[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ciscostud:
My MicroSD card is exFat formatted 100%.

When using Kies or connecting via USB to PC it won't transfer my files over 4gb.

The MicroSD is not fat, fat32, if that's what you're thinking is causing the problem.

I can however transfers large files over 4gb to my MicroSD if its directly put it into my PC SD slot. Using this method works and I now have huge 12gb movies on my MicroSD.

So here is my problem.....What's up with Kies and MTP protocol not allowing these large files to transfer?

Any help or knowledge on this would be great!

Try using AirDroid!:angel:
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ciscostud:
Its not about airdroid, I don't think airdroid can find extenal sd anyways. Its about MTP and Kies not transferring larger files.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abubasim:
This could be an issue with JB. I had the same problem on my GS3. On ICS, I can copy HD movies larger than 4 GB to my microSD card (64 GB). But when I flashed one of the JB leaks, this didn't work anymore so I quickly went back to ICS.

Big disappointment that the Note II doesn't support UMS mode. MTP is pure garbage. If I was the developer of it, I'd just drag the whole project to the trash can - no hesitation - before anyone found out what crap I'd written!

THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH! YOU JUST SAVED ME FROM BUYING THIS! I fretted and worried that Samsung would f*ck this up like they did with the S3 and sure enough my fears have been confirmed.

Thank you!

Thanks, I do know of this already as I've already had the misfortune of buying the SGS3. I'm a firm believer that my phone should work for me from the get go and not against me. Combine that with the need of rooting and needing scripts - I feel it would be best if I bided my time waiting to see what HTC and LG come out with.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abubasim:
You're welcome!

At least this thread answered one question I had about the Note II: does it support ExFAT? So it does, and I will probably trade my SGS3 for it.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swejuggalo:
I shared a 8GB file within my network. I accessed the folder (well, a shared network harddrive to be exact in my case) with File Expert and copied the file without issues to the external MicroSD (exFat). No need to pull out the MicroSD.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abubasim:
I can confirm that the SGS3 with the official JB ROM has the same problem. I can no longer copy large HD movies (+4GB) to my 64GB SDXC exFAT memory card.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swejuggalo:
What methods have you tried? File Explorer with shared hard drives, put up a own ftp server or any some other variants it offers should work. Not all software seem to be able to copy big file according to reports made by users here and on other forums.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s327374:
I am having the exact same dilemma with Note 3. Anybody find a solution?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyberboob:
Get an external card reader... (I recommend something like this http://www.transcend-info.com/products/Catlist.asp?modno=396&cat_no=208 ).

Then you can transfer your large 4GB+ movies/files over.

Hi All,

I've been trying to find some spare time to work on a new version of AppExtractor and I'm to a point where I'm looking for testers / feedback.

AppExtractor is a tool which will allow you to restore individual applications, data, SMS, and MMS messages from your nandroid backups.

The new version of AppExtractor supports CWM 6 backups (which restores faster than other backups), CWM 5, and TWRP. I have also updated the UI and some other tweaks to hopefully speed up restoring from backups.

If you are interested, please give this new version a test drive and let me know what you think and any issues that you run into.

Play Store Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.handyandy.appextractor.beta

Thanks!

-Andy
[Android Apps and Games] Hemidroids:
Can you explain what it accomplishes?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] awjones:
Sorry - I'll update the OP... AppExtractor lets you extract apps/data/settings from your nandroid backups (CWM, TWRP).

[Android Apps and Games] CoolApps:
Awesome app :D
[Android Apps and Games] Stevethegreat:
I tried it, doesn't seem to be able to restore data though. Kudos for being able to read from the CMW6 backups in the first place .... It would be great if it was possible to restore individual apps' data though, it's most of the purpose of such a utility. Oh, also it couldn't restore nether my sms nor my phone data either...
[Android Apps and Games] sparkysshocker:
Okay I have been unable to restore SMS/MMS using the app. At first I thought it was only related to CWM and the new Backup file system Koush went to (which he changed again), so I dumped CWM for TWRP which I thought would fix the issue. Turns out I was wrong when restoring from a TWRP SMS/MMS restore says it completes but the message list is still empty (even after a reboot).

Any thoughts on a fix.
[Android Apps and Games] gbh:
thanks for your work on this.

Using on a CWM 6 recovery Samsung S3 4g, had to manually change card location to extSdCard and then it found the backup. Sadly once it finds it, it opens the backup up but can't see anything inside it. Will wait for further updates.

Let me know if you need more info etc.

any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] int0x13:
Please, tell me how to use the version 2 beta, i cant use it it tells Beta is finished. I just want to use it, even if it's buggy, how to force it to run?
[Android Apps and Games] pilotn:
I'm afraid this app is dead man ... no new release .... no answer in forum .....
[Android Apps and Games] int0x13:
You are right, so there is only one application that supports CWM v6 backup format, and this application is called nandroid manager.

It's here:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.h3r3t1c.bkrestore&hl=fr

Currently version 1.1.2

There is some issue with it:

There is no feature to restore contact

The feature to rename (the pen icon) is breaking the restoring through CWM afterwards, because the md5 checking script is based on the original folder name

For me Restore call logs was not working at all

Not sure Restore wifi was working, same for bluetooth.

Restore Home screen not supported yet, and for which launcher?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] akrite:
Hello,

I just purchased an ion from the interwebski, and updated it to ICS through Sony PC Companion. AT&T sure has a lot of CRAP on this, and I have no option of removing as we all know.

Is it possible to find a clean stand-alone ICS from Sony and install it to the phone? I'll make the comparison of being able to download whatever Apple's new iOS is from their FTP site, and do a shift+leftclick and install that clean OS.

I'm not opposed to rooting the phone if it comes to it, but i'm a little gunshy due to the fact that every rooted android i've ever owned has gone tits-up.

I'm sorry if this is re-post, and thanks a million in advance for any help.

:fingers-crossed:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Spectre51:
Root the AT&T firmware and remove bloatware or install generic international firmware (LT28i).

Don't ask how to do either of those as its already been posted.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] akrite:
Thanks for the response. I've been studying the forums and as many related posts for the last few days and I have a few questions. It also seems you are one hell of a source of knowledge for this phone in particular. Here goes:

1.) I cannot unlock my bootloader as per the *#*#service#*#* -- Does this mean I am unable to use CWM? Fastboot?

CM Nightly Discussion = :(

2.) How can I tell if this is an LTE or HSPDA phone? *I did read your discussion where a guy wasn't able to get a 4G indicator, and you advised him to call ATT and ensure he has the appropriate sim card. I don't see a 3G or 4G indicator on mine either way. I do however get a 4G indicator (but so did my iPhone 4s, which is definitely NOT 4G capable). I pulled this sim from my iPhone 4s and stuck it in this phone.*

I will edit this again later, I have more questions, but for now it's the end of a long day and my brain is fried.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Spectre51:
1) you can still get CWM but not fastboot.

2) You said it was an at&t ion right? Then it should be LTE. Don't think the lt28h can flash the lt28at firmware because of the LTE though I could be wrong. Dial *#*#7378423#*#* and go into Servixe info -> configuration and see if you have the LTE bands listed.

Thanks for the reply.

What if I was to just put a different bootloader on the phone?

Go to Settings --> Apps --> All, go to each AT&T app and click Disable.

You need to understand what the generic "4G" is

1. The iPhone 4S is "4G" but not LTE. There's a big difference (3G in my area is 2-3mbps, 4G is 5-6. LTE from people I've seen can be 40mbps+)

2. The 4G icon you see is most likely just HSDPA. Do a speed test. If it's insane high, it's LTE. 10ish or less, it's 4G

3. The LT28at is an LTE capable phone

AT&T and others throw around the term 4G for people like yourself and others who think that "4G" is the fast data. It's faster than 3G but not THAT fast. Think of 4G in reality as 3.5G
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] akrite:
Thanks for the reply. Last night I ended up flashing LT28I to this phone.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jpcdeux:
How'd that work out? Last time I flashed stuff like that was before ICS out and when I flashed it I messed up somewhere along the line it bricked and I had to send it in for a warranty replacement!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] akrite:
Well, I used bin4ry's rootkit v13 (v12 and v14 didn't work out real well) with Lt28i ICS (courtesy of flashtool).
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jpcdeux:
I flashed the i FW, rooted, flashed CWM and the deodex files then my phone froze and I had to force restart. It was soft bricked and just now is finally to where I can flash it

I am restoring my SGH-T989 to stock to send in for in-warranty repair, and I want to make sure I have all my bases covered.

I am running CM9, and I have booted into download mode, and my flash counter still says "NO."

will using Odin to flash the stock ROM back on cause that counter to trigger?

is there anything else I need to know?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] diamondjoker5:
You should be good. I just restored my phone via odin to stock gb a couple of days ago and it was still set to NO. Even after a couple of reflashes of custom roms it shows NO.

you should be fine, also, my friend sent his phone in for warranty with a flash counter of like 6 lol. They never bothered him about it.
[Android Themes] :
I would really like to know how i can edit or get a completely different look on the app drawer..i dont really like the single column app list, look at the screenshot

Just go in Launcher 7 settings

than in app drawer menu and select android style drawer.

after that you'll have a 3 column applist in portrait and 6 column app list in landscape...

hope this help you!

[Asus Transformer TF700] itrof61:
We all know that the animations/transitions for JB on the infinity are a bit choppy/slow. A possible fix I found is with Nova Launcher. In Nova settings/ look and feel/app animation, select Ice Cream Sandwich. Of course this will change the animations to ICS but I find them way better and faster than the stock JB on the Infinity. Also I feel the tablet snappier. Please share your thougths.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Frostbiter:
My animations after the JB update have been so much more smooth than ics even after just first installing it install. Even after factory resetting and not using Nova launcher for the little bit of time I had no issues with the animations at all in fact they seemed to improve slightly after the factory reset. If you haven't done that I would suggest doing so, that may help.
[Asus Transformer TF700] HoushaSen:
I believe this is quite subjective part. Some feels nearly perfect, other don't. Just like in video game some complains couple frame drops here and there, and others don't care at all.

One thing that may be helpful if you can is to show us a video clip of before and after so we know what are exactly the benefit. :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] itrof61:
I'm just saying that with this method the animations/transitions seem a lot smoother. You can try it and let me know, it would be helpful.
[Asus Transformer TF700] RpR:
My animations are smooth, but web browsing is useless on website with more than a few pictures on them. I can literally wait 3-4 seconds everytime i scroll, before the graphics catch up. Bought mine a day ago, still undecided on wether to just return it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Jovisgs2:
It work!!! I was so worried. I had a friend buy this for me in the US as UK amazon is still not available and when it is, is at a ridiculous price. Got it 2 days ago and the first thing I did was to update the firmware which was available OTA so I didn't get to see ICS on it. JB was so bad. This Nova option is great. Let's see if an update fixes the issues. cheers.
[Asus Transformer TF700] rlarson)mn:
I have a TF700T and a Ipad3. The iPads claime to fame is internet content consumption and that is where its still ahead of every one else in fluidity and smoothness as well as speed of loading a web pages content. With that said my TF700T with JB as its OS is close to my Ipad3 in these functions. Its far better than the TF101 and TF201 that I have had. If all your going to use a tablet for is web content then go and get a iPAD3 and enjoy. If however you intend to utilize the TF700T for all of its tremendous other features than just accept the 3-4 seconds wait and be content. My Ipad3 has nothing to conpair with my TF700T on the file management side as well as internal memory capabilities. JG has speed up every aspect of my TF700T to the point that its seeable in ease of transitions from screen to screen, application loading, use of applications. It is fare and above anything Asus has put out in the Transformer series before. Web content is only a single feature of the TF700T. The hardware features that Asus has brought into the TF700T tablet make it way more versitile than my Ipad3. I am on my TF700T 4-6 hours each day so much so that I have two dock keyboards. One connected to a AC outlet and fully charged ready for use and the other one married to my tablet. Again, if your looking for the ultimate smoothness and fluidness of only web content IMHO buy a Ipad3 and leave the TF700T alone because you will never be satisfied. If however you can find value in all of the many additional features that Asus has designed into the TF700T tablet and dock keyboard than accept the slight delay and wait patientely until Asus is able to make the OS as smooth and fluid as IOS is at this point in time.

You're so right. it's much much better. thanks for the tip. Dolphin browser is even running faster and loading pages faster.
[Asus Transformer TF700] eduardmc:
i prefer the stock launcher instead of nova or apex. Somehow the stock launcher is all around smoother than other launchers now that we upgraded to JB. Yes, the JB animation is semi choppy but nova or apex does not perfomance like the stock launcher.
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
I believe one of the reasons this is true is that after-market launchers run on top of the stock launcher, so there is a double memory usage.
[Asus Transformer TF700] itrof61:
You can always freeze the stock launcher.
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
Yup, but then if something breaks in the after market one you're hosed without a launcher....well, unless you're conversant with adb shell commands.
[Asus Transformer TF700] aydc:
No need for this. Go to development options and set all three animation speeds to 0.5. Your tablet will begin to fly...

I have an evo 3d rooted running android 4.0.3 (sprint version) S-off, it's my first smartphone so it has been a learning experience. My problem is basically with non htc live wallpapers force closing when i attempt to change the settings for them. At one point my Htc live wallpapers app WAS frozen because i never used it but I fixed that with TBU. I have been messing with this issue for about 2 hours with es file explorer and looking online for similar problems, i checked the FAQ here and couldn't find anything. I did see some info regarding logcats and I'd be more than willing to try that route to track the problem down. Again all htc live wallpapers are 100% functional, i tried using live wallpaper picker but had some install problems and never got past the wp selection screen. Any help is greatly appreciated... (all apk's were placed in system/app/ with the permissions changed)

Edit: I got live wallpaper picker to work without FC, now the only problem is the settings for non factory lwp's causing FC.

I was wondering if there is anyway of disable proxy all together over 3G, I been using a VPN over WiFi and it work perfectly. But when I connect to the 3G my VPN drops. I already have service through "Astrill" and figure I might as well ask here before heading over there and asking support.

I have no ideas where to start, I have follow the instructions about removing sprints proxy. But that doesn't seem to disable it just a work around.
