[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Striatum_bdr:
Search on Google, it's a design of jelly bean, decided by Google, to secure internal emmc and to be able to use dynamically all the internal space for data. Internal sdcard is in fact a folder in data folder virtually mounted as a device by android os. On the contrary before that internal sdcard was a separate partition.

That explain why it can't be mounted as usb mass storage, which is only possible with plain partitions.

There are ways to bypass it either with the above mentioned app, either with a tweaked kernel.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uqbar:
While I can understand the limitation for the internal storage, I don't really get the point with the external storage.

The limit just makes things harder: I could eject the uSD and push it into a reader...

By the way, which kernel supports USB storage mode for whatever storage?

I run cm 9 / cm 10.1 .

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glebun:
You can use Easy UMS to mount the external card in mass storage mode
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uqbar:
Yes. But why needing an extra app when it is a built-in feature with other (cheaper) phones and ROM?

Why, if the recovery (PhilZ Touch 3) CAN DO IT?

This was my original question, though.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JTG81:
Was just wondering if anybody else has had any problems with transferring music files from their pc to their note 10.1 via local network. I have transferred a few albums and they seem to be changing to Samsung's .3ga file format even though they were originally .mp3 or .aac in windows media.

Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] impactor:
Since those scripts (can) move all the apps to the sd card, does that cause faster battery drain due to more often read/write to sd card rather than internal memory?

This would make Link2SD more battery-friendly as with it you can leave more often accessed apps in the internal memory.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sashank:
That would be correct.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ahsaniqbalkmc:
I have been flashing custom roms and kernels of all sorts for quite some time to my xperia arc but now I have run into a very strange problem. I made a fresh install of windows 7 on my pc and so I had to reinstall flashtool, android sdk (for fastboot mainly) and all the drivers. After I installed all the drivers and software (as I had previously done), I wanted to try the x-gamer v1.8 rom. So I flashed the doomkernel GB relv22. For this kernel I wanted to flash the baseband 36. But when I tried to flash (using flashtool 0.9.10.0) I got a strange error:

10/032/2013 03:32:31 - INFO - Phone ready for flashmode operations.

I thought may be the bootloader has somehow go locked. So I went for the official sony unlock bootloader website. After following the entire procedure, I got message from the fastboot:

Unlocking failed: The phone is already unlocked.

Then I tried emma. But when I connect my phone to emma in flashmode, it says: Error: The phone is locked.

I don't understand this. What can be the problem. Are the drivers corrupt or there is something wrong with my phone?

help please:

Is the LT15 file in your devices folder in Flashtool look in Windows/Flashtool/Devices this is where information about your phone is installed flashtool is telling you its not there you need to check and reinstall if not.:fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
Lets start again...

...try an older flashtool and report back.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nosxman:
i also had this error with the latest version of flash tools 0.9.10.1, u use 0.9.10.0

use an old version will solve this error

i have located the link for the missing file github.com/Androxyde/Flashtool/blob/master/devicesConfig/U20/loader_unlocked.sin

but when i copied them to the appropriate folder, flashing halted at 80%
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vovanische:
In older versions of FleshTool also not have this file, check the version of 9 and 8
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
But we know the older versions work better with GB kernels.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vovanische:
flash kernel no problems just in the new version because the kernel is not sewn with flashbootmod, but the flash is basebend, ie problems with flashmod
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ahsaniqbalkmc:
Problem solved with flashtool 0.6.8.0

So I had an older version of flashtool lying in my hard disk. I uninstalled the latest version and reinstalled the version 0.6.8.0. And boom... it worked like a charm.

So it proves that there is some problem with the latest version of the flashtools. I hope the makers of flashtool will have a look at this thread and correct the error...

By the way, I am still wondering why is emma not working with my phone. Why does it show that the phone is locked.:)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vovanische:
Thanks, this version works.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alejandrissimo:
is not a bug, just a missing file, download this loader.sin, rename to loader_unlocked.sin and put it on the proper folder.

[Touch Pro2 CDMA] plasco:
Hi everyone, it think now someone could help me

After my HTC TP2 verizon, they give me a sprint one. I've tried to flash hspl but it's impossible, tried flash stock rom, the process stopped at 1% and told me INVALID VENDER ID. I can put it in bootloader and it's shows RHOD400, 32M SS-BC SPL-0.63.0000.

when i boot it it stops on a black screen where it's written touch pro 2 test only not for sale.

How can i get it running? Please help me
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] arrrghhh:
Sounds like you got some developer model, perhaps the bootloader is different enough so HSPL will not work...

Why would Verizon give you a Sprint branded TP2...? That makes no sense whatsoever.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] plasco:
I've taken that with a friend, not verizon give it to me. So how can i try to flash hspl? please help me
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] arrrghhh:
Re-read my last post. It sounds like you got some special dev/test model, where the bootloader is different enough causing HSPL to fail.

I am not skilled enough to determine "why", all I can do is speculate off of the output you provided.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] wizardknight:
You won't be able to use a sprint device on Verizon service without some hacking too.

You will not be able to get the HSPL to work on this phone because it looks to see what phone it is before it unlocks it. With a develppment model there is no way to know what the id's being used are without hacking the phone.

The only way is if you could get the devs to edit the unlocker for you. Good luck with that. They don't even answer their help desk requests for this app at this point. It is abandon-ware as far as I can tell.

Just pick up a replacement off ebay for like $50, or use this one for parts and replace the system board from one with a busted screen.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] plasco:
What do you mean by development model, and where can i find the developper s site?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] wizardknight:
A development phone is one that is provided to a company before the official release of a phone for the purpose of debugging, and software development. It is usually labeled not for resale. These phones frequently are non-standard. You will need to contact HTC to find out what developer it was assigned to before you would be able to find out what the developer's site would be.

Best advice, just get another phone. You will not get this one to work unless you are a software developer and reverse engineer.

[Sailfish General] shmerl:
Why not. It can be ported there, since Mer and Nemo already were. But it doesn't mean that it'll work there smoothly, since N900 has quite a limited RAM. See https://identi.ca/conversation/97151426#notice-98031241
[Sailfish General] XenGi:
Yes it is possible. Mer is already running on it so you just need the Sailfish UI. But it won't run smooth. It will be nearly unusable. So why should you really invest time to port it?

It would've been cool if it would run. I;ve tried running android on my n900 back in the day, but that was never smooth. I don't except jolla will either

N900 nitdroid-jolla

The N900 was a device i will never ever forget. My first step into Linux systems. for the record, I was able to install and fully use Nitdroid except for receiving and making calls. Back then also, developers on various android forums were promising a complete version. it even built an auto installer for android GB installation. unfortunately due to nokia/android restrictions, it did not reach final stages..

I did not check how jolla looks,.but i am sure it can be done. not a perfect working UI but perhaps like nitdroid.

[Sailfish General] mudnightoil:
Even if you could get the drivers working (quite doubtful) and put one of the newer Android Kernels on it, performance would be disastrous. The Jolla (on hardware ~4x as powerful) is anything but a fast, smooth phone with Sailfish on board. The N900 would barely function, IMO.

Total waste of time.

Hi Falks,

I was owning a n900, and now ordered a new one. I have looked back in Maemo , nothing really changed til left, just got some pain recently with closed doors on huawei and apple. And really want a physical keyboard and total freedom , and out of the box coming with terminal....

Do we have any alternative these days the last Linux phone which had keyboard was n900 (n950 prototypes also but discontinued). I can't beleive there were no devices made for geeks. And yeas more I use touch screen in last days more I miss the keyboard. So any devices newer ARM anfra more ram and physical keyboard??? Do we have like this, and device should come with only flasher bios/bootloader included , not with any chain, I am wondering if maemo as OS would continue that would be nice, but there are rly small people working things there, more or less DYI everything. I assume development for mobile devices are now much more easier SDK + IDE is basic. With proper OS libraries almost everything easy to port, except gui, but there we need strong libraries and guidences how to use them, or ultimately has a fallback library to the original source system UI with virtualization... There wasn't really easy to dev for eg maemo as ansi C was the main, then ok Pyton, and maybe they got a good C++ compiler, but all of above relies on SDK and OS libreries/refrences....

So any n900 like mobile these days, and I am asking for real items not for failed kickstarter stuff:)

Many users ask me about why the Razr HD wont get LTE 4G in Mexico even flashing the modem and fsg and theres the first things that u need...

1. A data plan.

2. A v6 micro SIM

3. Go to Telcel and ask them to activate the 4g service on your telephone line.

4. If youre already flashed a jb rom be sure to flash the modem and fsg from telcel rom.

If u dont have one of this reqs ur not gonna have 4g!

Greetings! For some time, I've been wanting to setup a VPN server at home so I can "dial" in from Wi-Fi hotspots out in town and secure my traffic.

My first thought was to build a VM on my desktop and leave it running 24/7.

One of idea i though would be small notebook that running windows and installing VPN server in it such as Sony Vaio VGN-P11Z/R
[General Questions and Answers] cmd_wh0ami:
I turned a rooted Android phone into a VPN server by using the Linux Deploy app and UNIX tools "busy box app" then running CentOS on Linux Deploy. I installed SoftEther VPN Server on CentOS through SSH on the phone.

I wrote about it in a forum. If you google "Turn a flashed to verizon phone into vpn server" it will come up in Aspkin forum and you can see me work through it.

This way is 100% free and SoftEther will tunnel straight through a firewall using port 443 unlike any paid app so you can leave the phone hidden anywhere connected to WiFi and as long as you use SoftEther Client and the DNS host name to connect to the server. It wont work if you use a openVPN or L2TP/IPsec client without opening ports on the router of the wifi connection, or the server IP address (which would be a local ip if connected to wifi hidden somewhere).

I have a galaxy player 4.2 and i wanted to know if i can expand the memory of it.

Because i have a 16 Go SD card and the internal memory have 1,81Go free and the external 600Mo ( of 4.6Go).

So it don't use my SD card.

do you know if i can do something for the player recognize the SD as external memory or something like that?

Thank you so much in advance for your answer :)

- External with 4,6 Go

- Micro SD card 16 Go.

When i'm on setting > storage , i can see internal memory and external. so i've only 6.6Go.

My micro SD is not reconized as internal or external.

So i want to know if i can get it reconize as internal or external,because for installing big games ( most wanted etc...) i need a lot of space,and don't have enought space in the player...only in the card

hope you will understand me,i'm french and do my best for you ^^
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] alljokingaside:
I know that internal/external swaps exist, either via hack or via app (google search). I'm not sure though how well it'll work for your device since I'm not too familiar with the 4.2. One program I know that lets you put apps on the actual SD card for use is Gemini App Manager. This is assuming your SD card is mounted.

Your SD card wouldn't be recognized as external or internal, but only as SD card (or something like that)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] mimi1305:
on my ace,when i put a sd card, it's recognize as external memory but not on my player because when you have those player,it have external memory without sd...
