Develop Bugs

What am i doing wrong ! (app install)

Hello
Got my phone today, love it...(although reception is poor in the middle of my Basement flat! )
Anyway, im new to android but ive managed to set up my account to get stuff from the market place, ive got seesmic and the update for google maps ready for download but the just seem to be sitting in the "currently downloading" section of the store, each one says starting to download but there's no progress on the bar (just the little candy striped thing turning, but no actual downloading !)
whats up with that !?
Could very well be something dumb ive done or not done !
any help
(although reception is poor i am connected through my wifi, i guess that works for downloading apps too!?)

It can happen sometimes, just cancel download and start it up again... Maybe try doing one at a time...
If the problem persists let us know...

Probably something to do with your reception, I notice it seems to be buggy when downloading and your connection switches from 3G to 2G

Thanks Man
Ill give it a go and see what happens
on a side note, i remember your post about the store being slow and you having to enable some content or something...what was that about ?

I have no idea, it seems to have fixed itself now. Definately something to do with T-Mobile's rom and their content lock for under 18's not the OS itself.

just went for a factory reset in the end !
Still, sorted the problem nicely
Cheers Chaps
Also, whilst im on, anyone have any views on the best browser for the phone ?
Not that i dont like the default one, just wondered about peoples favourite alternatives
Thanks

Dolphin and Opera Mini are popular alternatives.

I have this problem as well. It appears on and off and I can't find a pattern. Sometimes rebooting the phone solves the problem and other times it doesn't.

question. Your network got a content lock? could it be screwing up the market?
I know i had to disable t-mobiles one just to even get in there.

I'm just giving the latest opera browser a go. While it's quite different, i do like it! It seems a little faster to use than the default one. My suggestion is to go with juicydefender, for the first week if not all the time. It really does enhance the battery life. Doubled mine for my first week

How to configure juicedefender in the proper way? I managed to set it to use Wifi only at specified time, but how can I force the other softwares (weather widget, gmail client, etc.) to use the data connection in THAT period of time when juicedefender turns the wifi on?

MTP stop working... Help!!

Guys.. I have a problem >.<
I was copying my music files across in MTP mode and suddenly it stop functioning. I cant copy anything on to my GN anymore. I try switching to PTP mode but same problem.
I can view the file on GN fine but I cant copy anything now. Any help please >.<
Note: I just finished copied 2 albums and that is it so my storage is not full.

had the same problem!
try not to copy & paste multiple files at once, rather copy whole folders!
at least it worked for me. I read about this problem somewhere else.

It just plain does not work. You would think that due to the lack of USB mass storage, Google, Samsung - whoever would have refined the MTP, but it's totally hit or miss. Do yourself a favor and get Airdroid from the market. It's free, and it works. Pretty damned dissapointing for a $700 phone.

I don't think so, lot's of people with issues. I think you will find Airdroid much faster than USB anyway.

That is really freakin annoying. This afternoon I transfered Gigs of Music, now it won't even let me copy pictures. I un- and reinstalled drivers, rebooted both PC and phone, still nothing. Can't even use Airdroid as I don't have a WiFi network here.

Yeah, I agree, MTP has been nothing but buggy for me as well. Sometimes it shows some folders, sometimes it shows them all. Same with files.
I just did a little learning about MTP http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_Transfer_Protocol interesting read. I wonder who is to blame for the bugginess, the host (initiator) or the device (responder)?

For me Unfortunately, MTP application has stopped problem is solved !!!
Read my post #6, problem is solved !!! very minor point but we tend to overlook it...

[q] How to debug random reboots when logcat shows nothing obvious.

This MT3GS is running the latest Cyanogenmod and google apps and hasn't been overclocked, yet it randomly reboots from time to time. I installed logcat but the last entries before reboot aren't consistant or yield any clues to what's going on. Where does one go from here? Is there a debug method that will show me what happened right after that last line recorded (using catlog set to record once a line)?
This is highly frustrating. :/
I tried resetting the phone, deleting the system partition, and reinstalling Cyanogenmod, but its still happening.
Any help in knowing what to look for next would be appreciated.

Second that
Installed ICS Revloution on my HTC Sensation XE and although it worked well, I got frequent random reboots.
I then changed to Insert Coin ICS latest version, and same performance but also same issue.
I cannot ask in the actual ROM thread as I don't have 10 posts as yet, so decided to do as much homework as I could.
Can't see anything obvious in Logcat either.

Well I tried a different ROM and it still did it and still doesn't show **** on logcat... and this time I followed it through ADB connecting to my laptop.
Is this the sign of a dying device? Is this situation so abnormal that there is nothing else that can be investigated?
I feel pretty bad because I handed this phone down to my wife as her first Android device and then is driving her up the wall. I guess it did it when I used it but maybe I just didn't notice it all that much to care.
I've tried posting in many forums... I wonder if I should try an actual google forum?

Use UART. You will need to figure out how to do it on your own. This will show you the problem unless its hardware damage.

Darn, sounds like a dead end for me. I did a google for UART and android and came to the conclusion its waaay over my head. It looks like UART is just a serial communications standard?

Yep. And you can use a tool like The Bus Pirate to communicate. It costs $35 for a bus pirate.

[Q] Windows 7 MTP Copy To Device Warning

Is there any way to remove the warning when copying songs or movies over to the Galaxy Nexus on windows 7 via MTP? It's not really harming anything but it is quite annoying and an unneccesary extra step.

I've been looking for a solution to this for the longest time.

A zeppelin song as an MKV? Am I missing something, lol.
I know this doesn't help, at all, but I used to get those messages. After reformatting windows due to a computer upgrade, those messages went away.
Perhaps it was because I didn't use windows updates at all, but my new system is completely up to date. Give that a shot. I tried searching around for an answer a few months ago, and couldn't come up with anything.

You would have better luck on Windows 7 forums asking for help with this.

Did you copy mkv files? It only says that for files it does not understand/recognize with WMP, I think.

You are correct, I get the same message when copying an MKV.

Has anyone ever found a solution to this? So annoying..

I have the same problem, but with all files.. ever .mp3's, so i dont think its because WMP cant read them :S

I can't see my files or pictures when connected to PC, help!!!

OK this is driving me crazy, when I connect my phone to my PC (Win 7) and go to my phone files they all look empty, I click on DCIM and choose camera all my pictures are there but I can't see them they don't popup automatically like they use to, the only way I can browse through my pictures is by opening them up individually, I tried the same thing with my old Galaxy S Vibrant and it works just fine I can see all my files and the contents without me opening them up, so I know there is nothing wrong with the computer. I tried different data cables original and others again with no luck, does anyone have any idea what is wrong with my phone, please help.

Can you post a screen shot so that we have a better idea of what you are talking about?

I have the same issue extremely intermittently. The only resolution I have discovered so far is to disconnect and reconnect the phone to the PC.

I attached screenshots check it out

I just connected my S3 to see if mine did the same thing, and it does. I think that the problem is that the phone connects to the computer using MTP and not mass storage. Here's a link with some one else that had the same problem.

Thanks for the reply, I'm kinda glad to know it's not just me that can't see any thumbnails, can someone else confirm that these devices don't load any thumbnails...

Damn it man, I can verify I have the same damn problem. Followed the link posted and nothing in there was helpful. If ANYONE has a link or answer please post. It would be most appreciated. Meanwhile i'm going to start researching the issue, if I find a solution I will post.

I can't believe a flagship devise like this can be this low tech, I have over 500 pictures in the camera folder how can I see the pictures I took recently on my PC if thumbnails won't load up, I hope the next update will address this problem and fix it.

Well I found some information in the link below. However every time you reboot you have go thru the process again and it is only for the external sd card. You are right this is extremely sad for FLAGSHIP DEVICE, I guess I am lucky I dont have that many pictures and dont take that many pictures that I can manage them thru the device.

The solution I found
This might not be the solution you are looking for, but it fixed it for me!
Basically, if your screen is locked when you connect your handset to your computer it will not read the files. Simply unlock your screen before connecting and they should come up...
If you think about it this is actually a pretty good security feature, but pretty confusing if you are not aware of it.
Hope this helps, I set up an account just to answer this so I hope it was worth the effort! haha. :victory:

He can see the files.. His issue is that thumbnails aren't generated... which I think is the issue for every gs3.

Wrong forum. Find the forum for your device and ask there. This is for the GS3 only.
