What is this MTP crap? With my Nexus One I could plug into any Windows or Linux machine and transfer files. With my new Nexus 4, uhm nope. Not without hassle. It sounds like MTP doesn't work all that well and you have to upgrade to the new Ubuntu get it. I would bet that the next Google series of phones won't allow any such mounting. Maybe not even any local storage on the phones. Everything on their servers, their "cloud". It's starting to piss me off.
- redacted 14y agoThe Nexus One had removable storage. You connected it, Android unmounted the SD card, and the desktop mounted it - boom no worries. The Nexus 4 cannot unmount its internal storage, so something like MTP is required.
- jebblue 14y agoThat makes sense, still I think the removable sdcard was the way to go, I had more storage at 32 Gigs with my own sdcard before, now with Nexus 4 I can't mount it and it's limited to 1/3 the capacity.
