[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRVLR30S:
SD card not mounting...

(links on quote removed cause i'm a new user)

Hello Bruno, wondering if you still monitor this... but anyway, I have tried and succeeded in doing the memory repartitioning but, after this, no matter what, the sd card never mounts (samsung 16gb neo on the microSD slot). I can force the mount on the recovery utility at the boot, but after when booting normally I have the extended internal memory but no SD is detected.

Is there a detail or trick I am missing?

Regards

Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bgcngm:
No, there's not trick at all. The sdcard should be mounted fine. Could you please paste here the contents of your /system/etc/vold.fstab so that I can check?

sip/voip and non-functioning microphone?

i realise this is a discontinued model (thread, etc), but I do have a question for a ROM developer for this phone may be able to easily answer.

It concerns SIP stack, VOIP. I cannot find any sip/voip settings options on this phone (flashed with the 3.0 ROM). I have loaded a 3rd party app and it *seems* to work apart from one issue....I can hear everything from the other end, but the party at the other end cannot hear me. It seems that the microphone does not work when making sip/voip based calls from *any* app I have tried. Is this a known issue (it seems there are questions out there) and is it something that can be easily sorted ? Thanks if anyone can provide a quick pointer. If not, thanks for reading - even at this late stage. Peace and best wishes.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lost101:
Have you extracted all of the firmware files to 'platform-tools'? Check file-names for sparse files match what you actually have on your HD.

What is the Model and firmware version?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rhino12:
Okay I know the Galaxy Nexus should have 32GB of internal storage.

So I was installing a new ROM to try it out and decided to clean the phone out and start fresh. So I pulled everything off the phone to my PC. Then flashed the ROM, minimal G-Apps, and the kernel. Then I look at the file manager and I have 5.04 GB free of 28.1 GB. What gives?

I wiped all the caches, prior and there was nothing other than the zip and TWRP on the phone. Is there something else that I should be doing, like formatting the internal memory prior to flashing or something?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Maximinus I:
Did you come from a 4.1.2 ROM? Sometimes they make an admitting extra folder in emulated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rhino12:
Yes, I came from the old 4.1.2 but that was about 7-8 ROM loads ago. I do have a "Legacy" folder in the "emulated" folder. Any ideas on how to re-flash to get rid of these remnants?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sixxdog_uk:
Hi Everyone ,

I'm new to this whole Sony Xperia thing being a new convert from the iPhone , so forgive me if this sounds a bit odd.

I've just enabled and activated the Find 'My Xperia' utility , that on the face of it is like iPhone's 'Find my phone' , the only difference and correct me if I'm wrong here , whats to stop me turning it off in the settings (assuming i have no pin on the keypad - ok so i'd deserve it if that was the case). But it also seems easy enough to reflash my 'lost' phone with a virgin stock firmware and then thats the find my xperia utility disabled , as it needs to be active on the phone as well as online. IOS stops you doing this by locking the phones repair and activation unless you unlock it with your iTunes account.?

Does this seem a bit of a half hearted effort or am i missing something?

Thanks guys.

Sixx
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deerhurst:
I can and have pushed updates to my iPhone when I was playing with that and had the phone locked. Could have been a fluke but still should have never happened. I have also flashed ios firmwares that were no longer signed without SHSH blobs including betas without being a dev.

IMHO, lock your phone and see what it does. I do not use those apps because the iPhone one was wasted on me and if my phone is not in my hands or pocket we probably have larger issues.

You may need to log in with your PSN ID to unlock the device. This would be similar to using an Apple ID to unlock the device.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sixxdog_uk:
My Xperia Utility

Hi there,

Thanks for the reply , I tried it out by registering and locking my handle remotely , and as I guessed reflashing with a stock ROM wiped any trace of it and I was unable to trace it.

I'm assuming it's this way as the handset does not need to talk to an authentication server like the iPhone's do prior to activation.

Was interesting to do though.... Bored now. :)

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingvortex:
Yeah, My Xperia and similar solutions are useful, but if a determined and/or technically clued up person steals your device then you almost certainly aren't going to be able to retrieve it that way. They're more of a deterrent to the opportunistic thief than anything.

I have Cerberus and have it set to email me images via the front camera on incorrect unlock attempts. My phone also automatically switches over to a secure lockscreen when away from my home wifi. The power menu also don't display in the lockscreen, so makes it difficult for someone not in the know to power off my phone.

If my phone goes missing for more than an hour and I receive any notification of incorrect unlock attempts, then it's being wiped remotely and a message to call my other line is displayed to return the device. If that fails, then a phone call to my provider to get the phone totally blocked is the next step.

Original Post here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2760895

I have downloaded the backup zip file, extracted it, copied to the sdcard, booted into recovery but when I attempt to restore I get a "MD5 Mismatch" error.

I've read through quite a few pages of the original post, but all I see is a lot of people saying it worked for them.

I am running 4.1.2 rooted, CWM 6.0.4x.

Can someone shed some light on what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,

Mike
[LG Optimus G Pro] c5z06.mike@gmail.com:
SOLVED

I found the issue on page 8 of the original thread. I read up to page 6 before I figured I was the only one having the issue and posted.

It was of course the fact that the files were extracted into an additional subdirectory and I was not pointing the recovery to that extra sub-dir. Once I moved the files up one level the restore went perfectly.

In brief, changes are dynamic system bar. And..lots of source updates. Possible fix for video mic volume in this build.

p.s. this release is not tested as of yet. So please be aware of this. I do not own the device and so desparey need help testing this bad boy so feel free to pm me if you can offer up some help. We can add you to our very own spirit testers google hangouts for communication purposes thanks. And as always...~ enjoy

Hi, there!

Does this rom have the data drop (null) after sending/receiving a MMS?!?! It's a common CM11 bug in some S5 variants! Many thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Ave666:
Guess I haven't got MMS problem. 900f BTW
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] puk3n:
i am not sure.

perhaps try it out and see if your results vary? not sure what else to say at this point..
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] jomaca9:
Hmm! My variant is the 900W8 (kltecan - However, I'm not from Canada). I've tried every CM/AOSP ROM, without success... Everyone produce same problem. Moreover I'll try this later. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] puk3n:
what happens when you try to send Mms?

also you are aware that this is for GSM variants only...
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] puk3n:
screens

i put up a few screens for those requesting them, note they are from my S4 so i thought i would mention that before someone elese beats me to it :)
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] jomaca9:
Hi there!

Yes, my KLTE (CAN) is a GSM (G900W8) in a active GSM network. Actually, when I use a Touchwiz based Rom the device number (variant) changes to G900F (in Alliance ROM), stayed as W8 or simply as G900 (in XtreStoLite), but everyting working.

So, about the MMS issue, when I send a MMS or receives one, the data (internet) just goes "null" (No changes in data icon in notification bar or Tiles to let you know you have NO connection). If you open any app that uses internet, just says you have no connection. Even the browser says: "net::ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED"

I've tried many things like changing APN's manually (however, the phones always recognizes the right APN's at first boot).

I've deleted manually the APN's not corresponding to my Carrier at "apns-config.xml". I've checked if my carrier is the active one at "telephony.db" (Phone/Messaging Storage - com.android.providers.telephony) and is ok. At sight, everything looks "ok", for exception of some tables at System ( at "settings.db" - com.android.providers.settings). In line number 124, "apn" (name) have as value: "CMWAP". CMWAP is China Mobile; I'm not with that carrier. However, if I change the value, it won't work, and if I restart the phone, CMWAP comes again.

Short-long-story, Data hangs when I interact with MMS. To be "fixed" I need to turn airplane mode On and Off.

Any advice or trick can be helpfull, thanks for asking.

This is just the ROM editing the build.prop

You can change it, but that isn't neccesary..
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] LuigiBull23:
Format your card.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] BHermes21:
Even though every other ROM can see it?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] LuigiBull23:
Yes. This ROM probably doesn't support EXFAT so I would format to FAT32 and see if it appears then.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] BHermes21:
ExFAT is the format I am using. I have a 64 gig card is there any disadvantage to going to fat32?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] LuigiBull23:
You will be capped at 4GB per file and will not be able to exceed the file size limit. That's about it.
