Bug Description

No mtp filesystem available if wifi is off. (Android cellphone plugged over USB)

--------------------System-----------------
fresh installed and updated elementary OS 0.3.2
Acer notebook

------------Situations-----------------
---wifi is on: wifi is connectet to a router: inet reachable

After i connect my anrdoid phone the device is shown in the file-manager. If i click on it.......i see the files on my phone. :-)

---wifi off: no connection to a router: no inet

I plug my phone into the USB-Port. I open the filebrowser again. I select my phone. It is getting mounted.
But then:
      Empty directory.
      No connection to Server.

I see an empty filemanager with the massage above. :-(

--------------------my investigation: wifi off-----------------

I checkt the mtpfs after mount:

$ mount

I saw the mounted fs under /run/users/1000/gv???/mpt?*.
I entered the directory and all my files was there.

Then i installed the filemanager Thunar and i could open the mtpfs even the wifi was off.....but not with the pantheon-files filemanager.
