Some apps such as Root Explorer you will find it located at mnt/extSdCard. Also for some app settings you can point to that. It works for me anyway.

EDIT: Ok just downloaded ES File explorer and figured it out. If you're rooted check 'root explorer' on and check 'Up to root'. Once you do that you can go up to parent folder and select mnt. There you will find /extSdCard. :thumbup:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sabre31:
Issue is your apps can't use external sd card which sucks and no current rom from what I read fixes this because it is a Google screw up on purpose in Ics and jelly bean. You can only use internal memory to install apps now and I am pretty sure Google is doing this on purpose so you store more in their cloud and they can harvest your data more easily for targeted ads. If you install a lot of games from game loft forget it your 16gb internal memory is shot quick and your large sd card is sitting there empty.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drakeymcmb:
Create a folder called external_sd on your internal sd card and download the app ics sd binder and it will mount it to there
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] hunmin:
In ES Explorer you have to go to settings to allow "Root" in order to see your micro sd card in /mnt/extsdcard.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rickwood:
I'm certainly no expert here, but I don't think Google/Samsung have a conspiracy going. Coming from the Linux world, it's a common thing to mount storage under /mnt. The location of the external sd was also a bit weird on my last phone, the Moto Atrix. When it came out it took a while for app developers to adjust their programs to accommodate it (i.e., Titanium Backup). Hopefully the same will happen soon with the S III. As for the ability to move apps to the external sd, I'm not so sure that's a good idea anyway. For me doing that on any Android phone has always been somewhat problematic. I pretty much just use the sd for media storage now.

All my mp3 are on the the SD card, same for pictures and video clips.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Bagbug:
I dont need root (I dont even have root access on this phone) and I can see my SD card with any apps and I never needed to mount the card either.

I dont know what you are all doing wrong.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SysAdmNj:
Exactly what I was trying to say. Why cant we navigate to /mnt and pick our storage ourselves.

Thanks appreciate the help.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Hunt3r.j2:
Or maybe they just don't want to make average users go through a file explorer if possible?

It's not a conspiracy, even if you think it is.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] b1g.p0ppa:
I don't know what the technical differences are, but I can tell you that my experience with FG20 was very choppy audio streaming. Today I flashed FG31 and it would take like 5 minutes for me to even get 3G service after a reboot.

I'm back on FF18. I'm personally going to stick with the Sprint modems until I hear differently.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] aksa:
From what I've seen in the few threads I was browsing, they (FG20 and FG31) are for Boost users, but are almost fully compatible with Sprint. I can't comment about this MMS issue, but I'm pretty sure that roaming doesn't work on FG31 (not sure about FG20). I think that some users actually prefer improved performance with FG31, so if roaming isn't a big deal for you, I guess it's fine. I don't know about any fixes though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stirfry20:
As a long time virgin i can definitely say that sprint slows down the speed of boost and virgin as an attempt to make signing the two year contract that much more appealing. It might play a factor in data connections, signal strength, etc.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EwanG:
Have had a Sony Tablet S that I have enjoyed, but as time goes on I find the inability to root it (came with the wrong kernel and then I got the upgrade notice to ICS the next day which sealed my fate) has become a larger and larger problem. Biggest issue is that the version of ICS on it makes the SD Card read only unless you use the Sony File Transfer program.

So am thinking of getting another 9-10" Android tablet. Would like to make sure it is at least dual core, and this time I'd like to make sure it's easily rooted, etc. Anything like that out there in the $300-$400 range? Would be great if like the Sony it supported a full sized SD card, but I will make do if it at least handles a micro SD.

Thanks in advance!

I just got a 2800MAH Anker Extended battery from ebay, and unfortunately, my TPU case didn't fit over the extended case back. FatalityBoyZahy suggested that I cut the back of the TPU case off to make it fit, and this is what I did.

What you need:

Generic TPU Case

Xacto Knife/Some sort of Cutting Implement

Patience

Optional:

File

Match/Lighter/Some sort of small controlled flame

What I did was cut the back of the case, a little at a time, until it fit over my phone with the extended battery in. I ended up taking most of the back off before it fit.

I'm not that great with an Xacto, so the cut was bumpy and jaggedy. I used a file to even it out as best I could. I'm a bit of a perfectionist, so I wanted a clean edge. So, I used matches to melt the cut edge, and when it dried it was a clean, almost factory finish.

Pics:

Final thoughts...

I think that It came out pretty well. One thing that I do notice is that the sides dont hug the phone like they used to... I think that this is because the profile is slightly different now and I left a decent amount of material. You could probably fix this if you cut a bit more. Its no big deal and you can still press all the buttons. From a distance, this seems like a manufactured case. You can only tell that it's diy'ed when you look at it from close up. Also, I think that using the file wasn't necessary because if you hold the flame there long enough you should be able to melt it down to be even. But don't hold the flame at one place too long... I had my case catch fire once :eek:

Cases are cheap, give it a shot :laugh:

You did a good job and it seems to do the trick nicely.

Thanks! The battery cover really isn't that ugly. It's actually a dark gray with a brownish tint, actually really close to the color of the original back cover. It just looks really washed out in the picture because my camera used flash.

Yeah, I though the same thing... Although I also posted this in the Optimus 2x forums and it's getting even less action there :eek: I've been using the case for a week now and it's working great for me though :)

But does the battery stay securely in place? Or maybe we can figure out how to mod most cases just to have the lump sticking out.

NICE!! So do you not have any back on, just the speck case directly on the phone? And like FatalityBoyZahy asked, does the battery fall out/seem loose in there at all? That looks slick though!

Yes, the battery does secure .I decided to cut off bulky part of the battery door and keep the camera part of the battery door like below picture but turned out I got the different type of battery door (same as OP) so I can't do the mod and can't use the battery door but everything still good .

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sodaboy581:
So, I just got my GSM Unlocked Nexus this week.

I've got my phone pretty much set up how I want (Stock, unlocked bootloader, w/ CWM Recovery and all my apps installed/configured.) The only thing I am disappointed with is the ringing and notification volume.

I checked out Volume+ in the Google Play store, but apparently it isn't working with Jelly Bean at the moment.

I know there are some ROMs that claim to have some audio adjustments, but I'd rather not have to wipe all my settings and install a new ROM. (Back in the day, when flashing ROMs, sometimes it was advised to wipe everything including cache before installing them. Maybe you don't need to do this these days?)

Anyhow, I'm just wondering if there's some sort of thing I can flash in CWM that isn't a full blown ROM or even a working volume app, that I can use to boost my notification and ring tone volume.

Thanks in advance for any help.

EDIT: Nevermind! Think I found what I was looking for. :)

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] 007math:
Hi everyone! I am considering getting the LTEVO (my top choice) for my first phone, henceforth my first android (I've used iOS on my iPod touch). I had some questions which I'm hoping you guys can answer:

1) When taking 1080p video, does the camera autofocus during the shoot?

2) My dad's HTC TouchPro2 has Sense and it's a resource hog and very sluggish. I know the Evo has a top-notch processor, but do you guys ever find Sense to be troublesome, lagging, or freezing?

3) I've read around here and found out there is a multitasking issue with Sense. Is the only [non-official] way to fix this by installing a rom?

4) Related to above question: is there a rom that has stock ICS?

5) When one flashes (i believe this is the right word?) a different rom, is it possible to return to the stock HTC evo software?

6) Do you guys know any good deals to buy this phone :D?

The other phone im considering is the Nexus since it should get updates quickly; however, it seems the Sprint version still has yet to officially update to JB...

I am sorry if these questions have been asked before...I have yet to try a Evo hands on (I plan to go to the Sprint store and do so if my parents agree to buy it) so these might be very n00bie...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] michael.stollaire:
These are all good questions. I would suggest test driving the LTEVO and Samsung g3 so you can get a good feel for both. Now, I with that said, there are stock ICS rooted ROMs here, and I happen to run one myself. I personally love sense, and but if you find you don't you will find ways on XDA to turn sense off and there are also senseless ROMs.

There is a camera mod here that I'm running that makes the already amazing photos and videos even more amazing.

About the Nexus, yes it will always get updates first, but compare hardware specs to the LTEVO and also, understand that sometimes it is good to get updates and patches second, so you can read about all the issues that the Nexus owners have after taking the updates, and including Jelly Bean. This is the senior enterprise software architect in me talking.

You can return to stock with the latest RUU for the LTEVO nicknamed Jewel, and I would check out Amazon and Best Buy out for deals... I hear they just knocked $100 off the price.

HTH!
