Indeed. More surprising, since this behavior goes back at least four years:

Apparently, same 'issues' with HP printers 'not working' (funny, HPLIP has been solid for many years now). I think the OP would be far better served using Windows.

For a long, serious moment I thought that this might be an elaborate troll, but their threads are too few and unevenly spaced, and some just die after one reply... no, this person is quite serious about it, I think. Baffling.
Maybe they just need someone to talk to.

I agree that Linux sees my phone when I use sudo DMESG in the terminal, but everyone else who has looked at this problem says it must be a software problem, because it doesn't show up anywhere else. This phone does not have mass storage, it's not microsoft phone, it's an android system. I had an LG phone before this one and all I would do is to plug it in this same computer and it would download anything I wanted. This is an off brand called an UmiDigi which is not user friendly.

Sorry, but are you truly incapable of understanding and reading things????

Post #44...you were handed a link DIRECTLY TO a page, along with search terms to look up others, to put your Android phone into USB storage mode. Did you not read or understand that??? Do you not pay attention to what you're told? Because at this point, it seems like you are intentionally ignoring things, or have problems that can't be solved on a tech forum.

AGAIN, for the hundredth time: READ YOUR PHONE MANUAL. We are not going to continue to look things up for you, only to have you say something that makes it very clear you haven't read or understood what folks have told you. You were given step-by-step instructions on how to do this on Android 8.1, yet here you say "it's not microsoft phone, it's an android system". It took us over 30 posts to get you to tell us that.

Reporting your posts at this point; the moderators can deal with you.

I'm not sure this thread is helping the OP or has any archival information to assist others.

joeinslw, I'll send you a PM/email and I will try to assist you directly on a one to one basis.

If any member has any new information to add to this thread then please assist. Otherwise posting the same information over and over seems to be confusing the thread and not assisting the Linux community.
