I'm rooted and running midNIGHT_ROM v4.2 BYOR Edition and have CWM3 installed. I can access everything on my card just fine through Astro or another file manager, and even play back my music just fine.

Yet if I try to do a backup or recovery via CWM, or anything relating to the sd-card, it can't do anything. It won't mount, and I can't format it as thus.

So is it dying? Am I doing something wrong? Do I need a new card?

Update/Edit: Nevermind. I found the issue. It was because of going through Quickboot rather than doing the three-finger salute.

I'll keep this up in case anyone else comes across the issue.

Are you using a reboot function or an app like quick boot?
[Epic 4G Accessories] samuraiinblack:
I was using quickboot. That was the issue.

I am trying to unroot my g2 in order to send it in. I used gfree method on Wiki to root the phone and to unroot it. However, I am stuck trying to turn s-on. When I enter:

$ adb shell /data/local/tmp/psneuter

I am getting:

/data/local/tmp/psneuter: permission denied

Any ideas?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qzfive:
I believe you have to do "chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/psneuter" on it (I'm not -too- sure on the numbers, but I think it's 755)

EDIT: chmod 777, my bad - thanks posters below :P
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flat4grl:
Well the steps from the wiki are:

$ adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp/psneuter

$ adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/psneuter

$ adb shell /data/local/tmp/psneuter

$ adb shell

It's the 3rd one that I am stuck on.

Hi !

Are you sure that you got a valid copy of psneuter?

Try to download the zip from psneuter.zip unpack it and try it again with the file that is called psneuter in it.

have fun - Guhl
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flat4grl:
Thanks for the help! Unfortunately that didn't work either. Not sure whats going on, but I think it's something with the phone. I just cannot figure it out. At least it works for now.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Max):
Type:

1)adb shell

***you should see the '$' symbol (if you have '#', then do nothing, you're already root)

2)chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/psneuter

3)/data/local/tmp/psneuter

4)exit

5)adb shell

6)su

If you have the '#', then you're root

I don't know if this will work, but this is not dangerous at all to try
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flat4grl:
Thanks you for trying to help! When I got to the third step it told me permission denied again.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flat4grl:
I was able to FINALLY get s-on. I thought I would post how I did just in case anyone else ends up having this problem.

I used visionary to temp root my phone and then used the wiki to turn s-on. Only problem I had was trying to remove the psneuter file from the phone. Other than that no problems. Now I shall see if I can get away with sending the phone in.

I'm liking the selection of GSM ROMs for the TAB much better than the Verizon CDMA... I'm no longer making use of the CDMA antenna... WiFi only... could I use a GSM rom?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Geison:
some question...
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssserpentine:
I belive that it possible. Thinks its a different kernel.

The reason i think this is because of the honeycomb cdma gsm ports. I was under the inpression it was the same rom with different kernel. And the kernel was what made it gsm or cdma.

See i want the oppsite of you. I cant get any help either. People think im crazy.

If you find anything out about my issue tell me and i will do the same. Yes? No?

I'm getting poor battery life with Syndicate Frozen because of the Gallery battery bug. I did a lot of searching and read a lot about it, but I can't seem to find any fixes. Is there any way to work around this except rebooting every time you use the gallery? If I forget to do it my battery gets drained super fast.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] musclehead84:
Why not just delete the gallery app and use quickpic or another one from the android market. That's what I do. I love quickpic.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 9kracing:
What gallery battery bug? I even googled to no avail.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattallica76:
There was a bug in DK28 and EB13 (or could have been the Gallery app itself) that caused the G-sensors to go runaway even after closing the gallery process. This would drain the battery. I have not experienced this bug in EC05, but it might have to do with the fact that Mammon uses a modified Gallery App in Bonsai.

The Gallery uses the G-sensors for the tilt effect, but should not continue to do so after the app is closed. You can use Spare Parts to test for it's presence.

1.- Hook your phone up to the charger briefly to clear the battery stats/history.

2.- After you unplug your phone, open the Gallery briefly then close it.

3.- Plug your charger into your phone again to clear the battery history, then unplug it.

4.- Open Spare Parts and click on "Battery history". Then click on the tab at the top that says "Other usage", then select "Sensor usage".

If you see the Gallery listed as one of the processes, then you have the bug.

As I stated earlier, I have not seen it in EC05 (at least not in Bonsai), but it can't hurt to check.

Edit: I just checked my Stock Epic and it does have this bug. My other Epic running Bonsai 4.0.1 does not.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattallica76:
Confirmed, the version of the Gallery used in Bonsai 4.0.0 and greater has been fixed.

So far, all other Gallery apk's I've tested have replicated this issue. Be careful installing themes that include the Gallery, as they probably have not been fixed yet.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dchawk81:
That must be the explanation for my battery drain as well. I've uninstalled it and switched to quickpic. No regrets so far.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattallica76:
I prefer Quickpic myself, but if anyone not running Bonsai wanted to use the 3dGallery, they could just install Mammons version.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dchawk81:
I like the 2d gallery better. 3d is just nonsense, IMHO.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yen46dor:
Hello, I could use a little advice. I rooted my Vibrant when the phone came stock with Eclair. I then upgraded to Froyo using Kies mini. Of course, I lost root access. Since then I have tried many ways to root my phone again, without any success. Yesterday, I tried by using SuperOneClick....again. This time I scrolled back through the commands and found that the necessary files couldn't be copied into the /system/bin or /system/xbin directories because the /system directory is too small. I checked the /system drectory and have only 28k available out of 375.81M allocated to this directory.

I

have

read the NOOB Guide, but still have questions. If I have to go back to Eclair does my /system directory get allocated more space? I already rooted in Eclair and lost it going to Froyo, so I don't understand that suggestion.

Obviously, I need enlightenment....someone please enlighten me.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for responding. I want to make sure that I understand. When I USB to my PC and open the drives from the Samsung, I see drives L and K. The 2Gb one is my external and the 13Gb one is the internal drive. So theoretically, if I copy all of the files that I see from the internal drive to my PC, then restart in recovery and format the card, I should be able to continue to boot the phone, connect the USB and copy all the files back?

I don't see any of the root files on this drive on the PC but I do on the phone.

There are definitly some gaps in my knowledge.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] offdutyninja808:
Correct. Just copy everything from the 14g (internal) to your pc. You can format without recovery. Menu>settings>sd and storage

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yen46dor:

The dialog box suggested that I rename the files to something shorter, but I don't know how to identify those files are if that is even necessary.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yen46dor:
Ok, I have copied out my internal sd successfully. I have done a factory reset

and

a format from the Recover menu. When I check the /system dir after each of those actions, I still get 28k available. Should I try to repartition in order to reallocate space?

Thanks again for any assistance.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yen46dor:
Success !!

I reformatted the card but wasn't able to change the system size...so I used the AIO toolbox to flash back to eclair...checked the file capacity of the /system directory and it was reported at 13Mb now. So I'm back to eclair and rooted. I'm going to attempt to flash froyo and hope not to lose root.

Thanks again for your help.

[Windows Phone 7 General] mitchellvii:
Is there a way to activate some sort of Verbal Navigator by clicking a person's address in People?

In Android, if you click a person's address, it automatically opens Google Navigator and gives you a choice of written or verbal directions. From what I can tell in WM7, your only choice is written directions. Do they REALLY want me to try to drive and READ directions at the same time?

Is there a way to set up People so that clicking on addresses opens some sort of Navigator?

*PS, As I peruse WM7 for the first time I have to ask myself, what the heck to them so long to put this out? It is so basic and has almost no features at all.
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
Windows Phone 7 (and iOS for what its worth) do not have built in turn by turn directions. You'll get a list of directions, but its not full GPS capability (no rerouting, etc).

I'm sure it'll come to Bing maps eventually.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mitchellvii:
Wow, so very lame. M$ makes everything difficult by committee. Google has had Maps/Navigation for years and M$ STILL can't figure it out? I'm taking this HTC Arrive back to the store tomorrow. What a colossal disappointment (however, having seen M$'s raving incompetence on Office, I should not have been surprised).

4 words:

Not.Ready.For.Primetime.
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
Bing had it in WM 6.5, it just hasn't made it over yet for 7. If it's important to you, yeah... you'd be better off moving on. There hasn't really been any rumors or anything about when that is coming. Of course, there haven't been many rumors about Bing upgrades at all, I'm sure they are at work though.

BTW, am I the only one that doesn't consider turn-by-turn directions a standard mobile OS feature? Of the current platforms out there, aren't Android and Symbian the only ones with this functionality built in?
[Windows Phone 7 General] eternalemb:
WM6.5 had it before Android was the fad. MS just f'd up by not including it in WP7. Maybe in an update.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Erik Latranyi:
This sounds like another sour grapes thread to me.

If you didn't know what you were getting into with WP7, it is YOUR fault, not Microsoft's. It is unfortunate that so many do not take responsibility for themselves.

Having used Google and Bing, turn-by-turn, they work fine if you have a great data connection. Just don't try using them anywhere outside a metro area because they both stink the same.

Loaded maps is the only way to go for true navigation.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mitchellvii:
Lol, "another sour grapes thread". You mean there are LOTS of these? Wonder why that is?

So what you are saying is that I should have mastered all of the nuances of WM7 BEFORE actually trying the device? I guess then the concept of "test-driving" is lost on you? Why test-drive a new car - you should have done your research and known exactly how it would perform before you get to the showroom?

My point is that the reason there are so many "sour grapes" threads is that WM7 is a massive fail. When M$ fails to include popular features from a previous release in a new release that is fail. When M$ makes no attempt whatsoever to offer competing features to their #1 competitor, that is fail. The fact that it took M$ FOREVER to come out with WM7 considering how thin and weak it is is epic fail.

Here we are in the day and age of "no texting while driving because it is so dangerous" and yet, M$ REMOVES the navigation feature which forces the users to take their eyes off the road? Epic, mind-boggling, godlike fail.

Like so many M$ "upgrades", WM7 is yet another experiment in not "how can we make this better?", but, "how can we break what works and add other features no one wants or needs?"

Sour grapes? Hell yes. I REALLY REALLY wanted to like this. I like the People/Calendar integration which Google sadly lacks. I like the simplicity of the interface as it makes "thumbs only navigation" much easier. But due to the sheer incompetence of M$, they have made this OS unusable for me. Yep, very very sour grapes. My only question is, when I hit a school bus full of kids because I was looking at the WRITTEN directions on my phone, can I sue M$ for gross negligence?

Anyway, phone goes back today. Unfortunate. Like I said, I really wanted to like this.
[Windows Phone 7 General] brummiesteven:
It'll come by the end of the year in the form of Ovi Maps which also allows you to store maps onto the device and use it without data connection.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lekki:
Wait up, so lack of turn by turn navigation made you into the raging asshole you seem to be?

You ddin't bother checking out A to B navigation in the meantime?

You didn't bother using Sprints own Navigation?

Or is it the fact that you can't go from contacts address to navigation that's the problem?? Because your annoying responses madfe it seem like that was listed as feature and was eventually left out when that was not the case.

Get over your sense of entitlement back under your troll bridge.

I'm glad if we never see someone like you again on these forums.
[Windows Phone 7 General] DatDereX1:
It will come with a future update. MS already had turn by turn navigation with bing on wm 6.5, and now that they're working with nokia and their mapping data it will be even better.

until then use A to B
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
That is a very weak analogy (but you probably already knew that, didn't you?). You don't sign a contract to buy a new car and THEN take it out for a test drive. The test drive comes first. But that nuance aside, the notion that one should simply go into an auto dealership and blindly pick a car before determining whether or not it even offers features that are essential to that person, is just, well, silly. You don't buy a car and then later say, "wait, you mean it isn't 4-wheel drive?? EPIC FAIL!!" You ask the question FIRST. If turn-by-turn voice navigation is an essential feature for you, common sense would dictate that you would have asked if the phone supported it before buying.

Why do have a really difficult time believing that statement? I just can't put my finger on it...

Enjoy your Android phone. Some of them are very nice.

[Windows Phone 7 General] eternalemb:
I'd think so. Everyone nowadays wants everything for nothing.
[Windows Phone 7 General] emigrating:
It is not a massive fail. It has grown faster than many other, much bigger ecosystems out there.

They didn't fail to include features from a previous version. There is no previous version of WP7. Sure, it's built on Windows CE, but it is not a continuation from WM6 or earlier.

Okay, so you are missing TTS navigation. What else? What makes WP7 thin, weak and an epic fail in your opinion? Sure, I can see holes in the OS myself, by what it does offer more than makes up for what it's missing IMO.

It's not removed - it just isn't implemented at an OS level yet. There is nothing stopping you from installing an actual NAVIGATION app though.

Btw, writing M$ makes you look like a 3yr old.

Really? The lack of TTS makes the whole phone unusable to you? If there were no third-party navigational tools available in the marketplace, sure, I could see where you were coming from, but really? It's too hard for you to install an app?

How about you crawl back under the rock you came from. Geez.
