Hi folks,
Of late, on my up to date F18 system, my galaxy S3 (jellybean 4.1.2) doesn't automount as an MTP device on Gnome3. It doesn't show up in nautilus even after I use simple-mtpfs (the orphaned mtpfs package doesn't work). IIRC, it used to, but I'm not really sure when it stopped. Would anyone know how I could debug this and file a bug report? Does Gnome3 use mtpfs as a backend?
It sucks that Andriod's using MTP, but I'd still like to see if work out of the box in Fedora :)
I filed a bug against mtpfs, but since it's orphaned, I don't expect it fixed any time soon.

No.
A MTP backend for gvfs has been in the works for a while though and got merged in gvfs 1.15.2. That means that at least for Fedora 19 it will "just work" out of the box.

Ah. Great! I'm looking forward to F19 already. :D
Anyway, how was nautilus auto-mounting the phone earlier then? (Another person on the QA list has confirmed that his phone shows up in nautilus on being plugged in: F18, Android 4.1.1).

Using another variant of PTP, or simply a storage device, depending on the device.
MTP support was added to GVfs during the 3.7.x cycle. Maybe it would be helpful in this regard?
