I'm sounding like a broken record! I have been trying to mount my Galaxy S3 to 14.04 for months now. I followed suggestions from community members, all to no avail. Now I have a new phone - Galaxy S5. Same problem. I can see the phone, folders and files, but cannot open them. See screenshot.

1Followed what suggestions? Can you see the files when you copythem to your computer?– xanguaJul 19, 2015 at 1:55

This may an issue with 'viewing' image files. You need to first verify if issue relates to file access. Please also identify which Android/MTP version is on the smartphone.– david6Jul 19, 2015 at 2:08

I have a Galaxy S5 and I found that jmtpfs worked fine (whereas standard mtpfs didn't work).
One off:
sudo apt-get install jmtpfs
mkdir /path/to/my/mountpoint
Each time you want to connect:
[Connect USB cable]
sudo jmtpfs -o allow_other /path/to/my/mountpoint
when finished:
sudo fusermount -u /path/to/my/mountpoint
