Ubuntu – Connecting Galaxy Note: Unable to mount Android Error initializing camera: -53: Could not claim the USB device

androidmtp

I'm running cm9 ics on my Galaxy Note and i tried anything i could find googleing around but to no result, if i look on the phone in usb settings there is the option for mass storage but it's grey and therefore not selectable
I don`t know what the problem is but i saw somwhere that it might be an old version of libmtp so i tried to install libmtp 1.1.3 with ./configure make make install but even after when i try mtp-detect it gives me libmtp 1.1.1 is it normal?
anyway when i run mtp-detect here is what it gives me

libmtp version: 1.1.1

I had a very similar problem until I read this this morning. (kubuntu 12.04. I was unable to transfer music files from Amarok. If I managed to get the device seen by Amarok, attempting to transfer an mp3 would fail on the grounds that the device was full.

On reading this post I checked in muon and libmtp was installed. However mtp-tools was not. On installing that package, it worked.

Just to back up user 66886 - I am unable to see any way of using the device as a mass storage device. However, I think that may have more to do with the upgrade to ICS than a hardware matter. Suffice to say the option to use as a mass storage device seems to be no longer available in Windows either.

Hope this helps
