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.Picture folder and viewer

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
