Recently I wanted to see if I can connect it to an Android tablet (Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1). I couldn’t. Too bad as I could really use the extra 32Gb the n900 has to offer. It would connect but the tablet disconnects it as soon as the phone tries to start charging.
All I had to do was issue:
stop bme
in a root console before connecting the phone to the tablet. After finishing I ran:
start bme
to restore everything to normal.

First I thought it’s a 2.6 issue so I reverted to my 2.5.0 stable version. No luck. I then thought it’s because some updates I ran for Slackware (I’m using current64) Not having any luck I opened a bug, thankfully the digikam developers were quick to reply: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=299755

To be short the issue will be fixed for 2.6.0 stable but until then edit ~/.kde/share/config/digikamrc and remove the [adjustlevels Tool] config group.
