[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] singer36:
Hi everyone !

i have using a Samsung Galaxy S3 for one month now... and Cyanogenmod 9 for 2 weeks already.

I know about it since i have already been using Cyanogenmod for a year and a hlf on my previous phone.

My problem is very simple :

when i connect my phone to the computer, i have a screen asking me to choose a conexion type :

- MTP

- PTP

- UMS

the problem is that the last one (USB Mass Storage) is greyed out and i cannot choose it !!??

i have been searching xda forums without success about it...

My microSD is formatted in FAT32 (exFAT does not work with cyanogen)

My question now :

can anybody tell me if it works for him ? (galaxy s3 + CM9RC2 or nightly + FAT32 microSD + windows + UMS)

thanks a lot !

and thanks for the amazing work done by cyanogen team...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] singer36:
no answer ??

come on guys ! :)

- samsung Galaxy s3 => best phone ever

- cyanogenmod => best rom

so i am shure we are a lot using this config !

still : have a nice day !

i think samsung may have done the most stupid mistake and remove kernel support, its not on stock firmware either
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deusdies:
Try the SGS3 Easy UMS. Search XDA.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] singer36:
thanks for your answers, but :

- easy UMS is meant for stock roms and derivates... which is not the case regarding CM.

so if anybody using SGS3 + CM9 could check on his phone, please confirm me ! :)

here is what it should look like :

but for me, third option is greyed... so i cannot select it... :(

thks

No USB Mass-Storage is part of ICS, not Samsung phones.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badaeng:
It doesn't work for me either, maybe it's not supported yet?

I am running CM9 too and UMS works every now and then. ES File explorer seems to continuously scan the extsd though so sometimes it takes a couple of tries until it's mounted
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
+1
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] singer36:
well... in fact, according to what i've read, ICS does include UMS... but only for external SD cards...

Anyway, the fact that the option is visible in the usb share screen in cyanogen makes me think that it is/will be a part of CM.

therefore the question is :

- do my phone has a problem ?

- or is it a future option that CM team is currently developping ? (and yet not finished ?)

But Samusung definitely did not want us to get it...

PS : i just installed the latest nightly build of CM9 (android 4.0.4) on a galaxy S2 and i get UMS ! (through an 'android 2.3 style' usb share screen)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshnichols189:
Samsung isn't trying to keep you from using UMS.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
At least in CM10 Preview the kernel modules are present but it does not react to the commands.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkress:
It works just fine on my Galaxy SII (i777) running cm9. And it mounts both the internal and external SD cards in mass storage mode. However, I have a galaxy tab 10.1 that the option is also grayed out on. I am guessing each device has different drivers associated with UMS which may be why it isn't working on all devices yet. But, it definitely is not a problem in CM9... More the device it sits on.

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonpaslim:
How about this lrg theme. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1784715

If your in rooted stock rom just delete the systemui.odex in the system/apk. It says their in the thread.

I never tried it in rooted stock but in lrg custom rom called alba v3 and it works great no problem at all.

Thanks but i already have my own theme and i want to make the notifications transparent and this is done with the xml files hence why i need a decompiled systemui
[Motorola Droid RAZR] twolostminds:
I believe most people who start these threads, petitions, etc have good intentions but continue to travel down the same failed paths.

No matter how many times we rage against the machine or wave our cyber-fists in the air Big Corporations like Motorola are not going to unlock their bootloaders unless the federal government forces them to obey Block 4 laws.

Our wonerful Congressmen(women) aren't going to do a thing about making Moto unlock the bootloaders because they have no clue what a bootloader is or does. Hell, most of them need their grandchildren to set the clocks on their VCR's. And they have VCR's because they don't want to embrace that DVD fad.

A solution to force every cellphone equipment manufacturer and wireless carrier to unlock bootloaders.....

Gain public support and embarrass Congress into doing their job.

How you ask??

Here is a good start. The federal government mandates that all wireless carriers and wireless equipment manufacturers make smartphones accessible to the disabled.

Now ask yourselves, especially you Dev's, how a locked bootloader hampers programmers abilities to fully integrate accessibility software into a smartphone. How custom ROM's cannot be created for the hearing impaired, the low vision/legally blind, completely blind and also the physically handicapped. Sure there are pieces of software here and there that help to a certain extent but there is no integration and locked bootloaders not only hamper programmers but make it almost impossible for software to be created to give the disabled access. Even the ACLU might get interested if the Dev's of XDA can create a comprehensive and coherent statment supporting this stance. Mainstream media will pay attention to this topic because the handicapped = far better ratings than a relatively small group of programmers.

It's an election year folks, no politician wants to be labeled as ignoring the handicapped.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] MyEntityRemains:
it's easier than all that. Tell Verizon to kiss your ass and move to another provider. Big Red is the reason for the locked BL.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] twolostminds:
I switched to Verizon Wireless earlier this year because I needed the more reliable service in my area. And yes, that is an option for many but why go to a different carrier. Running to a different carrier does not solve the problem, it only avoids it until some other carrier does the same thing. Precedent needs to be set that consumers will not stand for carriers violating the law and doing whatever they please. Take up the fight and get bootloaders unlocked for all.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] scottjb:
It's good when you have that option. For some of us it is not an option. I have tried AT&T and Sprint over the years and their phones are paper weights in my house. I would have to go outside my house looking for a spot to make a phone call. I see people doing that in my neighborhood frequently.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] eyriiii:
Oh so you mean that I who live in Europe with unbranded and unlocked Motorola phone should also suffer because the son of *****es carriers in USA wants to lock down their BL? Explain that for me.

PS. They can shove their dev edition up their arses
[Motorola Droid RAZR] twolostminds:
There are many reasons people do not want to or cannot switch. There are also people in other countries with reasons to dislike the locked bootloaders. We don't need to argue the merits of unlocked bootloaders only join together in accomplishing the task. We must choose our battles wisely and pick a tactic that best suits the ultimate goal. Support from government officials, suppot from mainstream media and support from groups with large legal funds will give us a better chance of success. I am not a dev so I cannot compile the technical information and create a summary that can be easily understood by the average person. We need that person or persons.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ewaldtx:
Hi to everyone.

I was just wondering if any of you have experienced all data suddenly disappearing from you phone. The other day, when I was using the camera I got a message there was problems with the internal memory. I restarted the phone, which took longer than normal. Everything looked OK and I took the pictures I wanted.

When I wanted to look at the pictures I found everything was missing in the internal memory except the pictures I had just taken.

Checking the phone with Quick System Info I could also see, there was no system cache anymore. The system cache reappear, when I unmounted it in recovery, and whipped it. The Data was gone for good.

I'm using stock 4.0.4 prerooted rom and advanced stock kernel v. 11

This message was send from my Iconia Tab using the keyboard.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] KidCarter93:
The same kinda thing happened to me about a week ago.

But mine's slightly more weird due to the fact that I wasn't even using my phone at all.

At first, everything was absolutely fine with no problems. I then came off my phone for a while because I was watching a film. When I then went back onto my phone, I noticed that a couple of apps on my home screen were showing as invalid( so the apk was still there but there was a problem with the data side of it). I went into my file manager to see that everything that was saved internally had disappeared.

It was showing that I'd only used 270ish MB, which I know for a fact is wrong cause I'd pretty much filled it.

But because I wasn't using it and it wasn't even being touched, I fant understand the problem.

I really hope someone replies here and can let us know what caused it to happen. Even though it won't get our data back, it would be good to know why it happened.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] deR_Ed:
Hi,

yesterday, I flashed my HD2 with Android the first time. Although this is all new for me it worked fine (thanks to great tutorials everywhere).

I got the recommendation to use "EvoHd2 V70 ICS Nand Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.3" http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1584160 as a good and stable image.

So here is the problem:

I have a Leicke 2300mAh battery in use, but I'm not able to load it. It stays at 0% all the time. The standard battery is charging normal. The Leicke worked in WM 6.5 (no broken pins).

I've searched a lot for this problem but I wasn't able to find a helpful hint for what I can do (maybe I'm searching for the wrong terms, but I'm really not familiar with this stuff yet).

So, can anyone tell me, what I have to search for or what I have to use to get this running?!

If there is already a (answered) thread about this please give the link.... I couldnt find it.

What I did with the HD2:

-> Installed HSPL 2.08

-> Wiped with Task29

-> Installed Radio 2.08.50.05

-> Installed Install MAGLDR

-> Installed EvoHd2 V70 ICS Nand Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.3 from SD

Open up a terminal on your phone and enter this command:

dmesg | grep -i "BATT." > /sdcard/batt_info.txt

And then paste the contents of the batt_info.txt on your sdcard here.

I Just bought the same batt and have exactly same problem with MIUI gb rom.

I think its a pb with battery driver, but sadly arne doesnt work anymore on it :(

Could a dev have a look to these logs?

Thx

That battery is recognized as a 1230 mAh battery. This is caused by the battery itself. It shouldn't report as 0% though, it should just show incorrect values.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mysterioustko:
As you are probably aware, double tapping the home button will launch S Voice on the Galaxy S3. Unfortunately, Samsung did not include a way to re-assign this button for a different function if you don't fancy the S Voice app. Instead, all they did was give you a way to disable the hone button double tap. Well here is a way for you to re-assign the home button double tap without the need for any rooting or modding at all.

Step 1) Go into the S Voice settings and uncheck the Launch SVoice box. This will keep S Voice from launching when you double tap the home button.

Step 2) Install Home2 Shortcut from the Play Store

Step 3) Open Home2 Shortcut and configure it to launch the app of your choosing with a double tap of the home button. The app is pretty self explanatory and setting it up will be pretty straight forward. NOTE: When you get to the end, after you tap "close" it will ask you to set as default. Select Home2Launcher as the default.

Hope this helps anyone who didn't know how to do this. I am currently running CM10, and am using this to launch Google Now with a double tap of the home button.

Any idea how to assign double tap to Google voice search, like it was available on other phones on holding search key?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] artisticcheese:
Seems to be Voice Search is not showing as application by default on GS3. You have to uninstall it using Titanium Backup and then install it from Market. This will put shortcut where it belongs and you would be able to assign it to double tap Home key.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cnstarz:
If you have Apex Launcher, you can go to Apex Settings>"Behavior settings" and scroll down to gesture settings and you can configure one of the gestures to open up recent apps. I chose swipe down. It's not a fix for when you're in an app, but its better than pressing the home button twice or holding it down when you're on a homescreen. You can also configure the home button to open the Recent Apps dialog if you're already on your default homescreen.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mysterioustko:
I haven't observed any difference in the home key from applying this.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Spartoi:
There is a paid app called Multitask Shortcut which is an app that open the multitasking menu. So, if you combine that with this app like I have, then yes you can assign the double tap to multitask.

Yes, home button lag is present sadly.

fyi, if you use this on cm, you will lose access to your trebuchet launcher settings. That menu shows up based on what your default launcher is. Using home2 sets your default launcher to home2.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] antdawe:
I have found a solution to this problem.

I have been using Home2 Shortcut for now but has the issue of not being able to get voice search to run.

A better stock app on the play store is bluetooth launcher.

Scroll down, select voice search then click voice recogniser. Now next time you double click home button it will open voice search.

Ensure that S-voice is still select though and when you double click home first time choose default for bluetooth launcher
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] artisticcheese:
So this will work even though it has nothing to do with bluetooth?
