[Q] Any experts out there?

I can't seem to find a solution to my problem. Please see attachment. Basically, I cannot use my camera or gallery because of a No External Storage Available message. I wanted to take pictures and clips over the holiday period (I haven't got a proper camera)... I would be very grateful for any help! Cheers!:fingers-crossed:

It would help if you attached a screenshot of your Storage screen in Settings. That will show what is available and what is used. Perhaps we can find your memory hog.

Thanks for your reply. Here is the screenshot. Seems ok, no?

Is this a 16gb model? Its showing less than 6gb of total storage,did you do something that changed partitions or something?

Your images folder might have been deleted or is corrupted,maybe a cause for gallery and your camera not finding it.
Sent from my SGH-I927 using xda app-developers app

Hi! No, it's the 8GB model, one of the very first batch...
I may very well have deleted the image folder when I was having problems with the update to 4.2. It would be great if you could tell me where to put it back (under pictures?) and what to name it. Thanks!

Is the path mine uses on stock 4.2.1. You might want hook it up to a computer to find it unless you have a file manager.
Sent from my SGH-I927 using xda app-developers app

Oh, using ES File Explorer I can see that I have this folder, and I even have some pictures in it taken before the 4.2 update. For some reason my camera and gallery can't access it. Any ideas?

have you tried using other cameera applications or quickpic and if so what were the results?

Maybe try to empty the folder onto your pc,maybe it is set to only use so much of the memory.
I have never used my camera so I can only make suggestions.
Sorry I cant help more.

Just a thougt... did you try clearing the cache of gallery app..... settings - apps - all - gallery ... clear cache
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2

go into apps in settings and clear galarys data and cache, force stop it to.
if all elce fails you could fastboot flash 4.2.1, after backing everything up with titanium backup.

What is this file being created?

Hey guys been looking for an answer but only found a thread on evo 3d forums that doesn't have much activity, anyways I keep getting this file created every hour or so and its really starting to scare me maybe spyware or something. Trying to figure out why and where its coming from. Also attached inside contents.

I would download Avast from Google Play and scan sdcard and apps. Not sure what it is. Looks like spam-ware.

I found that in my phone the other day too. I don't know what it is, but it doesn't really do anything.

Could be a log file. I'm not sure what it is. I would scan again once it appears. Not sure if it is I needed file or not. I don't have a nex 4 but was looking into getting one that's why I'm at the forum.
You can try sd maid which has a system cleaner. Or change the files permissions if you are worried about it transmitting data. But I wouldn't mess with it too much until you figure out what it is.

You guys could wipe your sdcard with twrp if you are worried, but back up all your wanted sdcard data to a computer first. And then put it back on right after. I do that with my Nexus 7 sometime. Not sure if it is the same process on Nex4. It may not be necessary, not sure.

Yes, the camera has flash out of the box... (no need to install additional flashes, it works more than ones, not like old cameras were you needed to buy more "flashes" ) Just don't look at it directly or too close when taking pictures... Lol

Camera flash, definitely.
Adobe flash, high chance that the stock browser won't support it seeing as how that seems to be the case on the S4), but Boat Browser and Firefox are just two of many options if you need flash.

Newest Adobe Flash apk attached. Install with a file manager and run Firefox instead of default browser. Win.

Yes I still do this but soon it is not going to work ... as its been a year since they said they will stop Development. .. soon the real world will have to catch up by using html5
It may be when kit kat comes out that it may stop working

I'm experiencing the same problem and hope someone has a helpful solution

I've noticed the volume on the Note 3 to be the same as on the 2, however the sound seems to be much better. Especially when using an external speaker via bluetooth.

Sound is better than sgs3 but it is a lot quieter. It badly needs an amp

Without custom recovery can we get boosted sound?

You sure can, Viper4Android.

this works pretty good, just extract the files in the system folder and place them in the corresponding folder on your phone with root explorer, change permissions then reboot.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2469463

I couldn't find the stock file. It definitely worked on 4.1.2 touchwiz, but I can't see how it would work if there's no file to begin with.
Used to be in system/etc/ folder but for the life of me, can't find it now on 4.3

Sent from my SM-N900V using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Viper4Android allows you to customize headphone sound and phone speaker sound separately just like a few other equalizer/sound mod apps do. It's available in the Play Store and it works wonders. The sound I got out of my old phone (S3) and my current phone (Note 3) with V4A made a huge undeniable difference.
Link to download the .apk and install from Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vipercn.viper4android4x&hl=en
It has multiple types of volume boost functions along with a great equalizer and many other useful features.

When u unzip the file preferably in root expkorer there are two folders in the file go thru them one has 2 file in it one has 1 file in it. The one that has one in it is the one u need follow the folders name that that file was in and put it in the corresponding folder in system. I know it sounds confusing I will edit this in a few I was typing this and realized I deleted the zip after moving the file.
Edit....
Move this file to system>etc>(file)

I definitely know how/where to put the file....permissions...etc.
Just wanted to see if it actually made a difference since stock TW doesn't have this file anymore. If not having a stock file in place to begin with, adding a edited version would seem to be useless.
Just curious

what did you use to edit setting db? i cant get it to edit without crashing

This has been done for a while:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2719582
That being said, I skimmed the thread and I don't think the author posted exactly what settings were changed in the corresponding files. Even though it mentions all variants, sometimes the apk's vary between carrier software versions, so if you do intend to copy the files to the corresponding places from the (presumably 2.1 ODEX) zip in the OP of that thread, make sure you make a backup just in case,
Also, realize that you may be at risk to bootloop and unable to access adb if the boot procedure stops early, thus forcing you to reflash the original factory ODIN file, which means you'd lose any data/settings by reverting to factory defaults.

Hey guys I've beetn working on this a little bit. Check out this thread. It looks to be a difference in the services.jar file where the very obviously states "This feature is disabled" multiple times. It's in a folder called SmartBonding.
