1) I use Root Explorer and I can see the USB Storage in the MNT directory in the root of the device.

2) from the PC, adb i assume, but i've never done this. For network, try Samba server - https://market.android.com/details?id=com.funkyfresh.samba&feature=search_result.
[Acer Iconia A500] dalepl:
To answer the first one, no, there is no application to read the external data drives.

As for the second, to transfer files between these, you need to get a file explorer like Root Explorer. The multimedia apps have the ability to access the external data drives so if you want to store music and/or movies on them, you do not have to use up your internal memory.

Hope that answered your question.
[Acer Iconia A500] vari9:
Does 3.1 add ntfs support??....if not can I make it support without rooting my tab??
[Acer Iconia A500] simetra420:
Root explorer works great, so does File Manager HD
[Acer Iconia A500] Neoprimal:
I use Astro, in Astro I see them all. Home, Up and you'll see all the storage areas.

Astro will allow you to move things back and forth between SD, USB and Internal storage.

Nothing that I know of, will allow you to directly view your USB or MicroSD using your PC, by directly I mean through the microusb connection.

There's an app called Wifi File Explorer Pro which may allow you to see them on the PC however I'm not certain as I never used it extensively and may be more trouble than it's worth as you'll have to open a port in your router for it to work properly.

Hope this helps.
[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
Any file manager can access /mnt/external_sd and /mnt/usb_storage.

Drive mount or USB mount all can mount ntfs drives. Must be rooted.

Can only access internal memory front PC. End of story until google/Acer fixes it.
[Acer Iconia A500] vari9:
I am on 3.1 ota and I wanted to root it for ntfs support.....but don't want to void my warranty.....(weather here is too humid so generally all electronic devices don't work or something or the other happens to them)...so I will unroot later to claim my warranty.....what else can I do with root.....(no custom roms..).......
[Acer Iconia A500] tkirton:
Any file system application (ASTRO, Root Explorer) can access all storage devices in your system. The location for the storage devices is /mnt.

Note that the /mnt/sdcard directory is actually a FUSE mount of /data/local

The directories related to storage are:

/mnt/sdcard - a FUSE image of /data/local. This is internal storage.

/mnt/external_sd - The microSD card. Must be FAT32.

/mnt/usb_drive - A USB drive of some sorts...can be a thumb drive or a hard drive. Not sure about 3.1, but 3.0.1 needed this drive to be FAT32.

Answer...other than ADB, no (until Acer fixes that). When you mount your tablet to your PC, you are connecting to a FUSE partition, which is an image of /data/local. You can transfer files between /data/local (via FUSE partition) and your PC. Unfortunately, because you are accessing a FUSE partition, you are restricted to only /data/local (so you can't get to /mnt). ADB is a known exception (as it uses USB Debugging to access the tablet), but that isn't graphical at all (all command line, which means it is a lot of typing).
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
op mentioned ES file explorer

Use it myself - as I really like the interface and the LAN access works great for me.

You can see all your storage devices from es explorer

/mnt/sdcard = internal memory

/mnt/external_sd = microsd card

/mnt/USB_drive = USB based storage device

If you want to mount ntfs you need to root.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] surtrav3:
Hey all. I am having trouble finding a Rom that will work on my Fascinate. I have ROM Manager and all the options I am getting from that are for builds that are different than mine. I tried several that were not labeled with a build and they all failed. I am using Clockwork Mod recovery. As it finishes the restart and begins applying the Rom it says that files failed to initialize. Operation aborted. Here are my phone details:

Firmware: 2.2.1 Froyo

Base band: S:i500.04 V.EC01

Kernel:2.6.32.9

Build:SCH-I500.ED03.

Any suggestions on a Rom and kernel (non-voodoo please) that will work with my phone? Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to flash via Odin to accomplish this? I would rather use Clockwork Mod if possible. Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Please excuse my ignorance as I am pretty new at this rooting stuff but learn a bit more everyday. Thanks again.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nunyazz:
1. ROM manager is a big no-no for the fascinate.

2. You probably need to install a newer CWM via odin.

3. I am using ComRom2.1 w/ OTB 1/6 kernal (voodoo) but all you have to do is disable voodoo in the CWM settings.

4. Not sure why you don't want a voodoo kernal.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1013312

Scroll though that thread. It has all the current roms and kernals and even CWM versions.

Please help, I got the 3d on release day and the visual voicemail has never worked, when someone leaves me a voicemail instead of the sprint voicemail app letting me know or getting a notification on the bar I get a text message from 9016 with a cryptic message that tells me someone left a message, my friends both have OG evos that are doing the same thing, but my wifes og evo running myn 2.2 works fine, wtf, is this a 2.3 issue or what
[HTC EVO 3D] HuDuVuDu:
are you using handsent? I have been having the same problem. Called sprint 3 times. They factory reset my phone and that worked. then it started not working again. Sprint told me to take back my phone and get a new one.

a quick search came up with Handsent issue. If you set handsent to be the default messaging program and disable the stock one, it messes up the VVM. uncheck the box for use as default, and it should start working again. That is what fixed mine.
[HTC EVO 3D] evilbeef54:
Okay that could be it, but if I disable it as the default then I dont get picture texts

Probably, but you need to back up data first I case you have to do a data wipe. Also, wherever you downloaded the deodexed patch from should have some directions. (Just assuming you didn't do it yourself...)

[Acer Iconia A500] GCurry:
I have the OG Droid as phone and have gotten quite used to speech input, particularly with Vlingo. THe recognition is surprisingly good.

So I was disappointed (probably my only disappointment) when the speech input on my A500 wasn't producing equivalent results.

Part of the problem, I thought, was that Vlingo doesn't run yet on the A500. Part of the problem might be the tiny little microphone in the crevice between glass and frame (I think), which is coverec by the Acer case that came with the A500.

So I tried my Motorola S305 stereo headphones on bluetooth and imagine it was a little better, but still not like the old droid.

So I am wondering if someone can guide me on what to do to improve speech input on the A500. Also find myself wondering if there is a really good headset (stereo + good mic) that works well with voice input.
[Acer Iconia A500] ingrouille:
I'm having similar mic issues. I find the mic to be sub par in talk and absolutely awful with skype. So far after almost 2 months solid use this I my only gripe with this lovely device. I'd also love to have a recommendation on a headset to use with the A500.

Thanks.
[Acer Iconia A500] jkrell:
I've been wondering this too... for use with GTalk and/or GrooVe IP.
[Acer Iconia A500] NotBillable:

i got my a500 replaced and found the mic on the new one much more effective.
[Acer Iconia A500] Fox9p3400:
Where is the microphone exactly?
[Acer Iconia A500] rchrdcrg:
If you hold the tablet with the multiport at the bottom, the mic is just above the screen where the black glass part of the bezel meets the metal part... there's a tiny hole you can see there, and that's the mic. I vaguely remember reading in the dev section that someone took it apart and there is some noise cancelling thingy that's causing issues. I even tried recording using a high quality recording app like PCM Recorder (set at 44.1KHz), and it sounds like it was recorded off of someone's old landline telephone... kind of a shame.
[Acer Iconia A500] darkgoth678:
excuse my stupidity but I still can't find the mic.

By "multiport" you mean the dock port at the bottom?

Does anyone have the carhome app. I found one but when i installed it doesnt show up in my app list
[Samsung Infuse 4G] slider2828:
Its not supposed to show up on your apps list. This is how I do it in launcherpro.

Create a shortcut to 'activities'. Then select carhome.carhome.carhome

Its there but only on the activities list and you have to make a shortcut

It shows up in the apps list of the standard launcher as "Samsung Car Home". Dunno about the TW launcher.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Truckerglenn:
The market is showing that Googles Car Home is not compatible with the Infuse. Maybe that's why it's not showing up.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] LochNiss:
i got the app from here by googling "carhome apk" and selecting the droid life link (i can't post links yet). then you need launcher pro to use the app. follow slider's post above to use.

Slider,

I was using "Launcher" and now that I downloaded Launcher Pro it has changed all of my icons when I hit the home button. Is there anyway to copy the settings from "launcher" to "launcher pro"?

Thanks again
[Samsung Infuse 4G] slider2828:
No, unfortunately not... I think its 2 completely different developers.... sorry....

Um... you can also get the samsung car dock and don't install the samsung car home, instead just use the google car home... Plug it in and bam, google car home comes up... just saying =)
[Thunderbolt General] iakamand:
So I was just wondering why would we flash roms? I mean the current stock os is almost bug free + when flashing roms we are faced with some major bugs sometimes.

I know that we would have the choice to remove bloatware, cutomise status bar, and sometime oc. That's all nice but still I don't see why not leave it as is?

Please excuse my ignorance. I just came from a rooted Dinc w/ miui

And I wanna have a better understanding.

[Thunderbolt General] setexascustoms:
For me it's the freedom to do with my phone what I want. These developers kick out some sweet features that we'll never see from a stock ROM, and they get us the latest software before the manufacturers. I bug here or there is well worth it for me, and if it's to bad you can always revert. If you prefer the stock experience, than by all means leave it alone. But me, I'm a tinkerer. Be it a car, truck, bike... or yes, even a phone, I can't leave well enough alone.:D

To pick up chicks......I haven't met one yet that's not turned on by 48+ mflops!

[Thunderbolt General] novafoundry:
This might seem like an odd answer... I flash so I can have a standard interface on my phones. I've had a droid, droid x, and thunderbolt in the last year and a half (my company does some android development on in house apps for one of our clients, and we go through a lot of test phones). having something close to a stock interface minimizes the daily annoyances of moving between those phones.... which is why I use the aosp roms.

3. WiFi tethering according to the FCC - should be free.

5. Some people just like to tinker and tinkering with PC's is getting long in the tooth. (Windows, Linux, FreeBSD - eh had enough)

6. AOSP - how Google intended these phones to be.

7. The thrill of risking $700.00

8. A reason to ignore wife, girlfriend, kids, parents, life-partner etc. for a few hours.

9. Hours upon hours of reading geeky forums.

10. _____________________________
[Thunderbolt General] RockyCJC:
It comes down to a number of reasons. For me it is a sense of being able to customize all aspects of my device. But there are improvements with battery life, gaining features before they are officially released, having a development community that is responsive and constantly fixing issues (as opposed to Verizon and HTC who take months to release updates to their phones). etc. etc. etc.
[Thunderbolt General] bbhero:
It was pretty simple to me when I had the cdma hero why I needed to flash. 528mhz processor plus htc sense on bloated eclair=horrible lag. I put cm6 on and even though it was unstable at the time, I never looked back. I got used to AOSP on the hero and have flashed an AOSP rom on almost every android device I have used so I can have the same experience.
[Thunderbolt General] planetfoo:
The ability to do what I want with the hw I paid for is a good reason. Removing all of the Verizon bloatware is another good reason. Having the ability to customize is another as well.

If I can make my phone run better, why wouldn't I?

I'm one of those people who says crazy things like ,"my phone loses no noticable stability at 1.4 ghz. Why would I be content at 1 ghz?"

I also think with the mindframe of "If it runs at 1.4 this easily, if I spend a little time I should be able to push 2.4 out of it."

That crazy off the wall thinking is why people started to use a telephone for email, then internet and wow even entertainment.

Hi all,

Recently I dropped my Vega and broke the glass and digitizer.

Curry's have told me that it wouldn't be economical to repair & charged me £20 for the pleasure.

I have also gotten various different quotes from other quite frankly dubious companies online all above £180.

So I have come to the decision that it would be a lot more risk free to just buy another one.

I'd like to know if anyone knows a good place to sell my broken Vega for parts? Everything else is tested and working fine on it. I would stick it on eBay but I'm not really sure what a fair price would be.

If anyone could offer advice I would greatly appreciate it if I can reclaim any of my money back.

Thanks very much
