General :: Why Does Reading SD Card Not Require Permission

Jan 23, 2012

Like the title says why are apps allowed to read the contents of files on the SD card without asking permission? Apps have to ask to read SMS, Calendar, and everything else. It seems like a huge security hole to me.

Sep 25, 2010

My friend's Epic/PC will not pick up his micro SD card. I told him to try what it said in the manual to reformat it, but the problem is that the phone will not even read the card in the first place. Do you think the card has died already?

Samsung Captivate :: Phone Not Reading Sd Card

Aug 5, 2010

how to apply to lag fix by partitioning my sd card. I followed the guide to the t using Paragon Hard Disk Manager. When I deleted my external SD card partition, it wouldn't let me re-partition it. Now my computer won't even recognize my phone. When I go into settings->SD card and phone storage, both the internal and external SD card show "Unavailable" under the space heading. The unmount and format options are greyed out as well. What do I need to do to get my phone back the way it was? I would just like my phone back the way it was and would like to get this lag fix working. Here are the video tutorials I followed and the original site I found.

HTC Incredible :: New SD Card Transfer File / Data Reading Off

Jul 23, 2010

I searched the Incredible forums and sub forums and could not find an answer to this question, though I am sure it has been asked: If I want to go from my stock 2 GB card to a new card, and I want to preserve data AND have all apps still be able to read whatever data they were reading off the card, do I just transfer the files from one card to the other? I bet the only thing I need to make sure of is that new card is formatted with the same file system as the original card, right? I know copying data from one card to the other will preserve data, but I want to make sure I have no problems with apps, either, after inserting the newer card.

Android :: Reading Pictures Written By Camera To SD Card

May 24, 2010

I want to access camera pictures and camera pictures only. I could not find a specification of how the default camera application stores pictures...

1) Is /sdcard/DCIM a standard of any kind? On the Android devices I've used, it looks like the default camera app always writes to this location. Are there devices where pictures are written to a different location? 2) Is it specified that camera JPEGs will always be accessible on the file system? (And not in some private database for example?)

I'm hoping that if the above two are true, then I can simplify my code by simply reading the jpeg's in /sdcard/dcim. Or do I have to use MediaStore.Images.Media.query() for reliable access to camera images?

Android :: Upgrade With SD Card Write Permission

Oct 23, 2009

If you have an app that targets 1.6 ( using targetSdkVersion=4 ) and that is still backward compatible with 1.5 (using minSdkVersion=3) , and it has the new WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission because it writes to the SD card, there is a problem when the OS is upgraded to 1.6. If a user has Android 1.5 with the app installed, and then gets Android 1.6, the permission is not granted and writing fails. The issue can be solved if the user re-installs the app. I have not experienced the issue myself, but a few users have reported it. Can anybody else confirm this. There is not much that can be done about it, but it would need to be adressed if there is another OS upgrade.

HTC Desire :: Insufficient Permission Error On SD Card

Jul 9, 2010

I know this was a common error experienced by a lot of people, but did anyone ever get to the bottom of it. I have just had it for the first time.

The EVO 4 had a similar problem and HTC moved quickly to release an update which seems to have solved it.

I had heard that the bug could be caused by the auto-backup feature, so I had never used it. However, I recently turned auto-back up on and, low and behold, I get the error. A reboot fixes the problem and I have not had it again since, although I have turned auto-update off.

Some people say auto-update messes up the permissions, others say the supplied cards are of a low quality and prone to corruption... but does anyone know for sure?

Whilst the error is present, you cannot modify the contents of the card and cannot therefore take pictures etc.

I'm wondering if there is a good application for my droid that will use the GPS to get me around with a preloaded map database so that it doesn't rely on me having a data connection.

Edit: did some research, looks like osmand and mapdroyd are the best choices. Any user opinions on which is better and why?

General :: Creating App Which Require Root Access

Nov 13, 2012

creating an app which requires root access.Purpose of this app

1) Able to access a file in root/data/data/*APP XYZ*/*THIS FILE*
2) Generate a random string of number
3) Replace the specific string in *THIS FILE* with the randomly generated number
4) Saves *This File*

Right now I can do it manually but it is rather tedious. Was thinking if it would be possible to create an app to do this automatically with one click.

General :: Does ICS Update Require Stock Gingerbread Installed

Jul 6, 2012

I'm a proud user of a Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman and it's currently running on Hybrom v17 and Rage Kernel, but it's still signed as Android 2.3.4. I searched on the internet and it seems that people from my country, with the same phone model and operator are getting the official update... But I still don't have it in my PC Companion... Do I have to return to the stock version of Gingerbread to get the update? If so, do I have to change the kernel back to stock too?

General :: Apps That Require Permissions Not Needed For Task

Feb 20, 2013

I didnt have a smartphone for a while and i just got a shining new nexus 4.

I want to installs all the apps out there but i realise many of them require permissions that (i think) are not actually needed by the app to do whatever it needs to do..

For example i want to install power toggles it asks to use my camera... cant the flashlight be turned on without allowing the camera to be used?

Anyways, i realise that apps that sometimes do the exact same things require different permissions, hence... ?

So main question is: is the permission to use the camera really required by an app that turns on the led?
