That said, mtp-detect reports the phone as a OneTouch 5042D rather than A405DL and complains about being unable to initialize because GVFS or KDE MTP is handling the device. On odd message because I am using TDE. I'll have to try later with a fresh reboot.
now you are starting to narrow down :) if something else is using whatever ...
When I plugin any phone here (Android or not) I always get a konqueror popping up and opening the device with the tdeio-kamera, which is part of kamera-trinity
Description: digital camera io_slave for Konqueror This is a digital camera io_slave for TDE which uses gphoto2 and libgpio to allow access to your camera's pictures with the URL camera:/ . This package is part of Trinity, as a component of the TDE graphics module. See the 'tde-trinity' and 'tdegraphics-trinity' packages for more information.
I noticed something similar when I sent my previous reply. The /lib/udev/hwdb.d/69-libmtp.hwdb and 20-libgphoto2.hwdb files list the A405DL with a USB ID of 1bbb:901b (1BBBp901B).
On my computer lsusb shows 1bbb:900e.
Searching /lib/udev finds no IDs of 1bbb:900e (1BBBp900E). That might explain why TDE fails to show the device. Might not. Since the device is listed in both of those files, seems TDE should see the device using the 20-libgphoto2.hwdb file even if MTP is not supported.
Possibly all I need is to create a /etc/udev override files with the correct ID and name plate. I need to dig further, but my brain is tapped out for today.
