[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] NotATreoFan:
Some of you have likely figured this out, but after spending a few minutes poking around ES File Explorer Pro and being unable to locate my 64GB SD card, I finally found the location.

From the root of Device Storage, go to /storage/. Your name will likely vary, but mine was found as /storage/6D31-DA1D.

Having an SD card in my work S5, it was much easier and just required looking for ExtSDCard under /mnt/.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] chipworkz:
Just to add, the same applies to a SD card attached using an OTG adapter as well. Not as much need to use OTG now except for those times when you just want to transfer something over quickly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] king3opobn:
Or you can just hit the drop down list and choose it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] NotATreoFan:
That is an option too. However I got used to having all the side menus collapsed and didn't even think of that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] king3opobn:
This drop down is faster
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] KurrentUser:
6D31-DA1D looks like the assigned serial number after the card is formatted. If that is true, then everyone will have to look for a different hex number for their card.

BTW is ES File Explorer allowed write access the SD card without root?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] NotATreoFan:
First time you try to write to the SD card, you get prompted to follow some steps. From there on, it can write to the card without error. Created a test folder and file on the root to verify.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] KurrentUser:
So I gather that Marshmallow didn't inherit the Lollipop "Apps can't write to SD card" rule. That's good news. I prefer to transfer files from my PC to the phone via WiFi. Never made sense to have to use two file managers to copy files to the SD card.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] NotATreoFan:
They are restricted by default, but you can grant them access if they've been updated to know how to properly request it. Google made that change awhile ago, but most apps or OEMs never implemented it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] LuigiBull23:
Root Explorer force closes on me upon tapping "select" to write to my SD card. Any input on this would be greatly appreciated.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] glensta:
Root Explorer might be looking for root access? Dunno. Try ES File Explorer maybe
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] LuigiBull23:
I don't believe it needs root to achieve this. I've done it before. It's just not working now for whatever reason.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] NotATreoFan:
Have you used it on unrooted 6.0.1 yet?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] LuigiBull23:
We don't have root yet so yes I've tried it on stock 6.0.1
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Ashevar:
This happened to me after running Package Disabler, also complete inability to write to SD card with ES, MI, or any other file explorer. Turns out Package Disabler flags External Storage(com.android.externalstorage) as bloatware and I had to make sure I unchecked and enabled it again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] king3opobn:
You can change storage location also
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] NotATreoFan:
I was referring to testing on another device with 6.0.1.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] LuigiBull23:
No since the S6 hasn't received the update yet.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] NotATreoFan:
Just tested on my phone and got the same FC after tapping SD Card. Root Explorer likely needs an update to resolve it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] LuigiBull23:
I don't think Root Explorer is the issue because no file manager app I've tried allows me to write to the sd card.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] NotATreoFan:
ES File Explorer works fine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] LuigiBull23:
Yes. I literally just tried it but you responded right before I could edit my last post.

My ASUS lappy did an update to Windows 10 today, and I've been having odd wifi drops ever since. The lappy says that there's no networks available, when my phone says there IS, and only rebooting resets it to solve the problem. Once I reboot, it will see networks normally. The Centrino 6150 net card in the lappy says it runs off the inbox Windows 10 drivers, so I'm at a loss.

Any ideas? Any information I can provide to help, please let me know. Thanks, everyone!

I have sony xperia sp c5306, i bought it with virgin mobile canada, i'm currently on android 4.3 firmware 12.1.a.1.207 and I wish to downgrade back to 4.1.2 which firmware should i download?

Thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ceyhun242:
after flashing artmod sense 7 and rooting htc m7 with unlocked bootloader and s-off, red development build warnings bothered me and I downgraded the latest stock firmware of 7.17 to custom 7.15 I found on xda that resolves red warnings on booting. However after that firmware downgrade, on ampere I see now max 300 ma compared to 800 before and most of the time I receive slow charging notification saying "use original adapters" meaning that even with orginial cable and wall, phone recognizes it as usb.

second issue is that even though I reinstalled and cleared app data, on ex kernel manager the cpu governor automatically switches to powersaving mode and undermines the total performance of my phone at irregular intervals.

if kernel is the problem I dont know how to revert it back to stock any idea?

if it is the firmware how can I keep using the most recent firmware wihch is 7.17 now and still lose the red warnings on bootup?

thanks everyone..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Medical Cola:
I have quite the issue with the phone, i can't flash anything with Odin.

Here's what I did that got me into this mess and hopefully you guys can dig me out of this hole.

The phone was running 4.3, I rooted it using Kingo, then flashed CWM Recovery. When I attempted to reboot it it gave me a screen saying "System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone..." So, I went into the recovery, opened Odin and tried to flash stock.vzw_root66.tar and got this:

<ID:0/004> Added!!
<ID:0/004> Odin v.3 engine (ID:4)..
<ID:0/004> File analysis..

<ID:0/004> system.img.ext4
<ID:0/004> FAIL! (Auth)
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

So is my phone toast or can I fix this, im still a rooting noob, this is only my third phone ive messed with. :eek:

Edit: if i reboot the phone after being in the recovery i get "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please use Software Repair Assistant & try again"
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
You should honestly read through the guides on here. 4.3 is locked and you can't run a custom recovery. Root 66 is a stock rooted 4.1 build. You should be happy it isn't flashing because it would hard brick your phone.

Look in the development section and read the 4.3 sticky, Everything you need to know is there and should know for future reference. You have a soft brick, so follow the soft brick repair guide with a 4.3 rom.

Ragazzi,

sto girando forum su forum per capire una cosa che per i guru è semplicissima.

Vorei aggiornare il mio HTC TyTn HERM200 con le bellissime ROM che si trovano su questo newsgroup, ma sono fermo su questi quesiti:

1) come posso salvare la mia ROM per ripristinarla nel caso l'aggiornamento non funzionasse?

2) dove trovare una ROM completa di tutti i software in ITALIANO.

3) se questa rom non esistesse posso prenderne una in INGLESE e trasformarla (non so come) in ITALIANO?

4) In alternativa come posso aggiungere alcuni programmi ad esempio (Arcsoft, HTC home ecc.) alla mia ROM e crearne una personalizzata per il mio TyTn?

Mi dispiace di non poter scrivere questa richiesta di AIUTOOOOOO in inglese ma avevo paura di non essere abbastanza chiaro.

Grazie a chi avrà la pazienza di aiutarmi.

Lg g4 thermal paste mod

This is my guide for applying thermal paste or pads to various parts of g4 to help disapate heat better.

i personally use Arctic silver About 12 dollars american at any radioshack.

1st of all I am not holding a gun to your head, Im not forcing anyone against there will if you are not comfortable tearing down your phone,

dont!!!!!!

In recent events of loads of g4s bootlooping.

I want to say i have a 10/15 g4 hardware rev 1.1 have had it nearly a year and so far no loop.

Prob wishful thinking but I want to say this may be why helps get rid of the heat off the old girl.

3 screens later, 2 camera lenes, and a leather back. still rooted on zv6 So up yours LG.

So lets get started

1st remove back cover and in my case i have a cell phone repair kit with the screw drivers and prys. Remove all the screws in the frame assambly. There are 11 of them.

2nd carefully pry the rear frame apart from the screen assambly.there are no wires to disconect yet. Do not force her apart she will come apart when all the clips are released.

3rd once the backplate is free there are 3 wire clips 1 on the camera one next to it for the light sensors and down near the bottom rite under the battery.

4th you can leave the camera module in just move the three wires slightly to the side and carefully remove the board flip it over and again carefully pry the big tin away from the board.

5th im a little eccentric so i applied the paste to all 5 chips underneith the tin just a very small dab goes a long way see in pics attached

6th when putting the tin back on make sure its lined up on all points.

this is also a common ground connector on most phones.

From here just reassmble and enjoy!!!!

Whole procsess took about 20 min

Before I started I was at 45 Celsius now after moderate usage to check temp 29 celsius.

Ive run the piss out of this phone. sold it twice and got it back wireless charge.

Shes a soldier.

Can you clarify - did you put the thermal past *only* between those chips in your picture, and the little metal cover that goes over them? I can't tell if you also put it between the metal covers and the frame of the phone?
[Sprint LG G4] TheMadScientist:
Yea i did a small smudge on each then i put the cover back on arctic silver is a pretty nonconductive paste i try not to put it on everything all sloppy but ive never had it liqufy and run any where either some people say it does i didnt put none on the frame or cover.

Im not familiar with this layoit either knowin my dumb arse i put it on the wrong chips but i went through my g3 and actually done a bunch of them in small doses of coarse throught the whole board
[Sprint LG G4] TheMadScientist:
Kingfattys diagram is rite i couldnt find a diaram of the board so im partially wrong. I will update tonight ill do another tear down and take more pics

The proscessor is on the backside. Thats why i ask for help to im goin off a old setup.

Ofcoarse it never hurts to coat more chips all produce heat. Ill label the diagrams and do a complete guide rework tonight on my computer
[Sprint LG G4] TheMadScientist:
figured id brink this back up on the thread list

so

Bump
[Sprint LG G4] TheMadScientist:
dont know if its helped guys.

but so everyone knows i havnt had a bootloop issue on my g4 yet to date again knock on lgs synthetic leather.

there has been a lot of discussions of heat being the primary cause for the failed solder joints and maybe this helped maybe it didnt

What kind of temps are you getting when running antutu on tz_sensor13/14?
[Sprint LG G4] TheMadScientist:
Let me dl ot and run it i use 3c toolbox and max is usaually 45. Ive seen 55 or 60 but highly rare. I was using vr and charging together lol
[Sprint LG G4] TheMadScientist:
Im runnin the test now
[Sprint LG G4] TheMadScientist:
Here they are
[Sprint LG G4] tbob18:
That's quite good. How long was that running?
[Sprint LG G4] TheMadScientist:
7 or 8 min
[Sprint LG G4] tbob18:
Using the stress test? Wow, I'm definitely going to add thermal paste. That's a good 15-20c lower than mine.
[Sprint LG G4] TheMadScientist:
now if u look i pasted almost every flat chip on the front and back under the tins and everything i paste everything from my phones tablets ps3 ps4 pc even the heat sinks on my stereo

and i seem to have decent luck with my electronics so far.

ive replaced the screen on my g4 3 times now sold it 2 or 3 times and bought it back people loved it so much they went out and got g5s and v20s

dissambly is very easy straight foward other than no twrp and keep busting screen i love my g4

i just always keep a back up device just in case. of coarse i have one of the older ones so im stil on zv6 and rooted to the gills
[Sprint LG G4] TheMadScientist:
just noticed your from chi town

born and raised in Gary IN moved to tn when i turned 18 now im in vermont the mountains of green state lol
[Sprint LG G4] tbob18:
Yeah, I really like how the G4 feels and the camera is nice. But temps are crazy. LG seems to have really failed on that front, not to mention how it's all locked down now.

My G2 has been great for that last 3 and a half years, replaced the screen 3 times, battery is now failing though. I'll prob grab another screen as it's just a great, reliable device.

Nice, I head over to the Indiana dunes area a lot in the summer, some nice places over there. :good:[

--

What do you get in antutu btw?
[Sprint LG G4] TheMadScientist:
id have to run it again didnt even pay attantion

mines loaded with loads of crap on it im sure it was pretty low

ive never been one to really go off benchmark scores just numbers to me like ive got a old one loaded up youve got a new one probly still fairly clean

im more into actual real life usage fluidity

i know mine has no lag doesnt overheat and is still fairly smooth running

still handles the gear vr pretty damn good
[Sprint LG G4] tbob18:
Yeah, I'm not one for benchmarks either, but it can give an idea of the health of the hardware. I did notice lower scores on some G4's I think it may be because of throttling due to overheating though. I get around 70,000, if I put a little pc fan next to it, it gets 71,500.
[Sprint LG G4] CellphonePro:
Copper Heat Sink is the way to go

Copper Heat Sink works the best. There is a video on Youtube, just search youtu.be/G3dQdS1b0aw
[Sprint LG G4] KingFatty:
Nice video. Summary of procedure:

1) open the phone to reveal the circuit board

2) remove the large metal shroud or plate covering the processor chip and memory chips

3) cut out and remove a section of the large metal shroud that would normally cover the processor chip

3) get a piece of "heatsink tape" (e.g., thermal tape, he uses a tape with copper on top and adhesive on the bottom) and cut it to fit on the top of the memory chip, apply it to the memory chip

4) replace the large metal shroud over the chip - this covers and sandwiches the thermal tape on the memory chip under the shroud, while exposing the processor chip due to the hole you cut in step 3) above

5) apply another section of large thermal tape over the exposed processor to extend beyond the processor to the sides, covering over the metal shroud too (*this I disagree with, see below*)

6) apply a small section of thermal tape over the metal shroud located where the memory chip is located

Disagreement issue: there is a gap/divot over the processor, which will no longer make stiff contact with the frame when you assemble the phone. You can see the divot around 13:00 of the video, how the thermal tape "dips" in over the processor.

To fix, I'd add step between 4 and 5:

4.5) apply a small section of thermal tape directly over the naked processor to serve as a shim - just copy step 3) by applying the same procedure to the processor, not just the memory chip

By giving the processor the same covering of thermal tape as you did the memory chip, you will make sure the tape from step 5) that lays across the metal shroud and processor, will now be flat and not have a divot, to ensure good pressure/contact between the frame and the processor when you install the frame

[Microsoft Lumia 950/950 XL] RJH57108:
The other day, I dropped my phone 950xl off a counter top and it fell on its short edge. The phone was in a Cimo heavy duty case and there was no physical damage.

However (later), I noticed that the phone would not rotate the screen anymore ... bummer.

I thought that it could have been SW or FW that I upgraded o the phone ... but here was no info on the net that anybody else had a problem with the downloads.

I loaded some of the HW test apps, and they all showed that the accelerometer did not show any Y-axis movement. So, I was thinking that the drop killed the accelerometer.

I also reasoned that the accelerometer was a floating type device -- and maybe it got stuck when it was dropped. So, by chance (still in the case), I gave it a smack on the opposite short end on a table ...

And, the accelerator started working -- and the phone screen rotated when turned ...

Lucky that it started working ...

But, that is an interesting notion that the accelerometer can get stuck if dropped -- even though there is no real damage to the phone -- at least no other that I have noticed.
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] mematt69:
Hey all, I seem to be having an issue with the Pandora app. It is an app I use heavily, which it crashing is driving me bonkers.

Here's what happens. I open the app and it stays open until it starts to play/load music. The moment the artist information shows up the app closes itself. I had flashed the debloat script and rooted the phone. Then I disabled swap and of course, installed all my apps. Later I noticed the Pandora app crashing problem. I figured it was probably something the debloat script removed that I might have needed so I recovered to stock and only restored root. Low and behold, Pandora worked fine. I spent an hour or two listening and reading a book. I paused it so I could prepare for bed and when I hit play, it crashed again. Tried rebooting the phone, clearing the apps cache/data and reinstalling. Nothing seems to work. The app is set as a protected app in the settings. Also, I have the KIW-L24(USA) model.

tldr: Read the title ;)

Hoping someone has some hints they could throw my way. It seems curious that the app would work for a few hours then only stop working after I paused and then hit play again. If anyone has any advice, please shoot it my way.
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] wimbet:
What software build do you have? This issue was previously reported, but it should be fixed by now. Also, what version is the Pandora app?
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] mematt69:
Build number: KIW-L24C567B140

Pandora: version 6.9.2 (I have Pandora One, just in the off chance that would matter?)
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] mematt69:
I just cleared the app cache, deleted the app data, uninstalled, then booted into twrp, cleared the dalvik cache and rebooted (as I stated in the first post, I had done this all before). It now seems to be working. If it begins to crash a third time, I'll update.
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] mematt69:
And it started crashing again. I may have found the culprit. Everything was kosher until I allowed notifications. When I did the app crashed, with near instant crashes there on. Shut off notifications for Pandora in settings and it works like a charm.

Edit: I can repeat this issue by enabling/disabling notifications. A bit annoying, bit at least the app works.
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] ZeRo2o9:
I had just found this issue with my phone too, can't enable notifications, wonder why it does that
