 Hi there, welcome back to my YouTube channel. This is Daniel Rosal. I want to do a quick video here just to wrap up the week for the people using Ubuntu and using Android. Now they tend to go hand-in-hand because Android is after all a fork of Linux and if you are connecting your Android smartphone or tablet to your Ubuntu based computer a few times a week then You may have found like I did that the stability of the connection Kind of varies depending on the connection protocol that you use now You can just very quickly change that by just tapping on your phone or if you're doing something like what I'm doing right now And mirroring it to your computer you can also manipulate the phone that way But it's more effective to set a default setting On the phone and you can do that pretty easily and the purpose of this video is just to show you guys How to do that so I'm speaking of connectivity protocols I connect my phone a few times a week almost always with the single purpose of taking the videos and Pictures I've shot on my phone and getting those down on my on my computer And I sometimes edit those into videos for this YouTube channel So if that's all you're doing I found PTP to be the most reliable connection protocol that will expose in your file system just the Video folders the the ones that are relevant for containing that and I'm just going to show you my Screen here for a second and you can see I've got this phone mounted here to the file system on the computer and I can go into camera and all the different camera applications Open camera quick video recorder that I have on my phone are Accessible and in camera. I've got a couple of jpegs and about 10 Videos I was just shooting some clips earlier So that's very effective and it's quicker than jumping through the whole file system Just to get into the same few folders every time. So that's why I like PTP As you can see it only shows you those photos those folders containing your media So if you want to get to other parts of the file system file systems want to go for there's a nice one called tethering and I've done videos on using the phones connection as a hotspot with your computer and if you're every single time you Connect your phone. You're using it for tethering then it would make sense to set that as default So here's what to do the prerequisite here is that you need to have developer options open on Enabled on your phone. All right, so I'm just trying to Yes, I'm getting I'm getting confused. I'm clicking on OBS and not in the actual phone. Okay, so here's my phone connected to my computer and Dev developer options are opened and you're gonna get two notifications when you hook up your phone via USB One of them says PTP via USB is turned on that's because it's my default option tap for more options and This is just a very quick way to change the connection method. I'm not gonna do that because it will break the Emulator and I won't be able to show you guys what I'm doing But you would just click here if you wanted to get out of PTP and go into file transfer to To get access to the whole file system. That's what you do But the one you do want to click on is is this one here It says USB debugging connected trap to turn off USB debugging. Don't worry about it I'm tapping on my emulator and everything is is cool. I'm not you know Nothing nothing stopped working now. This is developer options and you're gonna have a long list of options here But in debugging I have USB Debugging turned on but that's not the important feature It's under networking and you've won here called default USB Configuration and this is where you do the setting So it basically looks almost the same as the first option that we saw there For changing the connection method just for this session But the difference is that this will set the default and it works really well every time I connect my Phone now to my Ubuntu Linux computer using USB. It's going into PTP mode I don't have to there's MTP will show up when you're using the file system I just get a different sort of mount and I just can jump straight into my camera folders and download those So I hope this video has been useful if you are using Ubuntu Linux and Android And you're frequently connecting your phone to your computer and you want to just quickly grab those photos and videos and Go then this method works It's going to save yourself a bit of time to choose a default connection method and PTP I find works quickest for just grabbing photos and videos off the phone
