[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Corey Bryant:
I have a Nexus 7 16G and right now I have attached a flash drive to the unit. From reading everything, it says I can use Es FileExplorer and get to /sdcard/usbStorage/sda1 - however, I cannot get to this folder. When I click on the /sdcard/ - I get clear history.

I tried using my Bluetooth keyboard to type, but that did not work.

Everything I have read speaking about rooting the device, which I do not want to do. How can I get to this folder?

I did get the Media Importer but that did not seem to work. I think it was because of too many connections. I found an article PSA: Amazon Has A USB OTG Cable For Less Than A Dollar With Free Shipping, So You Should Probably Buy It, which is a lot better that what I have.

But will the Nexus 7 support 64GB or 32GB? I called support and they said they did not know of a memory limitation.

Thank you!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arkhan11:
N7 supports even hub (with external power source if you connect power-hungry devices)!

you can connect keyboards and mouses with no root but you have to root and install stickmount (from the play store) to manage external drives (hdd, flash drives, etc.). With stock kernel fat32 is supported as r/w, ntfs only read. You need to flash a custom kernel to get ntfs r/w support.

With no root, there's no way. Sorry.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Corey Bryant:
Hm, I get different answers.

When you say hub, can you let me know exactly what you might mean? I think I know, but I would like to be sure. I would like to stop buying things and have them not work.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sparksd:
Example - I connected a non-powered, 4-port Belkin USB hub to the Nexus using the OTG cable. I plugged a thumb drive and a wireless mouse receiver into the hub and was able to simultaneously use both the mouse and the thumb drive (using Nexus Media Importer).

Dave

edit - I am not rooted.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Corey Bryant:
OK, that is what I thought. So I do need that OTG cable and no need to root it.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JesseMT4G:
Some say the OTG cables work with downloading media importer, others say you need to root to play large files.

I will know in a couple days.

Least I didn't waste money as Google play gave me 25 free bucks.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arkhan11:
reply

sorry, I didn't know about Nexus Media Importer.

Anyway the root access allow you to mount the drive as internal memory so you can play with ALL files in the thumb. Through Nexus Media Importer you play via MTP which doesn't allow some kind of files (eg. mkv) which with proper players (eg. mx player) the Nexus can handle. Read the description of that app for further details.

About usb powered hub

basically sth like this. It's needed just if you attach many things or an HDD. it would be good to use it always with more than one peripheral not to load the battery as it's not designed to discharge heavily this way.

About not working things

what did you buy which doesn't work?

Hey everyone,

I have a problem with multi touch functions in my HTC One X.

I noticed that two fingers multi touch are works fine, but when I use 3 or more fingers, the multi touch doesn't work,

actually it opens the media link HD setup.

There's a way to disable this behavior?

Okay guys I found a solution:

All you need to do is to go into settings->Display, gestures & buttons-> uncheck HTC gestures

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssahmed532:
I am taking baby steps for the moment after having found that my S2-I9100 is vulnerable to the infamous Brick Bug (Yes, I have an insane chip).

Just wondering what benefits there would be in flashing the Siyah Kernel (v4.1.5) on my S2-I9100 running a stock Samsung ICS 4.0.4 ROM.

Other than slightly improved battery life, what else can I look forward to with the Siyah kernel with a stock Samsung ROM?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sun90:
the most important benifit u have is that 'Siyah kernel' is free of the 'eMMc' bug which could potentially damage ur phone:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Poroto:
Root, cwm touch, dual boot, etc
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssahmed532:
Yes, that I am already aware of! :)

So other than being safe from the Brick Bug, what else can I look forward to with the Siyah kernel and a stock ICS ROM?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sun90:
u have to install the same to see the benifts ma8:)

since i am using 'Siyah' with a custom JB rom,hence not aware of how it wrks with a stock samsung rom;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redchris:
So just to be clear (as a complete noob who has never attempted anything of this nature before) flashing Siyah v5.0i with a phone known to have the infamous brick bug chip is safe?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cosmic Blue:
yes, because you are not wiping anything until after you install the kernal which is brick bug free.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redchris:
Thanks for the quick answer Cosmic Blue. So I flashed the Siyah kernal and lo - it worked (thank god!). So now a question: If the Siyah krnal is brick bug free should I expect to see the brick bug check app to give me a negative result? it is telling me that my phone still has the brick bug.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Because the app is checking to see if the hardware eMMC chip your phone has is susceptible to the brick bug. If your chip still has the potential to be affected by the bug, changing the kernel won't fix that, but if you have a kernel which has MMC_CAP_ERASE disabled, then you will be safe.

So by flashing Siyah, you are safe (because it has MMC_CAP_ERASE disabled), but your phone will still report as having the bug.

Make sense?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theunderling:
I think its the chip thats the problem....so youve still got the same chip.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redchris:
thanks for the helpful answers folks and sorry for the inane questions. My reasons for flashing to Siyah were twofold: I experience frequent lock ups and significant battery drain. I thought I'd try JB and see if that made a difference. Having the brick bug chip persuaded me to try Siyah. Now I just need to figure our how to update to JB and dual boot. I found this thread which seems helpful:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1680851

So more inane questions: I need to install a JB rom, right? CM10 M1? Are there any further risks associated with takingthis step?

Thanks again in advance for any help.

You don't 'need' to, but as long as you make a nandroid backup (backup your apps with TB pro, sms with sms backup and restore etc) and follow the installation instructions, to the letter, for each rom u wanna try, you'll be fine. And if u ever fancy going back to stock, just restore your nandroid. Happy flashing :)

Hi Folks,

i am comming from various HTC mobiles and now wanted to try an tablet.

After a few days of research I came to the Acer A700 and orderd me one.

First everything was fine - the I synced the tablet with Outlook 2010 using myPhoneExplorer. I do not want to use google for syncing. There is too many data in my contacts and calendar I do not want show up in whatsoever net.

Contacts working fine, the Calendar sync was also successful, but I found no way to display the contacs. I was alwas asked for a google account.

Does anyone here has an idea how I can get a sync calender working on this device? I tried pocket informant and the build in calender to test. I reset the tab and tried to create a new appointment - choosing a local calender - it was not possible. the question for a google account again.

Any other ideas? Otherwise the Tab will go back on monday.

[Android Software Development] RickInHouston:
I was just reading the latest gossip on Nexus phones. Saw a home screen shot of a page of icons and the icons looked slanted. Then it hit me - instead of swiping from screen to screen, what if the block icons (apps) just appear to individually rotate to the icon in that same position on the next page! Or put another way, the flat icon is actually a four sided box and only one side shows at a time. Swipe and all the boxes rotate to the next side you swipe toward. A widget would seem to rotate and morph into whatever is on the next home screen page!

That might look pretty 'fresh' compared to the current way of screen refresh we now know.?.

Sound promising?
[Android Software Development] GermainZ:
So basically, like a Rubik's cube? Or am I picturing it wrong?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] droidmakespwn:
I just picked up a note a few days ago and it was and is on ics rooted. I have read through many stickies and did a lot of reading online. I believe the bootloader is unlocked because the initial Samsung logo only appears for a very short period before it disappears. (read online that's a quick way to tell) anyway. I want to flash roms but i have read a lot of forums about bricking if you are not on the right kernel and factory resetting in cwm. I currently have twrp installed and i can easily access it. I basically just want to know if Im ready to flash roms or how i can figure that out and if so what is the safest way to flash. Sorry about sounding noobish but i just came from a galaxy nexus and i bought this phone already rooted with ics. Thanks in advanced.

Edit: i don't care about the flash counter because it comes without warranty.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] droidmakespwn:
The only reason i ask is because i got the phone in this condition. I have rooted and rommed many phones before. Only difference is they have all been from stock.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MikeCriggs:
Please be nice to noobs. :)

Here is a quick run down of how to flash a ROM without bricking your device.

All files will be in ".zip" archive.

1) Download the ROM of your choosing (I recommend AOKP JB or CM10) along with GAPPS (Google Apps).

2) I recommend using TWRP recovery instead of CWM. (CWM has personally given me a lot of issues after using it for years). you can find instructions on how to do this at www.teamw.in

3) Make a backup of your ROM from recovery (just in case)

4) Wipe system, data, cache, and Dalvik cache. (Do NOT wipe internal or external storage [sd and sd-ext]).

5) Flash your ROM and GAPPS and enjoy :).

If you need any more detailed instructions or have any questions, Google or just ask. I don't mind helping. Good luck, and welcome to XDA :).

P.S: don't unzip the files, you flash the zip archives. Lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] droidmakespwn:
Im only a noob to the note. I've flashed about a million roms before and i thought it was pretty straight forward until i saw a warning about being on the wrong kernel bricking phones. That was my big issue. I had a galaxy nexus before this and i could flash anything without being able to brick.

Hey guys,

I've been googling a bunch but what I found so far hasn't really convinced me.

I have my N7 for a week now and today it suddenly started behaving weirdly: When I plug it in I basically cannot use the touchscreen. Just putting a finger anywhere on the screen makes it go crazy, numerous apps start opening, I can't even unlock the device because the movement isn't being recognized correctly. It seems to work fine when it's not plugged in...

I reset the N7, thinking that this probably is a software problem but it didnt help. Now whats weird is, that I had the same exact problem with my Asus TF300T that I sent back in.

So, am I boned?

I know a lot of people have problems with the touchscreen but nowhere have I seen it described as being that bad when plugged in, it's not usable anymore!

Is there a software solution to this problem? If not I'll sent that sucker in immediately...

Sidenote: That problem only accures when I plug it into the PC. When it's plugged into the wall with the adapter, it works normally
