Dude, you are SOOOOOO busted. :eek:

Did you really think that nobody would ever question your post to thanks statistics (very unusual ratio for someone who isn't a developer)?

Did you really think that nobody would notice

following almost every post you have ever made?

Do you really think that the 'Thanks' function exists for you to create two additional user accounts just so that you can thank yourself for each one of you, frankly pointless, posts and comments?

Reported and I truly hope that the powers-that-be simply delete all three of your accounts as punishment. :rolleyes:

WTF thanks arsehead for the derail at post 3 that's gotta be some kind of a record. Maybe he needs an account for each of his split personalities lol

I've attached screen shots of my Rom details

With regards to which site its the 4od site and its every flash I try to watch. I just get black screen then connection timed out.

Adobe flash came with the Rom, but if I go to the web to install it says its not compatible with my device.

Flash version is 11.1

Side load flash, there's a thread on xda somewhere with a download link, if the browser works with flash then it should be fine, saying that if it's not broke don't fix it, I've been using an old version of flash for months

"Do, or do not. There is no 'try'."

[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
Sorry, I lost your reply in there. As Jugg1es said, try side-loading it. There is a permanent thread on XDA [App]Adobe flash player which is well worth bookmarking. I have tested the 4OD site on my current phone, which is running the latest version of Flash from that thread.

As an aside, it is better to tell people what ROM and kernel you are running rather than those screen-shots.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slthree:
Coming from HTC I am new to the virtual memory card concept. I have managed to move things over to the external card when I needed to. The "My files" app is really easy to navigate (Thanks Samsung).

But, stuff I download is still going straight to the virtual memory card instead of the external card, even after I set it up for external card. I use utorrent and download episodes of Last Resort and Revolution (can't get my family on board so I watch while I'm out). I have the settings for the shows to drop onto a "shows" folder under "video" on my external card.

Yet, it seems the phone made its own "shows" folder on the virtual memeory card and drops the downloads there. I end up having to move them back to the external card where I wanted them in the first place.

2 Questions:

Why is this happening?

Is there a comprehensive write up on how the virtual memory card works?

Thanks

So, for some reason, my Bluetooth doesn't function properly as it should, which is weird, since my phone is still on stock, and the only modifications I've made are unlocking the bootloader and rooting the device. I also installed Power Toggles, but I don't think that's the issue at hand.

Pretty much, whenever I turn the bluetooth on, it tries for a while to turn it on, then gives up and won't let me turn it on. At that point, I have to restart the phone, and when it reboots back up, the bluetooth is on without me having to start it up. Then it works properly, but if I wish to use the bluetooth again the next day, I have to repeat the process of rebooting the device. Any ideas?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrockie:
I had this issue when I Downloaded a FM radio app from the Play store to see if it would work. I just deleted the app. Went into safe mode then into normal mode and it fixed it.

Don't know what you case can be. But you can try going into safe mode and back to normal and see if there are any different results.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solutions Etcetera:
I had this same problem after installing Torque, and using it with default settings that auto-enabled/disabled bluetooth. After turning all that crap off it is back to normal.

I use bluetooth for audio playback and an hf/A2DP headset dialing via Motospeak, as well as Torque with a bluetooth odb2 interface, and it all works perfectly since disabling Torque's auto-bluetooth settings. My only issue is that it takes Motospeak a bit long to restore audio playback after a hf call command.

I would look for an app that you have that is the controlling bluetooth on/off.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kcls:
This is my first phone that uses MTP. My last phone had an SD Card, and used USB Mass Storage, so I'm not sure if this is normal behavior for MTP.

I plug the phone in, and the only way the computer recognizes it as a storage device is to have USB Debugging off, and the phone set to "Connected as a Media Device (MTP)". If I set it to connect as a camera, it only sees the DCIM and pictures folder, and it only works if USB Debugging is turned ON. So that's the first weird thing.

All I really have installed driver-wise is the stock android drivers that are included in the SDK, installed using the device manager method. I am rooted stock, running Franco.Kernel.

I am connecting to the computer using the cable that came with the phone, although I have tried 4 other cables and they all return the same result.

What happens is, I plug in the phone, and it pops up in My Computer as "Nexus 4, Portable Media Player". So I click on that, then click on Internal Storage, the only available option. It takes about 5 seconds to load up all the files.

I am trying to back up all the files on my External Storage before I flash a ROM. I know it's not necessary, but better safe then sorry. So I highlight all the files, and drag them into a directory on my computer. And a dialogue pops up that says "Estimating time required to transfer files" or something like that. And it just sits there. I let it sit for about 15 minutes, and after it did nothing for that time, I hit cancel. To get it to fully cancel, however, I had to disconnect the phone and reconnect it.

So now I'm trying to do everything 1 by 1. Transfer 1 folder at a time. The smaller folders work fine, although they're still incredibly slow. Over a minute for a folder with 2 Megabytes of data in it? That can't be right. But then I hit the bigger folders, such as the "Android Folder" where all the big games are stored. So I drag that folder into the directory on my computer, and it spends about 25-30 minutes "Estimating time required to transfer files". Then it starts the transfer. It says it will be about 2-3 hours. There's around 3 GB of data in the folder, according to right clicking on it and clicking properties, so I guess that's a semi-reasonable amount of time, but still pretty slow compared to my old phone. But then, after about 20 minutes of copying data, it just stops. It looks like it has finished, but upon going through the directory on my computer, and comparing it to the one on the phone, it has only transferred about half of the files. So I try again, repeating the above process. And the same exact thing happens. It always stops at ~1 GB out of the 2.7 it should be copying over.

What gives? This is literally the most frustrating thing ever right now. I just want to flash PA so badly but I can't get my stuff to copy over!

Please help! Thanks so much!

The good news, that's normal.

The bad news, that's normal.

Try pulling your sdcard via ADB, it's more reliable.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kcls:
That's so bad if that's normal. Why Google switched to MTP is beyond me. Another weird issue is sometimes it can take forever for the filesystem to update on my computer. I can put an apk file that I downloaded to my phone on the root of the external storage. Then, when I plug it in to my computer to transfer it off, it won't be there. I reboot, it still isn't there. After searching and searching, I went back, unplugged the phone, plugged it back in for the 20th time, and it randomly shows up. So frustrating.

Anyway... what's the command for adb pulling that? I know the external storage is called something like /emulated/0 or something. So would it be adb pull /emulated/0 C:\Users\blahblahblah?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Mines doesn't take 5 seconds to load up. Very speedy for me on transferring files back to back. On Windows 7 SP1.

is the reason why they used MTP. I personally prefer MTP even though some people always encounter problems with it and I have none. It's very handy on devices with a SDCard as well as Internal Storage, rather than having two of them pop up on "My Computer" it is merged into one and you can select which one you want to go into. Sometimes people are confused which one is which. Not to mention if you have an app that relies on data on the "sdcard" (internal storage) and it is currently plugged into the computer. It won't be able to read that data because it is in USB mass storage mode.

Certainly your situation is not normal.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @rbiter:
That is not the reason. The reason is Google is slyly forcing us into a thin client platform ala chrome book and nexus. If Google doesn't start releasing nexus with at the very minimum larger storage, I.e. minimum 32gb on nexus, (would rather have SD slot) they will probably lose me as a client altogether. Yes I will probably still use Google maps at the very minimum but everything else I am in no way attached. The cloud is a poor replacement for local storage, and yes I too think off site storage will be a major factor in the future but give us larger storage options during this transitional phase. The cloud is slow, data is expensive, data is not widely available like oxygen is, I don't want to stream music, much less have any possibility of commercials and ads during my musical nirvana and transcoding my FLACs/wav's into 320 kbps mp3 is just piss poor bull**** and a very good reason why people should NOT willingly sign up for cloud services. Handing over ownership of your data and getting a lesser quality experience in return is just asinine and stupid. And Google drive is a poor excuse of cloud management and how come Google isn't forcing more developers to implement Drive and/or cloud services into android ecosystem, much less Google themselves just screams how bad Google wants to shove an apple up your anus.

I voided my warranty.

Let's not turn this into an argument over why mtp sucks. I'd just really like to know how to fix my problem.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
that's all conspiracy about taking off MTP or SDCARDS in favor of their cloud service but i do agree with you, the 8GB/16GB combo was kind of silly, they should of done 16GB/32GB to the very least, as a person who lives in NYC and takes the subway. I won't always have service because underground we don't get any (we're starting too.. but it depends on which stations you're at) so the cloud isn't a viable option for me and it shouldn't be for most people anyway because of the data caps that carriers impose on them.

16GB is enough for me, but still would of been nice for a 32GB version. I hoped google learned from 8GB/16GB format for the N7 but guess not. should of been 16GB/32GB for N4 and I'd be pretty upset if they discontinued 8GB in favor for a 16GB/32GB as i paid for a 32GB at ~$349.

of course, google isnt telling everybody to get a nexus device. there are other alternatives out there such as galaxy s, note, etc. I personally like nexus devices for community support when it comes to custom roms and kernels.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KyraOfFire:
Oh crap.... can you kindly explain why it can't be done with the Nexus 4?

I have had USB MassStorage in some ICS/JB custom ROM for other phones.

Edit: I am guessing because the sd storage is actually an emulated folder?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CMNein:
adb pull /sdcard/ *should* work, although I haven't done it on the N4 yet so can't confirm if the /0/ throws a wrench in the works. It will still likely be painfully slow, but it won't just stop altogether for no reason.

I'm also a big fan of adb backup/restore, saves a lot of trouble when restoring your junk, including the sdcard. To back up your apps and the sdcard it would be:

adb backup -all -nosystem -shared -apk

adb restore backup.ab

A restore of this is all, or nothing, it will restore your apps, some settings, and the sdcard after you've flashed.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
It's emulated because in Android 4.2.X it supports multi user on tablets.

It has USB Mass Storage for other phones because that's the way the manufacturer developed the device. It supports USB Mass Storage. Phones/tablets by Google use MTP.

Google for the topic of discussion on Galaxy Nexus, I don't have the time to find it on Google. But I'm sure with some searching with google somewhere between the lines "USB mass storage on galaxy nexus possible?" would lead you into the right direction. Best thing I can say is to just believe me because if it was possible, I'm sure that it would of been done on the Galaxy Nexus already which is a one-year old device.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] negroplasty:
It seems to work okay for me, or at least gives me comparable speeds to mass storage methods used on other devices. The one thing I really dislike about MTP is the default Windows file transfer window doesn't tell you the speed of the transfer and forces me to find it manually in Task/Performance monitor.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
I find MTP confusing since I cannot find a way to "safely eject" my N4 in Windows 7/8. All of my past devices were actually mounted so I knew they were disconnected. Also MTP works with debug off/on(stock OTA and Faux kernel).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
You don't have to safety eject it, just unplug it lol. I personally found "unmounting/mounting" and safety ejecting to be annoying to be honest.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
Won't you corrupt the storage if it's not safely removed? Kinda like when you re-inject a device windows will ask if you want to scan it for errors.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumist:
One of the advantages of MTP is there is no reason or need to "eject" your phone. It's always safe to unplug at any time, even if you were in the middle of a data transfer. (Of course, the files won't finish copying, but your phone will NOT be left in a corrupted state.)

---------- Post added at 11:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:26 PM ----------

The reason is that the SD card is not its own separate partition. It's merged with the data partition on the phone. When you use USB mass storage, the partition must be unmounted on the phone so that the computer can "take control" of the partition. On most phones, it isn't a big problem to unmount the SD card since the phone doesn't really need to access it most of the time. However, on the Nexus 4, if you unmounted the partition you would also be unmounting the data partition, which is absolutely required to be mounted for Android to work. The other problem is that the partition is ext3 ext4 which Windows is unable to read/write to.

In theory, Google could implement some sort of emulated USB mass storage support that fakes a FAT32 partition, but it would be very complicated to implement properly and technically MTP is a better solution anyway.

I don't really know why people are hating on MTP -- I guess it's because they're unfamiliar with it. It's honestly better than USB mass storage.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Nope. MTP is a different platform. It only asks to scan on USB mass storage (flash drives, etc)

drumist pretty much said what I was going to say.

Previously on USB mass storage, if you were on mass storage mode on your phone and wanted to access the gallery on your phone, it wouldn't be able to access it because storage is being used USB. It can't be used bothwards whereas MTP can. But people have problems with MTP with having it slow etc etc, I don't have any so I can't say much.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacklebott:
Pretty sure the partition's EXT4, not EXT3. Though that doesn't really change anything
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddog800:
People are hating on it because it seems to be very buggy and inconsistent for a lot of us, despite it working so awesomely for others. I'm having identical problems with MTP as the OP is having and I'm running CM 10.1.2 on a Skyrocket. These issues are extremely frustrating since I also need to dump my SD card and am have very little luck doing so with MTP. I understand that MTP has a lot of great qualities and I certainly think the pros are worth pursuing, but when it won't operate consistently across the board for everyone then it makes little to no sense for devs to completely remove the other, working option in favor of only the new technology.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jiia:
I simply cannot transfer large amount of small files through MTP. Some weeks ago I tried to copy 1000 photos from my phone but every time the transfer progress bar just froze and after some hours I just closed it forcibly. Then I went ahead to ADB pull the same photos to my computer and the transfer was done in 5-10 minutes.

On an MTP device you cannot open the files directy and edit them in-place. Very often I've wanted to edit the ID3 tag of a bunch of MP3 files on my phone via PC. To do that with MTP you have to copy all of the files to your PC, edit them and then move them back to your phone.

That's just a couple of reasons why people hate MTP. It's completely retarded to use such a thing in a modern device. It's almost as fun to use as USB 1.0 was.
