[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matridom:
The reason for this is that USB mass storage can only have 1 device access in at any time. if your computer is accessing it, android cannot This means that if you have apps installed to the SD card, they are no longer accessible to Android and as such, are considered not installed, disconnecting USB mass storage and letting the phone re-initialize the partition will "re-install" the program.

The other issue with the separate partitions is that you have limited space for "internal storage", on the nexus, that's around 1 gig, on other phones, it can be as low as 100 MB. Normally, this space cannot be changed, so you have to anticipate the needs of the customers when building the phone.

To correct this problem, ICS uses Media Transfer Protocol, for an explanation on why, look here. Interestingly enough the iPhone also uses a similar method for transferring files, only they have a custom protocol through iTunes rather then the more generic MTP.

Hey all I need help. Can't seem to send texts. I can receive them but not send em. Anyone have the apn settings for at&t? I was flashing different modems and I think I screwed it up some how.
[Captivate General] b-eock:
APN's don't have anything to do with regular text messages, only internet and MMS
[Captivate General] GoombaVinnie:
OK well then what do I do? Does anyone have the original modem from aokp b29? I used the modems from the stickie modem thread and I honestly don't trust those zip files now.
[Captivate General] b-eock:
Probably because you used the wrong one, don't blame others work because you don't know how to use it... They have all worked perfectly for me and many others...

Just flash an I9000 Modem that is for CM7/CM9/MIUI
[Captivate General] GoombaVinnie:
Dude wasn't blaming someone else, get off the high horse. I'm asking for help. Obviously one of the modems I flashed was not for ics. I've used that thread for all my modems from 2.2 to 2.3 so i know its something I did. I've tried flashing other modems from there no success. I've wiped data and cache still nothing. I have no smsc number in the testing menu. So if your not willing to help just move on
[Captivate General] TRusselo:
just reflash AOKP without factory reset. back to normal.

or captivate > Development section > Modem Sticky > Captiave Modem website > ICS/CM9 MODEMS
[Captivate General] GoombaVinnie:
Thanx, I figured it was gonna be that or one click back to jf6 and start over
[Captivate General] GoombaVinnie:
I must have really screwed it good. Flashing aokp won't even change the base and to what's in the rom. I'm just gonna have to bite the bullet and one back to jf6. Man I hate it when I do stupid things like this lol.
[Captivate General] TRusselo:
why would you go back to jf6? kk4 would be fine but that isnt needed either.

flash an ICS modem from where i told you. or CWM > wipe system > wipe data > install rom fresh. done.
[Captivate General] internalflame:
Could be your SMSC. Had this happen when I accidentally updated it as a 0.

Get into phone info by *#*#4636#*#* and hit refresh to see what your SMSC is. Google what your provider's code is supposed to be and make sure it matches.
[Captivate General] GoombaVinnie:
I was the smsc number. It got changed to zero for some reason. Than for both of your help I really appreciate it.
[Captivate General] They Drew First Blood:
This site has modem downloads as well, and a link to a Google map to narrow down which may work better in your area.

(edit)

The modem list is in no particular order, so you may have to scroll a bit to find what you're looking for.

edit: Well I can not post links yet, not up to 10 posts... but if you search the forum for soggycashew you may find the link I was trying to post.

Hi all,

what's it like when you stick one of those cards in your Android full of music? I have an iPod Classic 160GB and now I'd like a bigger screen and touch for easier use. But I've heard terrible things about these SD cards in Android phones. I don't care about screenshots with big numbers,

-what is it like in practical use?

-Does music transfer quickly?

-When you de-tach your phone does it freeze while the SD loads? (some crappy mp3 players do).

-What happens when you load your music player, does it freeze, does it freeze the first time after music transfer or ever time, how long does it freeze?

-Do you have to format your SD card because of normal phone use? How often?

-How do you find out how fast your phone can read the SD?

That's all I care about. I have a feeling the only way I'll find out is by spending a lot of money, getting angry and buying another iPod. The Touch is waaaaay too expensive in my view, I'm not paying for Apple's champaign parties with my money. 32-64GB is expensive, it's the 8GB people who get cheap devices not us audio lovers.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
I personally have Live with Walkman, which about half year ago, was the same price as iPod Touch 4g 8GB.

Practical use...I am not sure what you mean about it. Android phones are regular smartphones: music player, internet, apps, calling, SMS etc.

Music transfer speed has never been problem for someone. If your computer has USB 2.0(quite likely), then it is the best you can.

On some phones, rechecking the music folders might take a bit of time to make sure player has all the music there is. Usually doesn't take more than 1-2 minutes, mostly less than that.

Freezing? Depends on phone, but Android phones are nowadays quite fast already, there is no freezing at all.

Seriously, who gives a **** about 1-1,5 sec freezing in the menu? Music doesn't stop anyway. :D

I have never formatted my SDcard and will never do it. It is not needed, the regular format(which should be FAT32, Android doesn't support others) works just great, you don't need anything else.

SD card speed depends on SD card, Class 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10. Class 10 have highest speed, Class 2 slowest.

I have Class 4 SanDisk 16GB, works like a charm, higher speed is only needed if you move large files on your SDcard often. I have never experienced problems with SDcard speed.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] phoneyericsson:
By practical use, I mean good daily and constant use of a decent audio player. I have the feeling that many Android phones aim to play music and almost nothing else. I don't use spotify or google music or any of that. I use podcasts big time, I have over 10GB of podcasts alone. I see Sony's version of iTunes, Media Go is actually quite decent now. But practical as a full replacement for an iPod.

Music transfer...my Xperia Mini is OK, but have you seen an iPod? It's 2 songs per second...:eek:I've 25GB of music, it has to be fast. Also, I did try other brands of audio players and some of them spend 5 minutes (no joke):mad::mad::mad: loading after music transfer, it was horrible. I actually smashed on it made me so angry, and I NEVER do that. I danced on the screen when I got another iPod. It did it every time even if I moved just 1 song.

By freezing, I mean when you enter the music menu. I just don't want my phone freezing every time it loads 25GB of music and 10GB of podcasts.:confused:

I've done a fair bit of research on the class type, XDA has some good threads also. I'm still unconvinced though. People keep posting crap about fast read/write speeds. Who cares, I'm interested in actualy use nothing else.

I highly recommend formatting your SD. Copy all the contents to a folder on your laptop/pc, format then copy back. I'm not joking, if you use different roms you will be SHOCKED at the improvement it makes. I don't mean a tiny improvment, I mean major. Your SD moves much faster, loading pics in your phone becomes instant again.

Your 16GB card works ok? Is that your full music collection?

Anyway, I just did some testing of favourite songs on my phone vs my iPod and bass is definitely better on iPod. I really want to give Android a shot though.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
I have been using stock music player all the time(Walkman on stock ROM, stock player on current, MIUI, ROM). Android phones do have music feature, even though most manufacturers are trying to improve other sides.

Live with Walkman is built for music lovers, with its dual speakers(bass is low, but for regular listening is quality fine), special Walkman(which actually misses own equalizer, but can be downloaded from Market).

iPod's and other Apple products use own cabling system, which probably allows high speed transfer. Androids have microUSB port, which might limit it.

USB 2.0 supports maximal of 60 MB/s, Apple probably takes so much possible from it, as one their port is for everything.

For 35GB of music material, it might take some time first to check all the folders for music files and load metadata to the player and create cache(that is done only after every music collection change).

If music folders are the same, same cache is used and loading player will be fast.

2011 Xperia's have 1 GHz processor, shouldn't take long time for loading anyway.

First time, placing all your music there might take a while, but later on, you don't add 10GB of stuff to SDcard at once, so that high speed might not be needed.

I might give it a try, when I have time, even though I have no problems with speed at the moment.

Besides, what would formatting give me? The file system has to stay FAT32 anyway, because Android doesn't support another ones.

Yes, 16GB works fine(14,8GB available due to difference in manufacturing and file systems, 1000-1024 difference). And no, music is about 2-3 GB from it, I don't keep all the music on my phone, only the music I like at some point, old songs are deleted.

I also got few videos/films(Family Guy :D) to look, when I am bored sometimes or can't sleep in evening. Screen is small, but it isn't that bad for films.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Dv2y:
I have an Mini Pro with a 32GB Sandisk Class 4 SD.

It works fine, no freezes at all. The only problem is the sound of it is not THAT good, i have never listened to an Ipod, but my phone cant handle much bass without distortion. I'm currently using PowerAMP player, its fantastic and you can configure it to make your music far better than the stock player and the "limiter" option fix the distortion problem.

I think its a good idea to use an external DAC (Fiio E17 example) if you like to listen to a perfect music with your perfect headphone.

EDIT: I have currently 8GB of music on my SD and PowerAMP loads it very fast.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] urra901109:
Is it even possible to use DAC on android phone? Is there a driver for it?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] phoneyericsson:
I don't know about that driver ^^

I've ordered a 32GB on ebay (half the price of in the shops and unused, good seller) and am waiting for it to arrive in the next few days. I've practiced sending about 20 favourite songs to my 2GB card using Media Go. The transfer is way slower than iTunes, but like the guy at the top ^^ said, perhaps after the cache is created on the phone it will all move faster...the load time after that was about 15 seconds...not bad at all. My iPod classic takes about 10 seconds but I'm happy so far.

I can't wait to test the new SD. I'll report back on how it goes. Media Go has finally come of age I think, it's very capable now. I'm testing different music apps on my phone and so far I like DoubleTwist the most - for easy of use though Poweramp has probably the best audio I've heard. I also recommend trying the megabass.zip that's available on here.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] phoneyericsson:
Thanks for the links.

After extensive effort, don't bother trying to replace an iPod with an Android anything yet! What a joke. If you like iPods keep them...I've tried so many devices over the last 6 years and really they (for me) still got nothing on iPods...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] SarthakSL:
HElp?

I use my XM only for listening to music or texting...so all the roms i tried either are for performance or some particular use....

CAn u suggest me a good rom only for Music?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] cigognes:
I've got a mini pro with a 64gb sdxc card, poweramp as music player. Most points have been addressed before.

However you have to keep one point in mind. The phone plays decent enough audio on the go, with background noise and all other factors that come into play. Yet the ipod still has much better audio quality (use it with proper headphones and enough impedance and the difference is quite obvious) and I fear that's hardware related, no decent audio hardware in the phone. I have an external dac, but let's be honest why would i carry that around, it's as big/inconvenient as carrying an extra ipod around, given the choice I'll take my ipod with me.

For the price the phone has cost me, I'm pleased with it, small enough so don't have to carry an ipod around if I don't want to. The audio quality could however be better, and there's imho no software solution possible.

By the way; file transfer speed might be annoying, but how often are you going to be transferring several gigs of music? You put most of your collection on there once, or might change a few times. No point transferring flac or anything around that size to the phone.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] daaabs:
Kinda off topic, but what sort of performance are you getting with the 64GB card? Are there any problems with compatibility? Would you mind running some speed tests on the card and posting the results?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] serialkillazzs:
Yeah what make of card have you got and were from. Looking 64gb for utorrent
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] cigognes:
Sorry for the late reply, didn't really see the first question and haven't had much time lately. I've got a Sandisk card of amazon.de. I'm not allowed to post links unfortunately. Anyway back when I bought it, it had a lot more good reviews. It's been replaced by another product in the mean time.

Does it still work yes, without fault almost. The only downside is that every time I add files via USB (pc), it causes a reboot verifying card integrity (only one reboot, so that's something I can live with). That might be because of the way the card is formatted, operating system I've used, still need to check into that.

I'm currently running a test for the read/write speeds, will post that later on.

---------- Post added at 02:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:40 PM ----------

Ok so I've got some test results. Didn't test the entire card, just let the tests run for 10 minutes.

Read average 12.7 MegaBytes/S

Write average 8.6 MegaBytes/S

So not quite the class 10 it's labelled to be, pretty much knew that it was just a bit too slow. Did record video on it though without any hiccups.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] willibertus:
I have a mini pro, paired with a 16gb kingston class 4 sd card and a Brainwavz M1 headphones, with this mix y just ditched my ipod touch of 16gb.

It's not my entire library but it's enough for my needs, I strongly recommend to buy the Poweramp music play app, it's a heavy improvement from stock music players. BTW this phones have fm radio a impossible feature in any apple device.

I would recommend the change, but it's up to you, if you want to move large data files or a large amount of data I strongly recommend to buy a micro sd to standard sd adapter and a class 10 card.

cheers

2x1.5ft

2x3ft

2x6ft

1x10ft

[LG Nitro HD] dbjungle:
It's got a real CM9 nightly. I think that should be stated. It's got AOKP development. Things are shaping up. When you add that with the hardware specs, I would say this phone has not been overlooked.
[LG Nitro HD] Namuna:
Having ICS (via CM9) on this phone, says a LOT.

Even though our specific Nitro HD dev forums are sparce (compared to other, more popular phones), a couple of things folks should keep in mind...

We've got root and unlocked bootloader, which means we can be looking at a lot of the goodies in the Android general areas (http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=564), and all the great apps that only work with rooted phones (like Titanium Backup) work on ours too.

Our Nitro is officially supported in CWM...Which makes getting into recovery a breeze, which means much easier hacking/tweaking system components.

Basically, just because we don't see a lot of specific dev going on for our Nitro in our forums, doesn't mean a bit of looking around couldn't procure some goodies that could work for our phone...Like perhaps some themes from the HTC Rezound (same rez as our Nitro, http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1393).
[LG Nitro HD] nexwave-mat:
The phone has solid hardware and I use the CM9 build as my daily ROM it really stable for a nightly status.

The development on this phone is far from dead and just getting started IMO.

The only issue is that this phone was not as "advertised" as the other popular phones so it took a little longer to get noticed. It had a pretty quiet launch.
