The problem is not recognizing the phone. The problem, at least how this conversation began, is TDE does nothing when connecting the phone. KDE 5 and Xfce handle the phone fine. Probably other DEs too, but I haven't looked. Philippe replied that TDE does not have MTP support so that is that.
well, but some are detected with tdeio-kamera and handled properly.
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
