Comment 10 for bug 1025598

I am a little late to the party, however I briskly read through the majority of the comments on this and the related threads. I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 2, and I had this problem. However, it stems I believe from the MTP, and the new setup from the new USB protocol upon the phone's connection. When plugging mine in I had to switch its function from normal media device(MTP), to Camera(PTP). This is in the notification drop down menu, which comes down from the top of the screen, and on my Samsung Galaxy Note2, I found it was in the topmost window below the general settings horizontal slide toolbar. My Motorola XOOM, which operates on an older OS, w/o MTP, does not have this problem, and I tested it just again to make sure. Thus, the MTP causes problems, and thus Shotwell isn't the cause. Hopefully this helps! Also, I am using Ubuntu 12.04, and to get my Galaxy Note 2 to work I downloaded the latest backported openMTP ppa, with the link enclosed below:

Hope this helps!
