I tried searching the forum for this topic but got this message:

"searching has been disabled"

I have an old but little used Bluetooth GPS receiver and I cannot get the HTC Flyer to find it. Does the Flyer have issues with early bluetooth devices?

As a test the GPS was found by an Asus smartphone and Transformer.

The Flyer found my a phone and a bluetooth speaker.

So I know the GPS is in pairing mode because other devices find it.

I know the bluetooth scanning is working on the Flyer because it found and paired with other devices.

So I am left wondering if some older devices for some technical reason cannot connect to the Flyer?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shiroken84:
Hi guys

This is kind of weird. I rooted the phone using this method

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1501719

Then I installed an app to change the LCD density

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5iaXJkYXBpLmFuZHJvaWQuZHBpIl0.

I changed it from the default of 240 to 260, rebooted and now it just gets stuck at the Galaxy S2 splash screen. I booted into recovery and cleared the cache and did a factory reset, but I still have the problem.

Are there any other methods around this? I tried connecting the phone to my comp and doing the emergency firmware recovery in Kies but it doesnt detect the phone.

I guess now I have to download a ROM and flash it using Odin? Won't this increase the number of flashes counter? It's a contract phone, so I wan't to keep it stock since I may have to return it at the end of the contract (I want to keep it if possible).

Thanks

What is USB Mass Storage mode? :confused:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
You can still access and move all your files when connected to a Pc.

In MTP your S3 tells the computer "look, I'm a phone with 2 storage devices", allowing you to tether via USB and acces your data.

In Mass-Storage mode it tells your computer "look, I'm 2 Usb Sticks" which quito frankly is stupid.

However mass storage is faster and works out-of-the-box with programs and hardware (like car radios) that are not designed for this usage scenario.

(Note: on your computer you can easily create a virtual drive mapping to your phone's storage afaik, so no worries there)

The whole reason for not allowing mass storage is actually 2 issues:

- in MS the phone cannot use the sdcards while they're mounted on the computer, causing all sorts of issues with apps.

- MS requires the compute to recognize the filesystem. Pretty much the only filesystem all major Os can access is the 15-ish year old vfat which tends to corrupt easily, is slow and has several other major drawbacks.

In MTP the phone's system converts the filesystem to a standarized open protocol, allowing it to e.g. use the brand-new highly sophisticated ext4 linux filesystem instead of some legacy stuff Microsoft invented years ago.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dolmas:
Thanx for the info man!

I suppose this is why when i connect my S3 it appears as a "portable gt-i9300" device and not a simple usb flash drive :)

I have not a sd card yet...you told that the phone changes the cards file system...this means that if i insert my s3's memory card into a card reader it will not be readable from windows because it will not be fat-formated?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pizzaman79:
I just called the Dutch Samsung support desk. He said the issue does have their attention, but he couldn't promise anything.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michael_P:
Yes your card will still be recognised in Windows after formatting in phone.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
As Michael_P already said, the external SD uses vfat for compatibility, since Samsung can't expect you to keep the SD card in the phone at all times and never try to import/export data with it.

The internal one however does not.

On the S1 Samsung tried to hack the vfat filesystem with some of the much-needed features from NTFS/EXT3 such as journaling (and afaik Trim support, but I'm not sure). They called it RFS ('robust filesystem', not to be confused with the old linux filesystem 'ReiserFS'). While it solved one issue it caused massive lags.

Note that the device probably COULD fake Mass Storage mode but I guess we won't see it from Samsung.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pizzaman79:
You don't even need to format it. MicroSD cards are FAT32 (vFAT) by default. Just pop it in your phone and you can use it. Unmount it and pop it out and you can put it in your pc through a card reader.

Since there was some confusion and well intended but not so clear posts on the last few pages, I'll have a go at summarizing the facts. Note that I have an international 16gb S III with the latest firmware.

* The S III mounts as a media player or a photo camera both with two discs.

* This uses the MTP and the PTP protocol.

* This allows your phone and pc to access the drives simultaneously. So they don't brave to be dismounted from your phone before mounting on your PC and you can unplug the cable without unmounting from your PC.

* This allows you to transfer files, but it's slow and some people use programs that require Mass storage mode, e.g. to synchronize files.

* Not all computers recognize MTP / PTP. In windows Xp you need Media Player 10 installed.

* USB mass storage mode is unavailable. So no USB utilities in options.

* Enabling or disabling USB debugging or changing drivers in Windows doesn't help (and I've tried)

* The built in memory has a linux file system. And apps use it. You don't want to mount it.

* Samsung is working on an update that allows you to mount the MicroSD card as a USB drive (mass storage). But no promises.

* Note that in some scenarios the 50GB of Dropbox cloud storage can offer workarounds.

TEMPORARY SOLUTION

Ok, here's what I've found so far to bypass the limitations at least for computers.

(Sorry, no can-do for car audio, it would require emulation code in the low-level android functions)

Note: I also found the AltMounter, but it requires running 2 different programs on your computer (one to mount the phone as FTP server and one to mount the FTP as a real drive) so I'll skip it. But if you're interested, here you go:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1626713

First get the free "Samba Filesharing" app in the Play Store. (Requires root)

It seems to have some issues with the S3 (keeps locking up when configuring it, but once it's running it works just fine)

Configure a username/password in the settings and click on 'Enable'.

(Hint: if you use the same username and password as on your computer it won't ask you for login credentials!)

If you use an external SD-card or OTG USB-Stick, go to Settings->'Other fileshare settings'->'Second shared folder' to use it.

The app will show you something like "\\192.168.0.123" which is it's SMB-address. On your computer go to 'My computer' and click on 'Map network drive' in the top menu.

Choose any drive name you want (I'd recomment not using the drives like A and B as they are legacy-drives and could cause issues)

Enter the "\\YOUR.DEVICE.IP.ADDRESS\sdcard" path from the app in the 'Folder' section and click on 'Finish'. (Note: the \sdcard is necessary as Windows can't use the topmost folder as drive letter for some reason)

(Repeat with '\\YOUR.DEVICE.IP.ADDRESS\share2' as path if you use the external SD)

Note: you can use Samba filesharing when not connected to a WLAN through either the Wifi Tether (first start tethering, then Samba) or using the Connectify app on your computer (Reverse tethering).

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Minoza:
That does not answer my question... I mentioned typical stuff I'll be doing when transferring files and asked what's the difference compared to MS way? I'm not sure what advanced users may want to do, I only want to know what are the limitations compared to MS but in a layman's language... How it will affect my "Oh kewl I want these mp3s and movies over on my S3" routine? Occasionally I might want to transfer some ZIP/RAR file as well etc.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dan1909:
- The copy speeds are a lot slower. Not sure exactly what amount, but they take a long time!

- Merging folders that already have some common files in (I.e. updating your music library) takes a LOT longer as it has to copy every file again, rather than just check which are new.

- You can't assign it a drive letter in Windows, meaning that any automated syncing programs won't work. Not a problem for everyone, but I had my SGS set up to sync between my "My Music" folder on the PC, and the music folder on the phone whenever I plugged the phone in.

- You can't use the phone while files are being transferred. This one's extremely annoying. Previously I could have my phone docked on my desk, and have access to files through my PC whenever I wanted, and also use my phone still, now I can't.

I'm sure there's a few more as well, but those are the main ones that come to mind at the moment.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thomasba:
when you connect the S3 into your PC it will appear as a folder in your tree that you can add all the files to as normal. You will be able to see all of the system files as well so be careful not to delete anything by accident. If you have a micro SD card plugged into your device that will appear also and you will be able to transfer files to and from that at the same time.

I plugged mine in and just dragged and dropped all of my music over to the micro sd card.

your tree on the pc will show one branch which will be the phone nd in my case there will be 2 branches from that which is 1 for the internal memory and 1 for the micro sd card
