Hello,

My Linux Mint 21 doesn't recognize my Android 6 tablet (wired) or my Android 13 phone, whereas Windows 11 sees them without any problem (same computer in dual boot).

Thank you in advance.

Linux Mint 21.1 (= Ubuntu ...) Cinnamon 64

    Hello,

    If the connection is made via USB (which I suspect), you need to ensure that on your tablet or mobile, once connected, you authorize your PC to connect, otherwise nothing will happen under Linux.

    It would also be interesting to copy and paste the result of this command (to be typed in a terminal), right after plugging in your phone (or tablet):

    dmesg | tail

    Personally, I recommend kdeconnect (on the mobile device and under Linux) which allows (among other things) to easily transfer files from one to the other. It just requires that both communicating devices are connected to the same local network (for example, via your Wi-Fi connection).

    Good luck
