Ubuntu – Ubuntu can’t see the Android phone!

12.04androidusbusb-drive

I'm on Ubuntu 12.04, and trying to connect my Samsung galaxy Gio (Model # GT-S5660M) with Android 2.3.4 (GINGERBREAD_MR1). When I plug my phone in,via USB, it will charge, however Ubuntu will not recognize it in any other way. I tried the MTP programs in the software center however they both turned out to be of no use (neither detected the phone).

So my question is, How can I make it so I can, at least, transfer audio and videos to the micro SD in my phone with out removing it and using an adapter?

I am using Android 4.0.4 with Sony experia.This solution work out for me.

Open a terminal in ubuntu 12.04

then 

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:langdalepl/gvfs-mtp
sudo apt-get update

then open software update and install available updates. Then restart the system and after restart your Android phone internal data storage will be listed in the devices automatically.
