[HTC Droid DNA] dochogan:
I'm about to buy a new phone to replace my aging and decrepit A885 OG Droid. 3 devices currently have my attention: Note II, Droid Razr MAXX HD, the Motorola DNA, all on VZW.

There's one thing I have been unable to find about these devices, and that's how the SD card is handled by the OS. I've learned, from the Asus tablet I have, that virtually mounted SD is a HORRIBLE idea, and want to make sure my new phone has directly mounted SD (so utils like App2Sd function properly, and system storage uses all available internal storage).

TL;DR:

Does the DNA mount the external SD as a virtual or directly as a physical storage device?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zealotic:
Hi guys.

So I've been using Instant upload for a long time now and I like the option to have extra copies of my images stored in the cloud in case something happens to my phone or something like that. Everything works great except one thing.

From time to time I get new folders in gallery, albums of pictures that are already in the main "Instant Upload" album are showing up alone. Sorted in the Y/M/D format (usually). That wasn't a big deal, I downloaded Perfect Tool for Picasa and dealt with it by deleting extra albums, and only leaving album "Instant Upload" undeleted. And for a few days everything is good again. And a few weeks back problems started, by problems I mean something that Google changed. New captured pictures are uploaded but put into the separate folders and again, sorted by date. That just looks ugly in the Gallery.

So my question is next.

Is it possible to keep the option for Instant Upload but make it not visible in the Gallery ? I'd really like that.

If there's the need to use a different Pictures Viewer, let it be.

Please, someone answer. :)

Thank you for reading.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] c0mrade2:
I think you have to uncheck the synchronization with Instant Upload and Google Photos in accounts' settings, then clear gallery's cache if needed.

But won't that disable uploading photos to the cloud ?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hassaan.W:
A popular function of the donate version of Titanium Backup is making a flash able zip to restore apps via recovery. I will be covering the steps to manage this successfully.

1.Open main menu of Titanium Backup and go to Special Features. There will be an option create update.zip. (This will only backup the apk of titanium Backup) Name it as TitaniumBackup xxxxxx and create zip.

2.Now open the batch section of Titanium Backup and locate the `Create update.zip from apps+data'. Proceed with the making of the zip.

3.If you have factory reseted or changed rom' then finish the setup of ROM and reboot into recovery. First flash the (TitaniumBackup xxxxxx) zip and reboot again.

4. Open titanium backup and grant supersu or superuser permissions. Reboot back into recovery.

5.Flash update.zip and let the process finish. It will reboot automatically and proceed to restore data. After the finish of this process reboot one last time if it asks you to.

Hi guys,

my display is damaged and I cannot see anything. I need your help, please. So I'd like to know how I

- make a backup

- flash an "update.zip"

The last thing I did with the zte blade is to upgrade to TPT2 und CM7.2. So I'm not sure which version of CWM is on the device.

Thank you for your help!

[Blade General] Faiz Malkani:
First of all why would you wanna flash an update.zip on a broken phone? :what:

Second, you should be able to backup everything with adb pull /data/media/ to

get your internal storage and adb pull /data/ to get the data partition.

Alternatively, use this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=36499906

Just hope USB debugging was on

With flashing an update.zip I can delete my private data, because I want to sell the phone. Or is there another way to reset the phone?

Use the TPT for wipe your data, no need to interact with the phone, fort the backup, ask someone with your recovery to say the steps

I couldn't find my device so I found the closest to it.

My question is what is the difference?

I'm looking for a phone with a wider and taller body that is within my free to $100 price range.

I had cancer within the last two years and had my right eye removed, along with my upper pallet and right sinus.

I email an communication a lot via my phone and Nexus 10.

My left eye is poor vision so I find my self bring ring the phone to my face to text.

Any recommendations? My credit won't let me switch from Sprint unless I get a prepaid from T mobile or Boost.
[LG Optimus G (International)] xboxfanj:
Man that sounds awful. Glad you're okay now though. Anyway, these two phones are not even close despite the name. The G is quad core ARM A15 1.5GHz. S is 600MHz single core a8. We have 4x the ram, an hd screen, newer os, and the G is better in every way. The s was made to be low end and the g is high end and a couple years newer. If both are in your price range, pick the G.
[LG Optimus G (International)] s4sutler100:
Ok but is it wider, taller or clearer.
[LG Optimus G (International)] chadouming:
Pretty much everything at the same time. It's 4.7" vs 3.2". It's a newer screen technology. The only "Advantage" the Optimus G has is it's 14g lighter. However, i prefer a phone a bit heavier so the Optimus G is almost perfect for me.
[LG Optimus G (International)] xboxfanj:
Fixed that for ya.
[LG Optimus G (International)] phoenix_rizzen:
The SoC in the Optimus G is a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro (with 4x Krait CPUs and Adreno 320 GPU). The Krait CPU is better than an ARM Cortex-A9 but not quite as fast as a Cortex-A15. Better power efficiency, though, as each individual core can be run at different frequencies, and unused cores can be powered off completely (current A15-based SoCs run every core at the same frequency).

Qualcomm doesn't use ARM's CPU designs, they build their own CPUs compatible with the ARM architecture.

Think of it like ARM=Intel and Qualcomm=AMD, to simplify things. :)

Sent through the magic of an LG Optimus G (E971) running RootBox 4.2.2.

True, I oversimplified it, but it's closer to the a15 than a9. The A15 has a larger l2 cache than we do though.

I was using this one from Amiblindyet from our section, as it has the popup Quick Reply that I like. Only thing is I found a bug last week where it won't send back to back MMSs. The 2nd would fail for some reason. I tested 2 other MMS.apks and they worked just fine.

Then I saw someone say they used this one from jase33 in the Gnex section (I presume this is the one you were talking about OP that didn't work). It works fine but I found some wierd things. First, don't flash it. Just rename your current MMS.apk to MMS.bak, then unzip the download and pull the MMS.apk and push it to /system/app, set permissions (might need to reboot, might not). Saves you time and if you don't like it, all you have to do is delete that one and rename yours back to normal.

The weird thing I found was that there is a CM and AOKP version. I am on RootBox. The AOKP version didn't work too well for me, but I pushed CM one and it works like a charm. No FCs, everything sends and I have the Quick Reply. Maybe try the other one that you found didn't work.

Re: Internal SD Card not mounting?

Well I'm on the slimbean rom 4.2.2 build 2.5

Current, when I go to storage, it says that I have only 1.97gb of internal storage when I should really have 11gb.

I'm running stweaks with the ajk "everything works" kernel

In storage, there is a category called "USB STORAGE" under it, it says Mount SD Card but it's greyed out. And then it says "insert an SD card for mounting" meaning that my phone doesn't even think I have an internal SD card.

In CWM, of I try to Mount SD card, of doesn't let me and if I retry to format SD card, it doesn't let me
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] M8tor:
This happened to me once. I removed the card and put in my PC then copied all the data off as a backup. I reformatted the card and then when I put it back into my phone it mounted great. I then went back and moved all the data back via USB.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
USB storage would be the internal memory, or internal sd card if you prefer, and SD card would be the external sd card which you must insert first before you can mount. If you will look again, you will probably see that it says device memory is 1.97 gb total space with usually 1.something gb still available. I don't know your rom and kernel real well, but maybe device memory is called internal storage? USB storage should say something like 11.36 gb total space.

So if the USB storage is not being recognized then the problem could be either hardware or firmware related. So did you flash back to stock, or reflash your rom or another rom? That would be the first step of troubleshooting.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] yj121:
you formatted your external sd card to do this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] yj121:
Researching...

so i did some more looking around on the forums today and found out that there is a way to get back your internal sd card by running these commands

i opened up terminal emulator and ran these commands that i saw on another forum:

su

echo mkdir /storage/sdcard0 > /data/local/userinit.sh

chmod 700 /data/local/userinit.sh

reboot

apparently, after the reboot, your phone is supposed to have mounted the internal sd card manually.

however after trying this method twice and rebooting, i still have the same error and my sd card has yet to be mounted
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] yj121:
nope, all it says is that internal storage total space = 1.97gb

SD card stoage space (external sd card) = 3.68gb (this is true becasue i have a 4gb external sd card)

theres nothing that says 11.36gb free total space
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
I got distracted when I was posting that and hit send before I was finished. I went back a few minutes later to finish it. The whole point was to say that the problem is either hardware or firmware related, and to troubleshoot it you need to flash back to stock, or re-flash your rom or another rom.

Also, assuming the mount commands you used in terminal are good working commands, it would point to possible hardware failure.

SOLVED! :D

First off, i want to thank all of you guys for helping me out :) i couldnt have done it without your support and suggestions.

Heres how i solved the internal sd card problem:

Well, i tried to use odin but odin didnt work and then i used the cyanogenmod 9.1 stable build but that didnt fix it either

Heres what i did: Downloaded the Cyanogenmod 10.1 Nightly build for 3/29/13.

after flashing it in cwm (i put it onto my External sd card), i rebooted system, it loaded up and whatnot

and then it told me that my internal sd card was either corrupted or unsupported.

it also gave me the option to format it in order to fix any corrupted files.

so i formatted it and voila! its fixed :D
