Then add go-mtpfs-unity.desktop the dash, connect your phone via usb and you have a quicklist to mount and dismount your android device.

Sorry for my bad English, I speak Spanish.


I have had the same problem with my Samsung Captivate Glide. In my opinion, not the perfect fix, but an option is an app "USB mode switch for SGS1 on CM" I got from the Play store. Worth a look.


There is now a new, even smoother, method to achieve this using back-ported packages from Ubuntu 13.04. Please follow the guide from WebUpd8:
