That's a great review of this beast! Also, I just read Android Central's review, which was also great if not better than this. I liked how it stated the known drawbacks that are concerns for certain customers, and how they can just buy another android phone. Here's the link:

It seems I can't transfer files via Android File Transfer. On another note (haha pun), I can't believe anytime I want to access my storage I need to load this oddball program, which doesn't even work. I miss USB mass storage.

When I try to copy a file, it tells me "Could not replace file, could not copy file (filenamehere)." This is so frustrating.

Anyone have any ideas? I'm running OS X 10.6.8.

Thanks.

I have no problem transferring files running latest version of OSX on a mbp... The only time I see any error is if my screen is locked when I connect it, I have to make sure it's unlocked when i connect it for the file transfer program to work. It sees the phone and sd card perfectly fine. I see many people on int version complaining of this too but worked first time for me.

hi guys.. I had this same problem trying to use android file transfer from my 2013 nexus 7 to macbook air.

I remembered I had a password set to access ES FILE EXPLORER on my Nexus 7 and opened the app, typed in my password and that made the trick... No more problems transferring from my Nexus 7 to the Macbook air. Tested with a 800 mb mp4.

Use ADB to transfer on OSX

I know this thread is old, but I just happened upon it. I am using OSX mountain lion, and could not transfer to my mac using the OSX Finder GUI. However, there is a workaround…. ADB PULL! (Note: this is nothing fancy/special, its just using command-line utilities instead of GUI and Android File Transfer)

**You must have ADB installed (Google, its not very hard to install it)**

1. Connect via USB

2. Disable MTP on your phone

3. open terminal and enter:

adb pull YOURFILENAME LOCATIONONCOMPUTER[optional]
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jocarog:
You can use Android file transfer and that way you get the same mtp functions as Windows... Get it from here:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] benbeel:
My point was for people for whom android file transfer wasn't working.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jocarog:
Why so defensive? Anyways good point!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ozmotion:
I received the message "Could not copy file [filename]" and "your phone is locked" (dont remember exact wording) from the Android File Transfer app when trying to transfer a file.

The file size was small. The filename didn't seem to matter BUT i have to say: I got 3-4 successive failures with the original filename - which contained a few brackets and parentheses, but then was successful on the first attempt with a renamed file containing no special characters. But later, I was able to copy using the original filename.

Sometimes after unplugging/replugging the phone back in to restart Android File Transfer, I'd see the file appear in the location I copied it to even though it gave me an error earlier.

This did not happen consistently - sometimes it'd work normally, sometimes it'd work but appear to fail with an error, and sometimes it would just fail with an error. The phone was unlocked and on the home screen at all times.

Pretty strange. This is with Nexus 5 stock rom on 4.4.3, Android File Transfer 1.0.50.2266.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] dezzadk:
benbeel is clearly in the right here. To withdraw any errors from unresponsive GUIs and other ickyness you better test adb and see if that fails. Otherwise it's just Android File Transfer which is pretty broken and fragile (my vote goes for that).

[HTC Rezound] ampakal:
Here is the issue I am having. I use the ViperRez rom. It only happens when using a custom rom and not on the stock rom.

The Google Voice app will all of a sudden start using lots of memory and then won't send any text messages. The message will say Sending or Queued. I can receive messages while that is happening but my messages out will just sit there.

The only way I have found to fix this quickly is to go into the task manager and kill the app. Then when it opens it will likely send the messages before the memory use climbs.

I use google voice to send because I have some friends that are texting hogs and I cannot afford unlimited texting.

Some please help me

I have just frozen some carrier(Rogers) bloat apps in my device using Titanium Backup PRO as to try and improve battery life. My carrier is scheduled to roll out the Jelly Bean OTA for the i747M SGS3 devices at the end of this month. Since I froze these apps, will that affect my OTA eligibility? Will my device detect the OTA and not install or just not detect it at all when it becomes available?

Hi everybody, i have a question for Asus Nexus 7 users.

I want to buy Nexus 7 device, but first i have some questions:

»Is possible to download files bigger than 4GB and store them in the internal memory(32GB)?

»According to aTorrent "Large files support (for FAT32 SD cards - 4Gb maximum, for internal storage - unlimited)" only this program can use "unlimited storage" for downloads?

»Is Nexus internal memory work as a storage device like a Ex HDD or USB flash drive right when connected to PC right?

»?Last but also important: I intend to use a VPN server along with Torrent app, for downloads, is that possible? (as i do with computer)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Thailandian:
I'm new to non-stock roms and on a steep learning curve.

I've just installed CM 7.2 (I guess the "official version" - the one from the ClockworkMod website). I'm mostly very happy with it, but keep running into problems with permissions.

If I try almost any command using either the terminal emulator or adb, I get "permission denied" even after su-ing and/or adb root.

Even the most basic command "ls", returns "permission denied".

This problem also seems to be affecting the system a bit. For example, I can't get ClockSync to work - it shows the error message: "Failed to change /dev/alarm permissions, please check that chmod works."

So two questions:

Is this normal for CM 7.2, or is there something wrong with my system?

If it is normal, I notice that there is another version (Mebitek), does that have the same restrictions?

Thanks in advance for any advice.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] yackovsky:
Go for mebitek's version...
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Thailandian:
Thanks yackovsky.

I've just read the last few pages of the mebitek thread and I noticed that several people were complaining about battery life in the latest version.

Would you recommend the latest, or going back to 1.0, or even 0.7 as some others have done?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] yackovsky:
well, if latest version have bad battery backup (i didn't test latest one, but was using it for a while) go for previous one, or try finding kittenlinux build in dev section, i was very happy with it, and it doesn't have options unsupported by mini's hardware like automatic backlight :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Thailandian:
Just in case anyone else has similar problems and ends up here, it turns out my permission problems were not caused by the official CM7.2 rom.

I did install the mebitek version as suggested by yackovsky, and indeed, when I checked on the terminal emulator, permissions were back to normal.

But this got me thinking, so I did a fresh install of the official rom, and permissions were also back to normal.

So I must have done something to mess up my system :o

Unfortunately, because of the permission problems, I couldn't do a titanium backup, so I'm having to start from scratch with apps. :rolleyes:

Anyway, thanks again to yackovsky; I think I'll stay with mebitek now, it does seem a little snappier.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] xerothermic:
Hi,

I have a Xperia TL and just flashed LT30p. I really like the Sony default home manager, but one issue I have is that I can't have more than 5 home screens.

Since home screen is the only place I can create folders to organize different apps, plus some widget I'd like to load, 5 home screen really isn't enough.

Is there a way to add number of home screen?

P.S. I have not rooted my phone and am not planning to at the moment, so it would need to be non-root solution.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Non root option means no sony homescreen with more than 5 homescreens.

You can add a third party launcher but you wont be able to run sony apps like timescape as a widget on them

Root option you can.

You can use the gx launcher mod from themes and apps, it lets you add up to 11 homescreens
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] xerothermic:
Thanks for the prompt response. That is unfortunate Sony didn't make an option to increase # of screen like other launchers. I wonder if I can extract the apk from system image and tweak some configuration files to get there...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Yes, you can. Or you could try putting the gx homescreen mood files into an .ftf file and flashing that. I say try as I dont know if it will work.

There is a way of pulling, decompiling, editing, recompiling and pushing the frameworkres and systemUI apk's but it can not be done from the phone without root, you will need to mess with the .ftf file and flash it in flashtool. But that may break the signatures....

EDIT: Not sure what you mean by timescape manager..
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] xerothermic:
I probably use the wrong terminology here... I mean the home launcher comes with Xperia.

Also, I searched on the internet and found some mod apk which has more screens, but there was no instructions how to do it myself. Can you please point me to the instruction page if there is any?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
goto the themes and app section and follow the instructions to flash the gx homescreen mod.

[Galaxy Note II General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
Ever since the first deployment of UMTS video telephony has supposedly been an integrated feature of the UMTS (and subsequent revisions) standard. For those of you who don't know, UMTS is basically the first publicly deployed iteration of 3G mobile communications, and it's the internationally adopted family of tech standards which includes later revisions all the way up to the HSPA+ of today.

When I lived over in the UK for a few years, I distinctly remember being able to pick up phones which featured video calling right out of the box. This was over the then new 3 UK network, back in 2003! So, when Steve Jobs announced how new and revolutionary FaceTime for the iPhone was back in 2010, my reaction was "b!t(h please! There ain't nothin' 'new' or 'revolutionary' about that ****! I was making video calls 7 years ago, and I didn't need to be tethered to some damn wifi to do it neither! New and revolutionary... my @$$!"

Here're the questions:

Why do no AT&T phones include a native video calling function from the dialer?

Why, when I buy an imported phone, which DOES have the video call function available from the dialer, does it not work, even when calling someone else with the same functionality on their own phone?

Why, when they operate an expansive UMTS/HSPA network, do they apparently not support what is supposed to be an integrated feature of the UMTS standard?
[Galaxy Note II General] foxmeister:
Nay laddie!

Don't you know that Apple invented video calls when they introduced Facetime?

[Galaxy Note II General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
You are correct, it does have everything to do with AT&T, so going to the AT&T forum will do me no good to help. The problem is, AT&T does not, and never has, liked the idea of carrying video-call traffic over their network. What I'm trying to do here (if it's even possible) is give AT&T the proverbial middle finger, and use video calling anyway.

So called tech support woman who was hacking violently into the phone the whole time literally had me go into settings and turn on airplane mode on the phone I was talking to her on. She called back a few minutes later wondering why we got disconnected. A few minutes after the phone call ended I had no data. I called back to find out what the problem was and they told me she put a note on my file that I requested data to be turned off, when all I asked was if there was a specific app that integrated into the native video calling.

any luck finding a way to use the integrated video calling button the stock dialer?
