[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gfacer:
No I had the same issue. From what I understand if there are no file names under the do not turn off target line and no blue progress bar on the phone then you waited too long from connection to flashing. Get everything ready and then connect the phone and start.

Nothing has been done yet at the stage you mention.

Just pull out the battery, boot into download mode again and try flashing once more, it will pass successfully this time. ;)

[Acer Iconia A500] Amdathlonuk:
Just got my Iconnia last week and it's stunning.

However if I drag .apk's onto my 32Gb SD Card I can't seem to find them using Linda File manager.

Is there a particular programme I need to use to access it?

When I look into Storage it only seems to show my internal memory, howevermy Gallery DOES find my camera pics on the card so what am I doing wrong?
[Acer Iconia A500] UnicornKaz:
Dragging using what ?? on desktop PC ?? ( best is to copy & paste )

for when on the iconia... I downloaded "Astro file manager" ... there are many others...etc

your Ext_SDCard and USB storage is under the sub directory of

/mnt

You should post in the "General" section...as this is the "DEV" section...;)

File Manager for Honeycomb.
[Acer Iconia A500] ignitros:
I ran into this problem when I first got mine too.

The external sd card is actually showing in mnt/external_sd in your root folder

Basically this means that when you use astro file manager or root explorer and you open that instead of clicking on sdcard you click the folder listed as "mnt" then external sd

Currently, I have an OG Moto Droid running 2.3.3. I use PdaNet on the phone to occasionally tether my notebook and netbook, and sometimes my NookColor (currently not working as I haven't been able to change the wpa_supplicant file correctly since I installed CM7 on the NC).

What I am currently trying to do right now is use the Bluetooth DUN in PdaNet on the Droid to allow internet access to some non-wifi blackberries. Why? Because I have to support apps on blackberry devices and my company discontinued service on all of the training devices. The few that have wifi are still functional, but the rest are useless.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rickroller:
Just wondering how much I should read into the Speedtest.net results? I'm on the French spf 2.1.1 and while sometimes my up/down speeds are alright (3.5-4Mbps down / 1.5 up) most of of the time they are terrible (1.0-1.5 down and .1 up). I've tried reflashing radios and while it works good for a few times afterwards..it always goes back to being slower than a red headed step child.

I'm not sure if its just the towers i'm running off..because i've done the tests at 2 or 3am and they seem great..and then later on in the day they seem terrible. Should I be concerned about this or is anyone else experiencing similiar results?

Hi all

I heard about this some time ago, but now there is silent. Could somebody tell me about progress in this project. Thanks in advance
[Bada Software and Hacking General] mushrom:
androbada is fake,

about the current REAL android porting:

you should read the irc logs

there are 3 diferent builds

- oleg_k one : galaxyS build booting from jtag, most advanced one in theory but unusable without JTAG box

- emulator kernel one: stable but no drivers no screen etc booting by FOTA hole

-galaxyS kernel booting from FOTA hole, services restating. only adb in recovery mode working

in resume anything usefull for normal pple for now.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] nbates66:
clarification: pretty much NONE of the work being done by the people here (oleg k, rebellos, mijoma etc) is related to androbada, the androbada project was a SCAM. Please do NOT relate them.

additionally, all current kernel builds are also built from Olegs kernel source
[Bada Software and Hacking General] mushrom:
lol thats true, i didnt remember i thought he was just asking for android on wave...

btw... i think someone said something about an emulator kernel...
[Bada Software and Hacking General] nbates66:
anghelyi managed to get stable services by copying the android filesystem *from* an android emulator, he couldn't get the display to work though, best he could do is see the gui by capturing screenshots from the phone through Dalvik Debug Monitor, best i've done without files from the emulator is screenshots of the Bootlogo's and i9000 looping boot animation, which also doesn't appear on the Wave's display.

Am i doing something stupid, I cant get the mp3's I have on my SD card to be seen in the Albums/Artists etc in the stock music player app.

I can see no option to "add" them into it.

They exist on the external SD card.

Not had this issue before.. anyone got any ideas?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mlhdk:
Try to copy the files to your pc - and then format thd sd-card when it is in the phone. Copy the files back on the sd-card.

I have a similar problem on my SGS, and this method was the solution.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] payaxy:
My first issue with Galaxy S II. Will have to try this, my 15GB of music on external sd is not recognised :(

Still, anybody found out why this is happening in the first place? The only thing I remember doing that had anything to do with sdcard was installing Multi Mount SD-Card widget in hopes that it would give me quick access to mounting sdcard as mass storage. Didn't work though, uninstalled it and now music not recognised. I can see it in file manager no problem,it's just media store that is not finding anything on external sd card

Thanks for any tips.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stratplayer:
I should have replied back.

Doing exactly the recommended worked a treat.

Now any new files i add to the SD card work fine. It's odd why it didnt work from day one though, but it works now!

any tips on what might have caused it?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] payaxy:
flashed new version 1.4 of Villain ROM, and again, SD card music not recognized. Anybody found out the reason for this?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris-t-an:
I think the only plausible reason for this issue may be the file system that the ROM uses. After each time you change the ROM, try to make sure that you format the SD card to avoid problems like this in the future.

If it isn't about the file system, then I don't know, maybe the problem could be caused by the ROM itself, since it's "home-made", or some damaged components in the device. Anyway, I got this problem too and I have an original ROM, so I'll just try the formatting method.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolbeans2016:
same problem think it is different reason

I'm having a same issue here but noticed it involved more than this and it happened at a certain app install. Hope someone here will recognize something in this post and help me not have to re-install my entire stock ruu, starting over.

The stock music player quit finding the mp3's on ext_sd card. First noticed this, but the stock gallery will not find photos as well.

I used Twrp to do a factory reset and was installing files again (most of my favorite apk's are stored on ext_sd card) and had to start with ES File Manager. When I went to setup ES File Manager up it will also not log into my network! So, after a factory reset these three things are happening and all of this started after loading Sterickson's permission fixer. The one on the app store that has the badly drawn cd image as app icon. Is there anyway to fix this or do I have to go back to the stock rom install to fix what his permission fixer trashed?

HTC One sv BOOST running JB 4.2.2 unlocked/HTCDev, rooted/Chainfire SU & s-off/rumrunner.

Irritating to say the least.

Does using the extra row/column option drain battery? I tried setting my homescreen to 5x5 and under battery usage, android os took up like 50%
[General Questions and Answers] Bigdragon2k3:
Could be something else. Did it say launcher pro was draining it the most?
[General Questions and Answers] Heisenberg420:
It said android os, but its usually either display or phone idle, so I assumed it was the the change I made to the rows and columns
[General Questions and Answers] cordoni:
That would not be your cause. Going to 5 rows is only changing the layout of the launcher. Unless you completely filled up that space with Widgets, then that is not you cause. Try downloading System Panel and using the monitor feature to see which app is draining the battery.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Waqas:
Firstly, I would like to pay respect to the developers who mapped the hardware button for the camera app. Respect to you all. Starting this thread hoping those same geniuses would be able to solve this problem. Android generally has this crazy notion that if i want to send a long sms, it will be cheaper for me to send an mms. I get like unlimited sms but i gotta pay for each mms i send so everytime i need to send a long sms, it costs me money. plus, if the recipient does not have mms configured, its money lost from my side and nothing recieved on theirs. so is there any way to stop the native messaging app from converting sms to mms after 3 sms length.

currently using Handcent sms for long sms but its a pain and it crashes often.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsswoosh:
uhm.

why would a long sms convert to a mms?

I've never seen this happen.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Waqas:
Have no idea why this happens. if i use "MyPhoneExplorer" to compose sms on pc and send them, this problem doesn't occur. tonight, i decided to send a long sms directly from my phone and i saw that it converts to mms. so decided to google it and it appears Xplay isn't the only phone with this problem. a quick browse on google shows that loads of device owners are frustrated by this. check it out on your stock device as mine is stock also. just bootloader unlocked and rooted ;-)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlukek89:
Yea, mine does the same, bootloader locked, and does it un-rooted and rooted.

Very annoying. You'd think sony ericsson would have made this an option.

But i did have this issue with 2.1 on my motorola milestone.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AriStar:
mine just gives me a notification saying it will send 2 SMS, it even counts down hoow many characters i have left until it adds another SMS to it (only when below 20 character left)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
Its after lyk 4 or 5 sms's it turns it into a mms, i can confirm every android phone i have had (hero, desire, desire hd and xplay) have all done this, i resorted to sending half an sms then writing the other half n sending that lol
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsswoosh:
I just tested mine to 5 sms. All it does it countdown how many characters I have left for each sms, and then adds another sms.

Converting into an mms sounds like a cheap trick to make more money by some carriers.

I am with Vodafone Uk and they don't use this trick yet it seems, although thanks for this post because now I will be keeping an eye out for this.

Still don't see it as much of a problem though. Just send one sms at a time?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Laird_Attwood:
Happens often here (when going into 4th txt), I just break messages down not to get stung with a MMS charge.

It can be annoying as when breaking the message down you can get a reply from the other side before they have read the full message, which can cause confusion.

Well the solution is to go with a network provider that doesn't adopt this cheap tactic.

Alternatively, telephone them and threaten legal action with demand for all lost money sent on mms.

Changing an sms into an mms can not possibly be legal.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Waqas:
Ok just to make a few things clear. I noticed this problem on my Xplay which has a stock rom 2.3.2 and i got it sim-free. i have tried it with several different vendors, like vodafone UK, 3, O2 and international vendors in Pakistan as well. Also, i've tried composing a message with no sim in it and still have the same problem. So its a problem with the OS and not network related. Saw the same problem on a stock Galaxy S Sim-free.

So Devs, please find a solution to this if possible.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Laird_Attwood:
how can it be network providers?

I got my handset SIM free (generic UK rom) and have used a few networks. it does it on all of them. and reports of it being the same on other Android devices.

It is nothing to do with networks, it Android OS.

free text messaging for years a lot of people have got use to typing large text messages over here.

It would be great if it could be altered but it's not a huge deal (liveable) just have to keep an eye out for the counter to change to MMS.

at least we don't have to pay to send and receive messages 'yet' as i've heard about in other Countries. Although contract lengths have started to follow other rip off Countries such as US/Canada so it may happen soon :p
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Laird_Attwood:
It's strange yours does it on the 6th, I get it on the 5th each time.

We aren't crazy though, it happens and happens on other Android handsets. If it was network it would happen on other devices owned and it doesn't.

both 2.3.2 and 2.3.3 have done it for me. As per my previous post its nothing that I can't live with but it would be nice not to have to think about it if I need to send a long text message. (before anyone says anything - when email is not an option) my folks both have 'dumb' phones and so do other people i know.

I have the problem since two days! After unlocking my bootloader and flashing Dooms Kernel I had to re-set up my device. Since then, when I start the SMS/MMS-App, there is no "Send" button but just the MMS button.

When I start typing a message, the "send"-button appears. But if I have too many words, so 2 or more messsages would be needed, it switches to MMS only...

So there must be something in the settings or there must be an App that I delted after setting it up new...
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 007shark:
There are settings relating to the length of an sms before converting to mms in the android system. I came across the settings the other day. I will search for them again.

EDIT: On decompiling the stock mms.apk on the verizon R800x, I found in /res/xml/mms_config.xml this line: <int name="smsToMmsTextThreshold">4</int>

I believe changing this to maybe 6 with allow more characters before switching the sms to a mms.

Man, the Htc Desire Z is a much powerful hardware than the Moto Milestone.

To keep things short, the Milestone has significantly less powerful hardware when compared to the DZ. As well, the Milestone's bootloader is locked so there are less opportunities for modding.
