Hey
I read what some Zebra "Android Phone" Support a "Secure Access Module (SAM) Card".
On Wikiepia i see the are somethink wit de/ encoding.
Is that something like a Encyition Module like TPM on my Pc and Laptop Board?!
Does i need an "Operator" or external Company for any Service?!

Hello folks,
there are portable network storages with built-in WiFi and battery available like CloudFTP, Seagate Goflex Satellite etc. I always wanted such a thing because I could put all my music on this network storage, mount the storage on my tablet file system with CIFS Manager and use PowerAMP to index and access the music files in a comfortable manner. For me, it's important that the device has hotspot functionality because I want to be able to use the server even when no other WiFi or other wireless connection is available.
I had the CloudFTP, and it worked somehow, but it was very unreliable and in fact unusable (there are many complaints about lacking QC in the respective forums, by the way...) and I returned it. And the Goflex Satellite is only usable with a hacked firmware which is $35, so it's way too expensive.
So I had the following idea: My rooted SGS2 has mobile hotspot functionality and the app "Samba Filesharing" which works good. Why not use the phone instead of a CloudFTP?? Just connect a USB disk drive to the phone, and here you go!
Up to now, I can indeed access the storage on the phone from my (of course also rooted) Nexus 7 over a file manager like ES File Explorer. Works really well and easily fast enough! For watching videos or accessing documents this would be sufficient and the story would end here - but for using PowerAMP or Gonemad Music Player I have to MOUNT the server storage, otherwise indexing is impossible!
CIFS Manager seems not to be able to mount the server share! It always says that there is not such a device.
I already tried different URLs like "/192.168.43.1/" or "/192.168.43.1/SDCARD" or "192.168.43.1/sdcard" or "192.168.43.1/ANDROID" etc. - all with no success! :crying:
What am I doing wrong? Or is mounting not possible in this case??
Could someone test this on his setup and possibly suggest working settings parameters for CIFS Manager?
Thaaaaanks in advance!
Best Wishes,
Hasenbein
Nobody an idea??
Is it probably a port issue??
I'm looking for an application that can read another MTP device via USB otg. I can see the device in "USB Host Viewer" from the play store. And there is at least some "MTPDevice" support in the android api, but that doesn't mean that it works.
Is this possible?
Hello Freaks and Experts,
I have one question and I have some news for some of you.
I played around a bit with my new ViewSonic "SD-A245". Well, some of you knows (maybe), that this "version" is one of 3 possible solutions from them. First this unit is sold as VSD241 with Android Consumer Platform (with PlayStore), next version is the SD-A245 (my current unit) used as a cooperation platform to VDI-solutions and finally a unit called CDS245, made for signage solutions.
Based on the fact, that my unit is the SD-A245 version, the given Android version is the 4.2.1 with at last minimum functions I have ever seen on such units! Well it come with Citrix WorxHome nobody needs. Some functions are locked (the app "Device ID" reports "Emails:", but the device id is "NOT FOUND". The Google Store-used app has the version 1.1. So I think it should work...
Next time I'll sent photos, but I'm new here and has to check this, how it works first...
So how did I get access to the unit and how it was possible to set it up, that it works almost perfectly to my needs?
First I have installed the software "Wondershare MobileGO" with version 8.5.0. Under my unit you can connect it with the micro USB-plug onto the USB-plug from your computer. Doing so will popup USB-Debugging (activate this first, it is NOT blocked) and now this tool reports "Quanta SD-A245"! Wow! On the left tab you have "Apps" splitted into "User-Apps" and "System-Apps". Here you find "Settings" and the WorxHome App version 8.6.1. Click on it and try to delete it with the trash bin has no success! (don't worry here). On the upper tab you'll find "Installing". Here it is possible to install some "Apps" with *.apk format! Here it is easily to install apps without the need from the 24" tablet. Well, to keep it easy from now on, you should first install a file manager! Choose anything you like. I installed the "ES file explorer" with version 4.1.6.7.2. Install "Android ID Changer", "Apex Launcher", "Chrome", "Device ID", "Dr.Fone for Android", "Droid Info" (version 1.2.1), "Google Account Manager" (version 4.4.4-1227136), "Google Play Store" (version 8.1.25.S-all [0] [PR] 163906778), Titatium Backup (with Purify in version 8.0.2 and 2.1.5.265) and all your other apps you like!
What did I do first?
First comes the file explorer tool! Sure! Downloading *.apk files is possible from now on directly include executing them!
With the tool Titanium Backup I went (after installing them) into the "MENÜ" (in german spell) - it is on the top right corner, you can scroll down to find the propper entry to root your device (if someone wants to do that). There is also a button in the Wondershare MobilGO software (blue button "1 Click Root") but this is a fake (even to tool reports "your device is rooted") or will not work. Well, NO.
So use TB and all will work, follow YouTube Videos on that - or the information on the screen - easy to do!
After you started this process, the system hangs after around 10 minutes of "working". Don't worry, switch it off now, then on again and repeat this rooting process. Afte 1 minute all has done. Voilá, all is now like wanted (OK)!
I can provide a list what apps I have installed, but with a real file manager (installing them as bypass to the Citrix kernel) this was a real door opener here...
And now to another option, and my question (Google PlayStore crashes sometimes, and I did not get really access to the id of the system and Google can therefore not check, what apps are installed or which needs to be updated...
I just bought a fabolous HDMI Quad-Core USB-Stick with full working Android 4.4 plugged into it and powered from it and changed the input mode to now "HDMI". Well, the picture is not as good as from the system itself, but for around 25 Euro I can accept this little quality issue! I have now again an android system with 100% access to all my bought apps, my playstore, my accounts and so on...
We all know, that the touch is not working now. Connecting the micro-USB cable into the stick does not switch on the touch functions automatically. The MK809 III - USB-Stick supports only "general devices" like regular cable micees and keyboards, bluetooth equipmant and other, but not the touch controller from that unit itself. Well, windows 7/8 or 10 did respond to this and uses the correct driver (and it works), so I know the hardware platform now, but how can I tell Android 4.4.4 coming along with this stick that it "enable" this and use the built in touch controller???
How?
Does anybody has an idea?
I have read somewhere, that I have to compile "a driver information file" into the android's kernel??? Is this the solution???
Kind regards, Thomas
Backing up camera photos, messenger pics, contacts, documents etc. to Windows in their original format.
Smartphone: unrooted Mate9 with Android 8
What I used to do:
Connect my previous phone (rooted Ascend Mate) to Windows via USB, it's SD card got connected as a real mass storage device. I then ran a custom robocopy batch routine that backed up/mirrored all the important things to my computer. I folder mounted everything interesting from the internal memory to the SD card, like messenger pics.
This worked really great.
Problem I have now:
My new Mate9 does not support true USB mass storage connection anymore. It only supports this awful pseudo MTP file transfer connection to Windows.
This makes robocopy unusable because it only works with real drives with an assigned letters of course.
I really don't know what to do now.
Any cloud backup solution is not an option for me, because of sensitive data and slow internet. Full phone backups feel like an overkill and I cannot access the files on the computer directly.
I know that some people run a samba server or something on their phones to turn the storage into NAS drives. (Robocopy supports NAS I think) This seems to be maximum overkill and difficult to setup and resource intense but I'm interested if its the only way.
Any tips? Thank you
Don't know much about Windows, or MPT for that matter, but perhaps you could map your device (folders you need) to a letter drive? If I recall correctly, that mapping will allow you to read the files located on the MPT drive.
This is acually possible. I found a commercial software that lets you map a driver letter to an MTP device but it's $40.
Did some more research and getting a drive letter for Android storage over WiFi is acually stupidly easy.
Just install WebDav Server on Android and click the button. Then on Windows Explorer -> Map Network Driver and enter the IP displayed on Android. Thats literally it.
I only hope that I can get two drive letters for internal and external storage. Need to try.
So I found a complete solution that I'm VERY happy with!
Its running two WebDAV servers on Androind, one for accessing the internal storage and one for the sd card. This allows me to map 2 network drives in Windows and that means robocopy magic!
Here is how I did it:
1. Install the free app WebDAV Server Ultimate. This app allows you to run multiple servers at once AND let you specify custom storage paths. Both things that the other popular app WebDAV Server can't do!
2. Create two new servers in the app with the plus button and specify the according storage paths. Also make sure these two servers use different ports. The name can be specified freely. Click on the play button to start the servers.
3. Open the Windows Explorer and click "Map network drive" in the top bar. A new window pops up: Pick a drive letter you want and enter the Network IP of your smartphone and the port under "Folder" like this example sceme: \\192.168.178.01:8080 Also check the box "Reconect at logon" if you want the drives to still be there after a restart. The your current phone IP can be viewed in the WebDAV app when you klick on the info icon.
Thats it basically. After that you have your internal storage and sd card mapped to driveletters in Windows over WiFi. Just write your robocopy routine and do one click backups You can check "Keep the device fully alive" in the WebDAV app settings which helped stability and might improve speed. I got about 4-5 MB/s which isn't fast but fast enough for me.
One more thing:
If you use Windows 7 and you want to transfer files bigger 50 MB you have to do this registry workaround by Microsoft. For security reasons, Windows 7 limits WebDAV filetransfers at 50 MB by default.

Good stuff, I'd consider making a how-to thread in your devices forum for others!
Have WiFi issues in my house. Want to hookup an ethernet cord to my phone. Purchased an Ethernet (RJ45) to USB-C dongle on Amazon. Doesn't work. Watched several videos online to make sure I wasn't missing anything. Dongle simply doesn't work. Returned. Looking at new dongles now.
Found one that says it should work if your vendor included the driver "ASIX AX88772A" in the Android OS. Found another that says the dongle uses the "RTL8153B Chipset". I have two different model phones here and am wondering how I can verify before purchase if my phone supports a particular chipset or contains a certain driver. Tried searching online but haven't found anything yet. Feeling stuck.
goto Device Manager then view>show hidden devices from there just find the hardware with warning logo beside there name...

This sounds like you are describing an action I could take in Windows. But I am asking for instructions related to the Android OS. Maybe I have misunderstood something?

To get to know all the drivers, you need to go through the /sys directory.

I tried to use Solid Explorer to access the /sys directory.
I went to Settings -> Storage -> System
I plugged my phone into my PC and accessed it using my file browser. It did not show me root, but /storage/emulated/0 instead, with no way to move higher in the folder hierarchy.
I setup an FTP Server app and accessed my phone using Filezilla from my PC. I configured the FTP Server's "home" directory to Root. All it showed was an empty folder. None of the system folders were listed there. When I configured it to /storage/emulated/0 I was unable to move higher in the folder hierarchy.
In all cases I am unable to view the contents of the /sys directory. My phone is not rooted. Is this something I can check without having a rooted phone?
@Mulsiphix
You might use ES FileExplorer to access / read the protected directories / files on Android: ES FileExplorer can get turned into ES RootExplorer.

I just tried this but none of the files show in the root, even with Show Hidden Files and Folders and Root Explorer options enabled. I'm trying to figure out how to root my phone but I am having trouble finding any evidence the Kyocera DuraForce Pro 2 can even be rooted. I hope this super expensive phone wasn't a poor choice =(

I believe it might have been a poor choice friend. For rooting purposes that is. The phone is encrypted from the factory and uses several layers of security to impede attempts to even capture useful logs. It's a military grade phone with I believe 4 or 5 layers of security between the user and the kernel. I myself have been looking for a way to root this to exploit the NFC feature to read and spoof my work badge for ****s and giggles.... not no avail. BUT..... I beat the living **** out of the phone and being I own the Verizon variant with Sapphire Glass, there is not one single blemish on my screen and works with my NFC FIDO2 U2F key for almost all auths where I choose not to op for bio.
