[Xoom Android Development] dinomight:
Ok I know this is going to sound stupid but i was just testing my own xoom. What was weird was that it switched to the progress spinner then it went away. But the usb mass storage was then available (even though the icon and button didn't change). If i clicked on the button again (even though it still said click here to enable) it then disabled the ums. Could you check to see if you click enable (and the button doesn't switch is the storage actually accessable (can you browse through d:\ or whatever it is.) I tested this on linux and windows.

I know that you're probably having some other issue but i just wanted to check. Unfortunately the logs are not 100% definitive on this issue. I think for this issue it will need some help from brd. My app only tells the android system to enable ums. Which it does successfully . Whether or not the system enables it is up to android and the kernel. So assuming that you don't actually get it mounted. Then i need to get with brd and hash this one out.

One more thing can you check the permissions on your /sdcard/external folder (use some sort of file manager or adb shell). I'd like to compare it to my own.
[Xoom Android Development] bappems:
Thanks for checking, but I don't get anything mounted on my Windows 7 (64bit) machines. Permissions on /mnt/sdcard/external are:

Group: RWX

User: RWX

Other: RW

I'm not sure if this is relevant, but I've been having issues with sideloading applications (or installing APK's) when I've been playing with this. I can download, or ADB push them, but when I go to install them, the install button is not active. I have to remove your app, and fix permissions in order to get everything back again. Not saying its your app, but I thought it might be something relevant.

I'll be happy to test just about anything :-) .

Mark

EDIT: Nope... The problem with the sideloading was not your application. After a little testing, it's an application called "Screen Filter" that is doing it. Uninstalled and attempted your application again, but still having the same problems with it mounting.

So I've got UMS working...sees whatever I plug in except for hfs of course...that TV's.

My problem is that every time it opens it wants to download the new version of busybox...if I say yes, it downloads and asks me to download again...anyway to prevent this? Or is busybody not installed properly on my xoom?

I am running stock rom with tiamat 1.4.3 kernel.

Thanks!
[Xoom Android Development] bappems:
Update

Just an update dinomight:

Changed out the kernel for LaunchPad 1.2.2 (was using Tiamat 1.4.4). Everything is working as in mounting to the computer. A few refresh problems with the main GUI, but other than that it seems to be working.

Once question... Is just the /mnt/sdcard/external suppose to mount, or should both /mnt/sdcard and /mnt/sdcard/external be showing up as removable media?

Mark
[Xoom Android Development] dinomight:
As far as i know it's just /mnt/sdcard/external that will mount as usb mass storage. I'd like to have it mount both... or really just /mnt/sdcard(since external would be accessable via that mount) but this is something for the kernel to decide. Personally i think it's better to move the external sd card out of /mnt/sdcard to something like /mnt/MicroSDCard ... i think there are stability issues due to the mount within a mount.

If i remember correctly brd wanted to move it out as well (i could be wrong but i thought he told me that).

By the way is there anyone using the tiamat rom who gets the insertion notifications. Let me explain.

When you insert a usb mass storage device (suck as a memory stick) the system should pop up a notification asking you what program you want to handle that device. (if you've already selected the popup doesn't come up) and then it should automatically open up umswatcherotg.... I know it works on stock but i've never gotten it to work with the tiamat rom. I want to know if anyone has actually gotten it to work properly (i don't want to start talking to brd or anyone about the problem if it's just something on my end.) I've got a new version for people who are having problems mounting usb mass storage (to a computer). It has a few extra debug info that it sends me (other than that it's exactly the same. I don't want to put it up on the market since it's just a test/dev build. If you are having the problem email me and i'll send it to you.

-D
[Xoom Android Development] bappems:
I would have to agree with you on your first point. It would be much better if it was mounted as completely seperate from /mnt/sdcard.

On your second... I'm still on stock ROM but switching Kernels from Tiamat to Launchpad, so I cant be of any help on that one. I get the same response as you do on the stock ROM.

If you need a tester for your Dev/Test build.... Let me know and I'll reflash Tiamat's Kernel and go from there.

[Xoom Android Development] dinomight:
Ok i need a guinea pig ... someone who is having trouble with ums working. I think i have a fix but since i never had the problem i can't confirm that it is fixed. I call the fix "Sloppy" mode... It uses another method of enabling ums but it bypasses the normal way. Not to bore you with the details i'll just say it isn't ideal but it does work (whether or not it fixes the problem that people have been having is another story.) So please someone email me and i can send you the test build. (i don't want it on the market until i have it tested.)

-D
[Xoom Android Development] dinomight:
Good to hear your ums is working... I'll look at my receivers. i've been doing a lot of tuning as i've been working lately. working a lot more to thread everything. I know there is a lot that gets run multiple times including a lot of the shell commands. I need to get more effecient about data storage and updating system information. If i had more access to do things without using shell commands it would save a lot but i've not been able to think of a better way of getting the information. and with few intents it means that things have to be run to keep things fresh.... I'll fix the register reciever issues. (I know what to do.)

THanks for testing i hope things work well for you going forward.

-D
[Xoom Android Development] dro1dfan:
that would be awesome
[Xoom Android Development] dinomight:
I found it!

Ok i just got done working with someone who was having issues mounting ums.... i know there are a few of you out there with this problem. and i found it..... i found the cause. And i have a solution. It will still be a separate mode, and will replace sloppy mode, but i'm very confident that i found the problem and the solution. I will put up a new version tonight, but please anyone who is still having the issue, email me, gtalk me.... i need some more people to test against. I'll be gone for another hour and a half but as soon as i'm home i'll change the code..... I can tell you how to test my solution without a new version in your hands.. the more people i have that i can test with the better.

I can't tell you how excited i am bout this. Most of my other attempts to fix this were shots in the dark (since i wasn't able to replicate) but this time i have a confirmed fixed user. BooYA!

Anyone experiencing this? My start menu continuous showing up without pressing the start button.

I really appreciate all the help that i can get. . thanks in advance.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] Hakim Rahman:
try to hard reset your device first so that the device returns to the default settings - the way it is when you first buy and turn it on, after that you can reflash again

to guide how to do a hard reset on htc Herald you can see it in http://www.hardreset.eu/htc_herald_(p4350)_hard_reset_soft_reset.html

I dont know if the problem is the hardware. I do not bring my phone to the technician for my HTC has not been sold here in our country. My problem still in here. .But it is now less active. I try re-aligning my screen every time the start button clicking continues. Don't stop re-aligning while holding the start button on the key pad until the continues clicking stops. Holding down the start button at the keypad pervent the start menu on continues clicking that's why you need to hold it down while re-aligning the screen.

I rooted my atrix with gingerbreak my dads phone and mine, and I went to mobiles24.com to download a app and then it downloaded it and I went to install the app and it says: This application comes from an unknown source, and for your security only applications from trusted sources can be installed. So Im not understanding why I can't download 3rd party apps and I do have my allow mock locations setting on please help.

In the same menu as allow mock locations there is an option about untrusted sources. If you enable that it will work.

Everybody has an opinion on this. Experience has shown that each phone has differences in how well certain ROMS/Kernels work. Trust me, just try different ROMS and see which one you like and which works best on your phone.

After trying many I have settled on Myn's Warm 2.2 RLS5. It is smooth as butter and everything works well on it. I have also found Netarchy's kernels work well on my phone and give me great battery life, even with heavy usage.

Again, don't be afraid to experiment and see what works best on your phone. Always make a Nand back up before you start.

[Acer Iconia A500] prometheus2704:
As the subject of my post says, when looking in Device Information, the following is reported:

Product SKU - 3G

Device info Version - 1.0

Manufacturer - Acer

Model ID - A501

What do you guys make of that? I'm reluctant to pull the sticker that is covering the slot where a SIM card would be inserted to determine if the hardware is in there and they're just not letting us access it. Trying to look either side of the sticker, I cannot see if there are connectors there or not.

What do others think?

Prometheus2704
[Acer Iconia A500] Budadank:
You're not alone. Mine is the same. If you pull the sticker away you will find there is nothing inside to hold a SIM card in place and it will fall inside the unit. It's just lazy software development that is the reason that the Iconia reports as being an A501.
[Acer Iconia A500] trothmaster:
not only does mine also report as 501 but I also have 32gigs instead of 16!!
[Acer Iconia A500] kalric:
Well mine says its an A501 as well, so to satisfy my curiosity, I pulled the sticker off, and no sim socket. just a metal bar with no pins/leads or anything.

Guess this one will be going back because theres no possibility of 4G, GPS sucks and for what i need it for, i can use my smartphone.

Dont get me wrong, the specs are great, however I dont think Honeycomb is ready for primetime since its still a maintenance release.

[Acer Iconia A500] Dalrimple:
FYI, this issue with the unit reporting as an a501 has a link to the cell standby drain. The software doesn't differentiate between a500 and a501, only the hardware is lacking. Thus cell radio drain.

They're working on a fix for that developer-side, doing some testing. Can't wait to get rid of that drain.
[Acer Iconia A500] bahurd:
Actually, my unit reports as A500 and also shows the cell battery drain. So... is it software, hardware, Acer or Honeycomb?
[Acer Iconia A500] Vereynn:

My tablet reports itself as an A500. My battery also reports cell standby drain.
[Acer Iconia A500] chameo53:
A500 and A501

Did a little looking around and it would appear that the A500 is the 3G model (looks like currently available in the UK) and the A501 is the WiFi only model. Actual pricing for each model is also considerably different which is understandable given the additional internals needed for 3G. I have no basis other than looking at what is in front of us but I expect that there was no intent to ever build just one version of the hardware and just require one to purchase a SIM card and pay for 3G/4G access. Makes no business sense. Could be wrong but I believe other tablets (like the Xoom) are priced considerably different between the 3G and the Wifi-only models.

All that being said, the battery drain for the non-cell version is unaccepatble and should be fixable.

Just picked up my Acer A500 (or A501 depending on where in the About Device you are looking) - came from an Elocity A7 and am loving the new purchase.

because here in thailand we got the 32GB Wifi only.
[Acer Iconia A500] netham45:
My 16GB wifi is A501.
[Acer Iconia A500] UnicornKaz:
take a look around (in fact, READ the first few posts of this very same thread)... there seems to be some weird things with Acer rolling out kernel or rom that read incorrectly and packaging 32GB devices into a 16GB boxes and vice versa...etc

my 32GB wifi SKU reads WIFI but I have seen people reporting their WIFI device SKU read as 3G also ... etc

but on paper and press releases, A500 is the WIFI and the A501 is the 3G versions. :cool:

A501 (3G) is not release yet ( I believe only in the UK for now ) ... and it is not even shown on the official Acer page yet either.

They just installed one HC build to both models and namely the 3G version one. All the have to do is change the builds display name and remove the 3G files from the os. Which btw you can do it yourself by renaming them.

Netham45 unicorn is right... You have the A500 it just says it's the A501. The A501 is the 3G model which will someday be released. :)

You should test a little bit more 2.3. The revamped version of it seems to be pretty awesome.

I tested my GPS on 2.3 EB 1.03 and it was working pretty good.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
Well I've ran them all and it's a good question. If I had to choose I would go with the leaked GB rom right now. Unfortunately it caused lockups and reboots for me every few hours. It seemed to run great other then that. So if it is not locking up or not causing you problems then I'd do that.

I haven't tried EaglesBlood 1.0.3 yet but I have it on my SD card waiting. I've heard good things but it is based off the leaked build thus I'm assuming will reset my phone like the leaked build.

So I'm running CM7 #9 right now and it is pretty good. It doesn't like playing 3D games as a few I tried lock up the device. I had one time where the phone was stucknon the lock screen and I had to do a battery pull as the power button wouldn't respond.

So while CM7 is getting there, it is far from being perfect as it is still in it's early stages. If stock GB works then go that route or EaglesBlood if you want something a little more custom.me personally I like the look of stock and nothing pre-themed. The other available Roms are still buggy with their radios which doesn't make them good candidates for a daily driver.
