[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pat828:
Hi guys,

I really need your help on this one.

I have searched the forums and the web for a full day now and it seems that I am not alone with my problem here:

Last night I used Solid Explorer to create a subfolder with pictures within the Camera folder. I then tried to move that folder somewhere else on the "SD Card".

But when the process was finished, the subfolder was empty and all the pictures were gone. I could still see the thumbnails in the Camera folder, but when I tried to open one of them, they also all just disappeared!

Now I have read several threads here on xda about the problems of file recovery on a MTP device... Seems like normal file recovery programs will not be of any help in this case.

However I was hoping, that by now someone came up with a solution to this problem, since it affects all users of the GNex.

Some more infos on my side:

The phone runs 4.0.4, is not rooted and not unlocked - everything is stock.

Data back up via Google Plus and Dropbox was not possible, since I am on holidays in Asia with no data plan or WiFi available.

I have switched the phone to flight mode and (hopefully) not written any new data on the storage.

So my questions would be the following:

1) Has anybody yet found a way to asign a physical drive letter to the GNex, making it possible to be recognized by regular file recovery software?

Or is anybody currrently looking into that matter, trying to find a solution?

2) In case that I will not be able to recover the pictures myself through some pc software off the net, will I be able to let some professional have my files restored for me? If I understand correctly, all it takes is a software, that is able to recognize a ext3 or ext4 storage system???

I would really appreciate any help on this matter, because these pictures mean a lot to me and I really hope that I will be able to get them back somehow.

Thanks in advance,

Patrick.

I had to format my sd card losing 13GB of information yesterday. This was also due to stupid mtp. Sorry i doubt you can recover.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pat828:
Sorry to hear that! Until now I could never understand the objections many people seemed to have concerning MTP, as it handled pretty much the same as an USB device when using a Windows PC. But now that I gained some insight in the matter, it's probably the ONE thing I don't like about this phone.

It just sucks to find that out the hard way...

But maybe somebody else still has an idea and can point me in the right direction?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rlmaers:
I've had the same problem, and I'm blaming MTP as well. I finally gave up, formatted my drive and replaced MTP with cloud services or transferring files via adb.

[HTC Rezound] seattlecard:
I thought for sure tonight after I had gone to S-OFF and flashed the newest ICS leak, then installed some ROM's - that I had borked my phone. No matter what I tried (RUU back to GB, etc), I could *not* get service on my phone. No data, No Service.

Then I read about how I had to have the back cover on for a signal.

Put it back on. Everything worked again.

What a noob move...
[HTC Rezound] yojoe600:
yep it always seems to happen
[HTC Rezound] snowman122:
i dont get it my phone still has service without the back on its not great and drops down to one bar but i still have service and tested for 5 hours and i consistently had signal the whole time!

[HTC Rezound] sknight13602:
No but the receivers are. the off yellow thing inside the back of your phone case. Those connect to the WiFi, Bluetooth, and cell antennas.
[HTC Rezound] PhantasmRezound:
Well since it was mentioned... I assume the two gold prongs close to each other at the bottom are the 3G CDMA antenna since they match up with the Dinc design. Then the solid, shiny one nearest to that is the 4G LTE antenna. And the dull strips across the top are the "secret" GSM antennas.

Can anybody verify these assumptions?
[Atrix 4G General] hatefuel19:
This is how I flashed a rom to my sdcard for dual booting

This method is for roms that use normal updater-script

If you want to do this with a rom that uses the aroma installer such as Nottachtrix go here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=25901115#post25901115

I was only able to achieve this after following sendust7 linux guide for dual boot and adapting to windows so all credit goes to him.

His method IMHO is better but if you are hell bent on doing this with windows then here it is

Again these are the steps I took. If you try this and break something I'm not responsible.

Pre-requisites

Notepad++

Minitool partition wizard

Android SDK (google adb for dummies to get everything you need)

Cygwin (if you dont have it start install now and it might be done when its time to use it)

The rom zip you want on your sdcard

Moto-fastboot (search this forum)

Knowledge of ADB and fastboot

Fully Charged Battery

winrar

boot.img from rom currently flashed to phone (pull this from rom.zip that you currently have flashed to phone

Backup everything from internal and external sdcard

NANDROID NOW!!!!!!

Insert sdcard into computer and open minitool partition wizard.

Create four partitions and format them with the same filesystem that the rom uses (ext3 or ext4) name them accordingly (system data and cache) and make primary.

These are the partition sizes I went with and only because i didnt feel like adjusting the slider anymore. But These values did ensure they were big enough to hold the phone partitions. The first partition is whats left over after resizing other partitions and will be formatted to fat32

first partition is whats left over and formatted as fat32

system=353 MB

Ebay instructed me to ship (tracking number) back the item .Shipping cost was $18 ( The tracking number was proof that I shipped it back). I decided not to ship it back and considered the $16 as a bad buy.

bottomline, I threw away $16.. $16 could easily buy a 12 pack

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ReapersDeath:
Well I keep having issues with random apps blno matter what ROM. I get an insuficient (sorry bad at spelling) storage error every time i download specific apps. Sometimes it happens to random installed apps and they just get insta fc until I uninstall and then I can't reinstall. I've heard people saying my a2sd cache might be full but I rarely use app to sd.. is there any other caches I can delete that may fix this? And yes I've wiped everything before each flash besides sd card
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrFixit007:
The insufficient storage error typically occurs when you have installed a lot of apps and you are out of app sotrage space on your phone. when you are out of space and you try to install a new app it will give you that error.

The instant FC is typically a problem between the app and the rom. If you get random instant FCs you might try using a different rom.

I reccomend using a wipe script like VR Superwipe or SNS Super Wipe before flashing a rom. they are in zip files and you flash them the same way you flash a rom to clear out your phone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grayn0de:
Occasionally, the insufficiant storage error can be caused by the kernel. You could try flashing a different kernel to see if the issue persists.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ReapersDeath:
I wouldn't of posted if i didn't already know that.. I have 80% of app space left.

[General Questions and Answers] shashpant:
Well I am planning to get an android phone. Since I am a student I don't really need off the shelve and out of box multicore processor or some gimmicky stuff that adds to the price, what I am looking for is -

10. Q: Any other requirements?

A: Don't require dual sim/require dual sim/etc.

11. Q: If you have already considered a phone then please mention the model.

A: Sony Xperial Sola, Xperia Neo V .

Good looking with ample processing power.

Modding support.

More than fast web browsing.

Music and videos

Sports Tracker heavy usage

NOte - The most important thing that I want is MIUI / CM Mod support, since Xperia Sola is yet to be released by 22nd May in India, should I get the device ? or vouch for some older modle ? How well can I expect developer support specially MIUI rom ? I know its a bit to early to expect developer support but whats the developer take on SOLA ?

Those are the only primary need that I have, if the phone can render pdf that will be beneficial but i don't like sluggish rendering. I am buying the phone for learning purpose (droid ecosystem) and development of apps.

I dont have ample money in my hand nor I want a high end phone. My current phone Motorola WX260 (999 INR bucks) serves me good. have no real contrainst for screen size but it shouldn't be too big to carry.

Budget is max $400 that I can arrange. Will be good if I get some great deal online with some coupons.

Other than that I don't know what to expect. Not particularly looking for good cam and all, just more than decent music and web support with ample processing power.

That should suffice I guess , please do suggest me a decent phone.

Regards
[General Questions and Answers] galaxyfreak:
Now you have:

Sony Xperia Neo V

Sony Xperia ray

Motorola Motoluxe

But I think you should wait for Sola It's new, good technical specs and looks amazing, like all new expensive models S, U, P.

If you can access download move, look in Android development and download the .tar for stock. Select pda in Odin and select the .tar and flash the stock T989 ROM.

I wanted to post a review for you guys. This is the best case I've ever used on the T989 or for any phone for that matter. Fits extremely well and has excellent fit and finish (I'm extremely picky) and most importantly the buttons on the side (lock button and volume rockers) are very clicky and have a great feel--unlike a lot of silicone cases where the buttons feel like mush and unresponsive. EXCELLENT BUY. The phone now feels solid and grippy all without getting stuck in your pocket. The back is smooth. Very good balance. Without it, the phone feels flimsy and slippy.
