There is no reason why this wouldn't work. The only issue you can have is if the IP address of your phone changes. Then the folder shortcuts on your Mac wouldn't work until you update it. This too can be solved by using static IP address in your router settings page.

I have created a post on setting up the server on Mac. Check it out here:

There is a very good reason - my incompetence! Joking aside - thanks again. I will steel myself to tackle it in the near future.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] TheMystic:
You're most welcome.

I have been in the same boat at some point, and I too forced myself into learning it. Now I have a very good setup that I don't have to worry about. 😍😍

OpenMTP work just fine for me on my MBP, Ventura 13.3

You can try MacDroid as well, but i prefer free option just to transfer my data.

For OpenMTP to works, you need to make sure no other app actually trying to access your phone. Example, if Preview is opened, phone might not detected.

If it's not detected at first attempt, just click refresh, the prompt to allow access will reappear on your phone, allow it, and it will works.

If the prompt appear even before you start using OpenMTP, it mean other app is trying to access your phone, and thats the problem.

Well, it's a stormy day here in the UK so I'm indoors and was feeling brave so I went through your steps, with success! I must thank you for taking the trouble to help me with this - really kind.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] TheMystic:
Glad to know it worked for you.

If possible, setup your router to assign static IP address to your devices to avoid the IP address from changing every time. If the IP address changes, the connection would stop working and you have to use the new IP address in the setup to make it work again.

On the next stormy day, you should give the other method a try 😃. That will make file transfer even simpler.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Deepgreen23:
I will try that - nothing can stop me now!
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Deepgreen23:
By the way, I meant to add this; there is one small benefit from using my S23 Ultra with my Mac - the Mac's charger acts as a superfast charger for the phone when I plug it into a Mac port!
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] DoubleDroz:
Sorry to jump in late to this, and, It's got to be said that I don't have a new Samsung, but I do have a Poco/Xiaomi on Android 13.

I haven't been able to get Android File Transfer to work on my Mac with Monterey/Ventura since the update to Android 13... But, I managed to get it to be detected finally today, after reading this thread, and force quitting the GDrive sync app and plugging the phone back in.

Hopefully that helps others that are stuck with these macOS/Android 13/Android File Transfer issues, which seem to be thin on the ground on in web searches.

Weirdly, planning on getting an S23 Ultra, so perhaps I'll need to find this thread again in future :)
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] TheMystic:
PD charging and other safety measures are all fine, but I suggest that you stick to using the charger meant for your device. My brother was charging his smartphone with his laptop charger and he feels the battery died sooner because of that. Although there could have been a different reason why the battery died, I don't think it is a good idea to use laptop chargers regularly (it is okay once in a while).
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] TheMystic:
There are much better ways of connecting the two devices. Check this out.

What is weird about getting the S23U? It is the best smartphone in the market today.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] DoubleDroz:
Thanks for the suggestion, but setting up a server for what should be a "connect with a cable and copy the file you want" is very much overkill - perhaps if I wanted to sync everything, but this is a very occasional occurrence to grab some big videos off my phone for editing on the Mac.

Nothing beats the simplicity of a cable!

It's definitely not weird to get an S23 Ultra - what was weird was the fact that I was posting about my non-S23 issue which was solved in a way that didn't help the OP in the thread, but I will most likely need to reference this post if I end up getting an S23 Ultra because I have the same Mac setup as them.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] TheMystic:
As the title of the post said, it was primarily a way to backup/ sync your phone files to your Mac/ Laptop.

As with simplicity, I guess once you are used to the convenience of doing things wirelessly, you are unlikely to go back to the wired way (just like how someone used to gesture based navigation would not go back to using navigation buttons). The only exception is wireless charging, which is very inefficient today.

The method suggested in the link is also the simpler method than a cable because all you have to do is press a button on the phone. Your phone need not be on the same desk, or even in the same room, and of course no cable clutter.

As of today, file transfers over a cable connection is still faster and more reliable, so it is a better choice for very large file transfers or for software installation via adb commands.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] krakout:
I use my old 580 for my little kid to play a single game. The tablet is otherwise locked using a Kiosk app. That app can override the navigation keys, however it does that with a slight delay - you press Home, for instance, when the game is playing, and the OS tries to exit to Home; the kiosk app intercepts that and returns to the game, however this kind of messes up with the gameplay.

So, is there a way to disable the navigation buttons at OS level?

Thanks in advance, any help greatly appreciated! 🙂
[Xiaomi Mi 10T / 10T Pro Questions & Answers] dmocha:
Hello

This is my first post so please be understanding.

I have been using the phone from the beginning as a regular user. I haven't made any modifications or changes to it (like root change etc.)

Recently, the official update of MIUI to version 13.0.8 appeared and after that the application selection stopped working. I had no problems with the phone before.

For example: An attempt to open a pdf file brought up a window with a list of various applications that handled the file. The same thing happened with other files or URLs. I have several browsers, so depending on what I wanted to open the Internet address with, I indicated the right choice.

Now the window shows up, but trying to tap the three dots immediately brings up a random app, each time a different one, no additional window pops up. No list of any apps expands.

I thought that maybe the problem will solve itself after resetting the phone. I set everything up again, did not restore any backups. Unfortunately, the problem is the same. I don't have any default settings.

What can be done? The problem is very irritating. I have no idea.

Apart from this problem, everything else works fine.

I will appreciate any help or suggestions

Screenshots are in Polish, if necessary I can translate.

[Xiaomi Mi 10T / 10T Pro Questions & Answers] xabylr:
Hello, I suffered from the same bug for a long time until I found the culprit.

You just have to uninstal updates of the Xiaomi Mi Browser (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mi.globalbrowser). Sadly it can't be easily uninstalled. Maybe it can be done with ADB, but I have not tried yet. Remember to disable automatic updates from the PlayStore to avoid it to update. This will cause the bug again.

I also suffer other bugs like an ugly and forced dark mode when the battery is below 40%. I was always tempted to install a custom ROM, but the stock camera features (manual focus, lens distortion correction, 108 MPX, zoom...) are important for me.
[Xiaomi Mi 10T / 10T Pro Questions & Answers] dmocha:

Downloading TomTom Home 2.5 and connecting Orange (and maybe all variety) Diamond causes TOMTOM to offer a free trial of TOMTOM 7.9 with trial map and access to purchase others advancing the cause of those whose Diamonds did not have TOMTOM in ROM. Win for Diamond users. Win for TOMTOM map sales.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] peterc10:
Sounds like very good news and TT actually applying some common sense for a change.

Does Home 2.5 work with Navigator? Previous versions did not and us PDA users were forced to use Version 1.5. It is for that reason that I did not instal it when it came out.

I have a legitimate version of TT6 up and running on my TD. Does this instal wipe any previous versions of TT off, or can both run together?

Can this version read version 6 maps - I would probably buy a Europe map but have a Southern Africa map I would want to keep in case I ever visit there again.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] KevinRmr:
Maybe it's just because I live in Canada, but the only map I can download is the one free map. If I try to purchase a map via TomTom Home it shows none available. Kind of annoying since TomTom is pretty much useless if you can't buy maps. It does work for all the free voices and car images, etc though. Maybe I should have selected the UK as my country when I registered....
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] heduser:
Tomtom Hone 2.5 encourages a connected diamond user to download working version of Tomtom 7 (v 7.90)for HTC devices which replaces extracted files from Diamonds with v7 in ROM. This allowed my access to previously purchased maps (v7.45maps) which wouldn't load with previous extracted versions of Tomtom 7. Home 2.5 has version for Navigator. Purchasing from Tomtom website for Navigator 7 leads to discounted 8.15 maps. Would assume these will work. My Orange diamond worked with maps of W Europe designated for O2.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] californiarailroader:
The 6.75 maps will work with TomTom 7, I'm using them together just fine.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] the_scotsman:
I'm using Tomtom V8 maps with Tomtom 7 no problem.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] tobi1kenobi1:
Worked for me. But does anyone know if this is a trial software, or the full version? I wouldn't want to spend $80 on a map of Australia, if the software runs out in a couple of weeks...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mugglesquop:
TomTom itself (the program) is free, its the maps you pay for, therefore it is a full version and will not run out.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] heduser:
Definitely full version. Can set to have cows mooing if speed limit exceeded. Tomtom will probably advise if v 8.15 maps operate if other site users cannot say. Cannot see why not as I am sure tomtom want map sales otherwise copilot will take htc users on. Home slightly slow to catch on to what you want . You may have to purchase maps from tomtom website and use Home to transfer to diamond rather than purchasing through Home itself.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] peterc10:
I emailed TT "support" :eek: some questions about this and here is part of their reply

"Home is offering you this application in error. It is an update to the preinstalled version of Nav 7, so probably won't work."

So there you go - all of this is a figment of your imagination. It doesn't exist and if it did it wouldn't work anyway. And it is all your fault for wanting up to date software and maps from us.

Oh and by the way they also said that TTN6 is not compatible with my TD even if it works on it. I must get a copy of their dictionary to see what there definition of compatible is.

I am so glad that Tom Tom is back to its normal ways - I don't think I could have stood the shock of them becoming helpful. :rolleyes::rolleyes:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] heduser:
Not complaining. Best example of unsolicited goods I've had in a long time. Is it tomtom's reluctance to preload in all markets or mobile companies wanting you to use their navigation system with costly data downloads?

If Using the t-Mobile Variant - LE2117 - we are Unable to Install any OTA Updates with OxygenUpdater, and are promptly warned of this limitation upon install. Nevertheless, I forged ahead and,

Following this Method, I downloaded a LE2115_11_F.17.zip, and proceeded to use your helpful .py scripts to extract the boot.img file, and Flash it - promptly sending me to a Qualcomm CrashDump mode.

Having a chance to MSM back to "stock" LE2117 - 11.2.2.2 LE54CB, I am wondering if I should just let the t-Mobile Update, through "Settings >> System >> System update" to Update the Stock ( bloated !? ) OS with all that are available,

Then attempt to Extract a boot.img and Magisk patch it ?

Good day, I need an explanation please...

So I tried to flash the flood firmware and the phone is stuck on the miui logo and won't boot. I rebooted the phone into recovery mode and factory reset the phone and tried to install the phone again but the phone still stuck on the miui logo so I booted the phone into fastboot mode and typed fastboot erase system and fastboot erase cache and tried to flash the same firmware and it didn't help. I'm using a firmware that I've used before and when I got my phone into bootloop that firmware saved me but not now. So I tried to install a different version of firmware for my Xiaomi and still the same problem the phone is still stuck on the miui logo. Any explanation? Sorry for my bad English, I'm writing through a translator.

[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] DutchArjo:
I wanted to get my A6 working again to use as our home unit for my son to use sometimes.

I saw there is AOSP 12 for the A6 available so I decided to get android 12 on my A6 (was still on the stock Android 10).

However, I have been busy for days now and still have not succeeded. In fact: I just flashed stock Android 10 on my A6 again.

I used a guide to get AOSP 12 op my A6. necessary step 1: flash TWRP.

That was in fact the only step that worked directly.

Step 2 was flashing some other files RMM, no encrypt). And then came in Magisk v18.1 (especially this version to prevent my a6 from boot loop).

But then the trouble started. It didn't work. I don't know where exactly, but I encountered an error 8 and ran into 'cannot mount /data' errors.

I finally fixed this (wiping /data and changing file system tot fat or exfat and after wiping, changing it back) and continued.

Then I still ran into error 1 errors. I found out it had something to do with boot.img and "was very easy to fix". I only needed boot.img. The suggested methods all didnt work (twrp backup of /boot didn't give me anything usable). ADB didnt'work (device unauthorized) and something more. I read somewhere else that rooting wasn't needed, I could flash AOSP12 without rooting so I flashed the AOSP 12 img file with TWRP. After succesfully flashing.... it didn't work. So for now, I flashed Android 10 stock again, but I'm more then frustrated that I didnt succeed in flashing AOSP 12 and starting it properly.

I simply cannot understand that it can be so hard to get where you want to be. And I don't understand people make statements in guides that it is "really simple" to fix an issue (only 4 steps or so) but forget to mention it might me more or less difficult to get the needed file (boot.img) to do so.

One other page had a guide to flash AOSP 12 using ADB. I only need system.img and vbmeta.img. But they don't tell where to get those .img files....

Am I just dumb and stupid or do these guides lack some essential info?
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] nqnxev:
Probably the only way to have Android 12 on A600FN is to use Generic System Images. However it's not perfectly stable. Android 11 probably still will be more comfortable in everyday usage. To flash GSI on A600FN follow this guide. Just remember to choose image in right architecture (it needs to be arm32_binder64). Root isn't needed for that at all. What's more, some GSI's are prerooted already. But if you need Magisk, then use latest version.

Btw, after flashing custom recovery you didn't need such messing with partitions - you need just to do FORMAT (not wipe) /data partition (and reboot custom recovery after that).
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] DutchArjo:
Thanks for replying. I am still wondering why we need arm32 as the a6 has/uses arm64 instruction set, isn't it?

I will look for Android 11.

I had to mess around so much because everything didn't work as it should be, according to the guides. I guess Murphy's Law had a great time messing with me and my growing frustration. I flashed TWRP now. I immediately checked if just formatting would be enough but when I try to , I get an error message: unable to mount /data.

That is why I changed it to fat and back. (after that it worked).

update: Flashed android 11 and its working fine now.
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] nqnxev:
Yes, exynos 7870 has 64-bit intructions. but it needs 64-bit vendor to run arm64 system images. Samsung's stock firmware works on arm32_binder64 vendor on A600FN. There are available unofficial arm64 vendors for A600FN, but they are definitely less stable than the stock one.
