I don't know what it is but my phone refuses to scan for new media on the SDcard. I have to reboot it in order to show new files. I've attempted to use multiple SD scanners and alas none of them work. Is there any work around on this?

I've also tried to unmount and mount the SDcard with no luck... the only thing that works is a reboot.

Once again, any help would be appreciated.

[Xperia Play General] tanquef:
Does anyone know or read somewhere when a GSM version for the US 3G Bands (850/1900) is going to be released?

The closest i read is that the Canadian version from Rogers is going to Hit around April 24th...

But nothing about an unlocked version yet...

I checked several websites, but most of them publish only the EUR version, and others post both 3G bands but when i asked them, they never replied back...

Is someone in the US using this phone already with AT&T or Tmobile and the 3G is working??

Cant wait to get one of these beauties!!
[Xperia Play General] Charleszan:
You're pretty right. Here in Canada Rogers is supposed to receive their supplies around the 20th.

No official release date though.

As for the unlocked version there might be some way to unlock it for a fee once released.

Best of luck! I can't wait either!
[Xperia Play General] tanquef:
the guys from www.gummobile.com replied today, claiming that the version they sell is 3G compatible with the US.

Then to my reply asking what if i get the handset and it doesnt work, do you have a return program? their reply was, we sold one handset to someone in the US and he didnt complain...

I dont know why, but i dont entirely thrust them...

did someone here bought something from them?
[Xperia Play General] silvacrest:
i bought my desire z from them and it arrived as expected but when i asked about reuturns, they didn't want to know unless it stopped working and if that happened they would refer me to HTC

I am using mine wifi only, I already have a samsung galaxy s device on sprint (no sim cards)
[Xperia Play General] tanquef:
So you didnt test it on 3G?

luckily i didnt buy it, cause all leads says thats an European version...
[Xperia Play General] johnsongrantr:
no testing on 2g/3g or anything, I don't own a sim card to test with... Mine is wifi only. I believe it's only 1x or "edge" compatible in the US. if you want 3g in america, don't get the euro version, that goes for most cell phones.

Well ever since i gotten my gtablet last week ive had problems maintaining a stable wifi connection, well i installed a patch i found that patched the ztab drivers over.

forum.tegratab.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=9

and now i cant even connect to a network no more :( is there anywhere i can find the original drivers for the g tablet wifi and patch them back over?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SoNic67:
It happend to me and I solve it by installing the stock firmware from here. Of course you will loose everthing you have installed, so you might need to back up.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j0hnny_5:
i did that, and now it can read the networks and connect, but im back to where i started where it says connected, and i will have connectivity for a minute or two, and lose connectivity, but it will still say connected, im starting to think this is a hardware problem..

Also, i go into the Engineering menu (*#*#4364#*#*) Go to wifi information, then WiFi status, and when the wifi is connected and working, it will display a decent link speed, but when the internet stops working, but is still connected, it says a link speed of 1MBps... so what is that telling you? ps. im standing 2 feet from my router and have Full Bars....

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] majedev:
Hello,

In this guide I will show you how to enable Darktremor's a2sd (i.e. extending your internal memory using SD card, so you can install more applications easily).

This method has been tested on a rooted Galaxy ACE running Android 2.2.1. It might work on other devices, but I don't guarantee.

This guide assumes that your phone is rooted, and you have a basic knowledge in adb shell.

Please note that this script sleeps for 8 seconds at boot time to make sure that the SD card is loaded before mounting (thanks devetle and KoGi77GR).

REMEMBER: The steps below will not extend your phone's internal memory, you still have to install a2sd (link provided below) to complete the job.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] harrythescorpion:
Hi,

the link to script is broken. please upload it again! thanx!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] majedev:
You seem to have trouble downloading files from the forum. Here you go:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] devetle:
Hi majedev,

thank you. I rooted the phone and followed the way in this thread.

I can mount ext2 (2nd partition of sdcard), but my S5830 seems not running install-recovery.sh at start up. I don't know why... Please helppppppppp

Here's what "cat /system/etc/install-recovery.sh" shows:

#!/system/bin/sh

/system/bin/mount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd

/system/bin/sh /system/etc/init.d/dtapp

/system/bin/sh /system/etc/init.d/99complete

I'm wondering is that any issue that can prevent the install-recovery.sh from running at start up...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] majedev:
It might be permissions issue? Try "chmod 755 /system/etc/install-recovery.sh"

If that didn't help, please run this command as root to copy "init.rc" to your sd card, then post the file here:

cp /init.rc /sdcard/
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] devetle:
thanks~

I checked the permission, it is 755 rwxr-xr-x.

the init.rc is attached herewith.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] majedev:
Hmm, your init.rc seems fine, it executes install-recovery.sh at boot:

service flash_recovery /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
oneshot

Could you please type "mount" after mounting your ext2 partition and post the output?

By the way I noticed some differences on your init.rc wlan configuration, what's your firmware?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] devetle:
mount says: /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd ext2 rw,relatime,errors=continue 0 0

I saw another thread. It adds "sleep 10" before mounting ext2 so that the sdcard is "ready". And someone said that is not necessary.

I'm really confused.

BTW, my firmware is:

Android version

2.2.1

Baseband version

S5830ZCKC1

Kernel version

2.6.32.9-perf

se.infra@SEI-28 #1

Wed Mar 16 19:45:24 KST 2011

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] majedev:
Okay, let's check if install-recovery is actually run at boot. Execute the attached script which will add some checks on boot time, and reboot your phone. Then check if the following files exist and post their contents:

/data/local/tmp/test1

/data/local/tmp/test2

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] majedev:
Oh, it seems that I have the same thing "mount: No such file or directory" but it works just fine.

I'll consider adding sleep to my script. Thank you for your feedback
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] devetle:
Thank you for your help!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] harrythescorpion:
Hi majedev,

i have tried running your script and it just runs fine. but still i am not able to see system/sd after rebooting the phone. i have installed darktremors a2sd(by booting into recovey and running update.zip) and the installation went just fine. but still my phone internal memory is showing the same. so what should i try now? i have tried installing recovery.sh that u posted. still doesnt works. i have tried rooting and unrooting the phone and then again tried all the steps but no go.

so please guide me what should i do next? may be flash the firmware? factory reset?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] majedev:
If you were following the discussion then you most probably have the same problem as devetle did. I've updated the script so it sleeps for 5 seconds after mounting. You may want to redo the guide once again and download the updated script file.

I hope that helps.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] peeter123:
I've made the kernel modules for ext3 and ext4. Kernel: 2.6.32.9-perf.

install-recovery.sh:

#!/system/bin/sh
insmod /system/lib/modules/jbd.ko
insmod /system/lib/modules/jbd2.ko
insmod /system/lib/modules/ext3.ko
insmod /system/lib/modules/ext4.ko
mount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd
/system/bin/sh /system/etc/init.d/dtapp
/system/bin/sh /system/etc/init.d/99complete

Haven't tested it yet, but the modules insmod just fine. And a2sd says ext3 and ext4 are supported.

Maybe someone with knowledge and guts can test it by converting the partition to ext4, so install-recovery.sh becomes:

#!/system/bin/sh
insmod /system/lib/modules/jbd.ko
insmod /system/lib/modules/jbd2.ko
insmod /system/lib/modules/ext3.ko
insmod /system/lib/modules/ext4.ko
mount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd
/system/bin/sh /system/etc/init.d/dtapp
/system/bin/sh /system/etc/init.d/99complete

Pls don't test it if you have the dalvik cache on your sd. You can end up with an bootloop if it doesn't work.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] harrythescorpion:
Hi majedev,

now that worked! now if i run the df command i can see the system/sd that shows me a capacity of approx 964.1123mega bytes, which is the ext2 partition that i created. now the issue is that i cannot see my phone's internal memory increased.

its still the same.

when i run the diskcheck command in a2sd (a2sd discheck) , it says me that:: displaying disc space statistics on sd card :

-h: no such file or directory

/dev/block/mmcblk0p2: 144220k total, 12k used.

and in another of your posts, u have said that if the phone ,memory doesn't increases, try command: a2sd install, which i have also tried and gives me the following output: mv: cant rename ' data/app-private/*' no such file or directory and then it says, time, date, test, expr echo: applet not found etc..

i tried to move the delvik cache to sd card by using the command : a2sd cachesd, and it was successful, the free space increased by like 10mb's. then i ran a2sd check and it also verified the same that the cache is running from sd card. i also trying moving it back to phone, it also worked fine as well.

so where is the glitch? the card is mounted. i am able to see system/sd, i am able to move cache to sd, but still internal memory is showing as 91 mb free??

and moreover my apps and market etc have disappeared? (i have backed then up using titanium bacup, i think ill be able to recover them from there) so what should i do next?

PS: BTW i am using latest beta 4 version 2.7.5.3 of a2sd
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] majedev:
Do you have BusyBox installed?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] majedev:
Dude these are hot stuff, I'll give it a shot after finishing my homeworks :'(

But don't you think ext3/4 journaling is too much I/O for sd cards?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] harrythescorpion:
yes i do!

have updated it when i installed titanium backup and i have verified it by running root checker. it says that busybox is installed correctly.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] majedev:
Ok, try executing "a2sd usedtbusybox" then "a2sd install" and post the complete output here.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] exception.cpp:
:(

I spend two days for experiments with my S5830:

1. First try - partition by minitool my 8Gb SD card, at end create ext2 partition with 500Mb size. I perform all manipulation from this thread and install a2sd at end. Result: all work fine BUT after every changes on SD card (even after 'cp temp ...' from phone console) fsck_msdos and e2fsck find errors ! After every changes :( All programs look fine and all they work - but after every reboot I found new files in LOST.FOUND directories :( My SD card is fine - I check they by many tools.

2. Second try - clear all data, install lastest firmware, perform hard-reset. Partition SD card from linux and create 1GB ext4 partition at end of card and add space between FAT32 and EXT4 partition (about 64Mb). Same result - LOSG.FOUND files after every reboot :(

Can anybody help ?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] anhtuank15:
thanks u so must ^^
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] majedev:
Your apps are linked correctly to sd card. The errors you saw above were part of the "fix_permissions" script, which has nothing to do with linking sd card, but seems to be fixing some issues with some Android versions after installing a2sd.

Anyways, you can also try linking your /data/data to sd card by executing "a2sd datasd", and if you like you can also move dalvik-cache using "a2sd cachesd". These should work without any trouble.

As for the "fix_permissions" you can fix it by editing the script "/system/bin/fix_permissions" and change all "busybox" instances to "busybox.a2sd" (lines 42-60), then execute it.

I hope that helps.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] majedev:
Sorry dude can't help you with this one, I'm not expert in file systems. For me, ext2 and ext3 played nicely and never had file check errors.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] exception.cpp:
This is impossible !! :( I get another SDcard (16Gb), another card-reader, make two primary partition FAT32 and EXT2, manually write boot script for mount EXT2 partition and manualy create some links from /DATA/DATA/.... files to /ext2 partition (not whole direcroty DATA). I not use a2sd at this time. And I again have same problem - lost+found dir after every reboot contains new files, fsck_msfos and e2fsck again found promlem after write information. :((((
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] harrythescorpion:
ill try that. but now after moving the cache to sd and linking data to sd card, if still my internal storage shows the same, and if the space is getting occupied on internal phone memory, and after it is full, will the apps start moving on card automatically?? and can you please post a picture of your internal and external memory occupied?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] majedev:
No, once you move data and dalvik-cache, all installed and new apps will go directly to external memory, consequently, you should notice some freed space on your internal memory.

Without moving dalvik-cache, my internal memory usage is (50.38 MB), and my external memory usage is (116.18 MB)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] harrythescorpion:
now that worked, my phone memory is only 4.4mb used and rest it shows as my sd card which is 1.2gb full(i have some other stuff lying there as well).

now that m sure of that the all new application are getting installed and executed from sd card. but what i feel like is the space is getting used on fat32 partition not the ext2 partition.

and can you throw more light on this, when i execute the a2sd diskspace command.. following is the output that i get:

# a2sd diskspace

what do u say about this? it should display the free memory on ext2 right?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] majedev:
That's weird! How did you partition your sd card? 1st partition is FAT32 and second is EXT2, right?

Also, try running "df" and "mount" as root and post the output for each one.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] majedev:
Well, everything seems fine at your end, maybe you installed apps that actually go to /sdcard partition as part of Froyo's app2sd, and that's why your fat32 partition free space decreased, like these ones:

I use an 8 GB sd card too, without any troubles.

You can reset data to internal memory using "a2sd nodata". Documentation for a2sd can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=158826790833326
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] KoGi77GR:
Thanks for the guide majedev...

I think you need to correct something though.

You've put the sleep command after the mounting of ext2.

I had to move it before the mount in order to work at startup.

And devetle said that it worked for him when he added the sleep before the mount!

I added a sleep 8 and it also worked.

Now I'll move on to installing A2SD... thanks for the guide again!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] majedev:
Thanks for pointing this out, I perceived devetle's post the other way around! I've updated the script: 8 seconds sleep before mounting sd card.

And you're most welcome :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] harrythescorpion:
**may be off topic.. :o**

Hi,

i was thinking of re-partitioning my sd card again. i have an ext2 partition og 1gig on my 8gig card. now when i tried to do so, none of the partition managers (paragon/minitool-easeus) are able to recognize the ext2 partition, all of them are recognizing the fat32. so how can i format and bring the card back to full capacity. i googled and the best possible resolution was to burn a ubuntu live cd and do a format from that. is there any other way???
