Is there any connection bridge package available between LinuxMint and Android smartphone
I would like to browse through my phone Files

There are many options available.

What version of Android does the phone run? Is it rooted? Are you looking to connect over wireless or USB?

should just work normally. i use fedora and when i plug in my galaxy-s2 two nautilus windows pop-up (one for the fones internal sd-card and one for external sd).

what issues are you having -- maybe show us the dmesg output after you plug in your fone may help us help you troubleshoot.

for wireless transfer i use: sshdroid/andftp/kies air/airdroid/droid vnc/remote rdp lite/...

I connect my phone to the USB cable, and the phone displays the notification, "Charge only."

I touch that notification, select "Disk drive," and touch "Done." The phone then mounts as a USB mass storage device.

When I unmount the phone, I first unmount it from the computer, then go back to the phone and change the connection type to "charge only" before I disconnect the phone from the USB cable.

I'm not saying that this works for all versions of Android; it's just what has worked for my two T-Mobile MyTouch phones.

its Android 4.0.4 version

hope this would be useful

now that i remember i think android 4 forces everything to mount as an mtp device. i think you mite need to install mtpfs.

some more diagnostics would be helpful -- run sudo tail -f /var/log/messages (and hit enter a few times). then plug the fone in and copy-paste the new logs that appear after the blank lines.

this mite help:

user@user1-Lenovo-G570 /var/log $ sudo tail -f /var/log/messages
tail: cannot open `/var/log/messages' for reading: No such file or directory
user@user1-Lenovo-G570 /var/log $

seems like linuxmint disables the log output for some reason.

i think by installing all the mtpfs related stuff will get it to mount.

maybe running something like: will work ?

the output says it is already mounted
but i navigated to the directory but unable to find my phone files
--
user@user1-Lenovo-G570 ~ $ mkdir fone && mtpfs fone
mkdir: cannot create directory `fone': File exists

the directory is empty

i dont see where it says it is already mounted. please show the output of these commands in code tags.

these commands are working, but the problem is , am able to navigate the contents only through command line (and that too by switching to superuser(root)), mount command output regarding mtpfs is shown below
