  • Reading my Android

    From philo@21:1/5 to All on Tue Aug 31 08:30:26 2021
    I am running both Mint and Ubuntu and all is working quite well except
    when a try to copy files from my Android.

    It's is not a problem with the ports and if I use a USB stick or
    external hard drive...no problems. It's with my Android only.


    The copy process is exceedingly slow and always fails if I try to copy a
    lot of data at once.

    On my Win10 and Win11 installations it's a smooth process.

    Are you talking about via usb cable or bluetooth?

    I've read that KDEconnect works well, but it requires all kinds of
    KDE/Qt stuff.

    There's also an android file transfer, but it isn't in the mint repo/s,
    but comes as a snap.

    I don't use KDE Connect to copy data from my obsolete tablet which I use for pictures occasionally, The trick is to set up the
    old tablet as the proper sort of device and then I just plug the
    USB cable in and am able to open it in Dolphin. KDE Connect is
    for the sort of synchronization of bookmarks, addresses and phone
    numbers between devices.
