The file transfer speed suddenly became the last thing i worried when the application is behaving like jerks and constantly throws warning errors during copying a bunch of files from or to the device. Was trying to understand and debug, &#8230; very time consuming &#8230; and finally, I think this is enough for this bullshit and uninstall it &#8230; forget gmtp.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Almost given up on this MTP shit\u00a0and just used adb to push things over. There are no better solution or alternatives so far, until today, i stop by on this <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.itsbilal.com\/index.php\/2012\/12\/connect-an-android-4-0-phonetablet-to-ubuntu-the-reliable-way\/\">blog<\/a>, gathering info and continue to this awesome gomtpfs recompile and packaging on ppa by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.webupd8.org\/2012\/12\/how-to-mount-android-40-ubuntu-go-mtpfs.html\">andrew webupd8<\/a>. This is very good and reliable mtp mounter !! Tried it on my Nexus7 and Galaxy Nexus both are on 4.2.1 cm10.1 and PA, it works flawlesly and very fast.
