[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
Hmm, the external SD card is referred to twice in /system/etc/vold.fstab. Can you try this:

Edit /system/etc/vold.fstab and comment out the last line in it. It looks like this:

dev_mount sdcard2 /mnt/sdcard/sdcard-ext auto /devices/platform/tegra-sdhci.2/mmc_host/mmc1

Just add a '#' character at the beginning of the line, like so:

# dev_mount sdcard2 /mnt/sdcard/sdcard-ext auto /devices/platform/tegra-sdhci.2/mmc_host/mmc1

You can edit it on your PC; then put it back on the tablet and reboot. After the reboot, go through the SD card test commands we did earlier.

To edit the vold.fstab file, you'll have to remount the /system partition read-write. If you know how to use adb, try these commands:

adb pull /system/etc/vold.fstab vold.fstab

[I]Edit the vold.fstab[/I]

adb remount
adb push vold.fstab /system/etc/vold.fstab

Also, after you've run the SD card test commands, run the "dmesg" and "logcat -d" as before and attach their outputs.

Another thing to try: Remove the external SD card (after you've changed vold.fstab) and see if file and directories persist on the internal SD card.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sandyjb:
Ok, after editing vold.fstab, loading microSD back in and rebooting, I ran the test commands.

$ export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH
$su
#mkdir /data/tmp.dir
# ls -ld /data/tmp.dir
drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 1024 May 9 23:48 /data/tmp.dir
# echo test > /data/tmp.dir/file.txt
# ls -l /data/tmp.dir/file.txt
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 5 May 9 23:49 /data/tmp.dir/file.txt
# cat /data/tmp.dir/file.txt
test
#

After another reboot and running of the same test command

# cat /data/tmp.dir/file.txt
/data/tmp.dir/file.txt: No such file or directory

Then I ran the the "dmesg" and "logcat -d" as before

Here are the outputs again.

Thanks again....your time in looking at this is much appreciated!

PS - I didn't understand the last line. Internal directories exist on the main drive (SDcard) when the microSD is taken out? I only started using the microSD very recently and the directory structure on the main drive remains intact irrespective.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
I see that you've placed the '#' on the line before the last line. This makes it a no-effect change. You have to comment out the last line--put the '#' at the start of that line. The last line should look like this:

# dev_mount sdcard2 /mnt/sdcard/sdcard-ext auto /devices/platform/tegra-sdhci.2/mmc_host/mmc1

No probs. Actually, I may have good news and bad news for you... but, we'll get to that after you've fixed the vold.fstab file, rebooted, and repeated the tests in post #8, plus these additional commands via adb:

adb shell lsmod > lsmod.txt
adb shell ps > ps.txt
adb shell find / -name aufs.ko > find-aufs.txt

If you look at that vold.fstab file you sent me, it has a line like this:

# todo: the secondary sdcard seems to confuse vold badly

After seeing that, I thought it would be best if you removed the external microSD card while you're running the tests. You can put it back in after we're done fixing this.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sandyjb:
Ok after making the change to the vold.fstab file, I ran the test again and I got the same error.

$ cat /mnt/sdcard/tmp.dir/file.txt

/mnt/sdcard/tmp.dir/file.txt: No such file or directory

I dont have ADB setup so I cant run those commands. I made the changes to the text file via notepad. Any other way for me to run those commands?

I took out the microsd card and then ran the dmesg and logcat commands. Somehow I feel like I am doing this wrong....

$su

# dmesg > /mnt/sdcard2/dmesg.txt

cannot create /mnt/sdcard2/dmesg.txt: read-only file system

# logcat -d > /mnt/sdcard2/logcat.txt

cannot create /mnt/sdcard2/logcat.txt: read-only file system

#

This error looks right though since there is no microsd card anymore.

Thanks for your patience!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sandyjb:
1. You are running VEGAn-TAB 7.0.0 RC1 (aka VEGAn-TAB Ginger Edition), correct? YES.

2. Do you have ClockworkMod installed? And if so, which version? Ideally it should print this when you're in it: ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.1-bekit-0.8. This seems to be the safest CWM for our gTablets according to the posts on the board. YES. Version 0.8.

3. You have tried the standard techniques to fix the SD card problem? Namely,

a) In CWM, formatted the internal SD card again (CWM > advanced > Partition Internal SD card). YES. Pretty much every trick there is on the forums, I have tried. Multiple times at that.

b) Ran Fix Permissions (CWM > advanced > Fix Permissions) YES

4. Do you have anything of value on the internal SD card (/mnt/sdcard), because we might have to blow it away completely soon (or, atleast try to ). So, back up the stuff from /mnt/sdcard to /mnt/sdcard2.

You can insert the external SD card (/mnt/sdcard2) back into the tablet and move, not copy, the stuff from /mnt/sdcard into /mnt/sdcard2. We're doing a test along with backing up your sdcard data. After you move your files and folders, check that they are no longer present in /mnt/sdcard. Then shutdown, remove the external SD card, reboot back into VEGAn 7.0.0-RC1 and again check if the stuff you moved has indeed disappeared from /mnt/sdcard. Nope, nothing I care about it on the SDcard. I have tried to manually format it using nvflash, accessing it via USB and just hitting delete on the PC. I even tried to do what you mentioned about, move the file over. It said it successfully did it and the file wasnt present when I checked, but open rebooting, as usual it went back in time.

But, before you do all this, send me the output I requested in post #14.

Here are the attachments from running it on the SD CARD. I will try and get ADB setup as well.

Also, no, I dont believe this is a refurb. I ordered it off Amazon and there it was specified as new.
[HTC Desire S] chrisr27:
This is so annoying with the DS or maybe its just me.

If I am writing an sms message the desire s xt9 will predict the word 'the' as 'vie' instead..yes I know its minor, and the 2nd xt9 prediction is 'the' but when anyone writes an sms they wld expect the 1st choice not to be the word 'vie'...and when Im writing sms' quickly and look at what Ive written, I have mispelt the several times due to the xt9 mis-predictor!

I have tried settings, editing personal dictionary but its not in there...how can I rectify this and delete vie from the dictionary please?
[HTC Desire S] Madrenergic:
That's strange. What are your locale settings?
[HTC Desire S] chrisr27:
Thanks for the quick response...my locale settings are English (United Kingdom).

When I write sms messages I like to use the phonepad as opposed to qwerty keyboard...and with xt9 on if i try and type 'the' then the first green highlighted word is 'vie' as default, then 'the', 'tie' and 'vid' as further options...so naturally if i try to type 'the' followed by a space then the default input is 'vie'...i cannot oversetimate how annoying this is ...it happens all vie time lol :)

many thanks

[Atrix 4G General] JVogler:
I went ahead and moved all my contacts, etc. over to start using as my phone. Here is a word of caution to all. I'm sure it won't be an issue with most users, or people familiar with Android already. I used MyPhoneExplorer to start syncing all my contacts from Outlook, and my Calendars from Thunderbird Lightning. I did it this way specifically to avoid storing these on an outside server. I was not careful enough...in the background over the last 10 hours, it took all my business client contacts and merged them into my gmail account...which sucks but fixable with some time. But along with this it took all my client accounts calendar info and put it online and public viewable...2 years back worth of private client info! I would have never noticed, but I just happened to come accross google dashboard, and thought it would be interesting to see what info google collects from their various programs. Bam...front and center, under calendar was my clients name, address, time of our last meeting..and everything discussed. Took me a while to figure out how delete all this.

Just a warning to double check all settings before using this for any work related storage that you don't want pasted for the world to see.
[Atrix 4G General] JVogler:
So, really stumped here. I've tried 4 3rd party calendar applications, all with the same result. Under Settings, Accounts, Google, I for sure have calendars unchecked. I've used 3 or 4 different syncing programs to transfer my Thunderbird calendar to Atrix. Everything works flawlessly...syncing between Thunderbird and device is especially nice using MyPhoneExplorer. I constantly check the settings tick box...and calendar always remain empty = NOT SYNC. Except my calendars always end up uploading to the internet and appearing in my gmail calendar. Ultimately, I need to use this for business...and this is unacceptable. Is there some other setting I'm missing. I realize Google wants to get their hands on your info at every chance...and yes I know there is a trade off to use their services for free. But I'm not seeing a way to even use a 3rd party calendar w/o it getting sucked up by Google. I have no idea what that tick box is for, if it is going to sync no matter what you tell it.

Anyone know of a solution, or workaround? Been at this for weeks now with no luck. Have a nice new phone, and still have to carry around my old Tilt with me everywhere I go. I'm actually using the Tilt more, since I can't seem to get this hardware superior phone to do what my dinosaur does flawlessly.

Hi

I loved Go launcher on my sgs 1 and yet when I tried it on the sgs 2 it has a slight bug, all fine bar the app draw button, it works about 90% of the time, now and then I have to double click it or even keep click it before it opens the app draw (nothing done to phone, no root no lcd changes) anyone got the same issue????

Cheers

[Thunderbolt General] aol8mydog:
I had a Droid Incredible before my Thunderbolt. My girl now has my Incredible and, when she has any problems with it, I really enjoy picking up that phone to help, fix, or change some things for her. I miss my Incredible. :(

Sure, the Thunderbolt's larger screen is nicer and easier to look at in many respects, but the Incredible fits nicely in my hands. I never use protective covers, cases, or films... and I never will. That's just how I roll. I was able to flip the Incredible around and maneuver it in my hand like Tom Cruise handles liqueur bottles in 'Cocktail.' Sorry for the cheesy movie analogy. I feel clumsy with the Thunderbolt and I find myself grasping it tighter out of fear of it jumping out of my hands.

The power button and volume rocker is on the opposite side which is tough to get accustomed to. I understand that's because of the kickstand and maybe it's more ergonomically correct for right handed people. I don't know if the old way caters to us left-handed, left-eared people better or not, but that's what I was used to.

I really miss the AMOLED screen of the Incredible. When it's sunny out, I find it just as difficult to see the Thunderbolt's display, so that's a non-issue for me. I just REALLY miss the contrast, pop, and vibrant colors of the AMOLED. AMOLED's refresh rate doesn't leave fading gray trails when scrolling fine black lines or text like LCDs do. If I didn't love HTC and Sense so much, I would opt for a Samsung, but I'm too stubborn and I have succumbed to brand loyalty.

I see hints of the performance gain in the MSM8655 of the Thunderbolt vs the QSD8650 in the Incredible, especially with the newer Adreno graphics... but I'm not impressed at all. Honestly, I can't stand how choppy some of the Sense graphics are; for example, text message and email scrolling, and the notoriously clunky app drawer for Sense hurt my eyes sometimes. I have the Warm Z TwoPointTwo ROM on the Incredible and it seems to perform better, especially in those respects, than the Thunderbolt. And that's with the stock HTC kernel on the Incredible. Of course, actual benchmarks would beg to differ.

The Thunderbolt has 4g... and that's why I won't trade with my girlfriend. So far, my best upload and download speeds have been 44Mb/s and 19Mb/s respectively. I even get better overall reception (including LTE) at home with the Thunderbolt than the Incredible or any other Verizon phone, which would often drop calls unless we stood next to a window when I'm at home. I also think, as time goes on, the ROMs will get better, smoother, faster, and more stable for the Thunderbolt. I'm having trouble finding just the right skin, theme, and ROM for the Thunderbolt. I've tried BAMF Remixed, Thunder, and now I'm on VirusROM. I just need to learn some patience. Maybe Warm Z TwoPointTwo will come to Thunderbolt. I love that ROM.

Until then, I'll just continue to find reasons to spend some quality time with my old pal, Incredible. I know I just need to quit cold-turkey... rip it off like a band-aid... but it's so difficult when I still share the same home with that phone.
[Thunderbolt General] adrynalyne:
No choppiness here.

None. Not overclocked either.
[Thunderbolt General] ddgarcia05:
I hate that the placement of the volume rocker. I feel the same way you do about your incredible as I did about my G2. I had the G2 for a month before I sold it. I miss the G2, but really do like the Thunderbolt.
[Thunderbolt General] azturbomini:
I do and have had for a while. Email scrolling, web surfing and XDA App. Doesn't matter what kernel whether it is normal, under volted etc... I also have short freezing while typing on both text and email. Two full wipes and no change. The freezing kinda reminds me of the way my Facinate acted on stock 2.1

I wish I knew why this is happening. : (

[Thunderbolt General] aol8mydog:
Are you talking about the gray fade on scrolling? It's barely noticeable. I'm a perfectionist. Because I liked my Incredible so much, I'm likely blowing any flaws out of proportion.

I was thinking about it... but since I was using up an upgrade discount, I wanted to make sure the phone was drastically different. Bigger screen and, of course, 4g. The Incredible 2 would have only been an upgrade in the chipset... and maybe a couple other things I don't really care about. As far as I know, it doesn't have AMOLED, either.

Don't get me wrong, though. I do love the Thunderbolt. I just wanted to rant about the little nuances after having the Incredible for a year.

The four capacitive back-lit buttons on the Thunderbolt are dimmer and have spotty hotspots compared to the Incredible, too. Just thought I'd throw that in there. ;)
[Thunderbolt General] iflip:
I got all those issues he mentioned. I believe that htc will release a fw upgrade to ease some of those issues. There's more issues on top of those too like not being able to talk when plugged into a stereo with audio Jack. Something that is possible on the dinc. Sometimes when exiting apps it takes me to app drawer instead of default home screen. And the most annoying work the stock sms app not giving me the option to send without saving as a draft first. Htc can't allow that to linger. Ill be damned if I'm the only one having those issues. But I'm still in love with the phone. The button orientation takes some getting used to but ill get over it. And the lag with the sense widgets are tolerable. I've weaned away from launcherpro for a while but with those issues, I'm thinking about reusing it again. Its way faster than sense. I'm sure there can bea home replacement app that can satisfy us more than launcherpro go launcher & adw. One that will replicate some of sense 2.0 or even 3.0 features. I've been convinced so after trying out Regina launcher.
[Thunderbolt General] gbmitchell:
My only complaint is the power button. I seem to have a hard time hitting it.
[Thunderbolt General] adrynalyne:
Well, there are other phones out there ;)

Me:

No lag.

No performance hitches.

No battery issues.

No oversaturated all to hell amoled screen.
[Thunderbolt General] aol8mydog:
Battery is definitely better in the Thunderbolt. I use my old TP2 battery (1500mA) in the Incredible and battery life is tolerable. The AMOLED screen could be to blame for some battery issues.

I use your your kernel with the Thunderbolt and battery life is quite good so far even though it's stock battery is 1400mA.

One thing I can say I'm looking forward to with the LCD screen vs AMOLED: I don't have to worry about burn-in (or burn-out, so to speak). I haven't had that problem on the Incredible but, eventually, it would happen.
[Thunderbolt General] Immolate:
I've been surprised with the Thunderbolt. I came from a Droid and then a Droid X and only bought the Thunderbolt because I wanted an upgrade to play with until the dual-core qHD's show up in the summer.

I still consider it to be a "hold-me-over" phone, and I expect the Bionic is going to be the likely replacement, but Thunderbolt has been very pleasing. The HTC build quality is good, and Sense is less maddening than Blur was, but in truth, we really aren't stuck with the junk the manufacturer puts on the phone so they don't really matter very much.

I didn't expect the Thunderbolt to be faster than the X. I expected the battery life to suck. I expected LTE to be marginal for me.

Well it is faster than the X--a lot faster. Perhaps it's RAM or perhaps the processor is just more advanced, but the difference is quite noticeable.

I also haven't had any problems with the battery, although I'm not a heavy user or a heavy talker. Battery life was acceptable before I started rooting and ROM'ing, and has been quite good since then

I don't get LTE at my home and I work from here, so I only see it once a week when I go down to Orlando to see my bro's, so it's still not a big deal to me now. But a year from now it will. Of course I'll be on the big powerhouse phone then, but whoever on my account gets the phone from me will appreciate it (probably my daughter).

Btw, does anyone realize how expensive a five-phone plan is with 2000 minutes and five smart phones? Yikes. I could cause Verizon to have a bad quarter by switching to AT&T with all the money I'm paying them. If I didn't care about my phone doing things like making calls and sending/receiving data, I might consider it.

I've looked at all those sexy phones coming in for T-Mo and AT&T and even Sprint, but I've been with Big Red for a lot of years now and I have faith they will bring the hardware this summer. They may never have the dominance they had last year, but they will be a player.

As for the Thunderbolt, it is an evolutionary phone, pushing yesterday's technology into a fully satisfactory form for today and doing a superb job of it. I'm glad I pulled the trigger on it, rather than waiting for the Charge or DInc2.

[Thunderbolt General] eraursls1984:
With the X you have to use Autokiller if your rooted so it doesn't lag, at least I did, and with autokiller the X was a hell of a phone. I finally found a rom (was released yesterday) for the TB that makes my TB run Better than my X.

The stock sms on the tbolt is horrible. It lags bad. It will gray out the send button mid text. Every other text is failed and have to resend. The word suggestion covers up the message text. The whole design is not very user friendly in my own opinion. But...other than the sms my tbolt is great. And handcent took care of the crappy messaging.
[Thunderbolt General] jjpike:
Yes, I know exactly how expensive this is!!! Me, wife, son, 2 x step kids, every one has a smart phone. And the cable company wants me to pay for a home phone???

I came from an Incredible also. I don't miss it. Once I saw the size of the TBolt screen I was sold.
[Thunderbolt General] moosez3:
Yeah I use go SMS now b/c of the stock texting app problems...

Exactly, I never have like the oversaturation of the AMOLED screens, I much prefer, dare I say, the iPhone's hi-res LCD over the AMOLED any day... I just want to know whats taking android phones sooo long to catch up the apple in this regard :/

Another thing that makes me weary of AMOLED, I leave my screen on all the time b/c the sense slide thing is soo annoying to do 30 times in a miunte...

When I bought this I figured quad-core phones will be out by the time Im ready for an upgrade, and the charge doesnt make me have buyers remorse, I dont think the Bionic will either.

I too am highly disappointed in aspects of the Thunderbolt, but 95% of of my disappointment will be fixed when Cyanogenmod is ready for daily use. That was the only reason I kept it past the 2 weeks- I would have turned it back in if I knew I would be stuck with Sense. I remember feeling the same about my Incredible, coming from a Nexus.

I can live with the odd placement of the USB, volume, etc. I cant deal with choppyness and instability on a device with these specs. I know a lot of people like Sense, but I for one like my Android vanilla.
