[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Will_T:
On my previous phone, Samsung Droid Charge, all I needed to do in order to transfer files from my computer to the phone was plug it in. It would pop up in Windows Explorer as a external drive and I could copy, drag and drop, etc. whatever files I wanted. Very easy and worked every time.

With my Note 3 I am having trouble. When I plug in the phone, first it shows in Explorer with some odd Samsung files and folders that do not show my phone or card files. If I just let it sit for a few minutes, it usually then disappears from the Windows Explorer directory and then reappears displaying the phone and card directories. Sometimes in order to make it do this, I need to go to the phone settings>Tethering and touch the box that says it is connected as a media device. Then is displays the phone and card directory in Windows Explorer. Why is this process so cumbersome on the Note 3 or am I doing something wrong?

Even going through this process, sometimes the computer will freeze when transferring a data file and then I am stuck starting over.

Thanks for any insight into why this is not working seamlessly for me as it did with my previous phone.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xclub_101:
I think it depends a little on your computer configuration - here it is just as straightforward as you described for your previous phone.

One strange thing that I noted is however that my Win7 still tells me it not going in USB3 SuperSpeed even if it is plugged in an USB3 port.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Will_T:
Hmm. That seems odd since I can still plug in the old phone and it works fine. So the computer configuration would seem to be OK. I really think it is something about how windows sees the Note3. The behavior just seems odd to me plus as I said sometimes it does not work at all.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xclub_101:
I get it that you checked and you don't have the Note3 in PTP mode but instead in the "normal" MTP mode, and that first time when Windows asked you what to do with the new device you check the "Always do the same" and then selected "Open in Explorer"?

It could still be something related to the USB3 detection - do you get any message on SuperSpeed? Is there any difference if you plug in USB2 or USB3?

And to have more details - what Windows is that?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Will_T:
Don't see how to check this?

I don't remember this. I may not have since in the past with the Charge, I never did. Just plugged it in and there it was in Explorer easy as pie.

Using Win 7 Pro

Thanks!

On edit: I now see that when I plug in the phone I can access the setting from the pull down menu. It defaults as connected as usb but then if you wait it eventually is connected as MTP. It is at that point that the initial display in Explorer changes from showing only some odd Verizon files and directories to showing both the phone and the sd card files. Then I can usually drag and drop or copy files. But often in the middle of doing so, the computer freezes. Strange.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xclub_101:
I think that once it appears in Explorer we can say the phone is correctly in MTP mode. There might still be a problem depending on what you selected at first connection and eventually depending on other stuff on your Win7 - like the USB drivers, Samsung Kies, Microsoft Media Player or certain antivirus software.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Will_T:
OK - Thanks. I will keep all that in mind and see what I figure out. I suppose it could be any of that, just specifically impacting the Note 3 whereas the Droid Charge for whatever reason is just like plugging in a usb stick.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xclub_101:
The only extra difference from Droid to Note is the USB3 part - you should eventually do some tests with other cables, including the USB2 cable you were using with the Droid and the USB3 cable you got with the Note.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Will_T:
Maybe that is it as I did not think it mattered if I used a usb3 cable with the Note 3 since my computers do not have usb3. I have used the same cable with both phones. Actually the same two cables as I use two computers and hook the phones up to both with cables dedicated to each computer. The behavior is the same on both computers so I should have realized that must mean it is either the Note 3 or the fact that I am not using usb3 cables with either computer. But that latter point, if correct, should mean everyone with computers with no usb3 would have the same issue.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swampert543:
Hi guys, I ordered my Nexus 5 last week, and hopefully it'll come by Christmas! I've always been an iPhone user, and this will be my first time using android (if you don't consider the time i installed iDroid on my old 3G).Since I can't wait to use it, I'm trying to set everything up as much as possible before i get it. Since I was an iCloud user, i had to switch to Google services, which wasn't a problem, the mail and the contacts worked perfectly. When I tried to transfer the music from iTunes, I discovered that i need to download "google music manager", to use the music app. Unfortunately, I can't download it since it asks me for a credit card, even if i choose to use the standard "free" version of google music. This is so annoying; is there a way to transfer my music without using the google manager? Or a way to download it without providing a credit card? If not, is there another player that i can use to listen to my music? Thanks in advance

PS: sorry for the bad english (i'm italian) and for any dumb and noob question :P
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestD0734:
You can connect your Nexus 5 to your computer and from there go to My Computer. Then you can copy your music directly to the phone with no additional software.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swampert543:
Oh, is that simple? sorry, i was used to being forced to use one specific software to transfer my music :D Thanks :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] iainh666:
Anyone know how to get the phone out of a mode with a blank screen with the words "Serial V1.00" written on it.

I've tried a hard and soft reset on it, and running the upgrade again. No luck

I realise that there's probably a FAQ which covers this, but haven't been able to locate it on this site yet.

thanks in advance!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] universaldoc:
Thats an indication that it is now in Bootloader mode. You need to re-install the ROM.

UD.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] iainh666:
It sounds plausible that I am stuck in bootloader mode. How do I get out of bookloader mode?

Its the USB cable that I'm using to try and flash the device. I've not tried a couple of ROM upgrade programs from different suppliers, but I keep getting a "connection error 101".

thanks in advance
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] GuestX01066:
I think you can find your answer in 50 treats arround here:

Remove all cards (SIM + SD) from your device.

Run the update

Teja
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] iainh666:
I worked out the problem. I plugged in a different cable, and instantly it switched from serial to USB.

phew! :o

thanks for all your help.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] ijsmith:
I have the same problem

can any one explain how to fix it I get USB v1.00
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] dunderball:
I managed to get Wifi tether to work on an at&t xperia tl (lt30at) but I can't get my devices to download faster than 0.7 Mbps. The crazy thing is that upload speeds are normal at around 3-6 Mbps.

Tried freezing the 'tether entitle service' and that did not help either.

Any idea of why this would happen? What could it be that would be throttling or slowing down my download speeds?

My settings in the app are generic ics/jb (wlan0) using netd-ndc (master) using a custom SSID and a random channel (10). Wifi-driver reload as well as no encryption is set.

Any help would be great! Thanks.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] dunderball:
Okay - I randomly found the answer. Enable encryption and use a 13 character passcode. For whatever reason, I'm now getting 17.5 Mbps down and 9.25 down. Sick.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] dunderball:
Turns out it had nothing to do with encryption. I didn't reboot after freezing tether-entitle-service. After freezing the app, then rebooting, tether works like a charm regardless of encryption settings.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] julian8c:
you are right, after freeze the service "tether-entitle-service" and reboot. the download speed up (18MB).

thanks..

The Moto G both 8gb and 16gb versions are available for preorder now from amazon! From what I have heard from customer support its the Global GSM device! Same prices as Motorola too minus the tax!
[Moto G General] saber.srod:
So it would work on at&t 3g but not T-Mobile?
[Moto G General] Riverdales27:
I wouldn't say minus the tax. If your state passed the law about having an amazon warehouse in your state, you'll get taxed.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] INSM Sin:
Hello.

I was attempting to install a new KitKat ROM. The installation failed, and now the phone only sits at the Samsung boot logo. Since I downloaded the ROM using my phone, I figured the download was corrupt.

I put my phone into recovery to sideload a new ROM .zip downloaded from my pc.

Computer gives me a USB error sound

In device manager on windows, the phone displays as "SAMSUNG_Android" with an exclamation point.

I have correct drivers installed, computer recognizes when its not in recovery mode.

So if anyone could explain why it isn't being recognized it would be of great help!

Also, if I tried to mount the device as USB from recovery I get this

"E: Unable to mount '/usb-otg' "

I assumed that had something to do with it not being recognized.

I Googled this for about an hour and a half now... few people are having this with even fewer people responding to help. I may just be awful at searching though...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
I assume you have a custom recovery? If so, boot into recovery and restore a nandroid
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] INSM Sin:
Yeah I forgot to make one... And formatted previous ones a while back...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
Well, lesson learned, always have a nandroid. If you have kies, uninstall it then reinstall your usb drivers. You know you have to push a rom onto the device, now you need to figure out how to get the device recognized on your pc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] INSM Sin:
Deleting Kies as we speak. I did manage to get windows to recognize it while its in recovery. Now, after attempting adb sideload "filename" I get

"failed to write data 'protocol fault <no status>'" in command prompt.

And yes... lesson learned.

if i rember correctly you must limit sms caracter to do max 3 sms.

I don't think that this is possible in the stock SMS app, but in Handcent SMS (in Play Store) there is an option in the settings to not convert to MMS if the message length exceeds 3 SMS.

i think gravitybox can increase sms characters
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nick_12:
I'm somewhat of a N00B and I was just wondering if I did a NANDROID backup using TWRP on my current N5 then got a replacement would I be able just to restore the NANDROID backup on the new device without any issues? I would think I'd be able to, but I just want to be sure.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Yes you would be able to
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KTT16:
I didn't know you could do that.. I've never tried it before... Thought each back up was also phone specific..
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
It's specific to a phone type. He's going from one n5 to another. If you had say an s2 and you wanted to put a nandroid from an n5 on it, that without be a problem.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KTT16:
Makes sense.. By phone specific, I just meant exact same device.. Not just same model. Thanks!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
The nandroid does have personal information on it so I wouldn't recommend sending one to a friend or stranger
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leblvin:
BE CAREFUL!

If you restore your EFS to your new phone (which I just did), you're screwed.

Like, badly screwed.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
You're right. But most nandroids only backup system, data and boot. You don't want the efs partition if your going to put it on a different phone.

Edit, leblvin, flash the factory image through fastboot and you should be ok.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leblvin:
I did that, but somehow me IMEI is still 0.

Hello !!!

Since I upgraded my Sony Xperia S to 4.1.2; my battery charge lasts way shorter than it used to when I had ICS.

Recently, I started trying to find the cause, and my battery usage seems to be all going to the OS; there two Android apps running at all times; one of them take up to 75% and the other goes up to 7%; I've tried to kill them, reseting my OS to factory settings, and nothing works.

Do you have any suggestions?

Thank you so much!:laugh:

I'll appreciate any ideas or guidance.

I have S off by way of Rumrunner on an HTC One Verizon. I have TWRP as recovery and i am completely stock just S off and superuser. When i accept the OTA from Verizon it boots into recovery and TWRP pops up and i am stuck from there. I cant find the file to install and the phone wont upgrade. Please help. Thanks
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] mademan420:
You need to be on stock recovery as well to take the OTA. Check the bottom of post 2 of this
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] lan04:
ok i flashed stock recovery and it accepted the OTA :) thanks....now how do i get superuser privileges back...it says i am missing the binary
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] lan04:
i reinstalled TWRP and flashed superuser from TWRP recovery...all seems well now thanks...btw the stock files would not go into recovery it simply went to black screen and rebooted
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] zeropally:
You mist be new. Never take otas if you need to update after soff and root do so via flashing the rooted ROM of the newest update.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] lan04:
yes i am new and trying to learn...thanks for advice
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] BaBnkr:
So, am I correct in understanding that my phone will not take the OTA with twrp installed? As in nothing to worry about?

Just follow the 2nd post here, then reflash TWRP. The OTA doesn't break root.

Does Voodoo OTA Root keeper work on the HTC One?

Please delete if off topic!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] houtx2:
Yes, I just used Voodoo today to restore root after taking the .15 OTA. Will not work after 4.3, though (according to Google Play).
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] neutrino37:
I can confirm this works fine as well. I had S-OFF through rumrunner and had flashed TWRP. To take the OTA, I re-flashed the stock recovery (.10) from the link given in this thread, then took the OTA. After the OTA installed with no problems, I re-installed a recovery (I changed to CWM, just for fun). I tested it by booting into recovery, and when I rebooted from CWM, it asked me if I wanted to re-install root (su). The phone now has the OTA (.15), still has SOFF and root was easily recovered.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] thabroncs:
I flashed the .10 stock recovery and I'm getting an error when I try the ota, any ideas why? I followed these instructions and I end up with a red triangle with exclamation point the reboot and phone works fine. Thanks for any help.

Edit:I got the congratulations message but when I checked it says failed, error 410. I've downloaded it a couple of times.
