Bug report
Package name & version you are having issues with or have a request for
I think other KDE distros package these:
kio_mtp
libmtp (already installed)
mtpfs
Used repositories
Defaults
Expected behaviour
When I plug my android phone (Galaxy Nexus on Marshmallow) into my laptop with the USB cable I can browse the internal hard drive with Dolphin.
Actual behaviour
The phone is not recognised.
Steps to reproduce the problem
Install or load the live cd.
Plug an Android phone into a USB port.
Wait for Dolphin to open with your internal storage mounted.
kio_mtp is for old KDE 4 and not needed (or available) with plasma 5 and kio-extras.
Issue cannot be reproduced with multiple android devices tested. In fact the Galaxy nexus was used here until a short while ago with no issues on USB/file sharing.
Make sure your device is setup to connect as file sharing, not connected as charging only.
