Samsung SGH-959 Vibrant - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a Samsung Vibrant, Model SGH-959. Android version 4.1.1. Kernel version 3.0.31-g4b48cac. The problem is the phone sees the internal memory as the SD card. It sees the SD card as USB storage. I need help! What's the fix??

Let the flaming begin !!!!!! Who's up first

Oh I'll start since I haven't been here in awhile...
What the H E double hockey sticks? Asking a question in the dev section. You info says a senior memeber. Senior member of what, society and your dementia is kicking in and you forgot simple rules? Come on for the love of all that is holy use the search as well as post in correct section.
Model is SGH-"T"959. Search is your friend and you will find that there have been instances of the SD card getting swapped in the CM builds which you appear to be running an Alpha of JB. Search the thread that you got the rom from and ask there.
How was that @Dougfresh?
Mods please move or close.

There's a simple fix for that.
Go into recovery
Go to advanced menu
scroll down into fix permissions
slam phone against the wall
everything should be working perfectly after that. let me know if you need more help!

YIke's...

A senior member?!?!
What the....I don't even....how...

The fix is... Odin back to stock and flash a rom that's not in it's Alpha stages.

Update your phone through kies , that worked for me

Now we just want to poke him with a stick, not beat him with a 10' cattle prod.
OP don't update using Kies, you'll hardbrick your device and then you next thread will be, "My phone won't boot" or "Halp!! I don't see anythign when I press power".

omg this thread is hilarious LOL

Theres no need to be hostile to a newbie.
I was kidding about it being broken. Its good advice though. I really don't feel like I was being hostile. Smartass definitely.

Back up everything you have.. install ROM manager and clockwork recovery.. now start dowloading diffrent ROM and install the one you like best.. but before doing all this.. do some research and read a lot..

I wasn't trying to be a smartass, I simply meant giving a newbie false information could cause him/her to panic and result in a million "HELP! Bricked! threads, and yes it is good advice to not screw with things you do not understand.
Point taken. I would like the op to be updated I am willing to bet its an ext2 lagfix. In which case there's no problem except that an ext2 fix is being used. But I agree hard to tell from the info given.
Btw I was not calling you a smartass. I was referring to myself.

Because you require the driver files to let it be used as a mass storage, it's been mentioned before, I would suggest not using a company laptop that has it's user privileges restricted. A little searching and reading will come a long way
I understood you and thanks a lot but How can I install this drivers? Should I install it to my tab or my pc?

You need to enable MTP mode on the tablet for it to detect the tablet.
Settings-Storage-Top right corner will be 3 dots, Tap it and enable MTP mode.
I've a problem.. There isn't a choice is called 'Storage' on my tab

I just PM'd you but found my way back here...
In settings under storage I can only view what is using what and how much of what is being used. No other options are available from there.
Edit: missed the second question again... yes just got it the 29th I think, it is only $0.99 in the market right now 50% off. Seems to work great with only a couple settings programming errors like setting for starting in favorites starts me in latest but setting to start in PMs starts me in favorites (subscribed threads), I used XDA Premium but got a refund when 90% of links I tried failed and other things. Went to using tapatalk full version I got free from getjar, but it expired one morning and when searching why I found hd. Was happy to send .99 to xda. so far no problems with links or anything else. I did have to get used to the layout being different again, but it was worth it. Kinda ICS like I think in where to find things. Also free upgrade when ICS its officially released. can't beat that for.99 oh yeah a few other things if like, such as page numbers and easier access to post smiles, but still cool.
Sorry of topic....
Get back to installing drivers in your toaste.....uh PC.

Not that I'm knowledgeable about myself. I only own a wireless only tab and don't really know for sure what carrier lock means for certain. I would think that it means the company that provides the phone access to your tab, such as verizon, sprint, at&t, or whoever else it could be has locked your device. If you know who the carrier is someone might know how to unlock it, but sometimes they just cannot be unlocked at all. At least from the little I've read, thats my thinking.

But I don't understand how can they lock the download mode to not flash (import) anything into tab.
Sorry but they can. Even if you don't understand.

it's a god answer. Thank you..
Sorry for the short one liners Mod's don't like when the talk deviates and thread "ends up being a longer than it should be"
However that doesn't apply in the bedroom, If you know what I mean
ANYWAYS! yeh carrier locked tablets are those done by major telecom companies to avoid any other carrier being used on the tablet. Like a Verizon's tablet will only accept Verizon's SIM's (Sorry I'm not from UK/US to know that). Most lock it so that if ever you do break their wonderful "terms and conditions" and they revoke the tablet (<a year) from you, it's to ensure that it doesn't void the warranty of the tablet. Since rooting voids it.

Has anyone got s-voice to work?

I have been messing with this for hours. Just want to know if I'm wasting my time.

I installed the APK that was available and it works fine. Though I guess works fine is relative as it works as best as the application works. If you are having issues maybe try to reinstall it again:

thought samsung shut off the connection to the servers until the s3 was released.
could be wrong w/ some outdated info though
I'm officially done with s-voice....for now....

Nothing to lose sleep over. It is nothing exciting and even if you got installed likely would not use it. Does not really compare to Siri and apps on the android market likely work better
I manually changed my build prop and got a bootloop -___-
It's working for me now. I installed the version with the build.prop edit and it's working great.

Update: I took a breather and reevaluated. I FINALLY got it. Just going to go over steps
1. From xda news, s- voice the xda way I got the download
2. In Root exp /sdcard/download-voice.talk.apk -move it to /data/app
3.fix permissions rw-r--r--
*Do not install
4. Reboot (app installs on reboot)
Enjoy!
I haven't had a chance to really use it, just tested a few things. I will update later.

[HUMOUR] You know you're rooted when...

I saw this thread in one of the forums and could relate to most of them.. so just post and complete this sentence "You know you're rooted when.."..
had a hearty laugh at some ones.. so thought I should share em with you guys..
Examples:
wscott9903: You know you're rooted when 1/2 of your apps require superuser permission.
feralicious: You know you're rooted when your spouse tells you they're leaving you and taking the kids and you think "perfect timing, (insert dev name here) just released a new ICS ROM".
jayochs: you know you're rooted when your phones buggy as hell lol
putney1477: You know you're rooted when, you husband, wife, significant other gets a new phone and says, don't you dare come near this phone, it works fine!
jackpot08: You know your rooted when when spend more time flashing roms than using your phone..
Add more if you have some good ones. .
Hit the thanks button if you all like it..

You know you're rooted when someone asks you to take a picture, and laugh because the camera isn't working in this nightly.
You know your rooted when your favorite dev hasn't released an update recently and your having flash withdrawl symptoms.
