Transferring files from Android phone (via USB)
#1
Question 
My Android phone is visible in "Devices" (GUI, default Debian MATE) only in PTP transferring mode (only media files).
When I switch (on phone) to "File Transfer" mode (mtp - Media Transfer Protocol, if I understand correctly) - the device disappears.

What could be the problem?

Did you try installing go-mtpfs and gmtp?

Error "No MTP device found" (message box) at startup.

I installed libmtp-runtime, connected my Sony XZ2 Compact (Android 10) and it showed up when I connected to the USB3 port (next to USB-C).
I didn't even use mtp-detect.

Unfortunately libmtp does not see my smartphone:

Code:
Listing raw device(s)
  No raw devices found.

I tried with another phone (Galaxy A6 +): it works.
Probably the problem is in my device (XPeria XA2 Plus Dual, AOSP build). But with other computers (Ubuntu x86_64 and Windows 10) everything works correctly.

There is no problem in Manjaro ARM (XFCE)

Default Debian and a OnePlus phone is pretty much plug and play
