I've found that with mtp and my samsung galaxy, nautilus sees it but
cant mount it, thunar sees it but cant mount it, but pcmanfm sees and
mounts with no problems, and once its mounted then nautilus has no
problems as its already mounted. I can then copy music and/or films
with no problems what so ever! And at normal decent speeds too.
