Device or SD encryption? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

One option I've seen on other Android devices is device or SD card encryption. Am I missing this in settings or is it not available on the AT&T Note?

Can a USB flash card be used as an external on the EVO3d?

I was wondering if I could take a flash card that I have, hook it up to my 3d, and simply transfer the files on the card, to my device?
Nope.

There are adapters that do this for the Motorola Xoom but I don't know if its compatible for our phones.

Say no to MTP

Can anyone tell me how to stop MTP and make the transfer protocol the same UMS?
I saw an app that works for the international version but not for sprint...

I was wondering this also. I can't connect my phone to the ps3 anymore!!!

I actually like MTP now...
Aside from the initial frustration of restoring my titanium backup from my S2 MTP is a much more efficent interface.
All 32 GBs of my phones memory is now app memory whereas on my s2 I only had 2 GBs out of the 16 and the rest was considered a "sd card"
Still an option to switch between the two occasionally would be nice..
They should at least allow u to use your external storage sd card with UMS

Google made a deliberate decision to ONLY support MTP mode starting with Honeycomb.

SD card mounting issues.

My SD card will not read with multiple cards.
Under storage it says insert SD card.
Is this a known issue or is it more likely my SD tray?

I haven't heard of this being a known issue, though that doesn't mean someone else hasn't had the same ting happen. I'll assume you've done a reboot to see if it is a software issue, or even a factory reset. If that doesn't fix it, I'd say it is a hardware fault.

Encrypted SD Card debacle

Hey all, was wondering if there is a known way around this, probably not tho. I have my work email setup on my phone, it is an Exchange account and requires me to set a PIN or password plus encrypt my SD card. This is all fine and dandy except TWRP can't make Nand backups because it doesn't seem to have access to the encrypted card. Is the some way I can give it permissions to access the card from recovery?

Could you just make backups to your internal memory and then later transfer them to your sd card?

No, it will not backup to internal

Why won't it backup to internal?
In twrp, I went to mount and mounted internal, unmounted external sd card, and told it to use internal memory and it backed up to the phone.

it backs up to internal if. you set it too.

I'll try it again but it was giving me some error when I tried to mount and backup internally.

Do you have enough internal space?

is your internal partition also encrypted?
I have more than enough internal space, and no only the ext_sd is encrypted

Get into communication with the developers of the recovery. If it was throwing you some error then let them know what it was and maybe they can help you out.

I would use a modified mail.apk(sense) or a stock aosp email.apk that has been modified to ignore the exchange security. Therefore you wont have a device administrator and it won't be encrypted in the first place. You can find these in the themes and apps section.

Thanks, I'll check that out. Annoying that it makes you change things to receive the email

Did you try an alternate "mail.apk" ? There are few floating around that doesn't enforce this policy. You'll need to wipe your card once more. But after that don't add an Exchange account UNTIL you've first replaced the Mail app, and you'll be set --- no more SD encrption or pass lock required. You'll have to copy the app after every ROM flash unless the ROM includes this app.

Or check here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1679853 (shameless self promotion of a thread I made haha). I made a mail.apk with mikeyxda's mods (roaming sync and html format) and security removed.
I couldn't tell you for sure if the security removal mod that I used (the same method from the link in the post above) would bypass the encrypted sd card requirement, though.

[Q] Single Internal Partition?

Out of curiosity...
So, I came from a Galaxy Nexus to the Evo LTE. On my GNex, it had one 32GB slab of storage, and it all mounted as one device (MTP Style). The Evo obviously does not (USB Mass Storage Style). Is there a way to break this down so that it behaves similar to the Nexus?
Win7 will recognize internal as mtp, is my understanding. Add on tools are necessary to mount ext SD. Hope that helps at all.
