I didn't work for me

Hi to all.

I came here because I have a problem with my internal storage since I upgraded my S4 (I9500) to oficial Kit Kat 4.4.2. It seems that apps can't access the internal storage so I cant download files, save files from dropbox or even record a vine from the app. I have no problem taking photos or viewing them with the stock camera app, so I don't know what could it be. I hope you guys could help me. Thanks.

PS. I have already tried the fix post here, it didn't solve the problem :(
[Galaxy S 4 General] EmDzei:
Hi!

Didn't read the whole thread and sorry about that. I have the newest KitKat and haven't rooted my phone, becouse KNOX and warranty void bit.

My problems is similar and I think it is waste of our readers to build similar thread, but without rooting phones issue.

Some questions:

The SD card file format is FAT based from Microsoft from year stone and sword. How will apps work if we format/convert it to Linux EXT file format? When plugged the phone to PC Windows OS's cannot see it. But how about KIES. No? My daily file transferring from or to is photos from camera and music to phone. Wi-Fi direct?

I am very interesting to hear similar solution but not need to root and void warranty (and of course selling price). Specially I am interesting to hear if this "formatting your microSD card to EXT" is the holy Grail.

[Galaxy S 4 General] paulcc:
possible fix for auto rotation here

I've had trouble with auto rotation after I rooted my s4 as well, so my guess is your auto-rotate problem might be related to the rooting, not the fixes to ExtSD permissions. See the thread below. Someone posted a fix, some else has already tried it successfully. I will try it later this weekend. I'd be curious if you have success with this fix.

Paul,

I think I figured out that in my zealousness of removing some Samsung apps via Titanium, it was actually one of the apps I removed that stopped the screen rotation. Haven't yet isolated the specific app ... But was caused by me taking out one of the Samsung apps.
[Galaxy S 4 General] nayem48:
I kinda need some help from you guys. Installed the flashable zip through cwm and after reboot , youtube 'has stopped' keeps showing up repeatedly even if I click ok , this keeps happening for other apps like google play store and some samsung apps and i cant open this apps. then I wanted to return to my original state and I had made a backup of the PLATFORMER.XML and tried to reflash it , flashing it causes no problem but still apps "has stopped" keeps showing for the apps have mentioned above.

[Galaxy S 4 General] Yaoshi_2000:
Downloaded in seconds ... ? re: 64GB microSD

SDFix downloaded quickly for me ... just now.

I had tried it several days ago ... but my "unique" problem was not resolved. I have a rooted Galaxy S4 (SHV-E300S) with 4.4.2. I'm able to successfully mount a 64GB microSD (2, actually ... Samsung Pro 64GB MicroSDXC 64G Class 10 UHS-1), but I can't write to the 64GB cards. I am able to mount and write to an 8GB card, but the 2 64GB cards display a "creation failed" message when I attempt to create a folder using Root Explorer or My Files.

I'm sure that the 2 64GB cards are not corrupt as they work fine in my PC. I confirmed that they're formatted exFAT. I've mounted them back in my phone and formatted them again. When I format the 64GB cards in my phone, folders are created ... momentarily (see attached screenshot) ... and then they disappear with only the Parent folder remaining.

Any ideas as to why this is occurring?

Thanks.

DONT USE the files on the first post, as people have said, it breaks your phone!

I was getting lots of FC with apps, and my phone couldn't even see it's own storage after using that platform file, so I couldn't even back up my files, I had to do a full re-flash and lose everything.

Not sure why the first post is still there!? it doesn't work and breaks your phone!!!!!
[Galaxy S 4 General] deathnotice01:
It works on most S4s

And by "as most people said", what are your statistics? In aggregate it's almost 5k downloads with less than 10 valid complaints

Reasons why it doesn't work on yours:

- you're not rooted

- you're not using an S4

- you're totally doing it wrong.

Please try to be more convincing. So far there are 7 reports of it failing most of it is due to the fact that they're using a Note 3 and the other reports are that they're using poland firmware.

Hi vivalafrance!

Please forgive the Newbie question, is your platform.xls the same as on my stock TW i9500 4.4.2 (FNB2)? I wanted to use the Perseus Kernel for the SELinux mess but as it's in alpha stage people have complained about blutooth breakage so I'm waiting for the beta version, LOl...I flashed this fix immediately after flashing the FNB2, but I still dont have write access, as I don't use Bluetooth often I think that I may have a problem,...my cyanogenmod i9100 4.4.(Enforcing but using the SELinux Mode Changer for Trouble-Free access), can see my i9500 but not vice versa. Do you think I have problem with the i9500 and will your XML attachment fix it. I checked out your & one other fellow member's link to the SDFix, unfortunately it didn't work for me. Other than my first question, do you you have any suggestions about your XML attachment and the SDFix application? Many Thanks in advance and Kind Regards!:)
[Galaxy S 4 General] vivelafrance:
Hello,

About the XML file, I wouldn't recommend replacing it. I just shared it because someone asked for it. When I first read this thread, that's what I did, I replaced the whole file, and then I had numerous issues with Wifi, Bluetooth etc.... So I formatted the phone and instead of replacing the whole file, I just changed the permission on the required folder as explained in this thread.

Unfortunately, I am not certain the i9505 file I shared is the exact same one for your i9500. I would think so, but I'm not sure.

As for the SDFix application, it works like a charm for me. I don't need to do anything now after I reboot my phone.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bokaboka:
Is there a way to get DSPManager.apk from CM11 to run on stock? I find it's the one app I really miss - it just makes everything sound richer and fuller/more immersive to me.

There's a DSP Manager in the play store but it's not the same thing and doesn't provide the same functionality.

I tried just copying over and installing the APK from the CM11 package (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2595464) - it'll install and run but none of the settings have any effect so I uninstalled it.

-edit-

Turns out this is the proper package to install : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2393138

I flashed it in stock (3e) recovery and it gave a message saying "signature verification failed" (or similar) but continued on to say installation successful, followed by rebooting, but afterwards, there is no DSPmanager app that I can find.

Do I need CWM or something else? Will it trip the KNOX flag?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
Potentially it could be that it was/is wrote for CM's base and framework therefore won't run on TW. However it may just need the correct permissions set and over wrote via a root explorer/editor.

CWM will trip KNOX yes if you install it.

Wouldn't it be easier to just install Viper? Same basic UI, except Viper needs to download a driver or two.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bokaboka:
I remember playing with both DSP Manager and Viper back on CM10 and at that time, I definitely preferred the sound coming out of DSP Manager. The viper features either were very subjectively indistinguishable to me (like bumping up sampling rates for flac files etc) or sounded like the gimmicky EQ changes that are available in the stock software.

In any case I may have to install CWM some time just to try to get it to install properly - is that definitely what's causing the package signature error when I try to install it from 3e recovery?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edfernandez2:
I've posted a thread titled "[Q] Help Restoring S-on And Unrooting" but looks like that's going no where. My phone is still currently rooted and S-off, I flashed a froyo based stock rom 3.70.651.1 and the phone recognizes the 4.24.651.1 OTA update. If I accept the update will the phone return to S-on and unrooted?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magnum_Enforcer:
Most likely you won't be able to take the update with a custom recovery in place. Having said that, if you were able to update, you'd lose root but you would keep S-off. You're better off flashing a stock rooted ROM.

Like WPA and WPA2? Thanks.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] AsGF2MX:
WPA-PSK definitely works, tried it with a Netgear D834Gv2 I borrowed from a friend (gave it back and have a Linksys WRT54GC on the way). Not sure if it supports WPA2-PSK but I suppose it should be do-able.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Beridor:
WPA uses TKIP for encryption (based on RC4 - the same algorithm as WEP) but with a number of enhancements (Hence most access points can be upgraded with firmware).

WPA2 is based on AES-CCMP - this usually requires an encryption accelerator, so particulalry in APs WPA2 has to be supported from the beginning (i.e. the accelerator chip needs to be present) you can't just upgrade the firmware.

I've been trying to find out if WPAv2 is supported on the Universal, can't see it as an option and can only assume that perhaps the processor is not up to the encryption job - any comments anyone.

Hey guys, looking for some advice. I recently updated from Jamal's 4.3 GE ROM to his 4.4.2 one on my i9505. Since I started flashing ROMs I've noticed my calls drop out now and then so I flashed modem from xxuemj5 to xxuemk9 (recommended by sammobile). I've yet to see if the calls are more stable but I have noticed that my h+ data is gone, I only get h now. Did I flash the wrong modem or miss something maybe...?

Will I get LTE on my carrier?

This can enable Band 4 LTE on the nexus 4. T-Mobile in the USA uses this for their entire current LTE network. AT&T in US uses it in select locations. Various carriers in Canada and Mexico are also using Band 4. Check the link above for your carrier.
