[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhetoricism:
Well, hang me if I'm wrong, but I haven't been able to find an existing, relevant thread;

I have a 32x24mm class 4 SD card that, obviously, won't fit in my Arc. I'd like to be able to connect and use it on the device nonetheless, so I've hooked up a SD reader with USB, to a female USB/male micro USB cable, which then plugs into my phone's micro USB port. All goes well and the SD reader's light goes on, indicating it is functioning.

But for the life of me, I can't seem to find out how to actually access it from the phone. There's no relevant notification on the task bar, nor is there a directory I can access it through. Every thread I come across about an 'external SD card' invariably ends up being about the micro SD -inside- the phone, so that's no help.

Updated to the latest version earlier today, and have jiggled every cable. Every. Single. Cable.

Is it even possible to use an external SD card reader with the phone? I would be much obliged if someone could tell me what to jiggle.

Im pretty sure you need to install a kernel that has USB OTG supported.

Someone please elaborate lol i could be wrong
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Someguyfromhell:
What ROM/Kernel combination are you using?

And if I am not mistaken, only some file explorer apps support USB OTG. Unfortunately, I cannot remember any at the moment.

I don't have otg usb just jet,bit as i read somewere,doomkernel support otg...
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Someguyfromhell:
Answer my other question aswell, please.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhetoricism:
Yeah, that seems to be it, on further investigation. I assumed the arc supported OTG out of the box, as it were. Most, if not all other phones seem to do, so that's probably it. I'm in the middle of aquiring an appropriate kernel and such, and I'll pop back in once it's done and tell y'all if it works.

Thanks.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Someguyfromhell:
What ROM and kernel are you using currently? We cannot help you if you do not share information with us.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yo-meister:
I did this once, I had all my music on a usb memory stick and plugged in into my phone which then plugged into my car audio.

This was a while ago though but I do remember my phone getting distubingly hot!

I also think i remember reading that prolonged use of this can cause damage, ill have a look now.

It says at the bottom all features will be included in the kernel, I was using GB when I did this, not sure if ICS will work.

Out of curiosity, what you trying to do?

Hi,

Im new to the site and the phone, just got an upgrade on it.

Im on the old Genie contracts so O2 wont allow me to use GPRS, does anyone know if theres a way round this? Also they told me I cant use wap on this phone, is this true?

Thank you :)
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Rudegar:
back in the day many cellphone operators offered wap over gsm

but i think that the operator have to support it just like with wap over grps

do people really use wap with their xda's btw ?

i never use it it's ugly and a horrible std. and when ones device can do normal html then why bother with wap ?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] ukguy:
Obviously Id rather use GPRS but the phone just doesnt give me access to it (O2 have told me they have de-activated from there side, only way to get it is to change my contract which i dont want to do), so I have no alternative but to use WAP unless there is a way round the problem.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Rudegar:
today wap use grps if they deactivated grps then i doubt you can find any way around that

however as i said then wap can also be made to use pure gsm and not use grps

but if the network operator dont support wap over gsm then there is no way around that

so you can look for wap settings for o2 without grps that is if they support that and try those settings
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] tcrichton:
I was on the old Genie contract and you can't use GPRS or MMS (Which uses GPRS) without changing your contract.

You still however have the GSM connection using the telephone number : 915000 and the user and password being o2wap, this is a "Cellular Line" and will only be 9600bps but that is free on the old genie contract and will work for web and wap and email and msn.. its basically a slow net connection that routes through their servers (which seem to sometims compress images horrifically).

I've changed my contract as i wanted MMS and GPRS. If on the o2 Active screen you choose myxda and then connections you can choose GSM, but this sets up two connections one which is a wap number and one that is very slightly different that is a web number, neither of which are 915000 (probably due to when you're roaming) and the web number maybe chargable if they're picky.

If you setup what the XDA calls an ISP connectiong with the wap 915000 it works fine. However the ISP connection seems to be for Web connections and if you try to goto wsp:// in IE it says there's no connection present as i think its set to dial the work connection for wap usage. I've only had my phone for about a month and haven't really had a chance to get any furthur with this.

Good luck.

Hope that all helped.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] cruisin-thru:
I have an O2 payg sim, I can connect to wap over gprs but I dont like wap, I use the gsm line to get full internet access for my 300 minutes free. It is very easy to setup and although it runs at only 9600 I am able to retrieve/send pop3 email and access all web sites. I delete all the autoconfig settings from connections before entering the gsm details.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] mitchellgunn:
I also have the old genie setup, and can both access wap and www etc using the original 915000 dial up free wap no. I am presuming you have the free message and free wap tarrif! If so I can give you the details if you pm me.

However you cant send or recieve mms messages still, you need to do this via the o2 site, when it bloomin works

[Motorola Droid RAZR] untruestory:
Which guide or tookit can I use? There are several in the "sticky roll-up" thread but they all seem to mention ICS and the phone I have has JB on it. I've had a few devices by HTC and Samsung but this is my first Motorola device and it's not mine so I want to be extra careful. Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crugath:
Extremely intermittent and hard to pin point problem I'm having with my I9100 and wifi...

I am using the Chameleon ROM 3.0.2 with Dorimanx 8.16, but this also occurred with Chameleon 3.0.1 and Jeboo 2.1.

This has only happened in the last few weeks, and there have been no changes to the phone or my home network to bring this on, and everything worked absolutely fine before. I decided to spend some time this afternoon trying to sort this out, and I've gotten no where.

On a fresh boot I can connect to wifi fine, and provided the phone stays awake, I can use the internet fine. But when I put my phone down and leave it to go into sleep, often when I wake the device back up, the wifi will be connected, but the signal icons will have turned grey, and nothing will work. Sometimes when this happens the phone will automatically drop and reconnect to the wifi, and others it will remain stuck and I have to reboot the phone. But sometimes this doesn't occur at all, and the phone wakes up and wifi works fine.

I have definitely checked the Advanced Wifi settings and the sleep policy is set to Never.

When this happens, the data connection doesn't take over, it's as if the wifi remains connected but somehow decides to refuse all connections. SMS and phone calls still work fine.

I have done several factory resets, and I am currently running the phone with nothing but the default apps in Chameleon 3.0.2.

I just signed into my Google account, opened Google Play to update things like Hangouts, Maps, Search etc, and I hit Update all, then locked my phone and put it down. When I picked it up again not 3 minutes later, all the updates had failed as the wifi had crashed(?).

I have tried another router, and it still happens. All other devices connected to either router have been fine the entire time (my laptop, desktop PC, Samsung Smart TV, Nook color with CM7 and an Amazon Kindle).

I have seen a couple of other threads about this, but none of them had any answers in, they were just left with people asking about it and not getting anything concrete. Is this going to be some kind of hardware problem and the only fix is a new device?

I'm at my wit's end here, it's driving me up the wall, I'd really appreciate any ideas.

EDIT: Being an eejit, I only just found this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2161978 I can't seem to delete this post, so I'll just leave my apologies here, please can an admin/mod delete this thread? I'll post in the other thread I linked to above.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ir0nLy0n:
I flashed a couple modems a while back to see if I could find the best one. I don't have 4g where I live but this weekend I'm staying in an area where I've gotten 4g before. My wife currently shows as connected to 4g but I can only get 1-2 bars 3g. I flashed a different modem to see if that was the problem and when I rebooted I had no imei. I restored my twrp backup of stock and it booted and connected to the network still just 3g though. I restored a twrp backup of carbon rom and again no imei. I restored my stock backup again then factory reset and clean flashed carbon. I can get 3g again but still no 4g.

Any ideas?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] islandjat:
Are you still in that same area getting no 4g or did you go different places that your wife had 4g and you didn't?

Is anyone getting endless force closes after installing the new Google Play Music? I've tried using two different Touchwiz Roms and even CM 10.1 and all of them seem to have issues running the app. Thoughts?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] khanam:
+1 on that issue. I just uninstalled play music for the time being. It was ridiculous the number of times it fc'd on me
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] enik_fox:
Yea it does it on every device I own x.x
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Sloopdawgg:
so it sounds like its an error with the app? I guess it makes sense because it's such a new service but it's also weird that some people are having no issues at all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tizzmahnizz:
also having force closes

On my note running jedi rom, nexus 4 and my tablet. The radio feature works fine on PC but it won't start on the 4 or my tab. The music app itself closes constantly on my note though. I uninstalled the app and reloaded a previous version so I can atleast still listen to my purchased tunes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mxholden:
I had the same force close problem on my GS3 only fix I found was to unroot. Once I unrooted it worked fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mad96:
It's a very strange problem that alot of folks are having, I did take the update and I've had zero problems although they did change alot in this update. Im running clean rom 4.5 with perseus kernel, no overclock or undervolt, idk if it matters what your running it should be stable either way I use it all the time but still getting used to the new look. .

How many sings do u have stored
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] yeahmann:
I have over 1000. It worked with 400-something.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mxholden:
I have just over 7000 songs. I am on an S3 on T-Mobile. I tried the new Google play music on several roms, included stock rooted and the app was unusable because of the force closes. I reverted back to the old version of Google play music, unrooted, let my music sync, then upgraded to the new version through the play store, and it has been working for 3-4 days without any problems. I rerooted the phone to test and sure enough the force closes came back. I repeated the process stated above and it works perfect again. I am convinced "root" was causing the force closes... At least in my case. Hope this helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cmo220:
I was having the same problem and I just found a way to make it work for me.

1. Turn off phone.

2. Eject SD card

3. Reboot

4. Open Play Music and go through the setup making sure that it doesn't crash

5. Turn phone back off and insert SD card

6. Reboot

For me after those steps it is still working.

Edit: Until I put my music back on my sd card.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Sloopdawgg:
I thought the SD Card was the issue too. I've got a little over 3000 songs and I thought it was the loading process causing the FC's so I had done what you post above on 3 separate roms and all have FC'd. It has even FC'd before even launching the application. I have decided to just wait it out and hope that Google solves this issue soon. I have faith in them to get things fixed pretty soon like they usually do. Thanks for the tips though!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cmo220:
I forgot that I had taken all my music off of my SD card before I did those steps. Once I added it back to my card it started happening again after I refreshed. But it didn't start until near the end of the refresh. It looks like there are certain tracks that it doesn't like, or after a certain amount of music on your sd card it stops working.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] 191:
+1 on this issue, hope they fix it soon, having to use the touchwiz music player and it sucks.

non-rooted, galaxy s II with 4.1.2, about 3000 songs and 64 gb sd card.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cmo220:
This time I'm pretty sure I have the fix. It is definitely working for me. There's a problem with the album art in the mp3's ID3 tags. I'm pretty sure it's only the art from a few of them but good luck finding which ones. If you delete all the album art from all mp3's you should be able to run the app without problems. You'll have to delete all the music from your phone and re copy it. You might have to delete everything you've uploaded to Google then re upload that too, but I'm not sure about the last part. Hope this helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Sloopdawgg:
I was thinking the same problem being with album art but I can install Google Music without ANYTHING on my SD card and external SD card and it will still crash. It's very odd so I guess I'm just going to wait until Google pushes next update that will hopefully fix it. I've seen quite a good amount of people complaining so I'm sure Google will look into it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cmo220:
I saw some people say yesterdays update fixed the problem but I'm not sure since I already wiped album art. If you have uploaded music to Google with album art it doesn't like that could still be causing the problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Sloopdawgg:
Wow. I have not even tried updating for the past few days. I just updated, streamed a few songs, and smoothly went through my library without a single FC. Looks like they have updated and it is working just fine now for me! Thank you very much! haha

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Rockryder:
I have the same problem when I move to the USA. So far I have been able to get SMS/MMS working with 160 characters by installing a custom ROM.

But I haven't been able to get more than "G" data. I'm with T-Mobile.

I spend over a week trying to find a way to get at least 3G speed but no luck.

I kinda gave up cos I find out the Korean network band for 3G/4G are different from the ones used here in the US and since this is an hardware issue it's nearly impossible to resolve it unless the network providers here change their bands.

I was kinda disappointed cos I was in The UK before moving here and I was able to get 3G speed without any problems at all.

Anyway let me know if you are able to resolve this issue l.

Good luck:)

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TechSoft:
So you know im in a wireless family.

I work at T-Mobile Corporate in Redmond, And my brother in New Jersey at verizon.

I personally use an optimus G SPRINT on Verizon Prepaid, Not that I dont like the T-Mobile speed, But lets be honest coverage sucks.

So the 1.5 to 2.5 MBPS nationwide I get on verizon is better. OK Back on point.

So my brother tells me Verizon is actively trying to combat the MIFI flashed to verizon prepaid, On mulitple fronts.

They have contacted ebay, and ebay sellers have been suspended.

And here is the one that sucks for all of us that use verizon prepaid.... They renew and send a new AAA Key every 4 to 7 days.....

And may also resend or renew the A-Key.

What that means for you if you are a verizon prepaid user and have a flashed phone but not the donor...... You sadly are screwed.

But I'm going to give you an easy fix, I have had to do it now twice.

You can also use QPST build 355 works for me, and copy all the data from the gusto to the other device.

Sadly my brother said they are not doing this targeting phone users, Verizon is not stupid they know people flash phones.

But they are targeting JETPACK and MIFI users.

He says in recent weeks they have seen Prepaid accounts that are using over 80GB of data a month on these supposed GUSTO's

So naturally verizon is now cracking down, This is similar to what Sprint and Boost Mobile did with ERROR 16.

Just giving you a heads up, And to flashers who flash the MiFi devices, Verizon is actively searching Craigslist and eBay, One eBay seller is now being sued by verizon and they found him on Craigslist in Salem, Oregon.

Just be careful, I use about 15GB a month on my Optimus and dont have any issues, Beyond having to reflash the info using the guide above once a week or so.

I also have seen less AAA resets when I keep the ROM Stock, And more resets and having to reflash when I got to a custom rom.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the write-up. Customers have been asking about this. So every 1-2 weeks? And nothing the customer can do without a reflash? Which phones do you use for donors?

This really only affects the mifi users. I keep a backup of my aaa and other passwords and they haven't changed in over a year. If for some reason you do have an issue dial *228 and it'll update for you on your evo 4g lte. Also I know I'm the pot calling the kettle black but mifi users use alot more data then any one else. I personally don't use them.

Do I press 1 to program or 2 to update roaming capabilities?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Asadullah:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] susy1990:
OK so which one is a better choice. If I reprogram my phone will it mess up the talk and text in any way?

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] susy1990:
My phone is now roaming. If I take it off from automatic mode I have no service.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Asadullah:
Your not really roaming it's the phone telling you it thinks that it's roaming due to sprints programing the phone. Turn off all roaming notifications in settings and change settings to allow all roaming. If that bothers you alot then flash the 53000 prl. But now you'll have your aaa keys good
