Widget wanted mount/unmount storage card

Hello i´m searching for a widget to unmount and mount the storage card because if i move mp3 files with apps like anyFTP or aFile to the G1 i'm not able to open them. I have to switch the phone off and on and then i can use the files.
need Help please!

why not just take the sd card out then put it back in instead of turning the phone on and off?

there is an app on the market that does that...just throw it on your desktop..
it's not a widget but performs the function as it should...
use it until a widget is released...

@nephron : it´s too compicated! A widget or an app ist faster (i hope)
@Ike14 : Do you remember the name of the app? i have allready searched in the market but i found nothing!

It's called KingDroid.

I found it! But i only can use KingDroid with rooted G1 i don´t want to root it! Is there another app for non rooted devices?
Or do i need a rooted G1 to mount and unmount the storage card?

FOUND IT!...
App: MountUSB
It's in the market...just searched it...
But some recent user comments on the app say it's not working with cupcake (1.5)...
But try it...it's free...and you never know!

tried it but don´t work! Any other ideas?

noone else an idea?

do you have 1.5? you can mount/umount from the sdcard option in settings.

wait, why not just use a usb cable, and mount the sd card using the phone?! then drag and drop for christ's sake..

are you looking for one that mounts the SD card to the phone or to the computer? the script within kingdroid for mounting/unmounting the SD card is for when the phone is plugged into the computer, and it MAY work for just that function without root, but just wondering why you don't wanna root your phone, it's not hard and the possibilities become endless for this phone with root

i use an app to download mp3s. if i am not at home and download a mp3 i have to unmout and mount the card to open the mp3 file with the player thats why i dont can use the usb cable.
I dont want to root because the cellphone is new and i loose the garantie.

Uhm, this actually doesn't make any sense. Why in the hell would you have to remount your sdcard for a downloaded mp3? I've downloaded tons of mp3's on the fly with my phone and my music player just picks them up as soon as they're done.
What "app" are you using?

Do you guys have this problem on Quarx CM10

Hi,
why not use the latest build from Quarx for CM10....or else you can try Epsylon's build for your defy...
And make sure you start afresh....Clean Everything and then install the ROM hopefully things should work...
Thanks

I have the same problem too.
First version I installed is the 12 Aug nightly Quarx CM10. All wipes etc done before flashing.
Existing music and pictures that were on the SD card not found.
All new images taken with the camera are placed in the same folder as the existing ones on the SD card.
(MB525 Green lens)

try to clear the data and the cache of gallery, and it will be ok. but for music player,i still dont find a easy way to solve

Same problem here
I got the same problem with the gallery and the music...
Since i flashed the rom the pictures wont show up and the musick library wont find anything to play...
Already tried to reflash, cleaned everything, tried different roms, tried script to rescan media on boot but always the same problem... seems like the rom broke something? i could arrange with everything basically but since i cant use my defy as a musicplayer anymore... :X

HELP! - Media files delete themselves?

I have a Samsung P1000 from Rogers that I rootes and install BOCA v209 and having been enjoying it for the last while. I been using DicePlayer v2.0.6. Now when I load a movie or tv show in mkv format on the my external sd card, itnhas no problem finding it. But once i watch the movie and afterwards eject or reboot my device for whatever reason, the movie files goes missing. I've relash the rom, used a new sd card and tried a different player and still has the same issue. Any auggeations would be greatly appreciated.

it was a BOCA bug

Thanks for the quick reply. Since you said was does that mean there's a fix. Looked all over the.rom thread to no.avail.

sorry, can't help much.
I said was mainly because I read it long ago
Could it be that diz has solution in other ROM?

I've had this problem, best way to get it working is to:
1 - Ensure app is not saved on SD card
2 - Force Stop app and clear app data
3 - Unmount SD Card
4 - Open Deezer and when prompted to change storage location press 'Yes'
5 - Remount SD card
6 - Bob's Your Uncle.
Worked for me

Lovely thanks for that. worked for me.

It didn´t work , after step 4 Deezer is not prompting to change the media storage. I tried with other Micro SDs, same problem...

Unable to use OTG on android 4.4.2 head unit after firmware upgrade

I wanted to use a carplay device with my car . for this purpose I installed a firmware upgrade in order to unable to installation of applications.
After the upgrade, access to files on USB was lost .
Upgrade was taken from here :
That means that before an upgrade, I was able to listen to the music from USB stick via builtin media player. After the upgrade, media player does not see the USB.
For the same reason, carplay app doesnot see the device attached to USB port.
The strange thing is that I can see the files via file explorer ( from the head unit) , they are available at /storage/udisk.
so from one side the unit can see the USB and files, but from other side applications cant see it .
What can be the problem and possible solution ?
The details about versions :
car type : Mitsubishi Outlander 2016
MGCOL_MITSU1
Android version
4.4.2
Baseband version
MPSS.TR.1,0-01780-M8626AAAAANAZM

Permissions... file managers generally have global permissions.
Check through settings under storage and individual apps. That's my guess.

yes , I was thinking about it too.
The problem that when I want to change permissions via this file explorer , I got the error message that I am not root . but I do .
How can I be sure that I do root , or alternatively how to change permissions ?

Many times if a app is well coded and needs special permissions it will ask for them during installation. Sometimes they can be set after the fact. Try looking in accessibility.
I haven't played with Kitkat in years but generally it's pretty straight forward. I don't root so know very little on that side. ABD editing might be another option but my knowledge of that is very limited.
Try doing a bunch of Google searches for similar problems with Kitkat storage. The device doesn't have to be the same. You can find solutions many time by cross referencing other devices even platforms.
Many issues are long standing
After the initial search for each parameter, add XDA at the end to find posts here about it easily.
Doing searches for solutions is how I first learned of XDA many years ago

I rooted the device , gave permissions , but nothing happend.
I put the app in the system/app folder , installed it from there . also does not helped ...
somehow a tool called 'root explorer' can see the usb content, but my app or media player cant see it .

Ummm, I take OTG support for granted... but does your OS/device support it?
Maybe this is the issue?
Incompatible format on the card?
Try formatting card in the device then load data preferably with that device.
Swapping cards between devices can cause issues if each device is writing to it. Haven't seen it happen on Androids but Canon cams, hell yeah.

I tried several cards , small and big , formatted in a different ways.
And my device worked in the past , it is something that happened after the upgrade

It's rooted?
If it was a OTA upgrade I normally say factory reset time. In your case, not sure that's the right thing to do.
It's not the cards, it's settings or firmware I think it's safe to say.
Try clearing the system cache and a hard reboot.
Try in safe mode to rule out a rogue 3rd party app. Try clearing the data in the associated system apks.
Sometimes poorly coded 3rd party apps can toggle hidden user settings that remain even after uninstall. It's rare but quit the horror when it happens. Scruntinize the apps you installed.
One other irritating thing I've seen happen is clearing the data of a system appd in settings doesn't always remove presumably null marks. When I cleared the data with my package disabler, it fixed the problem.
Saved me a factory reset.
Fun isn't it? Been running down some glitches on my N10+'s, eventually you'll sort it out.
Keep at it over the course of a few days, weeks...
