Ext**, F2FS et al aren't safe for concurrent mount, so mass storage usb in android used to work by having the phone unmount its own storage.
This obviously played havoc on the phone with any running applications, suspend, and so on. It was the right thing to replace it with an application-level protocol that was safe for both the phone and the PC to use at the same time.
I don't know whether MTP was the right choice but it's okay at least.
Install KDE Connect, it automounts your phone wirelessly and lets you browse via a seamless fuse mount

What phone are you using, a newer one? My Note 4 just works on my Win 7 PeeCee
You're so retarded it's almost ridiculous, click the USB charging button in your notification shade
Nicholas Flores
yes fucking uselessly slow not that you consumer fags will realize you're getting buttfucked
Parker King
Yes.
I don't know why it doesn't work.

What OP is talking about? I keep my lineage updated, and can easily transfer files form my device to my computer using USB. The only thing that changed was the need to manually allow it in the cellphone.

since i initially installed the arch based antergos distro without DE or anything, i sometime later installed these 2 packages, restarted compooter and it just werked
microdofs windings also happens to require a driver to hook up an android device, so it's not much different in that regard..
Mountable storage had it's own issues, but MTP is shit, even compared to that. Google is incapable of innovation, so instead of fixing their shit, they settled for garbage protocol, created by Microsoft (whose own mobile OS tanked because of their sheer incompetence).
Unfortunately, the problem isn't with MTP alone: USB itself is kind of garbage (and so are Linux USB stacks, both Android and desktop). The author of linked tool has researched the reason behind poor speeds and found out, that most applications poll USB devices with fixed delays (which are often stupidly high). But if you try to poll with higher frequency, your USB hardware may get wonky, misbehaving at best and halting the system at worst: code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=75259

> Implying that file transfer does not suck on Windows MTP is a garbage protocol, that does not even support partial file transfer. Microsoft should be subjected to class-action lawsuit for making that failure a de-facto standard.

Just use Amaze to host an FTP server on your phone and enter the address into your PC's file manager.
Fast and convenient.

this thread reminded/encouraged me to finally write something to handle mounting my phone via ftp automatically (and finally make use of avahi which i installed ages ago but never got around to doing anything with) wrote a script just now to mount my phone's ftp server as it becomes available, so i can just hit the 'ftp server' widget, and it shows up as a mount right away, no need to open an ftp client output; $ ./a.sh Server "GT-I9505032FTP032Server" found at "192.168.1.200:2121". Mounted curlftpfs#ftp://192.168.1.200:2121/ at /media/ftp-192.168.1.200 Server "GT-I9505032FTP032Server" has disappeared. script; #!/bin/env bash stdbuf -oL avahi-browse -p --resolve _ftp._tcp |\ while read event; do if [[ "$event" =~ ^= ]]; then name=$(cut -d';' -f4

Seriously, /thread could have been called twice over this. What is wrong with you faggots?

bit nicer; hastebin.com/alihidalox.bash $ ./a.sh Server "GT-I9505 FTP Server" found at "192.168.1.200:2121". Mounted curlftpfs#ftp://192.168.1.200:2121/ at /media/GT-I9505 FTP Server Server "GT-I9505 FTP Server" has disappeared.

Establishing network connection over USB and using WebDAV/FTP/whatever is much faster and more convenient

Smartphone is apparently too smart for you gramps.
