If the phone supports MTP, then you can just use GMTP (I don't think TDE has MTP protocol support yet). Otherwise, it might be that the phone can function like a standard USB mass storage device and the TDE Hardware library just doesn't recognize that. That still happens to me when I connect an MP4 player device to the PC, so I have to mount it manually.
I think you hit on the root cause -- TDE doesn't support the phone. Probably because MTP.
I live in a cell phone dead zone and I use the phone only when traveling. The phone has a camera and that is what prompted me to test the phone in TDE. To hopefully transfer photos to my computers. I never used the phone to take photos, but I thought I'd check the support in TDE. So I guess until TDE has MTP support I launch a different DE if that need arises. A paper cut but not a show stopper.
That seems like overkill. Why not just start up the file manager of one of the other DEs, access the camera, and then kill that file manager?
