hi, thnaks for the tips… one thing more:

you can create aliases which is easest and fastest to mount and unmount nexus4 in bash.

1/Create a file in your home directory named => .bash_aliases

2/paste those line into this file :

alias nexus4=’sudo mtpfs -o allow_other /media/nexus4′

alias unexus4=’sudo umount /media/nexus4′

3/reload bash and now typing nexus4 will mount as unexus4 will unmount (replace the word aside the alias by whateveer you want)

worked fine here. don’t do copy/paste this line: SUBSYSTEM==”usb”, ATTR{idVendor}==”1004?, MODE=”0666?

Or if you do, remember to replace ” with “

Strange…I’m on 12.04 but this process worked fine for me

In one place a ‘sudo’ is missing.

sudo chmod 755 /media/nexus4

HTH

Neither this process nor gMTP work on Ubuntu 12.04
