I’d like to free space as google keeps nagging me to buy data. So I wish to download my photos onto my computer that works under Linux Mint. But the device can’t seem to find them. My system is Mozilla and they have said no device exists for Fairphone.
What should I do?
Hi
do you connect the phone via USB working cable? The phone should show a picker from which you can choose to share files/debug via usb/…
Yes I do. But nothing shows up.
Put it into another USB whole and a fairphone folder comes up yet states “empty”
The message is in French as I am in France. "Impossible de monter Fairphone 5SG.
Impossible d’ouvrir le périphérique MTP “001,020”
mtp is the right protocol.
1 try all usb.
2 Which linux os version do you have? try running dmesg from terminal and see if there is some warning there
my terminal says:
[767646.403674] usb 1-3: new high-speed USB device number 28 using xhci_hcd
[767646.530600] usb 1-3: New USB device found, idVendor=18d1, idProduct=4ee1, bcdDevice= 4.19
[767646.530637] usb 1-3: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
[767646.530646] usb 1-3: Product: Fairphone 4 5G
[767646.530654] usb 1-3: Manufacturer: Fairphone
[767646.530660] usb 1-3: SerialNumber: xxxxx
It’s Mint. Works well
When you connect the phone, you need to specify thaty you want to transfer data and not only charge the device. There should be a notification from the system displaying something like “charging the device via USB - Tap here to change” and when you tap on that you can say that you want to transfer data.
Edit: I just saw that @Max_Cits already suggested that. @Cyril_de_koning maybe look under the silent notifications
Hope to find the silent notifications. I will try. I get a fairphone page but none of those offers come up. It’s empty
I have downloaded Libmtp. But no difference
you can use x-plore or similar app to transfer files via wifi, or syncthing
What do you mean, you get a “Fairphone page”?
Alternatively you could open the settings app, while the phone is connected and navigate to connected devices (the second from the top) and then USB. There you can change the USB mode
Salut,
Il faut connecter ton fairphone à l’USB de ton pc, aller dans le muni des configurations à “appareil connecté” et choisir “utiliser la connexion pour transfert de donnée”
J’ai linux mint et cela marche de cette maniere.
Si ton fairphone n’est pas connecté a l’USB du PC, le menu n 'apparaît pas.

Please stay in english in this topic
And where os thé french version ?
Thanks
A message comes up with Fairphone on it, but adds the file is empty
It litterelly says Impossible to feature the Fairphone files.
No files found.
It’s Linux Mint 22.2 Cinnamon
The answer is in French and i can’t get buy it : "Impossible d’afficher le contenu du dossier. L’objet n’existe pas à l’emplacement “/org/gtk/vfs/mount/1”
So roughly translated : Impossible to feature the elements of the file. The object does not exist in the spot “/org/gtk/vfs/mount/1”
