Properly detect a tethered phone

Open elementaryBot opened this issue 8 years ago • 1 comments

I've attached my phone via usb. It shows as an ethernet device. We should properly detect that it's a phone and use the icon "phone"

For me I see "Apple iPhone" rather than just "Ethernet", although that could be caused by the fact I had an Ethernet cable already connected. The USB to Ethernet adapter was previously "Ethernet" but when my phone is connected I see "Apple USB Ethernet Adapter".

Has anyone tried this with an Android phone?
