I think it got corrupted because it was mounting and un mounting to my car when I was removing and plugging in the phone while playing music. But since then, I can't get it to work. I can't try the mass storage trick because I don't even get a device on my win 7 to try it on. The mtp device disappears and nothing new comes in when I hit the on button
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] elfie:
Did you check in device manager?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jiggytom:
Yep, nada. What should it be under. I even tried it in my car today, where it worked a couple days ago and it was a no go. Maybe it's something to do with the ROM
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] elfie:
Well if it didn't show up in your car, then I assume it is the ROM.

Maybe the mounting points in the AOKP rom is different than the Sammy Rom for which I designed it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] plaut:
This isn't working for me, and I'm guessing it's because the mount location of the external card is specified explicitly as /dev/block/vold/179:97 (as in bazald's script). It would be better to cut it from the output of the mount command, as in the (mostly) US-compatible version of SGS3 Easy UMS. To wit, replace

echo "/dev/block/vold/179:97" > /sys/devices/virtual/android_usb/android0/f_mass_storage/lun_ex/file

with

mount | grep /mnt/extSdCard | cut -f 1 -d " " > /sys/devices/virtual/android_usb/android0/f_mass_storage/lun_ex/file

in the UMS enable script.

Thanks for the update - works great now. I have to say I find your app more reliable than Easy UMS, which never seems to want to unmount the card for me (to remount under mass storage mode) probably because I have widgets that access photos, etc. on the card. In any case, thanks for your effort on this.

Got it to recognize a USB device, but now it won't let me open it..just says to "insert a disk" like its not reading anything. Any thoughts?

oh geez..it worked once,and now it won't mount as USB storage anymore..back to the same issue. It only seems to work the FIRST time I ever try to mount on AOKP...right after a clean install. Then it never works a 2nd time.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] elfie:
Zdo you unmount it properly before by turning the app off?

sweet this app is a life saver!!! I just started having MTP problems about 2 days ago I did everything I found 2x over and it always did the same thing,which was copy about 80% of a file then MTP just stops!!! I was this close to just getting rid of the phone and buying something else that actually worked. Is there any way to just get rid of MTP all together and have usb mass storage as primary?

[HTC One S] Closed Source Project:
Do you have a T-Mobile US device that redirects you to T-Mo's site whenever you try to wireless or USB tether your computer? Here are two work arounds to stop that:

Difficulty: Easy. ROM: Any. Description: Spoof computer web browser to say 'Android' when loading web pages.

1) Install an EU ROM. Any ROM based on T-Mobile US has a script that will block tethering if Android is not recommended.

2) (SUGGESTED) (Avoiding the script) No root needed. No APN switching (because that sh!t does not work). You need to spoof your computer's web browser to an Android device. Go on your add-ons/extensions installing page (Chrome, Firefox, Opera, maybe more) and search for a user account spoofer / switcher. I am on Chrome and I use 'Chrome UA Spoofer'. Select the Android Motorola Xoom device to spoof to. Tether via wireless or USB and it works constantly. The only downside is that some pages load in mobile view. You can easily select to show full web page. I used this for multiple hours, multiple PCs, multiple different times and never was redirected to T-Mo asking me to add tethering to my plan.

Why does this happen? Ever since Android 4.0, they added a script in the OS which does this. You cannot uninstall it because it is located very deep in the system (maybe you can, but no one has figured it out.) If you have a EU ROM (no wifi calling), then you will be fine to tether with no problems and no spoofing. Please click thanks if I helped :)
[HTC One S] MadJoe:
The APN thing does work; I use it daily for my Fire, and my laptop on occasion. Not to mention the FCC just smacked Verizon for $1.25M for blocking customers from tethering with third party apps, so T-Mobile should follow soon to avoid a similar fine.
[HTC One S] Closed Source Project:
T-Mobile should be stopped for that. But I have to say the the APN did not work for me. It worked for about 20 minutes, then I was never able to connect again.
[HTC One S] nickmv:
Actually they don't have to allow tethering, nor will they be fined. This was a rule specific to LTE implementations. Since T-Mo is on HSPA+, those rules in no way apply to them.

Also, to the OP -- this works, but you need to keep in mind that it only would apply to web browsing. Tethering is detected via packet identification. The combination of the TTL (time to live) and the device (Android vs computer, etc) gives tethering away. If you were to use bittorrent on your computer, the packets would be identified as computer, and with a computer TTL.
[HTC One S] MadJoe:
Dang, that sucks. I thought it had to do with data limits, since they aren't required to allow it for their unlimited customers.
[HTC One S] TJBunch1228:
I use FoxFi from the play store with zero issues. Stock unrooted.
[HTC One S] fmedrano1977:
It's been figured out over on the Sensation forum. It's a tether apn set to be hidden in the apn.xml found inside the framework.apk, if I recall correctly. Steve from the Elegancia Rom should be able to help.

HTC One S
[HTC One S] Dedren:
How did you get FoxFi to work? I tried it and said it won't work on this device. And when I use bluetooth, the tethered device can't do certain things outside of the browser.
[HTC One S] baseballfanz:
Nothing special, I just download the app, launch the app (did go into settings and set security code) It just work no problems.
[HTC One S] Dedren:
It doesn't work on unrooted HTC Sensation (T-Mobile) for me so still trying to find something that does.
[HTC One S] fmedrano1977:
Then you are using the wrong rom,I was using Elegancia rom and it worked for me. You can't just root the stock rom and expect it to work, there is a separate hidden tether apn built into the framework.apk I believe.

It´s rooted but s-on, have changed ROM´s countless times. Now when powering on devices turns on until this screen

After that it turns off and repeat it again and again...

Can enter to recovery and hboot, have tested all tha options from factory reset to change rom, it seems it´s not reading the sd card, have tested with others, also changed to another battery, but all the time it continues in boot loop.

Any help will be much appreciated!

[HTC One X] mohsinraza:
Hi all. I've been a happy One X user since May. Today I saw few ROMS of JB for HOX. I really wanted to try these but I'm not in a place ( and not in position also ) to fully setup my phone again when I revert to stock.

As I'll unlock the bootloader from htcdev it'll full wipe the phone. Is there any way I can backup the whole rom before root? I'll backup sms, contacts etc but apps, their data, settings, homescreens need time to setup again. If not the full system what maximum I can achieve?

Seems like a silly question but I'll be happy if someone comes with a solution.

[HTC One X] DoeBoi:
You can backup your stock rom with cwm and there are many apps to backup data, contacts, and sms. But it sounds like you aren't ready yet, you should do more research before you go flashing custom roms
[HTC One X] r2b2:
You need to have root to be able to do a backup through CWM, and you need to unlock the bootloader via HTCdev to get root. As you say, unlocking the bootloader will wipe the phone.

Unfortunately there is no way around this at present.
[HTC One X] mohsinraza:
Well im definitely ready to. Flashed my Desire for 1 year. But never had been in a position to backup before root. Thanks anyways.

Yeah just wanted to confirm whether there's a way or not. Ready to flash now.

DIY via buying a replacement screen+digitizer on eBay will run you about $50. Personally, if it's between some stranger taking my phone apart for twice that or doing it myself, if I had the proper tools (which many of those replacement screens on eBay actually include..hmm..) hands down I'd do it myself.

By the way, was your Thunderbolt naked or did it have a case, screen protector?

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mmarekk11:
Hello.

Can anybody tell me from his own experience which xperia of these 2 makes better photos? I know that XS has more Mpx, but i read that XP makes better photos (all in all mpx is not all what makes camera great). I could give you a link here, but it is czech web site, so probably you woulnd understand. I am owner of XS and i think that it could take better photos when i paid so much money for that.

So does anybody have experience or read something about this?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] utsav911:
IMO, Xperia P has better image compression and hence the picture produced by it are better.

I have got Xperia S but i hate the detail what its camera gives.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
Technically S > P, but in reality they're just different.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mmarekk11:
I finally found the web site, which compares these two smartphones´ cameras. I dont know if you will understand but - left photo is always XS, and right is XP - that should be enough info you need :) The photos themself you can compare even without language understanding :)

Author´s conclusion is that XP has better camera.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] cracksquirrel:
Rubbish comparison pics tbh, In most of them there is quite a bit of lighting difference.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] m1st3r1:
no! :D u need to understand the explanation, simply left click -> translate to English when in Chrome. to understand bout it, even a little :D

here (i think) important explanation:

"The second rival Xperia P does have a lower resolution of 8 megapixels, also a little slower, but the camera has a very low compression and postprocessing less aggressive in terms of noise reduction."

again, it's bcause the compression.. i've test it with other camera app, some of them makes better photo than stock camera app, and it's bigger size (the mB) in same resolution.

and ofc u can always reduce noise with applications (such as Photoshop), but u cant add details. so XS won :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mmarekk11:
No, according to what you write XP won, because it has more noise, but better details due to smaller compression.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] m1st3r1:
sorry, i mean detail by the megapixels. according to the web, it said: some macro photos turned out better for Xperia S, this time mostly due to higher resolution.

and i read it wrong. it's the P that has noise :D so sorry... i was fast read it cause the translate is bad :)

and for the compression, i still believe that 3rd party apps done great job in compressing (meaning: lesser compressing) than stock camera app in SXS.

and one of the reason we using android is the freedom to choose apps for certain task right? (change the dialer, change the sms apps, change home) why dont change the camera apps :D

[Nexus 7 General] t_007_v2:
i'm using the motley build 109 for the gpu setting of 520.

gaming on my N7 a little while ago i had my setcpu at 1.5ghz. When i look at setcpu info tab "time in state" the cpu always reverts back to 1.3ghz while gaming. as i understand it the N7 has cpu protection from overheating even motley states this fact. so it doesn't matter where one has the cpu set because once the N7 warms up your dropped like a rock into 1.3ghz.

the only real positive to these kernels concerning gaming is the GPU overclocking. the 109 motley build with gpu oc 520 i was able to achieve a 62.4 on nenamark 2. cpu oc does make the system run faster as long as the cpu stays under temp.

is it worth it to flash the 109 build??? yes. but only for the GPU oc. graphic intensive games like spiderman, nova 3, dead trigger & modern combat 3 run smoother with the extra gpu juice. if your not playing the fancy & newest games your most likely not taxing the N7 enough to see a difference.

[General Questions and Answers] nvrpayretail:
I tried to search and was unable to find anything similar to the problem I'm having. I have an HTC Droid Incredible and an HP Touchpad - both running CM9. On both machines, emails from certain senders do not render correctly (examples: Newegg, OfficeMax). Rather than showing the graphics they both display a ? in a box for each graphic. I've tried multiple email clients (stock, Kmail, google mail) and multiple browsers. Where the emails have an option to view it as a webpage I've tried that and that fails the same way in multiple browsers - Dolphin, stock browser, Chrome, etc.. So it seems that it's something to do with ICS itself. For a short time all worked fine on the Touchpad. I don't know what I changed to make it work as I often apply the latest nightly release and test drivers that developers provide. At some point it stopped working again but of course this fool doesn't know what he did to trigger the change :(. This leads me to believe that I've missed a setting somewhere that I set at some point while testing something on the Touchpad and then reset, perhaps while applying a nightly build. Hope this rambling makes sense and someone might have insight as to what could be causing this. Thanks.....

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] weliad:
Hello,

I wanted to use my SGS2 (I9100) for C/C++ development with ARM NEON. I used LoA's chroot solution to get Ubuntu running in chroot on the device (thanks guys!) and managed to compile and test code. However I ran into some issues with memory consumption levels and with profiling my code.

As for memory consumption, I'd really like to mount a file on /sdcard as swap memory, however the kernel I have doesn't seem to support this function. Is there any pre-built kernel out there for the SGS2, which works with ICS (4.0.3) that supports swap?

The other issue I came across is that the current kernel I have does not expose the ARM performance counters to user-space. I was wondering if there is any pre-built kernel package with the relevant kernel module that enables querying of these counters in user-space?

Best regards,
