[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dtr145r:
i never really did any benches before on either stock or rooted.

i used a few different bench apps, all have better results with root EXCEPT for SDcard read. as you can see in the bench 'write' falls around 20-21 on both stock, and rooted.

read was averaging 21-22 on stock and only 6-10 on rooted.

i believe that could cause it to run slower.

what good are better bench results if the system has to wait on reading the disk...
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrulri:
As I asked before, could you please bench the non-rw vs. the +rw root version? Thank you.

I guess I know what's the problem and unfortunately there won't be a quick fix :(

I have an old Maxtor Shared Storage II network drive. All PC access via "map network drive" in file explorer. No issues with WinXP, Win7, and Ubuntu.

Been trying to get my Acer A500 connected. Unable. Used ES File explorer, File Manager HD, Add SMB, and lots more. I can't get my acer to see the NAS.

A500 with HC3.2, not rooted.

Most apps say failed to login. Tried anonymous not working. I created an account on the maxtor. Still login failures.

Any thoughts ? Apps that will work ? :confused:
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
Just a guess but try taking browser to its IP address see if it prompt for log on.

Or maybe a FTP program like cute FTP.or something similar.you could share the drive thru your desktop.

Just a shot in the dark.
[Acer Iconia A500] da_maxx:
I can use the browser to access the admin page which 192.168.0.100. This uses port 80. I tried using the browser to access the public folder. Doesn't work.

When using a port scanner for 0.100, I see port 445 available. It won't allow me to login via tablet. All windows machines work fine.
[Acer Iconia A500] fermunky:
So ES File Explorer is finding the drive, just failing login?

Also, are you sure it is directly finding the drive on the network by itself, or is it picking it up as a shared drive off of your PC or other computers that have it mapped?
[Acer Iconia A500] jeromekobriger:
I had a very similar issue with a networked NAS, seemed like no program would see it. The only one I ever got to work is File Expert (free in the market)
[Acer Iconia A500] JdgM3NT4L:
Thanks. Just tried it and it works great for me.
[Acer Iconia A500] da_maxx:
I loaded and tried File Expert. Same results. No connections.

Ran, Overlook Fing app, scanned for services. I see port 80, 139, 445, 631, 3689, and 8080.

I can login via browser and manage the Maxtor NAS. Again the address is 192.168.0.100. I named it "maxtor_nas". I believe port 445 is SMB connection. No matter what program\app I use to connect, it fails. Says can't load directory or invalid login\password. I tried the admin and anonymous login, no success.

I'm using a Dlink DIR-655 router. I still can't see the default "public" directory on this Maxtor Shared Storage II, NAS. I've tried entering IP address, Device name, etc. I can't connect.

THanks for the help !!
[Acer Iconia A500] da_maxx:
an update. I ran Ubuntu on one machine. I can mount the network drive. So the router and network setup, maxtor settings appear OK. Something with android connection.
[Acer Iconia A500] fox.not.fire:
I did the same.. ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] da_maxx:
Tried File Expert on both Acer A500 and Nextbook Next8p. Still no connection. I've moved the NAS to the DMZ, no connection. I've added a new account name and password, no connection.

I can "map" network drives from other computers on my network. Both Win and Ubuntu. Android devices can not make the SMB, Port 445, connection.

My Maxtor Shared Storage II has the latest 3.1.28 firmware.

Any Ideas ??

Using an HTC G2 (Desire z) I'm able to connect to SMB share on Ubuntu machine just fine with File Expert. Managing files (edit/delete/copy works great but can't stream video from Samba. Of course WI-FI needs to be on.
[Acer Iconia A500] da_maxx:
update. Tried my kids droidx and droidx2. Both fail to connect with file expert. Tried notebooks from friends. Windows and Linux "map network drive" work fine. There's something wrong with android connecting to port 445.
[Acer Iconia A500] tkolev:
Most likely you need to change the security settings for the SMB share (I don't know if your nas supports such settings). I have the same issues with a win7 share that I could access with fileexpert until a certain update on the app. Now I can get it working only with file manager hd.
[Acer Iconia A500] BarryChopper:

Samba is poorly configured in the OEM firmware for Maxtor Shared Storage II NAS drives, which prevents Android from connecting.

To allow Android to connect, the Samba configuration file (smb.conf) must be modified so that the line "security =" becomes "security = share". Unfortunately this file is overwritten each time the drive is rebooted or setting are modified through web admin.

Here's my workaround:

Install custom firmware

- Can't post links, thanks XDA. Google: "Mod with SSH, Telnet, FTP and Optware (2008-04-24)"

Login to the drive with root permission

- Use putty.exe to SSH to the drive IP address - U:root P:root

Create a correctly configured Samba configuration file

- Change to the configuration file directory: cd /usr/lib

- Make a copy of smb.conf: cp smb.conf smb.conf.OK

- Modify smb.conf.OK: vi smb.conf.OK

- Change the line "security =" to "security = share"

- Save the file: <esc>:x

Copy our new configuration file over the default on each reboot

- Change to the init.d directory: cd /etc/init.d

- Modify rcS: vi rcS

- Add the following line above the final line "exit 0": cp /usr/lib/smb.conf.OK /usr/lib/smb.conf

- Save the file: <esc>:x

Reboot and enjoy!

This works for me, as your network and drive may be configured differently, your mileage may vary.

This may also apply to a similar problem with the Maxtor Central Axis NAS drives.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wolf howl:
We rooted my wife's Eris several weeks back with the above mentioned ROM and it works great around here where we have good Verizon coverage. The issue is that when we travel to areas that don't have great native Verizon coverage, she loses her 3G altogether now and can't do anything using data. Text and calls still work, just not data. It worked prior to rooting it in these same areas.

Any suggestions or settings to check? Thanks in advance!

My first thought is that you have the wrong version of GSB, 3.9 was skipped.

There are known issues with Gingerbread dropping 3G. I recommend searching the boards.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crimson12:
I'm on 3.9 right now

OP have you tried the airplane mode switching on and off trick? And is this fixed by turning the phone off then back on?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wolf howl:
Yes, 3.9 is what it says in the Mod version on the phone, so unless that was screwed up it is version 3.9 as far as I can tell.

I have not tried the airplane mode trick as I read about it last night and we are headed up there today for a reunion so I can give it a try. I've not been with my wife the last few times she's been in the area to where this happens so not sure what all she has done to try and fix it. Pretty sure she did restart the phone though with no luck but we'll see.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] submarinePride:
Please refer to this post:

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crimson12:
Am I missing something?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] submarinePride:
Obviously not :D but where did you download the rom from? Maybe there was an unadvertised 3.9 posted or maybe workshed forgot to change the version number when he updated it to 4.0.

Forgot to update this thread...so we were in the area where 3G coverage drops for the wife on Sunday. I took a look at her phone and it mentioned something about International service or some such so I went into her Wireless/Networks under Settings and there was a check box for "International Roaming" so I checked it and it worked just fine!

She just never clicked it because, well, North Carolina isn't so much International! haha

[HTC EVO 3D] aalopez10:
Ok here's the deal brought a new EVO 3d n notice that it had the last sprint update hboot 1.5, so the only method available to root was with HTC method, so I follow the root on HTC dev.com and successfully rooted my phone. After root got recovery and flash superuser. Eveything went smooth. So afterwards I booted my phone to recovery to keep a full stock ROM n did a backup of it before flashing new Roms.

Here's the problem when I'm full stock rooted ROM my 3g works normal.

But right after I follow directions ons the threads of how to flash a ROM and custom kernel on sprint lastest update. Like virus lastest ROM I follow he's intructions on how to on hboot 1.5 and flash the ROM and everything goes well until the boots the ROM data starts having 1x when I'm not using it but than after i turn the phone on n used it the 1x goes to 3g and just keeps doing that. I can't keep the 3g to stay I already contact sprint n did a data reset and nothing work.

3g stays only on stock ROM but not on custom ROM cuz I get the 1x and 3g back and forth. So sprint told me to take to sprint store to check it out but I wanna see if anyone had a similar problem on rooting this lastest update phones?????

I just want 3g to stick!

Thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] meatgel:
The stock ROM never shows 1x; it's not built to show 1x. Even when you are in 1x, it will show 3g. The custom ROMs are built to show 1x and 3g when it changes. So what you are seeing in a custom ROM is what is truly happening, and what you see in the stock ROM is 3g all of the time -- even when you are in 1x.

Hope my explanation helps and isn't confusing.
[HTC EVO 3D] YoMaMa7467:
Are you in a good service area compared to custom Roms the stock ROM does NOT show when the phone is on 1X so that may be it.
[HTC EVO 3D] aalopez10:
Yea a perfect location get full bars...its like when the phone goes to sleep it goes to 1x automatically and when I turn the screen it still on 1x until I open an application with data required or the browser the 1x goes and changes to 3g and the data works but than when I'm done or not touching the phone the 3g goes back to 1x and it just stays that way from now on

Might use shoot me to show a video of how it acts...
[HTC EVO 3D] YoMaMa7467:
THATS VERY INTERESTING.... can you check in settings under power then see if power efficiency is enabled. That may be it or thats all i can think of atm.

I mean what is a step above the EVO 4G (besides the E3D)? Is there something better than the E4G?

Was thinking about this today....definitely need something that can be freaked like the Evo 4G.....

I'm not diggin' the E3D because of the lower MP camera & I hear the 3D really isn't all that...plus I've seen some "3D" footage shot with the E3D and it looked like regular old camera-phone footage...definitely NOT impressed at all...seems more like a gimmick to me...

I hear the Nexus has "the full Android experience" whatever the hell that means...I'm guessing no carrier bloatware?

If your stuck on sprint I would get the 3d. It has more ram and a better processor. The development on the 3d is huge which means better roms. My roommate has a Samsung epic 4g and its a pain in the a**. Not much going on in terms of rom development and even getting a rom on it involves upgrading the radio everytime a new rom is leaked. You also have to flash pretty much everything through samsungs software instead of CWM (no amonRA on samsungs that I have seen). I would stick to HTC.

If you can switch carriers the HTC sensation looks nice.
