My experience with MTP and a Samsung smartphone is that the usb cable gauge is
critical.
A standard gauge 28 cable is too thin to provide a good power supply to the
phone. The device constantly disconnects until Android gives up claiming that
it could not find a suitable program on the host computer to communicate with.
I tried gauge 24/28 cables. They give a somewhat better result but it is far
from perfect. I suspect the cable is not entirely to blame at this point.
Your hub or its cable could be unable to provide the required power supply to
the smartphone. Is your hub self powered?
Have you tried to connect the smartphone with the hub cable? It may be too
thin for MTP requirements.
