[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psiman24:
Found this on the net and it worked for me (now have full r/w on SD card)

Simple solution for external sdcard write access on Android 3.2...if you're rooted

I've found a simple solution for gaining write access to the external sdcard (/mnt/sdcard2) on Android 3.2. The sdcard is mounted r/w, but the owning group is media_rw which is linked to the WRITE_MEDIA_STORAGE permission. Unfortunately, this permission was not required for access to the external sdcard prior to 3.2 so most file management utilities do not request it when they run...meaning they only have read access to the card.

The simple solution, if you're rooted, is as follows:

1. Using a root-enabled file manager, navigate to /system/etc/permissions and make sure you have mounted the file system r/w.

2. Edit platform.xml and find the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission.

3. Add an additional group definition for this permission...<group gid="media_rw" />

4. Save the changes to the file.

5. Restart your tablet.

After this change, any apps that request the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission (which includes almost anything that access either of the sdcards) will gain group membership in both sdcard_rw AND media_rw, giving them r/w access to both sdcard filesystems.

It works for 4.0.5 too as that's what I'm running atm .

Or you could just try to update to the test firmware. It runs stable and fixes the issue without needing to root or modify permissions. (And It still fixes it if you are rooted too, like I am)

Okay, so I'm bored of the way my phone looks and feels, the apps I have and the fact I miss that excited feeling I used to get when I first bought it!

So, I've decided to reset my phone back to factory settings, and now I need your opinions.

I use my phone all day everyday; everything from Twitter to Angry Birds and texting to Skype calls.

I'd appreciate some of your opinions on the best kernels and roms for thongs such as performance, battery life, smoothness and just overall appeal.

If possible, it would be extremely helpful if you could post the links to the kernels and roms.

Thanks in advance.

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] stevennekens:
A few days ago I ran into a problem. My wifi wasn't connected when I turned on my tab 8.9. When I try to connect to my own network, and get into the settings page, the option 'ok' is greyed out. This means that I can only 'cancel', and in that way not connect to my own network anymore. The same thing happens when I try to connect to another network. My device is not rooted, running 3.2, and it is running the most recent firmware. Restarting the device didn't solve it. Any thoughts on this one?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Banderdragon:
Bump, same problem, or at least similar.

Android Version 3.2

Kernal Version 2.6.36.3 (se.infra@SEP-81 #1)

Build Number HTJ85B

Wireless works on some networks and not others. B G N do not matter, it is random. Still running stock ROM, not rooted. I have tried reseting OS, no luck.

What it does it it finds the network, tries to connect to the network, fails, remembers the network, and the cycle starts over.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] other_dsc:
Hi guys,

do you get the 'Obtaining IP address' message when connecting? mine does that constantly on some networks, it gets stuck in a loop and simply will not connect. I've found out that this is due to the tab remembering an IP address it used to use and trying to re-use it every time it connects. That is of course not always possible and so it tries - fails - tries etc.

The way to fix this apparently is to delete the dhcp_list file which holds the remembered IP addresses, only issue is that I cannot find that file anywhere. I'm running AOSP Galaxian Soup on mine with motley kernel, my home wifi works ok (probably because the same IP address is available all the time), work wifi doesn't want to work at all.

Maybe one of the devs sees this and can shed a bit more light on whether the solution is correct or not.

Regards,

dsc.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] stevennekens:
I was eventually able to solve this in a very easy way. for one reason or another the tab only wanted to log in when the password contained a capital, so I changed the WPA preshared key to something that contained a capital and a number and it was working again. very strange, because it had been working perfectly for about two months before this problem occurred. hope this helps.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] other_dsc:
Hi,

I managed to fix it by selecting static IP. I've seen this suggested a couple of times but when using the tablet in horizontal position I could see the static/dynami selection. Turns out you have to rotate the table to vertical position to see it.

Regards,

dsc.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Banderdragon:
Thanks for the discussion. my main problem is that i can't set a static at my work network. it will work at home, but i NEED it to work at both, otherwise it does me no good. I will keep banging my head against.

I will check back to see if smarter people come up with a solution, and if i come up with somthing i will post.

This is my problem exactly.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] other_dsc:
Hi,

not sure if you've seen this (I think the original solution comes from here anyway):

[tried posting an url but it was blocked, try googling:

'Tab cannot get IP address for WiFi problem + recs'

and scroll down to zakaria's post]

Some people suggest trying static, even if it fails it might delete the previously stored IP address that the Tab is trying to connect with and get a new one which should work. What I did was connected to the Wifi with my laptop, checked the IP/DNS details and after slight mods used it on the Tab. I did try setting the static to something roughly correct, connecting and reverting back to dynamic, but it wouldn't have it:(

Regards,

dsc.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] MrHome:
Have you checked with your work network whether or not it needs ca certificate?

or you could try to download wifi ace (advanced config editor) from the playstore, and set the settings from there

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Confy:
Does anyone know if it is possible to repair/replace the headphone jack on the Ideos X5?

Unfortunately I dropped it end on (no headphones in at the time) and now the channels now produce some extremely odd audio where everything sounds like it is underwater.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Schrauff:
You too? I'm also having this problem, so I opened it because I heard something moving inside, It was a coil, part of SMD components, for filtering the sound on headphones. I found one coil but the 2nd is missing :confused:

I soldered it back to board, and sound is little better, but there is still too much echo, low quality sound. But, the internal loudspeaker plays audio OK.

I'm planning to take it to service, but I think they will wan't to change the whole board, usually they don't do this kind of repairs and tuning the components. Since I opened it, the warranty is gone, so this could cost quite much and it will take at least 2 weeks to repair.

Does anybody know what is the inductivity of these 2 coils in the picture?

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Triflot:
As far as I know, there's no other way than through the stock ROM. Please try with a freshly formatted SD card that you know works otherwise, and make sure the downloaded/extracted file itself itsn't corrupt.

I am getting the same issue with my handset. Attempting to flash stock 2.3 ROM using CWM 4. I am attempting to update my CWM version, but it is not allowing me to replace the recovery.img.

Any help appreciated
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Triflot:
You can't flash stock ROMs through CWM. You have to put the "dload" folder from the update in the root of your memory card, then hold volume +, volume -, and the power button down together with the phone turned off. This will start the "official" update process. To save yourself the trouble of rooting your phone after upgrading to stock, flash the B518 update. You'll have to reflash a newer CWM after this; either 5.0.2.7 or 5.5.2.4.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sbasil:
Correct, Sir...and if I may add something. :)

Try updating the ROM from the internal SD card (remove the external card).....That is if the update still fails with the other instructions given before...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] halman:
There is always the chance to have a corrupted update.app.

Try to download again the file and use a fresh FAT32 formatted sd card.

Hope that helps
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Varatesh:
I got it to work.. sorta.

Reformat internal SD card to vanilla partitions -> install 2.2 -> 2.35 -> MIUI v4 elite SX.

2.35 failed to boot so I had to install a custom ROM, which did boot. Now it's running fine with latest MIUI rom.

[Nexus S General] styxx:
I've recently bought a used Nexus S i9020. I noticed that very rarely and randomly, the the capacitive home button light goes off on its own and in fact it is activated as if pressed by hand. I did a little research and found that capacitive buttons (search, back, home) activating on their own is a common problem with Nexus S. On google forums a Google employee even said this was a known software issue and will be fixed in an OTA soon. This post was from almost 1 year ago and we are already on 4.0.3 ICS so I thought I should post again and ask if anyone had the same experience and anyone could find a fix. Any help much appreciated.
[Nexus S General] Oogway13:
I had the search button problem and I fixed it by flashing latest radio for my i9020a. You could try flashing another radio for your device.
[Nexus S General] styxx:
can I keep the automatic OTAs coming while flashing another radio, or will it break them? sorry I am unsure about this. The reason I bought a nexus is to have the OTAs.
[Nexus S General] Oogway13:
You won't have any problems with OTAs since this only modifies the radio baseband. You will still run on stock (but to flash new radio you do have to root and install CWM).
[Nexus S General] BrianDigital:
And you won't have any problems with ota's since Google is very slow zing

[Nexus S General] Imppy:
What's the latest radio? Kf1 (new version)?
[Nexus S General] donnieace:
That is the radio I have on my I9020T and I'm having this problem. Will see if KB3 works (Have had better reception with KB3 but decided to go back to stock GB and so it was switched to KF1).
[Nexus S General] donnieace:
So I updated to 4.0.4 to see if this problem still occurred( I manually installed when I saw it on xda). Everything seemed fine until this morning when I plugged into the headphone jack. I had enough of this problem and decided to open my phone.

When I arrived home, I pulled out the replacement part that I ordered from eBay, and went to work. Everything seems to work really smooth. The new headphone jack is function as normal.

I just felt like I should share a potential solution to this annoying problem.

I'll later update the status of my new capacitive buttons, along with the headphone jack.

And yes, I was a bit nervous when doing this. I accidentally broke the small power button off while handling the board. It stuck back together by itself and works just fine. This will need a better fix. The thought of soldering comes to mind. But that's another job for later.
[Nexus S General] mikecharlielima:
hey donnieace, any updates? How's that new headphone jack working for you?

I noticed that when I unplug my headphones while the screen is on the home button acts like it has been pressed/held down. As a result the recent apps are displayed. The only way to fix this is to turn the screen off then on again. I was wondering if swapping out the headphone jack fixed this because I might give this a try.
[HTC Radar] awmu:
Voice recognition stopped working all of a sudden yesterday. Have been using it with no problem since December.

Essentially, when using voice to text message, the screen pops up telling me to say something... I speak and the "sound bars" in the lower right show that my voice is being recognized, but then the speech window just resets and tells me to speak again. Eventually, it just closes.

When using bing search via voice search I speak and it recognizes it and then says "We're sorry we cant access the network right now".

Any idea why this is happening all of a sudden? Has anybody else ran into this issue on their windows phone/radar?

3. threading all emails with no subcject (gmail), even from different people (please don't tell me to turn off conversations)

My device is htc mozart, full unlocked. WP7 is best os I ever had but these few things are really bad.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mikeeam:
1. It will show you the signal status whenever you lost it, so if you cant see, means you have signal. Wifi just shows when you are connecting or connection is lost. Battery same. It will pop up when you need to worry about.

2. Dont know why, but you cant have battery percentage.

3. Never had this problem. I use conversation mode and it doesnt thread when not from the same people.

No OS is perfect. A lot more is coming with WP8, so hope those little details get revamped.

1. No. Metro is all about cleaner and minimal looks. No clunky interface that eats away your screen. Tap and it drops down for you, hides again.

2. No. Unless you want to go to battery saver for an estimate.

3. Threading works by subjects, not by person at the moment like in Outlook. In Outlook you can thread by sender or subject. Currently it threads by subject. If I send out an email, I make sure my subjects are unique for each type of convo.

Over all, these are generic features. Suits some tastes, bothers some, doesn't even get noticed by most.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nicksti:
But for an os that wants us to get as much information as possible as efficiently as possible I think it is going overboard to not show signal bars and battery. But an arrow pointing to the right is important?

1. ok, I didn't know that icon will show up when I lost signal, great, one problem solved.

Wtf is wrong with you people?! These are just some minor things somewhat youre making a big deal out of.

From the lockscreen you will see your signal bar and battery life, when youre in the os, then just tap at top. Sure it's an extra step but it does hides away the ugliness.

If your phone is fully unlocked then why not get the battery status app floating around here in xda?!

Turn off conversations. Sheez, if your "friends" are too lazy to put on a subject then just turn off conversations, that way you'll get the newest email right on top!
