Yeah I don't know why the S3 won't mount, I googled it and it seems to be a known issue. It has something to do with MTP and PTP which are the 2 options you are given to choose from when connecting the phone to a Windows pc. From what I understand Linux has no support for MTP which is the media protocol. PTP is camera mode which also doesn't work. I thought bluetooth would work and I can connect but the file transfers fail. What sucks is in Windowz it all works including bluetooth transfers. I have not rooted the phone since it's still under warranty. I am hoping that ubuntu will release a Rom for their phone os soon cause then I'll consider rooting. I have never had a phone I couldn't mount on linux untill the S3
Still Noob!
