For my phone (Nokia Lumia 630 Dual SIM, WP 8.1) and Linux Mint 17.3 (based on Ubuntu 14.04) worked: try to connect it after you swiped the phone screen saver away. Or in other words: connect your phone just, when you see the Windows tiles on it (so you could start an app or do a call).
If I don't do so, my phone does not connect and my file browser just freezes.

It will detect your device if you reboot your ubuntu 14.04 machine while your windows 8.1 device is plugged in.
