Alternatively, check your Settings menu for USB Utilities.
This is nicer, IMO.  That offers a button to Connect
storage to PC. Touching that brings up a message that you
should now connect your usb cable (it needs to be
unconnected before this stage). When you get the USB
Connected screen touch the button for a connection, and
KDE's USB manager will pop up just as with any
usb-connected drive.  From then on you can explore in
Dolphin. This is the method I use.

I hope you can get some ideas from this.
No, I don't get any idea from your answer. The only way is
to become an expert in mtpfs and libmtp under Linux. Probably
to recompile the mtplib changing some permission compling
options


Sorry - I don't understand.  Have you tried the USB Utilities (on
the phone) + Dolphin (on the computer) path?  This works for me
without any fancy footwork at all.
Thank you to try to help me. What do you mean by "USB
Utilities"?

On the Samsung that is one section in the Settings menu.
Yes. Settings>USB connection mode. Little message from Sony: "MTP only for internal storage"... On most of the Android phones you have the choice between USB mass storage mode and MTP mode. Most of the Android phone have a removable micro SD Card, also. The Sony Xperia X lacks the software (USB utilities as you call them) to communicate in USB mass storage mode. The message in the Settings menu says: "MTP only for internal storage". Therefore, since there are no removable micro SD card but instead a massive 25 Gig built-in internal mass storage, I have no choice but try to have MTP working. However, the KDE implementation of MTP just allows to read the files from the phone to the PC. It cannot write files from the PC to the phone. I can move the pictures I took on the phone to the PC. But I cannot move 10 Gig of music from the PC to the phone and this is my problem. I have received 5-6 answers to my my request besides yours. Most of them suggest to use Bluetooth to send my music to my phone. However sending 10 Gig via Bluetooth will last several hours. I do not consider to go that way. It is much faster to dump the 10 Gig of music stored on my Linux PC to a USB key, transfer it to a Windoze computer, connect the phone to the Windoze computer in MTP mode and send the 10 Gigs of music from the Windoze PC to the phone. All this because read/write is not enable in some KDE MTP communication program part of camera! (Only read...) I wish I could have met with developers of KDE on this mailing list to fix that little problem. It seems that it is a too much exclusive club. Meanwhile I will continue to use a Windoze computer to make the bridge between the Sony Xperia S and Linux.
Shame on us!
Tkx to try to help me
