Can't access internal storage from a computer after installing Marshmallow on Android device?

Recently I have update my OnePlus One phone to latest version of Android 6.0 (Marshmallow)

After I have updated to latest version I can’t access internal storage how I used to access before. Due to security options in 6.0 there are few options that were changed to enable access.

Here's how I could able to fix it.

  1. Open Settings
  2. Enable Developer options:
    1. Go to About phone (or tablet)
    2. Scroll to the bottom
    3. Tap Build number repeatedly. After several taps you will see it count down and then say "You are now a developer!"
  3. Back to Settings
  4. Tap Developer options, near the bottom
  5. Scroll down to and tap Select USB Configuration
  6. Change it to Charging only
  7. Tap Select USB Configuration again
  8. Change it back to MTP (Media Transfer Protocol)

That's it. You should now be able to open up the internal storage on the device from your computer.

Hope this helps!!

Compatibility mode in IE–Developer

Enable Compatibility mode in IE through code in .NET or Web.config or HTML meta tag.

We can achieve this by setting the value of the compatibility mode.

Web page can specify compatibility mode either by using META tag or by setting the HTTP header, note thatMETA tag will take precedence over http header when both are present.

Sol 1: META Tag- place the following code in head element of web page (HTML page).

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8, IE=9"/> 

Sol 2: HTTP Header- We can configure our server to send a HTTP Header along with each page i.e., send X-UA-Compatibility: IE=8 HTTP header 

Add the following code snippet in web.config file:

<system.webServer>
    <httpProtocol>
        <customHeaders>
            <clear/>
            <add name="X-UA-Compatible" value="IE=9"/>
        </customHeaders>
    </httpProtocol>
<system.webServer>

Here are other options:

  • "IE=edge"
  • "IE=11"
  • "IE=EmulateIE11"
  • "IE=10"
  • "IE=EmulateIE10"
  • "IE=9"
  • "IE=EmulateIE9
  • "IE=8"
  • "IE=EmulateIE8"
  • "IE=7"
  • "IE=EmulateIE7"
  • "IE=5

Here is how you can get list of all foreign key references using below query for all tables in your database

SELECT obj.name AS FK_NAME,
sch.name AS [schema_name],
tab1.name AS [table],
col1.name AS [column],
tab2.name AS [referenced_table],
col2.name AS [referenced_column]
FROM sys.foreign_key_columns fkc
INNER JOIN sys.objects obj
ON obj.object_id = fkc.constraint_object_id
INNER JOIN sys.tables tab1
ON tab1.object_id = fkc.parent_object_id
INNER JOIN sys.schemas sch
ON tab1.schema_id = sch.schema_id
INNER JOIN sys.columns col1
ON col1.column_id = parent_column_id

AND col1.object_id = tab1.object_id
INNER JOIN sys.tables tab2
ON tab2.object_id = fkc.referenced_object_id
INNER JOIN sys.columns col2
ON col2.column_id = referenced_column_id

AND col2.object_id = tab2.object_id
