Hello just bought the meenova card reader and Nexus media app paid version although I can see my external memory on the Nexus media app I can't see it using a file manager app like es Explorer etc is there anyway to see my SD card without using the Nexus media app?

Thanks in advance

You need to install Stickmount. It requires you to be rooted.

Here's the free version, but there is a pro version as well. - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.stickmount
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shanks:
No offense to the post above me but don't use sick Mount as it doesn't Mount your card as a USB storage, it mounts it as just another folder in your internal storage, instead flash a custom kernel like chaos that auto mounts USB storage as USB storage and not as a folder, you will even see your usb if you go to settings and then to storage
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
+1 for chaos. Perfect if you want to use foldermount to shift game files to otg, which you cannot do with stickmount for the above reasons.

One thing though, my otg does not show in settings > storage with chaos.

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhisonnn:
Heyy guys I have a XperiaSP which have unlocked bootloader and unrooted phone (just unrooted it a while ago). I would REALLY like to update my phone because there's too many bug here on Xperia SP. However, when the phone was still rooted I tried to update and it failed. Now after unroot I was going to update but then the fact that I unlocked the bootloader I am really worried about wiping/bricking the phone through OTA update. Any help pls?

P.S - My phone is barely Unlocked. It is nearly as stock and no custom recovery nor root is installed.:laugh:

Edit : By the way, is the Xperia SP really got Wi-Fi issues? My iPod got full signal on home's wifi and my SP got barely 1-2..
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madhukarmohan:
hmmm

did u try using PC companion? Is It ok there?

Or else I think you know that Sony's 4.3 update is on the corner. that may will solve your issue :)
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhisonnn:
Ahh yeah gonna try that ASAP. but I just forgot to mention that my primary laptop is now on service center (Got a bit problem there) so I can't really update my SP through that.

I tried updating just now through OTA. After the reboot a popup message appeared :

"Could not install new software version. Try again."

Is that because of my unlocked bootloader? Cos I unrooted my phone completely through SuperSU.

If so how to relock the bootloader??
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Schokonuss:
If you want to relock the bootloader just use FlashTool. In your case because you don't have any custom Firmware on your phone this should be quite easy.

But I always thought when updating with having root access you can update but lose root. Maybe it didn't work (the update) because of a complete diffenent reason. Did you try it a second time?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhisonnn:
When I got my laptop back, I'm definitely going to relock the bootloader. But if I do something wrong, will it hard brick or something? (sorry for my parranoidness) and relocking is not much difference from unlocking right?

I tried installing the software update the second time. Unlocked BL, fully unrooted (No Super SU). Still fails :( gonna try at PCCompanion
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pulsa:
You should flash stock ROM using flashtool, relock the bootloader, and then restore the TA partition

Sent from My XSP
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhisonnn:
I'm on my stock ROM now (Default Sony ROM right? But I've updated it before, does it count as stock?)

What's TA partition?

Sorry for noob Qs
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KiaTheKing:
I never do this before.So can I update my phone via pc companion via unlocked bootloader?On stock rom without root and recovery?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Schokonuss:
If you didn't flash anything on your device you can relock your bootloader without any problems. If you had a custom recovery, kernel or ROM and you relock your bootloader while having this custom recovery, kernel or ROM this should brick your phone (I think this could even be a hard brick) but if everything is stock (like I already said) there shouldn't be any problems with relocking :)

TA partition contains the working bravia engine (2) which gets lost if you unlock bootloader. If you had made a backup of the TA partition you could restore this and get the bravia engine back
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrey464:
if i didnt make backup (because no one told me to :D) i cant install 4.3 update from Sony if comes out ?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jramirezw:
Yes, you'll be able to get the 4.3 update without the TA partition. But, as everyone else here said, make sure you're on a stock ROM, with a locked bootloader.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Patrol619:
Locked bootloader ----> You can use PC Companion or Flashtool to update your phone

Unlocked bootloader ------> Flashtool only

Also, don't try to update your phone via OTA while having your bootlader unlocked, because it will brick your device.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rosely:
My original Stock Rom had been flashed to CM 10, but now I have flashed it back to stock rom that I tried to search online from this site. Is it counted as original stock rom or not? My phone is unlocked bootloader, and I got ota update but cannot install, I don't know why; maybe it has been changed or maybe of unlock bootloader?

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
ROM is personal preference, flash a few and try them out. All you need to know is here in the forums, read about KNOX and how it affects you and your device warranty.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kokoro18:
Of course! It's a personal preference. I just want to know what most people here use as their ROM and advice me which ROM is best for everyday use
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
everyone uses different variants, kernels etc. They're all good for everyday use.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NOZX:
Its something thats frowned upon for asking. All roms have different benefits. Read features of each and decide for yourself. AOSP roms are in their infancy for the N9005 so best left for the more experienced flasher and those that dont mind broken things.

After several more hours simplifying my search and using XDA search exclusively I was able to find answers to some of my questions and determine that Goole IS NOT my friend when it comes to getting answers for my Android questions in fact it just causes confusion due to all the so-called experts out there. Still working on these...

Is there a rooted stock for CWM flashing with just the bloat removed that will save me the unbloat time BTW?

After flashing what if anything should be safe to restore from Titanium Backup or my old backup? Or actually the short answer of what is a no-no if I want stability to stay?

Thanks for any and all help in advance.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] comegalletas:
Hello to all, good night;

I had by mistake flashed thru flashtool a recovery image to my r800i (fastboot flash boot recovery.img)... then at the phone start all that it did was load to CWM. After some reading I flashed a boot.img file from a cm-7.2.0-zeus (cyanogen mod) and were able to load the phone properly, however the splash load screen from the recovery image persists.

I have searched everywhere to find a boot.img from stock R800i_4.0.2.A.0.62_Generic with no luck.

Can someone please point me out how to remove the loading splash screen or share a stock boot.img for testing?

Thanks a lot, Im aware it was a noob mistake. :eek:

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] CHiSEEN:
So for awhile now my battery percentage has been acting funny. The majority of the time, it displays 0% regardless of the actual charge. Sometimes it will display as the real charge but then it will remain displaying that level even after the charge has dropped. I have tried formatting and flashing different roms, it doesn't seem like the ROM is the issue. Currently using one of the CM11 builds from last week. You can see from my screenshot that regardless of being charged it shows 0% across the board for the last 2 days.

Anyone know what's up with this? My gut is telling me to open up the case and check the battery connection, but I'm wary of cracking my backplate when prying it open. I heard its quite fragile.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] LinearEquation:
Sometimes after flashing a ROM the battery stats will act weird. Charge to 100% and use the battery calibration app and you should be back to normal.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] CHiSEEN:
Thanks I'll try that. I've never had to recalibrate my battery after flashing with any of my other devices. Hopefully this fixes it!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] CHiSEEN:
Doesn't seem like the calibration app is doing anything, it thinks the charge is at 0% as well. Also when I boot into recovery (TWRP), there is no battery charge displayed. On my phone it displays the charge next to the time.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Actarus81:
so glad to have come across your msg because I've been having the same issue for the past week.

I owed a Nexus 7 2013 unrooted which I'm running with the latest version 4.4.2.

I've been googling all weekend and came across several msg on the issue.

My issue is that tablet been shutting off at 40% as if my tablet is seen 0%. Just before it shut down a msg appear saying low battery and the tablet shut off but problem is the per engage show 40% and this started since this past weekend.

I've try to recharge my tablet by closing it and charging it to no avail. I also read on different board that those app calibrate a myth and does nothing to solve the issue. The only thing I haven't done is factory rest my system because again I've read that the issue still persisting.

Also each time that I'm charging my tablet I notice that it stay a long time on 100% but the moment it reach 40% it shut down as if is 0%.

I'm hoping other users can come by and confirm if they experiencing the same issue.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ImHereToSaveTheDay:
Hi. long story short. I got my nexus 5. Probably about almost 3 weeks. And I liked it and all, got it rooted, custom ROM etc etc etc..... Today I was playing a random game. No problem at all. Started using it like normal. Then out of nowhere, tremendous lag(maybe 40 seconds) then phone turns off. Then it reboots. I probably thought, some Roms have these issues. I can live with it. Then out of nowhere while in the middle of a call...... it decides to turn off. I try turning it on, and get nothing. I try charging it. Nothing at all. Luckily I have my nexus 4. But truthfully. I bought a nexus 5 off some guy who bought it from the site. I still have the box and all. But if this is a hardware issue only Google can fix. Is there something that has to be done to get it sent to them? I hate the fact that it was completely out of nowhere. Nothing wet, hardcase cover, screen protector. Everything was secure. Haven't had any problem at all till right now!

Is there a solution to this? I have tried going into boot loader. Download or w.e it is. Connecting it to a computer and nothing at all works!!! I'm starting to panic!!! Is there anything else I can do?!?!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ickoicko:
Does it have warranty at Google? You can fastboot it and download the stock rom via google and return to stock. If that doesn't work RMA it. If it doesn't have warranty then use it as a building block in your backyard coz that's one of the risks of buying a phone from another person at 2nd hand; you'll never know what that person did to the phone.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markdapimp:
If you purchase a nexus five other than a Google Play Store the Google warranty is no longer valid unless the device is given as a quote on quote gift as of this you will have to wear it is all into dealing with LG into RMA the device

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ickoicko:
If you're saying that you want to open your N5 as in literally open it, you're wasting your time. Accept the fact that you have to full wipe through fastboot and when it does open, use Dropbox or any other app that saves your pictures/contacts/apps when you sync it so when you have this problem again, wiping won't be an issue. I can't even begin to fathom why you would literally open the phone when clearly it's a software issue.

EDIT: or find the person who sold it to you and demand a replacement IF it has a one year warranty though that's more of a hassle.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
Uhh... OP flashed custom firmware on it so how is it the seller's fault? Even if it was on warranty, OP voided it when he flashed the custom ROM. This is a risk that everyone on XDA is or should be aware of.

[MENTION=4830872]ImHereToSaveTheDay[/MENTION]- If you can get into the bootloader or recovery you can likely save the phone. Try flashing the factory image. If you can't get into the bootloader you might need to have the phone JTAG'd. When you connect it to your computer what pops up under device manager? If it comes up as QHSUSB_DLOAD then it's hard bricked and needs to be JTAG'd.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
have you tried pressing and holding your power button for 20 seconds or so?

---------- Post added at 03:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:36 PM ----------

software wont brick the phone, especially software thats made for the nexus 5. and google will still replace a phone if its the hardwares issue, even if you are rooted running custom software. that risk that you say everyone should be aware of doesnt really exist if its the hardwares issue. and if its software, it can always be fixed.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
That's not entirely true. My One X had to be JTAG'd because of software. Granted it was different circumstances than this, but it certainly wasn't a hardware fault.

If it is a hardware issue then yes, it will still be covered by warranty, but running any type of custom firmware does come with a risk, Nexus phone or not. As it stands, OP doesn't know what the problem is, so calling the seller and demanding a replacement isn't quite appropriate. That's all I was really commenting on.
