[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] slooky:
Hey...just wondering. Most custom roms leave us with a whopping 2+ gigs of space free on the system partition.

Is there any method like symlink or folder mount, which could allow us to store, say, mp3s etc. in a folder on the system partition and then sym link it so that apps and the phone thinks they're on the SD card?

Just an idea...it is a bit of a shame that we're left with 2 gigs of free space which can't really be utilized in it's present form.

Alternatively...is there a music player app that would be able to play files stored on the system partition? (assuming, say, that I activated RW on the system, copied in a few folders of music, and then used an app to play back said music now stored in the 2+ gigs of free space on the system partition)?

I just recently purchased my Verizon LG G2. I transferred all files from my SD card onto my G2. When I try to find the files on my phone, they aren't there. I was really upset when I first found this out because I thought I lost all my pictures, videos, music, etc... I bought the pro version of an undelete app to retrieve my files. I found them using this app and restored them. I then preceded to connect my phone to my pc again to sort them. I saw that all the files I thought I lost were right there where they always were. Also, I couldn't see any of the files I just restored using the undelete app. Any ideas? What do I need to do in order to view my files on my phone? PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!:crying:

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrazyTechnoBoy:
On certain ROMs, such as Cataclysm, my data signal goes away after disconnecting from the WiFi. But this has been happening on several other ROMs, too, and I can't seem to find the reason behind it. In case it matters, I'm using my phone on Sprint, data works fine with the stock ROM, and problem starting occurring more often after the 4.4.1 update. Any suggestions?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Natakranta:
What you described looks similar to my problem.

I’ve been flashing 4.4 and then 4.4.1 ROMs on my Nexus 5 since I’ve got it early November, but I have not updated bootloader and radio up until yesterday. This week being on Slim 4.4.2 beta 1.5 I couldn’t connect to mobile data even though I had 4 bars and it was showing 3G or H (no LTE here yet, at least for me). GPS was fixing my location on Google maps, but navigation was not able to recalculate the route and was not moving my position along the way. Only when I switched from navigation to map, it was showing me as moving accordingly. Maps also couldn’t search for the address I was looking for. Now I realize it was a data connection problem.

So I thought it’s because I’m using 4.4.2 ROM on 4.4 bootloader and radio. Yesterday I downloaded Google 4.4.2 factory image and fastboot flashed all (efrant, your guide is irreplaceable!), formatted cache, did a factory reset and all. I wanted to have 100% factory state device. What a surprise today morning, when I realized I have no mobile data. Orange 4 bars signal with 3G or H. No internet though. Rebooted – the same: max signal, no internet. I turned Airplane mode on and off. Signal is back and I have internet, but bars still stay orange. So I rebooted. No internet on full 4 orange bars. Airplane mode switch on and off – mobile data regained, yet still orange.

When I reached the office I turned on WiFi. Got strong WiFi connection, bars went white, both WiFi bars and mobile bars (in Quick Settings). I switched off WiFi – mobile data is not reconnecting, staying orange, showing 3G or H. Sometimes it’s coming back after few seconds, sometimes it requires switching Airplane mode on and off to bring it back.

WTHell?

I was never putting much attention to mobile data because at home and in office I’m on WiFi, and while driving I’m listening to audiobooks so I don’t see what’s going on with mobile data. Sometimes I take a train, and then I’m browsing xda – I don’t recall having connection issues in train up until recently. But what I recall now, for some time, when coming back home and turning on WiFi, email notifications were popping up immediately. Does it mean I had no mobile data and phone synced only after it had WiFi?

This is annoying and driving me mad. Do I have to fastboot flash 4.4 factory image to see if it’s gone on 4.4?

Any ideas what can I check before going through factory img flash again?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b.spec:
Does your data eventually kick in after a few minutes, or are you without data for an extended time after disconnecting wifi? I know with Cataclysm if you enable Smart Radio it takes some time for data to ramp up after disconnecting wifi, although I'm not sure about how other ROMs handle this.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Natakranta:
I'm on full stock 4.4.2 now, just roorted with SuperSU 1.80, no mods at all. I wanted to check if it is related to custom ROMs or general.

It's random, after switching WiFi off, mobile data sometimes comes back after minute (rarely) but more often I need to switch Airplane mode on and off to bring internet back, but even this does not work all the time.

Mobile toogle shows 4 bars with 3G or H in orange colour (screen attached) when there's no data or there is data. Never goes white for mobile data (I remember it used to). Now it becomes white only after I switch on WiFi (2nd screen attached).

It's mobile data which can't reconect after switching off WiFi, even though mobile signal is strong - 4 bars and it's showing its on 3G or H. And Why it stays orange even after it finaly regains mobile data?

So at first when I plugged in my phone my computer would say LG D800, but now I'm stuck in cwm after ota update and when I plug it in it say LG D802? Has this happened to anyone?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osnapitsjoey:
I'm on 4.4 right now and I just reviewed the ota but when it finished downloading, it went stock recovery and just said "error". Obviously I was pissed so I then went the adb root but that wouldn't work either. Something about it not being able to find "update.zip" when it is clearly in the same folder. After that I decided to flash a custom recovery, not clockwork but the other one. Whenever I try to go that route it still says it failed. I have been looking at posts and none have helped so far.

I am rooted, I don't have busybox/xposed, I am using art. I read something about having to have all of the stock apps.

also, this is what it says in the custom recovery: /system/framework/core-libert. Jar unexpected E:Error executing updater in zip I tried googling but to no avail.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryuhyoko:
That modded play store might have changed some system files that prevent the update. You can try flashing one of the stock 4.4.2 Roms available in the android development forums. I used the one by bigxie.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madpest:
Hi,

I know that in order for the original kindle fire to recognize OTG. devices, the following must be available:-

1. Rooted kindle fire.

2. ROM with Hashcode's 3.0 kernel .

3. microUSB. to USB. OTG. cable.

4. Powered USB. HUB.

Since the kindle doesn't give out enough power to drive flash drives/keyboards etc., we resort to the powered HUB. Well, recently I stumbled upon a "Micro USB Male To USB Female Host OTG Cable + Micro USB Adapter Y Splitter". I was hoping if we could connect the Kindle's charger to the microUSB port in the above mentioned cable and use the provided Female USB. OTG. cable to connect a peripheral like flash drive..

My doubt is this. Will connecting the kindle's charger be

enough

to drive a flash drive/keyboard? Or will it simply just charge the kindle and not give power to the OTG. device?

A link to the cable cannot be given as i'm a new user..An ebay search by copy pasting the name of the cable is enough.

I run a kindle fire with gedeROM ICS. flashed.

SORRY

IF THIS IS A NOOB/STUPID QUESTION! Thanks!

So, just to clarify, if the kindle is connected with the original amazon charger, it can detect otg. devices connected to it, yea? (assuming we have 3.0 kernel). Ill try to post pics of the cable asap..It may help people.

If this works a 100%, then this is really an even cheaper alternative to buying a powered usb. hub..Just buy the $6 cable and you're ready to run otg devices! Pretty neat.

Why would you wanna plug it in when you're trying to connect it to a computer? Cant u just directly connect the K.F to the computer using a USB. to microUSB. cable? I thought that you needed the extra power from the wall charger only to drive peripherals connected

No I'm using the computer as a way of powering the USB hub. I can connect the USB to the wall as well though.

Ok, although I don't think using a hub is neccessary if you are planning to connect only one device at a time. After all, this method eliminates the need to buy a powered usb hub...

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jiggabitties:
If the bootloader was not unlocked it would overwrite any changes you make to recovery and system files. So as long as you can reboot without losing TWRP or any custom ROM you've installed you're golden.

Unlocked Bootloader?

It's been a while for me since I rooted my phone, and I don't know if I unlocked my bootloader either... I have never installed a custom ROM, I only rooted so I could tether. But now that the new OTA update keeps trying to install itself, I need to fix this because it's extremely annoying. I read a thread that said I need to flash this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2578458, but it said that I need my bootloader to be unloacked, and therein lies my question...

Am I thinking this through the correct way?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TonikJDK:
If you just want to stop the update notification fteeze SDM 1.0
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jiggabitties:
That is the correct thread. Easy way to check is to boot into recovery and see if there is a custom recovery installed. Power down your device, hold down the volume up + verizon button, then power up. Hold volume up + verizon button until you see the galaxy note 2 splash screen. If it boots into TWRP than you're still good. But you will probably want to update to the latest version of TWRP before you go installing any new roms.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] James Mac:
Thanks Jiggabitties, I updated TWRP and downloaded official firmware.md5 file and the Mj9 DeOdex file to my pc. Should I transfer those files to the sd card in my phone and install from the TWRP menu? If so, I do the official firmware file first, right? Then the deodex...?

Thanks for all your help man
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jcollier:
The firmware update is done in ODIN and the ROM is done in TWRP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jiggabitties:
Yes start by transferring the files to your SD card.

The firmware package from that thread is meant to be flashed via ODIN. If you are not comfortable in flashing firmware via ODIN then use this in it's place... https://www.dropbox.com/s/lz29kvrvzfttfpu/MJ9ModemParams.zip This is a TWRP flashable version of the firmware.

Place the MJ9 Deodex and the modemparam.zip I linked to above on your SD card. Flash the ROM file first, then the modemparam.zip. Then clear cache/ dalvik and reboot. That should be all you need to do. If when you boot you don't get service, then you will need to go ahead and flash the firmware vid ODIN. Some users have no issues with the flashable version that I linked above, some users do.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
OTA updates are possible with both, standard and custom recovery, but if you have done modifications to kernel / system most likely the OTA will fail. Or, if it doesn't fail after the update you will loose the custom recovery.

The easiest way to update is flashing boot.img and system.img (extracted from the appropriate Google factory image) by fastboot.

He attempted to root it and ended up bricking it and he wanted me to fix it, after a lot of tinkering I took a break, now after coming back to it I have gotten it out of the bootloop and it is now able to start up fine, with a couple problems. The first of which is that CWM repeatedly restarts every second or so when it is opened, so I can't do any tinkering there.
