[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Swaziboy:
Hi folks

My issue that I cannot seem to resolve is one of CIFS share mounting. I have trawled the XDA forums, google, and many many other android sites with no luck.

Current state

Nexus 4

CyanogenMod 10.1 RC4 (but have been running nightlies and RCs almost since release)

Latest version of CifsManager

Folders created:

/mnt/cifs/*

Where * is various folder names matched to my CIFS shares being served from an OpenMediaVault storage PC.

My understanding is that CM10.1 has CIFS support built into the kernel, as there are no cifs modules in the usual places one would expect to find them.

No matter what I try in CifsManager, the mount fails with:

Mounting the share has failed with an error. mount: Invalid argument

I thought this may be an issue with CifsManager, so I hopped into the shell to see what I could find. I am no *nix guru, but am comfortable (mostly) in the commandline.

I fired up ADB, connected the device and entered an ADB shell with root access via su.

I issued a BUNCH of different mount commands, with no luck, some of which were:

mount -t cifs //192.168.1.3/share1 /mnt/cifs/share1
mount -o username=<username> -t cifs //192.168.1.3/share1 /mnt/cifs/share1
mount -o username=<username>,password=<password> -t cifs //192.168.1.3/share1 /mnt/cifs/share1

I tried variations of these with the options after the type and vice versa, and with one/both of those after the device/mount point pieces.

All consistently gave the same error as CifsManager:

mount: Invalid argument

I even tried using

-t smbfs

and get the following error:

mount: No such device

The only additional note I could find that I thought worth mentioning is this entry in dmesg:

<3>[14314.292444] CIFS VFS: Connecting to DFS root not implemented yet

At this point I am officially out of ideas and operating beyond my capabilities so if you have any suggestions or advice, please let me know what additional information I can provide here.

I should note that I have two Xoom's and an SGS2 all of which mount these shares fine. The Xooms are running EOS4 and the SGS2 was also running CM10.x - interestingly both of these ROMS had cifs modules rather than having them built into the kernel.

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avs333:
/system/xbin/mount (soft-linked to busybox) rather than /system/bin/mount (linked to toolbox) works for me. I'm not sure that it's entirely safe to point the link in "bin" to busybox (which is necessary if you're using CifsManager as it has no option to set a path to "mount"), but everything seems to be alright, except that the busybox'es "mount" refuses to remount root read-write sometimes, and you need to specify a different dir for CifsManager (e.g. /data/cifs instead of /mnt/cifs).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Swaziboy:
[SOLVED]

OK,

so with a bit of luck, I seem to have got to the bottom of this.

Within CifsManager, the following configuration for a share works:

Share Path

<IP address>/<share>

Mount Point

/mnt/cifs/<share>

Username

<username>

Password

Leave blank - if this is populated, it causes the "Invalid argument" error when mounting the CIFS share.

Options

unc=\\\\<IP address>\\<share>,pass=<password>

Now that I have it working, I remember reading on a post long time ago, that if the CIFS module is built into the kernel it required the unc= option to work.

Would it be worth getting in touch with the CifsManager devs and logging this as a bug do you think?

Hi

yes this still works. Please note my original post got screwed up by the forums - it removed some of the \'s. I have fixed this now in the original post, but by explanation there should be double the number of normal \'s in the UNC path (as escape characters I guess) so \ \ \ \ unc \ \ path

I do not use any custom kernel, just what is in the standard nightly CM builds (I also update to most nightlies..)

I hope this is clear

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gergefil:
Hey Swaziboy,

I have one more question:

Did you try to mount cifs share anywhere other than /mnt/cifs/SHARE

I want all applications to see my share, so I try to mount them into /mnt/sdcard/SHARE When I mount it to /mnt/cifs/ everything is perfect. However when I try to mount it into /mnt/sdcard/SHARE, cifs manager says it is mounted, however I can't see it on mount list and, it is not mounted at all.

Do you have any idea/suggestions?

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] souleater11:
hi everyone,

is there a new update of tips or tricks in improving Nexus 4's default camera app photos ?

is there a way a paid camera app to way make the Nexus 4's photo quality much like the Htc one X or the iphone 5 ?

Note: I already know about the nexus 4 modified photo hack in increasing its photo file size.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fernandezhjr:
My wife has a HTC One X and I don't think the difference is that great. I think it is more how the N4 displays pics than how it takes pic. I can send a pic I took with my phone to my wife and it looks better on her phone. When she sends me a pic, it doesn't look the same as it does on her phone. Regardless of which camera was used, pics on her phone look more vibrant, while pics on my phone look a little more washed out.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
That`s why God created devs who create custom kernels and color controll :D
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rarscaryfrosty:
The majority of camera quality depends on the hardware in each phone. Megapixel count is useless these days in phones and point and shoots. What matters is the sensor size/quality, ISO levels, shutter speed, etc. Software can only enhance so much of what the hardware will do the bulk of. Unfortunately, these specs typically aren't readily available on phones, normally only the megapixel count is listed.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johmama:
I found that the way the Nexus displays the pic AS you're taking it is pretty poor quality. Like right after you snap a pic and it shoves that shot aside so you can take another, the quality of that pic seems really poor but when I actually go into Gallery and view the picture, it has crazy-good quality. That threw me off the first few times I took pics with my Nexus. I thought the picture quality was sub-par, because I had taken around a dozen pics at different times before actually viewing them and each time they looked bad. Once I went and viewed them, I was pleasantly surprised at the quality.

I feel like if you need more than 8 megapixels to capture whatever moment you're photographing, then you should be using something more than a cellphone. Most people expect their cellphone to produce profession-grade photographs and I think that's unrealistic. And correct me if I'm wrong, I'm no photographer, but isn't it impossible to even display all of the 8 million pixels taken by the Nexus 4 on the screen, or even a standard 1920x1080 pixel screen? Again, I'm not a professional so I could be wrong, I'm just breaking down the word 'megapixel' and doing the math based on that.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hahuhe:
after updating to 4.4.1 the camera seems better.

i went further by installing nexus 5 camera apk. the nexus 5 camera apk in 4.4.1 is about 1mb larger in size than in nexus 4. i have no idea whats the difference, but i am quiet satisfied now. atleast in daytime.. low light is still a no no. :( i wished they had included IS in nexus 4
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] mky4b11:
so i decided to root my phone today, and flash a custom rom. i am using the t-mobile variant.

i used the all in one toolkit to unlock bootloader, and everything was going good, but i think i might have forgot to install superuser? i am not sure what went wrong. but i was trying to flash android revolution hd, and it was stuck in the bootloop. so i thought i needed to flash the boot.img like i had to in past devices. did that, but still nothing.

i go into CWM and now i can't access the sd card. so i did a wipe and it still won't mount on my computer. did a little reading around, and someone suggested relocking the bootloader, and flashing stock recovery file (i don't think i got the right one), and then unlocked the bootloader and reflash CWM, and that sideloading a rom would work. everytime i try to sideload a rom, i get a device not found error, but fastboot responds to other adb commands. i did make a backup in CWM, but i moved it from the phone to my laptop, but i have no idea how to even use it. adb push to device does nothing. =/

i really really really hope i didn't brick my phone. anyone have some insight? help? i tried looking for a RUU but it seems there isn't one for t-mobile.

so i am able to flash recovery, and get into it, when i try to mount sdcard in the options, it doesn't say anything. stuck in bootloop still. can't sideload. can't push. really really wish it had an external sd card which would make issues like this a bit easier to solve.

[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] TygerByte:
fastboot won't respond to adb commands because it's fastboot not adb. i would use the toolkit and install TWRP recovery and load up TWRP. from there you can adb sideload or do other adb commands once you get it loaded.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] unremarked:
Do not attempt to flash an AT&T RUU to your T-Mobile device. In the best case scenario, it should fail(due to S-ON). I would not recommend fooling around with RUUs on different carrier-branded devices.

As for the OP, I'm not sure what to recommend. Most internal storage-only devices won't mount in USB. Wiping your internal storage was the worst thing that you could have done. I'm not sure why adb sideload won't work if normal adb commands and fastboot commands are being accepted. Have you tried a different USB port? I know it sounds strange, but sometimes that can make a difference.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] orvon.freeman:

appreciate it, xda forums sure has grown since when i was on here with my g2/my4g slide, lots of subforums, and in a haze of having soft bricked my phone, i posted in the wrong section. sorry!

i did what tygerbyte suggested several times with no success. then i decided to reinstall htc drivers, restart the laptop, and use a different usb port like unremarked suggested, i am able to sideload now! flashing my backup i made in CWM right now, hopefully this will give me a working phone again before i try to flash a custom rom again lol.

i have my fingers crossed.

thanks for the suggestions everyone. ill post back in a bit with results.

Isn't it the worst feeling, thinking you have bricked your $600 phone? I soft-bricked my husbands Bionic once, stayed up all night long and finally figured out I had skipped a step.

The BEST feeling, though, is realizing that you can, and did, recover from what appeared to be a catastrophic fail. Congratulations!

Hey guys!

I'm looking for an app to do what titanium backup does (put app + data in a bunch of .tar.gz files) but to also upload them to dropbox or some cloud storage.

I need it to be free because I'm not allowed to do payments through the play store so paying for an app is a no-go for me, even though there are "other methods" it isn't ethical and I don't want to use those apps that way, because I wouldn't like the same thing to be done for the apps I might develop in the future.

Still, I found some that can backup to the cloud but only apps, no data. Is there any which can do so?

Thanks in advance!

TruBackup is undoubtedly the best android mobile backup application, when it comes to backing up all your data in a preferred cloud service provider like Dropbox. Though this app is paid, they are now offering the premium version for free. No doubt, it's an amazing app you can try without any trouble as it is highly user friendly.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidshen84:
Hi,

My HTC DesireZ is flashed with Andromadus Flinny b22, and I added the TURBO BOOST MOD. I do feel the heat when I first start my phone. But I noticed the heat cools down quickly in a few days. :(

The phone becomes so lag, I can't even type...I checked the memory usage, and I found this happens when the swap is almost used up. I google for a while and I found it is general Linux problem that the swap usage is never released. For desktop/server, Linux system may have gigabytes of swap, so they are unlikely to be used up. But on the phone, there are only a few hundreds MB of swap and can be quickly used up.

I know I can use the swapoff command to force release the swap. But it is really inconvenient.

Does anybody have the same issue as I do? How do you recommend to resolve this issue?

Thanks,

David

Make sure you have not set a certain non auto white balance, and make sure you are not applying a filter to all photos (the camera app can apply filters before photos are taken, the button at the right bottom). If they all checked out, then it's probably faulty sensor.

Re: I have solve my BT problem !!

Dear all, previously I upgrade to 2.06 and found BT totally unstable.

After down grade to 2.02 found still the same but better.

Accidentally found out that after a hard reset from 2.02, immediately pairing to BT earpiece, and install BTHTools1100 (don't install other program first or else will not work), it well work properly without any problem at all (since 3 days) and whenever I sw on my BT earpiece, it will show a icon that being connected to BT earpiece (unlike 1.06 that w/o any indication and found not stable). Only one thing that it will not auto turn on to dial screen when tapping the BT earpiece sw.

I hope this will help and pls f/b to me whether it will work on 2.06.
