I got couple of Android phone and tablet and couple PC running on Mint Debian edition, I find it quite hard to connect the phone to PC, some times it connects no problem, some times the connection failed right after it connected, it wasn't the cable and bad contact I don't know why, any comment ?
I don't have a solution, but I do have a possible workaround.
I have sometimes (rarely) encountered this issue. Most of the time, my Android connects via cable just fine, but occasionally it does not and I cannot open or manage it from a file manager. I have not found any pattern and, natch, intermittent problems are the hardest to troubleshoot.
When this happens, I fall back on Airdroid. I've used it for years, and you do not need an Airdroid account to use it locally.

Thanks for the tip, sometimes simply copy a file direct cable is the best way to do, then to go via network, coz there will be other problem on the network. For instance, I ran Mint on PC A, and it detected both my phone and tablet without problem, I only have to allow the connection on the device to complete the file transfer. Then I moved the HD to PC B and it boots as usual, but no longer able to connect to the phone and tablet, it just keeps connect and disconnect non stop, there may be something with the USB h/w on PC B.
Sorry guys it was a false alarm the problem solved, it was a faulty USB cable, the tiny type C plug is easily to get bad contact won't lock after some use.
