On a machine which has installed
gammu-libs dialog gammu python-gammu wammu
wammu configure (using automatic detection) is unable to find a connected phone, even though, when I plug in the usb cable, I get a popup on the screen of the gnome directory browser of the phone's storage.
So, how do I proceed from here?
Thax to all wammu users for any help with this.

Have you used this before and it worked? I think that application is only for non-smartphones. If Nautilus is showing the files, then wammu is probably not going to work.

I searched for other such tools for "android smart phones" but so far, the overwhelming majority of them are for Widoze. Kde Connect seems to require that the phone itself install the other part of the kde connect. But I Have not tried it yet.

I want to copy over from old phone to new phone the call log and the SMS messages.
Thanx for any help.

P.S: On the phone the kde connect app is running and says:

It would help if you had said what phones you have. However, that is something that is generally hard to do with current phones. I have LG phones and LG provides an app to do that, but it only works to restore on an LG phone. I have used an app before that did that, but I think it stopped working with newer Android versions.
Thanx for any help.

I've never tried it, so I can't help there.

PS: I tried to use kde connect
I use KDE connect quite frequently. It is good and works well for what/how it is designed. It is designed to...
- Shared clipboard: copy and paste between your devices. - Share files and URLs to your computer from any app, without wires. - Virtual touchpad: Use your phone screen as your computer's touchpad. - Notifications sync (4.3+): Read your Android notifications from the desktop. - Multimedia remote control: Use your phone as a remote for Linux media players. - WiFi connection: no USB wire or bluetooth needed. - End-to-end TLS encryption: your information is safe.
It is also integrated quite nicely with Dolphin on KDE allowing you GUI access to the phone's file system to selectively download pictures and such.
It doesn't have the ability to do what you're attempting.

The SMS data is in a protected directory on Android phones. I believe the call logs are as well. Unless your phone is rooted, you won't have access to them. There are utilities out there in Android-land that will let you back up SMS data and call logs, or you can root your device.
From what I can remember, the SMS data is in
/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db
on the phone. Unless you're rooted, /data reports as an empty directory. Android is essentially saying "Nah, it isn't empty, but you ain't root so you can't see what's here. So there! Nyah! Thhpt!" <insert emoji with a thumbed nose here>
There are times I absolutely hate Android. It's my phone. I should be able to do what I want with it. Why the hell can't I move stuff to and from my SD card as I see fit? Truly annoying. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@alldigital.com - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - The trouble with troubleshooting is that trouble sometimes - - shoots back. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Not sure if that means I would be able to copy them to linux.

Airdroid lets you view messages and the call logs, but it doesn't let you download them in bulk and it definitely doesn't let you upload them.
