The A700 JB rom is 100% confirmed smoother than the ICS. If you feel worst than before, you really need a factory reset...

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saldawop:
Before owning the Note 2, I had the S3. The problem with the scared happens on both phones.

When I first got the Note, I removed the sdcard from the S3 and put it straight into the Note.

No media showed up. Formatted in phone, transferred media, all working as it should.

Today, add a video to card, doesn't show. Add a photo, doesn't show.

Format card, transfer media. Nothing shows up.

Am reluctant to buy another card as I tried three Cards in the S3, and the problem was present with all of them.

PS using root explorer I can find all the media, and play them in their respective apps.

Thanks, for some reason that works for my videos, but not with photos and music!!!!

And that is more of a workaround than a solution. Ideally I would like for it to work as it should. Impossible for me to go back to stock as I will always need root to vieww my media(ok, I will probably always be rooted, but I want the option)

Edit: tried again and my music and photos are now showing (using Directory Bind)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spotopolis:
Ive had issues like this on my EVO. Try installing a "media scan" app from the market. It rescans all media content on the phone and then if you want you can remove the app after its done. I had 2 years worth of photos on my 16GB SD class 10 and no pictures or video thumbnails / pictures at all would show. Ran the app and fixed all the issues.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saldawop:
I did try a couple of those apps yesterday.I dont know if either one worked.I mean I know nothing showed up, but it was as though they never actually run.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HTCfreak!:
Same issue

:crying:

I tried formatting several times and copied the data back, nothing helped. Also copying files from my comp to the sd card and internal storage in the phone is very slow. I bought the device yesterday, its stock unrooted.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChodTheWacko:
I don't believe media (pictures/video) show up until mediascanner detects them and sticks in some internal database.

So just copying files onto your external card and popping it in isn't going to work.

media scanner is normally triggered during a reboot, and some apps can trigger it. (generally via 'rescan media' buttons).

Also make sure you don't have a .nomedia file there, as that causes media scanner to skip the directory.

( media scanner can really grind on directories with tons of files )

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HTCfreak!:
I tried a different memory card from my old Sensation and it read the files perfectly... can any of you help me with the copying speed.. it took me 35 mins to copy 1.20GB... just to be sure i i tried to copy the same date using the same data cable and the same usb port, onto my wildfire, and it copied it pretty fast. Any idea ?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dachness:
It sounds like the Sensation card just has slower transfer rates. While your wildfire has faster transfer rates but you are experience issues on the phone side.

Just to confirm, you have formatted both cards the same way and one works and the other doesn't? If possible try to format the card from the phone. Have you tried a sandisk card?

Daniel
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HTCfreak!:
Both the cards are Sandisk 8gb cards, both formatted on the Note 2. I transferred data to card A when its in the wildfire, i formatted the card and put it in the note and formatted it again, and tried to copy the same data to card A, it takes more than 3times the amount of time... data transfer has been slow to the card while its in the note
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nm8:
I have read somewhere that there is a " .nomedia " folder somewhere. Delete that and see what happens.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spotopolis:
Also on top of that, when you formatted the SDCard did you format in the PC or in your phone through recovery? You will want to format through recovery.

I would recommend upgrading to an ext partition and then formatting again (if you don't need the ext). I have found that even formatting the SDCard on some roms (because the way they work) it doesn't wipe everything and upgrading the to ext actually changes the file system of the SDCard rather than a quick format. Then only copy your media back to the card. Dont copy everything like .android, data, and stuff like that. Just what you want to keep.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dachness:
Is there any chance you have a counterfeit Sandisk card? Did you buy it from an authorized dealer? If buying from Amazon make sure you only purchase directly from amazon, LLC and not a third party vendor.

For reference which sandisk card do you have what class is it rated at?

Daniel
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HTCfreak!:
No the card is legit, i got it in the box when i bought the HTC Sensation and worked fine on the sensation. It has good copying speed if i put it in another device like my wildfire even now. I checked copying speeds yesterday using the same card in my wildfire and my new note, but it takes forever to copy data to the card while its in the Note. I have not rooted my Note yet. Its factory stock as of now.:confused:

---------- Post added at 10:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:18 AM ----------

Tried that, and it worked. thanks.... But still having data transfer speed issues... i copied data to the internal memory and even that is slow... this problem is not limited to only my sd card, but also the internal memory :(
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dachness:
If your internal memory is slow I would consider that cause for concern. Perhaps try running benchmarks and comparing your results to those in the benchmark thread. It may be worth returning it for another phone if you can't find a solution soon.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ouzo:
Isn't the speed difference just to do with the way the Note 2 connects to the pc? I.E MTP as opposed to mass storage? I seem to recall my G.F's original Note is dog slow at data transfer in MTP but much faster in USB mode....shame the Note 2 can't do this, it's one of my reservations about buying it.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HTCfreak!:
Now it makes sense to me, thanks :good:

Is there any way to connect in USB mode rather than MTP??
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saldawop:
Can I ask if anyone else suffers from the same problem as raised in the OP?

I would imagine its not "the norm" and yet I have had the same issue on both the S3 and Note 2.

Whilst, it is now working, I am having to use Directory Bind, for it to do so.

I put in a new 64GB card on Saturday, recognised straight away in Settings/Storage, formatted fine in the phone giving me 59+GB of free space.

Put media on it...nothing shows.

I cant ever see my phone not being rooted so it can be worked around,but it just seems strange that I have had this on both phones and yet nobody else seems to suffer from it.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ouzo:
For whatever reason I don't think Samsung enabled USB mass storage mode on either the S3 or the Note 2. It's the one thing that's holding me back from buying one at the moment because I use iTunes Agent to sync with iTunes, and that requires the device to be in mass storage mode when connected to the pc (or you can take the sd card out and put it in a reader, but I don't like to take the back off too many times as most phones end up getting really creaky). It's a real shame because I'm just itching to get one.

Have a look in the GS3 forum - I think there's a thread where someone has created an app that enables you to toggle USB mass storage mode, but I think you might have to be rooted and have a custom kernel. Don't quote me, that's from memory ;)

---------- Post added at 04:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:50 PM ----------

There are a couple of threads about this I think now. I browsed some last night. Sorry, I'm only on my phone at the moment so it's a bit awkward to try and find a link for you (what with having a Sensation with only a 4.3" screen ;) They'll be on the first page or two I think.

My girlfriend's original Note had a similar problem with photos and media after connecting an external hard drive. Going into settings/apps and clearing data on the media storage app followed by a reboot sorted the problem for her.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quick7135:
I use LastPass. LastPass used the sample soft keyboard (modified for the app)

I managed to do the OTA ICS upgrade... oddly I was still rooted after the upgrade?

I haven't seen any other posts about this so I assume it's something specific to my setup/phone

The LastPass folks are looking into it but can't reproduce it.

Problem: The character labels on they keys are a dim white outline instead of solid.

On GB the upshift, keyboard, space bar, and delete keys are labeled this way but on ICS ALL the keys are labeled this way. It's very difficult see making it hard to use. I have no idea where the sample soft keyboard gets it's labels from but I was thinking maybe I'm missing a font file or something like that.

Any ideas?

My decommissioned Droid 2 is running 2.3.4

My Droid 4 is now on 4.0.4 after upgrading from the GB it came with. When it was on GB the keyboard looked identical to that on my Droid 2.

I am having issues with framework-res.apk.

I make some minor changes and add and replace these files into framework-res.apk using WinRar.

Then copy this into the update.zip file and

install from sdcard using clockworkmod.

But then my nookGL won't reboot, and I end up having to factory reset.

After the factory reset the changes I put in the framework-res are now showing up and working fine.

I then need to go through the process to root the nook etc.

This is a very long winded way for some minor changes.

Is there something I am doing wrong?

I am now very hesistant to try any more changes, even though I would love to, as I really don't want to have to go through the whole process again.

Any suggestions?
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Framework.res has to be signed with the system signature.

You can copy over the original META-INF directory (most of the time) when you repack it.

Your problem could be one of three things:

1) You repacked it without the original signature.

2) You repacked it with a new (personal or debug) signature.

3) You repacked it with the original signature but you modified something important (like AndroidManifest.xml).

If you want to get heavily into mods you should resign your whole system with either the debug or your personal signature.

Yes! Thank You, Renata! That was it - problem solved!

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mutn10:
Hi XDA

I'm new here (this is my first thread) and I want to ask something. I have a question about screen protection on the GS3. At the moment I got a screen protector (€6,-) and the original GS3 Flip case (sideways). I also have a black vertical leather flipcase. But now comes the problem.

I find it difficult to type with the case flipped back. You have to kinda hold the phone a bit weird to type and I just don't like it.

My problem with the leather case is that it makes the phone like 2 times as thick.

Now my question: Is it necessary to have extra screen protection next to my screen protector (like with a flip case)? Can I use cases like the Otterbox Commuter in combination with my screen protector without worrying about scratches? I don't want to mess my screen up.

Note: I REALLY don't want any scratches or other stuff on the screen... I just put the phone into my pants and I just use it like a common person. Nothing exceptional.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mutn10:
(knock on wood) I have had an iPod Touch which I used for 1.5 years and I never dropped it. I always put my iPod in a Valenta Pouch, but I just don't think a pouch/pocket is good for a 4.8 inch phone. I don't want something too bulky and be able to use it immediately when I take it out of my pants. Now I'm using the original flip case and that doesn't protect the screen very well against falling. I dropped my phone a few times and I saw the flip part caught the wind from the fall and opened, ending with my phone landing on its screen. That's also why I want a case which has a little part at the front of your bezel/screen, so the screen never touches the surface it's laying on.

I kinda made up my mind, I'm going for the otterbox commuter. Is it a good screenprotector that comes with it?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] srivas95:
Yep! Otterbox make pretty good screen shields. If you don't like it you can always get one from www.Spigen.com. :)

What firmware are you trying to update to? Once your phone is rooted and your "trying all kinds of different ROMS" I question your need for Odin. Unless your trying to go back to a bone stock ROM I'd think that you would want to use whatever custom recovery that you've installed (CWM or TWRP) to install a ROM.
