[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jackos:
On Android KitKat applications aren't allowed to modify the files on the SDcard. They are only allowed to place files in their own folders on the SDcard (/SDCard/Android/data/app_name if I remember correctly).

You can fix this only by gaining root access and modifying build.prop.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aricci:
So this means i cant save any file to my external sdcard?

rooting wouldnt be a problem.. but editing the build prompt..?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jackos:
Uch, I was wrong about the build.pro. Actually you need to modify "/system/etc/permissions/platform.xml".

Here is some reference:

Root access is essential.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arrosev:
You can create a folder if you use the file explorer that came pre installed on the z2, all downloads go to internal storage but can be moved to sd card with 'file commander' this is the only app that can create and move folders to the sd card, apps such as astro and es explorer no longer have the permission.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raducanmihai:
Maybe I misunderstand the problem, but PocketCast can download and save the files to SD card without any problem. So, if this one can...
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] illphone:
Yes PocketCast CAN write to the SD card, but only in its own folder, not everywhere. And it could write to a public folder (there are some defined in the Android SDK).

See Jackos post above...
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jackos:
Only software that is installed as system software may modify the files on the SDcard outside their personal folder. For example the build-in file manager.

File Commander (The built in file manager) is able to read and write to external SD. Use it instead of any other third party file manager app.

I've trying to look for these products although I'm not sure if they exist or not.

1) A MicroSD extension cable which simply uses a ribbon cable to extend the port, ideal is you want to use a case which for a phone which has a removable back.

2) An SD card which can essentially hold 2 MicroSD cards within it. A standard SD card adapter usually holds only 1 MicroSD card although I personally their is enough for 2 cards, I was wondering does it exist ?

If these products are out their, I would be grateful if you could provide details on how I can purchase them. I am a UK resident so would shopping be available. Thank You
[General Questions and Answers] LS.xD:
Why do you need this cable? If your phone has a slot for 1(!) micro sd card you will never be able to mount 2 sd cards as the device can't handle it!!! If you need more space just go for a bigger micro sd card :P

I have also install some camera app from Google Play, some wont run, on this I app have option to set camera for 8Mpx but image have only about 3328x1872Mpx, and that is weird because this is not 8Mpx.

The only issue with the Samsung is that it is an obsolete processor - it is ARMv4.

Intel have been using v5 for several users and v6 has either come out or soon will do.

This can effect support for some of the best apps. The main one I can think of is iPlay which is orders of magnitude better than any other media player - quality on my 2750 is far better that my v5 ipod. iPlay has legacy code to allow the old ogg / mp3 / wma support - but the later mp4 / aac / gapless support is only available with v5 and later.

If you don't know how to compile a rom from source, then you probably should start with compiling roms for phones that have a fully working cyanogenmod.

If you get the drill, then you could go on with compiling rom for this phone.

But take my advise, if you don't have embedded or Linux experience, then it will be nearly impossible, as the hardware still needs porting.

I recently updated my Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 to Android 4.1.1 (Official) and encountered a problem with my lock screen and power button not working, so after I did my research, I found that I needed to add 'ON' to the 'keystr' file in the IMEI folder or some other folder which obviously needed root explorer. I installed it and Found it giving me a blank black screen. I tried re-installing android 4.1.1 again but still it is of no use.

Hello. You might want to try using ES File explorer instead. It comes with Root explorer and much user friendly. To give root explorer access all you need to do is:

1. Open ES file explorer. press menu button. find "Tools" menu and press to expand.

2. Scroll down to find "Root Explorer" and press to activate, then it will prompt you to give access. grant it and voila.

Hi all,

Normally when you are wokring in a program (say messaging) and press thbe red end button you are taken back to the today screen but the program continues to remain open in the background.

Just wondering if any one knew of a software so that I can use the red end key to kill the running program and take me back to the today screen.

Will appreciate your comments and suggestions

Regards
[HTC Startrek] Ineedtoys:
This is intentional (as with all WM devices). Keeping the most often used programs running in memory allows you to switch to messaging / calendar / contacts etc. near instantly. If you had to load them from ROM every time you would soon find the delays very frustrating. Try killing the running programs manually with the Task Manager to see what I mean.

I've never suffered a slow-down from working this way, unless a program goes awry (which I then just kill with Task manager). So I just let WM work the way it was intended. But if you need a more convenient way of managing tasks, have a look at xBar.

I was testing it with a friend just now, and when I rubbed my fingers over the microphones on the earpieces they could hear the disturbance. This, to me, seems very strange.

Hi,

So, since Chromecast updated to 16664 i have been unable to use it in conjunction with Unblock-Us VPN service. This is only the case when attempting to play through chromecast, all other devices work as expected. I have tried routing my primary AP router to Unblock-Us DNS servers and i have also set up a dd-wrt router as a repeater and applied all necessary measures to preroute chromecast dns requests or simply block its dns requests. None od this has worked unfortunately.

The build update for 16664 stated 'dns robustness' which i figure is why this has happened. Does anyone know what this mean? Perhaps, if we knew this info we could figure out a work around.
