Grand Theft Auto crash

Whenever I try to open grand theft auto I get the error ""unable to access external files directory, make sure USB sharing is not turned on" any ideas? I've tried wiping data and flashing other roms even going back to the stock rom and I still get this error

Me too, I tried wiping the phone, different roms, fixing permissions, deleting the data in /android/data/com/gta3, nothing works

Yeah its rly annoying Hope someone can come with a solution

Did you guys put a support ticket in to Rockstar and a review on the game on the market? I had an issue trying to buy the game so I gave a review on put put a ticket in and they replied back saying they had fixed the issue. Easy peasy.

I was finally able to resolve this. BEWARE, the below entirely clears the SDCARD and all your data! This means your Nandroids will also be gone as well as any roms you have stored on your card! Backup to a pc before doing this..
reboot recovery
clear data /factory reset in cwm
Reboot to bootloader,
fastboot oem lock
fastboot oem unlock
agree on phone
aokp 11 with franco 7.1, installed gta from market, finally worked although I think it should work with any rom.. was previously failing for me after factory reset.. had flashed lots of kernels and whatnot to cause it like many above. I still have the 90 degree problem with accelerometer steering

This is what I did to get mine to work on my Sony Tablet S. I tried to move it to the USB Storage in Manage Applications in the Settings but it said I was out of room. So I deleted some programs and then moved it to the USB storage and it started up. I hope this works for others. I tried all the options all the other people suggested here and other places.

[Q] S note has unfortunately stopped!!!

Hey i just flash my n7100 with android 4.1.2 stock firmware downloaded it from samsung-updates and flashed them using odin, all went well but when i turn on the phone s note stops working and semi freezing the phone, and it keeps going on as long as the phone is on, and i cant find the dialer thought it is listed in the app list, any suggestions?? plz help :/
Edit: i rechecked and found the contacts app missing too, i think the problem is the firmware i downloaded, but my internet speed is bad like really bad so its hard to download 1gb firmwares!! any mini solution?

no i didnt i only wiped it after flashing trying to solve the s note problem, my phone is really tilting and i dunno what to do, tried reflashing and wiping multiple times but no use!

If you come from custom rom, then wipe data and cache partition is required before flashing stock roms. Else some part of last roms remain in system and can create problems.
You can also try by clear data of snote from application setting section.

i had same kind of problem with s note after flashing it with a custom ROM in my gtn 8000. It troubled me alot but finally got the solution by installing languages in keyboard setting.
go to setting>language and inputs >click on settings of Samsung keyboard>choose Handwriting> choose Input languages
u will see lot of languages to download.
download any one of them........................ wait for finishing installation...
Hope it works for u as it did for me.
if does nt work no hard feelings..

I had the same issue, reloaded firmware, clear data and cache with no fix. I thought about to do a factory reset, but just b4 I was going to do it. I suddenly have an idea just flashed in my mind. This is what I did.... go to setting > my device > S pen > put a check mark on the "Open Popup Note when the pen is detached". Then back to the home screen, pull out the S pen and a mini S note will open. Close it and now you should be able to open the regular S Note. It works on my Note 2. Good luck guys.

Need folder from rooted P6/microphone issue while calling

Hey guys, this is my first post to XDA-Developers so I hope I will not **** up something.
I had problems with my P6, because the volume was really, really low. So I found tutorial on this site where someone recommended to delete codec folder
(system/etc/audio/codec)
So I did delete this folder and rebooted my phone, it seriously gave boost to my volume and it was cool. But problem is, people have troubles to hear me. They don't hear me clear while I'm calling with them, weird thing is, it only does when I'm calling via classic calling, when I'm calling with Viber, I sound clear. So if you somehow help me, how to stay with boosted volume but with clear calling again, I would be really glad. Otherwise, can someone please upload original "codec" folder? Because I would rather have lower sound than issue where no one can hear me.
Also, this site is awesome, so much helpful advices here! Thank you, stay awesome!

That can be a common issue, I would recommend installing the rom again, a suggestion would be to use the china b188 as volume is much louder

I would like to try adding back that folder before reinstalling whole phone..Because installing the rom again is basically same thing as resetting phone to factory settings right?

Okay, well, how can I reset my rom then? Can I do it from phone?

Guys, I would still rather appreciate if someone just take a minute and upload that codec folder. I will give you a cutest picture of cat on the internet. And if it doesn't help, then I will probably have to reset phone to factory settings.

If u do factory restet it will not put back codec folder. ( from where he will get it, u deleted it )
To get all back to stock u must update your phone with some stock rom and then u will get back that codec folder.
u sugess to use B122 or B118 what can be found on XDA
And next time read all topic not only first page, in that topic can find 2 more sugestions how tune up heanphones sound.

My grand Duos hangs on the GT-19082 startup screen and when i tried recovery i gives me red lines of E: Can't mount and when i try wiping or resetting it displays the same can't mount messages, and after trying to flash a new official rom it goes okay and after flashing when it is trying to boot it gives the same message, So i think the internal storage is dead cause i had the same problem before with Gt-i9000 and i solved it by removing the internal memory ic and flashing a 3 files rom on external Sd . Will this also work for grand duos or no please any help to save my phone and thanks in advance

I think you should try to flash stock rom with PIT files.
Cz it may be possible that u messed up with the system partition while rooting or something else. So might give a try.
Bt at last..its ur own responsibility.

make sure you have the reuqired drivers installed, just see youtube tutorials, you will get an idea on in this A1 forum, hit thanks if i helped you

I have the exact same problems and i tried using diffrent sd cards but its no use. I know lollipop will fix this issue because google said its bringing back support for sd cards in android 5. Till then i dont know how i can fix this issue. Btw i am on ART runtime . is that causing this problem or will flashing another stock rom work ? Please help.

SD Card Issue
My friend had the same issue with his A1, and I being his "go to guy", I did factory reset, factory reset from recovery mode, installed stock rom again but none of this worked. Finally, i replaced his SD card with mine and tried to click a photo and voila it worked. So morale of the story, buy a new SD card.
