How to connect a Samsung Flipshot U900 to Ubuntu/Linux
Thursday, April 3rd, 2008First purchase a USB cable that works with the Samsung Flipshot U900 — I ordered one from 3GCables.com for $8.95 (and $6.95 s/h)
The default setting for the phone was to ask how it should present itself when connected via USB. The options are “Ask on Plug”, “Copy To/From Card”, “Sync Music” or “Modem”
Since I’m always going to use it like a usb-storage device, I changed it to always use “Copy To/From Card”.
- 5. Settings & Tools
- 8. USB Auto Detection
- Change to “Copy From/To Card’.
Now you can copy files to /media/disk. My top level directory looks like this:
$ ls /media/disk/
my_files my_flix my_music my_pix my_sounds
