This patch is wrong; it would give every user in the plugdev group permission to use every single USB device.

The rule should only affect your phone itself.

Identify which usb device your phone is (lsusb), and then run:

  udevinfo -a -p /class/usb_device/usbdevX.Y

replacing X.Y with the number of the bus and device, e.g. if I have:

Bus 002 Device 003: ID 045e:008c Microsoft Corp. Wireless Intellimouse Explorer 2.0

Then I would look at usbdev2.3

Attach the output of that command.
