[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Halfast:
Same Problem Here...

I had the same issue when plugging my Droid Turbo into my Windows 7 machine. I'm afraid I don't have any advice for those of you on Linux, but if you have problems on windows where it's only showing you something about "Motorola Device Manager", here are the steps I took that fixed the problem for me:

On Windows 7 go to Start Menu > Devices and Printers. Under Devices you should see XT1254. Right click on this and select Troubleshoot. If the issue you are experiencing is like mine, then the problem was simply that the drivers didn't auto-install when the Droid was first connected to your PC and the troubleshooter should install them properly for you.

I have a sneaking suspicion that the cause is that Moto Device Manager software. When you first attach the phone via USB the computer treats it as an install disc rather than as a storage device. Perhaps those of you on linux might be having a similar issue, I hope this helps and I apologize if it doesn't.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] chazall1:
My wife just purchased a Turbo. I can not get the storage to mount on Ubuntu. This is the only phone that I don't have access to the storage. I do have access to the PMP. I am also receiving an "no permissions" when using adb. I search for adb devices, and no permissions? I have developer options enabled, USB debugging checked. I just tried 2 other phones with adb, all functions?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] adrynalyne:
To clear up some things:

Different OSes treat MTP differently. Windows gives access to the storage area, OS X requires Android File Transfer App, and GNU/Linux I have no idea.

chazall1: You have to authorize the computer on the device. The screen must be on and unlocked.

mattlach: It makes perfect sense why they do not use USB Mass Storage. Mass storage requires exclusivity to the OS, and that means the phone cannot use it. Which means, the phone crashes because the OS resides on the NAND you would want to mount and read. MTP is the compromise. Phone in the past that had access as mass storage had SD cards as well, either internally or added on. For example, the old school Droid Incredible had both an internal sd card and an external slot.

Probably already answered but yes you can. Just gotto my computer as yyou'd lookfor a uUSB device. And sorry aboutmiss sspells. Swift key sucks so much...... Omfg.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Astrobrewer:
Looks like they want us to use MTP or PTP. Mass storage is not an option. I found this from Verizon:

http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/knowledge-base-117349/

"USB Mass Storage feature is currently not available, however, files can be transferred to/from a computer utilizing Media Transfer Protocol (MTP)"
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] papstar:
Not to jack the thread, but when using Windows Explorer to access my turbo, almost all of the folders (music, pictures, dcim, etc.) show up as files. Anyone else have this issue?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] aklonowski:
According to Verizon, its not possible to connect the Turbo as a mass storage device. Epic fail in my opinion... U can bypass it by using google drive...
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] aviwdoowks:
True. Windows 7 is the solution
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] modemjunkie:
Epic fail, indeed.

Well, Windows 7 doesn't solve the problem. The main reason I didn't switch to an iPhone from Android was lack of access to the file system. There are other things on my phone I would like to transfer or backup to my PC besides the media that appears when connecting the device. I had no idea when I got this new Droid Turbo I would be pushed back into the stone age. No sd card, no removable battery and no access to the file system. Arrgh

And no manual sound off switch that can't be overridden by software.

:(
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Timoteo32:
Hey guys, I know this is an old thread but Google brought it up. haha

I was messing with this and I turned off the "Software Installation" option and all of the sudden drivers installed and everything seems to be working. I guess the software installer was overriding the normal driver installation or something.

Not sure it's a universal fix but maybe it'll help someone.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] TheSt33v:
Yes. Works fine.

EDIT: Oops. Looks like this is a zombie thread. I'm sure you probably had the answer to that by now.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Themes and Apps] StavrosSGS2:
Good evening guys.

I'm trying to connect the Tab with pc via USB with Side Sync, and it doesn't work. The app is the latest version, 3.0 both on pc and tab. I'm running Windows 7 , USB debugging is enabled on Tab I also tried without, all drivers are installed on pc. I even changed the MTP connection of the USB. The computer reads the Tab, SideSync doesn't. I also tried switching off WiFi on Tab, but when I run the app, it automatically reopens and connects wirelessly, I don't know if that is relative.

Any ideas? Anyone else faced the same problem?

Thank you.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Themes and Apps] unfugor:
i think sidesync only works from phones, so a tablet can only connect to a phone but cant be a client...

but there was an app on the front page recently which promised sidesync like functionality:

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manemzjum:
Hi

I've had my z2 a couple of days and the very first thing I noticed was the very very poor notification volume

While it's became clear this is a common problem and Sony don't seem to care

I have tried several of the mods available to enable stereo notifications to no avail

I'm now on a custom rom which I wasn't really wanting to do because it had the feature in its list Stereo notifications

But again they remain the same

Has anyone has a similar experience with this problem

I've tried the sound mod from olokos

And

MaZaGnGy

I'm now using eXistenZ ROM with stereo sound mod enabled in aroma

Still not happening
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] true2you:
Hello guys, been looking around but the same "solutions" keep coming back but are useless for me.

First the problem : what I encounter is that "stopped working" crash message everytime I launch the play store, or 3 times in a row when I launch an app that has to check something in the store when launched.

Though I tried the "clear cache and uninstall updates" from the settings app section, it allows me to launch the play store but crashes again after less than a minute.

1 important thing I noted : I had 4 apps to update, 2 small ones, which updated wthout trouble (when I was able to get into the store after clearing cache) and 2 heavy ones which made the store crash without updating right after the message "heavy app blabla prefer wifi over data to update" popped up.

So voilà friends, in advance sorry because there are loads of similar threads, but I was wondering if this may be z2 related or not at first (+the fact that i can't find anything even though I browsed through lots of threads). It has been a week since i'm in this situation.

All advices are welcome. Thanks in advance.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostofcain:
Are you on stock rom, if so rooted / unrooted?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] true2you:
rooted, stock rom, bootloader still locked so nothing has been flashed, only a couple of Xposed modules are installed and working perfectly
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostofcain:
First step I'd take would be to disable all xposed modules, reboot clear play store cache and data then reboot again and see if that makes any difference.

And? [MENTION=747339]true2you[/MENTION]
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] true2you:
Aaaaand you're thanked! Finally had the time and tryed with and without the modules, one by one and Indeed it was one of them:

--> "OBB to SD" is the module in question. Completely replaced it with "folder mount" (which is not a module but an app - had both at first) for the installation of apps to the SD card. Works like a charm, The play store works flawelessly and all the awaiting updates executed just fine.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] noyu:
Just bought an used SX66 tried the forum search function but no luck.

Anybody knows if the phone support ringtone saved as mp3 file?

Or is that any way I can convert the file so it will work with the phone?

Thanks
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] cafein:
Hello my friend, if you want to use a mp3 file ias a ringtone in your BA just copy the mp3 file to the my device>>application data>>sounds folder with your file explorer.then go settings>> sonds and notifications>> notifications>>incoming call choose teh mp3 as your ringtone.That's all man :)

[Verizon LG G3] RHChan84:
I have TWRP installed it has been good to me but now I'm having some issues so I'd figure the best thing to do is to completely wipe the phone and start fresh.

What is the best way to do that. I know I will lose root and TWRP but I have no issues with starting over again.

This is a rookie mistake by editing build.prop file without backing it up. My fault and I will remember this but trying to start over might be the easiest. I just can't find the answer if that Restore G3 to stock will get rid of TWRP or just deletes the user data. Luckily I have a TIBackup of all the factory apps and I reloaded them back on.
[Verizon LG G3] ohlin5:
I'm not sure if the "factory data reset" from the settings menu within android will or not, but the full "reset" with the .tot file and LG flash tool definitely will (I just did this 2 nights ago). Flashing a new rom via TWRP with a .zip file might be your easiest bet though lol.
[Verizon LG G3] RHChan84:
I did a factory reset the other day but still having issues so I was thinking of just starting over.

I thought about a new ROM too but I'd rather just fix it right the first time. Restoring my data is easy for me so no biggie

Sent from my VZW LG G3 (tapatalk)
[Verizon LG G3] budven:
couldn't another G3 owner sent you a copy of the build.prop file?
[Verizon LG G3] RHChan84:
True. This could also work if someone has a unmodified build.prop file for VZW?

Anyone?

My concern is if someone gives me a ATT or another carrier then I would be screwed.
[Verizon LG G3] rp201:
One of the purposes of installing twrp is so you can backup to solve problems like this. If your going to perform a factory restore I suggest you pull your sim card and do not connect to wifi. before restore also get copies to sdcard of stump.apk and titanium.apk to freeze system updates. Bump the device and make a copy and you will never have to restore to factory again with the lg app. You will always have a freshstart install.
[Verizon LG G3] RHChan84:
Yea and that was my mistake. I just forgot to do a backup. I'll be doing that once I get it sorted out.

[Nexus 6  General] old_fart:
Spotted this article http://www.phonearena.com/news/Court-ruling-Police-can-coerce-fingerprint-to-unlock-iPhone_id62374 and it is another example of the court system knowing what best for us. And there will be news stories of the insane or the bad ass criminals SNIPPING OFF A FINGER to get at the big money... I like all ten of my digits - thank you very much. Honestly, can you convince a manic junkie that you really have diddly squat in your credit union account when you are carrying around a $700 phone? And then all the top cops are crying foul and seeing red over the move by apple's and android's software incorporation of the new 'pass code' system as part of the os. You can be sure the top cops and the courts will negate that one too.
[Nexus 6  General] kyan~:
tbh if my work email on my phone (that requires 8 digit pin unlock) would be compatible with fingerprint sensor. that would be one thing i wouldve liked. buuut...i dont see that happening at all so, idc for it either
[Nexus 6  General] YYsn:
You could just refrain from using it but having the option would still be nice for a lot of people.
[Nexus 6  General] old_fart:
I read that those scanners 'mostly' work but then 'mostly' is not good enough for me. I'd be over reacting on the ten percent of the time when they go fubar. And I am just as grumbly as the next guy at constantly unlocking the phone with a swipe... Being old does that. But then I read somewhere the new lollipop os will allow you to toggle the lock OFF when you tell it that the current location is safe. Now there's progress. Apple will copy that too.
[Nexus 6  General] epphllps:
I can say from experience and not reading that android scanners really don't work that great and iPhone scanners work unbelievably well. Certainly can't sum them all up as the same right now. Apple is on top in the mobile fingerprint scanning world currently. I'm hoping it picks up on android hardware, too. I definitely like using it and/or at least having the option.
[Nexus 6  General] rydako:
Fingerprint readers on phones are just gimmicks, I for one am glad the nexus line hasn't gone the way of gimmicky features.
[Nexus 6  General] YYsn:
Apples version is the best right now, that's true but the Android version does work surprisingly well.
[Nexus 6  General] epphllps:
I wish more hardware would incorporate it. I've come to love it on my iPhones, but I'll be fine with my nexus 6 not having it. Scanners certainly have some conveniences when it can be used with apps and such for security. Though, on topic, there will always be issues when it comes to forms of security on a phone and the legal system.
[Nexus 6  General] lensgrabber:
It's a gimmick until you actually use it. The iPhone touchid is incredible and worked without flaw for the 48 hours or so I used it. Once you put in the original pin code at first boot I could easily unlock apps and the home screen with perhaps a half a second longer pause because of the fingerprint sensor. That being said, I would trust a pattern lock much more than I would a fingerprint sensor and with the VA judge's recent ruling I would be hesitant to trust having my phone locked with my fingerprint (except for first boot) ever again.
[Nexus 6  General] Sher The Love:
Yeah, I just hate hate when extra features are added in and I'm given a choice among options. Pin unlocks are stupid too. Oh and password unlock. Oh and those tapping passlocks. I always wonder why SMARTphones didn't just stick with being able to make phone calls. Anything else is just ridiculous. And don't get me started on texting. Such a gimmick. Why not just call?!!?
[Nexus 6  General] Keydogg1:
I too think the finger sensor is fantastic. It's the only feature on an iphone that I'm jealous of!
[Nexus 6  General] jamesrick80:
I love my fingerprint reader on the note 4 which works well 98% of the time for me and I love my fingerprint reader on the iPad air 2 which works 100% of the time for me....
[Nexus 6  General] x111:
absolutely disagree with this topic, and wish to have fingerprint protection in my phone to easy unlock, wakeup it.

something like Apple did or even better.

and Motorola did awesome spot for it on the back of their phones and nexus now as well.
[Nexus 6  General] marctronixx:
yep i rather fancy the fingerprint thingy. it works very well for me on the the one max.

i have a finger swipe that unlocks the phone and opens up a music player.
[Nexus 6  General] hotleadsingerguy:
Did we join the conspiracy theory website? Nobody is going to "[snip] off a finger to get at the big money". A person could far more easily be convinced to give up his or her password, with much less pain. Or they could just knock you out and stick your finger on the phone. I don't get this argument that a lot of people seem to make.

Either way, having a feature doesn't mean everyone has to use it. I don't use TouchID security on my iPhone, but I'm still happy it's there for a variety of reasons. It would still be nice to have something like that available on the Nexus. Anyone believing your nude photos, financial information, or felonious activities were safe just because you have a fingerprint scanner on your phone needs to do a bit more research on "How technology works". The people believing that deserve to have their stuff stolen.
[Nexus 6  General] SymbioticGenius:
Anyone who thinks data is safe or secure anymore hasn't been paying attention to the world recently. I bet half the people complaining about not having fingerprint scanning don't even encrypt their phones...
[Nexus 6  General] shadowcore:
Data hasnt been secure since the first human who learned to write a letter. Sometimes, its amaizinng how people are fooled into trusting AntiVirus apps or programs or apple's figer print sensor.
[Nexus 6  General] mb3030:
my wife has the note 4 and my brother has the iPhone 6+ and i can say for sure, that the Apple ID works better, but not that much better. The note works like 90% of the time where apple seems to work a bit more than that. Overall i think what's most important about the scanner is what it can be tied to. Apple pay + scanner is a good idea and if implemented similarly for google wallet (can it? my wife doesn't use wallet and i didnt try) i could dig that too.
[Nexus 6  General] _MetalHead_:
If it's implemented properly, a fingerprint scanner can be amazingly convenient. I use TouchID on my iPhone 6, and really wish my Moto X and N5 had it too. It's seriously awesome.
[General Questions and Answers] Johnnytheepic:
My rooted galaxy s4 (i337ucueMK2) running 4.3 jellybean on At&t would have stellar signal for about 5 minutes then lose signal for about an hour. I bought my S4 and rooted it about a year ago and started having this problem approximately 4 years ago. I contacted AT&T and they couldn't find why. Then I booted into recovery and wiped the cache partition, the problem still persisted. I then got the stock modem.bin and flashed it, and that worked for about 12 hours but the problem kept on persisting. Any ideas? thanks

I have modded the SystemUI.apk of my SM-T311 using icons similar to S5 but still in a white background. Maybe some would like to use it for their tabs, too. :)

This is only for a deodexed rom running the latest Kitkat 4.4.2 firmware. Download and push into your /system/priv-app folder. Give it rw-r-r permission and owner as root.

This is my first post so I really cannot post a direct link. I attached the .apk here, together with some SS.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] camroidv27:
Sadly, I had root on a previous firmware, but an update that happened while I was at work took that out when it updated to the 5....3 version (and now the .4). I've read everywhere around here that there is no way to gain root back using any current software solutions on the Fire TV, mainly because we cannot connect to the device via USB.

I have a Male A to Male A USB cable that I bought for something completely unrelated.

I saw a post here regarding the use of a cable, and that it gained the user Fastboot. So, in trying I disconnected the Fire TV power, connected the Fire TV to my laptop via the male to male usb cable, and plugged the power back on.

View attachment 2996173

This presented me with this screen:

View attachment 2996174

My laptop reported in the device manager (Windows 7), "FireTV" with no drivers loaded. I manually used the Android ADB drivers from Google, but was unable to connect to the Fire TV via Fastboot or ADB while in this mode. It seems that at least, the Fire TV is not in USB host mode while at the white Amazon Logo.

I then tried the Alt+PrtScn+i command while the Amazon Fire TV color logo started to appear, to get the device into recovery (from this post). I was successful getting to this screen:

View attachment 2996175

However, when I attached the male to male usb cable, nothing showed up. I even set the Fire TV into "apply update from ADB" which then said it was looking at the USB for an update. Sadly, it seems that in recovery, the Fire TV is now in USB Host mode, and will not connect to an external device.

If all of this information is too duplicate, please remove this post. However, I feel that someone with more know how, or even who could point us in the right direction of drivers, might be able to use this information to help re-root or even downgrade the OS for those who are now stuck due to updates. Who knows.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbox:
Fastboot will work with the usb. Unfortunately because the bootloader is locked, you can't do anything with it. Both fastboot boot and fastboot flash are disabled. The kernel that the OS and recovery uses is in USB host mode as you saw. Further, I'm pretty sure adb is disabled in recovery to begin with. Long story short, there is nothing you can do.

Hi,

I'm planing to get a fire tv, root it and put a USB HD with movies into it to play on Kodi.

The FireTv will be connected with a ethernet cable to the network.

Questions:

1. Once I root it, will the firetv still get it's firmware updated?

2. Will I be able to access the USB drive (connected to the FTV) from my desktop?

3. Does the included remote works well with Kodi?

4. Any other things I should be aware of? things that don't work well, etc...?

Thanks all!
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyder:
1. yes. Browse the General forum here, it will explain the good, the bads and the don't do or you won't have root anymore.

2. yes, if you run a ftp server on the aftv. Few other ways to access it, but if you are looking to just move movies over to it, then ftp would be good enough.

3. yes

4. Read the forums here before you do anything and you won't be surprised.

I can use xbmc on the AFTV.

I have red that the AFTV doesn't connect to external devices connected to the USB port. Does that mean that I won't be able to watch the movies on the external HDD even if I use xbmc?
