[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] admad:
I've been using Z3 till now, there was an option for USB Mass Storage mode, which simply emulated sd card as pen drive. I could simply transfer any file I wanted with the highest speed possible!

This option is gone in XZ Premium, and the way I see it the only method available now is MTP (which sucks massively, words can't describe how bad this protocol is)

So my question is, what can I do to transfer any file I want at top speed to my phone? This is 2017, I've bought high speed SD card, I can't believe I'm stuck with MTP that goes around 5MB/s... There has to be a way for legit file transfer...

I use a app called superbeam, it uses wifi.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] x10Mark:
I wouldn't call wifi a solution to that, I'm going to use a high speed sd card too to transfer 4k movies and stuff back and forth so I'd like to know this myself too.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] admad:
Looks like Sony is providing USB 2.0 cable with Sony XZ Premium (UCB20 is USB 2.0), this is one of the reasons of low transfer speeds.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Preacher_at:
Sucks for me as well

Anybody found a better solution?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] cazuniq:
If you have Root, you can get a app from the play store that enables Mass Storage
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Preacher_at:
How is this called?

Would be the solution as soon as root exploit is found
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] AJHutchinson:
If you have fast internet just FTP? Or just use an SD card reader? But the latter will kill your flaps water resistance after time so wouldn't bother ?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] brockrob:
Mass storage mode transfer is a thing of the past for good reason. Your phone, under such a mode, would present its internal storage to the computer to mount up and use as if it were a thumb drive. Trouble is, very few file systems support concurrent read/write mounting by multiple computers, and you won't find any of those that do on a phone. So, when in mass storage mode, the computer must be given exclusive access to the storage, meaning the phone cannot access it. Obviously, this wouldn't work if the phone had to give up exclusive access to important system files, so this lead to the two partition system whereby important stuff was on an OS partition unavailable as mass storage and user data was on an 'sdcard' partition. That partition sizing was set at the factory and couldn't be changed without root and often kernel work, and it usually wasted a ton of space on the OS partition because OEMs are necessarily conservative there. Also, it restricted what file systems OEMs could use for the sdcard partition as your computer is unlikely to understand file systems like ext3/4. So the sdcard partition was quite often fat32, which has a few downsides. Firstly, Microsoft do hold patents there that they enforce, so licensing is needed. Secondly, it is an archaic and crappy file system with limitations like no single file larger than about 4GB. Not a great plan in 2017 - I don't think I even have any movies that small on disk anymore.

All that said, I don't see the problem with MTP. If it's slow for you, it's likely because you're using the supplied cable, which is USB version 2, so slow. I slung about 15 GB or so of film onto my phone yesterday through a USB 3.1 cable in under a minute. It's definitely the fastest USB transfer to a phone I've ever experienced.

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Preacher_at:
I have now tested a lot of different solutions for file transfers.

None of the ones emulating a network card and making SMB share worked.

Finally I landed on some FTP server apps.

Now I use "WiFi Pro FTP Server" as this one had best performance out of the ones I tested.

With performance I mean time until directory content (~3.000 jpeg files) is displayed by FTP client. This one takes about half a minute where crap MTP via USB took more than 5 minutes (with new, high quality USB 3.0 cable!).

I have notebook and phone in different WiFi bands to increase performance. Transfer speed is about 4-10MB/s so really good and far beyond MTP.

Of course, I am still missing good old mass storage mode
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] southernstyle:
Hi all, I have Sprint and I get awful reception in my new home. Back in the day, we used to have an option to manually update the PRL file on the phone and it would connect to Verizon or another cell provider. Is there a chance that this option or modification is still available? I guess my question is, do any ROMs offer roam only settings, or is there a way to manually roam. Sprint doesn't seem to care whether I get service or not, so I have to do some manual intervention on this. Any insight would be appreciated.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] jhs39:
There are apps like Signal Spy that are made for Project Fi users to manually switch networks since that service is supposed to pick the strongest signal from among 3 networks used on Fi. But there are a lot more networks listed than the ones Fi uses. If you have roaming enabled on your phone maybe you could switch to a different network manually even though you aren't a Fi customer.

By the way, I'm assuming you have a Pixel XL based on where you posted your question. It's more likely an issue with the phone than Sprint. I was on Sprint for years via Virgin Mobile and 100.00 CDMA only phones were much better at picking up the Sprint signal than my 900.00 Pixel XL is. I'm on Fi where Sprint is one of the carriers and Sprint shows no service all over the city which I know is not the case.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] fiffan86:
I believe with sim cards now, the prl is automatically updated, at least that is what Verizon told me
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] southernstyle:
Thank you for the info. I'm on the Pixel XL, but my gf has the same problem on an S7 edge. I put in my project fi Sim to see if t mobile was any better, but both seem to be weak at my house. I'll give the app a try. Thanks again

I had a feeling that was the case. I wish there was a way to modify the SIM card. Thanks for verifying that, it must be easier for them to keep us from editing the files.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] alluringreality:
Verizon works that way, but this is one of the areas where Verizon and Sprint are different in how they implemented 4G LTE. Another example is that customers can switch sim cards between 4G LTE phones on Verizon, while you have to follow Sprint's procedure to switch service between LTE phones.

I haven't used Sprint, and I also haven't tried to pull a PRL off this phone, yet this is what Sprint's website returns.

https://support.sprint.com/support/...pixel |All&question_box=update prl pixel |All
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] fiffan86:
I've never used sprint because they always roam off Verizon where I live. The nearest native coverage is about 25 miles from where I live. That's good to know.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] jhs39:
Sometimes if you aren't stuck with a contract it's a matter of finding who has the best network near you. I was on Sprint via Virgin Mobile for over 10 years and the network was great everywhere I went. Unfortunately Virgin Mobile won't let you bring your own phone so when I got a Nexus I switched to AT&T via Cricket. I couldn't get any phone reception at all in whole rooms in my apartment. It was brutal. After months of putting up with that I switched to Project Fi. I get good reception in my apartment with both Sprint and T-Mobile, although my Nexus 6P preferred T-Mobile and for some reason the Pixel XL prefers Sprint. Sometimes I have to manually switch to T-Mobile because Sprint reception is much spottier than it should be and Fi doesn't always switch on its own.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JanusDC:
Either all my USB-A to USB-C cables are broken, or the USB-C on my Nexus 6P is broken. In any case, I cannot detect my phone from my computer. When I connect it I get

[319203.836580] usb 3-2: new full-speed USB device number 18 using xhci_hcd

[319204.173299] usb 3-2: device descriptor read/64, error -71

So, the question is: Is there any way to install an OTA update without using the cable? I have tried to install it from the update menu under "about", but it reboots directly to TWRP, so does not work.

Any clues?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] eric6268:
Those unlocked at&t or tmobile phone won't work for Sprint or Verizon. Sprint and Verizon required the IMEI in their database.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] OmarPhoenix:
I'm late to this thread, but what I did was make sure my S8+ (T-Mobile variant) was paid off and then I used the Device Unlock app. It did not work at first. Then, I inserted a Verizon SIM and rebooted the phone. I relaunched the Device Unlock app and selected the option for Permanent Unlock. It worked and then asked me to reboot the phone once more. Once I did that, it took me to a blue screen while it loaded the Verizon bands and apps and then rebooted one more time. It works flawlessly and even loaded the Verizon boot up screen.

From what it seems, all of the USA SM-G950/955 units are indeed capable of working with other networks and will load the appropriate firmware of that carrier but, at least with T-Mobile, the phone must be paid off first and then the Device Unlock app must be used. It is working great on Verizon as if it was sold to me by them.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] David1one:
Hello!

i have a visually impaired girlfriend and she is stuck on apple iphones, because the magnification gesture is easier to use, even though she would really like to make the switch to using android phones.

Comparing the magnification gestures, one feature that ios has over android is that the magnification can be used controlled by an overlay virtual joystick. Why would you use a virtual joystick? because it enables you to use the gesture single handedly, whereas android basically forces you to use both hands, which in lots of situations can be unconvenient. This is what is regrettably keeping her from making the switch.

Is it possible to develop this feature for android? Because all the joystick really would do is use the underlying magnification api of the system, right?

I hope somebody can help me. I'm really at a loss here, for i am no developer.

I would be more than happy to hear your thoughts on this matter.

I wish you all a good day :good:

Hey, I’m noticed with the custom roms I’ve used (Resurrection Remix and Dirty Unicorns). Thad my snapchats keeps crashing, mostly the first time I open it and take a photo than boom crash. I does not seems like big a deal but it’s pretty annoying, since I therefore lose the first photo I took witch in most cases is something or special that happened..

Does anyone ells faces this problem? Is there a great rom out there where it might not crash?

P.s, I already tried clearing cache on the app.

Yes I have exactly the same problem on Lg G3. I have custom rom crdroid. I was going to flash Resurrection remix just because snapchat keeps crashing on this rom. I use snapchat very often so this is a big issue for me. Snapchat just crashes when I'm uploading a photo or editing it, or even just watching others' stories. I thought it was a problem only crdroid, but you are telling me it is an issue also on RR. I have also tried clearing cache , data and reinstalling several times even older versions give this issue but not as often, but it still is very annoying.

If you already did update to Nougat via OTA, flashing that Marshmallow stock image can/will brick your device.

There is a generic RETAIL Nougat Stock image for the April Security Updates flying around somewhere. But generally you should install the stock version you originally had on your device, and then update from there.

[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] BtbN:
I have no idea in what channel a phone will end up with the generic RETAIL images. I just did a dump of every single partition on my phone before I installed custom stuff, so I can always get back to how it was originally, and OTA from there.

Flashing that on my reteu device resulted in a bootloop with the phone playing the "Hello Moto" sound over and over again.

I could flash LineageOS over it and it worked fine, but it did not give me a working stock OS.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] St.Noigel:
You can try to do next:

1. Wipe everything (incl internal storage with TWRP)

2. Format (not wipe) data with TWRP

3. Go to fastboot and flash stock ROM with RSD lite

P.S. If you still have bootloop - just flash TWRP and SuperSU with it. But if you`ll do everything, what i wrote - You`ll have fully worked device.

Good luck )
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] BtbN:
Step 3 is what I did originally, including erasing userdata. With that exact stock ROM.

I only wanted to update the bootloader and radio firmware, so I don't overly care it does not boot by itself, as I'm using LaOS.
