so after playing around a bit i finally got it working, NOTE this requires compiling from source if you are not confortable doing it then don't
First of the libmtp that is installed apparently doesn't work with out S3 so we are going to compile a version from source that is.
First off install git ( if it isnt installed)
Open your terminal
then we will grab the sources for lbmtp
next we will configure it and install it
ok now the new libmtp is installed we can install jmtpfs
i won't reinvent the wheel here so install these dependicies
Download http://research.jacquette.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/jmtpfs-0.4.tar.gz
Extract the file to your home directory
open your terminal again and follow these commands
now jmtpfs is installed
now for the moment of truth
create a directory in your home folder called "mtp"
open up your terminal
to mount the phone type
to unmount when your done
not ideal but it gets the job done, i really suggest buying a microsd and a card reader it is a lot easier
i hope this helps
