I've a Samung 7" and even disable of "gvfs mtp volume monitor" before connection doesn't work. Calibre's USB custom utility can see it.
All my many other Android 4 to 10 MTP devices work (Sony, Lenovo, irulu, Alcatel, Likebook Mars and others), some by just clicking unmount and others by stopping (not kill) the "gvfs mtp volume monitor" process before connecting USB so it never mounts on filesystem. Some Linux desktops have a don't automount setting that works (Cinnamon on Mint works), but Mate on Mint needs the monitor process stopped.

I can only make an extra directory on Linux, connect to that with Calibre and then in caja copy from that directory to the mounted Samsung 7" tablet.

So maybe some Samsung weirdness.

Though I've not used MTP on the other gadgets since upgrade from 5.44.x to 6.3.x which I was using. Now on 6.4.0 but not tried it again.
