Funny yet sad

I just think my situation with my phone if quite funny first off my storage doesn't work anymore but charge still does, so if I make any mistakes I have about 2 minutes to odin anything and that's if my phone decides to read on my computer, I've tried many things to fix it nothing worked lol. I'm just grateful we have a awesome dev like jt and nemesis + others won I can't recall but I'm sure they know who they are...yup talking about you big guy up stairs...you keep me up all night and give me time to be on my phone on xda to make a meaningless post such as this with all your noise, lol jk. But yes thanks devs of the fascinate and all who contribute, and swype for putting up with my bad spelling

I would try to reinstall the phone drivers to try and get data going again
A) If you are using a Touchwiz based ROM (COMROM, Evil Fascinate) you will need the Samsung Fascinate driver.
B) If you are using a MTD based ROM (CM7, MIUI, OMFGB) you will need to use the Nexus S drivers.
Failing that a complete uninstall/reinstall of the windows USB stack can sometimes help. m Additionally, judging by your wording it sounds like Odin working is intermittent. That could be the sign of a failing USB cable.

Haven't tried nexus drivers I an on mtd miui

Yup if you are on an mtd rom you need the nexus drivers.

Never updated my drivers. Never had problems connecting my phone to USB. I used USB Mass Storage, ODIN, USB Mass Storage in CWM, etc. Still just using the standard Samsung development drivers that I've always used for Windows 7 for my fascinate.

Thats wonderful for you.

so i installed the nexus drivers and now my usb works thanks alot, but im still a lil confused on how my problem started in com rom 2.1 though lol i guess i will never know

Oh great...I haven't tried this yet, but I upgraded to OS X Lion, so most likely it won't work for me...
Damn, now I have to use SSH/FTP if I want to transfer files from Comp to Phone...

Nah, you have to buy the new OS on the Mac App Store for $30. Great deal in my opinion compared to Windows 7 Prices ($200+ jeezus!)
@Korey, what's 10.7.2? Isn't it the dev release of the new update or something?

I'll start by saying I've been Snow Leopard as long as I've had the Epic.
You trying to connect through a Cinema Display? When I connect my Epic to the monitor (24 inch with 3 usb ports) it never mounts, but if I connect it straight to the MacPro it does. Never been able to figure that one out, but I've found that to be the case. Real PITA because all of the USB ports on the MacPro and both Cinema Displays are used - although one of the ports on the display is used on a handy charging cable for the phone.
That said I've never had trouble mounting on Windows, straight to my PC or through a hub.
I think it's just a problem between Macs and our phone.
Sidenote - sometimes when I connect my Epic to the Cinema Display it causes a freak out and the Mac says a device was trying to draw too much current so it disconnects the hub inside the Cinema display which disconnects all connected peripherals, the webcam, and the speakers until I disconnect the screen's USB cable from the back of the tower and reconnect. Anyone have a clue how to prevent this?

I don't mean an upgrade. I mean the full thing. Yeah some are cheaper, but I mean ones like W7 Ultimate is very pricey

Glad to hear it's not just happening to me. Hoping Apple pushes out an update.
If anyone figures out how to mount their phone please reply in this thread.
Thx!

You guys had any luck getting this working? I have the same issue ... Running Cyanogenmod 7 on my HTC Desire.

Same here as well. although. I noticed the my Mac Book pro that gave with 10.7 doesn't read my epic as a mass storage device. But when I plug it into a friends mac book pro that was upgraded from 10.6 to 10.7 detects mass storage just fine.
I downloaded, and installed a update for Kies, but that didn't seem to do anything either ( i have rebooted yet, will up date this post if it works after a reboot.).
If anyone figures this out please update this thread.

Fix
Shutdown you Mac, boot into safe mode. Press and hold shift key after the chime when you power on your mac. You will know that you're in safe mode because only programs that came with Lion will boot. Fully boot into Lion, then restart back into regular mode. Connect your phone, turn on USB mass storage mode. Should be working now. Apparently the issue has to do with corrupt driver cache.

$30 every year vs. $250 every 5 years, both companies are about the same just one releases quicker and gets ya for small chunks when your not looking

Windows 8

I tried to install the Samsung drivers under windows 8 without success. I ended up installing it on a virtual windowsXP machine running under VirtualBox on the win8 machine and it works fine.
I put the phone in download mode and fired up Odin and it recognize the phone.

been on 8 primarily since the dev preview, never had issues. I use the google USB drivers since I'm on ics.

I'm still on Windows XP haha, I meant to upgrade to Win 7 but never did since I can't afford to upgrade my motherboard/cpu/ram/etc. Windows 8 looks promising... but I don't really know how I feel about it looking/feeling like a mobile platform rather than a more 'traditional' desktop feel. Do they let you change it to look like traditional Windows or not?

I tried to install the sdk but it's complaining that it can't find java.exe or the java sdk even though it's installed and jave.exe is right where it says it can't find it. Did you run into anything like that?
EDIT: never mind. I was installing the 64 bit version. the sdk wants to see the 32 bit version.

not sure.. it should be using the same drivers. make sure you have those along with the Samsung ones, and I think I have the nexus cm7 drivers installed from somewhere.

How to use a usb keyboard

To get it working I saw online that you need to get into advance options. Where is advance options? I don't see it.
Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using xda app-developers app

You dont need to set any options at all. Get an otg cable, and plug it in. Thats it and thats all.

Not working for me. I've tried two different ones and I know the otg cable works. I plugged the keyboard in and nothing happens

Different otg cables are made for different devices. Some wont work with the n7. There are absolutely no options you need to set for a usb keyboard to work. None. It is completely automatic. I have used it with stock and many custom roms. No settings needed. None. I would bet that the otg that works with your rzr will not work with the n7.

I used this otg cable on my 8GB nexus 7 with an external sd card. Now I have a 16GB and I'm trying to use the same cable with the keyboard. This is what I saw on Amazon:
I'm just trying to find those settings
Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using xda app-developers app

I dont know how many ways to say that there are no settings for that. Either it works, or it doesnt. There are NO options for it in settings. The ability to use a usb kb is built into the kernel. Are you running stock or custom? 4.1.x or 4.2.x? Which kernel?
Also, the pic you posted is from January. That means that the poster was stating settings from either gingerbread or honeycomb. Alot of those settings are not present, nor needed in jellybean. In short, those settings are not going to be found on an n7, since jellybean is the only android revision it can currently run.

Need USB port waking up app or shortcut.
Hi guys. I have a N7 and I bought http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-Leath...es_Covers_Keyboard_Folios&hash=item484c513364 .
The keyboard is nice since it's also a case- the only issue that is bothereing me is that after tablet goes to sleep. so does the keayboard since it is powered by my tablet wia micro usb port. But that doesn't bother me. What bothers me is that when I start using the table again I everytime have to unplug the case and plug it back in so that nexus activated the usb port again and starts povering the keayboard. What would make this case perfect would be some kind of app or just a shortcut to put on my homescrean that wouls simulate the unpluging/plugging back in...
This would realy make my nexus7 with the case perfect.
I downloaded a couple of script running apps but don't know anything of calling the USB port and waking it up... and haven't found any scripts to run and test.
Let me know if you know/find something about this...

Linux kernels

Has anyone built a kernel or otherwise tried Linux on their note 3?
I found a great app called limbo that did it all in qemu but the project died a few days after the note3 came out.
While not perfect, it ran much better than my old phone did (I even booted xp for kicks).
That said I'd like to run linux/vnc/etc native as well as a better virtual machine app...
Any pointers?
