[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aniruddhdodiya:
Previously i was able to connect my phone with my TV via USB MASS STORAGE (TV was able to detect my phone as a storage device), i could access the videos & songs after connecting it through but now i can't do that.

What i think is USB Mass Storage has been disabled on core Android/CyanogenMod in favor of MTP and PTP as there is a problem with the way mass storage works. When you connecte the device to the computer then mass storage method needs exclusive access of the storage (intarnal extarnal sd card) and so it disconnects totally from the Android operating system running on the device. Any files or apps stored on the SD card or USB storage would be unavailable to android os when it was connected to the computer so to make Android os running smooth during that pc connection but I can't appreciate this as mass storage is really essential to connect it to inferior devices like TVs and car music player.

Anyone know a way to activate mass storage in Android? Running on Android 5.0.2/Cyanogen 12
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bouvrie:
Came to this thread because I'm looking for the same thing, yet for my Xperia ZL. I've found MTP mode unstable on my device (even with stock ROM) and using it as Mass Storage Device is the only reliable way to access my 64GB SDCard. So IMO +1 on MTP/PTP not being the only available USB modes out there! :)

[General Questions and Answers] tfj:
I customized a Samsung Galaxy Appeal phone, installing

root, clockworkmod 5.0.2.8 and busybox, using Odin (source:

Area51) some time ago.

Recently I decided to erase /dalvik_cache (thru recovery), as

this sounded harmless and I thought it might free-up some

space from orphaned apps.

Ever since then, I've been stuck at the CWM recovery menu - no

matter what erasing, re-flashing, rebooting, removing battery etc. I do, I always

end up at the recovery page. I've tried various remedies

suggested for 'boot-loops' and the like, including

'fix_permissions'. Maybe I haven't done the exactly-needed steps

in the exactly-correct order.

I have even 'successfully' restored from an earlier nandroid,

and also tried to re-install the original customization, which came close to working, but I still

end up at the recovery page. I haven't tried adb/fastboot yet because the 'quick-downloads' won't download.

Is something that needs to be erased, not getting erased?

One possible clue is the show-log: it appears to be very short,

ending after the 'missing extended_commands' line.
[General Questions and Answers] LS.xD:
Just flash the stock firmware via ODIN. Once done you can switch to a custom rom again.

SamMobile.com provides the needed firmware.
[General Questions and Answers] tfj:
Apparently, sammobile doesn't have it - it lists it, but but it's not available.

Also, neither adb nor fastboot can find the device (which is always in active CWM menu mode).

Update: adb (but not fastboot) now sees the device (as "recovery"); will experiment
[General Questions and Answers] LS.xD:
Samsung phones do not provide a fastboot mode but the download mode.

Which firmware do you need?
[General Questions and Answers] tfj:
I'm not sure what you're asking; the phone is a galaxy appeal sgh-i827.

Can you suggest what I can check using adb? There are a large number of shell commands available in /sbin and /system/bin,sbin,xbin. <bugreport> fails, apparently because dalvik is missing something.
[General Questions and Answers] LS.xD:
Have you any rom you can flash to the phone?
[General Questions and Answers] tfj:
I believe AndroidArea51 has a rooted, but otherwise stock, ROM.

I'm doing this at a public library, and would appreciate any tips

about how to download large files - are there Download

Managers - whether online, or Browser add-ons, or Android apps

(downloading to a phone over wifi would be convenient) - that can resume a download precisely, after 2 weeks of complete dis-connection (including reboots)?
[General Questions and Answers] tfj:
SOLVED:

... I'm back ... (boy, that took a long time).

A near-stock ROM for the Samsung Appeal (I think it's rooted) was available at the AndroidArea51 website (try different links; one - 'code.google'? - worked for me). It's 250 MB.

Once I had the ROM in hand, Odin fixed things in a flash.

In fact, on pressing Odin's 'Start' button, the flashing

took less than 10 seconds - apparently because it only

needed to re-flash the 21-Kb "cache.ext4.tar" file.

The phone was back to normal.

Then, as a test, I again ran the 'Erase Dalvik Cache'

procedure in the phone's custom recovery, and once

again, this put the Appeal into a semi-bricked state

(and was easily fixed with Odin).

So, the lesson here is, if you hear that erasing

'cache files' is perfectly harmless, that may not

apply to the Dalvik-cache; that'll need re-flashing.

Here are the steps I used to recover from a Dalvik-cache

erasure on the Samsung Appeal, using Odin3 v1.85:

====================================================

Install the Samsung USB-drivers for the Appeal

It's possible the phone's 'usb-developer' mode and/or

'unknown-sources' mode need to be on (in a semi-bricked

state, there's likely nothing you can do about this).

Turn off the phone.

Put the Appeal into Download mode:

Hold power and volume-down buttons until the phone

vibrates (about 2 seconds); immediately release buttons.

Read warning and follow instructions on phone's screen to get

into Download mode, or not (to back out of Download mode,

assuming you *aren't* in the middle of downloading anything,

press the power button down for about ten seconds, the phone

will vibrate and then (attempt to) re-boot).

Execute the Odin program; a 'box-screen' displays.

Plug the phone into a USB port; in Odin's screen, the

"ID:COM" box should fill-in with color and a number.

This means Odin has recognized your device.

In the Odin screen, the default 'AutoReboot' and 'F.ResetTime' options are the only ones selected.

Unzip the Romfile, in some easy-to-find folder.

The enclosed file that's needed is "cache.ext4.tar"

(and any files with nearly-identical names, like "cache.ext4.tar.a")

Press Odin's "PDA" button (*not* the "PHONE" button! - that

ought to be renamed "RADIO") and browse the filesystem until the

"cache.ext4.tar" file is listed.

Press Odin's start button.

... Success.

how do i update my modem to the NG2 modem.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaxOfS2D:
This started happening about a week ago... I didn't install any new apps in particular. I've attached screenshots to the post.

Screen-on time is a little below an hour in these screenshots.

As you can see Android OS and Android System are at the top of the list by a long shot. Android System seems "normal" in the sense that it has 58mn of CPU time and only 18mn of wakelocks (as reported by the built-in battery menu).

Android OS however kept the phone awake for 6h11 which seems like a lot. I'm not rooted, so I did the ADB USB trick in order to pull stats out of Wakelock Detector, and all of the apps clearly don't add up to six hours. Especially not the usual suspects like Google Services, Facebook, etc.

Diagnosis shows a LOT of system processes, and I'm not sure if that means 1) it's all good as far as user land goes (I don't have any weird apps) 2) there's a system process gone rogue for some reason 3) the cause isn't showing up 4) something else???

Does anyone have any idea what's going on?

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zionator:
I can only recommend rooting your phones and change roms or kernels.

TW is heavy on battery and if you change to a CM rom the battery life will increase dramatically.

I have rooted all my phones since the very first android phone ever made and i cannot own a non rooted device as the freedom of rooting is just to awsome to ignore.

Every time i have battery issues i ether change my rom or kernel and then my issues goes away...

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snobrdr2324:
Hey guys,

I'm on ATT but im thinking of getting a TMO Note 4 and using it on ATT. I've done my research and the TMobile Note 4 has all the bands that ATT uses for normal LTE, however I haven't figured out if it supports ATT's Carrier Aggregation bands or even if the ATT model does. The one thing I haven't found is if I will get VoLTE and HD Voice when in an equipped market using the Tmobile Note 4 vs the ATT one. I know that its a standard but I'm curious if ATT blocks non ATT branded phones from accessing it.

Any first hand experience or someone who knows this stuff would be amazing.

Thanks everyone!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShrekOpher:
If you use the correct APN and activate the settings in the hidden menu then yes you should get VOLTE on your Note 4. I have it set up on mine, but VOLTE isn't active in to many places for AT&T yet. I've only seen it working one time and not in my home town.

If you search this firm there is a thread about activating it on your phone.

And if you look here--> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2172110

The first APN should let you use VOLTE on the phone.

The only place I have seen it work was at the train station in down town Chicago though. Even in the rest of the city is not turn on yet.

As for the agrigation, it won't be rolled out abridged soon. And won't increase you speed when it does roll out. I think they plan on having it in 20 city's by the end of 2016... so most places won't see it at all on this device.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snobrdr2324:
One more question, I understand that I won't get updates with my ATT sim but if I put in a Tmobile pre paid sim can I download any updates then move back to my ATT sim? I want the TMobile one just because it's cheaper and I like root, I have no interest in putting any roms on it and i really don't want to update manually when lollipop is released.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShrekOpher:
No idea if the OTAs will work on a prepaid Sim. Of you have root you can flag the updates. The easiest way is with Odin. Is very simple, and IMO causes less issues than taking an OTA.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snobrdr2324:
Oh I totally forgot about odin, so when an update comes out from tmobile I can get the odin file and flash it through the program instead of taking an OTA without having to install a custom recovery? Where can I get the odin files, do I have to wait for someoneon here to release it or is there an official source?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShrekOpher:
Normally within a few hours of the release of the OTA you can get the files from here or from Samsung's page.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryans5:
Basically, I got a galaxy s5 on EE (a uk network) it was all good and fine until it got stolen, whoever took it knew what they were doing as I couldn't track it or look at any location history, they didn't get access to any of my stuff though thanks to my fingerprint but i'll get to the point.

my bank replaced it under home insurance (i wish they didn't) because they gave me a refurbished virgin mobile s5 and i'm with EE. so whenever I reset it on kies it installs all this virgin **** and different APN settings and so on. This has also now stopped me from getting any updates like lollipop, friends that have s5s all have it and i'm stuck on crappy kitkat with disgusting touchwiz. (i came from a nexus 5)

I went on sammobile.com and found an EE firmware (i tried putting a link in but it won't let me)

I tried flashing it and it gets to the last step "HIDDEN.img" and it fails. so from here i'm forced to reset it via kies and it puts all the virgin crap on it. is this because of the virgin csc? and is there any way i can make my phone a completely unlocked phone as if i brought it from samsung or something?

[General Topics] cognitivedissonance:
Did a few searches and didn't find any recent threads discussing Calendar apps in general, so let's get one going.

Discussion starters:

What calendar app do you use, and why?

Are there other Calendar apps you've tried? What ones did / didn't you like?

What features do you absolutely demand from your calendar app?

What features do you want from a calendar app, but can't find?

If you ditched a calendar app in the past, when did you ditch it, what app did you go to, and why?
[General Topics] cognitivedissonance:
In the past, I've tried a bunch of the top calendars like Business Calendar, aCalendar, Google Calendar, Touch Calendar, Pure Calendar, etc. Every single time, I end up coming back to CalenGoo.

CalenGoo isn't all that pretty, especially the menus and settings (which are quite overwhelming at first.) The setup is difficult, and time consuming, especially if you want to play with the colors, text, etc. Even if you don't try to visually customize the app, it still is far from intuitive, and really does take some time to figure out.

Having said all of that, the primary thing that keeps me coming back is the ability to set default reminders. I have not found this in any other calendar app that I've tried. I want to be send reminders of almost everything I put on my calendar. For me, the most effective reminders are text messages, so I set the default reminders to 4 or 5 separate texts (24 hours prior, 2 hours prior, 30 minutes prior, 10 minutes prior). This saves me a substantial amount of clicking when I'm setting up a new task. At most, maybe I'll need to add or subtract a reminder or play with the times, but not having to add 4 or 5 reminders, set the reminder times, and set the method of reminder is fantastic.

Other more standard features that I demand from my calendar are a month view and a month view widget. I also like the calendar to have a more complex recurring event thing like '3rd monday of each month', 'every other tuesday,' 'quarterly on the 6th of february, may, august, november', etc (you get the picture.) Finally, it must be able to sync with any subset of the google calendars I have added to the phone, and the ability to sync the other optional google generated calendars I've attached, like US holidays, christian holidays, etc.
