Once i connected my Android with a USB type-C cable the Android icon appeared on Dolphin places sidebar. Lately, these last few weeks it doesn't show to dolphin anymore. I haven't made any changes except upgrading the distributor, also i haven't changed any settings on my phone. Current libmtp, "libmtp-udev 1.1.22", a previous version was fine and shown on my file manager. If you need any additional information, please ask me.

I confirm the problem and that it is a KDE issue after an update. In KDE Plasma Version 6.2.4, KDE Frameworks Version: 6.8.0, and Qt Version 6.8.0, the system detects that the mobile phone is connected when plugged in by cable and notifies it. However, it does NOT appear listed in the connected devices list in Dolphin. If you click on the KDE notification in the "Open with Dolphin" option, Dolphin opens and becomes "frozen." On another machine that I have more updated (the version that corresponds to Tumbleweed from last week), Dolphin does show the device, but after accessing it, Dolphin always ends up freezing. On both machines, the file manager "Caja," however, perfectly detects the device (as Dolphin used to do) and allows navigation through the content of my mobile without any problem.

same here using openSUSEs master git snapshots..

Still valid here. As a workaround I now put mtp:/ to the location text field (do not know how it is exactly called) and the device is accessible. You may also put this by right-click to the Favorite Locations. However, would be nice if the device again is automatically shown and accessible through the Disks widget.
Thanks Rob, but i still can't access my S23+ on Tumbleweed. Dolpin mtp:/ No MTP-Compatible device found Still doesn't recognize it as icon on dolphin, nor a prompt on KDE status notification once i plug USB-C cable. libmtp-udev - v1.1.22 kio-extras - v24.12.2 Also i don't get any output running dolphin from konsole/terminal. √ 02/08/25 15:47 tumbleweed nili 0022 ~ $ dolphin With KDE Connect the connection is successful. But i'm interested manged via dolphin as i find it more practical and works better.
Further details from a Tumbleweed system with recent update status: NAME="openSUSE Tumbleweed" # VERSION="20250206" Packages (QUESTION: why do we have both kio-extras and kio-extras5, and which one does kio-5.xxx use? Is kio by any chance using kio-extras5 and kio-fuse-5.xxx, whereas dolphin is now using kio-extras-24.xxx? That could possibly explain the disconnect - or is this a red herring?): kio-5.116.0-1.2.x86_64 kio-extras-24.12.1-1.1.x86_64 kio-extras5-24.02.2-1.2.x86_64 kio-fuse-5.1.0-1.4.x86_64 libmtp9-1.1.22-1.2.x86_64 libmtp-udev-1.1.22-1.2.x86_64 dolphin-24.12.1-1.2.x86_64 android-file-transfer-linux-4.3.0~git.20240730T195303.cf7036c7f7df-1.2.x86_64 Tests - mobile phones tried: Samsung Galaxy A50 and A55: 1. Plug in A50 (screen unlocked) 2. Responses: on the phone: Allow/Deny prompt as expected; on PC/TW: device notification in sys tray as expected. 3. Hit "Allow" on the phone 4. Hit "Open in File Manager" on PC / sys tray pop-up 5. Response: Dolphin opens in user's home directory; Dolphin "Devices" list does not show phone - FAIL! 6. Enter "mtp:/" into Dolphin location field. 7. Response: Dolphin shows phone now as it should. Access to phone storage, both internal ("Phone") and Card works as it should have after step 4. above. But obviously entering "mtp:/" should not be needed to get there... Further tests: - I have performed everything above again, and it is very repeatable. - Testing with the other phone model, A55, produces the same results. - Android File Transfer fails with "No MTP devices found", although it does see a USB device. - lsusb sees the phone(s): "Bus 003 Device 017: ID 04e8:6860 Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd Galaxy series, misc. (MTP mode)" - dmesg says something like: [ 1368.284329] [ T5446] usb 3-4: new high-speed USB device number 17 using xhci_hcd [ 1368.409102] [ T5446] usb 3-4: New USB device found, idVendor=04e8, idProduct=6860, bcdDevice= 5.04 [ 1368.409114] [ T5446] usb 3-4: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 [ 1368.409117] [ T5446] usb 3-4: Product: SAMSUNG_Android [ 1368.409120] [ T5446] usb 3-4: Manufacturer: SAMSUNG [ 1368.409123] [ T5446] usb 3-4: SerialNumber: [...] [ 1368.411543] [ T5446] cdc_acm 3-4:1.1: ttyACM0: USB ACM device What other information can we provide to narrow this down?
Further to my comments below, I have another TW system that I have been able to roll back to a snapshot where everything still worked as it should. Details as follows - so this is the status of early November 2024, and from memory, the MTP functionality broke shortly after that date: NAME="openSUSE Tumbleweed" # VERSION="20241108" Packages - NOTE: kio-extras5 is not installed; this package has apparently only been added at the time when this MTP functionality broke. What prompted this change that resulted in going from just kio-extras before to both kio-extras and kio-extras5 now? kio-5.116.0-1.1.x86_64 kio-extras-24.08.2-1.1.x86_64 package kio-extras5 is not installed kio-fuse-5.1.0-1.3.x86_64 libmtp9-1.1.21-1.5.x86_64 libmtp-udev-1.1.21-1.5.x86_64 dolphin-24.12.0-2.1.x86_64 With this configuration, Dolphin does show the phone's contents as it should, after first hitting "Open in File Manager" in the KDE pop-up, which then causes the phone to pop up the "Allow/Deny" prompt - and once "Allow" is selected there, Dolphin correctly shows the phone's contents.
Further to my earlier two comments today, I have also installed a fresh Leap 15.6 yesterday to test this, and it works, but the package configuration is yet different again from the two TW systems that I have tested... NAME="openSUSE Leap" VERSION="15.6" kio-5.115.0-150600.1.4.x86_64 package kio-extras is not installed kio-extras5-23.08.5-bp156.1.3.x86_64 kio-fuse-5.1.0-bp156.1.3.x86_64 libmtp9-1.1.21-150600.1.3.x86_64 libmtp-udev-1.1.21-150600.1.3.x86_64 dolphin-23.08.5-bp156.2.2.x86_64 Sooo - in this case, kio-extras5 is present, but we have no kio-extras, whereas in the correctly working / rolled-back TW, it is vice-versa. And in the broken TW, we see both kio-extras5 and kio-extras.
This bug seems to me to be a duplicate of: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=497140 Since both are for openSUSE Tumbleweed and Plasma Version: 6.2.4 Even though they are put under different products. Can anyone check if this is indeed a duplicate and mark it properly if so? Thanks!

Although they are the same problem, the description of the issue and the details are clearer in this thread than in the one that was created first. Also, the thread you reference mentions "frameworks-solid," but it's "kio" that gives the impression of malfunctioning, as demonstrated by the fact that other file managers like "PCMan" do allow direct access to the mobile phone's storage. In any case, the problem is recent, because a few months ago access was simple and without problems with Dolphin or Krusader.

I understand, thanks for the explanation! Has anyone here tried what I tried with the 'solid-hardware6' command in the other bug report?, more specifically, this: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=497140#c5 And the next reply after it. Maybe it helps with debugging and finding the root of the problem. With KIO I don't know any commands, if it has any that can be typed in the terminal. For me on Debian, everything still works as before, but I have not used PCMan or Krusader, just Dolphin.
With all my modest efforts to fix it myself, thinking that i have some shortcomings on my part, i have not been able to find anything, thanks also the mod on forums.opensuse for their helps. I am ready to provide other info if you ask me.
