The files from my android device get detected only when there is an internet connection. If I am not connected to internet I get an error message: "Unable to mount folder. The server for this folder could not be located." I can open my files (device will get mounted) once I go online on my system.
Please help to fix this. I want to connect my phone without going online.

MTP works for me out of the box. What are the specs of the host machine and the Android device?– SeriouslyLaughingAug 4, 2015 at 1:00

Host machine : elementary os freya (intel i5, 4gb ram, Radeon Graphics). Phone: Android L (Asus zenfone 4.5 (Zen UI),). Also noticed that only my phone doesn't get mounted; it works well with other android phones :(– AjithAug 9, 2015 at 8:52

Keep in mind that this is a workaround and that the guide is written 2013.

I asked a similar question here: How can I get Noise and Photos to recognize my phone? maybe it will help you out. I was able to get my Galaxy s6 to work (except for Noise).
