[Q] URGENT - Noob question about sygic, rooting and the kit Kat update?

Hi all,
Thanks for taking the time to read my thread. This morning I updated to kit Kat and now I just opened sygic. It says sd card access denied. So I searched it up and it turns out that I need to root my phone to change some settings as kit Kat prevents writing to the SD card I think. Is there a way without rooting my phone?
Even if need to root my phone, does rooting void my warranty? And can I get future updates via Ota /Sony pc companion?
This is really urgent because I need to use sygic over the weekend. (Stupid mobilicity doesn't have coverage in Waterloo!)
Thank you!

Rooting might Void your warranty also depends upon the method you use to root. yes you can get future updates as long as you are in stock rom OTA or PCC.

I see only two possibilities: root or install sygic to internal storage. There is might also third possibility for you, it works with iGo navigation, put sygic to internal storage and maps to SD card.

Thanks for the replies.
If I install sygic to my phone's storage, it doesn't need root right? And my phone is running out of space. Any recommendations for a app to sd app?
Thanks!

[Q] Phone not recognizing SD card

I've just bought a G3 D855 and it doesn't appear to recognize any SD card's that I insert. Don't know whether there is a knack to plugging it in but I've tried 2 now, including a brand new one. It's just not showing up in the storage as the options to mount/unmount are greyed out. Any ideas how to resolve this ?
Kind Regards
Darren

One of the cards came straight from my Z1, which worked fine. The other card is brand new, never been used.
When I received the phone yesterday it was rooted. I've now installed a stock ROM which should be a UK version. Do you, by any chance, have the link to the UK version for the 3 network, if there is one.

I would just flash the Stock UK .KDZ file from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089 + http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G3/Stock/
Get the one called UK16G D85510A unless you have the 32GB model and also format the SDcards to Fat32 before putting them into the phone!

Format the card to Fat32. Best compatibility by far (but max filesize of course will be <4GB).

Sorry for the dumb question, but this means that no one file can b larger than 4gb correct? I just got new cards and I want to be able to back up twrp roms and such. Tia

I also use my, 64GB Fat32 formatted, card for the same purpose. No problems as the TWRP Nandroids are split into <4GB segments

Google/Android decided they didn't want you to write there in the new versions. However, there is a work around.
Here is one of the free apps that will change settings to allow you to write to the SD card:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix
There are others. But, I think that all require you to be rooted.

Just for a lark, try Googling: KitKat SD Card.
I think you will find the change happened in ALL stock versions of KitKat It was an intentional change. However, almost all custom/modified ROMs turned this "feature" off as soon as they could.

Still saves them to Storage/extSdCard/DCMI/Camera on my SD card in my AT&T S4. So must be a T-Mobile thing.

Interesting, since I just searched on the S4 AT&T forum, and there are plenty of posts about it. Here's one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2687513

Q: howto enable RW on SD Card on lollipop

How to enable RW on SD Card on Lollipop? Galaxy tab s 8.4 WiFi
On kitkat i would root it and instal sd fix, but on lollipop i dont know how.
thx,

Same as kitkat.

I thought lollipop had the sd card problem already fixed, That was the only reason i was going to upgrade, but i rooted kitkat and use the sd card fix, so no lollipop for me.

Only for compatible apps that have that permission included. If the developer doesn't include it, the app won't get write permission.

I did not know that thanks.

GPS SD Card slot is broken / defect, how to navigate now?

Hello guys,
I have a Joying Android 4.4.4 1024x600 mctb car unit.
Like i said on the title, after upgrading to the latest official seller's fw i wanted to replace back GPS SD card in the slot. But after putting and pushing it in that slot unfortunately it is broken. Tried to pull it out but get worse and whole slot is broken.
How can i use now a GPS software? I can buy a navigation app on play ▶ store but not sure it will work.. Also cannot upgrade to malaysk rom i think... Am I right?

Nobody? Serious? So icannot upgrade to Malaysk without GPS cardslot? and cannot navigate anymore?

I have managed to root and made some space for an extra GPS software. Now Here we go app is installed and setted up as default navigation app.
But i really want to upgrade to Malaysk rom. How can I do that without a SD Card. GPS card slot is defect

Bad nieuws, Here we Go app is not working, Sygic seems to be working but freezes a lot..
Still Waiting An Answer For Question: How can i upgrade to another ROM without SD Card slot?

Have you considered return under warranty or self repair, requesting spare part from supplier?

Warranty? Unfortunately not anymore and already asked for spare parts but it is not possible. I have to order a full frame bezel with screen assembling. It costs more than ıt worths. Bought from China. Manufacturer and seller is actually helpful but not realistic.

The procedure is mentioned god knows how many times in these forums, put file on a usb device (HD or SD card) boot into recovery and flash from there, cant remember if it will auto detect the update and ask if its on the usb (it deffo will if its in the sd slot).

Me too I have this problem any help please?
