Description Omer Akram 2011-01-13 12:15:11 UTC 
"When connecting my Android device (HTC DROID Incredible) to my laptop and then setting the phone to USB Mass Storage Rhythmbox does not my phone as a storage device. If I add an empty file to the root of my phone called .is_audio_player and then restart Rhythmbox, my phone will then be detected.

However, this is a workaround and not a true fix for the problem. Please let me know if there is something that I am missing. I do have the correct plugin in Rhythmbox enabled as well (Portable Players - MTP)."

That is not the correct plugin.

Submit device information to the media-player-info product in bugs.freedesktop.org, not here.
