Kovid,

I just tried it with my Samsung Galaxy SPlus ('GT-I9001'), running Android 2.3.5 in 'MediaPlayer' USB mode.

It's recognized, but as soon as I actually try to do something with it (as in clicking the Device icon to list books on it), I get 'Error communicating with device' with the following details:

calibre, version 0.8.69
ERROR: Error: Error communicating with device

local variable 'p' referenced before assignment

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\device.py", line 85, in run
File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\device.py", line 450, in _books
File "site-packages\calibre\devices\mtp\driver.py", line 144, in books
File "site-packages\calibre\devices\mtp\driver.py", line 120, in get_driveinfo
File "site-packages\calibre\devices\mtp\windows\driver.py", line 222, in filesystem_cache
File "site-packages\calibre\devices\mtp\filesystem_cache.py", line 207, in __init__
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'p' referenced before assignment

And the screen remains blank. Afterwards I can click on the Device or Card A buttons, but nothing happens; the screen remains blank.

Trying to configure it gets me a ThreadingViolation error with the following details:

calibre, version 0.8.69
ERROR: Unhandled exception: <b>ThreadingViolation</b>:You cannot use the MTP driver from a thread other than the thread in which startup() was called

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\device_drivers\mtp_config.py ", line 249, in browse
File "site-packages\calibre\devices\mtp\windows\driver.py", line 205, in filesystem_cache
File "site-packages\calibre\devices\mtp\windows\driver.py", line 32, in check_thread
ThreadingViolation: You cannot use the MTP driver from a thread other than the thread in which startup() was called

Let me know if you need any more info or if you want me to try anything.

Edit: by 'configuring it' I meant trying to add a format-specific send directory rule.
