[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sbdags:
The way android security works you need root permissions to change the permissions to write to the card. Google have decided to do this I assume to protect apps. Currently there is no way around it unless the app gets the sdcard_w permission authority, and I assume that is handled through SELINUX which is evil.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] primetechv2:
Under the KitKat and Lollipop specifications, applications are locked to specific directories in a manner almost identical to the way iOS devices are. It seems to be a really good comparison.

Sent from my Galaxy S5

I agree in sentiment about what Google's done with Android 4.4+ with jailing their SD card apps. If a flashlight app can have has access to your call history, recent apps, contacts, calendars, the Internet, and all of your internal storage, it can wreak havoc. But if you're just trying to play your SD card's Bandcamp music with VLC, it shouldn't be locked out of the folder just because it's in a different place... and no set of permissions can solve that problem, sans getting your hands on a PC you can install your own drivers on(!) or voiding your warranty(!!).

[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ayan15:
Yes just rename the SD card.. Try it even without formatting the SD card you can rename it in Windows..

There is a much easier way to write to external SD card that doesn't require root and it works 100% of the time. If you're still having issues, message me or something and I'll give you the details on how to setup full write access on your card on Android 5.0
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thrasherbill:
Worked for me on 5.0.1. Using ES and a sandisk 64g

Haven't had time to root yet and getting tired of downloading Roms, unzipping then connecting to my pc, pull them off to transfer back to the ex card.

It would seem that es file explorer cannot differentiate the external as a second drive until it has a name, mine is now ExSD1. Formated in NTSF. When ES asked for the root name I just clicked on the new one.

Haven't done a lot but the few things I moved to or deleted from the ex card went smooth with no more error message/force closing
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kanekanekane:
This works. Only ES File Explorer can write to the SD card.

Other apps still have problems, this will do for now, until either new firmware allows SD writing or I have too root.

This is a shame, but better than nothing.

Would formatting the sdcard to NFTS slow down the overall read/write speed of a card?
[Sony Xperia ZL] kwaille:
Hi all!

After playing candy crush for 1/2 an hour (don't blame me :D),my phone started to act strangely.

Very hard to unlock and seems like somebody remote touch everywhere on the screen...

Opened it,checked all cables and ribbons with no luck.

Even factory reset with flashtool do not work.

The problem is also in recovery,so I think it's hardware related.

Maybe i could buy a new digitizer but I dont want to spend 50 bucks,wait days to receive it (with no guaranty it will fix it).

I saw on youtube videos the same symptoms but no solution seems to fix this...

Any ideas?Thanks!
[Sony Xperia ZL] kwaille:
After a reboot,touchscreen si partially working in some places.

Phone is stable but is difficult to use.

I noticed that if i launch a multitouch test app,then it starts to ghost-touch everywhere...

Maybe i'll try to buy a digitizer and test it appart without unglue the screen.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lheebamy:
I have just bought an unlocked Xperia Z1 second-hand.

Seller said it sometimes goes out.

Model is C6903.

When it's on charger, phone doesn't go out. Strange thing is that it charges normally for about 6-7% regardless of the actual battery level, and after these few percentages it jumps to 100% even though some seconds ago it could have been at 17%.

This is strange in itself already, but wait.

When I get the phone off the charger, it acts normally. Battery starts discharging, the amount depends on the use.

After 6 minutes of 1080p Youtube, the battery is down to 92% from 100%. Well, it's not a good performance, but still it works.

And then, all of a sudden, it goes after around 8-10 minutes of battery time, no matter if I do something or not.

After going out, it is stuck in a bootloop, because it cannot sense enough charge in the battery to start. If i put it on charger, the bootloop remains. I have to do a hard reset using the red button next to the sim slot. And then, i put it on charger, offline charging starts, and it says around 55% battery. I start android (still on charger), and now it says 3% when booted into the system. After a restart (still on charger) it goes up to about 60%.

I don't really know what the problem can be. I have tested the issue several times, with sim in, without sim, with Sd in, without sd as well.

I have reflashed the original rom, tried 3 different versions (4.2.2 , 4.3 and 4.4.4), no use.

Tried different, custom kernels too, no use. Tried custom ROMs, no use.

Tried calibrating the battery with a program (deleted the batterystats.bin), no use.

Tried charging continously for 8+ hours, still the same happens.

I have tried different battery programs, they all said battery has good health (also Sony built-in test).

Battery programs said that while charging, battery is at 4.23V which is okay. When it's off charger, it slowly goes down from 4.2V to around 3.8V, and sometimes even below (the lowest I could see was 3.1V).

Battery specs: 3.8V and 3000mAh if it helps.

I think my battery could be defective, but it can also be the mobo. What should I do?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MobileBritain:
Have you tried a complete factory reset and or reflash of firmware?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lheebamy:
Yes I have tried factory reset, and as I said above I have reflashed the firmware several times
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UltraWelfare:
I would have said to you to calibrate battery but you already did it...

So it must not be a software problem...Probably a hardware problem(I don't think the mo/bo has a problem but who knows :confused: ).Try sending it to service and probably they will replace your battery.

I don't think there is a major problem with your device :cowboy:

hi all

i have a bt headset (HP)

after i paired it with my hermes, the only way to connect to them is going to comm manager-bluetooth settings-devices, click the bt-headset icon and choose "set as wireless stereo". is there a simpler way to do this? (much like the regular headset ised for phone calls, which connects automatically after the first pair)

thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] margatenj:
after you set up a "pairing" ... when your pda's bluetooth is on, turn on your headset ... and then press the "answer" button, just once and it will sync in a few seconds.

This is how it works on my Motorola stereo headset.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] simonk12:
works, thanks!

I have the same problem as the topic starter, but I have a different headphone I have the Gear4 BluPhones.

I've tried the same, pressing the answer button after I turn the headphones on but that does not do the trick.

I run Black 4.0 WM6 on my Hermes..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] basilrsa:
Htc Bh S100

I have the same problem with my HTC BT Headset.

The Wireless Stereo connects automatically, but the Hands Free has to be refreshed each time a new connection is made .

My Nokia HS-12W connects flawlessly.

Therefore it just depends on the hardware design IMHO.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] st3v3:
oh sweet thats heaps easier, i was doing the same basilrsa :S

thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] tabashir:
I had the same problem as simonk12. After reading the post from margatenj I thought if hitting answer would trigger a device to setup hands-free, perhaps using one of the music controls would trigger wireless stereo. On my Sony DR-BT30Q headset, if I turn on the headset, it connects straight away as hands-free, if I then hit play on the headset control, it connects as wireless stereo and the icon appears.

Running FuN_KeY_s_ROM_WWE_1.2.0 if that helps.

Jez.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] TBCompDesign:
SWEET!!!

I've confirmed this also works with my Sony MEX-BT2500 Bluetooth Car Stereo. I was seeing the same thing happen. My Handsfree was connecting as soon as I started the car, but the A2DP I had to go to the bluetooth settings and re-set the stereo as my Wireless Stereo.

tabashir was right in my case, I had to press the Play/Pause button to invoke the A2DP to reconnect.

Thanks a bunch for this answer, I've been driving myself crazy about this!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] CJSnet:
I have the Pioneer DEH-P9800BT Bluetooth Head Unit in my car, which supports stereo BT music streaming from any A2DP device.

I also have the HTC TyTN II Mobile which supports the same.

I have paired the two devices, and on the initial pairing successfully played music from the HTC through the Pioneer. When that worked, the BT Audio icon appears in the title bar of the mobile (headphones with a musical note in the middle).

However, after switching off the car and later returning, I have issues:

It is impossible to reconnect the BT stereo music playback, unless I delete the Pioneer device from the list of BT devices within the mobile phone, then pair them again. Nothing else seems to work. Simply, I just want all music to be routed through the Pioneer whenever it is in range of the mobile.

Are you able to solve either problem?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] bravesparrow:
Same problem

My Dopod 838Pro and my Nokia a2dp headset work fine when they are initially paired, but the only way to make them work together after disconnecting either unit, is to delete the pairing and set up the pairing all over again as above.

A further issue for me is that my headphones work fine for outgoing calls, but incoming calls are routed to my handset speaker.

I have had the Nokia BT a2dp headset now for three days and am at a loss after much experimenting with all of the suggessions earlier in this thread.

I am a new memebr and would be so greateful for any advice. Apologies if this is a problem covered elsewhere.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] CJSnet:
I am about to make you very happy...

The default solution is to go into your Bluetooth settings page on the music device where you see the Pioneer BT Unit, and (on Windows Mobile 6) hold the stylus down ('right-click') then 'Set as Wireless Stereo', when you get in the car. It should now connect back to the stereo. That is a pain though an many screen-taps.

The other solution I found is to download freeware program A2DPToggle, which provides a one-click function for this on the WM6 home screen
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] bravesparrow:
Thanks so much!!!

You

have

made me very happy.

I do not mind all the screen taps, I am just so relieved that my headset finally works, both with music and sending calls.

One further question: My BT headset is now fine for music and ordinary calls but it still will not do activate when I am talking on my SIP application (Fring). Has anyone sorted this one out yet? Thanks again.

Best regards!!

Thanks for finding that! Just installed a brand new Kenwood KDC-BT838U and had this problem. A2DP Toggle was great but there was one feature I wanted that it didnt have. With command line options you could turn a2dp on or off, but there was no toggle option. So I wrote another one, A2DPSwitch. Description here:

BT to laptop

Hello,

i have an issue with the BT connection to laptop using active sync.

when i establish a connection to the laptop first time, all is ok,

but... the HTC HD2 BT not connect automatically to the laptop when i go and back close....then i need to establish connection again. how can i tell the BT to connect automatically to the laptop every time?

thanks.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] DrJ76:
I have just found out this small app and it seems great for me. Maybe it is too late to ask this favour, could you please do another executable that toggles bluetooth on and a2dp on, and in second press toggles both off?.

Your current executable works great for me, but I have to turn BT on previosly, it would be great if the executable could do both things.

Best regards and thank you very much for this great idea.

Hello all. I have recently bought an HD2, and I have tried this BT trick I prepare for the diamond, but doesn´t work in HD2, Anyone Knows something similar for the HD2, to enable A2DP automatically without having to enter BT config screen?

I have tried enabling BT first in the HD2, then turning on the headset, and pressing play, but it connects with hansd free profile, snif....

Whenever I turn the screen off and on again, at the bottom of the screen it prints "Volume: 100%" or whatever the notification volume is on. This also happens at other times, but I cannot see a pattern in them. It is fixed after a reboot, but after a while it starts again. It is extremely annoying.

I'm not sure if I got a dud phone or it's a problem I caused but since I've gotten my phone about a month or so ago, it's been really glitchy. The screen rotates (even completely upside down) even with the setting turned off, the screen turns on randomly, "car mode" launches randomly, the headphone jack randomly doesn't work, apps misbehave. The problem has slowly gotten worse and worse. I've tried roms, multiple factory resets, I just don't know what could be causing this. Any ideas?

[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockfordRocksAHD:
So, recently I was given this device after a friend had followed a few guides on here to try and attempt a sim unlocking for T-Mo. However, they gave up before they could fail too hard. However, once I had recieved the device, I had to order a new sim from VM myself, so that I can use the device. Upon receiving the sim, I noticed that the phone DID NOT AND WOULD NOT detect that a sim had been inserted. I grew worried and decided to run a .exe RUU flash back to stock. When the phone comes back, it doesn't ask for a sim at all. Instead, the setting for Airplane mode is greyed out and says "turning off." I have left the device sitting there for hours, just waiting for it to return to life, but to no avail. What should I do?!?!
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FoxyDrew:
Have you tried calling VM and activating the device?

I'm pretty sure the sim is just for LTE connectivity, and that the phone is still CDMA and requires an activation.
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockfordRocksAHD:
That's the very first thing I tried, and to no avail. The main problem lies in the fact that the radios are off. It tried to do self activation multiple times and it panics and fails. Later, I will upload screenies and a video of the issue to clarify the best I can
