It's clear, 

Sound like right to system device problem, not digiKam...

Comment 5 Stephan Karacson 2012-11-01 17:31:01 UTC 
I want to confirm it on my Gentoo system with a canon ixus 300hs.
Downgrade to digikam 2.6.0 works.
Using just Dolphin works.
Using 2.9.0 fails import!
(no system/settings changed)

Comment 6 Bernd Buschinski 2012-11-06 16:53:04 UTC 
I am getting almost the same issue,
automatically detected does not work,

If I manually add it (hitting automatically there too) it works fine

and downgrading to 2.6.0 also make it always work

Comment 8 John 2013-02-19 10:53:56 UTC 
I am getting a similar issue, but can't get the import to work with either automatic or manual detection. 

I'm running Ubuntu 12.10 - Linux (i686) release 3.5.0-23-generic - and Digikam 2.8.0 compiler gcc.

My Samsung Galaxy S1 GT-i9000 is attached and mounted in Nautilus under /media/home/user/ and I can browse it in Nautilus. To view the phone's images I attached the camera folder on the phone as a temporary album using Digikam's Settings - Configure Digikam - Cameras tab - Camera Settings. 

To import the phone's images I set it up under Import - Cameras menu as a Google Nexus / Samsung Galaxy etc phone. I also set it up manually. In both cases the camera storage is auto-detected and I can navigate to the DCIM/Camera sub-folder on the phone. 

When I try to import the images it fails with a "Connection Failed - digikam" dialog: "Failed to connect to the camera. Please make sure it is connected and turned on. Would you like to try again?"

Since I can see the images directly in Digikam's temporary album, it doesn't appear to be a permissions problem.

Comment 9 Stephan Karacson 2013-05-19 17:17:18 UTC 
gwenview can import from my camera without any error, right from the autoplay, digikam 3.1 can't.
Sounds like an digikam problem.
Comment 10 Teemu Rytilahti 2013-12-02 16:50:31 UTC 
Is this still a problem? What does gphoto2 --auto-detect print out? The problem lies (probably) in the fact, that Digikam is using Solid for detecting the devices where-as gphoto2 does it itself, sometimes causing mystical problems...
Comment 11 Stephan Karacson 2013-12-02 18:07:32 UTC 
Still a problem on Gentoo KDE 4.10.5 digikam 3.2.0 libgphoto2 2.5.2-r1.
Camera is accessed and photos can be downloaded/deleted.
But the progressbars of both tasks in digikam never stop working.
"Downloading all and deleting all" even just deletes one picture on camera.
Somehow ptp is broken bad.
Comment 12 Stephan Karacson 2013-12-03 19:12:32 UTC 
Tested digikam 3.5.0.
Progressbar now stops when finished, exept the "delete all deletes just one"-functuion. It still has one remaining progressbar and just deletes one instead all files on camera.
Comment 13 Stephan Karacson 2013-12-25 15:42:03 UTC 
digikam dosen't treat my ptp-camera in a perfect way (see the download-and-delete--all error above).
Sometimes a progress bar remains.
It adds an extra USB ptp-entry in the import/camera menu, below my Canon enty.

But to be honest this bug is called "no import from automaticaly added smartphone"
For me (IXUS 300 HS) this is no longer the case:

The camera shows up in the KDE system-tray
The digikam import-window can be started.
I can download the photos.
I can delete them.
Not at once, but the camera is automatically added and pictures are imported.

Thanks you for the patience with me and merry Christmas.
Comment 14 Philippe ROUBACH 2014-01-11 10:06:00 UTC 
opensuse 13.1 , kde 4.12 , digikam 3.5
Samsung Galaxy SII P , android 4.2.2

i had no more my nokia 5800 xpressmusic
and
my new smartphone Samsung Galaxy SII P , android 4.2.2 can use ptp and mtp
then
i choose with android the protocol ptp
then
i connect the usb cable
then
digikam does not detect any smartphone  nor dolphin
then
i can't test if this bug report is still valid because this bug report is about ptp

in kde settings/digital camera
an "usb ptp camera" is in the list
but
all buttons "test" , "settings" ,  "info"  , are in grey
Comment 15 Philippe ROUBACH 2014-01-11 10:20:39 UTC 
if i add manualy in digikam an usb ptp Class camera
then
i go to import/usb ptp class camera
then
after a while and consuming 50 % cpu power (amd athlon dual core x2 64 5000+)
i can see the DCIM contents

résumé :
- manualy adding a ptp smartphone works
- automatically adding a ptp smarphone does not work
then
no progress for this report
Comment 16 caulier.gilles 2014-01-11 10:26:56 UTC 
Philippe,

in current implementation from git/master (netx 4.0.0-beta2), Import tool have been very improved by Teemu Rytilahti. I recommend to test with this code if possible...

Gilles Caulier
Comment 17 caulier.gilles 2014-06-07 04:21:11 UTC 
Philippe,

digiKam 4.0.0 is out. Can you check this release to see if problem still here ?

Gilles Caulier
Comment 18 Philippe ROUBACH 2014-06-07 12:38:04 UTC 
opensuse x86_64 13.1
kde 4.13.1

same pb as describe in comment #15

no progress !
Comment 19 caulier.gilles 2015-05-12 13:37:06 UTC 
Philippe,

This file still valid using last digiKam 4.9.0 ?

Gilles Caulier
Comment 20 Ben Kohler 2015-10-14 16:42:14 UTC 
I am seeing (what I believe to be) the same symptoms on digikam-4.12.0 with my Nikon Coolpix L840 camera, which is also a PTP camera like these guys' smartphones.  On the terminal from which I launched it, I see:

digikam(18514)/digikam (core): Failed to detect camera with GPhoto2 from Solid information

How would I troubleshoot Solid, and see what hardware it's detecting where?
Comment 21 caulier.gilles 2015-10-16 08:05:51 UTC 
yes, it's sound like a Solid dysfunction...

Gilles Caulier
Comment 22 caulier.gilles 2016-04-08 19:00:28 UTC 
*** Bug 361523 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Comment 23 Mathieu MD 2016-04-29 08:55:42 UTC 
Is "Solid" a gPhoto component? If so, shouldn't we fill a bug report there?

In Digikam 4.14.0, on Debian testing, when I select my Nikon D5500 (which is *not* listed by gphoto2 as a "PTP mode" one) to import photos from, I also get this error message in the console:
digikam(26035)/digikam (core): Failed to detect camera with GPhoto2 from Solid information
Comment 24 caulier.gilles 2016-04-29 09:45:41 UTC 
Probably solid...

Gilles Caulier
Comment 25 Mathieu MD 2016-04-29 12:25:56 UTC 
Well, I opened the bug there: https://github.com/gphoto/libgphoto2/issues/53
Comment 26 Marcus Meissner 2016-05-01 11:07:53 UTC 
Solid is a KDE component (the KDE hardware detection framework).

what does 
gphoto2 --auto-detect 
return in these cases? 

I suspect we are getting a camera from solid that is not yet listed explicitly in libgphoto2, and just detected by PTP class, e.g. "USB PTP Class Camera". 

The digikam code does not handle this case, it is using the USB vendor/product id currently.
Comment 27 Mathieu MD 2016-05-01 12:37:30 UTC 
Thanks Marcus for your explanation.

Here is the output for the D5500:

Model                          Port
----------------------------------------------------------
Nikon DSC D5500                usb:003,010

But Digikam still cannot retrieve photos (error "digikam(15659)/digikam (core): Failed to detect camera with GPhoto2 from Solid information")

While for the Coolpix P610 Gphoto2 is finding absolutely nothing.

So if I understand correctly your supposition:

- for the Coolpix P610, it is not known yet (it is indeed not listed in gphoto2 --list-cameras), so it's normal for it not working (and I cannot even reproduce my bug #361523: it is not listed in Digikam and gphotofs mount a filesystem wich cannot be access: "ls: reading directory 'test_p610/': Protocol error");

- but for the D5500, though, it is known by gphoto2, Digikam fails to work with it, but retrieving photos directly from gphoto2 --get-all-files does work well.
Comment 28 John 2016-05-06 09:25:40 UTC 
Ubuntu 15.10 
Digikam 4.14.0 
Android Lollipop in mtp mode

Smartphone is mounted by gvfsd under the folder: /run/user/1000/gvfs/mtp\:host\=%5Busb%3A001%2C009%5D and is accessible from the CLI and Nautilus, including images in the /Internal Storage/DCIM/Camera folder.

Note that because of a gvfsd or Ubuntu 15.10 bug, Ubuntu may run two instances of gvfsd at boot so to get CLI file access I stopped and restarted a single instance of gvfsd: sudo killall -9 gvfsd

I added the /run/user/1000/gvfs sub-folder as a collection in Digikam (Settings - Configure Digikam) - but there are no images showing in Digikam, although they are visible in CLI and Nautilus and I can see the phone's Camera folder in Digikam's dialog box. I tried adding it as a local share, and as a network share.

The camera shows as auto-detected in the Import - Cameras sub-menu. Selecting it opens the Import dialog box without images and with the error message 'Failed to connect to the camera. Please make sure it is connected properly and turned on.'

This file still valid using last digiKam 5.0.0 ?

Sorry for the delay, I was waiting for DK5 to be available from Debian repositories.

With Digikam 5.1.0, the import from smartphone still fails:

Even i f it's written in French (:-))), the error is in Gphoto, not digiKam. as well...

Report this problem to Gphoto2 team.

I just finished to write my issue in their [bug tracker](https://github.com/gphoto/libgphoto2/issues/) while I noticed that, in fact, **you must unlock your smartphone before being able to list its photos!**
Sorry for the trouble / Désolé ! ;-)
