[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schalmers:
Hi, I have tried to do what is explained in the linked site on my 4.2.2 GPE but for some reason it is not working for me. Once I make the described change in the file platform.xml changing (using Ubuntu gedit) :

<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >

<group gid="sdcard_r" />

<group gid="sdcard_rw" />

</permission>

TO : (See addition of line <group gid="media_rw" />)

<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >

<group gid="sdcard_r" />

<group gid="sdcard_rw" />

<group gid="media_rw" />

</permission>

I copy the file back to the tablet, verify proper permissions are set on the file rw- r-- r-- , reboot the phone and and have lots of issues:

1) Error messages that multiple applications have stopped working Playstore, Youtube, etc

2) In ES File Explorer I can no longer see Internal storage (it is still visble in recovery)

3) But I can now write to the External SD card

4) Can no longer mount Internal or External storage to PC (MTP mode)

Copying back the original platform.xml file does not resolve the issue, the only solution I have found was to restore my backup system image using TWRP. I have tried 2x and have the same results both times. I am stuck now and if someone who has done this on the LG GPE and tell me what I am doing wrong I would really appreciate the help.

I have uploaded my original and modified platform.xml file if this helps anyone. Extenstions changed to txt to allow upload.

Thank you for you help,

Shaun

This fix worked GREAT !!!

Awesome fix, cannot believe the GPE version (V510) has this problem, probably because the Nexus never have external SDs. At first could not save or copy over with ES File Explorer which I have always liked but RiPpeR_dUdE comes through again with the FileExplorer link with its root access add on.

Fantastic post, have a great 2014 you just made mine much much better.

[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schalmers:
Thank you jk8260,

I did 99% the same as you I only edited on the PC instead of directly on the tablet but I will try again this time doing the update direct with Fx FileExplorer, I can only imagine that copying it to / from PC somehow corrupted something. I will of course do another TWRP before trying this. I appreciate you taking the time to respond.

Br,

I did the same thing but obviously something is getting in the way. I am able to edit and save the platform xml but when i reboot it gets stuck in bootloop and i have to system restore,,, 4x this happened think i will give up until another fix comes around or I switch ROM'S
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkassain:
i completely understand, as the OP's issue and GPE's in general is a device software configuration issue, which can fixed easily, but the issue that AndroidUser00110001 is explaining is a hardware one

and twrp works because it uses a simple fstab which already mounts sd card perfectly iirc
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schalmers:
[MENTION=5625160]jk8260[/MENTION] Just wanted to say thank you. I tried again the platform.xml change this time using FX Explorer like you suggested directly on the tablet without copying the file to my PC and all worked correctly and I can now write to the External SD card.

I also installed Foldermount and can move my game data (Tested with Bard's Tale) to the External SD so now my tablet is perfect and I am no longer limited by the 12GB Internal Storage. It is a shame Google / LG make us go through so much trouble on what otherwise is a great tablet.

I got my g pad today and took my sd card from my S3 and inserted it. G Pad said the card was empty. Back in the S3 it showed empty aswell. Pc says it is not formatted.

It all works again after formatting, but a bit of a buggar.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gioni mnemonic:
First of, hi all.

I also got my g pad 2 days ago and tested a 64 gb sd card from samsung, g pad saw the card as unknown size and couldn't access it, although card working just fine in another junk cheap tablet. Switched with a 64 gb from adata and this one works great until yesterday when all of a sudden it gives me the cannot write to sd card error. Had to format the card and now it works, but for how long... who knows. Very strange.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -MX-:
Is it formatted as fat32 or exfat? I had problems with a 64gb card that was formatted as exfat, it would work inconsistently in my s4 until I reformatted as fat32. It's been working flawlessly since then. I haven't tried it in the g pad yet so unfortunately I couldn't tell you if it works there. I've been using a 32gb without a problem so far in the g pad tho.

[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gioni mnemonic:
The 64 gb card I'm using now is formatted as exfat. No problems with it so far, except for the 1st minor incident a week ago. Thing is I don't know how it was formatted when I bought it, because the tablet made it exfat.

Only thing I hate is the lack of USB mass storage mode.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gioni mnemonic:
Did anyone try to use the sd card formatted as ntfs with the g pad? Does the g pad support ntfs? Or it needs to be rooted?
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aarix:
One problem is the .xml is slighty different but i went ahead and modified it regardless to similiar instructions, now it said google play services stopped, youtube has stopped, es file explorer cant stream. All because I added <group gid=”media_rw” /> and changing it back didnt work either so now I'm restoring and hopefully trying this again. God, this is REALLY annoying to fix a problem that shouldnt even exist.

Edit: Ok, I restored from backup and had to remove <group gid"sdcard_r" /> THAN add the other one. It sseeeeemms to work.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tr1ppo:
Hi

I using my Nexus 4 when I am driving in landscape mode using Screen Rotation Control apk from google.play and after update to Kit Kat the dialer orientation in 4.4 it's not the same like in 4.3

I make some screenshots

In Android 4.4

and when I receive a incoming call

And the old dialer from Android 4.3 in Landscape

In version 4.4 the dialer.apk becoming googledialer.apk and I don't t know if it's work just to replace them

I studying them and I find in dialer.apk from 4.3 a folder with the name "layout-land" and this folder is for landscape orientation, in googledialer.apk this folder is missing.

it's possible to put this folder layout-land in googledialer.apk ? I tried but no success :(

Don't have a nexus, but an i747 sgs3 (d2att) and this is also in CM11 based on 4.4.2. It seems all 4.4.2 based roms using google's dialer have it. The google dialer has regressed. Added features and subtracted others. Missing landscape mode and also being white with black letters is annoying. Hope this gets fixed somehow.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Accessories] samalama76:
I just installed this screen protector on my Tab 3 8.0, along with the black Bobj Rugged Case and wanted to share my initial review, as well as hear anyone's long term usage reports and thoughts on these 2 products.

First of all, the install of the ArmorSuit Military Shield screen protector was move involved than I had thought, but it came with all the needed items and good directions, and I feel good about the end result. Then when I put the Bobj case on I was pleasantly surprised about the fitment (tight) on the Tab3, and with added feel in the hands without adding too much bulk. The case is also plenty protective where it needs to be and doesn't encroach on the screen at all, and with the slimmer bezel on the Tab3 it is a welcomed feature. I could see where if one didn't have a screen protector installed, grit and grime could potentially find its way under the edge of the case and create rub marks on the screen itself. Another nice feature of the case is that it directs the sound from the bottom to towards the user and it definitely makes a big difference.:good: Overall I am pleased with this combo!:D

I would love some input and reviews from people who have used these products for a longer period of time.

Thanks in advance.

FYI, the screen protector is made in the USA!
[Galaxy Tab 3 Accessories] samalama76:
I just wanted update this thread with my results so far.

First i want to say that this combo is working out very well for me. It offers superior gripping qualities, the fit has not loosened or deformed in any way. It has successfully protected my Gtab 3 8.0 from multiple drops, water, and filth. The type of material the case is made from is neat, to put it simply, and works really well. The main thing is using it in conjunction with the screen protector, because without it there would be a high potential for chafing of the screen over time. The case is very soft and does pick up a little lint, hairs and such but I've found that wiping it with a baby wipe or something similar cleans it well. Also, it can be taken off and put back on easily for cleaning and/or maintenance of any kind.

The screen protector is working out really well also. It really does self heal like it claims and if installed per instructions, settles in or cures very well.

Overall I am super happy with this combo, it doesn't have a built in stand or have multiple configurations but if you are on the go alot, use your Tab a ton, in pretty harsh environments and don't want the bulk other cases offer this may work for you very well indeed. I expect to be utilizing this setup for a while.

Thanks!

So this seems like a stupid question...but I need to ask it! As much as I'm used to installing custom roms and such I've not dealt with firmware before my Z1.

Now I think I'm on Eu generic right now (see picture). I was on EE branded...but EE tend to be slow...with everything, so it seemed logical to flash to something else.

One assumes it does make a difference to when you'll get the update? And that any flash will work fine as your phone is still locked to "X" network?

[LG Optimus 4X HD] moss20:
Premise : as I said in the title,I'm not asking 'what is the best rom ?'.

Now,here's my problem and my question :

Since a month I have 2g connecyion problems (YES,I use 2g connection and I switch to 3g only when I need a data connection;I save more battery and my phone can last 30-40 hours from 100 to 15%),very often my phone loose the signal and it won't turn back until I reboot.

I read in the forum that is a cm bug and in some vanir rom the problem is fixed.

Here's what i did trying to fix the problem :

-restore stock firmware through kdz file (v20a)

-root/recovery and unsecure boot flash.

-flash cm 10.1.3 and iodak kernel (clean instal) -> still 2g problem.

-flash vanir stable 4.3.1 with stock or werewolf kernel (clean install) -> 2g problem and sometimes when I lost the signal the phone gets hot and my battery drains really fast. I have also another problem : my phone was at 90%,i turned it off and in the morning the battery was at 0%.

-flash zaiben rom with iodak kernel(really old version that worked correctly in the past)-> wifi problems after some reboots.

-flashed miui 3.12.6 from miuiandroid with optimus prime kernel -> 2g problems.

I don't know what to do,can someone suggest me a stable rom without network problems (wifi/2g,3g/gps/nfc) and maybe with good performance and battery life ?

Yesterday I flashed 4 different rom (always with a clean install) and I'm tired to try different rom so please,don't answer me 'make backup and try this or that rom' and share your experience instead.

Thanks in advice.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Flying_Bear:
stock rom, or any custom 4.2.2+ rom with EPRJ RIL implemented, which you can do yourself. look for my tutorial in general subforum, replacing CM RIL with EPRJ RIL gives rock-stable connection
[LG Optimus 4X HD] moss20:
I already looked your tutorial and the official thread of the tool but afterinstalling java,net framework etc,the tool doesn't work.

It says 'java not recognised' or something similar.

And what about kernels ? Does they (or some of them) create some kind of problems ?

So,if I'll make the tool works and I'll replace the ril,can I use cm 10.1.3 with iodak 8.0 kernel without problems ?

The strange thing is that network worked correctly with cm 10.1.3 for months,but now it doesn't.

BTW,wich rom are you using ? Can it fit for my phone use ?

[LG Optimus 4X HD] Flying_Bear:
you gotta edit some settings on your computer, if you have issues with java. check out the link in the tutorial to the program i used to extract .jar file, it has the proper troubleshooting ^^

kernels shouldn't have issue with 2g/3g, but i do know some custom kernels have issues with wifi on stock and stock-based rom that appear randomly, and just as randomly go away (wifi stuck on turning on)

and yeah, you should be able to use iodak+cm combination without the issue. and it is strange that the problem just now started appearing, but hey, if this works, you got yourself set for future ;)

atm i'm back on modified stock with iodakv7, i needed proper mhl support. i've however used i think all the roms for our device atleast for a week or so. carbon, slim, omni, vanir, cm, aokp, pac, mokee...

[LG Optimus 4X HD] dimi89:
I have similar problem with network on latest miui.When i restart device or just turn it on/off i can find network untill i go to airplane network and switch it off again then everything is fine.Also it happened just 1 time that i lost my network while my phonewas on.I did discovered that this is MiUi problem since i never got this kind of behavior on any previous rom.Last couple of days even fter restart my network is ok no need to use airplane trick anymore.So again i will say this is miui bugg for somereason.

Hello Guys i installed Kenars Rooted Stock Rom yesterday and have been getting the Following message

This device has detected that an Application is in use that is not permitted.

Or words to that affect.

I have read that you need to Freeze SEandroid. I looked for this and couldn't find it, however what I did do is held down on the Error message and got the App Knox Notification Manager.

I force stopped the App and also Freezed the app in Titanium. You can also get a free app No Bloat on Google market.

Just thought this would help others as they may get the message if they Root 4.3.

[General Questions and Answers] Amt0571:
I have a THL W100 that worked perfectly, but yesterday, after updating some apps, I noticed a huge battery drain and data hog. Today, I found Yahoo Weather as the culprit, so I simply uninstalled it this morning, and left the phone on my desk for a few hours. After uninstalling Yahoo Weather, it freed around 30mb and I had around 230mb total of internal memory available. I have not installed any new app in months (not counting updates, of course).

After 3 or 4 hours, I picked the phone again just to find out that there was a warning telling me it was out of internal memory. I went to the installed apps screen just to find that it reported only 20mb free! I ordered apps by size and everything seemed correct, but I wiped all caches and most of application data too anyway.

In the storage screen, it reports that of the 920mb of internal memory, 520 are used by apps, 5 by cache. The usage graph seems correct, but the phone reports only 60mb free after clearing of all caches, so there's nearly 400mb missing!

I tried to reeboot the phone, and looked around with x-plore, but I can't find the culprit... any idea where has my memory gone?

Thanks!

EDIT: I rooted the phone with framaroot and used "storage analyser" on the /data partition to see which files were eating my space. There were a lot of enormous log files at "/data/log_other_mode" created at the same time I uninstalled Yahoo Weather which ate nearly 250mb. I deleted them and everything is back to normal.

log_other_mode

hi,

i have a lenovo s750 with etotalk rom. i periodically delete all its content of the folder data\log_other_mode. it gets to 400 mb in about 10 days for me.

i found that a permanent solution would be to recompile the kernel....(not for me :eek: ).

i also found a way around for it: make the folder read-only...this will prevent the logger to write...

i would like to write these considerations in this post but i'm not allowed: is there any way to send a private message to the author of the discussion?
