My MTP experience with a Samsung SGH G800 phone
Hello!
This isn't specifically a bug report, I just want to describe what happens when I try to mount my Samsung SGH G800 phone as an MTP device, maybe this is useful to someone.
Phone is recognized and appears in the sidebar. Battery power is displayed, and the correct amount of free/used space is shown, but only for a second, then the device is shown als nearly empty, then the music partition is shown as 16777216 GB (which would be nice, but is sadly just the 8^8 limit of something). I left the sync settings set to manual. When I try to add a playlist or song, it appears to work ("completed 1 item" or whatever it says on the top right of the device screen), but the phone library is empty. Phone indicates that syncing appears to go on for quite some time, but at some point Songbird stops responding and needs to be closed via taskmanager.
This is all on the phone's memory card (4GB SDHC).
On the card, the following happens:
- music that was stored in Sounds/ (the phone's default music folder) is deleted almost completely, but the folder structure of the albums remains
- album folders are duplicated in the root of the card (where the phone won't look for music) and are also empty
- playlist files appear in root, but have 0 byte size
- a (sometimes) undeletable folder with a name consisting of funky special characters/boxes appears in the root.
That's all! Hope this is useful to someone. Thanks for reading.

I’m ok. Getting playlists to the phone would be nice though.
