[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Pda23:
I've found the USB Mass Storage handy for specific items and recently I was trying to recover some files (Via Android Restore program) that only worked if there was a USB Storage option, MTP wouldn't work. I have tried some apps on the app store, but none of them work to activate USB Storage. Was hoping their was a work around
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] stevejau:
Yep, that is all it is..and as i said it works fine with Astro File manager..I have not tried it with Root Explorer or any other file manager as yet, but Astro does the job well.

Their website does say it is compatible with Galaxy note 2 amongst others and I can vouch that it works great with Galaxy Note 8 and Note 3.

Cheers

USB

Maybe I'm missing something here.

My USB 128GB stick works fine with my OTG cable.

I've just ordered a micro USB reader for micro SD cards from meenova.

Will let you know how it works when it arrives.

We're talking about connecting an android device using mass storage and not MTP protocol. USB otg has nothing to do with this.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] intelliriffer:
Not sure how connecting a pendrive (otg or not, and btw it is very likely that the the microusb port on the pen-drive is also otg ) does not violate the above the same. When the note 8 acting as a Usb mass Storage Media is the main concern.

now back to topic,

Like it or not of companies have decided to do away with UMS. It basically boils down to architecture issues with their future plans.

UMS Gives exclusive access to the HOST (your computer or what ever you connect your device as Media to) and thus android/phone has to unmount the volume to prevent any locks or other potential issues (which are many including security).

Also the Host (your computer) has to be able to read/write the Files System format that you phone/ sd card is formatted to. (it's a dependency, because if the tablet where to use/ invent some new native file system, a lot of existing hosts might not be able to read them at all.

There are other reasons too like singular large ultra fast storage blocks to act as file systems as well RAM which can break if requiring unmounting,

Now MTP is not god send either and has it's own set of issues (read below)

however it's evolving.

with MTP most of the control is with your tablet or phone. and data is not written to the media directly by the host in for form for Blocks, but rather as files etc and thus the slowness as speed also depends a lot on your device not to mention it's biggest drawback that it's sequential/synchronous.

Personally, If i need to do large transfers etc, I just remove my microsd card in put that it into a tiny card reader, not ideal but works.

It is very unlikely that we are going to be getting UMS officially from those who are done with the standard on similar devices, . Maybe some better alternative in future than MTP, but who knows.

Here is little extract from the wiki : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_Transfer_Protocol

for who care about the how's and the why's
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] p107r0:
As a workaround, for PC users at least, there is a Total Commander plugin which displays the MTP folders in normal file panel. It does not provide all the UMS features, like say binary directory sync (lack of which is one of my biggest griefs with MTP), but it's useful for simple file operations (browsing, copying etc.)

If anyone's interested I'll try to find the link/instructions.

And I can tell you, my brother is SERIOUSLY pissed. He's all ready to go smack around a few people at Google for this (once he's done smacking a LOT of people at Microsoft, now that his new machine is saddled with MSWin8).

In truth, it seems very arrogant on Google's part to presume that no one would want/need to use USB storage mode. My brother would like to edit files on the Note8 while it's attached to teh computer (using LibreOffice on the computer to edit it), and he feels it's absolutely preposterous that he has to copy the file down, edit it, then copy it back up. Google, 1985 wants it's broken methodology back. :mad:

DriveDroid on the play store at least.

I haven't yet had a reason to check if the Note will work, but does work on a Galaxy3 with Cyanogenmod. It goes and mangles the drivers to support the depreciated mass-storage proto. Expect it to be hit-and-miss when changing roms, requires root, requires kernel to no have completely disabled the old drivers. I now carry a recovery cdrom on my phone, it's worked most of the time.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] conquesoextra:
Hi guys,

First of all sorry for my English, I know isn't good.

Short story: I came from a Nexus 4 that i sold because money problems... :(

The thing is that I always have PA official in my nexus and I really miss halo, right now I'm using xHaloFloatingWindow but isn't the same...

I was searching in the forum but I can't find one PA rom that doesn't have many bugs, I just found based in android 4.3 and I think that's the problem (again, sorry for my English).

So, my question is: ¿there is any PA rom official based on android 4.1.2 stable or something liked?

I just can't find it.

In advance, many thanks

On the Verizon LG G2, there is a root status check and another in download mode if I restore to a stock image, will the status go back to unrooted for both?

I don't think that's been determined yet. Until it is I'm just doing a lot of reading and preparation :)

I am pretty sure it didn't when I went back to stock. Don't know now tho cuz I'm on another ROM.
[Verizon LG G2] jaben2:
It goes back to unrooted, if you use lgflash. I know it will show rooted, flash the stock file, go back to download it will say unrooted. I have done it a couple times already.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ohecht:
Hi,

I'm using the built-in TouchWiz T9 dialer and I can't seem to type a space when searching for contacts.

Lets say I have 2 contacts:

John A

John B

If I type John I see John A on the T9 results and I can't get to John B. I want to either enter a space and then enter 'b' or have it remember that most of the time I call John B so it will give it to me as the first result.

I tried clicking 1, 0, *, # but none behaved as space.

Does someone know how to do it?

I prefer using the default T9 dialer as I tired third-party dialers like exDialer and they all lag when I'm trying to call someone and also I keep returning to the default call log so I need to go back to the main menu and enter exDialer again.

Thanks,

Oren.

I am also using samsung phone and when i switched from one plus 6 i found that dialing a no. Is messy. The t9 dialer is actually not detecting space between letters in Samsung phones. I tried in samsung S10+ and it doesn't work.

Any idea how will it work as we are used to dialing with t9 and it's really very comfortable than searching for the contacts with just first name and dialing.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jwhite0514:
My son is trying to get his kindle fire back up and running. With not much success. He was reinstalling the software and must have wiped the device clean as now he cannot get back into recovery mode. When installing FFFF it says that there is no exec directory. He ordered a factory cable adapter from black hat under the impression that this would force the device into fastboot thus recovery. When he attached the adapter all that happened was that it went back to the kindle fire logo and is now showing offline status unknown. Before at least it was showing online. Are we mistaken that it should go to recovery (blue and white) kindle logo. We are a little tired of messing with it and are thinking of calling it quits. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. We have turned off and on, installed drivers, and switched cables to no avail.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
You almost got it right. The error you received means the shell is no longer accessible and therefore unable to send necessary shell commands, like those used to change bootmodes. In order to fix the problem, a factory cable is needed to

access fastboot

, which gives you an alternative method of changing bootmodes (to access recovery) or flashing partition images (i.e. installing recovery) by use of fastboot commands. But the factory cable does not actually boot the device into recovery on it's own though.

Here's where it get's a little tricky though. Unless you know what to look for, it's difficult to know whether the device is actually in fastboot because the only thing that will be displayed on the screen is the Kindle Fire logo. You'll know if the device is in fastboot because the Kindle Fire logo will stay brightly lit, indefinitely. If the Kindle Fire logo flashes and/or gets slightly dimmed, then you'll know the factory cable you have is defective. With that being said, however, just because the device boots into fastboot mode, doesn't necessarily mean the computer will communicate with it. For that, you need working drivers.

Long story, short...you need to confirm whether the device is actually in fastboot before you can go any further.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jwhite0514:
Thanks for the reply. I looked at the logo this morning and it came up brightly lit with no change so I am assuming it is in fastboot mode. That being said the device, in device manager it comes up as unknown usb device. Before it would come up as kindle and I would install the drivers and it would come up as an android phone adb composite. I went into device manager and tried to update the driver manually and windows tells me that the correct driver is being used for this device. I did unplug the adapter and go back with a regular data cable and that made no difference. Do you need to force it to use a different driver. I am trying to use the drivers that came with the KFU I downloaded.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sharonbw:
Kindle drivers are notoriously touchy. Try uninstalling/reinstalling them a couple of times. I predict they will suddenly start working and you can proceed with installing custom recovery/rom.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jwhite0514:
Thanks for the respone, I have installed and uninstalled to where if I here the computer connect and disconnect one more time I might throw it against the wall. Are there specific steps that I need to take other than ordinary to unintall/install the drivers correctly or maybe drivers that are more sccuessful than others.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jwhite0514:
Ok, after sifting through a number of threads. I read where adb and fastboot are mutually exclusive and adb will not see a device that is in fastboot mode. Is that correct? And when you install the drivers with KFU does that contain the fastboot drivers? Or should you download SDK platforms tools which contains both? And then run fastboot commands to flash a recovery? If so, is there a good tutorial for someone that does not follow directions well?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
Yes, adb and fastboot are mutually exclusive but the same drivers should work for each. You can try the drivers located HERE, or read the topic on understanding driver installation located HERE.

Of you are still unsuccessful in communicating with the device in fastboot while using fastboot commands, you may have to restore it with Firekit using the "shorting trick".
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jwhite0514:
OK, here is an update. I was able to get the device into recovery and TWRP. Not sure what I did differently other than maybe standing on one foot, facing south and staring at the stars, but it worked. When all of this started it was right after my son updated the software to 6.3.2 via wifi, maybe something went wrong. So last night I was able to flash 6.3.1 back to the device and was told that it was done succesfully. Using adb I can see the device in recovery and the shell lsiting is ~ # ←[6n which I guess is good as it said there was no shell before. So now my question is could it possibly be a corrupt bootloader on the device as well as it was hung at the fire logo. If so, do I need to reinstall the stock bootloader and if so where do you find it or does it come with the software flash?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jwhite0514:
I have succesfully got the update file on the kindle, did all the wipes selected install and now seems to be hung at veryfing filesystem and partitions sizes. Can someone tell me how long a flash should take or is something wrong? Since I have never done this before I have no idea.

Hi guys, hope your well.

Been having this problem for the past month and its killing me since I use the Nexus 7 as an ebook tablet to study. For some reason it now charges when it feels like it. Times when i connect to charge on a wall outlet, it does absolutely nothing. I tried other wall outlets, I tried connecting to the pc and it wont detect it as a drive either. Some days it will decide to charge, other days it wont. I tested the battery on a android app to check its life, and it stated that its healthy.

At one point I had to remove the entire back cover for it to catch a charge. I even tried the "bootloader and restart" tutorial, no good. The Audio jack works perfectly fine as well, never had any issues with that.

Its really weird and I would like to fix this as soon as possible. Really appreciate your help guys. Please advise
