Description skaumo 2014-12-20 20:19:02 UTC 
Given a loose/worn micro-usb cable, when it gets moved and possibly break the connection, any further file transfer fails, requiring Dolphin to be restarted completely.

I know micro-usb is an ill-conceived cable format with planned obsolescence in mind, but kio-mtp just happens to be very unstable.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. plug the micro-usb cable into an android device
2. open dolphin, start a larger batch of file transfers
3. move the micro-usb cable a bit (in case it`s a loose/poor one)


Actual Results:  
the whole file transfer batch fails
some uncomplete/empty files are left on the connected android device

Expected Results:  
- automatic retry strategy to be applied
- file transfer batch to complete at first opportunity (actual µ-usb connection may be re-established within seconds, actually)
- further attempts result in "the process for mtp died unexpectedly" until dolphin is restarted


tried kio-mtp-0.75_p20131020 and kio-mtp-9999
same result

Hi, I'm a google code-in student who are trying to do a bug triaging task.

This bug report is likely to be a duplicate of #319880.
