What does dmesg say right when you plug in the phone?
What does lsbus -v say about that device?

Are you sure the phone thinks it's connecting as an MTP device?  There  
should be a way to tell the phone how to connect, but it's probably  
specific to each phone, although likely somewhere under settings - look  
for developer settings.

I think with MTP there can be issues owing to implementation details -
some phones will have trouble with some MTP tools.

If you can, please try sys-fs/jmtpfs.

Hmm, according to

   https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/sys-fs/jmtpfs

this package looks rather unmaintained,  last changed  in November 2013.
There are also

   https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/sys-fs/mtpfs

which doesn't look much better, maintenance-wise, and

   https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/sys-fs/simple-mtpfs

which at least seems maintained.   There are quite a few  other packages
listed at

   https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/MTP

where it's also mentioned  that Thunar can  connect to MTP  file systems
using the "xfce-extra/thunar-volman" package.

Personally I haven't yet used  any of these  because I'm quite satisfied
using "adb" from package "dev-util/android-tools".

Sincerely,
  Rainer

simple-mtpfs worked instead of  mtpfs. Also the android phone screen needs
to  be unlocked and  answer 'allow' when a pop up
message appears. After doing that i was able to mount the android phone
