As a first troubleshooting step, just try to reboot, since from that last symbol it seems you updated but not rebooted (maybe something USB-related was updated…).
If this doesn’t help, how are you copying your files? Normal copy e.g. via Dolphin?
Did you get in your mobile the usual Android USB preferences pop-up providing options to “File Trasfer” (to be selected), “USB tethering”, etc…?
If you selected File Tramsfer, did you get in Garuda a notification saying that a device was connected and asking if you want to open it with Dolphin?
Finally, just a hint: you could also use KDE connect pairing your device via Bluetooth, which works great.

Thanks I just rebooted and used another port it doesn't show the error anymore. Also while File Transfer why does the system freezes sometimes. I understand its using up resources but its like completely unable to use.

Thanks Anyways my problem with File transfer is resolved but i'd want to know the reason behind the system freeze.

Check for errors in logfiles

sudo journalctl -p 3 -xb

Regarding performance issues (in general), a very detailed guide has recently been prepared:

I would say that this is a very extensive topic and getting into formal troubleshooting can be a very complex and time consuming process.
So it might be worthwhile to evaluate if there is any topic/aspect of interest, do some testing, etc.
At the very least, it will be an extremely useful reading… :slight_smile:
Definitely, it will need a dedicated thread if this will go forward (I assume that sporadic problems, only when copying files, are not such an important issue).

Thanks for the link Sure I’ll go through the post and check if there’s anything that can fix this lag.
