You did a really good job setting up the poll so that it would give an unbiased result, but I think that it is only fair to let us know how difficult it is going to be to keep supporting USB Mass Storage....I worry that its not 100% straightforward because if it were super easy, would you need a poll?...and maybe there are other features that would be more important "time wasters".
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] championswimmer:
basically the thing is Google doesn't like UMS, as a result CM and Sony too follow suit. But there is something we must look at. On 2011 devices the sdcard is not internal and some people might really want UMS

but then again UMS causes Sdcard faults, and you have to unmount card. Aaaaand i am lookin for a way to keep both options that the user is given choice from when connecting the phone. and i have not been able to succesfully reproduce that yet. if that works out, it'll be the best for us and the users ;)

Yes there are others factors taking up my time, including my exams that are going to end day after tomorrow :p and also a 4.2 bringup is on the cards, but not before releasing a couple of more AOKP M1- Rx builds.

4.1 is far from complete as you all know.

Also happy to tell you that Sony likes my work on AOKP and to help me further, helped me with a shiny new Xperia V, but of course that doesn't solve the problem of not having a 2011 Xperia for now.

This vote is an indicator of general public opinion. It is not the final deciding factor though. For 2012 models, which have internal sdcard, it is almost certain that there would only be MTP
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PhantomPhoenix:
At work I can only use UMS because I'm not an admin and I can't install phone drivers to access MTP mode, so please keep UMS...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] BombayBoy:
Congratulations!!!!!!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] letama:
I voted UMS if you can keep both and let the user decide which is best for him.

On top of what you said, UMS is good for few other things:

- MTP can be very buggy, phone side or pc side.

- I saw MTP hiding files, especially if you play with adb to put file on storage.

- If you can export full disk and not only internal storage partition, you can repartition from PC :)

- Regular PC disk tools compatibility, like disk usage, ... Not so many like mtp.

And few pro also regarding MTP only:

- You can use ext4 to get rid of file size limit and still be able to read files from windows.

- You can use a shared partition for data/storage.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] c1ph4:
Please keep both.

Anything that says "will be difficult for Linux" doesn't sound like a good option to me...

The little droid shouldn't forget its roots.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Akhil:
+1

If we can have UMS as an option like the app SD mounter then it will be a great add on for us. Even though MTP is slow but it is reliable but sometimes when we need some fast data transfer then the UMS comes into play.

So I think we should have both the options.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] championswimmer:
ok i think i have found a method

MTP shall be default, but I shall write a "KXP app" or something like that which can enable UMS.

you CANNOT have UMS and MTP on the same boot. you'll have to reboot in between to change in between the modes. but anyways I don't think anyone really needs UMS and MTP simultaneously :p

basically even right now anyone can try this

if you are on latest AOKP, UMS is disabled and MTP is used

just go to android terminal and type the following code

su
setprop persist.sys.usb.config=mass_storage
reboot

reboot and connect to PC ;)

was already working on a "KXP app" to hande OTA and changelogs :p
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] r0bot:
It's not so bad. You just have to do some configurations to your GNU/Linux box. This is a good guide:

Connect your Android Ice Cream Sandwich Phone to Ubuntu for File Access

If you don't use Ubuntu there should be other distro guides, just look at your distro's wiki/manual. There's also scripts and other applications that's aid you, like KDE's MTP KIO slave for KDE applications to read/write to MTP devices. I'm sure there's something for GNOME's Nautilus also.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
That app posted here on the 2012 Xperia Devices, SD Card Mounter or something along that mounts the device in mass storage, but, I have no idea how, I can still acess my files from my phone with it. I'm not sure what happens there ,but...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] UchihaDareNial:
Yes

And why would UMS be removed?Let it be native as possible :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ganeshbiyer:
MTP is good. But till the time Linux starts supporting MTP, we should continue with UMS.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] olokos:
Ums because it is faster, anyway who would like to play music from phone when it is connected to pc and u can play songs from the phone on your pc speakers? My friend has a samsung galaxy s II and hes having big problems with mtp, he can see files but he cant copy any to his phone...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
I like to listen to music from my phone, because: A) Acid mod rules, B) My PC speakers are too bad to be classified as "crap". They are worse than that, C) Privacy: My headphones don't connect to the speakers properly.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] -PiLoT-:
bad blocks and corruption is due to the flash memorys volatility. it could die even without ums, and ums only causes coruption and the like when peple yank out usb cords like monkeys. even then modern OSs compensate
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] championswimmer:
ok then this is how it will go

MTP shall be default enabled. If you want you can go into a "KXP app" and there will be a option to enable UMS, and then you reboot your device, and then enjoy UMS forever (even after subsequent reboots it wont be back to MTP).

Will start work on APP tomorrow. Might take a "slight" bit of time as I am learning java these days and I cannot churn out java code at Chuck Norris speed :p

I prefer TWRP because of the way CWM backs up. It backs up using blobs so you always have to have those blobs on your phone, taking up space.

TWRP backs up the 'old' way and has the option to compress backups(not sure if cwm has this)

Hi All,

Can any1 help me wid my cell issue, my Galaxy R getting switch off after heating sumtimes, even i reinstall 2.3.5 OS on it but then too it dint resolved. May i knw wht will b the reason fot that n wht will be cost for repairing ???
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mj.vikram:

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] xlm13x:
heating is normal issue, sometimes it goes upto 50 C with me but turning off of phone when its heat up is not a commonly faced issue with SGR.

try changing to stock ICS or use CM10 if still problem is there then it seems to be h/w related problem. if u are having warranty then SSC will repair it for free otherwise they will charge.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] sainath.raparti:
heating issue..

may i knw wht h/w problem might b there and what is the cost of that.

IS there any jelly beam or ICS for galay r. as i think its related to h/w issue....
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] xlm13x:
about the HW issues no one can tell you the problem without inspecting the device. there could be any problem which can only be diagnosed by inspecting the device. and about the charges if ur phone is in under warranty then SSC (Samsung Service Center) will repair it for free however problem it is. but if ur phone is out of warranty then they will charge according to faulty parts which are to be replaced or repaired.

but before visiting a SSC, flashing stock ICS rom is recommended, first flash stock ics and check that its a software issue or not. if after flashing stock ics still problem is there then go ahead and visit SSC.

Is anyone else having the issue where the SD Card randomly unmounts itself and then remounts? I have already wiped and reformatted the card with the Note2 but the issue is still present. any solutions or answers?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] OwenW71:
I have the Tmobile version, but I have the same issue. I even did a full format of the card on my pc, but it made no difference. The card sort of works, but sometimes instead of the 'preparing sd card' I get the 'blank or unrecognized file system', and then I have to wait for the phone to go to sleep. It will usually wake up and recognize the card then, but all links to files on the card are broken. FYI, my card is a SanDisk 32GB Class 4. I tried an older 8GB card and did not have the issue, but then again, my 32GB card worked for a month with no issues. Very perplexed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] flaring afro:
I have a Sandisk Ultra 32GB card. I only have music on it which I've only tested out a couple times, but never had this issue pop up at any point. Perhaps it is the format of the card? I do not remember reformatting mine before putting stuff on it. If you can, try testing another card or putting yours in another device to see if it's the card itself.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chuynh1109:
I had a 32GB Class 6 Sandisk Ultra, which was also used and worked perfectly in my GS3.

I went to my verizon store had my phone replaced.. threw the SD card back in, and it still had the issue. Put a normal 16 GB SD card in it, haven't had the issue yet. So I guess somewhere in the process of switching between my GS3 and the Note2 the card somehow got corrupted or broke??

Looks like I'll be buying a 64GB class 10 card soon lol

As far as updating your PRL, you'll need to flash a Sense ROM and update from there. Just make a Nandroid of your current ROM, flash to a Sense ROM (a rooted stock ROM like Captain Throwback's 5.07 works fine) and update your PRL. Once you're done you can restore your backup.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DaemonAshra:
no sense is telling a big long story. I woke up this morning, put my phone in my pocket, went out to my car to plug it into aux, and when i tried to turn the volume up, THERE WAS NO VOLUME BUTTON!!!

Gone. Forever, probably. I'm talking with a Verizon tech rep over the phone and they said this might not be covered under Defect and might have to be replaced through Asurion. I call bullsh*t on that. I'm going to try and find where that button is and take the phone into a Verizon store to prove that this wasn't from dropping it or anything.

Watch out for your volume buttons, folks. they're pesky little things....

UPDATE: Okay... so it just pops back in. solid hold and no issues, but now i'm a little concerned... I've never heard of anyone else having that same issue, but if it happens again, does anyone know of a good route to go for getting a replacement.

Did you check if it would be safe to super glue it in?

I thought about that and I don't think the Gore would hold with the constant rocking if the switch. I also don't think it would hurt it. The switch is held in place by two tiny prongs on with side that both look perfectly fine. It looks like the switch might have been pulled out by a stray thread from my pillow (I use my phone as an alarm and just lay it next to my head).

My volume button also came off. I'm still not positive how it happened but I think it was when I was removing the case to put in the sd card. This was the third day I had the phone so I went back to Verizon and talked to them. They said they don't have parts but offered to replace the phone. They were out of stock on the one I had but said they would call or email when more came in. That night I found the cat playing with the button on the floor of my office and stuck it back in. I have had no issues with it since even though I chance cases on a regular basis depending on need or whim. Verizon did call several days later and offer to do the trade which I told them I didn't need any more.

I think you have your info slightly mixed up. HTC have signed a 10 year licencing contract with apple. This agreement licences certain apple patients to be used in HTC devices. It has nothing to do HTC working for apple. It is basically a pre-emp solution to avoid the type of litigation samsung/motorolla are undergoing.

Exactly! Also if the op has not noticed or know anything about HTC's finances, they are not in the best standing right now in the stock market or as a company as a whole. They need to expand across the board including stopping this stupid "Exclusive" device/carrier crap and letting all carriers sell their flagship phones. Know how many more sales HTC would be making if all carriers sold their new HTC DNA device? A hell of a lot more. My friend that works at a flagship Verizon store says they can't keep the DNA on the shelves it sells so damn fast! iPhone thought they were smart with only selling thier phone to ATT for awhile.
