How To Get Windows 8.1 To Recognise USB Mass Storage On Your Phone​

I have had the problem for ages that when I connected my Samsung Galaxy GT-S5360 into my Windows 8.1 PC nothing happened - Windows 8.1 simply refused to recognise the device - not even anything in device manager - nothing - nada

However it would recognise the phone if I set the phone to download mode - but I want to use my phone as mass storage

Well after months of trying I finally found a really stupid solution

Solution

Install the usb drivers for your phone as normal

connect the phone to pc via usb cable (nothing happens other then a few beeps as normal)

now plug in any usb dongle that you have already installed on your pc - like a usb wireless mouse dongle

suddenly windows detects the phone and you can now set your phone to mass storage from the phone status bar

Every time you want to connect your phone in mass storage just plug it in then plug in the other usb dongle after

That's the question. Update downloaded ok but I did not install it as I did not want to lose Root access. I have not seen anyone who used Geohot's Active Root to root their phone get the OTA installed.

I have a ton of stuff quarantined (what happens to them? Do they get released/un-quarantined?)

I have other programs that only work with root access such as Ti Backup and AdAway. Will they just cease to function?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] popfan:
It don't work, we have known that since the test 4.3 came out
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] APeter001:
Well I guess it will just sit there uninstalled until we get a simple root then that works. Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devo7v:
You might want to be careful with that. From what I've read in the S4 forums after some unknown amount of time the update will install itself. The only known way to prevent it it to freeze wssync with Titanium Backup. If it never prompts you to install the update you're probably fine, but if it does I'd look into the TiBu option.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SA5UK3:
Hey guys I'm having trouble installing CM-Remix 11. The rom is amazing, I installed an older version and it worked amazingly, but after I turned it off and turned it back on (I simply had it sleep for 3 days, never turned it off) the screen would go black after a couple seconds in the boot screen. The phone is not turned off, 'cause the LED light still flashes when charging and it vibrates when holding the power button.

I tried installing the newer versions, but now the ROM wont even install. It goes black on the boot screen like before. I've tried factory resetting, formatting the entire phone and sideloading the ROM but nothing works. When using the ROM it was super smooth and had awesome features so I'd love to be able to use this ROM. I have been able to install other ROMs, regardless if they are 4.4.x or 4.3.x.

Any suggestions?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] hellomoto_25:
My 8125 under bluetooth settings and Comm ports only has the option of "New Incoming Port". In the text above it says there should be New outgoing and New incoming.

I am using the Qtek 2.17 ROM with the Cingular customizations from summiter. I remember there being both ports before.

Is there a reg edit that will help me out?

Thanks guys.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Marvie:
I also had just a option for a new incoming port, but after pairing my carkit (Nokia CK1W) and bluetooth gps there was also the option for a new outgoing port.

So may be you have to install a bluetooth device before this option comes up...

Thanks to the creator of this fantastic rom,

Allowed my Tab had a new life.

I have only one problem:

The video recordings show problems such as spots and a poor picture.

Any solution?

Thank you!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] upconvert:
Does this happen on still images as well? Can you try a third party video camera app?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] filipe_m:
Does not happen on still images

What third party video camera app can i use? I can not find any that seem appropriate.

Another thing I noticed is that when I use the camera or gallery, after some time it crashes

thank you

Can someone please help me. I attempted to root my wifes i9505 (already done my own with no issues). It failed during flashing cf-root (CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.tar.md5)

I had no choice but to reboot the phone and now it's stuck in odin mode - Firmware upgrade encountered an issue! Kies won't connect to the phone for the recovery either? What should I do, please help!!!

EDIT: Doesn't matter, tried a different usb lead and re-tried the process and it's working now. Very strange, could have only been the lead I was using

Mate, I have 3 (THREE) sammy's galaxy phones [connection cables], I had two wife:D and, to be honest, form all of that, only one wrks without problems ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misterjunky:
re: try this.

Download the cf-auto-root again, just in case it was a bad download.

Then power off the phone then power it back on into download mode

and close Odin, re-open odin and place the cf-auto root.tar file into

the PDA slot in Odin.

Then plug usb cable into the computer and phone and be sure that the [COM:xx] lights up & start odin.

Chances are good it will flash without errors.

Good luck!

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tim132:
Yeah thanks. I've flashed my phones ever since having the s2 and never had a problem as I research properly before doing anything.

I used the same downloaded cf-root for my own phone so knew that wasn't the problem. I obviously used a different lead for flashing my own phone.

Once I used the same lead on my wifes phone it worked fine. Just had to put the phone back into download mode and run through the odin process again.

I guess if that hadn't have worked I would have to flash a new rom using odin. Wouldn't have been ideal, I hadn't backed up any data - I needed to root before I got full functionality with titanium backup.

Anyway all worked out fine in the end. Hopefully, this post will help someone the future.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Bleezle:
So I have been having problems connecting to the 3g networks here in Argentina with my VZW phone. I found a i9300 that matches my phone color here, but the LCD is black. The person said it was green at first and then went black. How do I know if it's the LCD only and not something more complicated? Is there a program I can use to test this, and if it's just the LCD can I swap them out without problems?

Hey all,

I have been searching the forums here and have seen some posts about dual booting available on Variants GS4s but not for T Mobile USA M919. Does anyone know if this has been successfully done on this phone or can/is someone making a file to make this happen for the M919?

Please advise,

Much thanks!

Yes you can do it, search for "dual boot patcher" thread.

Much thanks for the link! So to be clear this will work on my M919? Also did you try this dual boot out? It seems a little complex but I think I can do it with some time. Another question if you don't mind I am also in hunt of how to swap my internal memory with my external memory card or somehow combine them, any thoughts? I should tell you that I am rooted on stock TW running 4.2.2 and don't want to go to 4.3 as of yet but I know that 4.3 has apps to sd built in on this os.

Im on cleanrom so my volume hasn't been modded.

I come from a nexus 7 2013 that didn't push out as good a sound stock as this note does.

If I added the Viper mod is it really that much better? Louder isn't always better because it usually brings distortion.

Would love to hear some thoughts on this.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] ¿Will-it-Blend?:
Yeah, Viper increases sound and quality with no distortion. I like Vipers speaker optimization and Extra-Loud settings. Try it for yourself. You'll definitely hear the difference.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Bsmith0731:
Viper isn't confusing to set up?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] ¿Will-it-Blend?:
Not at all! In fact when you first load the app it will just display the 'Beginner' settings with just a few non confusing audio options to get you started. Of course you can change it to 'Intermediate' and 'Expert' if you want more settings.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Bsmith0731:
Is there a specific version for the note 10.1 2014?

Nope. Viper automatically installs the correct drivers for your device. I'll post a link to the apk when I get off work.

This is a quick hack app I created to get something like fast charge on my tablet.

I tested it on Quallenauge's [ROM] [4.3.1] CyanogenMod 10.2.

!!! I don't know if it works on any other ROM !!! (Don't expect any updates unless I need it too)

Of course it required ROOT.

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. MIGHT DESTROY SOME USB PORTS.

You need to activate it every time you plugin a usb cable.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Themes and Apps] Macaronibox:
What about new CM 11?
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Themes and Apps] jojojoris:
I don' t know. It might work.

I also don't think there will ever be an update since I completely destroyed my tabled last week.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Themes and Apps] Fusseldieb:
Please, continue your tool. I will test on my tablet and say if it works or not :)

Many people with this tablet have this slow charging issue. (I too, because my original charger has disappeared... I am using a wall charger with 3A, but the tablet keep displaying "Slow charging"...)

Please continue :good:

Thanks

Finally...

Finally! A quick and easy way to have bi-directional clipboard functionality between my desktop/laptop and my mobile devices. Also very easy to install and everything works right out of the box. This is the way to go!

Can't wait until more features like sending images, audio and/or videos files. Keep up the good work!
[Android Apps and Games] d-fader:
The extension and app have now been updated and encryption was added. The keys used will be saved in the extension and the app using an AES encryption algorithm. The messages will also be sent with AES (different salt and IV's though). The passphrase is only stored on the device and endpoint, it will only be used to encrypt and decrypt the messages and will NEVER be sent over the internet.. This feature was added to improve privacy.

But, i can do that with Pocket, Evernote, Keep!!

[Android Apps and Games] onyxogen:
This is really great. There's one thing though I'd like to have since years. Do you know the app aosp wifi keyboard? Basically it's an IME that gets its input from another client (Web page). As you have implemented encryption i wonder if it's possible to do the same thing via Internet connection. This means that the chrome extension needs to send every character on text change and a special ime needs to receive the character.

Maybe there are other solutions that I'm not aware of? If not, do you consider to add this to the wish list?

Is there any way to upload the Chrome extension itself somewhere?

Chrome Webstore is blocked at my office...
[Android Apps and Games] Kallb123:
Ye, seems pointless if you can't share things to the app. Most of the time you can't directly access the URL or whatever in an app and have to use the share menu. Someone said Keep can do this already, I actually had Keep installed for ages and didn't think to use it to share from pc to mobile :P
[Android Apps and Games] Andrija231:
Keep can't do it, I also have it.

Thank you so much for your app!!!

[Android Apps and Games] BabboDemonio:
Thanks for your app! It works really well on Nexus 5!
[Android Apps and Games] Kallb123:
Anything I put in Keep on PC appears on home screen of Android.

Anything I put in Keep on Android shows up on PC. Actually, it shows up anywhere my account is logged in, not just one PC. I can also use the share buttons in Android apps to put straight onto Keep.

This is still a cool app :) Keep requires you to trust Google, which I understand why some people may not :P
[Android Apps and Games] Andrija231:
Thats nice then. Waht you use on pc for keep?
[Android Apps and Games] Kallb123:
Keep can be accessed as a website or as a Chrome app (slightly different to an extension). If you use the Chrome app nowadays it can act as an actual desktop application.
[Android Apps and Games] d-fader:
First of all, thanks for all the great responses and feedback! I'll try to list all feature requests in this post, including the answer to what I want to do with it :) The app is like pushbullet, I didn't know it existed, so it can be thought of as an alternative.

Do you mean something like an external keyboard? Like everything you type in the Chrome extension will appear right at the current cursor position on your Android device? If so, then yes, I think it could be made and I will add it to the to-do list!

I have started tutorials on FF add-on development (I have no exp. yet for those), so yes, it will be available soon!

Yes, please give me a few days, the code is a mess now, I will refactor and then I will release the extension zip too (here).

This is a TOP priority. As said, this app is still heavily in development! So yes, sharing and also letting other apps receive messages will be added to the app soon!

Thanks again all for the great feedback! It makes me want to really push development forward!

Cheers!
[Android Apps and Games] Kallb123:
Good to see you reading and responding to feedback :) This app seems pretty great and once it gets full two way messaging (via the share menu) I'll definitely be using it :)

Just a little status update.

I'm working on connection issues with the XMPP server. If you disconnect and connect often, it might happen that messages will not be sent/delivered. This happens e.g. when you switch between 2G/3G and WIFI. All my tests indicate I have resolved this issue. The client will now also show when it's disconnected or connecting/authenticating. Furthermore, it will react on network status changes (e.g. when internet is enabled, it will reconnect immediately).

There is also a problem with the encryption in combination with long texts. I think it has something to do with UTF-8 encoding. I am investigating this issue and expect it to be fixed tomorrow.

I've implemented the first 'share' target. You can now share 'plain text' to message beam, which will be sent to the cloud devices.

I will have a fresh APK ready tomorrow (hopefully) or at least Friday.

Thanks for your support :)
[Android Apps and Games] slayer29719:
Great but crash on start up

Hey! This app looks really good!

But the APK sadly crashes as soon as I start it. Hopefully I can use it soon!

Soon as the app starts I get a white screen then the error message than it has stopped.

Samsung Galaxy Ace

Android Gingerbread 2.3.5

Nice app by the sounds of it. :)
[Android Apps and Games] d-fader:
I guess that has something to do with the use of an API call that is not supported on 2.3.5. I will try to reproduce in an emulator. Hold on :)
[Android Apps and Games] d-fader:
I'm almost finished with the code for a next release, I'm just struggling with one more thing. What I can tell is that I gave the messaging system a complete overhaul which will drastically increase the reliability and speed of the service (it now sometimes doesn't deliver messages). Also, I've increased my VPS resources so it can handle all connections. I hope to have an APK / extension ready tomorrow!

So please hold on a little while longer!

More changes include:

[CHROME EXTENSION]

- Changed chat setup, a room will be created now (in stead of separate chat instances), this will greatly increase the message delivery time

- Fixed decryption bug (when encrypted data had more lines)

- You can send a message with CTRL+ENTER now

- When pasting text in the message text-area, the send button will be enabled now

- When connected, you can now see the availability of the Android device

- Small visual improvements

[ANDROID APP]

- Added connection status (when not connected and authenticated, you see what the app is doing to restore connection)

- Added first 'share' target (for plain text, meaning plain text can now be shared, which will be sent directly to the end points)

- Messages which cannot be sent (due to connection issues), will be sent whenever an internet connection becomes available.

- App will now automatically reconnect directly when an internet connection will become available (in stead of waiting for a certain amount of time)

- App now works on 2.2+ (previously it crashed)
[Android Apps and Games] d-fader:
Alright it's done! Your Chrome extension will be updated automatically. To get eveything working, you NEED to update the APK too! I've also linked the (not refactored) Chrome Extension zip, so you can import it in your Chrome if it's in developer mode.

If all is updated, the messaging system will be super-realiable and super-super-fast! :laugh:

Works perfectly!

Hey! Whatever you did it now works perfectly on Gingerbread!

Took a little bit to make the encryption work as disabling the encryption was not working what-so-ever. Was just easier to put a phrase in! Thank you for this app! I will be using this a lot!

Few things I found:

When you get a notification and you click it, it tries to make you open it with random apps.
[Android Apps and Games] d-fader:
A little update.

First of all, I'm having big issues with the XMPP/apache/mysql combination in combination with all the users. There are roughly 750 active sessions and the server is REALLY REALLY slow. My guess is that it has something to do with my configuration (the server is a blade server with 2 cpu's and 4GiB memory, so it should easily be able to handle those numbers if you ask me). I've disabled the messagebeam.tagpulse.nl domain, so unfortunately you can't use the app anymore (for now). I will figure out what is wrong and get it up asap again! Please keep the Chrome extension installed, so when I enable it again, the tests will commence immediately :) Thanks!

The firefox addon then. It's hard, very hard and it's very different than Chrome, *BUT* I think I'm at about 85% of it (most things work), so please hold on a little while so I can figure everything out and hopefully re-enable the server within a week!

Thanks for your patience!

EDIT/BREAKING NEWS: I found the culprit!! The server is online again (and messaging should work again). Besides that, in the Firefox addon I made a full XMPP registration + connection and am able to send messages, so this was a really good day after all :) First Firefox Addon (pre-alpha) release scheduled in about 4 days. Stay tuned!
[Android Apps and Games] Kallb123:
This is working great :) I see my concerns about it were unfounded :P the speed and push notifications make it useful in comparison to Keep.

I'd like to see better support for mobile->desktop messages, i.e. proper links and not just text. This is less important on the desktop end though as copy and paste is much easier :)

Thanks for the great feedback people. Sorry it took longer than expected, but I can finally bring you guys some GREAT news:

THE FIREFOX ADDON IS WORKING AND AVAILABLE! ( sorry, had to shout that out ;) )

The extension is exactly the same as the Chrome extension (though the underlying code is completely different). Hopefully it'll all work!

There is one issue I found though:

After you register your device for the first time, it seems that the Message Beam popup does not recognize it. If you experience this, just restart Firefox and it'll show up :) After that you can add, remove and switch devices without a problem, I just wanted to release now :)

From now on I will focus on feature development again, I have some great ideas for the Android client, so please hold on for that! On my device the app sometimes still loses connection, I will investigate that further too.

Happy firefoxing :)

Get it here: http://goo.gl/2AnEA3 (you have to install it manually in your addons for now)

BTW. the addon button is in the lower right corner of the firefox screen :)
