I got the same problem. And as I see there are no answers although the question is 2 months old. So possibly you're still waiting for a solution. I realized that the internet routes were not ok. The default route was missing. You can check that with "route -n". If there is no route to 0.0.0.0, you got the error. You can add the default route with the command "sudo route add default gw XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX". You can get the required IP address XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX by the command ifconfig. Look for inet address and change the number of the last group to 1. For example: 192.168.1.49 to 192.168.1.1. I tried to do this with the network manager, but I failed. You also need to add a dns server. This should best be done with the network manager. So right click on the connection and add 8.8.8.8 as dns server or any other server you like. I assume this is a bug in either the Samsung phone or Ubuntu. So this is more or less a workaround.
