I downloaded it and installed it. Didn't find it real helpful. I still had to go through everything to get mms and email setup. Oh well. Thanks for the tip though.

I've had it up and running for the past 24 hours and while I think the OS works a bit better I can't see a huge improvement. The phone is more responsive though.

Any notes on changes would be helpful. I did notice that the BT connects had a strenght signal now, which I find really helpful.

Question: Was this upgrade supposed to do anything to the extended ROM? Because the version is the same as before.

Thanks,

Tom
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] twn2:
I just comprehended your post. Sorry about repeating the question when you already answered. How, or why, should I upgrade the extended ROM? I take it the upgrade I just did did not put the upgraded files in the extended ROM?

Tom
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] ChrisSpera:
The extended ROM, which is about 16MB in size holds the custom software that comes on the device. You don't have to upgrade it at all. You can leave it be if you're happy with the software that's there.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] twn2:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't the upgrade that was just performed by you and I install the new files into the ext rom automatically? Or, do I have to do it manually....copy the cabs from the laptop to the ext rom?

I've just been reading about cooking an ext rom and I'm going to give it a shot.

Tom
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] ChrisSpera:
that depends on the files the update contained. Look for *.nbf files in the temp folder you launched the update from. What was in there? MS.nbf is the OS, radio.nbf is the phone and nk.nbf is the extended ROM.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] twn2:
I think I screwed something up. radio.nbf and nk.nbf were in the temp file but MS.nbf was not. Was it in yours? I believe I pulled the same file as you did from the link provided but there's no mention of it in there.

I also took a look at my extrom folder and none of the files that were listed in the link are in there nor loaded. I guess I'm getting things confused. Did you copy all the cabs into the extrom folder then run BAUpgradeut.exe? I just ran BAUpgradeUT.exe and thought they'd copy them over. I think I was wrong.

[Motorola Droid 3] katiejo518:
Okay so I'm completely stumped and, to be honest, I'm a noob so bear with me please.

I have unlocked my Motorola droid 3 with the psouza method. I have done every single step, the root, the flash, the fastboot... I bought the unlock code and entered it, replaced the build.prop file with the one included in the FastBoot file to the system folder of the droid. I even tried the buiild.prop file from here (v3) but it didn't work and now I'm totally baffled. I have connectivity to wifi, I have GSM network selected, an ATT pre-paid card in it that is current and working in my crappy ATT phone, but I still show no networks and no bars. PLEASE HELP! I'm totally stumped and would appreciate any advice I can get.

Sorry for being new to this! Thank you anyone who can help!

Hello there. You can use Link2SD, after you root your phone. Rooting will not modify your phone; rather, it helps you have better control over how your device works.

Take a look at this thread on rooting your SP.

Once you've rooted, you can partition the sdcard using Minitool Partition Wizard on Windows after which you can link all of the apps you want moved to the sdacard.

Best of luck.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zengraviz:

bro i am rooted can you be more specific how to use create partition.thnks :D
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zengraviz:
ok just noticed that this phone actually have built in sdcard..

when i see the file explorer, there's sdcard0 (the internal built-in sd) and sdcard1 (the external sdcard)

i guess it's already partitioned and linked by default thus increasing its internal memory by using internal sdcard...

so i found this guide : http://www.droidiser.com/2012/11/swap-internal-sdcard-external-mod-android.html

saying it can swap the phone to use external sdcard instead of internal... hmmm intersting

should i do this? please need expert here !

For moving game data to ext sd. Card I have found folder mount a better solution.

You need root fir this to work search xda for thread so is available via play store, free version only allows 3 games, pro version via in app purchase
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pavapizza:
folder mount

for me i use foldermount. its a bit like link2sd but this only moves the files inside the android/data and android/obb folder. but this one is better because you dont have to create another partition on your SD card. im not against using script to swap the internal and external but if something were to happen, its gonna be messy. so folder mount is the best solution for me right now.

using foldermount i can install wicked games like wildblood, avenger initiative, minion rush, pacific rim, royal revolt, csr racing and still have 3.4GB free on my internal.

I think we really need to use foldermount for now. Ive tried messing around with vold.fstab and failed. First pic is my tipo with 32gb internal. 2nd pic is sp. Now, how to make that microsd become /sdcard? Or rather /storage/sdcard0? Sure foldermount works, but manually moving everything after every install? Its better if we can find a permanent solution like this vold.fstab mod.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] GuestD0577:
I've been searching XDA and Google for months now and I haven't found anyone else with this precise issue. I'm very tech savvy, but this is just beyond me! What say you? Will you help me in my quest to diagnose my device and possibly find a cure?

Listed below is what occurs when the USB Cable is connected, either via PC or the Wall.

While USB Cable is disconnected:

Pressing or holding any of the buttons, together or individually, does absolutely nothing. (But the battery can't be dead. I've had the thing on charge all night!)

When USB Cable is connected:

http://youtu.be/J8FJSo_S7cQ

Without pressing anything, the device powers on into download mode and continues to reboot itself every few minutes.

Holding the power button (or all buttons together) reboots it back into download mode to repeat what I just described above.

Pressing any/all buttons at this point does nothing.

When I disconnect the USB Cable from the device while in Download Mode, the device shuts off after about 20 seconds.

I have seen this on occasion, but nothing different happens:

(I'm aware this means forced download mode.)

I'm able to use Odin completely normally and flash anything successfully as well. Yet it just reboots back into download mode. And if I leave it alone while connected to my PC with Odin up, this is what it looks like:

I've "successfully" installed Stock ROM, Kernel and PIT files. Nothing changes! I've also tried one-click unsoftbricker, heimdal, calling it names, begging it to work. Am I crazy or...is this thing done for?

You need to flash a ROM that has boot loaders in it...

When you use the unbrickable resurector, it flashes a boot loader that always boots to download mode. From download mode, you can flash a FULL rom, that will replace the boot loader. Then it will boot normally.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] GuestD0577:

This is a Russian ROM but it should have boot loaders.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Jakob13:
Hey all, I tried looking this up already but I couldn't find what I wanted. I've nearly used up all of my phone's 9 or so gigabytes, and now I'd like to know the best way to get more room. I've deleted a decent amount of bloatware, but my misc. files still hovers at about 6.4. I've also thought of getting an sd card, but I looked it up and it seems like many people have problems with those on this phone. I'm not really sure what the best way to go about this is, so I'd appreciate any help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] droidgenius:
Flash the Google edition ROM. Or you can get a micro SD card. Maybe use Google drive?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jova33:
If you're in your return window, return it and get the 32GB version.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Spike96:
Buying an external SD card is definitely the answer.

I bought a 64GB SD from Sandisk, I was having problems just like everyone else. The card would unexpectedly unmount every few minutes, so I couldn't listen to music without being interrupted. However, Sandisk is fully aware of the problems its cards are having with Samsung phones. I contacted them, they sent me a new card with an "updated firmware". I have had the card for nearly a month now, and haven't had any issues with it. They have solved the problem.

So if you buy a card that has come right out of the factory, you, too, should have zero issues. If you buy one that is a little old, you can contact them and they'll send you a new one that WILL work.

You have very few options without a SD card. 9 GB of storage is far too little, and cloud storage is just messy. You shouldn't have to rely on mobile networks to have access to your data.

Hit thanks if I helped you, and good luck if you decide to buy an SD card.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Jakob13:
I wish I would've waited until they released the 32 gb version, but I'm well past the return date. I've deleted most bloatware I don't want, but I still would like to keep some of it, so I can't flash the google edition rom. I'd rather just delete it myself, but I'm using root explorer and I heard that causes problems. I'll probably just get an sd card and update my phone. I don't know how seeing as I've rooted it, but I can worry about that later!

I still don't get how there can be so much bloatware. I know there's the OS, but that can't be more than 4. Most of the bloat apps aren't even that big. Anyways, thanks for the help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] najaboy:
Your misc files should not change if you delete bloat. If it did decrease in size, that would be a major cause for concern, as those don't represent the bloat you deleted. Debloating really isn't going to gain you any usable space because the apps that you are deleting reside on the system partition. Bloated or not, that partition is going to remain the exact same size regardless. Deleting apps from it does not make that space available to user apps or storage- it remains available only to /system.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Spike96:
No, you won't have to update your phone. Your phone wasn't causing the problem. When I said they "updated the firmware" I was talking about the SD card. If you get a Sandisk card straight out of the factory now, it should work with your S4 regardless of your root status or your custom rom.

So to be perfectly clear, Samsung didn't update its firmware, Sandisk did.

If your SD card doesn't work, simply contact Sandisk and they'll send you one that works. Simple as that. You WILL NOT have to change ANYTHING with your phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Jakob13:
I was under the impression that doing that does free up space. An sd card really is my salvation here.

I know little about how moving apps to sd cards works, but I was saying that because I rooted before the new update so I'll need to update to move apps unless apps2sd works.

najaboy, I have a question because you seem to be knowledgeable about this. How is it that just system memory takes up 6.38 GB? Is it because of Samsung exclusive features like touchwiz and all those airgimmicks?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Spike96:
AH! Ok I see what your saying. I don't think it is necessary to lose root to move apps to your SD, though. I've seen a lot of positive comments about Foldermount. Foldermount should free up space in your internal storage no problem. Check it out.

I'm also pretty confident that soon the rom devs will incorporate the update that Verizon put out into their own roms.

And about your question to najaboy, the 6.38 GB is everything that makes your phone's software. Yes, air gestures, smart stay, all of that. I do find it a little misleading Samsung advertises a 16GB phone, but I like keeping my data on a card anyway.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] najaboy:
Root is a prerequisite.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Robrecht:
Hey guys,

Sorry but I'm posting this question twice - there's already a version in the Networking forum, but I feel I have a better chance of meeting another Qtek 9090-owner with the same problem here. Moderators, feel free to remove one copy if this bothers you.

I have a Qtek 9090 and I recently activated GPRS on my Mobistar account - went to one of their shops and had one of those freckle-faced amateur kids set it up for me and everything - then I had to manually enter the settings on my Qtek, no problem so far, but whenever I try to connect, it says 'connecting' for a while then 'No modem at above number'.

I tried a variety of combinations with the settings 'provided' by Mobistar (they're not exactly fine examples of customer communications), but nothing worked.

Here are my settings:

Modem: Cellular line (GPRS) - nothing wrong here, I presume;

Access point name: I tried 'internet.be', 'web.pro.be' and 'mworld.be', but nothing worked.

User name and Password: Both 'mobistar'

IP adress: Server-assigned

Software compression: Tried checked and unchecked.

IP header compression: Tried checked and unchecked.

Server adress: DNS 212.065.063.010, Alt DNS 212.065.063.145

I also tried every combination of authentication (PAP/CHAP) and class (8/10) settings. The thing Mobistar activated for me was their Orange World program, or something, where I have to pay a fixed sum of 6 euros a month, and a little extra for actual GPRS traffic.

I'm going crazy about this, I already went back to their shop twice and each time another smelly, greasy teenager fumbled with my Qtek for a while, could to NOTHING MORE than entering these same settings AGAIN (as if I was too stupid to do that) and tell me it SHOULD work. Sorry for the shouting... this is getting under my skin... I'm actually a nice person you know...

I hate these kids, they do fine 90% of the time because 90% of the customers are even dumber... so they think they know it all. I think the only thing they know about cellphones is where to download the coolest ringtones or something.

Ok, I'm done now, it's off my chest. Sorry.

Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mjz2207:
I have been reading some very interesting posts about adding wireless charging capabilities to a Samsung Galaxy Nexus. Although it seems like every mod requires a touchstone coil, which also requires a larger back cover. Browsing ebay I ran across a "patch" of sorts that goes between the case and the battery to add the inductive charging. I was wondering before I buy it and rip apart my beloved phone. Could I just solder the "patch" to the pogo pins on the side of the phone and would it charge? Or am I missing a component? Thanks in advance for any help!

On Ebay it is called "Qi Wireless Charger Charging Pad + Receiver Kit for Samsung Galaxy S4 S IV i9500"

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mjz2207:
Well I was thinking that if you take the phone apart there is a spot where the pogo plugs connect to the circuit board. I thought I could just solder a thin gage wire to the leads, but does that patch have the correct circuits to supply 5v with the right amount of amps?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
Check the specs of the induction charger.

Anyway for the touchstone mod, others used a copper tape instead of a wire.
