

Hello, @utherbone

I use a Redmi 9 and I purpose try my idea face this problem:

First step: unmount the volume on your computer and disconnect the phone

Step.2:
Reboot the computer and smartphone

Step.3:
Connect the phone a new. Normally, the sharing of files is on

Often, this method is good because the devices upload after the reboot

This solution is not miracle but is until several times a last days ago

That’s happen when the connection is broken between the differents devices, i think

Hello everyone, I had the same problem.
I solved it in the following way:

Before mounting the mobile phone enable file transfer.

Open a terminal and type ‘mtp-detect**’.

If it doesn’t work, type ‘aft-mtp-cli*’.

If it still doesn’t work or says “command not found” follow the instructions below.

I hope this will help you to solve it.

Hi Claudio,

By accident the *astix are includded in the command.
They are there probably from editing the font to italics or bold.

That’s right, in the original message there was the text that said “enfasis”, I edited the post, deleted the text and forgot to remove the asterisks.
