Hi Peter,
Don't want to keep throwing links at you but I had two saved when I was
playing with Debian on my other laptop. The other link I had was this one
https://www.reddit.com/r/debian/comments/n2skx6/connecting_android_phone/
I never completed getting mine to work as I ended up replacing the hard
drive and re-installed a different (debian based) distro
Hope it helps
