How to get rid of "External Storage Inserted" Notification - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

It shows up on bottom right whenever SD card is inserted. How do i get rid of it? Kinda annoying to look at.

Don't think you can. I've been staring at it for 2 weeks! Maybe when some ROMs are available.

Yeah hopefully as the custom ROM scene matures the devs roll get rid of that and maybe the dock icon. There seems to be a lot of notification spam in ics/honeycomb...unless it's an Asus thing

Notifications come from apps only (some may be system ones, of course), since apps can call notifications. I suppose this external storage notification is called by ASUS tweaked app, since MicroSD was never notified on my old HTC Desire.

I'd like to know as well. Just received my Amazon 16gb sdcard today and I see the same thing when I inserted it.

Just to point out, Acer Iconia Tab A501 has that (extremely annoying) notification as well, both on stock and custom rom.

Probably an ICS thing then.

It's honeycomb/ics thing...been like that since the beginning

Stuff like this can surely be fixed in a ROM or a hack once bootloader is unlocked and your rooted. I don't "think" root alone can stop it. I looked in SystemUI and do not see the notification icon.

Is there any other way besides using a different ROM to hide the notification?

What I do is un-mount the sd card when not using it, but leave it in the slot. Then when I want to use it again I re-mount it...that way it is still stored in the slot. 2 quick pushes on the card make its data available again.

I kind of like it, it reminds me that my SD card has not fallen out of the drive.

Try this, and see if it works.
1. go to Settings -> Asus Customized Settings-> uncheck "Use ASUS Quick Setting" -> exit
2. Bring up the notification menu (tap bottom right corner where the time and wifi signal is) -> tap the settings button under the time -> Turn Notification off -> tap settings at the bottom -> go back to Asus Customized Settings and turn on the Quick Settings. -> Exit
I now do not have the docking icon or the external drive icon, only the time, wifi signal and the power icons.

Hey that works!
But doesn't that turn off system wide notifications?

I don't know. I was just "playing around" one day and came across it. I forgot about it until you brought it up. Sorry, I'm just a noob user like many people here.

Personally I prefer having it as well. I think it's probably just a design choice. A decision had to be made on weather to optimize this functionality for those who plug in the card and rarely if ever take it out vs those of us who are frequently pulling it out and putting it back in. If you are frequently removing it for use outside the prime, the notification is a good thing.
For example at work, I typically do not have my usb cable with me however I do have a card reader that will read my micro sd card from the prime or my SD card from the dock (the dock sd card has the notification too FYI). So when I want to transfer something to my prime, the easiest way is often to pull the card from the device and stick it in the computer. When getting ready to pull a card, the icons are a good reminder to tell me they are currently still mounted.
So I guess its a case of one man's annoyance is another man's feature. I happen to like it the way it is.

I didn't like it at first.. Then I lost a microsd card and I knew I had lost it because the icon had disappeared..

development screen settings

has anyone else found this screen and what to do with it, other than the obvious usb tabs. i having trouble with screen shot but if you tap the left bottom corner of the screen, the notifications window will come up, as you push in the usb cable to charge, this will expand and give you the standard usb notfication. if you press this notification, a settings screen will appear, evev after removal of usb cable.
hopefully screen shots will appear.
Wow I had no idea lol
Ok so if you install anycut you can make a direct link to the development settings so no need to play with a usb cable.
That token setting looks interesting but it just closes to home ill have to play with logcat later
anycut gives a lot of very interesting options... but though I made shortcuts I can't see them in any of my launchers. I have Launcher Pro, the Nook standard one and Zeam. No default... i rather like the options.
But some of the options given by Anycut are keyboard settings and CDMA/GPRS/Network settings.
Wow, has anyone tried that on a non-rooted nook?
That's the main difference to Anycut... of course we can get to these settings once we have rooted. But if this screen can be accessed via a standard nook, that hasn't been "nootered", we can just enable adb there. Whether adb then has root access (as with nooter) I don't know, but still it's a new and easier angle at getting access to the device.
I got it to show up this way:
(0. no USB connected)
1. press the left bottom corner ... this will show you the original android notification bar as popup
2. connect USB cable (to PC and device)
3. you usually can't do anything because of the USB-Mode popup, but since the notification bar has focus we can touch the icon that now appears there.
-> remove cable and you are on the screen shown in OP's post.

I just tried this on my un-rooted nook, and wasn't able to get the screen to appear.
The USB dialog he's referring to should only appear if you're rooted and ADB is enabled.
This potentially means, however, that the rest of the settings aren't actually removed from the nook, just hidden, and that there should be a way to access them somehow.
Ohhhh that would be nice..

Several options will be more functional if you harvest the "extra" apps installed on the nookcolor emulator that ships as part of the SDK.
Also, if you're curious about how to toggle this setting without the UI,
have a look at /data/property/persist.service.mount.umsauto
How do you actually get the card to mount in the future if you disable auto mounting of it?

[q] Liquid Smooth Problem

When I try to switch to "mount sd card" on the computer, I get this error. I believe I switched to the "themed" status bar, and I think that's the problem. I try to go back to the "Stock" status bar and pretty much the whole thing crashes for a bit, then reboots to the "themed" one.. so.. mm yeah. That, or the two are the same (but they aren't.. i've used both ).
I'm pretty much a total noob when it comes to phone stuff. Should I just wing it and wipe all my data?
The attached pic is the error I get when I hit "click this to change setting" for mount and stuff. then poof buh bye status bar
I get a systemui error when I try to change the status bar.
Thanks for anyone who helps!! <3

Not sure how your phone is set up, but almost sounds like your custom status bar programing is on your SD card...

Think of it this way... What programs do you still want access to when your phone is in usb mode? Personally, I have any programs related to phone use and settings manipulation on phone memory, all others on sd card memory. Like anything that is a customization or has root access, leave on your phone. Hell, I even transferred my personal ringtones to phone memory.
Go to settings/applications/manage/downloaded tab. Each app that you click can be swithed from being stored on phone or SD card memory there. Be sure your phone customizations are not.

List of ROM Ideas! (add your own!)

Okay so I have a few ideas for ROMS (I know Its a little early but still) In no specific order
1. The ablity to remap the 16 shortcut keys on the keyboard to whatever you want! (kinda like the quick toggle widgets but for the dock keys)
the reason I want this is because I keep pressing the arrow keys while typing and it keeps messing up when im typing! Can we disable these just like you can disable the mouse!
A list of shortcuts I would love to be assigned to the dock!
*All of the stock ones
*A wake function
*Ability to map application shortcuts (Market, browser ect.)
*Mount/Unmount SD card Micro+Full
*Pull up the quick toggle/notification bar! (also add more toggles in that menu)
2. A better dock to tablet charging policy (multiple governs)
3. Hide the on screen home back keys when dock is attached! (kinda like when you watch a full screen youtube video!)
4. Get rid of the SD card notification
5. Switch to a password unlock when the dock is connected (instead of pattern?)
6. Optimize the GPS
7. Disable all of the dock keys
Add any of your other Ideas below and I will add them to the list!

would this not be best in the android Development forum?

ahh makes sense.. I like I like
Not sure if this is possible but i would love (and send donations to) a developer who can get rid of the MTP and allow USB Mass Storage connection with my desktop.
Once we get the botloader unlock/custom recovery I do believe I can accomplish most of these
sent from my Atrix via XDA premium
Another rather specific feature I'd like to have is to deactivate the dock.
Sounds strange?
Well I'd like to deactivate the dock in order to use it only as the perfect stand for Prime. Together with those charging policies that could be kinda useful
Some of these I might be able to do for ya even though the bootloader is still locked, we can still mod this thing.

this may sound crazy but when I use Elixir2 to check out specs and details of the Prime, it tells me USB Mass Storage is already enabled on it. its a free app.
Oh and something really important: The ability to automatically switch between keyboards when you dock/undock the dock.
I need to use the ASUS software keyboard because of my german dock layout, but I don't want to use ASUS' keyboard when undocked....
one main thing would be re-enabling that developer overclocking mode to allow 1.5 or 1.6ghz overclock. Or even higher. Also since Tegra3 supports 3d display and sound, maybe making a virtual tab to enable it or turn it off and on when you want. Maybe add even more USB host capabilities/drivers. Once windows 8 comes out later this year on tegra3 chipset port it over to the Prime. Dual boot capabilities.
Sounds wonderful viperboy

Thats because the Prime is MTP. Essentially when you plug it in, you see the drives right away on your computer. It is different than phones.

First in my list is that dev mode overclock (described here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1431886). That would be amazing.
Allowing the microsd inerted message to be dismissed after its displayed would also be nice, as I usually leave my card in.

the link to it is right underneath your post. it was seen that that developers Prime had a mode called developer mode that enabled either 1.5 or 1.6Ghz. The OP of that article went to sine release party n saw it. he posted pix up of it also. The developer there said Tegra3 could easily be overclocked higher than 1 4Ghz. so it can even go higher than the dev. overclock.

Easily doable, just need kernel support
That may be not configurable
Doable
Never put SD in, so ill check on that hahaha, but any notification is ususal removable
Most likely no-go unless we create a custom app to remove the original lockscreen setting (which only allows one at a time). but it is doable
in the works
I wish I could use light sensor to turn on or off screen
Get rid of the sd card mount icon. It's so easy to hit accidentally.
Any chance of adding a Tun.ko module in the ROMs? I'd really want to use OpenVPN for securing my WiFi connections.
Yeah that pesky icon is so annoying same with the icon when docked!

[Q] Complete Noob To Android and Galaxy - Been Using LG Chocolate

Hey guys! I recently purchased my galaxy from Telus and I must say it's a lovely device. Just a few cons for me is that it's a bit big and the volume rocker button is pretty loose. Other than that everything is just perfect
I just have a few questions if people could take their spare time to help out
1) How do you disable data usage? I tried pulling down the notification bar but there is no data off/on switch, only wifi.
2) If say I have data and wifi simultaneity on, what will exactly happen? Will wifi take over and automatically shut off the data?
3) Is there a way to automatically stop the use of data by having a restriction set up so for example once I hit 980mb, I won't be able to use the data unless I override and make it possible to continue using it. (Is watchdog a perfect app for this?)
4) The wifi/data icon on the status bar, what does the orange arrow going down mean and the other arrow facing up? The arrow facing downwards for my wifi keeps blinking orange/hang and goes back to grey. (Does it mean there something downloading in the background?)
5) What are some ways to improve the battery life of the phone?
6) Is there a way to remove "ME" on the contact list?
7) When I charge the phone through my laptop, it doesn't heat up but through the wall, the charging brick is rather hot. Is this safe?
8) To open the back cover, do you just put your nail/finger tip through the back hole and just use brute force to rip it off or is there something else? I feel like I'm gonna break the cover or the little edge/dimples on the sides of the cover where it fits into the back :l
9) Is there any way to change the brightness through maybe the status bar (moving fingers from right to left increases brightness and vise versa for left to right?) or maybe through notification bar?
10) Also should I have the sync icon on at all times in the notification bar?
11) Also is samsung kies needed? Whats the benefit of having it?
12) Is Samsung Kies needed?
13) I really appreciate the help guys, and last not but least, what are some useful/"needed/essential" apps to help or make life easier for the phone?
This is my first smartphone as I've been using my old lg chocolate for some time now and it just incredible how diverse the android os is but at the same time confusing and stressful to add what and such. I have so many things I want to do with the phone atm but stressful to figure out what to do in order lol.
I'm planning on rooting the phone after I save the contacts to my google.
Thanks everyone!
A quick note, I would take your phone back to the store and get it replaced, your volume rocker should not be lose. I took mine back for the same reason and my new one is fine.
Sorry I didn't answer anything else but I can't see your post on the app, I will later on my laptop.

1. Go to Settings > Data Usage > Mobile Data switch should be at the top
2. Wifi takes priority as long as you are within range and connected to a wifi network. If you leave wifi on but there are no networks it will just default to Mobile Data.
3. Again under Settings > Data Usage > Check the "Set mobile data limit" box
4.Yeah when you are downloading or uploading packets of data the corresponding arrows lightup
5. Turn down brightness, data, gps, bluetooth when not in use
6. You can press and hold contact names to bring up a menu and delete that contact. I'm not sure whether it works on yourself I haven't tried it.
7. Should be fine
8. Yeah just pull back gently the cover shouldn't break
9. Custom roms may implement brightness toggles in the notification bar. search around there are probably apps/widgets that can do the same thing as well.
10. Only if you want to sync data. For example if its off but you keep mobile data on, widgets such as weather and facebook won't update until you do it manually, but you can still use the internet normally. This will save some battery life.
11. Are you on a Mac or PC? On a PC you probably don't need it. On a Mac by default your computer won't detect it so using Kies is probably the easiest way to transfer files.
12. See above.
13. If you plan on rooting your phone there are a lot of useful apps such as titanium backup, wifi tether, etc. You can do a lot of customization of the homescreen if you don't like the way it looks check out other "launchers" on the google play store such as Apex launcher or Go launcher. Also there are ton of different keyboard replacements if you don't like the stock keyboard. Popular ones inclue swiftkey and swype. Just go explore
Oh and don't forget the XDA App (Duh)

Thank you so much i'll have to check out the custom roms or the widgets for brightness and I'm not sure if the loose volume button is bad enough that later on it'll popout or something. One thing I notice about it is that if i lay my thumb on it, i can move it from side to side (towards the face and down) and because the button isn't separated into a + -, there seems to be a click sound even though i click the middle of the button. Last note is if I gently tap the volume button you'll hear a light click sound cause it's loose. I just want to make sure if anyone else has this problem or is theres really stiff? The power button and homebutton stay in place but the volume just feels weird , not to mention if you shake the phone you can hear that something is loose (the volume button)
EDIT: I forgot to add two other questions that someone could clarify:
1) I've read other threads about this too but I seem to be only getting one bar of wifi, and it's pretty slow for some reason. But when I go on 4g/lte it's amazingly fast - only problem is I won't be using the data network much. Any fix to this wifi issue? I've done the *#0011# and doesn't help at all.
2) Every time I enter the gallery it seems to detect all my pc connected to my wifi. Any to way to stop this? Because I use to be able to delete photos but now I can' because a computer icon replaced the delete button. Same goes for the music player, on the top left cornor theres a computer icon and if you click on it, it'll show change player

1. Depends how far you are from the router and how many walls are in your way. It could also be from interference from a neighbor's router. I would recommend downloading the app Wifi Analyzer. It will tell you which channel your router is on vs. all the other routers around you, and it will tell you the best channel to use (look for the screen with the star ratings) for your router.
2. I haven't used the gallery much, and I use Google Music instead of the stock player. I'll look into the gallery thing, though. Update: OK. So, when you press the Menu button on the main Gallery page, one of the options is to scan for nearby devices. You probably selected it to see what it did, and this is probably why it's showing all the other devices in your house. Wierd thing is, there is no way to disable it. The Gallery app doesn't seem to have a settings menu. What you can try is pressing menu, then View By, then selecting "Content in device". That should show only the things on the phone.
Also, if my volume buttons were making a rattling noise when I shook the phone, I would take the phone back for a replacement, especially if it bothered me. My volume buttons are solid.

1. Depends how far you are from the router and how many walls are in your way. It could also be from interference from a neighbor's router. I would recommend downloading the app Wifi Analyzer. It will tell you which channel your router is on vs. all the other routers around you, and it will tell you the best channel to use (look for the screen with the star ratings) for your router.

Thanks for the help! I wen't back to exchange my phone but it seems all the other phones for display and the ones i exchanged had the same shaky/loose volume. Guess i'll just have to stick with it.

How do you change the camera storage location on 4.2.2??

I just lost 140-ish pictures while switching ROMs because apparently the camera in 4.2.2 saves to internal memory instead of to the SD card. Is there a way to change the storage location so this crap doesn't happen again?

When you have the camera app open, there will be a little icon in the top left showing a picture of the sd card to let you know you have it selected. To select to save to the sd card click the options (looks like audio sliders), and scroll down to bottom and you will see storage. Select memory card. :good:
Sucks you lost your pics though. I've done this before too. On the plus side, you will only make this mistake once.

Yeah, I took my son to an aquarium and took pictures of him and all kinds of animals, including videos. The day before switching roms, I thought "maybe I should back up these pictures" but I didn't.
But I don't see what you're talking about. If I press and hold anywhere on the screen, a few options come up, and one of them is the settings/audio sliders thing, but selecting that has no storage option. I can't even scroll. There's just "scene mode, store location, and picture size."

Maybe Store Location is it? I havent messed with AOSP or the camera in quite a while but the Store Location sounds like it might be it.
How did you lose the pictures?

It really depends on what camera the ROM you are on has incorporated into it. I'm on liquid ROM and if you click the little circle in the bottom right while holding it in portrait and click the settings button it will bring up the camera settings. It may have a storage location option and it may not. I have noticed that paranoid doesn't have that option. It's very unfortunate that you lost all your pictures tho :/ I tend to move my pictures to my SD every time I switch roms when if I'm not wiping data. Hopefully you can find that option otherwise you may want to try another camera app that will allow you to change save location. Good luck!

Something I just thought of that the OP could try is one of the 4.2 camera mods that is floating around in the Themes and Apps section. One of those may be modded to allow a different storage location.

Its store location man...a while back when i was switchen roms most aosp could only be on device..liquid and pac what im on now store locarion had device and card...one of the reasons i havnt flashed in a while lol my wallet has been worken good and i can store to memory card my pics
while in the camera app, if you press the menu button, a pop up menu should appear and if you scroll to the very bottom, there is a storage location. gives you the options for phone or sd card if you have one. by default they should be saved to the sd card. however, if you eject the sd card and then take a picture while the sd card is not in the phone, the camera will switch it to store it on the phone. it will also do this if the sd card is full.
a way to tell if the photos are stored on the phone or the sd card is to look at the folders of photos. if the folder has an sd card symbol in the bottom left corner, it is on the sd card (a simpler way is to eject the sd card and see if the photos are still in the gallery )
if you find that a folder is not on the sd card, you can simply move it to the sd card. The stock gallery app will allow you to move it but its not extremely obvious at first. if you tap on the folder that is not stored on the sd card and allow the pictures to load to the right, load press on any photo in that folder. you can now select them all by tapping the "1 selected" drop down menu on the top left and tap on "Select all". Next you will press the menu button which will show the option "Move". Choose the folder you would like it to go to on the sd card and you r done.
hope this helped.
Can anyone tell me how can I set a desired folder to save my camera clicks???
what if there is no storage button in the camera app
Ok , for those that were searching the internet for another option because there is NO button in the camera app , you can just go to Settings -> Storage -> and select Default Write Disk w/e u want
