file transfer (Android phone to PC) by USB cable failing

Post by eNG1Ne »

I've been used to transferring photos from my Samsung Galaxy G5 to my Mint PC with a USB cable, but the last three or four times I've tried I get this message.
Sorry, could not display all the contents of "Camera": libmtp error: could not get object handles of 00000393.
Any ideas on how to correct this? Just ask if you need more information.

With the phone connected, in terminal copy & paste the following command and post the results back here..

Code: Select all

Try installing these packages and see what happens.

You could try adding Warpinator to your Samsung phone from Google Play.
You do not then need to use the USB to transfer data/pictures/files.
Works flawlessly (& swiftly) for me..

May I suggest you use an App called "Sweech" and use your Local WiFi signal, on 5g channels, it is FAST.
