Viewing Android Files from Linux
Apparently this is easier with Windows - something is done automatically there. What I found worked for Linux was On phone - Settings | Applications | Development | Enable USB Debugging. Connect Phone to Linux using USB. This will create a notification on phone - tap the notification - phone will ask if you wish to access files from PC and answer "Yes". As a side note I couldn't add ringtones from the Sound Menu. Need to create folders on the phone which are all one word and all lower case named ringtones notifications alarms And put the proper sound files in the proper folders. Some folks say you have to restart your phone for this to take effect but I did not have to do this - it just worked.
