[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Grant H:
Storage and reading of the external SD card for pictures works great for me.

One thing to note if you are having problems with the gallery, is to reformat the SDCard in the phone.

I was getting laggy gallery images, and a high battery drain from the Gallery.

Reformatting the SD card cleared up all my problems!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] prking07:
When you open gallery, hit menu and content to display. Make sure all is selected.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] ogxku5h:
Is there anyway to save all downloaded pictures/screenshots to the SD card? I wiped my phone the other day and my downloaded pictures got deleted because it was in Internal Storage :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] GeorgeP:
You might have a corrupt photo.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] prking07:
If you use stock browser anything downloaded will go to external sd. Camera also asks you to save pictures on external sd when inserted, if not it can be changed in camera settings.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] ogxku5h:
If you save a picture that was texted to me, it saves internally rather than on the SD card. Is there is anyway to fix this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] fukenbiker:
thanks

I stuck a different 32 gb class 10 microSD chip in the external memory slot and gallery started working finally.

So I assume the chip I've always used needs formatting sounds like.

Thank you for the feedback.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] bacuy82:
I have a similar issue as OP. I have a 64gb Sandisk SDXC, and it came straight over from the S3 and the S4 gallery didn't see my pix from the card either nor the music player see all my music. I have to format the card in the phone then copy everything over from pc to phone via usb for the gallery and music player to see what's on my ext card. Then the phone restarted by itself, and it says the sd card is damaged, then the OTA update came just in time, updated, amd magically the Sd card was fixed, now it only see select videos and images and still none of my music. If it's in the inter sd then it's fine.

Do you guys think my sd card is shot?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] sulpher:
edit - nm
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] fukenbiker:
sd card

It sure sounds like it. My chip still works, all I did was use the computer to format it.

The only way to tell is get another chip and put some files on it for a test.

It ticks me off they don't even populate the external SD slot with a cheap chip like they used to. ATT phones used to come with a one or two gigabyte capacity bottom dollar chip for free but alas they got even more greedy!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] mcmb03:
I used foldermount and moved the DCIM folder to the external sd, so all the setting have it looking at the mounted folder on the internal card, even the burst shots are stored right onto the external. the longer I've had foldermount, the happier i am with it. endless possibilities!

I followed a youtube video on how to install CM using goomanager. Once I got to the step in goomanager to flash CM and gapps I hit the flash button. I booted into TWRP and I then installed both zips from there. I realize this was probably not the correct way to do it, but now its just stuck in the CM start up screen. Did I brick my phone or is there something I can do to factory reset it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] topherk:
Before we go too far down the rabbit hole, try the following:

Reboot into Recovery (power off, then power on while holding volume up and home button)

In TWRP, fix permissions (under advanced, if I recall correctly).

In TWRP Wipe Menu, clear cache, dalvik cache, and data.

Reboot into system.

I believe that this might fix our bootloop issues.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] phatiboombatty:
Thank you!!

Phone is working again! Thank you so much!

Only other issue is that when it trys to download something from Play Store it says "such and such could not be downloaded due to an error. (Error retrieving information from server. {RPC: S-5:AEC-0}"
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] topherk:
That happens to me when changing the DPI on my phone (other things can cause it, too). Here's the fix that works for me:

Go into Settings -> Apps, then go to the "All" tab.

Find Google Play Services, Clear Data.

Find Google Play Store, Clear Data.

Find Google Services Framework, Clear Data.

Reboot Phone

When you open up the play store again, it should ask for you to accept terms and conditions (or something similar) again. Just hit OK and it should work again!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sevenFIGHTseven:
Does anyone have the capabilities of porting the new alpha AOSPA 3.50 version over to the d2spr? Jdeloach has a port of it for version 3.15 but hasn't been around the forums in sometime and evo4gnoob made an update of his port on 4/30 for us but maybe someone can talk to jdeloach and see about taking over the thread and port. I wish I had the knowledge and capabilities but I don't. I just love this rom and have used it as a daily for about 2-3 months and hope that it gets continued.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Is it available for one of the other variants?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
If the sources are available it would be better to do an unofficial source build vs porting. Source builds tend to be more stable and easier to fix bugs in since you don't have 2 roms where bugs could be coming from.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
I'd do that, but my computer is ancient. I've done source builds for the evo shift, but that took forever. Not going there again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Lol yeah for it to be manageable you need at least 3-4gb RAM and a decent processor. You could get away with a good dual core but a quad would be better. If my Internet wasn't 3g only I'd do it but it takes forever to pull sources at 1-2.5 mbps and I don't have much time to work on it except on the weekends. But I'm sure someone will probably pick it up.

We don't even have 3.50 for the note II or I'd say you could use it to port but we're only on 3.15 as well. I'm not even sure 3.50 has the source out yet, I think it's only available for the nexus 4 and 7 currently.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Notorious:
3.50 is out only for nexus devices and JD ports from Notta on the verizon s3 so you have to wait for Notta to update unless you build from source
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Lol I have the opposite problem. Internet speeds are great ($18/mo for 25 down and 7 up). But my computer is just bad. It originally came with XP installed if that tells you anything. It also has barely more RAM than my S3.

I'm hoping to get it upgraded at the end of the year and pick up some SSDs to speed up source builds, and a lot more RAM. Sigh :rolleyes:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
My computer is a beast but where I live the only broadband is mobile or satellite. Only other choice is dialup :sly: hopefully soon they will finish bringing fios and cable broadband out my direction, it stops about 10 or 15 miles to the west of my house, kind of sucks when I need big files.

No LTE either? But that sucks. Me, I just needed a better computer and life will be good.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
My county is withholding broadcast permits from sprint. LTE is up but they can't turn it on yet. No other carriers even have coverage at my house. I live in the country in central Florida. Sprint has great coverage it would be even better if my county commissioners would stop being dipsh*ts and release the permits. They're claiming the LTE spectrum interferes with local station OTA broadcasting which is BS cuz it uses the same frequency as 3g, 1900mhz. Buncha morons, which is why my county is as broke as MC Hammer.

[NFC Hacking] xLinear:
Hey guys, I've recently lost my bus pass :( And just been given a payment slip to pay for a journey for £2.70, It'll cost me twice that to get to the bus depot! I'm pretty sure I've lost it somwhere in my house, my house is fairly small, could get from one side to another in about 4 seconds, and I was wondering if there was any way I'd be able to scan and try to find my bus pass? Any comments/help will be helpful!

Thanks!
[NFC Hacking] shinjielric:
Seeing as how NFC has a very limited range, you wouldn't be able to scan to find it. Your phone would have to be on top of the card for anything.
[NFC Hacking] xLinear:
Okay thanks, that's a shame, looks like I'm going to turn the house upside down to find it
[NFC Hacking] shinjielric:
Maybe it fell under the couch. Its like another dimension full of stuff.
[NFC Hacking] MiniEinstein:
This time the technology is not that good :P

I mean there is no way you can find it with a phone... the range of NFC is very limited so the only way is if a paper is between the phone and NFC card, it may work other than that, not much use.

I guess you need to get to the old fashioned search.

Hey there!

after an unsuccessful try to unlock my bootloader (11w42) my phone is still working, but radio function is disabled.

I can only enter my PIN number...

Is there any way to get it back working again? I already tried repairing with SUS and flashing the firmware with flashtool, but still there is no service.

Some wrote to get back radio function with msm7227_setool2, but i guess thats only for already unlocked bootloaders, right?

Thank you so much for your help!

[Networking] spinner2005:
Hi,

I'm trying to use my XDA2 to provide Internet Access (GPRS) via BT to my portable PC.

I'm using my PCs built-in Bluetooth-module (running on WIDCOMM 1.4.1 Build 6)

I have no problem synchronizing my XDA2 with Outlook using BT (since this is a connection initiated by the XDA2) but if I "browse" the services on my XDA2 from my PC I only get OBEX Object Push.

I know from previous occations that you should be able to see Serial Ports etc.

My XDA2 is running on the following version:

R: 1.06.01

G: 1337.16

D: 1.60.00WWE

And Pocket Bluetooth Tools

Can anyone tell me what to look for?

Thanx in advance

Frank.
[Networking] Leo:
You can try using the XDA II in the wireless modem mode... See your program files for this application. Works for me.
[Networking] WeatherB:
There's your problem... You need to uninstall Pocket Bluetooth Tools; it removes your SSA service (which you need for BT Wireless Modem)
[Networking] Leo:
Hmm I also do use the Bluetooth Tools so I doubt you need to remove this very handy app. ?
[Networking] spinner2005:
Hi.

Well, I had to hard-reset my PDA in order to remove Pocket Bluetooth Tools (PBT), so I don't know if it was the hard-reset or PBT that did the works, but now I get the SSA profile and can connect to it without any problems.

Unfortunatly I lost the option to sync my PDA via Bluetooth, since Active Sync cant find any ports. So I'll give PBT another try, otherwise I'll just use the FIR-port to sync.

Thank you for your help. I'll let you know how things work out, when I re-install PBT.

Best regard,

Frank.
[Networking] WeatherB:
What ROM you running? With the 1.72, you have the options of enablign outgoing and incoming COM ports in the settings menu (Start --> Settings --> Bluetooth Settings)

Before installing Bluetooth Tools, I've got: Serial, SSA, Object Push, and one more.

After installing: I've only got Serial and the other one that I cannot remember.

--------------------------

For me, it was the Bluetooth Tools that was holding me back. I've emailed the author to see whether he can add the SSA port.
[Networking] spinner2005:
Update:

Well, first of all, I was thrilled to find out that I no longer have to start the Wireless Modem-app to use the GPRS-connection on my laptop. Apperantly a modem-emulator runs in the background, so my XDA2 stays fully functional while its forwarding GPRS traffic. (Though I think it's strange that theres no indication what-so-ever that the GPRS is in use - normally you get a different icon at the antenna)

Anyways, I installed the latest version af Pocket Bluetooth Tools (PBT). And the SSA-profile was still there and working. Then I paired my laptop using the ActiveSync profile in PBT - and wupti: Both the GPRS "dial-through"/SSA and ActiveSync is working - at the same time.

Now, all thats left is to pair it with my BT GPS receiver. Can't do it at moment since it's at home - I don't expect any problems with it though. Usually works without problems.

Thank you again for your input.

Frank.
[Networking] WeatherB:
hmm... that's awesome. I'll install Pocket Bluetooth again and see whether it works.

Can you answer these:

1. Which ROM you using (ie. O2 1.60)

2. Which version of Pocket Bluetooth Tools? 1.1.0.0?

Thanks... That's awesome news though. I love how it turns the Bluetooth on and off automatically.
[Networking] spinner2005:
WeatherB:

I'm using ROM 1.60.00WWE (QTek) and the latest version of PBT (1.1.0.0)

It works like a dream :)
[Networking] WeatherB:
I guess it's possible that Pocket Bluetooth is conflicting with 1.72
[Networking] spinner2005:
I know for a fact, that ver. 1.1.0.0 is conflicting with 1.72 - my friend tried to use this.

He then installed a previous version of PBT, but still can't see the SSA-profile, but the ActiveSync profile now works.

He will try to uninstall PBT and see if the SSA appears.
[Networking] WeatherB:
oh okay... I might have to downgrade to 1.60...

What's the main difference between 1.60 and 1.72?
[Networking] spinner2005:
WeatherB:

I just talked to my friend again. Seems I misunderstood him the first time. The reason he uses an older version of PBT is that with the new version his headset-profile is not supported.

Apparantly the biggest advantage of the 1.70 is the improved battery lifetime. He says he only charges his battery twice as often now. I'm sure there are other improvements - I just can't find 'em in the Upgrade 'n Modifying-forum right now.
[Networking] WeatherB:
I did the downgrade to 1.60 last night and I noticed something weird about PBT... After bonding with a device, you need to leave that last screen (the one that PBT created) unchecked and all will work fine.

Not sure if I tried this workaround with 1.72; but non-the-less, seems to be working. I did however lose the Audio Gateway after installing PBT. But no biggie, don't want to listen use my PDA as an audio gateway for my PC.
[Networking] spinner2005:
WeatherB:

Hmm. I checked the Active Sync-box, otherwise I couldn't connect via Active Sync over BT, since it wasn't in the menu.

But I don't remember if I paired it from the PDA or the PC. But everything works - also the GPS - so I guess it's simply a question on fidling with it.
[Networking] WeatherB:
Exactly... I'll play with it and see how to get the most out of it without messing it up.
