[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sam18q:
I am about to order a Macbook and read that some people have problems using WiFi Explorer Pro with Mac on OS Lion to transfer file between Mac and Tab. Anyone has success with this combination?

Will there be any compatability issues as I really need to transfer files between Mac and Tab.

Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GorillaPimp:
You could just setup a SMB share on Lion and use estrong's file explorer. That's what I do and have no issues. You could also use ftp or ssh.

I haven't used Wifi Explorer Pro so I don't know whether or not you'll have issues. You can also try Kies Air or a service like Dropbox or Box to transfer files.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gavdroid:
I have a real cry for help!

Somehow all my pictures disappeared from my Galaxy Nexus. My only possible explanation (since it could not have decided to delete them itself!) is that I must have been a complete idiot and last night when I thought I was deleting a video I had just taken I must deleted the camera directory itself. This is supported by the fact that there was no ‘camera’ directory when I looked this morning. I then took a new photo and the directory reappeared. I have plenty of experience with PC’s but I’m a newbie with smartphones. I figured if I don’t write any more files to the phone then most of the actual data should still be there so I hoped to do some kind of undelete.

I’ve done some research and it looks like the ‘feature’ of only connecting as an MTP device (rather than USB mass storage) is potentially a killer blow. Without an assigned drive letter it seems that none of the usual recovery programmes will recognise the phone.

In theory an alternative might be to take a complete image of the phone contents and somehow recover the data from here?

I am pretty desperate as I have five months of pictures/videos of my kids etc, and most of that data must still be on the phone – but how to get to it?

Finally – yes I am a complete plonker, I shouldn’t have made such a stupid mistake and I should have backed up the phone or the pictures. I have learned my lesson. But given that, is there anything I can do?

BTW - the phone came from 3 network (via a reseller) and I have not touched it with respect to unlocking/rooting etc. It is in the state I received it.

HELP please!

Thanks very much...........
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WoodroweBones:
I believe the MTP vs. USB Mass storage would be a driver thing. There are many different versions of drivers so its possible there are ones that will mount the phone with a drive letter. I can think of some other things to try (Boot into fastboot mode by turning phone off then powering on by holding power, volume up and volume down at the same time and holding till it vibrates). You could also try Disk Management under windows to see if you can assign a letter

In the future I highly recommend setting up a google account and using Google Photo/Instant Upload to keep a backup of your photos. You dont even have to sync anything else
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gavdroid:
Thanks for your suggestions, much appreciated.

I’ve now tried going into fastboot mode and connecting to PC but no joy – Windows recognises there is a device connected (usually ID’d as an OMAP4440) but can’t find a driver.

Disk Management also doesn’t show the Nexus as a drive and therefore won’t allow a Drive letter to be assigned.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WoodroweBones:
Try these (obviously no guarantees and I havent used any personally)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gavdroid:
Thanks again, I appreciate all suggestions. Yes I have come across these and unfortunately they don’t solve my issue. The last two are amongst those I’d seen reported as not working as they need a drive letter. I had installed both anyway but found that to be true :o(

The first requires root access which I don’t have. If I understand correctly, to root I’ll need to unlock the bootloader first, and unlocking will erase all the data anyway??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Unfortunately, you are out of luck. You cannot mount the storage on a GNex in USB Mass Storage mode, and I am pretty sure that none of the "undelete" programs that run in Android support ext4 (which is what our GNex internal storage is formatted).

If you are running 4.0.1 or 4.0.2, you can still get root access without losing your data (but not on 4.0.4), but I can't see how it will help you given what I mentioned above.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gavdroid:
I am on 4.04 so sounds like I can't get root access without overwriting, can I roll back to 4.01/2 without overwriting the data? (sounds unlikely but I have to ask - I upgraded from 4.02 without losing data....).

If not, is there a way to get a data image without rooting? That way at least I have the data preserved if at some future point it becomes possible to do an undelete on Ext4 data??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Unfortunately no.

I believe there are utilities to "do an undelete" on ext4. The problem is how to get access to the data image. I don't really know of any way to pull off the data partition of a GNex to your computer, but it may be possible.

Have a look at this thread. I think shaaXo managed to find a way for your computer to see the memory on the GNex and likely dump it (although it is not very user-friendly).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chancy319:
That sucks. If it's deleted, it's gone for good. Sorry, buddy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gavdroid:
Thanks very much I will go through that post and see where I get to!

Edit! - uh-oh, taking a quick look it seems you need to use CWM, which I take to be ClockworkMod, which I thought required the phone to be rooted to install it? And if I understand correctly, rooting requires an unlocked bootloader, which wipes your data??

I will take a deeper look in case I've misunderstood (very likely), but am I thinking clearly here?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jluu1286:
Hey Everyone,

I'm going to France/UK for a month in about 3 weeks :D

But I would still like to get in contact with my family here in the states. I was wondering if anyone knew the best way to get service while outside of the country.

Would it be cheaper to get a sim card there and plop it into my phone or call ATT and tell them I'm traveling and that I need service there.

Lastly, if I go the sim card route, do I need to do anything to be able to use the card or do I drop it in and it works?

Thanks again!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Ph0n3D0rk:
Firstly, congratulations and I hope you have an amazing time. :) Last summer I went to Greece, Italy, and France so what I did was turn off my data (just the toggle in settings) and used the wifi over there for apps that let you call or text others who have the same app. At&t also has a messaging plan where you get 100 texts for like ten dollars or so I think but you can't double up -_- for some reason. Don't buy any At&t overseas data plans, they will charge you an arm and a leg.

But any ways, if you know you are going to populated parts of the country where you'll get wifi, then you should be good with that to talk to friends/family here for a really good portion of the day. (many cafes and such offer free wifi but hotels, you'll have to pay but it's super minimal- equivalent to about three dollars on average for your stay there)

Again, wishing you the best of luck. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] animatechnica:
3 possible options outside of using ATT

first call att and see if they unlock your phone for you - if not use cellularunlock (~$25) to get the unlock code, once overseas, buy a local sim and use that

if wifi is available use that - first sign up for google voice then install grooveIP and log in with your google voice account - you can not make wifi based phone calls (caveat - not sure if groove ip enabled yet in Uk or france)

use Skype - sign up for thier very cheap monthly subscriptions, and use that when in wifi range
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jluu1286:
Thanks for the replies guys!

I think from the look of things I'll get my phone unlocked and just get a sim card there.

I'm going to hope that there is a ton of free wi fi so I can call the family back home but I also need service to keep in contact in towns while I'm there.

Also, will unlocking the phone affect anything? Because I'm currently rooted and running TheUnofficial.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SKyRocKeting727:
Nope. Unlocking a phone lets you use carriers overseas. Has nothing to do with os.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] marrial1809:
Hey there,

Nowadays lots of things there, you can contact your family very easy and free services. There's lots of application on the phone, you can contact through Skype, WhatsApp, IMO and there is lots of apps are available. You can easily video call with these apps. You only need a good internet connection which you can easily find in the UK. Happy journey:)

Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] Ramish4:
Hello. I just rooted my HTC Explorer last night and it worked perfectly, until the factory reset but that's a whole different topic. I have a 2GB SD card and I partitioned it into two (instructions were taken from XDA Developers). I divided it into 400 (approx) MB for apps and the rest for the music and video files I had. Now, It's been working fine. But this morning I downloaded some apps and found that instead of using the partition assigned for the apps, it was filling up the 1.3GB I reserved for the music files and whatnot. Can anyone help? I'm not really a Tech-wizard (The rooting itself took about 5 hours!).

Cheers.

Hi everyone,

I'm just asking if CF-root 6.2 works with stock firmware XXALF2?

If it's the case, meaning it will work for all 4.0.4 build?

I'm thinking yes but don't want to make a mistake!

Thank you :D
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mopral:
CF-Root does not include kernel (samsung made S3 with separation between CWM and kernel)

It just:

-change CWM

-add CWM manager app

-add SU app

So far, I used it with 2 different firmwares without issue so it should work on new firmwares without issue
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chewee91:
Ok, still ok for 4.0.4... And for a the next version, for exemple 4.0.5, do you know actually if it will be right?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chad_SK4G:
I've had the Sidekick 4G since it was released about a year and a half ago. I know now that Samsung and T-Mobile have pretty much left it to die. I know even when it was new, there wasn't a whole lot of support for it but with it dead, I would think the dev community would come out in droves to develop on it.

I'm sure your asking why would devs do that on an old phone. Here are a few. It's 4G so it's just as fast as new phones, the processor is fairly good and I've never had any lag complaints around it, and best of all it's going to be cheap now that it's dead. If you could pick up a cheap 4G phone with a full keyboard, why wouldn't you want to flash the hell out of it.

There are a few custom Touchwiz components from what I understand that have stopped a lot of devs but since it's dead, T-Mobile or Samsung may be willing to release the code or with enough people working on it, we may be able to get past the issues. The stock version is Froyo so there is tons of room for improvement and a grateful community if it gets done.

I would be interested to hear why dev teams wouldn't want to play with a cheap 4g, full keyboard phone. Let me know.

thanks

Chad
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NCchrisSU:
Hey guys, I posted this in another forum, but never had any responses. I've also searched this site quickly and didn't see anything regarding this.

How well does S-Voice control music? I always play my music through bluetooth in my truck and I think it would be great to be able to change songs through voice commands. I've seen videos showing that S-Voice can start playing music, but none showing that it could actually play a specific song on request, (i.e. play *insert song here*). If S-Voice is not currently capable of doing this, would rooting the phone accomplish this with certain mods? I have never rooted a phone and I am looking forward to taking the dive with the GSIII.

And finally, when using S-Voice to play songs, will it only play through the stock music player, or could you play songs through Google Music?

Thanks guys, I really appreciate your help!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SkillfulMmd:
Hi there I assume if you make a third party music the default it would play from there but maybe not as then it wouldn't have the integration, I could test it if you like. And as far as music control goes its very good you can do loads of commands such as:

play

pause

stop

skip

then more advance commands like

play > alex claire too close

play > playlist bike songs
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NCchrisSU:
That is awesome... I do hope there is a way to make Google Music the default player as I much prefer streaming my music as opposed to taking up storage space on the phone.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SkillfulMmd:
Well I downloaded PlayerPro as I can't get Google music in the U.K (not legal anyway

) and I made it the default music player. Unfortunately even after doing this S-Voice will still open the song in the default Samsung music player.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtacy!:
Linaro FTW!!

Thanks to your post, I quickly searched for news on Linaro and I must say it's impressive.

Regarding your question, Linaro improvements are being merged in CyanogenMod and Google is reportedly accepting some of these improvements in their AOSP ROM.

As for its roll-out, only time will tell. But your best bet is to look for future builds of CM and Google AOSP. Sony and other manufacturers will take longer due to testing and customization.

Everything looks so much more interesting now. This has definitely whet my appetite. :D

- "how to play" at start is unreadable because low quality and actually the menu too.

- menu music is repetitive too much (i think), and engine's sound too ("vroom ... vroom... vroom... ad eternam, noisy).

- stop the "High score submited" for Openfeint when the actual score is not better than the Openfeint's one. (retrieve the openfeint user's score, and only if the new score is better than this one, submit it, and you won't have this notification at each game).

+ controls are OK.
