Zepius, jd1639, All:

Is there a guide to doing a fastboot oem lock?

It's not the following thread right:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2513701

Not sure if there's a specific guide for locking the bootloader, most of them is for unrooting (which I don't need, correct?).

Thanks a lot guys!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zepius:
its literally typing the command in the command window: fastboot oem lock
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Yes that one... we assume you fastboot flashed recovery so you need to return that too.

If you don't know what you've done, follow the whole guide and fully return to stock.

Otherwise, cherry pick what you need from the guide

Oh thank gawd! I'm not the only one! I too am having this issue (tmus) and posted that question today there:

Basically I was using "Ultimate Rotation Control" and it works great on all my previous galaxies but on the Note 3 it looks like the icon and widgets are trying to stay in a forced portrait mode. However my background image looks fine, go figure.

However you can change your launcher to GoLauncher and that should work for you just fine. I prefer GoLauncher myself because it has a calendar widget that none of the other launchers seem to have.

Hopefully the makers of URC fix their app because its not working now.

Not to my knowledge.

If you change to Apex, Nova or another launcher, though, you'll have that as an option amongst plenty of others... Not to mention less resource usages.

I was wondering what format can the note 3 use. Can it use exfat or fat32. I am using a 64gb SD card right now and forgot what it is formatted to but I think it's fat32. Can it use exfat because one of the tormenting apps gave me trouble when I tried to download a 15gb file. I emailed the developer and he said it might be because my SD card is formatted and doesn't allow big files.

The 64gb card should be exFAT

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] TheUnknownThing:
Hello Folks! Did you ever wanted to increase internal storage? Well you came to the right place! Today I will show you the RIGHT way of increasing internal storage and allowing you to install more apps and games!

Note: You will need to be running an custom ROM before attempting to increase storage. Also root and superuser permissions will be needed. This method best works on gingerbread as it is more stable, I have tried it on ICS and JB but they may soft brick your device.

Step 1: Download and install MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition [DO NOT USE THE WINDOWS PARTITION AS IT DOES NOT SUPPORT EXT FORMATS]

Step 2: Plug your device in and make sure its mounted. Open MiniTool Partition Wizard, now you should see your SD card. [Back everything up before continuing]

Step 3: Right click on the SD card and click on "Format". This may take a while.

Step 4: Right click again and wipe the partition. Once that is done, split the partition. If you have a 8GB SD card I recommend you give 900MB for SD-EXT and the rest for SD.

Step 5: Before you apply, make the second partition (sd-ext) EXT 3 format. Do not touch the larger partition. Once your done you can unplug your device from the computer.

It should look like this:

Step 6: Go over to the Play Store and download "Mounts2Sd"

Step 7: Run the application and it should ask for super user rights

Step 8: Hopefully you will be presented with a screen like this.

Step 9: Press the menu button then tap on "Application Settings." Then tap "Install Mounts Script"

Step 10: Once step 9 is complete, tap the wrench icon and select apps and dalvik cache. (best effective way to increase internal storage)

Step 11: Scroll down and find "Driver" tap on that and select "Auto Detect"

Step 12: Restart! [NOTE: Boot may take a little longer than usual] [The speed on boot up now mainly depends on your SD card]

Now you are done! Here it what mine looks like now! So what ever you install, will go into the SD-EXT partition. Dalvik Cache is also now in SD-EXT!

I hope I helped you!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Zerien:
Just wondering...

Hi there, I have a s5830 as well. I installed quite a number of apps in it but the internal storage is almost full. I have found this way of increasing the internal storage on many sites. But my question is, will it really work? I have read comments about this method. Most of the people say it just spoils your sd card. Let me know what you think. Thanks :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] gouthamgmv:
Isn't this pretty similar to Link2SD?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Zerien:
Wait I'm getting confused. Are these two the similar thing? If so how do you configure it? I installed link2sd and have partitioned my sd card. From here what are the procedures to expand your internal storage? Thx
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] feliperock3r:
Thank you friend! Helped me a lot!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Nearz99:
About your statement...

Still man even you want it with mount2sd or link2sd still can't fully free up your internal memory coz still left some private apk that cost more on internal even that's been moved with any you named it mount2sd link2sd app2sd or with script and blahx2.... etc still there is no best method that work on freeing memory that also don't forget about statement that more app u can install more that u build cache or dalvik cache even that running front or background that also consumed your RAM issued even after you swap RAM To sd card that's finally broke your SD so That"s the end of it so if you have better solutions could you please send me email to rpermadiya@gmail.com Thanks again.... cheers....:)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] factoreal:
These two are similar in that they could make use of the partitioned sector of the sd card (known as the sd-ext) to act as additional "internal storage" for installing apps and works similarly as the phone internal memory. With the additional storage you could install more apps.

The above two are also similar in that they require init.d support and busy box. Most custom ROM normally are init.d supported and stock ROM's init.d support could be tested or added with app as per this tutorial: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1933849

Here are tutorials for Mount2SD and Link2SD.

Samsung Galaxy Ace memory related problem

Dear All,

I have a problem to solve regarding my Samsung Ace S-5830 (with built in 270 MB !!! internal memory) installed on a CM11.

Small description:

SD card partitioned (1st: 5.7 GB FAT32, 2nd: 1.4GB ext2) into the device (all memory: 270 MB, internal: 178MB !!!) I have already installed Link2SD application, linked a few applications (App. cache cleaner, disk usage, Google play services, Total commander) -> SD card

My storage usage status according to Link2SD:

internal (/data) 130/178 MB

SD card (storage/sdcard0: 97% free

SD card 2nd part (/data/sdext2): 90% free

system (/system): 205/206 MB 0% free -> it seems to me it completely full. I think the install script determines the space, I don't know whether it is the proper status

cache(/cache):4/24 Mb 82 %

I have already cleaned caches a few times. When I want to install a 20 MB or so application (i.e Accuweather ) from Google Play than the application downloaded, the install procedure seemingly finished, but at the end of the process the error message:

Can't install app

Insufficient storage available

Which storage insufficient? Where is the app downloading to? Where is the Google play store cache? Is it configurable? How can I solve/improve the situation?

In general devices have remarkable internal memory (at least 1-2GB) instead of Samsung Ace. How can I overcome this disadvantage? Thank you for your valuable support.

KR,

Laszlo.

Anyone have any ideas on why my note 2 will not roam it use to no problem and then I uodated to 4.3 and now it wont have another similar post but this one pertains to roaming so I went back to 4.1.3 and still wont can sprint disable roaming on thier end for my phone or push sonethi g to it becuase theu called the other day having problems with mt aorave telling me to turn off roaming and set it to cdma only but of course I didnt but ive changed the prl and still stuxk on sprint and also just bought roam control thinking maybe I can get somewhere bexuase where im at it will say I have 3-4 bars and as soon as I make or take a call it drops after 10-15 seconds and no service for a minite or two then the 3-4 bars come back up what I was wondering is if sprint can disavle roamong for my device on thier end ?? And if anyone has a clue how I can get my roaming back
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ArchangelRenzoku:
Since I updated to 4.3, I also have issues getting my phone to roam. The only solution is to reboot and wait. Kills my battery doing all that dang scanning.

Luckily, the Roam Control guys have found a workaround for our Note 2's finally so I think I'm gonna finally root 4.3, say goodbye to Knox, and install it again. People seem to be getting it working using S4 settings.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rogerpilly:
Hi guys,

I need your help becasue this looks very weird to me. This is my situation: I have a I-9500 (Stock ROM 4.3, no root) with Kingston SD Card 16 GB Class 4. On the SD I keep only my music in one folder, nothing else. Also because I have a lot of music, more than 14 GB, the card is almost full. Sometimes the back of the phone where the SD slot is, becomes to warm up a lot and battery starts to drain very fast. It has happened to me in different situations (and also prior to update to 4.3): once I was indeed listening to music, so using the card, but another time I was taking photos and watching a video saved on the phone. Like I said, I save everything (ecxept music) on the phone.

To solve, I have to either take the card out or format it in the phone. Once I do either of them, the phone cools off and battery drain goes back to normal. Once it even went into a boot loop, before I realized I had to take the card out.

We have 3 options:

1. it's the phone

2. it is something in my music folder (I have photos of the cover albums, which shows up in Gallery... could this be the cause?)

2. it is the SD card brand, capacity, class... I read on many forums about problems with certain brands, even though, if I recall correctly, it affected mostly 64 GB cards...

I want to add I have a Note I-5100 with a Sandisk SD 32GB Class 4 and never had any problem, I want to swap the two, but I know that even if something happens, it will not be immediate and I prefer to have the big one in the note. If I knew changing SD would solve it, I would go for it immediately, but I would like to know what you think first. I have also read Samsung SD cards perform better in Samsung phones. Is this true?

Thank you very much for your help!

I just noticed that many album folders have a file named n7p_art, which is created by the music software (I use stock Samsung Music Player). could this be the cause?

Dear Nexus 5 Users,

I was trying to use Google Now Cards here in Sri Lanka, but I could not enable or even the option did not showed up.:confused::confused:

Then, I tried to push an old update of Google Search and then updated via the Play Store, IT WORKED.:):):)

Please do the following if you have problems with Google Now Cards.

Disclaimer - I am not responsible for lags, bricks or any sort of bad happened to your device.

1. Unlock Bootloader and Root your device. Follow THIS link.

2. Install Titanium Backup. Here is the Playstore Link -> Titanium Backup

3. Download an older version of Google Search app. I prefer downloading 2.6.7 update. Here is the Link -> Google Search 2.6.7, store it into phone sdcard, later we will be using it.

Now do this patiently.

4. Install a 3rd party launcher and make as the default one. I prefer the Epic Launcher which goes close to the stock. Playstore Link -> Epic Launcher

5. Go to Titanium Backup App and search for Google Search app. The update should be 3.1.xx.. Take a Titanium backup of that app and Un-install it.

6. After uninstalling, install the Google Search 2.6.7 update which is on your sdcard. [Step 3]

7. Now go to Playstore and Search for Google Search and update it.

That's it. After updating your left swipe Google Now will be enabled.

Check the screenshot Ive attached which has the Google Now On/Off toggle, with default I did not have that option, after doing this process it appeared.

Cheers :):good::good:

Alternate method, without rooting phone

1. Remove sim card and turn airplane mode;

2. Download free fake GPS Application

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lexa.fakegps

3. Choose the position where Google now is supported. Example New York, and touch Set Location, You must allow mock locations in developers section;

4. Settings .. Wifi .. Touch&Hold on SSID you are connected .. Advanced Settings .. Proxy Manual Mode .. Enter Proxy Server IP Address and Port (For proxy servers address, google it, or pm).

5. Reboot phone;

6. Touch Google Search Bar .. Settings .. Accounts & privacy .. Google Account .. Sign Out;

7. Disable Google Play Service application. Before you need uninstall update and disconnect Android Device Manager.

8. Touch Google Search Bar .. Settings .. Accounts & privacy .. Google Account .. Choose your gmail address; Agree with prompt, touch "I'am In". Activate Google Play Service application

Congratulations, now you have Google Now service activated. If you turn it off, then you need same procedures again.

9. You can remove Proxy servers address from Wifi settings, disable mock locations also and uninstall fake gps app if you want.

Many thanks to RaouF Ouacher from google groups forum. for provided such information. Sorry for my English.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maltadav:
Sadly it did not work either but I'm on an S3... Google now cards are no longer showing up no matter what I do. Maybe I'll try the GPS spoof trick.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iFeelYouJohanna:
You don't need root/ or to spoof GPS for this. (GPS spoofing doesn't affect location information anyway)

You need an internet connection for this Wifi/ or mobile internet.

Step 1: Disable Google Play Services (you'll have to uninstall updates first to see the disable button on some devices)

Step 2: goto Settings > Account > Google > Search and Logout and then Log back in. (It will ask you to turn on now cards here > select Yes)

Google now should be enabled now.

Step 3: enable Google Play Services

Tested on Nexus 5, Moto G, Galaxy S4

NOTE: If you have a message saying "there was a problem communicating with google servers" you'll have to clear app data and cache of your google search. THIS WILL CAUSE YOUR HOME SCREEN TO GO BACK TO DEFAULT if you're using GEL (i.e. NEXUS5)

This has been now checked by multiple people and is 100% working

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] شیرخدا:
Thanks to the OP, this method still works if anyone was wondering but it seems that you need to use the Google search app mentioned in the post or older as I used 2.7.. that I had backed up previously but it still didn't allow me to enable Google Now due to my location. Also it doesn't have to be a nexus 5, I've just enabled it on a nexus 7 so it might work on any device

Are you getting a network error message when trying to dig back in to search? I'll need more info about what exactly you did and what happened.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eirh:
Yes, I did disable Google Play services. I got the network error message, so I deleted the Google Search app data and cache too.

What happens is that no matter how many times I try to log-out and log-in with my account (in the Google Search settings) afterwards, I am not asked to enable Google Now, so it's not available for me. The switch to enable Google Now in the Search settings does not exist.

I assume at least part of my problem is due to the Location services, they cannot be enabled where I live... Is there any workaround for this? Or if the problem is somewhere else, could someone point out - where exactly?

Thanks!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iFeelYouJohanna:
Yeah this is the only work around for the play services location not available. When play services is disabled Google search can't check your location so that's why this works.

However there was an update to Google search 2 says ago so I haven't tested this after that. :(

Google has not enabled location services for Sri Lanka, that is the reason.
