When you last unplugged it from a system (probably Windows) did you use the safe removal feature in the OS before you physically unplugged it?

It's just a run of the mill Android phone. Nothing special. Have you tried changing your USB mode to Camera?

Have you tried a different USB port (preferably not USB 3)

This is what I end up doing and works well using Wi-Fi. Android device downloaded AirDroid It's in Google play used my Google email address, password and nick name. Followed instructions on phone and did same on Ubuntu desk top.
