[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Willie G Skull:
I have a Motorola Milestone X, system version 4.5.604, android version 2.3.5 (not rooted).

Under the Storage settings, under the SDCard title it says that I have total space = 1.83gb, available space = 632mb, and under the Application storage it says I have available space = 6.22gb.

When I put music files on the phone it reduces the SDCard available space, and I don't have much of that left!

I guess my question is whether or not there is a way to re-allocate some of the Application storage space to the SDCard space?

Someone told me it looks like the SDCard is an 8gb card and is partitioned into 2 parts, does that appear to be true from what I disclosed?

What would happen if I got a new, bigger SDCard (16gb?) to replace the original one?

Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank you!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DonnieDio:
I've had the official Samsung MHL adapter for a few weeks now. But just recently a problem has developed. Basically WiFi no longer works when the adapter is attached. For instance I can watch Netflix through the phone, then connect it to the TV and it'll stop. I've also tested surfing, disconnected from the TV I can surf fine. But as soon as I connect the adapter nothing loads. The WiFi symbol is still visible and connected, but it won't give me any data.

As I said this wasn't a problem until very recently. I could watch Netflix on my TV through the same phone (on three different TV's). Now on the same TV's it won't work. I haven't changed the phones firmware/OS or any settings AFAIR. Also everything being used is an official Samsung product (including the power adapter in case anyone's wondering).

EDIT: Tested mobile internet (3G) and it still works with the adapter connected. But when I tried to turn WiFi back on it won't connect until I disconnected the adapter.

EDIT2: I tried just plugging in the adapter with the plug in but without having it connected to the TV, WiFi then works normally. Its only when the HDMI cable is plugged into the TV that the problem occurs. I also went into WiFi settings on my phone and noticed it was stopping at "authentication". So I disabled security on my router temporarily and then WiFi connected with everything plugged in, but still no data, web pages still won't load. This is quite baffling.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rwallach:
It happened to me too. Actually, I bought two identical MHL adapters (same brand, same model...) from brando workshop. With one the condition occurred. With the other one, no wifi problem at all. At that time, I assumed it was a faulty MHL cable and didn't care. But considering that you suffered from the same symptoms, I believe that further investigation would be nice. At this moment, I have no clue on what could be causing this weird behavior. Hope more people can contribute on this...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fragger56:
I'm having the same issue, though with a brand new generic MHL adapter...

All my searching points to using nothing but samsung MHL adapters and power bricks being a possible solution.

Also Samsung's only suggestions are wifi dropout is normal and to use samsung adapters only...

IMO this is bull****, MHL is a STANDARD now, if I have a device that meets said standard it should function without issue.

How would you feel if you bought a samsung laptop and the USB ports only work right with samsung mice and keyboards even though they advertise standard USB ports...

Also I find it odd how I've managed to get pandora to stream music while I have my MHL cable connected some times, yet others data drops completely.

It seems more likely to drop out completely when my SGS II is decoding video+audio rather than just video.

Also, on the rare occasion where my data connection doesn't drop 100% it slows down massively, going from 2meg down to .2 meg down right after plugging in the MHL adapter.

I've tried multiple power sources too, from wallbricks, to desktop computers, to my macbook running on its battery to just an external USB battery pack. So I'm pretty sure it not a power noise issue...

Seems to me that Samsung needs to work on some software fixes...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Higher mA plugged into the MHL adapter may help. If you're only plugging it into usb (which I believe only outputs 500 mA), that could be your issue. I don't have any issues when using the AC adapter out of the box.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdfguerreiro:
Are you using a original or generic mhl cable?

Hope it works for at least some of you

It works for me too.

I have the SGS2 with the latest 4.0.3 rom.

I think this is the solution for everybody. No need for different chargers or MHL adapters. Just find the channel that works for you.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lurkapup:
same but different...

I'm having similar sort of symptoms, but I can't quite isolate if its the same problem or not. It definitely wasn't cured by changing wifi channel unfortunately :/

Here's the deal:

I use ps3 media server on my pc to stream to devices around the house. The SG2 (i9100) is rooted, but standard rom and mostly stock. I have been using bubbleupnp as a client for ps3MS and either Vplayer or Dice Player as the video player. ALthough lately its been a bit stuttery, overall it works and plays either saved mp4 videos, downloaded music vids and stuff just fine.

I have a generic MHL adapter and a hdmi to dvi cable that I use to connect to a spare PC monitor. I plugged some spare PC speakers in the headphone socket and was prepared for viewing heaven.

The monitor mirrors the phone screen fine. I can browse the PS3MS fine and select music and it will play fine. If I play a movie off the SD card (internal or external) again its all good... clearly I don't have the wifi stopping when the mhl is connected....until... drum roll and thunder....

I select a movie to play over the bubbleupnp, then it all turns to custard...kinda, basically the phone either stops and thinks for a while, then returns to the directory tree in bubbleupnp, or just sits there on the loading screen. Dice player definately takes longer to decide its not going to do anything than vplayer, but the results the same. Every now and then I get a network error, but not all the time. Sometimes when it returns to bubble, I find that the PS3MS can't be detected either, which usually takes either a few minutes wait or a restart of the phone...

Anyway, would really appreciate any thoughts and advice. While I've found plenty of threads about mhl problems, they seem to be all or nothing. This one seemed the closest to my problem. At the moment I'm a bit unsure what part of the setup is causing the problem; it definitely seems to be something to do with how it all fits together.

I've searched for problems specific to bubble and mhl, or bubble and ps3media server and all seem ok, or at least other people have them working...

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Budius:
thank you so much.

I just got a generic MHL from Ebay and got very upset when I wasn't able to stream from my network drives from neither my Galaxy Nexus or my wifes SGSII and changing from 8 to 4 solved it.

I just book the 8G nook tablet. I comes with 1.4.2 so from reading different threads I thought the it would be easier to root with 1.4.0 so I tried the 1.4.0 SDcard.

Ever since my tablet won't turn on. I even tried http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1470910 But no luck.

Any ideas or suggestions of what to try?

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] bdeweese:
Will the unit still boot from the 1.4.0 sd card? If so, you could try to reflash that again. Otherwise, I would keep trying to hold down both of those buttons (without the sd card in) for even longer. I had some instances where I thought mine was bricked (I have the 16 gb model), but eventually it came around. No real rhyme or reason to it.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] GabrialDestruir:
Well assuming by this thread that Adam's 1.4.0 Booted and trashed your system.... you'll either have to try taking it back in and playing real real stupid, like too stupid to program the vcr stupid, or you'll just have to wait until someone makes recovery for the 8GB nooks.

Let me explain, the Boot Loader files for 1.4.0 are designed to run for the 16GB devices only, it wasn't until 1.4.2 (which is available for both devices) that B&N modified the Boot Loader files to run on both 16GB and 8GB. Therefore when MLO tries to initiate memory it's trying to initiate for the 16GBs 1GB memory as opposed to the 512MB of the 8GB device, this will cause the device not to boot.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nba1341:
the boot sd methods for 16gb dont

even work for 8gb so how could you even mess anything up? you sure you removed sd card?

Sent from my sensation 4G
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
I'm guessing you had SD in there and connected usb cable, it attempted to boot form sd and locked up with nothing happening on screen. Just tried it on the 8gb that I have here (just opened box this minute)

If thats the case all you need do is remove sd card, remove USB cable and hold power for 15 seconds. Then wait a couple of secs and power it back on with the power button again. If like mine it will boot back up fine and isn't bricked.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Loglud:
Ok so there is a simple solution to this with the SD Root that is provided by Indirect. After you have a CWM SD Card by using winimaging (or what ever its called)take the MLO and the u-boot.bin from the 1.4.2 update package and place them inplace of the MLO and u-boot.bin on the SD Card. Once you have done that get the update.zip from B&N and flash that. That should fix most of your problems.

PS. The reson that he cannot get it to work is that the update.zip's uboot and MLO are form 1.4.0 which did not support the correct addressing.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
I was about to do that but was also going to compile a new kernel. You reckon it will work without the new kernel do you? I best have a go :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ajprog:
No nothing is in there, when you use the 1.4.0 SDcard it loads the update image and replaces the current image. I thought there would be check so it wouldn't put a bad image that wouldn't work in place but I guess there isn't any safety checks on the built in update firmware routine.

Are the new files posted yet with the correct addressing for the 8G? Or is there instructions on how to get them from clean 8G?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ajprog:
This is what I did to brick my NT. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1402190

Yes my NT is bricked, I have tried numerous times to shut it down (incase the screen was blacked instead of off) and turning it back on.

I have tried both the factory reset (power and home) and just the power button.

I as much as I can guess, when I did the firmware update above I messed up the internal booting. So I need to have the files for 8G so I can boot off of an SDcard.

I checked the B&N website if they had the 1.4.2 files (MLO and u-boot.bin) but they only have one updates file which I figure is for 16G.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] GabrialDestruir:
Yup you're screwed take it into B&N and hope they'll replace it.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
I jast passed a copy of all the internal partitions onto Adam so you should now be able to completely restore you're 8GB NT back to stock. Or if you now have adb access via SD card I posted the files on the forum so you could quite easily restore the system completely yourself.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ajprog:
Unfortunately I don't know of any full images for SDcards that have be released yet for 8GB. I only know of the 2uboot which "crashes" when it reads the internal image to create the menu.

I was able to root in a few hours thanks to the tutorials in XDA's dev section and dont particulary care for anything stock.

Based on the price differences of tablets with comparable hardware I think we should be quite happy with what we have. I bought my tab on boxing day at a price point that I did not expect to get ICS for.

Why the gripes folks?
[Acer Iconia A500] Skrilax_CZ:
Since we have nvflash, we can run even custom bootloader; so there is absolutely no security on the device. Right now the process is a bit complicated, so you have to wait for stock bootloader with working fastboot oem unlock :P

yes i have been watching the work in your Dev thread. and also on the on acer tablet users website. There seems to be a built in unlock method with icon type screen. So if wHhat i read over there is true Acer's Push of ICS To the a200 has a built in unlock mech.

So it looks like acer has been watching and listening.
[Acer Iconia A500] armada786:
I think moving forward a lot of manufacturers will be making the bootloaders unlockable. Mostly because it's a way to compete now. A lot of people say the "average user" doesn't care about or doesn't understand root, updates, ROMs, etc.

In reality there are probably just as many "power" users as "average". Guess where a lot of them go if someone makes their hardware more open. Locked down hardware becomes undesirable. That's sales they don't get. That's recommendations they might not get. That's a strike against them in reviews.

Money might be what's moving this but I'm certainly not complaining. If it turns out the developers and engineers behind these companies understand where we come from, that's even better.
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
I Agree it seems to be a tread to unlock them especially on NON Contract devices. I can kinda understand if say you get a 400.00 device for 125.00 attached to a 2 year contract how the Carrier has a right to restrict that device to there Services only.But after that two years when the device is on its way out.They should then Totally unlock the device..

with the above said NONE OF that should apply to the A500 . A501 if you bought it on a contract subsidized with a lower price to stay with the company They have right to lock .. THIS i believe is the force behind Manufactures locking devices. Either pressure from carriers . or locking them as a incentive to get carries to use there device.as well as they think it says them tech support dollars.The tech support dollars saved .Well i believe they loose as many Tech savy customers a dollars saved.

I so hope they just allow unlocks for all devices

Yet Asus has yet to release anything at all.

Indeed it does, but unless you have a secure boot key version 1 TF101, nvflash does not work ;). What the above poster is talking about is that most of the current TF101s on the market have secure boot key version 2 and up which means nvflash is about as useful as a screen door on a submarine.
