I seem to be having a similar problem mounting a DROID RAZR MAXX HD on
Ubuntu 12.04LTS.  Rather than submitting my own bug report, I have
decided to join this one, hoping that sheer volume of complaints might
force the issue into a higher priority bracket.  Background information
on what I have tried can be found in Launchpad Question 279679 and its
links and references.

Title:
  mtp + htc phone only partially functional

Status in libmtp package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Trying to use an HTC One-X phone with  my Ubuntu 13.04 system and
  having some issues.

  Plug phone in via usb, I get either:
  "Unable to mount android phone. Couldn't find matching udev device."
  or
  "Unable to mount android phone. Unable to open MTP device '[usb:003,005]'"
  But then get a 'Files' window showing an icon for 'Internal Storage'.

  'df' shows:
  none                              4         0         4   0% /sys/fs/cgroup

  ls -al /sys/fs/cgroup
  drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 40 May 23 09:26 .
  drwxr-xr-x 6 root root  0 May 23 09:26 ..

  In 'Files' I can:
  - navigate the drive, 
  - create folders.
  - copy files and folders to/from other places on my PC.
  - delete files.

  I can not:
  - create files (get 'operation not supported by backend')
  - open files (have to copy pictures to my pc to view them).

  The biggest issue is not being able to open files directly (have to
  copy them first).

  I guess that this procedure ( http://bernaerts.dyndns.org/linux/268
  -ubuntu-automount-any-mtp-device) would solve my problem, but I would
  rather not do this if there is another more simple solution. Non
  technical people just wouldn't do this.  I would expect to be able to
  plug in a phone and access its files as per normal, without this
  messing about.
