Samsung Galaxy S2 not recognised in 11.04

[dhkillian]

Just upgraded to 11.04 Natty Narwhal, and got myself a Samsung Galaxy S2.

Tried connecting via USB in order to sync contacts, photos etc. Got the error:
"Unable to mount SAMSUNG_Android Error initialising camera: -60: Could not lock the device"

Wanted to use the USB storage and USB tethering, so I enabled USB debug mode. So did this on the phone:

Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging

Ubuntu can't see the phone. Then tried:

Settings > Wireless and Network > Tethering and Portable Hotspot Settings > USB Tethering.

Still no joy. Typing "lsusb" in terminal gives me:

So it sees it in lsusb, but nowhere else, so I still can't copy and sync etc.

Anyone come across this problem, and if so, how were you able to solve it. Really grateful for any help.

Kind regards

I just solved this on my phone and copy files successfully. I'm using AT&T version Samsung Galaxy S2 and Asus K401J.

Steps:
1. Go to: Settings ➔ Wireless and network ➔ USB utilities.
2. Connect your phone to your PC using a USB cable.
3. Tap Connect storage to PC.
4. Scroll down from the phone notification bar. Click USB Mass Storage and tap "Connect storage from PC". The android robot will turn from green to orange. (Important step!)
5. From your PC, open the folder to view your files.
6. Copy files between your PC and the memory card.

thank you! does anyone know where the phone book is stored on the Samsung Galaxy S2 and how to copy it to a directory in ubuntu?

you don't need to sync your contacts manually. install google sync and you'll have all the contacts from your phone in your google contacts.

I have a Galaxy S II from Sprint model D-710, there is no option to mount as USB...

I get the camera error, and am unable to see the contents of folders.

Any more ideas?
