I tried this with my Samsung Galaxy and Banshee did not recognize the device. I found this post which suggests a fix: http://gerry.ws/2009/01/1051/automatic-ipod-like-detection-for-other-devices-in-banshee-rhythmbox.html It sounds like some devices need an .is_audio_player file in the root directory of the device.

"When you connect your Android phone to your Linux machine " How is this done by blue tooth or wifi? This is very vague. I do not have an android phone yet cause I am waiting on Verizon to get their act together. AT&T has android but they don't have a network.
