[AT&T LG G3] dmw_4814:
I just came over to an LG G3 from a Note 3, which I had upgraded to KitKat. Nothing on the Note 3 (Titanium Backup, Root Explorer, etc) would write to the external SD card. On my G3, they all write to the SD card without any problem whatsoever; I can use Root Explorer to rename files, for example. and I couldn't do that on my Note 3. I did nothing to the G3 except root it, and install/change my system font (oh, I installed G3 TweaksBox too, but had write access to the SD card prior to that).

Anyone know why I have write access to the external SD card on the G3, when I didn't on my Note 3? I thought this was a problem across all KitKat devices.

I'm just curious as to why this might be, that's all.

Thanks,

Dennis
[AT&T LG G3] dmjlabelle:
Weird. I had to install sdcard fix from the play store to get access from third party apps.
[AT&T LG G3] GroovyGeek:
It does not do it for me. I have tried

a) SDfix from the store

b) This module

c) Another Xposed module (Handle SD storage)

So far they all fix the SD card access for things like camera but TiBu stubbornly refuses to budge.
[AT&T LG G3] tcdos:
I don't mean to grave dig but I'm having the exact same issue as you. I've tried the manual fix where you edit platform.xml via a root explorer and the SDfix apps from the store. Still no luck. TiBu still says insufficient storage and no folder write permisssions.
[AT&T LG G3] hwong96:
Go to Settings/Apps/Titanium Backup and clear cache. Open TB, select menu/preferences/backup folder location and press detect!. With the manual fix or apps, TB should now detect the external SD card.
[AT&T LG G3] tcdos:
It can detect the external SD card, it just can't write to it. Since it can't write to it, whenever I try to perform any batch action, an "insufficient storage" error comes up. I've attached a screenshot.
[AT&T LG G3] hwong96:
Use the back key to jump to external SD card. See pic below. You want sdcard1. Press on sdcard1 to select. Storage/emulate is internal sdcard.
[AT&T LG G3] tcdos:
Ok, I think you must be confused with what I'm trying to say; TiBu recognizes the external SD card, but cannot write to it because of the lack of the permission. This is an issue in KitKat, as I've said I've tried the manual & app fix but TiBu won't recognize the fix. Since it cannot write to the SD card, it returns on a "insufficient storage" error on any batch action that I perform...
[AT&T LG G3] hwong96:
I'm not confused, you are. I'll let someone else help you. Your screen print shows you are using the internal sdcard. Is your external sdcard write locked?
[AT&T LG G3] tcdos:
Yes my external SDcard write permissions are locked. I've added the permission to platform.xml by doing this:

but it still doesn't work. I've also tried patch apps like the SD KitKat fixer which was successful BUT TiBu does not recognize the changes. My platform file has the permission present yet TiBu refuses to recognize it. Sorry for being so blatant, I'm just extremely frustrated.
[AT&T LG G3] hwong96:
Did you reboot the device after modifying platform.xml?
[AT&T LG G3] tcdos:
Yes, multiple times...
[AT&T LG G3] screwyluie:
in your picture it clearly does NOT recognize the external SD since 'external_SD' is not listed under /storage

the problem isn't the permissions fix, the problem is the phone doesn't see your sd card
[AT&T LG G3] Phoneguy589:
I used kitkat external sd card patch app from the appstore and it fixed my issue with not being able to backup to my external sd

From today I have the same problem when installing Marschmallow 6.0. I did change the platferom.xml by adding <group gid="media_rw" /> , but didn't work... any other idea? Thanks
[AT&T LG G3] craniohm:
Found this in another thread, forgot where. I used the second option, think it is also a good solution, when going back to Lollipop:

"For TB, there is a solution. You need to go the the Backup Folder Location choice in Preferences. Look for the "Storage Provider" option at the top of the dialogue box. Tap it and choose "DocumentProvider Storage." Storage Provider should now show "External Storage." Navigate to the parent directory of your TB backups and choose it. You should now be able to select your TB backup directory. (The "Use the Current Folder" choice should be active.)

There is another solution that TB offers, copied and pasted below from Item #31 on TB's troubleshooting page:

"There is an elegant way of giving TitaniumBackup write access to the external sdcard, without having to forfeit security .... Since the time of Android 4.3, Google uses a very clean security-solution by giving apps that request write access to external SD, permission only to their own folder – not to the entire card! In order to get TitaniumBackup to work without compromising security, you can simply create a folder on the external sdcard, using the following folder-structure: /storage/extSdCard/Android/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup/

If you already have existing backups, move them with a file-explorer from their current place to: /storage/extSdCard/Android/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup/ Lastly, go to the preferences of TitaniumBackup, choose “Backup folder location” and choose the above specified folder."
[AT&T LG G3] jocazmaj:
I can confirm that both ways work on LG G3 6.0 Marshmallow!

Thank you very very very much. :good::highfive:
[AT&T LG G3] John.Massiass:
Thank you, it worked like a charm for me :)
[AT&T LG G3] Brazen4:
No go here unfortunately. Boost LG G Stylo (LS770) 5.1.1 rooted. Tried everything here and then some. Everything else except Titanium BU Pro can work with my external 32gb SD card, so I'm thinking it's a config file somewhere for TB. No matter what I select in Preferences > Backup Location, it is stuck on "[External Storage]/TitaniumBackup". even if I create a folder in TB and yes, the "use current folder" option is highlighted and functional. I've uninstalled/re-installed to no avail. Did the Android/data/titanium folder thing too. I did have this issue before, but I went through the one procedure [right menu/left menu] and it took. Next boot (I think) it was FUBAR again. Tried the internal memory too (emulated SD) and still stuck on "[External Storage]/TitaniumBackup". I'm exhausted! I'll post some screenshots if I can.
[AT&T LG G3] RBEmerson:
Do (from original post):

Edit the file at:
system/etc/permissions/platform.xml
to add <group gid="media_rw" /> in the following location like so:
<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >
<group gid="sdcard_r" />
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
<group gid="media_rw" />
</permission>
Save the file or copy it back to the original location overwriting the original and reboot the phone, [STRIKE]TiBu will now show folders on the external SD card as writable. [/STRIKE]

The last comment is not always correct.

After doing the above, go to Settings->Applications-> Application Manager. Slide the display sideways to Downloads. Scroll down to Titanium Backup. Tap it. Tap CLEAR CACHE. Reboot. End of problem.

I recommend using the app FX (for File Explorer) to do the above.

Note that you must mount the file system in read/write mode. You must get the spelling and format of the type-in 100% correct. You must not disturb anything else in platform.xml. Doing so may or may not render you phone unusable. Once the mod is completed, get out of RW immediately.

[Xperia Z1 Compact Themes and Apps] alone_in_dark:
It's 82 as i remember... It should not make ur phone hot,coz it's boosting only headphone.. Nothing else.. See if any app is running background...

And for ur info.. i listen music when i am on journey.. After boosting, i've listened music for 1 and half hours continuously.. It was fully normal..
[Xperia Z1 Compact Themes and Apps] melvisnap5:

Reduce volume?

Hi!

I'd like to know if it is possible to reduce the volume more than it allows now? Cause when I am listening to music at home via headphone in a quiet environment I noticed that the lowest option is even too loud for me. Is there any solution to that? It would be nice to add more steps to the volume control. Maybe with a build.prop edit? I don't know. What i know is for example the iphone has normal control for the volume and you can really set the right level for your ear.

Please help!

[Moto X Q&A] frenchie007:
I have a 32gb locked bootloader att moto x.

I've got it rooted on 4.4 with write protection off, and i've safestrapped a rooted 4.4.2 stock rom to it.

Recently I wanted to upgrade to 4.4.3 with the Krypton rom, so I was cleaning up my sdcard at the same time to get some more space. I guess I made a mistake somewhere along the line because shortly after deleting a couple files, my sdcard came up blank and I lost all my files. The thing is, my phone still shows up with about 15gb of used space, and I know that the rom and system files themselves can't take up that much space. Furthermore, if I go in the google play music app, it's able to play certain songs that were previously on my sdcard, despite it seeming empty to me.

Is it possible the files were relocated somewhere? Kind of like what happens when the sdcard files end up in an 'emulated' folder? (it's not the case here, at least not in /sdcard)

I appreciate your time and help!
[Moto X Q&A] Bhargav4591:
Look for a folder called LOST.DIR in the emulated storage.

There are chances that your lost files are present there.This usually happens when you mount the SD card as opposed to connecting it to a PC vai MTP mode.

Do post your findings!
[Moto X Q&A] frenchie007:
Unfortunately it was really wiped clean. It was done via MTP mode. Nothing other than the android folder and download folder, which were both empty.

What I don't understand is what kind of file on my sdcard could have erased all others when deleted? Could it be safestrap related? I'm quite certain the cable was nicely plugged in and didn't move.

And why is some of my music still present? :/
[Moto X Q&A] Darth:
Pretty sure you're flash was corrupt.

I would flash 4.4 again with fastboot and as long as you don't erase anything with fast boot.... I bet all you're files turn back up.

I'm not sure what special steps, if any you need to take with safestrap and that.... But refreshing stock will likely fix it.

---------- Post added at 12:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:18 PM ----------

Of course you'll need to do the whole root and safestrap stuff again after.

---------- Post added at 12:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:19 PM ----------

Here is a guide with a return to stock section. In fact, since you are on 4.4....correct? You could flash 4.2.2 post camera update... Not pre camera.... Cause I think you need that version to root again....

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2603358

Basically whatever you did to root and safestrap, you need to do again.
[Moto X Q&A] frenchie007:
The thing is, I've been running this rom just fine for at least 2 months now... And I've connected it to my pc using MTP in the past and it worked without a problem, so I don't see what would be causing one now. That being said I may RSD back to post camera just to make sure, who knows maybe it will fix this. I'll probably do that tomorrow and I'll be sure to post my results. In the meantime if anyone has a less time-consuming method feel free to let me know!:) haha
[Moto X Q&A] Darth:
Won't hurt to try. ?
[Moto X Q&A] frenchie007:
Just a follow up: I wiped data via safestrap recovery and installed Krypton. Works fine and now my storage shows about 3 gigs of used space, so my sdcard files are lost for good. How it happened is still a mystery! All I can say is be careful what files you delete from your sdcards!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] StoneyJSG:
Hello all,

Can someone tell me the pros and cons of updating to 4.4 from 4.3? Like what are the big differences? I am reluctant to update because I know once I do I can't go back to 4.3 so I don't want to update and then be stuck with something I can't do jack with. I already get excellent battery life on 4.3 by being rooted (I only have to charge the phone every 2-3 days). I am wondering does it lock the bootloader or implement anymore/other security measures from AT&T or Samsung? Can it be rooted with towel root or did they patch the kernel? Thanks goes to the persons that help me decide.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
Try enewman17's stock rom. This'll give you a good idea of what to expect. As with every new update, some claim it destroys their battery, but that doesn't seem to be the case for most. In general, its just a better performing build overall. Smaller memory footprint for one thing. But like I said, try the rom. Kind of a test drive before fully updating.

Towelroot still works unless you have the I747M and update to NC2. (It still works on NE6 though).
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] StoneyJSG:
I have the sgh-i747. Won't flashing a ROM trip my warranty bit? I just got the phone about a week ago and would like to keep the warranty in tact.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
Yes, it will trip the bit.

Best I can really tell you then is to read the kk discussion threads. Also you should be able to find a list of the more significant changes on Samsung or AT&T's support sites.

I just can't remember all that was changed myself or id tell you. More location settings I think was one thing...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] StoneyJSG:
Okay thanks man! I will check out the KK threads. If anyone else wants to chime in here, go for it. The more I know the better.
