I am running both Mint and Ubuntu and all is working quite well except
when a try to copy files from my Android.

It's is not a problem with the ports and if I use a USB stick or
external hard drive...no problems. It's with my Android only.


The copy process is exceedingly slow and always fails if I try to copy a
lot of data at once.

On my Win10 and Win11 installations it's a smooth process.

Are you talking about via usb cable or bluetooth?

I've read that KDEconnect works well, but it requires all kinds of
KDE/Qt stuff.

There's also an android file transfer, but it isn't in the mint repo/s,
but comes as a snap.

I don't use KDE Connect to copy data from my obsolete tablet which I use for pictures occasionally, The trick is to set up the
old tablet as the proper sort of device and then I just plug the
USB cable in and am able to open it in Dolphin. KDE Connect is
for the sort of synchronization of bookmarks, addresses and phone
numbers between devices.
