The specs say it supports 16gb and 32gb cards. I wonder if that means smaller cards than 16gb aren't recognized.
[Acer Iconia A500] 00mred00:
hrmm..I have put a few 8gb cards in and they were not recognized...put in a 16gb and had the same issue.

it's also bugging the crap out of me that people are reporting that you can not access the card via pc connection...you have to remove it and put it in a card reader...which seems really silly.

Additionally, power the tablet off before inserting the card (not just sleep, power all the way off.)

I'm using a SanDisk 8GB SHDC card from CostCo, no issues once I remembered to power the tablet all the way off before inserting the card.
[Acer Iconia A500] Koturno:
Thanks Vereynn. Confirming that in order for the SDHC to be read, you need to power off the unit, insert the card, and then power it on again. If you insert the card when the unit is on, it will not recognize it. Quite an inconvenience.
[Acer Iconia A500] Vereynn:
Wonder if there's a way to script a forced remount of the card to let you pop it out and back in again?
[Acer Iconia A500] cybermage1:
I found I didn't have to turn the device off. I was having other problems with the card, so I ejected it (with the A500 on), formatted it from my desktop, copied my music collection over and popped it back in.

It rescanned the card very quickly.
[Acer Iconia A500] ShinjoSan:
For me, I installed it and then powered off the device and on boot it found it with no issues. 16GB RiData card
[Acer Iconia A500] netham45:
I had to format my card before using it, but I can't recall what it was formatted to before.

8GB Sandisk
[Acer Iconia A500] VillainousVivi:
I haven't been able to get my A500 to see my 8GB card, yet my nook and PC see it just fine.

If it doesn't get seen, it wouldn't be the first time I've had an SD(HC) card not work in a device. There are just some cards that aren't seen by some devices, and there's not a lot you can do about it except try a different card.

I would make sure the card is of the faster varieties (Class 6 or higher if you can swing it). Most of the class 2 cards I have don't work, but all my Class 6's have.

In the SGS task manager the RAM (after everything has been cleared states 291MB/833MB why is this please?

Thanks :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whpgab:
Answer is simple, total ram is 1024 Mb but the gpu required 129 mb. So the rest remains for programs. 291 is used by android system.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sammy555:
thats 542 mb free. my galaxy s when cleared shows 154/304 so only 150 free. Well over 3 times the amount is very impressive.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sharkonland:
I hope that dosent mean theres just 290 free ram, but it might be the case. my DHD has 768mb ram and im usually around 200mb free all the time, sometimes even like 115mb when i use a few apps. android has some serious ram eating issues.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Menthix:
It seems to indicate theamount of *used* RAM.

On my GII...

Samsung's Task Manager: 233MB/833MB

TasKiller: 596 M Available memory
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PartyMango:
The operating system is supposed to fill up the RAM as much as possible, Android is trying to utilize the resources at their best. "Free" RAM doesn't mean a thing, it is better used as a cache. Parts of that cache will be dropped as soon as an application needs more RAM. Windows uses RAM in a similar fashion.

You shouldn't run any "RAM freeing"-programs as they are counterproductive - typical snake-oil software.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Menthix:
I'm all for putting my RAM to good use, the reason why I use a TaskKiller is to exit apps which after a day of use continue to run even though I'm not using them / apps I forgot to exit.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sharkonland:
Of course, but it just amazes me how much ram is needed by android. I say this because, on every android phone ive had to date, once the ram goes below 150mb, things start to really get choppy, i dont know why. I assumed by that point, every app i would use is already in the ram so it should actually make things faster, but normal things like opening apps and scrolling through menus start getting very choppy, even in apps things are choppy which lets mek now ram is low. Thats when i realize i need to do a quick reboot.

In that sense, i really have a lot of respect for apple, they do some crazy ram optimizations. I know they dont have things like widgets or whatever, but everything runs like butter, also you have to admit the iphone4 has a very high res screen and the apps are much more visually taxing but they are damn fast. But with 1gb of ram, I doubt we will be running into these issues:D:D.. I wonder if the SGS3 will have 2gb ram..hehe
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RyanZA:
The ram issues on Android are because of how it's designed.

iOS each app has it's slice of RAM that is managed completely by the app itself. When the app exits, the OS doesn't check anything, it just flushes the whole piece of RAM, which is very quick. When 'multitasking' and the phone runs low on RAM, it can quickly flush the ram on any 'background' app without having to do any checks.. very fast operation.

Android has a far more complicated structure, with the Android system managing the RAM within each app. Each app is broken into separate blocks (activity, service, etc) and while the whole app can be flushed (with a force close), Android doesn't do this. When Android is low on RAM, it follows a set order on what to close first, such as unused activities. This takes quite a lot of calculating and slows stuff down.

All those complications are 'fixed' with the SGS2 though. Dual core means the calculations don't bother your running task. High ram means the calculations don't happen often. Works very nicely. :D

[HTC Desire S] dam2sekc:
hi noob here and just wanted to throw this out there.

I haven't got s-Off yet, but looking forward to installing custom roms when I can. I have a few things That can be improved as htc have missed them. So hopefully those guys into making changes come across this and make the changes.

Music widget: Doesn't update album art with currently playing song until you stop on the widget and allow it to update, can this be made instantaneous ? Also, multiple album art within album list is a bit much, I think a standard list with track time would b much better.

Message tone: cannot be changed without a third party app, also when on a call of the tone is longer than 1-2

seconds it will play in your ear for the full duration with no way to stop it, and you cannot hear the caller either. When there are headphone's attached, notification tones play through the loudspeaker, when all sound should be diverted to headphones.

Bluetooth: I use wireless headphones, I'm having quality issues when I move away from the handset, it seems htc have crippled the wireless features when it comes to this version of software. Also is there anyway to get the sound enhancer to work with bluetooth headphones?

Files: Cannot access sd card from the phone to see all files, have to connect to pc.

Call history: All calls incoming, received and missed show up multiple times for same contact. Then you also have the history button to the right of the contact which then shows all details incoming, outgoing, missed, time stamps, date. Can this be changed to just one icon per caller/contact. (hope this one made sense, was a bit hard to explain with out being confusing)

Well this is all that I have noticed so far and hope that it wont be too much trouble to change, would love to see the phone as its supposed to be, even if htc seem to have no idea right now, I would seriously love to slap there design team. especially for the WiFi issues they are really bad with my device, so pissed after getting rid of the motorola milestone 2 which was an epic fail, and now htc also has bugs!

Has anyone else noticed anything that could be changed for the better??? Add it here and lets see if the developers can change it all to have an awesome handset!

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] RyanZA:
SGS2 has changed a lot from SGS1 with filesystems, since there is no RFS anymore. The PIT file looks pretty different now too.

GANG : emmc.img
BOOT : boot.bin
EFS : efs.img
SBL1 : Sbl.bin
SBL2 : bl.bin (?)
PARAM : param.lfs
KERNEL : zImage
RECOVERY : (blank, unlike SGS1 which was a copy of zImage)
CACHE : cache.img
MODEM : modem.bin
FACTORYFS : factoryfs.img
DATAFS : data.img
HIDDEN : hidden.img

Preliminary notes:

Recovery is blank instead of zImage. Not sure what this could mean - it's possible that this is now unflashable? It's also possible that this is no longer used, and the kernel is used directly.

Something called GANG is at the top of the file. No idea what this is. Stuff at the top is usually lower level. It does have the image file name emmc though, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MultiMediaCard#eMMC

Sounds interesting, anyway.

FactoryFS and Data are now seperate, when in the SGS1 they were the same thing. (SGS1 copied over /data from inside factoryfs when it was not found - this means that factory reset might work differently here.)

hidden.img is part of the CSC, not sure what this could be, or even why it's here. Will have to look inside the img file to find out, I guess. CSC is usually just extra files placed in /system

SBL2 is bl.bin instead of Sbl.bin - typo by Samsung?

Since this is all EXT4 now, we might actually be able to re-size things properly now, as in the SGS1 with it's RFS stuff the /system partition couldn't actually be resized.

EDIT: Adding some reference stuff from the device.

All partitions appear to be directly off mmcblk0 - there are 12 of them. Output follows:

brw------- root root 179, 12 2011-05-08 10:35 mmcblk0p12

[Galaxy S II General] En_croute:
OK, last week I agreed a package with T-Mobile - Flext 35 with 3gb of data for £35pm and £310 upgrade discount.

Currently use 1.5gb pm on HD2 (WMob 6.5 Stock Rom) - Mainly due to streaming radio and poor HTC RSS reader that seems to delete and reload entire podcast if there is a tiny delay during download.

Was trying to use Chitter Chatter (Over the phone) - Phones in stock, will provide the phone for free - Yeah!

CC have them in stock, can't release them as TMob have not "finished testing"

I explain the SIM free and O2 unlocked phones are on TMob network, what's the issue. CC:" TMob won't let us sell them"

I call TMob: "Not our issue, CC have not registered the IMEI no's on the system, it's a CC stock issue.

Back to CC: No, it's definitely TMob.

Escalate to TMob "management" - silence

Same routine on Friday, with both sides saying the same thing - contradicting each other but CC said they expect SGS2 to be launched on Wednesday by them, June for TMob Sales/Upgrades

Saturday I went to CPWarehouse - Yes we can upgrade - but no stock

Opposite is PhoneHouse - Yes we have 2 in stock - unconfirmed upgrade price £309 - but we can't sell them as TMob won't allow us to release them"

I call TMob: "2 suppliers say exactly the same thing, but you allow CPW to sell these - what's the deal?"

TMob: "No idea, but we would not block retailers from selling"

Escalate to "manager" - who does call back!!!

TMob Mgr: "No idea, main man is away until Wednesday - will find out then."

Humm, 2 x Wednesday deadlines - it seems TMob are not being very honest with retailer/customers/Loyalty team, and the customer, once again, is left to do all the running around.

Shame, after 19 years, I thought I'd seen all of their rubbish antics - but this is very poor.

I'm on an old Flext 35 contract with 3Gb, been on it for a while and I'm out of contract

by 6 or 8 months.

When I called them recently about getting the SGS2 when it is released in June, I asked

them if I could keep the same contract and renew for 18 months, they said NO.

It would be one of the new contracts with the 500Mb of data.

I'm interested how you negotiated the contract with 3Gb.

Also what do you mean by £310 upgrade discount?

Thanks

[Galaxy S II General] En_croute:
I've been with TMob for 19 years (Well, between me and my wife, I had to move to O2 for work a long time ago for a while).

I explained I needed the data and was looking to leave as 500mb (and more is not able to be bought) it simply wasn't enough, and I was going to Three (unlimited) or Orange (Up to 1.25gb with boosters), and they came up with the Flext35.

As there's no TMob/BTOpenzone wireless at either of my offices - it was a no brainer.

TMob have a rate they pay for your handset - the Max is £310, had I gone to CPW (Sim price £399), I'd have had to pay £89 for the handset there.

As I've upgraded with CPW 4 or 5 times, and my wife too, that might have come down ;)

PhoneHouse had an upgrade price for the S1 of £309, and expected the S2 to be the same.
