Nokia's N80 "Data Transfer" USB profile fails to umount

[Bruno de Oliveira Abinader]

Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.20

I have a Nokia N80 smartphone that has a "Data Transfer" USB profile. With this profile I can mount the memory card inside it as a storage device (like a normal USB pendrive). When using Ubuntu Edgy, I could mount/umount it from gnome's menu without problems (phone beeps when umounting was successfull). But now I've upgraded my computer to Ubuntu Feisty and when I try to umount the file system, USB power state still stays at '0', causing an error message on the phone saying that the device wasn't correctly umounted. I have to search for the right device in the /sys/bus/usb/devices and do a 'echo -n 2 > power/state' to get the device working correctly. Is there a way to get it working automatically when I umount the device?

ps: I'm not a HAL expert but I think that the solution for this has to do with .fdi files used by HAL.

[michelem (michele-marcucci)]

I have the same identical problem since the hal packages was upgraded some days ago.

[goto (gotolaunchpad)]

I have the same problem with a N73 and Ubuntu Feisty.

[michelem (michele-marcucci)]

I upgraded to Gutsy Gibbon some days ago and the problem is still there with kernel 2.6.22 (may it is not a kernel related problem)

[Tomas 'tt' Krag (tt)]

I can confirm this behaviour under Gutsy with a nokia 6110 Navigator. The solution for me is to type

eject /dev/sdb

on the command line after umounting

[Tomas 'tt' Krag (tt)]

after upgrading to hardy heron this problem persists except now i need root privileges to eject the device, i.e.

sudo eject /dev/sdb

can anyone point me to some documentation for hal, so that i can try and fix this?

[junior (olav-ekkje)]

Same problem here, it complains that it's been disconnected unsafe. But it doesn't cause me any problems really.. I have a n95, and it's been like this in all Feisty, Gutsy and Hardy.

[kriko (kristjan-ugrin)]

@junior: This might be related, since it sound like mine problem:
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=387459

unfortunately nokia phones seems to be buggy in general, so they need a special entry in unusual_devs.h.
I'll test this patch later and I'll see if it helps my n95, so I can safely remove it. After successfull confirmation, that patch will be commited into vanilla kernel.

It seems to be really nokias problem, because I've tested on many distros - devices just keeps crashing / not safely unmounting (I already ended up with corrupted partition!).
The only solution is to gather data about your device, patch kernel (unusual_devs.h)a and test.

[Daniel T Chen (crimsun)]

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10 beta or later?

[Tomas 'tt' Krag (tt)]

It seems i still have the problem. Now with a Nokia e66 on Intrepid. Exept the "sudo eject /dev/sdc" trick no longer works, so i'm a little bit stuck on this one. Any help would be appreciated.

[Tomas 'tt' Krag (tt)]

As mentioned, this problem persists after upgrading to intrepid. I now have a Nokia E66, which is a fairly new model, and hence there is very little information available as to how this problem affects others.

When I plug in the phone, the phone asks me whether to plug in as mass storage device, pc suite connection or modem, but linux mounts the card correctly whether i make a selection or not.

At this point the output of
$ lsusb -m

and of
$ dmesg

Now i go to nautilus to unmount the device, and this has no effect on dmesg or on the device, but adds this to the lsusb -m output

09:27:24.336: volume_uuid_0331_5F86 property volume.mount_point = ''
09:27:24.368: volume_uuid_0331_5F86 property volume.is_mounted = false

So i try
$ sudo eject /dev/sdc (which used to work with my nokia 6110 phone)

and this command takes 30 seconds to complete and has no effect on lsusb -m, but adds these lines to dmesg output:

[35702.960138] usb 2-2: reset full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3
[35713.220064] usb 2-2: reset full speed USB device using...

[Tomas 'tt' Krag (tt)]

I've done some more tests with my current setup, and if I actually transfer data to my phone while connected via USB, no matter what commands i issue, when i disconnect the phone, and try to use the data i wrote, i get a message from the phone that there is corrupted data on the disk, and it goes off to repair said data. The only way to avoid this seems to be to power down the computer before i disconnect the phone.

I realize this is probably due to bad implementation on nokias side, but i'd really appreciate a way to work around this. I don't mind futsing with sysfs or issuing weird commands, but this is a show-stopper in my daily use of Intrepid.

BTW, what would it take to change the status of this bug from Incomplete?

[Mauro de Carvalho (mauro-dec)]

I get this on my Nokia 5200 too.

Once i leave Data Mode through my phone, NetowrkManager picks it up as a Nokia 5200 ready to be used as a modem. The card is never mounted and never appears. Also, after selecting Data Mode my phone says its transferring data to my PC continuously.

Data transfer works on an older Kernel with no issues whatsoever, same version of HAL.

[Joonas Saarinen (jza)]

I can also confirm this with Hardy and Nokia N73.
