Hi,
I'm on Linux Mint Tricia 19.3, Nemo 4.4.3. samsung J3 phone.
Worked good for me following Jeff suggestion (post #36). Install libmtp 1.1.16. Before, Nemo would take forever building dir of DCIM (if even returning), now it is ok. I can transfer files, delete, whatever, NO root needed. I confirm that : USB debuging have NOTHING to do with speed or access. Works, either way. Phone is almost as fast as a USB key(little slow with huge folders > 500 entries)
Thanks to all, it was so frustrating. I noticed that sometimes there is a "ghost" entry in
/run/user/1000/gvfs$ ls
'mtp:host=%5Busb%3A003%2C015%5D' >>That is a correct entry.

BUT:
-One have to unlock phone screen BEFORE connecting to PC.

These are the console commands that worked for installing 1.1.16: (I haven't try 1.1.17...)

   sudo apt install build-essential pkg-config wget libusb-1.0-0-dev libusb-dev

    wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/libmtp/libmtp/1.1.16/libmtp-1.1.16.tar.gz
    tar xzf libmtp-1.1.16.tar.gz

    cd libmtp-1.1.16

    ./configure
    make
    sudo make install

Before I reinstall mtp-tools (1.1.13-1), maybe have something to do ?

Best regards,
Robert
