I have encountered the following problem:
Dolphin file manager does not recognise Android device connect for file transfer via USB.
I have been struggling with this for quite a while now

A solution I have found is as follows (works consistently for me):
- Make sure dolphin is closed
- Connect your Android device.
- In your devices USB options (in the notifications area) change the USB function to ‘charging’ or ‘midi’
- then change again to ‘Transfer Media Files’
- Open Dolphin
You should now be connected to your device.
If you have adb
installed, you may use (and hopefully improve) this very crude script:
#!/bin/bash
adb shell svc usb setFunction midi
sleep 2
adb shell svc usb setFunction mtp
sleep 2
(dolphin &)
