Isn't there a Package on Fedora repo that you can install so as to view files on Android Phones by USB ??

you mount a phone via MTP and use your ordinary filebrowser and whatever applications are assigned with a mime-type
so why would you need a "special application"?

Some will show up as USB mass storage (or at least let you access an attached sd card by that method). I've got a samsung which is locked down for that (and I don't want to have to root it), in which case you have to use MTP. For access in KDE I've got kio_mtp installed. simple-mtpfs works for me if I need command line access. The phone needs to be unlocked while accessing it.

Just be aware that MTP doesn't give you a "real" filesystem, e.g. IIRC there's no seeking and files cannot be modified in place or even directly overwritten, just read, written and deleted. simple_mtpfs does some caching to try to disguise this but it's useful to know.

You should just be able to get this via yum, or the software centre (or whatever the gui package manager is called these day

I know of no special package: I just use Nautilus to brown the device as just another disk, granted one that speaks MTP.

At this location, I have found out how to connect my Linux PC to my Galaxy Mega Phone/Tablet, But I can't find howto copy/move Videos from the Phone to PC, using Drag, Copy, or Upload. Using Firefox Browser on PC.
If anyone can figure how to do this please let me know.
Thank You

I prefer Airdroid if you are using a Wifi. It fairly straightforward there.
