I still get the same error: "The Connection failed because some other device is connected to Calibre". If I then disconnect my phone, it connect to Calibre without a problem.

Any thoughts/ideas would be appreciated.
Does calibre think it is connected to something, shown in the status line and if you try "Debug device connection" (Preferences / Misc / Debug device connection)? Your phone might be capable of connecting as an MTP device and as an android disk device.

I can say with certainty that for my devices (Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 7, Kindle File HD, HTC Sensation), if I blacklist the devices and disable the Android plugin then I have no trouble connecting via wifi even when the device is connected by cable. I do see a message in calibre's debug log saying that the device is blacklisted, except for the HTC that doesn't support MTP.
